The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 96
◈ Episode 96. Don’t mess with the teacher (2)
Logan was staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
The first thing you see is Kim Joo-hyuk standing looking at the mountain while holding a sword.
The next thing I see is –
kugguggukgeuk!!!!
It was a mountain that had been cut down.
The top of the mountain, which was cut so cleanly, sweeps down to the right as if slipping, and soon its shape collapses and crumbles.
Logan stared blankly at that scene without realizing it.
‘why…?’
Soon the thought crossed his mind.
Of course, Logan was able to crush the same mountain that Kim Joo-hyuk showed just moments ago.
The mountain he smashed was actually large enough to be called a small garden rather than a mountain.
Moreover, at that size, even if it wasn’t for him, those who had contracts with some powerful constellations with strong destructive power could do it as a matter of course.
however.
‘…cut down a mountain with a sword?’
Logan felt absurd that a student had just cut down a mountain with a sword and brought it down.
Of course, he is not an ordinary student.
Kim Joo-hyuk.
Looking back at what he had already done, he had already completely moved away from the perspective of being a student.
As soon as he entered Valhalla Academy, he defeated two villains.
I heard that in the school competition, he won the individual match, and in the team match, he single-handedly destroyed all of the Academy’s personnel, and even took care of the Samsal (三殺) that invaded the labyrinth at that time.
What about after that?
He suddenly appeared during a disaster that occurred in Korea and rescued the legitimate son of the Oseon family, and in the process, showed strength that could not be called a student.
The unspeakable power of cutting through waves of charging monsters with a single sword.
In addition, although this time it was not properly spread in the media, Logan knew that he was not an ordinary student because he had even heard the news that he had single-handedly killed the ‘constellation’ that destroyed the Hero Academy.
‘Yes, not an ordinary student…’
Logan was even considering the possibility that Kim Joo-hyuk might be an S-class contractor like himself.
And Logan was convinced once again when he saw the skill Kim Joo-hyuk showed a little while ago.
‘I’m a contractor.’
I don’t know why he was hiding his identity and infiltrating the academy and doing this, but Logan was certain that he was a contractor.
And the thought that maybe Kim Joo-hyuk could be the ‘they’ Logan was looking for.
So, when Logan was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk and thinking about various things.
“oh.”
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the edge of the mountain that had blown away and let out a low exclamation as if it wasn’t that bad.
[I like it quite a bit.]
“At this level, it seems to be quite more efficient than training.”
[is it? From my perspective, it seems like you still have a long way to go to reach your prime.]
“That’s right.”
To be sure, it’s not just that it’s reaching its prime, but it’s hopelessly lacking.
As proof of this, Kim Joo-hyuk felt a strange sense of helplessness just by blowing off the tip of the hill.
However, if you do not think about it compared to its prime, but on the contrary, compared to before absorbing power, the efficiency of the name was not bad.
“If you roughly calculate it… I think it’s been shortened by about 20 to 30 days?”
[Hearing the date like that, it doesn’t seem that bad.]
“It’s sweet.”
To be honest, Kim Joo-hyuk was a little worried while absorbing the name by converting it into energy.
It’s a question of balance.
Basically, Kim Joo-hyuk thought that neither magical power nor body should fall behind one another.
If you lack the body instead of the magic power, the body could actually be damaged by your magic power.
On the other hand, if you lack magical power, you will never be able to maximize your physical efficiency to its limit.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk was worried that an imbalance in ability might occur while absorbing the name.
‘There was no need to worry at all.’
Contrary to Kim Joo-hyuk’s concerns, the name absorbed him and neatly balanced his growth.
And it was so perfect that Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t have to worry about it at all.
“Wow, I’m starting to absorb the name.”
[Is that so?]
“I think we’ll make a lot of progress if we catch just a few dozen kids like him, right?”
Kim Joo-hyuk says that and is checking his physical condition a little more.
“ah.”
Suddenly, I remembered the feeling of popularity I had felt just before swinging the sword, and turned my head back.
[Why are you doing that?]
“Wasn’t someone here earlier? “I think I heard a rumor.”
[I’m sorry, but I can only see where you are looking, so I can’t see around you.]
“It’s really useless.”
[Teen….]
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to check behind him a few times, then shrugged his shoulders again, looked away, and walked back inside the training center.
“I hope my experience points increase…”
I muttered those words with my mouth.
#####
The moment Logan was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk, he realized that the darkness had consumed him.
Before he could react properly.
“Nice to meet you. THE ONE. “Would it be better if I called you Mr. Logan?”
Logan is a masked man sitting at an antique desk. I was able to face the ‘Black Cat’.
“….”
“….”
Silence that comes after the greeting.
Even though the silence was getting longer, Black Cat was still wearing the cat mask and looking at Logan without saying a word.
Looking at the Black Cat, Logan realized that this was the director’s office of Valhalla Academy, which he had visited once, and then looked at the Black Cat sitting at the desk.
Black Cat.
