The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 90
◈ Episode 90. Unbeknownst to Kim Joo-hyuk, (2)
“So, to get to the point, you want to become a disciple too?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Oh Se-hyuk nodded with a very puffy face.
“right. If there is a separate tuition fee, I will pay it. In addition, I will do whatever is possible to meet any of the requirements.”
Oh Se-hyuk’s words seem quite serious.
…Of course, thanks to his swollen face, he didn’t look that serious, but Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to be concerned for a moment by Oh Se-hyuk’s serious appearance.
“Surely your talent isn’t that bad.”
From the moment Kim Joo-hyuk first entered Valhalla Academy and met Oh Se-hyuk, he recognized the talent he had.
A talent for the body that cannot be compared to others.
Certainly, if Kim Joo-hyuk had seen him 300 years ago, he would have tried to raise Oh Se-hyuk because it was clear that he would grow up to be a great cash cow.
‘Not now.’
Not now.
Currently, Kim Joo-hyuk is quite busy every day due to training.
After training in the morning, we have lunch, after training in the afternoon, we eat dinner, and after that, we do light training in the evening, and then go to the dormitory and practice magic power.
Kim Joo-hyuk was undergoing an enormous amount of training every day, to the point that he could literally be called a training machine.
‘Well, if this body was a trash body with no talent at all, training it would have been extremely frustrating.’
As I’ve said several times, Kim Joo-hyuk’s body is growing very quickly as he does, so he spends most of his days focusing on training.
He needed to get stronger, and even up to this point, being strong was pretty fun.
In fact, Yan Lang and Choi A-lin have been training almost individually these days, except for sparring, although they only touched the training manual briefly in the morning.
But what if I had to teach Oh Se-hyuk again in this situation?
‘It’s cumbersome and takes too much time.’
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk made a decisive decision.
“no.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
“…isn’t that also possible?”
Oh Se-hyuk responded with a noticeably sullen expression.
Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“instead.”
“?”
“Learn from him.”
He then pointed to Yan Lang and said.
“…Det?”
A strange sound came from Oh Se-hyuk’s mouth.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk spoke without paying attention.
“You want me to learn from him? In the first place, he’s probably good at teaching you, right? Even if it looks like that, it’s probably several times… no, dozens of times stronger than you. Besides-”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at Yan Lang and Oh Se-hyuk as if it wasn’t that bad.
“Since we both use our fists, it would be nice to spar with each other later if we grow them up a bit.”
“Now wait…”
“Why? no?”
“No, that…” Oh
Se-hyuk’s eyes began to roll incessantly.
He slowly turns his gaze to look at Yan Lang, breaks into a sweat, then looks at Kim Joo-hyuk standing in front of him again, then looks beyond him again and breaks into even more cold sweat.
“?”
Kim Joo-hyuk felt something strange and turned his gaze toward Yan Lang.
“??”
Yan Lang had a normal expression with no special expression, and Kim Joo-hyuk, who tilted his head while looking at her, shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“Anyway, I know that’s what you’re doing, but I have to train again, so that’s it.”
“Now wait a minute, Kim Joo-!”
“Oh, nice to meet you. “Did you say Oh Se-hyuk?”
“Sleep-”
Nod-!
“Did you say Oh Se Hyuk?”
“Off!? “It’s like that.”
“Shall we talk over there for a moment? huh? “Tell me about training.”
“Ah, I get it.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who went to the break room of the training room with Yan Lang, looked toward the break room with a new expression.
‘what? ‘Why are you so nice to me?’
To be honest, he was expecting Yanrang to go on a rampage, but Kim Joo-hyuk looked bewildered at the sight of Yanrang so kindly taking Oh Se-hyuk away.
‘What do you think?’
Kim Joo-hyuk soon shrugged his shoulders and looked away, walking away to continue training, but suddenly turned his gaze to look at Choi A-rin, who was standing in the small stadium built on one side of the training room.
Or,
to be more precise, I looked at the method that Choi A-rin was learning.
It is a sword method that he knows well, and a sword method that the Sword King actually learned from him.
Kim Joo-hyuk smiled irritably as he watched Choi A-rin holding her posture.
‘…I never thought they’d be using that sword method like that until now.’
Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the first time he met Choi Arin.
To be exact, when I first saw her feet.
Honestly, at that time, I thought Choi A-rin’s method was completely different from the method I was familiar with.
That’s because the method she uses is very different from the method Kim Joo-hyuk knows and created together with the king.
‘But I guess the reason he deteriorated like that is simply because he doesn’t have the physical ability to use Taoism properly.’
The method used by Choi A-rin was clearly a fairly simple method, but in order to use it correctly, one had to have a certain level of physical ability.
Not magic power, but the physical ability to use that sword technique as is.
But how have hunters, or contractors, changed over the past 300 years?
