Transcension Academy Chapter 123

Chapter 123 – S-Class Hunter (1)

The two heroes blankly stare at Seo-joon.

Seo-jun thought for a while, leaving the two heroes behind.

The concepts of Insight [S] suggested a plausible possibility, but it was literally just a possibility.

I couldn’t give a clear answer to the questions Seo-joon presented earlier.

In addition, the apostle of chastity who died suddenly, which has now become vacant.

Is it really natural history? Or is there some other reason?

Insight[S] was silent on this matter.

‘Since there is not much known about Jinrihoe, Won…’

As such, very little information was known about Jinrihoe.

A religious group formed in collusion around a person called the Great Voice and the seven apostles under him.

The god they serve is Truth.

A human salvation organization that ended the cataclysm.

This was all that was known about an organization called the ‘Order of Truth.’

The majority of people doubt that the great voice exists, so it’s time to say it.

What is the real purpose pursued by Jinrihoe?

Jinrihoe piled up in a veil.

Questions still unresolved.

‘······ Eh, let’s stop thinking about it.’

Seojun shook his head.

Even if I thought about it like this, it was because it was not something I could know right away.

After Seo-joon shook his head again, he asked Amseong.

“Rather than that, Mr. Amseong. What will Amseong-nim do now?”

At Seo-jun’s words, Amseong suddenly regained his senses and answered.

“Okay. In the meantime, I’ve been focusing my research on Beserk, but…”

And then there was no word for a while.

A calmly lowered gaze.

It was clear that he was lost in long thoughts.

After a while, the mouth of the ignorance slowly opened.

“After hearing what you said, what kind of organization is Jinrihoe? I guess it’s more important to know that first.”

And again, as if lost in thought, he was silent, and then he continued.

“At this point, I plan to go abroad.”

“yes? Are you leaving Korea?”

Amseong nodded.

“As long as the apostle of temperance is conscious of my existence, it is difficult to promote in Korea.”

“ah···”

“And what Jinrihoe is doing now. Does this only happen in Korea or does it target heroes all over the world. I guess I need to know that too.”

Amseong-seong turned his head and said to Young-seong.

“Youngseong, what are you planning to do?”

“I don’t know… well either. Having lived so disconnected from the world, it is difficult to get lost. For now, I’m thinking of going out into the world with the help of Aga…”

The answer of spirituality that is not certain somewhere.

Darkness nodded slowly and said.

“The purpose of the Jinrihoe is still unclear, but the ulterior motive to eliminate the heroes is clear. Although we failed this time, we never know when the threat will strike again.”

The ignorance gazed at spirituality.

“It’s not that I don’t know why you left the world. It may be resentful, but… but I think it would be better to let the world know about your existence now.”

“·······”

“It’s a thought that comes to mind now, but I think this is the reason why the sword castle is not threatened by the Jinrihoe.”

Spirituality without an answer for a long time.

“I see.”

However, spirituality finally nodded slowly.

And at the appearance of such spirituality, Amseong showed a slightly surprised expression.

It was because it was a spirituality that he did not change his mind even though he had been persuaded so far.

That’s why the ignorance could not explain this feeling right now.

The days of struggling for the world, sharing the joys and sorrows for a long time.

It was an era of peace that had come, but it was scattered due to a clash of opinions.

The relationship that went wrong like that has been hardened for decades.

I thought we would never get together again like before.

But now.

The situation that seemed impossible was gradually becoming a reality.

A bastard who really thought it was nothing was making it possible.

The darkness slowly opened its mouth towards that bastard.

“Especially you. You guys will have to be extra careful.”

“yes? Me?”

Amnesia nodded and said.

“In the meantime, Jinrihoe has been keeping an eye on you, but they probably didn’t pay much attention. Just some invisible variable. I must have been thinking about that much.”

Amseong continued, preparing to leave.

“But I won’t treat you as a mere variable because of this incident. To be precise, there is a high possibility that they will think of it as a variable that can pose a threat to them. It is clear that some action must be taken. maybe you’re doing it now So be very careful.”

The darkness slowly disappeared into the background.

-I don’t know when it will be, but I’ll come back when I find new information.

Amseong suddenly left the place without leaving those words.

But at that very moment.

“Amseong-nim! Wait!”

widely.

Suddenly, Seojun blocked the castle in front of Amseong.

Amseong was greatly taken aback by Seo-joon’s appearance.

It was also because he was in hiding right now.

Still blocked your way?

It was impossible to simply detect the presence.

A level that is possible only when clearly recognizing the shape.

That’s why I wondered if Seo-joon took a rough shot of Amseong.

