The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 9
◈ Episode 009. Murderous Slayer (1)
Kim Joo-hyuk basically knows how to distinguish between people.
Well, that doesn’t mean that I have an exceptionally good eye for seeing people, but rather that I was naturally able to distinguish between people because I spent a long time rolling under them in my previous life.
At least the world he had to live in in his past life was a world where it was natural to get stabbed if you didn’t have the eyes to properly distinguish between people.
Anyway, in that sense, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to figure it out just by encountering the people blocking his path.
These guys don’t have any favors towards him at all and are just guys who came to start a fight.
And Kim Joo-hyuk always showed the same attitude toward those guys, both past and present.
“What you brat?”
“Aren’t you a bitch?”
After saying that, Kim Joo-hyuk responded with a low exclamation as if he suddenly remembered something.
“So now I see you’re not a gangster?”
“…?”
“He wasn’t a gangster, he was a Power Ranger. Red, blue, black, yellow… is there any pink?”
Kim Joo-hyuk playfully moves his fingers and points out the hair color of the gangsters who are blocking his path, making a goofy laugh.
“Huh, look at this guy?”
Reric, the eldest son of the Sunrise family, the person who blocked Kim Joo-hyuk’s path and the leader of this gang of scoundrels, laughed and spoke as if it was fun.
“Why are you so confident? “Does your senior look easy?”
Relic is making the atmosphere heavy.
Certainly, in this situation, ordinary students would be a little afraid.
It was a situation where a group of gangsters who looked like gangsters suddenly blocked the way, surrounding one person and putting pressure on him.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk did not fall into that category of ordinary student.
“Why are you asking the obvious?”
“what?”
“Are you scared when you watch Power Rangers? Were you a villain who was beaten by the Power Rangers in the past? But why am I scared? Plus-” He
sighed.
“Looking at it, there’s no pink, so it’s not a complete group, but now I see there are two yellow people. How about making one pink?”
Kim Joo-hyuk laughs and teases.
Relic responded with a laugh, as if it was absurd.
“Look what you’re saying?”
“Why am I so amazed when my true identity is revealed at once?”
“This bastard…”
Relic frowned grimly.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke to him, whose face was now hardening with an expression of annoyance.
“So if you don’t have anything to say, how about getting out of the way? Isn’t it a waste to spend time like this? “I’m busy because I have a lot of things to do unlike you.”
“Hah… I guess there’s nothing noticeable about coming into Valhalla at the top of the grade?”
“Are you teasing me? “You know if you tease me, right?”
Looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was still giggling with a playful expression, Reric felt his hand go up involuntarily, but he soon endured it with superhuman patience.
‘There are too many eyes here.’
To be honest, Relic was confident that he would beat Kim Joo-hyuk right now.
No matter how much he is ranked first in the first grade, he is still first in the first grade.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that first place in the first year was not a trivial position, but to him who had a grade of 12th among second graders, first place in the first year did not seem that great.
I don’t know about 2nd and 3rd graders, but the difference between 1st and 2nd graders is big.
But still, Relic endured.
He knew very well that even if he beat him now, he wouldn’t get his money back anyway.
‘I was wondering why Ventric made such an attractive offer, but he’s such a crazy bastard, right?’
He recalled the request made by Rockdil Bentrick, an exchange student, a few days ago.
Bentrick asked him to take care of Kim Joo-hyuk, who came in first place in the first grade, and at the same time offered a very sweet reward.
However, he scolded himself because it was very foolish to break Valhalla’s rules and receive a penalty in order to receive that sweet reward.
‘Okay, let’s calm down for now. Right now…’
Besides, I came out today anyway just to see his face.
Reric thought that and forced a twisted smile as he looked at Kim Joo-hyuk, who was still smiling.
“Are we going to see each other often? – Hey, let’s go.”
As soon as they said that, the group immediately moved and disappeared as if they didn’t want to listen to Kim Joo-hyuk’s story anymore.
Until the end, Kim Joo-hyuk whetted his appetite as he watched people passing him by with strange eyes.
‘I want to beat you up.’
While speaking honestly, Kim Joo-hyuk thought about tearing down Relic’s bamboo tube several times, but held back.
Do you think you can’t win?
no.
No matter how bad his body was, he had the confidence to beat up those idiots.
‘If it weren’t for the Constellation’s room, I’d just break the head.’
The reason Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t cause any trouble.
It was because of the Constellation Room that he was planning to enter tomorrow.
‘The reason I came to Valhalla in the first place was because of the Constellation Room, but it gets annoying when I get in fist fights with guys like that and things go wrong for no reason.’
so that.
‘I’ll see you after I go to the Constellation’s room.’
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the place where Relic disappeared and licked his lips again.
‘I’ll break all your heads.’
That’s what I thought.
####
6 a.m. the next day.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who entered the physical training center lined with various equipment, looked at Choi A-rin, who was standing on one side of the gym, which looked very quiet.
“Are you here?”
“Are you going to tell me now?”
Choi A-rin is seen holding a sword, probably for practice, with an expectant expression.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk shook his head.
“no.”
“…Don’t you tell me?”
Unlike before, Kim Joo-hyuk still responded without changing his expression even though Choi Ah-rin looked downcast even though her tone of voice was lowered by two tones and she did not speak much.
“If you want to learn from me, you have to train your body first.”
“Physical training?”
Is that really necessary? Choi A-rin tilts her head with an expression that says,
However, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“no? “Don’t hate it.”
