“By the way, where are you going?”
“Isn’t this the direction back to school?”
I nodded to Ha-rin Kang and Tae-hoon Ji’s questions.
“We are not going back to school.”
“why?!”
“It’s not safe there anymore.”
If I take the beastmen back, they will definitely prevent me from forming a death squad in some way.
A declaration of war has already been declared. My top priority will be to organize a death squad.
In order to do that, rather than returning to Awakening High School, it was better to head to the place where the elves where Dabin Hwang and Selina were already.
“What place is safer than school at this point?”
At Harin Kang’s words, I began to wonder whether I should tell these guys the truth.
“If Siwoo says it’s not safe, isn’t there a good reason?”
At that time, Yoo Ah-ram said.
At those words, Ji Tae-hoon turned to Kang Ha-rin and said.
“So you’re asking me to tell you why it’s dangerous.”
“Well, they fight among themselves, so why do they fight to the death?”
When Ruid muttered after seeing what we were doing, I turned to Kang Ha-rin, Ji Tae-hoon, and Yoo Ah-ram.
I definitely felt like it was time to let them know.
If I take a different path, it will be the happiness of each character.
Before I knew it, I was coming to a conclusion about the perfect ending that readers wanted.
happy ending.
The story ends with the main characters of ‘Ise’, including me, being really happy.
That would be the true ending that readers of ‘The World After the Apocalypse’ want.
In order to do so, there was a need to respect each person’s choice.
After making my decision, I opened my mouth.
“I’ll let you know. Instead, after I finish talking, you have to make a choice.”
“what?”
“Are you going to come with me, or are you going back to Awakening High School?”
Kang Ha-rin and Ji Tae-hoon looked at each other at the sudden declaration.
“I will follow Si-woo no matter what he says.”
Yoo Ah-ram stood behind me, and Ji Tae-hoon and Kang Ha-rin nodded with firm expressions.
“Can I choose too?”
“You have no choice.”
After lightly chewing on Ruid’s words, I told Kang Ha-rin and Ji Tae-hoon about what the Seven Heroes had done to my father.
“that… … .”
“That’s a lie, right?”
Kang Ha-rin looked at me with disbelief.
You won’t believe it.
The fact that his father, who was supposed to be good, did something like that.
“I’m sorry, but it’s true. “Where did I get the idea for the death squad?”
“Wait a minute, Lee Si-woo, didn’t you say you told the seven heroes about the death squad?”
“That’s right.”
“Why did you do it?”
“It was a declaration of war. Tell me to relax. I know everything. I said that if you stay like this, I will strangle you. “They’re probably worried that I’m actually going to organize a death squad.”
It was a valid statement. Ji Tae-hoon and Kang Ha-rin remained silent at my words, which they could not refute.
“I’ll give you time to think. Think carefully before you arrive. “Will you believe in my words and continue to walk with me in the future, or will you believe in the words of the Seven Heroes?”
Having said that, we moved in silence and moved to the place where the World Tree, the home of the elves, was planted.
9.
“You’re Lee Si-hyeon’s son? From Choi Kang’s daughter to Lee Si-hyeon’s son, so much time has passed.”
Dabin Hwang looked forward to what High Elf Leaf would say next.
“I don’t want to agree with the idea of creating a death squad again, but if it’s Lee Si-hyeon’s son… … . “I’d like to hear your story.”
Leaf’s response was that he wanted to meet Lee Si-woo sometime.
Dabin Hwang internally cheered at High Elf Leaf’s words.
That was all she had to do.
All that was left was left to Lee Si-woo.
The moment Hwang Da-bin thought so.
-Psyukpyuk!!!
Goldie started crying.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“came.”
“huh? “Who?”
Dabin Hwang said after seeing Goldie’s reaction.
“Leef. I think Siwoo has arrived outside. “Can you go and get him?”
“is it so? Allen, please.”
“all right.”
***
“Have you thought about it?”
When I arrived at the place where I could see the World Tree, I looked back at Ha-rin Kang and Tae-hoon Ji.

The two did not answer my question but asked a counter question.
“Before I answer your question, I have a question. Seven people who will enter the final gate. Are we included in that?”
I shook my head at Kang Ha-rin’s question.
“I haven’t decided yet. “It’s foolish to decide who gets in when we haven’t even gotten the keys yet.”
Since what I said was correct, the two of them could not say anything.
Now it was truly a moment of choice.
“Whew. okay. I’m going to die with you or something. “I want to try that.”
Ji Tae-hoon turned to Kang Ha-rin after hearing Ha-rin Kang’s remarks.
“I’m sick of being held captive by my mom and dad now. “I will live my life doing what I want to do.”
I grinned at those words.
“good choice. Ji Tae-hoon, what about you?”
“Ha, the trainer says he’s going, but what if the summoner doesn’t come along? I’ll stick to you. Instead, you must clear the final gate for the sake of us who chose you.”
I nodded when I saw Ji Tae-hoon caring more about Kang Ha-rin’s well-being than his own.
In this episode, we will never let Ji Tae-hoon die.
The moment I thought that, a portal opened in front of the World Tree, and Allen appeared.
Allen spotted us and came towards us.
“hello. “This is how we meet again.”
“Ah yes.”
