Transcension Academy Chapter 122

Episode 122 – Purpose?

Seo-joon took Young-seong and went straight out of the building.

And the presence of darkness that can be felt following Seo-jun.

“Where are you going like that?”

However, spirituality did not seem to sense any signs of ignorance.

Instead of answering, Seo-jun silently moved.

Just like that, a corner of the Dream Team building.

It was only when he reached a deserted place that Seo-jun stopped.

That moment.

Squeak.

“Fortunately, you’re alive, Young-seong.”

Suddenly, the empty space cracked open, and the dark castle trudged out through it.

“… the ignorance?”

Young-seong opened his eyes in surprise at the sudden appearance of darkness.

As expected, it seemed that spirituality did not feel the signs of ignorance.

Seeing such spirituality, Amseong looked at Seojun with new eyes.

“Seeing things like this, there doesn’t seem to be a problem with stealth… I don’t know how he can recognize that guy.”

“for a moment. Are you saying this child sensed your presence? Didn’t you tell me?”

At the question of Young Sung, Amseong nodded slightly and said,

“For some reason, that guy saw through my stealth. Even the Apostle of Temperance wouldn’t have recognized it.”

Then, the gazes of spirituality and ignorance turned toward Seo-joon at the same time.

It’s like, ‘Well, there are all these guys.’ The expression of two people who want to.

“Haha… I just felt something.”

Seo-joon only laughed awkwardly.

Seeing Seo-jun like that, the two of them looked even more energetic.

But what would the truth be like?

Youngseong shook his head and asked towards the dark castle.

“More than that, ignorance. They say that your disciple is here, but is it really true?”

“okay. He is lacking in many ways, but he seems to be doing well.”

“Huh…”

Spirituality shed an exclamation involuntarily.

Although Seo-joon said something, it was because he wanted to.

But when the person in question said that, I couldn’t believe it.

Spirituality spoke again to ignorance.

“I heard that a demonic disciple is also here?”

“I found out about that later. They said they hired another person besides Jimin.”

And it is a known fact that Seoyoon is the granddaughter of the swordsman.

In a word, it was a guild with descendants of the heroes of Cataclysm as guild members.

What kind of guild in the world would have descendants of heroes as guild members?

No, could such a guild exist in the first place?

It is also true that guilds that have descendants of heroes as guild members are bound to be pressured by the hero in some way.

It’s only natural that you care about your descendants.

Naturally, there was no choice but to interfere with the guild.

The question is, who would dare to complain about the meddling against the cataclysmic hero?

Naturally, there was no choice but to be swayed by the hero, and the guild would collapse in an instant.

In this way, even one descendant of a hero had to see that there was no guild that could endure.

So, to be precise, it is not that such a guild cannot exist.

It would be accurate to say that there is no one who can bear and embrace the pressure of the heroes.

By the way, the sword star, the dark star, and the demon star.

It also withstands the pressure against not one but three heroes?

The eyes of the two heroes turned to Seojun again.

“Uh… Why, why are you doing that all of a sudden?”

A guild with descendants of the heroes of Cataclysm as guild members.

A guild whose master is the Irregular, which is impossible to estimate even if the two heroes are measured.

“Any mistake I made…?”

No matter how much I thought about it, I could only think of it as a crazy guild.

“no. It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

Amseong shook his head and continued talking.

“Stop talking about rubbish… Spirituality. Can you hear more about what happened inside the dungeon?”

Spirituality nodded and said.

“This child saved my life. The first time I received a call from Taebum and entered the Draug Dungeon…”

The moment when such a long story was about to begin.

“for a moment!”

Seo-jun intervened and shouted.

Then, the eyes of the two heroes focused again.

Seojun said with a grin.

“Is it okay if I explain that?”

“What… I’m going to do whatever I feel comfortable with.”

Amseong nodded along with Youngseong’s words.

Seojun explained in detail what had happened in the Draug Dungeon to Amseong.

“But all of a sudden, the draugs started running away, and I chased after them…”

Really very detailed.

“And from there, something smelled like Jinrihoe? I just felt it. ah! What tricks did the Jinrihoe do! Like this. Isn’t that right, Youngseong-nim?”

“Uh… uh uh, that, was that…?”

