One.
People despaired at the news that gates had opened all over the world and monsters had reappeared.
People who remembered the time when the world was destroyed hoped that the Seven Heroes would come forward once again.
Since they had prevented destruction once, they thought that the seven guilds would be able to prevent it again.
“Aaaah!”
“It’s a monster!!”
“Run away!!”
But the wish did not come true.
A wyvern appeared in the middle of the city and began to run rampant.
It was only a monster, but to non-awakened people, a monster was nothing more than a fearful entity.
“What on earth are the awakened ones doing?!”
-Quaaaah!!
Quang!
Buildings collapsed, and people were busy running away.
“Oh, no!!”
The moment when a person running away is about to be crushed by the rubble of a collapsing building.
Paaa-!
A spear flew out and threw away the remains of the building.
“Are you okay?”
“Thank you.”
“He is an awakened person!!”
“Quickly, do something about that monster!!”
Tae Ji-hyuk quickly moved his body at the people’s complaints.
A wyvern was seen rampaging in the sky, and Tae Ji-hyuk threw the javelin once again.
Phew!
-Quaaaah!!
The wyvern was killed by a spear that hit its body exactly, and it fell to the center of the city.
Tae Ji-hyuk moved his feet and ran under the falling wyvern before any further damage occurred.
This time, he took out the spear he had on his back and swung it dozens of times at the falling wyvern.
The wyvern that was falling to the ground was cut into hundreds of pieces by Tae Ji-hyuk’s spear and turned into a piece of meat.
Tae Ji-hyuk, who had put away his spear, looked around.
There were citizens with surprised expressions, and others with angry expressions.
“Why did you come now!”
“It almost got into big trouble!!”
“If you’re an awakened person, don’t you have to protect ordinary people from monsters?!”
“What are the heroes doing!!”
Tae Ji-hyuk bit his lip in response to the reaction of the citizens who were hostile to the enemy.
“sorry. “We will make sure this does not happen in the future.”
“If you are an awakened person, be an awakened person… … .”
Tae Ji-hyuk felt like he wouldn’t be able to hear good things if he stayed here any longer, so he left.
2.
“Well, I… It’s not enough to say thank you for protecting me… … .”
“You saw it, right? “Currently, public opinion toward awakened people is the worst.”
We looked at the video in the hologram with serious expressions after hearing what Teacher Jang Yeon-soo said.
After defeating the demon Tempest, we all returned to Awakening High School.
As you can see, the reason I didn’t go to the seven guilds was because public opinion about the seven guilds was not good.
A space was needed to gather together to discuss meetings and future plans, and the Seven Heroes chose Awakening High School as that space.
I sat down, watched the video, and looked at Teacher Jang Yeon-soo.
Teacher Jang Yeon-soo, who was a strategist for the Swordsman Guild in the past, temporarily gave up his position as a teacher and returned to being a strategist.
“First of all, we need a plan to calm the boiling public opinion.”
“What plan did you have in mind?”
After hearing Geomsin and Ban Isu’s words, teacher Jang Yeonsu turned to Jeong Juwon who was next to her.
“First of all, we need the cooperation of people here to stabilize public sentiment.”
As Jeong Ju-won said, I took a quick look at the people sitting here.
All seven heroes were gathered here.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since we’ve been together like this.”
Ga-on Yoon made a displeased look at Claire’s muttering.
“So if you had rooted out the Rebellions, something like this wouldn’t have happened, right?”
“There are kids too, keep your voice down.”
Hearing Ban Isu’s words, Yoon Gaon turned around.
“I was already curious. “Why are the kids together at such an important event?”
“I will tell you that.”
It was Principal Won Tae-jin who came forward in response to Yoon Ga-on’s words.
“You all know, right? “The seven heroes cannot challenge the final gate again.”
Yoon Ga-on closed his mouth at the principal’s words.
“I believe that the children here are the ones who can prevent a second apocalypse.”
“So, are we now going to bet the fate of the world on these kids?”
Yoo Da-hee, who had been quiet at Yoon Ga-on’s words, opened her mouth.

“They’re kids. But they’re not just kids, right? “I understand that your son is among the kids here?”
At those words, Gaon Yoon looked back at Mir Yoon, who was sitting quietly behind him.
“… “Do you really think they can clear the final gate?”
“I think it could be possible if we teach those kids.”
It was Choi Kang who answered Yoon Ga-on’s words.
“Teaching?”
“okay. Just as you taught my son, we have students here. “Lee Si-woo.”
“yes.”
I stood before the seven heroes at the call of the strongest.
“He is my disciple. “I think this guy can be as strong as I was in my old days.”
“… As much as you were in your past?”
Choi Kang shook his head at the distrustful gaze of Yoon Ga-on.
I took a deep breath and called Yoo Ah-ram.
“Aram.”
“… huh.”
“Play it.”
“okay.”
At my words, Yoo Ah-ram displayed an image on the hologram.
Then, videos of me fighting against demons began to appear.
The moment Tempest’s black sphere was about to attack me, Yoon Ga-on’s eyebrows twitched as he saw me summon Kang Moo-seong’s shield.
“… what? Choi Kang, he said he was your student. “But why is that guy holding the shield of Museong?”
“Because that’s my talent.”
