The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 66
◈ Episode 66 I am dropping out (1)
There is less than a week left until the start of school.
Now that it was time to assign a new dormitory for the second semester, Kim Yi-gun was thinking about calling Kim Joo-hyuk.
Of course, it was not for any other reason, but because donors had to allocate a large dormitory separately.
But surprisingly, Kim Joo-hyuk came to see him even before Kim called, with just a few days left before school started.
But the problem is.
“I’m going to drop out.”
“…what?”
The topic of conversation that Kim Joo-hyuk brought up was something that would make Kim Lee’s brain stop for a moment.
For a moment, Kim looked at Kim Joo-hyuk with an expression of incomprehension and then opened his mouth.
“…is this a joke?”
“No, are you really planning to drop out?”
“really?”
“yes.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opens his mouth so calmly and casually.
Kim looked at him with an even more confused expression.
‘Is this guy serious?’
That thought passed through my mind without me even realizing it.
That’s because no matter where you look, there is no reason for Kim Joo-hyuk to drop out.
Money problems?
No, it couldn’t have been a money issue.
I don’t know why, but the Bentrick family is currently sponsoring Kim Joo-hyuk, and Kim Joo-hyuk is currently exempt from all tuition due to having the top score in Valhalla.
So what about interpersonal relationships?
‘…That doesn’t seem to be the case at all.’
In the first place, he couldn’t imagine that Kim Joo-hyuk was having a hard time with interpersonal relationships, so Kim shook his head briefly and then opened his mouth.
“Are you really going to drop out?”
“You’re saying you’re dropping out?”
Kim Joo-hyuk opens his mouth very earnestly.
Mr. Kim reacted very calmly and seemed to be thinking about something, but then he opened his mouth and said,
“…First of all, I understand. However, if you want to drop out, you will probably have to have a private meeting with the chairman-”
“Quit!?”
-I couldn’t.
“really!?”
The reason is because of Liliya, who came in just a moment ago.
Kim Joo-hyuk greeted Liliya with a slight nod when he saw her for the first time in a long time, but she looked at him with a very shocked expression and said,
“You’re really dropping out!?”
“however?”
“why!?”
“…just?”
To be precise, rather than simply dropping out without thinking, Kim Joo-hyuk had no reason to remain in Valhalla any longer.
‘I’ve already searched all of Vigo, so there’s nothing left, and I’ve also recovered all the memories and rice cakes that were my original purpose.’
Of course, if Kim Joo-hyuk had other reasons to stay, he might have thought about continuing to stay in Valhalla, but no matter how much he thought about it, there was no reason for him to remain here.
No, rather, there was a reason to leave.
‘Class is so annoying.’
Quite literally, Kim Joo-hyuk found class annoying.
Right now, there was nothing for Kim Joo-hyuk to learn at this school, including monster subjects or combat.
The least he could learn was the 300-year history of Kim Joo-hyuk’s reincarnation, but even this he was not particularly interested in.
For Kim Joo-hyuk, the important thing was the future rather than the past.
And more than anything, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that it was more beneficial to wake up in the morning and train rather than dozing off while taking classes.
‘It’s beneficial to train during class time.’
In fact, the reason I didn’t drop out right after finishing Yanrang’s work was because I could train without classes during vacation and use the training equipment inside Valhalla.
‘Besides, even if I drop out now, I have somewhere to go right away.’
The Bentrick family, who were Kim Joo-hyuk’s enemies, could now provide him with sanctuary at any time, and if going to the Bentrick family was a hassle, he could go to the Choi Jin family, Choi A-rin’s original family.
‘Because the little guy said he would take care of everything.’
If we both didn’t like it, it was okay to just buy a house with the extra money.
“no! “Please don’t go!”
“???”
Kim looked at Liliya and Kim Joo-hyuk with an expression of ‘What kind of situation is this?’
“If you have any questions about monsters, do you contact me once in a while?”
“really!?”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Liliya with the same eyes as when he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, seeing her change her previously tearful expression and immediately smile brightly.
‘…Was he originally like this?’
At that moment, such a thought came into Kim’s mind, and Liliya’s usual appearance flashed by.
I’ve seen people maintain that kind of high tension while saying they’ve succeeded in some kind of research, but it was the first time I’d seen that type of tension shown to someone else, so he looked at me blankly without realizing it.
“Hmm…”
Soon, Kim came to his senses and opened his mouth with a small sigh.
“…First of all, I understand that you are dropping out, but I need to meet with the chairman, so please wait a day.”
“Do you have to do it?”
“But since it is a procedural matter, it must be done at least once.”
“What do you know?”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked dissatisfied with Kim Yi-gun’s words, but quickly nodded.
“Joo-hyuk, uhm… Then I dropped out, so I guess I’ll have nothing to do?”
“Yes, I won’t~”
“I didn’t even say anything…”
“I won’t accompany you.”
“Then, something other than a companion!”
“what?”
“If you want, just pass the academy qualification exam and get a master’s degree…!”
“I’ll never do that~”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at him with a confused expression as he left, chatting with Liliya. He then sighed, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed the extension number.
