The Constellations Are My Disciples - Chapter 98
◈ Episode 98. Ghoul of the World War (1)
A deserted island whose location is not properly specified.
It was originally the hideout of ‘Tiara’, one of the most well-known evil groups.
however.
“what? Is Hong Gui already dead?”
“You should be careful about being an asshole, but what kind of shame is it to die as soon as you get a name for yourself?”
The place was originally used as Tiara’s hideout.
“So when do the kids get together?”
“I don’t know, but since I sent my resignation, everyone will come together.”
It was now a gathering place for constellations that had regained their ‘name’.
A monster whose entire body was dyed blue opened its mouth as it looked at a place where a few people had not yet gathered.
“Well, 10 people are quite a group.”
“That’s right.”
The person who answered the blue-stained monster’s words was a man with red eyes.
The only other thing that was unusual about it was that it had a black horn on top of its head, he said with a grin.
“But are there still many people to gather?”
“of course. “In the first place, there are over 50 people who got their names back.”
“Hong Gui, that bastard is such an asshole, waiting for 300 boring years and then searching for it in such a ridiculous way.”
“I admit it, it was a situation that could have been fun, but to die like that.”
“But they give out quite a few names. “I think there are about 50 to 60 people at a time, right?”
“I guess that’s how the ‘above’ side judged this world. “Can’t we just not worry about that and just do what we planned 300 years ago?”
“Dying while having fun destroying things?”
“Okay, if I die here in the first place, I’ll come back to life anyway, right? “Because even if you die in the ‘Labyrinth,’ your name will not disappear.”
“That’s right.”
“If you think about it, Hong Gui seems more like an asshole. “This guy played with contractors for 300 years, endured boredom, and ended up going up again without being able to do anything.”
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to tease him to his heart’s content when he goes up.”
“That’s right.”
The two laughed while chatting like that and then continued talking –
“…Huh?”
“why?”
-Soon it stopped with the questioning voice of a man with black horns.
“why?”
“No, the others said they would all gather here, but only one person did not contact me.”
“who?”
“Hwacha (fire car)”
“Hwacha…? Oh, you mean that necrophilia necrophilia?”
“Oh, you’re talking about that psycho bastard.”
“Is that bastard going to run amok and run away like Hong Gui?”
“I asked first, but I didn’t get an answer.”
When the blue-skinned monster opened his mouth, the black-horned man shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“I don’t know. But if that guy goes on a rampage, like a necrophiliac, he will bring corpses to life to play with, so he won’t die in an absurd way like Hong Gui.”
“Because you’re such a gloomy bastard.”
“Anyway, let’s not worry about those who won’t come here, we can just enjoy killing them in our own way anyway.”
“ah.”
“Why again?”
At the monster’s question, the man with horns seemed to pause for a moment and then laughed.
“No, I got a call from a freight car.”
“What are you saying?”
“He says he’s going to go to a world competition or something? “I’m going to have fun there.”
He soon said that.

Another day later.
[Choi A-rin: I won first place in this survival competition!]
[Kim Joo-hyuk: ㅇㅋ]
[Choi A-rin: (Isn’t there a cute bunny? Emoticon tilting its head)]
[Kim Joo-hyuk: ?]
[Choi A-rin: (Aren’t there any cute bunnies? Emoticon ‘tilting’ head)]
[Kim Joo-hyuk: ?]
[Choi A-rin: (emoticon of a cute rabbit making a subtle frown)]
[Haa, in such cases, it is polite to say ‘Good job.’]
Kim Joo-hyuk He frowned and asked when Barce confirmed that he was sending a message.
“No, these days, you’ve been giving advice whenever you send a message?”
[Isn’t it because you don’t give the answer even though you pretend to have the answer you want?]
“From what you can see, where on earth is written the answer that Choi A-rin wants to receive?”
[I can’t believe you didn’t know even though you sent a direct message. As expected, humanity is paid in proportion to strength-]
“I’m slowly climbing the ladder these days. Would you like to see my face in the world of images again?”
[Dedet.]
Seeing Barce immediately frown at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue and immediately sent a message.
[Kim Joo-hyuk: Good job.]
[Choi A-rin: (cute bunny saying ‘Wow!’ emoticon)]
[Choi A-rin: (cute bunny saying ‘shy’ emoticon)] [
Choi A-rin: I’ll work harder!]
[Kim Joo-hyuk : ㅇㅋ]
Kim Joo-hyuk turned off his smartphone after seeing Choi A-rin’s message.
Barce said to him:
[Look, don’t you like it when I say ‘good job’?]
“So?”
[…Well, what I’m saying is, why don’t you praise your kids more often?]
“Why?”
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk also was aware of the importance of praise to some extent.