“Oh, yes! So I was there…”

To be precise, he emphasized very much that Jinrihoe was involved.

End of such a long story.

“Is this really true?”

Sure enough, the ignorance asked about its authenticity.

Seojun proudly pointed to Youngseong next to him and shouted.

“here! Young Seong-nim is the witness of it all! Isn’t that right, Youngseong-nim?”

Then Seo-joon and Am-seong’s gaze focused on spirituality.

“It is true.”

Spirituality nodded slowly.

But for some reason, the expression on his face was grim.

It was also because what Seojun said was a little strange.

Seo-joon, seen by Young-seong, was crazy about dehydrating the draugs, and all he did was deal with the devil.

But suddenly what is this…?

Another funny thing is that when you look closely, there is nothing that isn’t true.

“The truth is… it is.”

Spirituality was just strange.

“haha. look at that! am i You can’t lie, can you?”

Seo-joon pounded his chest and shouted.

“Do it! I have enough 10 billion… no, 10 billion to the conclusion that Jinrihoe is aiming for Youngseong-nim… No, that’s right… That’s right!”

Seo-joon concluded his words with a shameless expression, probably because he didn’t know.

Amseong shook his head as if he was fed up with seeing Seo-jun like that.

In fact, that’s what it means, doesn’t it mean that you just have to deposit money yourself?

Who in the world could say such a thing against cancer?

“······I get it. I will give you 10 billion as promised.”

However, the darkness nodded slowly without saying anything.

In a way, this case was a situation in which Seo-joon covered Amseong’s mistake.

If it wasn’t for Seojun, Youngseong wouldn’t be standing here right now.

If so, the ignorance would not be able to forgive itself.

“Good!”

Seo-joon clenched his fists and shouted softly.

“How can you not change anything about you?”

Darkness, for some reason, only let out laughter.

And Young-seong, who was quietly listening to the story.

“wait for a sec. Did the Jinrihoe target me? What did you mean by that?”

Youngseong said, questioning Seojun’s last words.

And it was Amseong instead of Seojun.

“Like that guy said, the Jinrihoe aimed at you, Youngseong, in this Drag Dungeon.”

“You mean me? why?”

“Exactly, not only you, but Jinrihoe seems to have the purpose of eliminating the heroes of the cataclysm one after another.”

“What, what? Cataclysm heroes? For what reason?”

“I don’t even know that yet.”

Amseong shook his head slightly and continued.

“spirituality. Besides you, I was also threatened by Jinrihoe. None other than the Apostle of Temperance came to me.”

“An apostle of temperance? You mean the apostle moved himself?”

“yes? Are you an apostle of temperance?”

Young-seong and even Seo-joon looked surprised at the sudden words of Amseong.

The Apostle of Temperance is none other than one of the Seven Apostles.

And the 7 apostles could actually be seen as the highest figure of Jinrihoe.

Did such an apostle of temperance come to the planet of darkness?

Darkness continued to speak.

“I’ve been chasing Beserk’s trail.”

The story of Amseong that continued like that.

The story is a clue to Beserk, which the star of darkness has been chasing.

And it was about what happened with the apostle of temperance recently.

“After many twists and turns, I was able to come out alive. But why the Jinrihoe wants to eliminate the heroes… I’m still not quite sure.”

It was the moment when such a long story of darkness ended.

‘for a moment···?’

Seo-joon felt something foreign in his head.

To be precise, countless concepts were pouring into Seo-joon’s head.

And this feeling was also a feeling that Seojun had experienced once.

It was in the written test in the Pro Hunter exam.

So Seo-joon could also know what this meant.

None other than Insight[S].

The ability to intuitively understand and understand the problem of a phenomenon.

“The reason why the Jinrihoe wants to eliminate the heroes.”

Seo-joon slowly sorted out the pouring concepts.

When it was sorted out to some extent, I opened my mouth again.

“Could it be related to Beserk?”

At Seo-jun’s sudden words, Amseong-seong and Young-seong’s gaze turned to Seo-jun.

However, judging by the expression on her face, it didn’t seem like she was expecting much.

“It’s just my guess, it’s not accurate, so take it into account and listen.”

Seojun opened his mouth to the two of them again.