####
Exactly five hours have passed since Kim Joo-hyuk said in the teacher’s office that he was dropping out of Valhalla.
And in the meantime, Kim Joo-hyuk was the same as usual.
“Are you dropping out?”
“uh.”
“Then I want to do it too.”
“?”
Having an incomprehensible conversation with Choi Arin.
“Ugh!”
“The left side is empty.”
“Ugh!”
“Right this time.”
“Hey, stop hitting me!!!”
“Are you flirting?”
“It’s twisted!!!”
“If I twist you, you’ll become stronger than me~”
Baaaaaak!
He was just continuing his training by giving Yan Lang intensive training.
But the problem is.
Wooooow-!
[Hello, student Kim Joo-hyuk.]
‘What is this voice?’
[This is my first time on the phone. It’s Seolryeon.]
“Ah, yes.”
[Are you doing well with Yanrang?]
“Well, of course. “Why would you like me to change it for you?”
[No, because someone else is planning to visit her separately soon.]
“Then?”
[Nothing special, I just called to say hello.]
“Oh, yes.”
[If there is anything you don’t like about your current life, please contact me. Well, you don’t have to have any difficulties.]
“Ah… yes. “I understand.”
[Okay, see you next time.]
Pop.
Wooooow-!
“hello?”
[Nice to meet you. Are you Kim Joo-hyuk, a student?]
“Who are you?”
[Ah, this is my first time greeting you. My name is Jack Rip, a human resources instructor at Hero Academy.]
“So?”
[After hearing that none other than student Kim Joo-hyuk had a small complaint within the academy-]
“It’s not like that, so I’ll hang up first.”
Pop.
Ugh-!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
“Aaahhh why are these bastards so crazy all of a sudden!?”
As the training was coming to an end in the evening, calls started coming in on his smartphone like crazy.
Is that it?
“That Joohyuk? In our guild, there was an empty raid spot this time-”
“Hey, hello? Isn’t that me? My name is Scobie of the Robtail family, and I have nothing but things to say to you-” “
Hello, Joo-hyuk! Do you like pasta? “If time permits, I’d like to take you to my favorite pasta restaurant!”
Suddenly, people who had not been seen until last week were suddenly seen wherever Kim Joo-hyuk went.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk frowned as if he couldn’t understand what kind of situation this was.
Ugh-!
Yan Lang: Hey.
Yanlang: Yes?
Kim Joo-hyuk: Why?
Yanlang: You got a call from before dinner.
Yan Lang: https://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=shm&sid1=103&oid=422&aid=00004623211128
Yan Lang: I guess it’s because of this.
Kim Joo-hyuk: ????
Kim Joo-hyuk soon entered the site through a message from Yan Lang.
[Valhalla Academy 1st place Kim Joo-hyuk is dissatisfied with the academy and says, ‘I will drop out.’]
[Kim Joo-hyuk! Dropping out of Valhalla Academy!?]
[Where is Kim Joo-hyuk’s next destination after dropping out of Valhalla Academy?]
[Breaking news! What is Kim Joo-hyuk’s next move? Check out Kim Joo-hyuk going to the White Lotus Club during vacation…]
[Conflict between Valhalla Academy and Kim Joo-hyuk! What could be the cause?]
[Hero Academy “If Kim Joo-hyuk comes, we will welcome him with a wide heart.” During special admission consideration]
[White Lotus Association “We will present conditions that are superior to those offered by any other academy.”]
“What kind of bullshit case is this again?”
Kim Joo-hyuk laughed with a bewildered expression as he saw the fact that he was dropping out of school become the main news in just five hours.
‘Is this why you both called?’
Kim Joo-hyuk frowned as he recalled the sudden, non-stop calls he received from his smartphone that had call restrictions on.
‘No, how on earth did it leak?’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about the past.
The only people who were there were Kim and Liliya.
There was no one else besides him.
“Tsk.”
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk, who gave up on finding the person who spread this story, soon stopped answering the phone and looked fed up as he saw the messages coming.
Knock –
In the meantime, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth when he heard a knock on the dormitory door.
“who are you.”
“I’m the homeroom teacher. It’s a little late, but the chairman asked if he could meet right now. “Are you sure you’ll be okay?”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon heard Kim Yi-gun’s voice saying business, immediately stood up and said.
“Let’s go right away.”
####
The masked man, a member of Ilgyo and who had come to see Kim Joo-hyuk once again under the orders of Dungwi, was currently sweating in the sky above Valhalla.
Why?
That’s right.
[Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.] [Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.
]
[Tugwi laughs madly. Laughs.]
[Tugui laughs madly.] [Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.]
[Tugwi laughs madly.]
…
…
…. ..
..
.
This was because Dungwi, who had ordered Kim Joo-hyuk to go again, frantically popped up a notification window as soon as he saw him.
I broke out into a cold sweat without even realizing it due to the strong reaction of Tugui, whom I saw for the first time since signing the contract.
Tugui kept popping up the notification window for a while.
[The King has returned.]
He laughed like crazy and floated that one word over the masked man’s eyes.
