Lion Knight -3-
After that, I never raised my head again.
Blood flowing.
A sagging body.
Skin that is turning pale.
The public defenders declared the duel over.
“The duel is over! Kim Jeon-sa, the superman, has won.”
victory!
A low gasp of shock swept through the secret arena.
Everyone on Lee Jae-yeol’s side has an expression of disbelief.
He was staring at O Du-sik and O Du-sik’s corpse with his eyes wide open and his body trembling.
“This is······ This is not······”
“Lies! Lies!”
“The captain said it? The captain?”
An attitude of wanting to deny reality.
But the truth is brutally clear.
On the other side, cheers erupted.
“Wow!”
Seo Woo-jin came running excitedly.
He hugged me so tightly that I couldn’t breathe.
“Human! It hurts!”
“Teacher! As expected, it’s you! I knew you’d win! You’re the best! Woohoo! Look at those teachers’ faces! They’re so pathetic! Puhaha!”
I won, but Seo Woo-jin was the happiest.
They hugged me, lifted me up, danced, it was total chaos.
“teacher!”
Baek So-rin chased after me.
“That was awesome! Wow, how did you do that? I thought you were crazy! Are you really a teacher? Be honest. Are you not a teacher? You’re completely crazy!”
Baek So-rin running around.
Both eyes were filled with awe and admiration.
Other people also approached.
Director Choi applauded loudly.
“Superhuman! I believed in you! Overcoming the level difference! I thought you would win, but this was truly a great match. Superhuman, you will truly go down in the history of superhumans. I will bet this precious vote that you will appear in textbooks in the future!”
“Hahaha. Thank you.”
“Huh, Superman······”
Kim Cheol-kwon is also present.
A slightly complicated expression.
He looks with awe, admiration, and a slightly bitter look in his eyes.
There was a time when I was weaker than Kim Chul-kwon.
But now?
Even if you bring not just Kim Cheol-kwon as an individual, but the entire Cheol-kwon faction, it won’t work for me.
“They are the same level 3, but they are not the same level 3. I truly admire this Kim Cheol-kwon. It is an honor just to know you, Superman.”
“It’s an honor. Didn’t I receive a lot of help from President Kim this time? We help each other out.”
“Honestly, I thought it was reckless. But I didn’t expect you to be so overwhelming······ Whenever you need me, just call me. I’ll put everything else aside and come running.”
The CEO of Jeil Security and his wife, as well as representatives from other companies, sent me their congratulatory messages.
Their eyes were gleaming.
Think about it.
This is level 3 after beating level 4.
It wasn’t a surprise attack, but a head-on confrontation with all forces exposed.
Also, the opponent was a paladin, not an assassin or a sniper.
A paladin who is the strongest among superhumans in terms of sturdiness.
You defeated that knight?
If so, then so be it.
What if you get to level 4 or 5 later?
Or what if you step into the 7th level transcendence?
I can’t imagine.
The representatives patted me on the back.
“Haha, congratulations.”
“As expected, it’s our teacher Kim Jeon-sa. I recognized him from the moment he treated my child.”
“Isn’t overcoming a fever proof of being a hero?”
“Yes, that’s right. Our Master Kim is truly the greatest superhuman of this era.”
“Mr. Kim, is there anything you need? If you need any support, please let me know. I will support you even if it means pulling out the roots of our company.”
Totally festive atmosphere.
On the other hand, the opposite side ended up becoming a portrait house.
“Captain······”
“It’s no use. He’s already dead.”
“How can this be? Someone who survived that hellish social purge is dying here like this?”
“It’s a dream. This is a dream!”
The priests who performed the Odusik tear their hair, beat the ground, and wailed loudly.

The most out of it is Lee Jae-yeol.
He’s just been standing there blankly with his face turned pale since a while ago.
Then suddenly a light came into my eyes.
“you!”
Lee Jae-yeol runs towards me holding a hammer.
“This kid?”
Seo Woo-jin reacted quickly.
He throws his fist without even drawing his sword.
A mass of magical power emitted from the fist struck Lee Jae-yeol.
“Ugh!”
Lee Jae-yeol fell down and vomited blood.
Our notary public shouted in a stern voice.
“You won’t accept the result of the duel? Don’t forget your magic oath! If you act rashly, the oath will burst the heart of the Templar!”
Lee Jae-yeol puts his hand on his chest and distorts his face.
He glares at me venomously.
There was a murderous intent in his crumpled eyes like a dagger.
“You! Because of you!”
“What am I?”