However, since it was roughly matched, Seo-joon’s gaze was directed directly at him.

‘What is this…?’

A word from Seo-joon that follows at that moment.

“13 billion won before leaving Korea! Don’t forget!”

“·······”

I wondered if the ignorance could sense the presence of money by smell.

#

Meanwhile.

‘ha···’

Lee Tae-bum let out a deep sigh.

The reason is that after processing the 30 billion won to be given to Seo-joon, he was about to head straight to the Dream Team building.

It was because he was suddenly called to a hearing.

And the reason he was called to the hearing was none other than that.

“S-class hunter license for those who do not perform well.”

“Is this a reasonable sound?”

It was because of the S-class hunter license given to Seo-joon.

The S-class Hunter license promised by Lee Tae-beom in exchange for clearing the Draug Dungeon.

The problem was that Seo-jun was not yet qualified to obtain an S-class hunter license according to the regulations.

The S-class Hunter was a stage called the pinnacle of professional hunters.

Of course, the benefits were also endless, so it was a qualification that could only be obtained by accumulating appropriate performance.

And it wasn’t enough just to deal with one draug dungeon.

To be precise, it was not enough just to clear one ’10-star dungeon’.

However, Lee Tae-bum decided that there was no problem at all.

Because the Draug Dungeon was a dungeon that could not be seen simply as a 10-star dungeon.

In addition, Hunter Kim Seo-joon was already the owner of skills that had nothing to lack even if he was called an S-class hunter.

Even Lee Tae-bum and himself couldn’t guarantee a match against Seo-joon.

No, I was able to be sure of this Draug Dungeon.

sure to lose

That’s why it was judged that there was no problem in giving Seo-jun an S-class hunter license even if his performance was insufficient.

“How is this different from a parachute?”

But they don’t seem to be like that.

“Furthermore, you arbitrarily disposed of the 30 billion won budget estimated by the association. All of that, too, under the pretext of giving it to Kim Seo-joon.”

“Is it okay to use people’s blood tax recklessly like that?”

“This is an abuse of power!”

Lee Tae-bum’s head throbbed.

Did you know that if the Draug dungeon exploded, you wouldn’t be able to afford it with only 30 billion?

No, the fact that there are talented people who can handle the Draug Dungeon in the first place.

Do you know that you should bow down and be thankful for that fact alone?

Are you thinking about how many countries are frantic because they can’t handle that?

Lee Tae-bum shook his head.

Those bastards… No, those members of the National Assembly who are heavy in the ass and only know how to spit out tabletop discussions, Ali is full of them.

“Other hunters are dying to become S-class hunters, but Kim Seo-joon is an S-class hunter at once.”

“Isn’t this an obvious special treatment?”

“Isn’t there such a thing as equity? It is not the case for the president of the association, which represents all professional hunters in Korea, to stand up for a specific hunter.”

just screaming loudly

And Lee Tae-beom guessed why they were doing that.

‘Ryu Jin-cheol… I’m going to come out like this.’

Lee Tae-bum gnashed his teeth inwardly.

It was obvious.

There was only one person who could do such tricks.

It is also a dirty trick that can be called behind the scenes work.

It was unclear why he was borrowing the power of the National Assembly like this without directly stepping forward, but it was obvious that he was capable of such tricks.

“Don’t just stand there and say something!”

“Is the hearing a joke!”

Lee Tae-bum calmly raised his gaze and looked straight ahead.

The atmosphere sinks heavily just by simply looking at it.

Lee Tae-beom is an S-rank hunter, a cataclysmic hero, and a strong man in between.

The reason why Jincheol Ryu of Black Dragon maintained a monopoly system for decades but could not swallow it.

The sound of swallowing saliva resounded quietly.

in that gloomy atmosphere.

Taebum Lee sighed.

“you’re right. Special treatment.”

At that moment, the hearing chairman was dumbfounded.

“Ji, what now…”

“Special treatment. I said yes.”

Lee Tae-bum nodded lightly.

“·······”

“·······”

Once again, the dumbfounded hearing chairman.

But that’s for a while.

Soon after, voices began to erupt from all over the place.

“Are you saying that now?”

“Special treatment right! What is this…!”

The hearing hall quickly becomes a mess.

However, Lee Tae-bum said in a calm voice.

“I would like to ask you one question. If I were to give the Sword Master an S-class Hunter license, would you stop it then?”

“Suddenly, what are you talking about!”

“Please answer my question. Are you still going to dry it?”

Lee Tae-bum’s cold voice.

One of the members of the council opened his mouth slowly.