“No, I won’t.”
Actually, it didn’t matter if I didn’t do it.
Anyway, from Kim Joo-hyuk’s point of view, the reason he wanted to teach Choi A-rin was purely a whim.
‘I have to keep training my physical strength from now on anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take care of it as well. ‘It’s just training anyway.’
It would be cumbersome and difficult to make it seem like you really took on a student, but it wasn’t that difficult as long as you trained them together and gave them advice.
‘Besides, it’s true that you lack the discipline to handle the real Tao anyway.’
At least in the current world, it seems that training is focused on magical power rather than physical training, but Kim Joo-hyuk thought that such a trend was very foolish.
Only with physical strength could one handle magic power well, and likewise be able to receive more magic power.
That’s an obvious fact, but strangely enough, in today’s world, everyone is strangely obsessed with magical power rather than physical training.
A strange obsession with training one’s body to keep magical power to the minimum acceptable level, while conversely training one’s magical power to the limit that the body can accept.
It was the same for Choi Arin.
‘The amount of magical power seems to be considerable.’
Despite his considerable magical power, his physical training was not even half as good as his, so Kim Joo-hyuk decided to fix that part first.
In fact, if only that part were corrected, Choi A-rin’s skills would be much higher than they are now.
‘And if you follow along better than I thought, there’s nothing I can’t help you with… Well, I don’t know if I’ll be here until then.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought that and smiled and started physical training with Choi A-rin.
So 30 minutes later.
“Hehe… Hehe….”
“Well, now I finally feel like exercising.”
“What… hehe… say… hehe?”
“Why is it so spread out? “I still have 20km left to run at full speed?”
“….”
Choi A-rin’s eyes began to tremble for the first time.
####
5pm, when all classes are over.
The entrance to the ‘Constellation Room’ at the eastern end of Valhalla.
“…Why does this place seem to be much more protected than the outside of Valhalla?”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked around and said, and Kim answered as if it was obvious.
“As you know, this Constellation Room is a treasure of the Academy that made Valhalla one of the top three academies in the world. “Don’t you think it’s strange that there aren’t this many people?”
As Kim Joo-hyuk’s homeroom teacher, Kim I-gun, said, the Constellation Room had such great value that Valhalla was included in the top three academies in the world.
However, what Kim Joo-hyuk was talking about was not the security personnel near the Holy See Room, but the security guard hanging in the building itself.
‘I just painted it over and over again and ended up putting a lot of paint on it.’
The building was plastered with so many magic circles that Kim Joo-hyuk got tired of looking at them.
To what extent, should we say that only the entrance to the building is visible because it is actually covered by the magic circle?
How long has it been since Kim Joo-hyuk stood at the entrance so blankly and looked at the building?
“Student Kim Joo-hyuk has been confirmed.”
“You can go in now.”
“Oh really?”
“However, as I said last time, the only area you are allowed to use is the first basement level of the Constellation Room. “Please be aware that if you try to go down to the second basement level, you may be expelled from Valhalla.”
“all right.”
“And the time you can stay in the Constellation Room is 30 minutes.”
“I knew that too. “Can I come in now?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Kim Lee looked at him with a strangely anxious expression, but quickly nodded, and at the same time, Kim Joo-hyuk immediately started heading down toward the Constellation’s room.
Looking at him like that, Kim looked anxious, but then shrugged his shoulders.
‘Surely you won’t go down to the second basement level…?’
No matter how unusual his personality may be, Kim Joo-hyuk entered Valhalla first and would benefit much more from being at the academy than from being expelled.
‘Yes, I’m sure he won’t kick the fortune with his feet.’
Therefore, Kim quickly shook off his anxious feelings.
“Okay, let’s take a look.”
[Find the weapon and the memory.]
[Valhalla Constellation Room, 3rd basement floor, fifth room on the right]
[■■■ ■■■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ]
[■■■■■■ ■■■ ■■■■■ ■■ ■■■]
In the first place, it didn’t really matter whether Kim Joo-hyuk was expelled from Valhalla or not.
Of course, if this happened and I became a criminal, my belly button would become bigger than my stomach, so I would have tried to avoid it as much as possible, but it didn’t matter as long as I achieved my goal, especially getting expelled from Valhalla.
‘This is why I came to Valhalla in the first place.’
Thinking like that, Kim Joo-hyuk started going down the seemingly endless stairs.
“Is this place?”
Soon enough, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to see the Constellation Room.
“…prison?”
To be honest, the Constellation Room looked a little strange when Kim Joo-hyuk saw it.
What I could immediately see was a straight hallway with a door on each side of it, like a prison or gosiwon.
What you see in the distance along with that is a staircase going down.
Kim Joo-hyuk stopped appreciating it as if there was nothing to see and immediately started walking towards the second basement floor.
[You have met the conditions!]
“?”
As soon as he walked inside, Kim Joo-hyuk placed a question mark on the notification window that appeared before his eyes.
[Move to the room.]
Before Kim Joo-hyuk could say anything, he felt his vision in front of him blinking.
and.
[It’s been a while, Kim Hyeon-oh.]
“…Barche?”
As soon as Kim Joo-hyuk’s vision recovered, he was able to see Barche, the King of Destruction, appearing in front of him.
[It’s a reunion after 300 years… this isn’t bad-]
“I met you well, you bastard!”
Wow!
Kim Joo-hyuk rushed at him without any hesitation and hit him with a bamboo tube.