That’s because Kim Joo-hyuk also knows that praise can be a driving force to some extent in the first place.
but.
‘Well, even in situations like this…’
Kim Joo-hyuk was not the type to praise his students a lot when he brought them in and raised them.
It’s not because Kim Joo-hyuk is sparing in praise, but because his standard of praise is that he only praises things that he thinks are good enough.
Yes.
Kim Joo-hyuk was a bit stingy with the frequency of his compliments because he only gave them based on his own standards rather than looking at them from the world’s universal standards.
Of course, even so, Kim Joo-hyuk did not think that his attitude was bad.
“Seeing as my students are growing up well, I guess it doesn’t really matter, right?”
[Ah…]
Barce silences for a moment in response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s answer.
He seemed to think about something for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[Well… your disciples are all strong. Even though I wasn’t on the top floor when I entered the Tower of Destruction, I was watching it the whole time, so I confirmed it.]
“Of course. “Whose disciples are they?”
[…and your other parts are also very similar.]
“Which part?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Barce opened his mouth and said, ‘The personality part-‘ without realizing it, but swallowed the words.
At least Kim Joo-hyuk may not know, but Barche remembered the time when other hunters along with his disciples, including Kim Joo-hyuk, climbed the Tower of Destruction.
and.
‘…I saw things that Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t see.’
Barce saw what was happening behind Kim Joo-hyuk when he was ahead.
The sight of the disciples ruthlessly tearing to death the group of people who secretly tried to stab Kim Joo-hyuk in the back.
Is that it?
Barche remembered all the extraordinary acts that Kim Joo-hyuk’s disciples showed as they followed him and led the hunters up there.
No, it was strange that I didn’t remember it.
‘It’s like…’
It was something that made you think he was a fanatic rather than a disciple.
[…just various things?]
However, Barche did not necessarily tell the truth.
If I had to say it, I didn’t think anything good would happen to me.
“okay? Well, they say that a teacher and a student are basically a little alike.”
[That’s true.]
‘In the case of Kim Joo-hyuk’s students, it feels like their minds are slightly off, including their personality.’
Of course, this time too, Barce did not dare open his mouth.
The reason was, even if I had to say it, I didn’t think anything good would happen to me.
How much did Kim Joo-hyuk and Barce talk like that?
Sigh-!
Kim Joo-hyuk soon turned his gaze without realizing it when he heard the sound of the training room door opening.
“Adelia Bentrick?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, Kim Joo-hyuk.”
He was soon able to spot Adelia Bentrick, who had suddenly appeared here.
A very unexpected appearance.
“Why are you here?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk asked, Adelia Bentrick was about to open her mouth –
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! Shout!]
[Master, with a very lively face! I shout!]
“As soon as the Constellation woke up, he said he wanted to go see Kim Joo-hyuk, so I came right away without even having time to contact him first.”
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as numerous notifications popped up in front of him at the same time as Adelia Bentrick spoke.
“Oh, you finally woke up?”
[The beak mask shakes its head up and down loudly, asking, “Are you worried?” He says.]
“Well, I knew he would wake up, but I was a little worried because he felt like he had been lying down for a while.”
[Master, with a very touched face, as if the beak mask was very happy…! It’s chanting!]
[Buri Mask moves its face left and right as if it is strangely embarrassed.]
After that, Buriga Mask popped up several notification windows as if it was very impressed, and soon opened another notification window.
[Buri Mask asks if you can come into the image world for a moment!]
“Oh, the image world? “Okay, well-”
When I thought about it, I had only met her in person, not in the world of images, so I nodded lightly to see her face for the first time in a while.
At that moment-
“Kim Joo-hyuk?”
A very polite but urgent voice came from next to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Black Cat?”
A black cat suddenly appeared in a black space.
As if he had come out in a hurry, he forcibly adjusted his crooked mask and lowered his head. Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and asked.
“Why are you suddenly jumping out?”
“Well, the Constellation suddenly captured Kim Joo-hyuk on CCTV!”
Black Cat suddenly made a strange sound as if he had bitten his tongue and spoke with Kim Joo-hyuk breaking into a cold sweat that was visible.
“…That’s not it, you said you wanted to see Master for the first time in a while, so I came to visit you like this.”
Black Cat said that and turned her gaze to look at Adelia Bentrick, who was inside the training center.
“….”
Adelia Ventrick also looked at the Black Cat.
Even though they made eye contact, they were looking at each other with a very subtle gaze.
As Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the gazes of the two, it seemed as if their gazes were subtly moving, probably sending out notifications from his students.
Kim Joo-hyuk looked at those two.
After some time has passed.
“…What?”
Looking at the two who continued to remain silent, Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head as if it was strange.