“The representative of the elves, High Elf, Leaf, wants to meet you inside. Is that okay?”
At those words, I exchanged glances with Yoo Ah-ram.
It seemed like Hwang Da-bin and Selina were successful.
“Oh, yes, of course you can.”
Allen said with a smile.
“Then shall we go?”
The moment Allen spoke, Ruid glanced at Allen.
“I never thought I could meet an elf so quickly.”
Allen, who heard Ruid’s voice, looked at Ruid and realized that Ruid was a beastman.
“How could a prisoner be here…?” … ?”
“Oh, there are some circumstances.”
“You’re really thinking of forming a death squad.”
From Allen’s words, I was able to realize that Dabin Hwang had told the story well to the elves.
The five of us followed Allen to the home of the elves.
Selina, Hwang Da-bin, Ban Hye-jin, and Choi Seol greeted us when we arrived at the site.
“Siwoo!”
“hey! Lee Si-woo!”
“Eh? “Ban Hye-jin and Choi Seol were also there?”
“It just so happened that we came together.”
While we were chatting after a long time, High Elf Leaf, who was watching us, looked at me and said.
“Are you Lee Si-hyeon’s son?”
When I looked at her in response to a question from High Elf Leaf, the representative of the elves, I was surprised to see that she had the appearance of Lee Grass Leaf, which I had seen at Awakening High School.
I looked at her status window and found out that she had possessed the body of Lee Grass Leaf.
‘This is another fact I didn’t know.’
Lee Pulip, who blocked the monster wave, became the representative of the elves. This world was truly a novel full of MacGuffins.
The atmosphere has completely changed. No, I answered the words of the high elf Leaf.
“yes. “I am Si-woo Lee, the son of Si-hyeon Lee, a Buddhist priest.”
In response to my answer, High Elf Leaf looked at me and her eyes sparkled.
“Where is Lee Si-hyeon now?”
I answered those words with a gloomy expression.
“It looks like he was captured by demons.”
“Well… … .”
“To save my father, I need the power of the elves.”
High Elf Leaf looked at Ruid, who was standing blankly next to me.
“It looks like we got the cooperation of the beast people.”
“yes. “I want to organize a death squad again.”
Leaf’s expression darkened at the mention of a death squad.
“At the time, many elves were sacrificed, but when the final gate was sealed, the humans abandoned us.”
“My father was also forced to make sacrifices. Do you think I, knowing that, would kick out this race?”
I looked Leaf straight in the eyes.
High Elf Leaf met my eyes and said.
“great. Since I owe something to Lee Si-hyeon, I’ll try trusting you. Instead, there are conditions.”
“What is it?”
“Please let me enter the final gate too.”
“Leef!”
In response to High Elf Leaf’s declaration, Jake called Leaf.
“Do not worry. “You haven’t heard the answer yet.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to me.
I never thought he would want to enter the final gate.
As I met Leaf’s gaze, I continued to worry internally.
If you bring the elves in, you must also bring the beastmen in.
We also had to bring in Yunmir, who would represent the dragon race, so including me, it was like having four people already chosen.
Faced with a choice, I looked like I couldn’t do anything and said.
“I promise.”
“great. Then the elves also promise support to the humans.”
With this, we were promised support from both races.
To obtain the key, all that remained was Yunmir, a dragon who would now replace the dragon clan.
***
“Mirya.”
“yes.”
“You should never be pushed aside by your strongest student.”
Yoon Ga-on was making a new request to Yoon Mir.
If Lee Si-woo obtained the key and entered the gate, the foundation he had built so far could be shaken.
The one who would be active at the final gate had to be his own son, Yunmir.
“We won’t be pushed back. However, I have no intention of excluding Lee Si-woo.”
“what?”
“Is there anyone else as talented as Lee Si-woo who can enter the final gate?”
Yoon Ga-on was unable to refute Yoon Mir’s words.
Talent was a talent, but he was also the strongest student. The ability to use ‘Descent’, the strongest talent that played the biggest role in the final gate.
In many ways, Lee Si-woo was needed.
Seeing Yoon Ga-on unable to answer, Yoon Mir stood up.
“If you’ve said everything, I’ll stand up. If you are planning something, I recommend not doing it.”
At those words, Gaon Yoon turned around and watched his only son, Mir Yoon, who was leaving.
As his son expected, the hero of the seven was preparing for an unheroic act.
‘Mirya, Mirya. I understand how you feel, but if he lives, you will end up like me. ‘I can’t let it go like that.’
I have lived my whole life being pushed by the strongest.
I don’t know because I’m young now, but if Lee Si-woo loses all control, Yoon Mir will also end up living the same life as him.
Before that happens, Yoon Ga-on planned to use all means and methods to deal with Lee Si-woo.
Yun Mir, who came out, recalled the message Lee Si-woo left for him before leaving.
‘If I leave now, I probably won’t be able to return to Awakening High School, so I’m leaving a message. I’ll probably be the target of the Seven Heroes. If it’s okay, I’d like you to tell me about the situation here.’
In fact, there was no reason for Yoon Mir to listen to Lee Si-woo’s message.
Because he was not Lee Si-woo’s subordinate.
However, Yunmir changed his mind after seeing the phrase in the last line.
‘Please, buddy.’
Between friends, it was a request that could easily be granted.