‘I didn’t even do any physical training and started gathering it through magical power and wild weapons.’
As a result, my physical abilities naturally deteriorated.
Thanks to this, in the end, the good swordsmanship that was once called the slightly unwieldy name of ‘one sword invincible’ ended up becoming such a strange and idiotic swordsmanship.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk watched Choi A-rin wielding the sword for a while.
‘If Choi A-rin were able to use the Japanese sword naturally, wouldn’t it be quite useful?’
After thinking about that, I continued to practice.

Alchemist John was reading documents in a hideout near Seoul, not in the mansion where he usually stayed.
This is a document detailing this operation.
How much time had passed in that space where the only thing that could be heard was the sound of John regularly turning the pages
.
chin.
John quickly turned over all the documents in his hands and, with a small smile, praised his subordinate for planning this plan.
“Not bad.”
“thank you.”
While listening to his subordinate, Alchemist John opened the document he had closed again.
The thing drawn on the first page was a map of Valhalla.
The next page contained detailed records of Valhalla’s security times and major strategic points with security magic circles drawn on them.
John, who was looking through the documents again, opened his mouth.
“But it’s definitely Valhalla Academy. “Security is tough.”
“That’s true.”
The security of Valhalla Academy was so great that the man who planned it agreed and John, who was familiar with magic circles and various alchemy, acknowledged it.
No, it was so thorough that it made me wonder if this was some sort of perversion.
especially.
‘There are 132 security magic circles in the dormitory where Kim Joo-hyuk lives…’
John held his tongue at first as he saw that the dormitory where Kim Joo-hyuk, the target, lives, had 132 security magic circles, 32 CCTVs, and even guns. Surrounded by
No matter how ignorant they were, there was no one who would put 132 security magic circles into just one building.
Considering that a single security magic circle is worth hundreds of millions, this was impossible.
However, Valhalla actually placed 132 security magic circles on Kim Joo-hyuk’s dormitory, and thanks to that, his dormitory is now no different from a fortress.
It’s also an incredibly strong steel fortress.
If they were ordinary contractors, they might have given up on dealing with Kim Joo-hyuk at this point.
Yes, for ordinary contractors.
However, Alchemist Zone was far from ordinary.
That’s because he made a contract with a constellation through a relic from the Age of Destruction, and the constellation that made a contract with John was the ‘Absolutely Unchangeable Alchemist’, an S-class constellation.
And among the alchemist’s unchangeable abilities was the ability to nullify all magic circles, so in reality, magic circles were of no use to him.
There it is.
“Are all personnel ready?”
“Yes, there are 25 Grade A contractors and 30 Grade B contractors who will attract attention from the outside.”
“That’s a lot.”
“From the moment you invade Valhalla, you will attract the attention of those around you, so we created as many personnel as possible.”
“That choice isn’t a bad one.”
“Thank you, but there is one thing that concerns me.”
“worry?”
When Alchemist John turned his gaze to look at the man, he looked worried for a moment and then spoke.
“As you know, the current chairman of Valhalla is Black Cat.”
“Is that what you said last time? “What about a situation where you offend the Black Cat and become unable to use the market?”
“That’s right.”
Clearly, Alchemist John fully understood the man’s concerns.
Because the market was the best place for evildoers to do business.
However, Alchemist John was not particularly worried about the market.
That’s because he, who had an alchemist as his constellation, had found a way to enter the market even if he was recognized by the ‘master behind the scenes’.
“As I said last time, you don’t have to worry about that. “Even if I get kicked out of the market, I know how to break through it.”
“All right. “Then I will not talk about him any more.”
John chuckled as he looked at the man who bowed his head deeply as if he had made a rude gesture, then stood up and said,
“Okay then, let’s get moving now. “Now we’ll have to break into Valhalla.”
“First, we have gathered all the personnel who will participate in this operation at the main building.”
After hearing the man’s words, John nodded, opened the door to the hideout, and walked toward the main building.
and.
“…Tsk”
Alchemist John couldn’t help but frown as he looked at the view from the main building.
In the main building he saw, there were not hundreds of people standing with him to carry out this operation.
“….”
Only the cold corpses of hundreds of people were lying here and there like trash in the main building.
“What…what is this!?”
When John stopped walking like that, the man following him immediately looked ahead with a feeling of doubt and opened his mouth in surprise.
At the same time.
Phew!
“Keek…!?”
“!”
A dagger was stuck in the throat of the man who was letting out a cry of astonishment.
Needless to say, at any moment.
The dagger was just stuck in place in an instant.
John frowned as he looked at his subordinate who died so absurdly behind him.
Soon John realized that there were four people standing in front of him.
And-
“Now then, I’ll give you a choice.”
A man wearing a mask.
“Do you want to die quietly for us? Or do you want to be brutally slaughtered by our Constellation?”
-I opened my mouth.