“what?”
“I can use other people’s talents as if they were my own.”
The expressions of the seven heroes hardened at my words.
3.
When selecting the seven people who could challenge the final gate, I already knew from two experiences who had the strongest say.
In the first round, seven heroes selected a list of people who would challenge the final gate.
People respected their opinions as they were called heroes, and the main characters of Part 2 entered the final gate and once again prevented apocalypse.
Of course, this was possible because at that time, the main characters of Part 2, who would enter the final gate, were performing various activities.
‘It wasn’t the ending the readers wanted, though.’
It was the second time again, and as I, who showed off my talent, took the lead, their right to speak diminished.
Because, in the second round, the team was created around me.
I was planning to create a team centered around me this time too.
‘I don’t know if it will work because nothing was achieved in this episode… … .’
We had to break even.
“The proof is that I used hero Kang Moo-seong’s shield.”
“… Strongest?”
Yoo Da-hee asked Choi Kang if he didn’t believe me.
“It’s true.”
At the strongest answer, the seven heroes looked at each other.
There was silence.
What broke the silence was the lecture fee.
“It was a bit strange being F-ranked, but I can understand why you became the strongest student. Well, okay. I think that’s still better than other awakened people. But, you can’t just trust that guy, right?”
“I agree with what Kang Yeon-geum said. “Don’t you remember what happened back then?”
At the words of Ban Hye-jin’s father, Ban I-su, the Seven Heroes became quiet again.
It was like reminiscing about the past.
I don’t know much about what happened in the past. This is because the contents of Part 1 of ‘ISE’ were not well described.
“I think the heroes have a misunderstanding, but I’m not asking you to decide right now.”
Principal Won Tae-jin, who was worse off, stepped forward.
“It’s important to decide on seven people, but isn’t there something more important than that right now?”
After hearing Principal Won Tae-jin’s words, everyone turned to look at the principal.
“Anyway, if you don’t have the key, even if you select seven people, you won’t be able to get in, right? So I think it’s important to find the key first.”
Choi Kang answered those words.
“No, I have work to do before that.”
“What is it?”
“We need to start by punishing the people who made things like this.”
The culprit that made things like this. Rebellions.
The strongest words were that they would soon go to war with the Rebellions.
4.
Meanwhile, Rebellions had also summoned all branch leaders.
Rebellions 1st branch.
Cheol-ho Choi, the first branch leader, looked happy to see the heads of other branches after a long time.
“It’s been a while, everyone.”
“In the time I haven’t seen you, the number of people has gone from seven to five.”
Choi Cheol-ho laughed and said at the words of the 5th branch leader.
“Thanks to the sacrifices of the 6th and 7th branches, the demon god has awakened.”
“Hmph, that was a good thing.”
“Anyway, it’s going according to plan.”
“okay. “Public sentiment toward the seven guilds is very shitty.”
“What do you plan to do now?”
Choi Cheol-ho spoke in response to the words of the 2nd branch leader.
“I told them to row when the water comes in. “Now is the best opportunity to hit the seven guilds.”
“no way… … .”
“Now it is the turn of our Rebellions, not the seven guilds, to rule the world.”
The 4th branch director asked after Choi Cheol-ho’s words.
“Are we going to war?”
“War is war, but you have to work behind the scenes.”
“what?”
“Free the kids and save the non-awakened people who are threatened by monsters. And spread the word that Rebellions saved them.”
Public opinion and external attacks.
The seven guilds will have to deal with two enemies simultaneously.
“Let me ask you one last question. “Is that your will, or is it ‘His’ will?”
When the 3rd branch leader mentioned ‘him’, everyone’s expressions hardened.
Each of them became lost in thought as they remembered ‘the person’ who appeared at some point and unified the Rebellions.
Choi Cheol-ho had a smile on his face as he heard the words of the 3rd branch leader.
“When have I ever expressed a dogmatic opinion? “Everything is ‘His’ will.”
“Kkkkk, okay. “If it is ‘His’ will, then we must follow it.”
“To completely destroy one guild, three branches will have to step forward.”
Choi Cheol-ho shook his head at the words of the 5th branch leader.
“It is enough for just two branches to step forward.”
“Hmm, we have to think about the case where the enemies also join forces, right?”
“There’s no need to get blood on our hands, right?”
“then?”
“Use the monsters released at the gate. “We have to find the key faster than them anyway.”
The idea was to use the command to kill someone with a sword.
“First, let’s release the monster through the gate and then take control.”
“That’s it.”
“Kkkk, this sounds fun, right?”
“Then what is your first goal?”
“Based on past experience, that should be the first goal.”
Other branch leaders shouted at the same time as Cheol-ho Choi said.
“Resuscitation Guild.”
“It all worked out. Okay, then let’s divide the roles. I think it will be difficult for me to participate in the operation because I have a separate order from him. The 2nd and 3rd branches will work hard to turn public opinion in our favor, and I will leave the handling of the revived guild to the 4th and 5th branches. Are you fine?”
To Choi Cheol-ho’s words, Rebellions’ 4th branch leader, Yoo Jeong-hyeon, and 5th branch leader, Jamie, responded with strange smiles.
“Let’s throw away the smash and come.”
It was the moment when Rebellions’ target was decided.