A contractor who is the owner of the market and has the ‘master behind the scenes’ as his constellation.
Originally, this was all he knew of Black Cat’s personal information, but he was not particularly curious about Black Cat.
Anyway, Logan and Black Cat have never clashed and never clashed in the first place.
however.
‘…I didn’t notice at all?’
Logan, who realized that the darkness from earlier was the Black Cat’s ability, relaxed, but was shocked that something had been done ‘by someone else’.
The fact that Logan couldn’t recognize it meant that Black Cat could have killed him if she wanted to.
Therefore, Logan glared at Black Cat, but he was still hiding his expression behind the mask and was just looking at Logan.
Logan, who was staring at him, was about to open his mouth.
“Let me give you some advice.”
“…what?”
Black Cat, who had been silent, opened her mouth.
“Just advice. “Let me give you some advice that could be quite beneficial to you.”
“What is that-”
“Of course I know the circumstances under which you came here. You probably heard the story from your good friend Beck. “The Hero Academy is in danger of being destroyed and killed because of the Constellation, but student Kim Joo-hyuk killed the Constellation.”
“….”
“Huh, honestly, I’m a little disappointed in Mr. Beck. “I’m sure you asked me not to tell anyone, but you told me everything to your close friend.”
“…That guy is suspicious to anyone. No matter how you look at it, that guy made a contract with the Constellation.”
“….”
Black Cat paused for a moment at Logan’s words.
‘Well, it looks like he hasn’t opened his mouth about the ‘contract’ that was renewed.’
Black Cat went directly to Beck and said so.
‘If nothing else, never reveal the ‘contract’ with the ruler behind the scenes.’
In fact, even if the rumor spread that Kim Joo-hyuk had dealt with the constellation that appeared at Hero Academy, it didn’t matter to that extent.
Because Black Cat was able to get rid of all the things that bothered Kim Joo-hyuk with rumors like that.
But what if it turns out that Kim Joo-hyuk used the power of the ‘master behind the scenes’?
Even at this point, he had already built up a good reputation, but the moment that fact was revealed, it was only a matter of time before Kim Joo-hyuk became ‘very’ annoying.
Because the contract with the ‘master behind the scenes’ had that much meaning.
Therefore, Black Cat made a request to Beck about the details of the contract, including some threats, and he seemed to have kept his promise.
I don’t know if the reason he kept his promise was because of Black Cat’s faithfulness, or because of the threats he made while expressing his sincerity.
“….”
So the Black Cat seemed to think about it for a moment and then spoke.
“First of all, let me tell you something: Kim Joo-hyuk is not a member of the ‘blood lions’ you think of.”
“!”
As soon as those words came out of Black Cat’s mouth, Logan’s eyes widened.
The question of how on earth he knew that was about to pop out of Logan’s mouth, but Black Cat did not give him time to speak and continued to open his mouth.
“Also, the reason student Kim Joo-hyuk was able to move there in one go was not because he was a member of the Blood Lion, but because I used my strength.”
“…!”
“I think I’ve told you everything I need to know with this, so let me get back to the point and give you some advice. “Don’t pay any more attention to student Kim Joo-hyuk.”
“…what?”
“Oh, if you don’t understand, let me explain it more clearly. “I’m telling you not to bother student Kim Joo-hyuk in the slightest.”
Logan’s eyes frowned at Black Cat’s words.
Logan has a very fierce expression, as if he is in a very bad mood.
However, Black Cat still continued the story with a calm expression.
“THE ONE. This is advice. You too can feel comfortable. “It’s advice I can feel comfortable with.”
“…What if I don’t listen?”
Logan’s provocation.
However, Black Cat responded to Logan’s provocation.
“If you don’t listen, you will probably die.”
“…Are you saying you’re going to kill me now?”
Logan now frowns more than just glares fiercely, as if his pride has been scratched.
Surely he had never been treated like this before.
The constellation he contracted with was the S-class constellation ‘Destroyer Who Penetrates Everything’.
Because he was the undisputed number one in name and reality who did not give up the title of ‘THE ONE’ for a very long time.
However, Black Cat did not make any special moves even as she saw him already emitting magical power.
instead.
Black Cat opened her mouth and said,
“Of course I can’t kill you.”
“But why-”
“But my Constellation will probably kill you.”
“what?”
Logan still answers with a frown.
However, Black Cat continued talking without stopping.
“And my Constellation says he will tell your Constellation something.”
“What is that-”
Logan tried to open his mouth again.
However, Black Cat opened her mouth again without giving Logan time to open his mouth.
“Keep your head straight and take good care of your contractor. “If your contractor goes further than this, I won’t stay silent then…”
“This bastard is talking bullshit-”
When Logan heard those words, he couldn’t hide his excitement and was about to unleash his power-
[The destroyer who pierces everything asks us to leave without making a fuss.]
“….”
– Logan had no choice but to open his mouth once again as he looked at the notification window that appeared before his eyes.