“Amseong-nim told me the other day. You said Beserk isn’t dead, right? He just said he suddenly disappeared. And he said it was done by a great voice and seven apostles.”

“okay. It was.”

“That’s what the ignorance said.”

Along with ignorance, spirituality also nodded slowly.

Spirituality is also a hero of cataclysm, such as ignorance.

Since he was actually involved in the battle with Beserk, it was impossible not to know that fact.

“At that time… did you say how strong Beserk was?”

“It was such a terrible monster that even if all the heroes in the world faced it, there was no guarantee of victory.”

Great Monster Beserk.

The monster of the apocalypse called Cataclysm itself and is still being talked about.

Young-seong shook his body once, as if he remembered what had happened that day.

Seo-joon also couldn’t imagine how strong he was to the point where he couldn’t even guarantee a match against heroes from all over the world.

However, Seo Jun’s insight approached the concept in a slightly different way.

“So you’re saying you can’t ‘assert’ a match in the end?”

“What do you mean?”

The ensuing question of ignorance.

Seo-joon spoke firmly.

“Isn’t it that no one knew if the end of the world would literally come, or if Beserk would fall?”

It was also true that the match could not be guaranteed, which was true for both sides.

Just like the heroes weren’t sure if they could defeat Beserk.

Beserk also meant that he could not be certain of winning against the heroes.

but.

“What if Jinrihoe knew about that fact?”

“what?”

“So… what if Jinrihoe knew the whereabouts of the match?”

“What nonsense is that?”

Youngseong shook his head, saying that it was nonsense.

But Seo-joon couldn’t just let it pass.

Order Of Truth.

The Jinrihoe was formed around a man called ‘The Great Voice’ and seven apostles under him, who claimed that their words were the words of God.

And although it is said to be a god, in fact, the god they worship is a non-existent god.

It was not exactly a personal God, and the God they speak of is Truth.

Therefore, they were no different from claiming that their words were the truth.

At first, of course, I thought it was nonsense.

Their words are soon to be true.

There was no arrogance like this.

However, based on the experiences he had been through, Seo-joon was able to make a guess without difficulty.

“If Jinrihoe could see the future… wouldn’t it be possible?”

In an instant, the two heroes tilt their heads.

“Of course, we are not looking at the perfect future. But if you can see it, even imperfectly.”

Seo-joon looked at the castle of darkness and continued.

“In a way, the observation of the Jinrihoe that Amseongnim talked about last time can also be seen as part of this.”

“······!!”

Then, the darkness opened its eyes and looked surprised.

The other day, the ignorance said, Jinrihoe is when the target of attention does something.

I said you can see the results of it.

See the consequences of the target’s actions.

In other words, it was like seeing the future.

And not being able to see Seo-joon.

Last time, the mentor said that Seo-jun’s cause and effect had not been measured.

Maybe this is why Jinrihoe couldn’t see Seo-joon.

Amnesia shook her head and spat out the words.

“Yeah… I thought about it. There is a possibility.”

“what? Are you believing that sound now?”

“If it were me in the past, I would have dismissed it as bullshit… but now things are happening that I just can’t get past.”

Amseong looked at Seojun and said.

“Go ahead.”

Seojun nodded slowly and continued.

“The Jinrihoe saw the future where Beserk collapsed even though the damage to the heroes was severe. And that’s how I judged it.”

After taking a breath for a while, Seo-joon opened his mouth again.

“They say Beserk shouldn’t come out right now.”

“That means…”

“Isn’t the great voice and the seven apostles deliberately making Beserk disappear?”

Then the eyes of spirituality and ignorance began to open.

He then spoke in a trembling voice.

“Why on earth did the Jinrihoe do such a thing…? Or rather, what does it have to do with eliminating heroes?”

Seo-joon spoke calmly.

“Because only heroes can stand against Beserk. So, instead of releasing Beserk right away, the Jinrihoe wanted to eliminate heroes who could stand against it over time.”

“When all the heroes of Cataclysm were eliminated like that. To be precise, when there were no people who could stand against Beserk. If you release Beserk into the world again…”

A word from Seo-joon that followed.

“The world can’t handle the cataclysm and is on its way to the end.”

“······!!”

“······!!”

The faces of spirituality and ignorance began to be colored with astonishment.

And the question of spirituality that followed.