“The captain died because of you! Because of you!”
A voice that cries out desperately, as if spitting out blood.
The other knights also raised their heads.
He looks at me as if he had made a promise.
In each pupil, resentment, anger, and hatred crisscrossed like a cross.
“joy.”
I just farted once.
They say the one who farts gets angry, and this is exactly the case.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t kill Odu-sik.”
“What the hell are you talking about!”
“Lee Jae-yeol.”
He walked with a limp.
Slowly, towards Lee Jae-yeol.
I’m completely out of both magic and stamina.
I feel like I might collapse at any moment, but I walk unsteadily.
Seo Woo-jin and Baek So-rin followed me.
Each of them holding the sword at their waist tightly.
Finally, he reached Jae-yeol Lee.
“What, what is it!”
Lee Jae-yeol steps back.
Ugly, waiting on the floor.
My anger at O Du-sik’s death was short-lived.
Now, fear was on Lee Jae-yeol’s face.
He felt a deep fear of me, who could not even swing a sword.
This is the nature of the human being named Lee Jae-yeol.
The truth hidden behind his identity as the second son of an affiliate of the Seungcheon Group and a member of his father’s old religious order, the Holy Knights.
I stood up straight and looked down at Lee Jae-yeol.
And he spoke as if he were pronouncing a sentence.
“You killed Oh Du-sik.”
“gibberish!”
“Isn’t that so?”
Keep an eye on Lee Jae-yeol.
With eyes that sparkle like glass beads.
Spreading a vicious murderous spirit.
Odusik was my enemy.
But even a brief meeting could tell.
Even though he is a fanatic, he is a person of great character.
The fact that he was too precious to die like this.
That makes me even angrier.
Because of this kind of idiot, O Du-sik had to die.
“What if you hadn’t sent an assassin to me? Would Odu-sik still be dead?”
“That, that has nothing to do with it!”
“If the truth had come out and you had apologized to me, would Oh Du-sik have died even if the duel hadn’t happened? Or would he have lived on? Lee Jae-yeol! You were the one who killed Oh Du-sik. Oh Du-sik died because of your mistake!”
Lee Jae-yeol’s eyes waver.
Other knights came walking slowly.
He grabs Jae-yeol Lee’s shoulder and lifts him up, then gives me a hostile look.
“Stop it. This is nonsense.”
“Is this really sophistry?”
“No matter who started it or how it happened, it was your sword that stabbed the captain’s heart. We, the church, will not forget today.”
“You tried to kill me first, but now I lost the duel and died, so you’re saying it’s all my fault? You’re a great robber. If you try to kill me, should I just die quietly?”
“Do you dare insult your old father!”
“I’m not insulting you, it’s the truth. Don’t you know the facts? Facts? And I’m not pointing out your god, I’m pointing out your actions. Why is your god here? If you don’t want to insult your god, you should just act properly.”
Does it hurt when you get hit with facts?
They’re like a bunch of robbers.
The Templars breathe fire from their eyes.
The moment the veins in his neck stood out and he was about to reach for the hammer on his waist.
Notary public attorneys intervened.
“Please stop. The duel is over and Superman Kim has won. Do you intend to break your magic oath?”
“Ugh.”
Lee Jae-yeol clutched his heart.
The magic oath is in effect at the moment my victory is declared.
If the Templars can’t stand the quarters and attack me, the magic will activate immediately.
My heart will burst and Lee Jae-yeol will die.
“Damn it!”
“f*ck!”
We can’t let Lee Jae-yeol die.
The knights ground their teeth and shook their hands.
Looking at this makes me wonder if I should have just let Lee Jae-yeol attack me earlier.
From Seo Woo-jin’s perspective, he couldn’t just sit still.
He’s not the kind of guy who is so cold-blooded that he takes action after considering all the circumstances.
The notary public reminded them of the terms of the oath.
“According to the dueling agreement, you, the Holy Knight, must deliver a handwritten apology and 1 billion won in compensation to Kim Jeon-sa Superman within 24 hours. The contents of the apology will be analyzed by the Magic Science AI, and if it is determined that the contents are not correct, you must rewrite it within 24 hours. Please write it with sincerity so that no unpleasant incident occurs.”
“······Yes, that’s right.”
“I hereby declare that the duel between Superhuman Kim Jeon-sa and Holy Warrior Lee Jae-yeol has ended with Superhuman Kim Jeon-sa’s victory.”
The knights retreated with miserable expressions on their faces.
A five-headed man covered with white cloth.
It’s stained with blood.
