The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 58
◈ Episode 58 Would you like to be my disciple? (2)
“This is a scam!”
“What is fraud?”
“You cheated on your skills!”
Kim Joo-hyuk laughed and spoke while looking at Yan Lang who was screaming as if it was nonsense.
“You didn’t cheat?”
“I cheated!”
“I didn’t hit you?”
“You hit me!? “It definitely wasn’t like this back then!”
Yan Lang is frowning as if he is truly being unfairly treated.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“But anyway, losing is losing, right?”
“no! This is a scam! “You told me off from the beginning!?”
“Haha, Heo-jeop is whining again….”
“It’s not Heo-jeop!!”
“Yes, 1 second cut for the next 10 times in a row~”
Yanrang gritted his teeth as if he was truly aggrieved by Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
For some reason, it seemed as if tears were forming between the corners of his eyes, but Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as if it were nothing despite seeing Yan Lang like that.
“Anyway, you lost all 10 games with this, so quietly return to the White Lotus Club, you idiot.”
“Uggyaaaaa! Nonsense! “This is a scam!!!”
Seeing Yan Lang screaming as if she was upset by Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, he chuckled and then turned around and started thinking as he went back to the dormitory.
‘There is no problem with the use of magical power…’
A total of 10 sparring sessions with Yan Lang.
…In fact, during practice with Yan Lang, who was just playing into Kim Joo-hyuk’s hands without even being called a sparring match, he confirmed that his magic power worked very well as he expected.
No, Kim Joo-hyuk was feeling doubtful about the magic power of moving so well that it was completely at the same level as his own limbs.
‘It’s so amazing…’
Of course, it is a very good phenomenon for magic power to move like one’s own limbs.
To put it another way, the fact that the magic power in his body moves well according to Kim Joo-hyuk’s reactions is like saying that his body has adapted extremely well to magic power.
But the problem is.
‘…This body is not yet able to adapt to magical power?’
Kim Joo-hyuk has been training his magic in earnest for five months at best.
However, just five months of magic training alone is not enough time for the body to accept the magic.
But now?
‘It’s as if I’ve returned to my body 300 years ago.’
Of course, it wouldn’t be to that extent, but Kim Joo-hyuk felt as if he was using magical power in his body before reincarnation, so he tilted his head and thought for a moment.
‘What’s good is good.’
Kim Joo-hyuk soon ended his thought with a shrug of his shoulders.
Anyway, although this change was very surprising, it was not a bad change for Kim Joo-hyuk in the end.
‘Well, just in case, I guess I should try using more magic power first before I go to meet the guide.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought like that and walked towards the dormitory.
‘What on earth?! What on earth?!’
Yan Lang looked confused as if he didn’t understand as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk walking away in the distance with an expression of complete incomprehension.
‘It definitely wasn’t that bad?’
Yan Lang clearly saw the edge of Kim Joo-hyuk’s state.
And at the end, Yan Lang clearly thought that even if he couldn’t beat Kim Joo-hyuk, he would definitely have a chance once or twice.
Even after fighting Kim Joo-hyuk, Yan Lang clearly grew more than before.
But what about reality?
‘…I couldn’t even fight properly.’
Yan Lang couldn’t even fight properly.
Or can this be described as a fight?
‘….’
Yan Lang couldn’t answer that and looked away.
Where her gaze rested, she saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s back already walking away.
and.
‘if it goes like this…!’
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk’s back, which was now starting to get smaller, she stiffened her face and stared at it as if she had decided on something.
####
“They said it was on time two days later and it was true.”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he had been moved to a shantytown as soon as the clock struck the hour, and immediately looked at the guide sitting across from him and said,
“Then you thought it was a lie?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Kim Joo-hyuk answered the guide’s question like that and sat down and opened his mouth.
“So you’re going to get straight to the point, right?”
“Yeah, like I said last time, I don’t have time.”
“Why are we so short on time?”
“I’m being chased. To Lord Labyrinth.”
Her answer raised several questions in Kim Joo-hyuk’s mind, but she opened her mouth as if she had no intention of letting him ask questions.
“I’ll tell you this story next time I have time. Anyway, what’s important to you right now is not this, but what I’m going to tell you today.”
“…Well, that’s what I came to hear in the first place.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk closed his mouth as if telling him to speak, the guide spoke immediately.
“After three months, things will really go wrong.”
“…what do you mean by that?”
“Literally, in about three months, the place you live is going to start going crazy.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, seeing the guide’s face open with a serious expression, frowned for a moment and spoke.
“…I think the Tower of Destruction still has a long way to go before it comes down.”
“Of course it’s not the Tower of Destruction. This is the previous step. If you lived 300 years ago, wouldn’t you know this? “What was the world like at that time?”
“…300 years ago?”
In response to the guide’s question, Kim Joo-hyuk thought for a moment and spoke.
“Disaster?”
“I guess that’s what it was called in your time, although it was called by a different name in ours.”
“Oh fuck.”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at her words.
Disaster.
300 years ago, Kim Joo-hyuk saw a disaster that occurred before the Tower of Destruction came down.
And that too several times.
Besides, have you ever seen it?
There were even times when I personally prevented a disaster.
So,
“A disaster is coming?”
“okay.”
“Fuck you.”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned.
Because he knows what happens once disaster strikes.