“Ha, but baby. If what you’re saying is true, why do you need to do that? Time will solve it anyway, right?”

Seojun nodded slowly.

“Yes. As Youngseong said, there is no need to go to such an extreme to eliminate heroes. After all, the heroes will die at the end of their lives anyway.”

The lifespan of heroes is not infinite.

In a word, it was something to be left alone.

There was no reason for the Jinrihoe to go this far.

It was a problem that time would take care of.

But what if there is not much time left for Jinrihoe?

“Perhaps… the Jinrihoe is also in a situation where Beserk cannot be captured forever. In a word, there is no time left.”

And Insight gave this evidence of this possibility.

“Distortion.”

Seo-joon continued to speak.

“Isn’t it strange that the Distortion suddenly occurs?”

The Distortion was originally an anomaly that could only be seen during the Cataclysm.

A phenomenon that has not occurred since the end of Cataclysm, but has recently begun to occur.

And Beserk is the cataclysm, the monster of the end called itself.

“What if the power of Beserk, which had been sealed away, was released again and the Distortion occurred?”

Therefore, the insight suggested three possibilities.

first.

“As the seal of Beserk weakened, its power spread to the world and caused distortion.”

second.

“The Jinrihoe recently discovered a way to use Beserk’s power.”

and last.

“Maybe it’s both of them.”

Seojun concluded his words and looked at the two heroes for a moment.

“······!!”

“······!!”

Then, the expressions of the two heroes distorted beyond shock and astonishment.

Seojun opened his mouth to the two of them again.

“But like I said, I’m not sure.”

As such, insight interprets and understands phenomena based on given information.

I had no choice but to be silent about information that was not given in a word.

I can only infer.

The reason why the insight was activated now was because Seojun had heard the clues about Beserk and the story of the Apostle of Temperance from Amseong.

“The thoughts I have just expressed are based on the fact that the purpose of Jinrihoe is not pure. More precisely, they are possibilities based on the assumption that Jinrihoe aims at the end of the earth.”

however.

“Isn’t that what Jinrihoe did?”

In the meantime, Jinrihoe’s actions were not at all like that.

If Jinrihoe really had impure intentions.

It would have been enough if I had stayed still from the beginning.

But Jinrihoe not only ended the cataclysm.

Like the heroes of Cataclysm, it was clear that he saved people and sacrificed them.

If the end of the earth was the goal, it would have been enough if the heroes had been hostile in the first place.

Or after the heroes and Beserk were destroyed.

It was enough for a great voice and seven apostles to rule the world.

They had enough power to do that.

But did I really need to draw such a big picture?

One more thing above all.

What if the future Jinrihoe saw wasn’t the future where Beserk collapsed?

In fact, contrary to Seo-jun’s expectations, what if the world lacks the power to deal with Beserk and is nothing more than a temporary seal?

“There are so many inconsistent actions. So little has been revealed about Jinrihoe.”

In the first place, Seo-jun was not even sure that the great voice existed.

It’s just because the heroes of the cataclysm saw it.

Too little information has yet been revealed to fully believe in the potential for insight.

“·······”

“·······”

However, despite the reasoning based on that fragmentary information, the two heroes could not help but be astonished.

‘Oh, how can this…’

‘What are you really doing…’

Not even a cataclysm hero, but a mere professional hunter could say such a thing.

And that’s a newbie who just got an A-class hunter’s license.

Of course, as Seo-jun said, it was just a simple possibility.

Even the two heroes didn’t know much about Jinrihoe.

But if…

What Seojun said is really true.

What will happen if Beserk is liberated again someday?

Now the heroes were getting older and losing their strength.

And today’s professional hunters can’t stop Beserk.

A job that is not just about making money.

Will this world have the power to stop the monster of the end?

The heads of both ignorance and spirituality turned toward Seo-joon at the same time.

and thoughts that come to mind.

‘If this guy…’

‘If this child…’

However, the two heroes quickly shook their heads.

No matter how amazing Seojun was, it wasn’t Beserk.

Beserk is literally the monster of the apocalypse.

It is a monster that can never, never be matched.

It must be so.

“Uh…why, why do you say that?”

What is this tickle that rises from the corner of my heart?

“·······”

“·······”

The two heroes could not define their feelings.