But was it my imagination that her face with her eyes closed looked strangely comfortable?
After Lee Jae-yeol and his group completely left the arena.
I finally relaxed and collapsed.
“Coolook!”
“teacher!”
“Superman! Are you okay?”
People running around in surprise.
I waved my hands while lying down.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m just a little dizzy.”
“Teacher, please eat this.”
“Huh? Oh, thanks.”
What Seo Woo-jin gave me was a top-grade healing potion.
It was a very expensive item, but I accepted it without hesitation.
I opened the lid and drank, and a warm and soft feeling spread throughout my body.
Injuries that heal quickly.
Broken bones heal on their own and blood regenerates.
My hazy mind became clearer and the pain disappeared as if it had been washed away.
“Thank you. I’ll definitely pay you back later.”
“No. I’m glad the teacher wasn’t seriously hurt.”
But I’m still dizzy.
It was because the duration of the leap was cut off and too much magic power was consumed in the duel.
How much more so, since even a part of the magic circuit was sacrificed.
Instead, I got something in return.
[Shield Slam] obtained by clashing shields dozens or hundreds of times.
And after fighting with all my body’s fighting spirit, [Fighting Spirit] was released.
He also wiggled his right hand.
Leather gloves that still suck my blood.
It’s not needed anymore.
Because it was completely embodied in the duel just now.
[Strong] Since it has the trait, it would be better to take it off and sell it.
I staggered to my feet and bowed to the others.
“Thank you all for your hard work. Thanks to you all, I was able to win.”
“The teacher is amazing. I just gave him a little push.”
“You’re really amazing! You overcame the level difference!”
“It’s a shame it wasn’t a public duel. It would have been on the front page of the newspaper, the first headline of the news.”
“Oh, I don’t like that. I want to live quietly.”
“Haha, Superman. For someone like you, aren’t you living a bit too boldly?”
“There’s nothing I can do since people around me won’t leave me alone.”
“It’s like an awl in a pocket. It’s natural for it to come out. Everyone who knows about this will know about it even if it’s not on the news.”
“It’s terrifying to even imagine.”
Seo Woo-jin and Baek So-rin asked to have an after-party, but he refused.
I really thought I was going to die.
We parted ways, promising to meet again later.
I also got a ride home from Director Choi.
My longed-for home.
As soon as I got into the Magic Spring bath, I fell into a deep sleep.
***
While Kim Jeonsa was sleeping.
Some rumors spread little by little.
In the back alley.
“Is that true?”
“That’s right!”
“No, how can a level 3 beat a level 4?”
“It’s him! The one who single-handedly swept away the Janitors’ Association! He can definitely do it! Yes!”
By phone call.
[Wow, that’s really amazing. Your growth is amazing. As for that superhuman, didn’t it just recently become superhuman?]
[Yes, it hasn’t even been two months.]
[I defeated a high-level paladin in two months… I’m glad I remembered that. You should keep an eye out for that too.]
[Yes, sir.]
At the bar.
“Do you know what the sect’s kids did after that paladin died? They were completely discouraged and fled!”
“Wow! Soju is sweet, sweet!”
“Look at those religious bastards!”
“Cheers to the enemies of the church and the great warriors!”
“Cheers!”
A post is uploaded to the Internet.
[Isn’t this a fabrication?]
[A notice has been posted in the temple. The funeral will be held the day after tomorrow, so those who wish to pay their respects should do so by tomorrow.]
[Wow, shit.]
[Crazy. Really?]
[I’ve heard of the name Lion Knight Odusik… Did you defeat someone like that?]
[Overcoming baptism and defeating the knight. At this point, isn’t it a complete cult?]
[ㅋㅋㅋ This is really a class resemblance.]
It was also mentioned in gatherings of high-ranking officials.
“These days, young people are very energetic.”
“Have you heard?”
“Of course. Isn’t this the first dark horse to appear in a while?”
“How high should we go?”
“He is a person who has overcome fever. Even if he can’t do it, he will at least be able to reach level 7.”
“I don’t know. Aren’t determination and potential separate things?”
“Hmm······Should I catch it and measure its potential?”
“Oh, don’t be greedy. Someone has already slept with you.”
“Tsk tsk. That guy is so greedy······”
Kim Jeonsa didn’t know.
What kind of words are circulating around you?
What’s going on.
Kim Jeon-sa spent several days in a deep sleep, as if he had passed out.
The activity began a few days later.
[Superhuman! The magic armor is complete!]
It was after I received a call from Director Choi.