“Is that what you’re talking about? Suddenly, a labyrinth appears, all the monsters come out of it, and all the dungeons around the created labyrinth explode, completely destroying the area…” “
That’s right.”
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned at her affirmation and spoke after thinking for a moment.
“How big is it? What is the labyrinth that emerges?”
“I don’t know about that, but it’s probably the one place you’d expect.”
“…Why is that bastard suddenly causing disaster?”
“It’s about adapting.”
“what?”
“I told you. Migungju wants a name with good achievements. But if you throw the Tower of Destruction from the beginning…” “
…everyone might not be able to adapt and fall behind, so rather than throwing the Tower of Destruction, let’s cause a disaster first and let them adapt?”
“that’s right. Shouldn’t hardships and adversities come sequentially so that by the time the harvest comes, at least as many people will be stronger? “Right now, I’m just throwing one out on purpose with the feeling of, ‘Can I survive this much?’”
“The more I listen, the more I admire it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opens his mouth with a smile.
The guide looked at him once and shook his head as if there was nothing he could do. After a moment of silence, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately began to speak.
“So the first thing I have to do is prevent the disaster that will occur in three months?”
“that’s right. And perhaps, as time passes, we will be able to tell you at least where the disaster will occur. “I don’t plan on playing until then either.”
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed annoyed by the guide’s words.
“So, in the end, you’re saying that you have to keep being swayed by that bastard’s tricks in the beginning?”
“what?”
“In the end, if I listen to what you say, we have to keep attacking on that side and block it unilaterally on this side, right?”
“It was originally like that. “If it was original.”
“What if it was originally?”
At those words, the guide smiled and spoke.
“I told you last time, right? “Thanks to meeting you, I got the ‘opportunity’ to have a fight with that bastard.”
“…Seeing you say that, it seems like there is some way?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
On that.
“of course.”
The guide looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with a confident expression and smiled.
####
The day after Kim Joo-hyuk met his guide.
Kim Joo-hyuk was doing a simple exercise in the training room before absorbing the storage stone.
“Hmm.”
I was continuing to worry, recalling what I had heard from the guide yesterday.
‘Secure power…’
The guide told him that it would be a good idea to secure enough power or force to deal with at least one disaster.
‘Well, if you think about just handling one thing, I don’t think there’s any need to secure power.’
Disaster is hell.
Kim Joo-hyuk knows because he has experienced it several times.
He had seen the land countless times, with endless monsters flowing out, destroying the land, and turning it so desolate that it was uninhabitable in the past.
However, no matter how much of a disaster it was, Kim Joo-hyuk was confident that he could handle it.
‘In the first place, I went into the labyrinth without thinking about protecting the outside, and if I just destroy the boss and the core, the disaster will end.’
The source of the disaster was actually the labyrinth, or more accurately, the ‘core’ within the labyrinth.
In short, if the nuclear weapons were destroyed, the ‘disaster’ would stop.
But the problem is next.
‘Even if we prevent disaster, the monsters that have already appeared through the dungeon storm will not disappear.’
Monsters that flowed out of the labyrinth or from dungeons that ran rampant under the influence of the labyrinth do not disappear once they flow out to the ground.
That means that even if Kim Joo-hyuk stops the disaster, the monsters will still remain and destroy the earth.
After thinking about it for a while, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately remembered the existence of associations and guilds and quickly came to a conclusion.
‘If you give me adequate warning, I’ll stop it on its own.’
Unless the association and guild are more assholes than Kim Joo-hyuk thinks, that will be fully preventable.
‘Well, actually, if something like this continues in the future, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to secure some power.’
Creating a force is very cumbersome and difficult, but it is convenient if you create a force first.
How do you know that?
This was because Kim Joo-hyuk had created a power before being reincarnated.
‘Well, in reality, I just rode the bus because my students had already made it.’
‘Who created the disciples’ armed forces? Since the formula ‘That is me’ was established, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that he had created a power before.
Anyway, the power gave Kim Joo-hyuk a lot of comfort.
When asked in what ways it was comfortable, it was comfortable in a fairly broad range of ways.
The best thing about it was that the people who were bothering me and arguing with me disappeared.
The next best thing was to be able to relax and have a lot of money coming in without worrying about starving.
Next, it was quite attractive to take care of chores that didn’t require me to do it myself.
‘Should I take the time to make it again this time?’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about that for a moment.
Not much time passes.
“Kim Joo-hyuk! I can’t go back like this because I feel unfair! “This time, we fight again with pure force!”
Yan Lang was preparing to start an argument after seeing Kim Joo-hyuk outside the training center.
“Hey, you should be my disciple.”
“…what?”
“Aren’t you a disciple?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s next words, I unconsciously made a dumb expression, but then frowned and screamed.
“Why am I suddenly becoming a disciple!?”
“You say you want to win me?”
“however!?”
“Then who should I learn from if I want to win?”
“…you?”
“The answer is correct, so are you going to do it?”
“Uh…huh? uh?? “I have to win, so… right?”
Huh? Isn’t this it? Yanrang has a confused expression on his face.
however.
“Polite word.”
“what?”
“Are you not going to use polite language towards your teacher? “You say you want to beat me?”
However, Yan Lang was caught up in Kim Joo-hyuk’s continued pace.
“Ah yes…?”
At some point, I found myself using polite language without even realizing it.