“Sword Master, is an S-class hunter license acceptable? I don’t know if it’s a higher grade.”

Then everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Lee Tae-bum replied with a snort.

“Why? Sword Saint-nim hasn’t officially raided a dungeon since the cataclysm ended.”

“That’s right, Sword Saint-sama…”

“Sword Saint doesn’t have the ‘performance’ that the lawmakers are talking about at all.”

At the time when the Pro Hunter Association was established and the word pro hunter appeared, the heroes of Cataclysm retreated to the back of society.

As Lee Tae-bum said, there was no rule to give a swordsman an S-class hunter.

“Even so, the reason why he doesn’t stop it is because everyone knows about Sword Saint-nim’s skills and sacrifices. Hunter Kim Seo-joon is the same reason.”

Lee Tae-bum spoke calmly.

“We treat hero-level hunters as they deserve. If it’s a special treatment, it’s a special treatment.”

“What, what?”

At Lee Tae-bum’s words, the lawmakers looked puzzled for a moment.

Not an S-class hunter, but a hero-class hunter?

Lawmakers tried to say something, but Lee Tae-bum was one beat faster.

“And already in the Pro Hunter exam, Hunter Seojun Kim made concessions for others. But what does this one special treatment mean?

Lee Tae-bum continued to speak.

“And did you say I wasted the people’s taxpayer money?”

Lee Tae-beom looked straight at the congressman who had said that earlier and said.

“Then, Senator, how do you think the tax money should be used so that it is not wasted?”

“That’s right… Of course I have to write for the people.”

“So you wrote it like that?”

“I beg your pardon? Where do you see giving 30 billion to Kim Seo-joon for the sake of the people?”

angry legislator.

Lee Tae-bum didn’t even come out with a snort.

“Does the Senator know what happens when the Draug Dungeon breaks down and says that?”

“·······”

“The amount of damage alone will be hundreds of billions of won, and there will be unimaginable human casualties. Can you handle that, Senator?”

Draugh is a ghost monster with no shape.

It was almost impossible to deal with it outside of the dungeon world.

“We invested 30 billion won for the safety of the people. Isn’t it the tax of the people who gave it to spend like that? What is the problem?”

“No, that’s…”

“And equity? I don’t know what the fairness you are talking about means. Isn’t it against equity that the salaries of lawmakers are so much higher than other public servants?”

“That’s right, aren’t we doing something a little higher?”

“Aren’t you Kim Seo-joon Hunter? Are you saying that you can become a member of Congress and not Hunter Kim Seo-joon?”

Lee Tae-bum was angry.

He didn’t know Seo-jun’s skills, saying that they would.

I also know that this is unreasonable.

Still, it was obvious to do this.

Ryu Jin-cheol’s political trickery and the back money that Ryu Jin-cheol handed over.

Lee Tae-bum continued his words coldly.

“I don’t think you guys are a waste of blood tax. If you eat the country’s rust, you should at least be ashamed.”

At that moment, the lawmakers all started shouting.

“what? You’re done!”

“Where is this place!”

“If you’re the president of the association, you know you’re sweet!”

However, Lee Tae-bum ignored all of those words.

“Hunter Kim Seo-joon is an S-class Hunter as of the present time. So I hope you know that.”

After saying just this as if to inform, he turned around and left the hearing without hesitation.

A shout came from behind.

However, Lee Tae-bum did not look back.

Lee Tae-beom leaves the hearing.

Lee Tae-bum went straight to the Dream Team building.

“nice to meet you. Taebum Lee. Is this the first time we’ve met like this?”

No, I was going to.

Lee Tae-bum stood tall and stopped at the mysterious woman suddenly blocking his path.

And the existence confirmed was a platinum-haired paladin.

“Sir Calia?”

It was none other than Calia, the successor to the apostle of chastity, currently vacant among the seven apostles of the Jinrihoe.

“Why are you here…?”

Lee Tae-bum asked with a puzzled look at the sudden appearance of Calia.

Calia replied with a calm smile.

“I have something I want to talk to Taebum Lee about, but would you like some time?”

#

“Whoa! I was horrified because I thought you were eating 13 billion won.”

Seo-joon was able to breathe a sigh of relief only after receiving a confirmation from Amseong.

It was because it was difficult to find the dark castle, so it was quite difficult to eat money.

Of course, the hero of the cataclysm will take the money…

Still, isn’t there a case of forgetting and forgetting!

There was nothing wrong with making it clear.

Seojun thought so and returned to his seat.

At that moment, the appearance of spirituality reflected in Seo-jun’s field of vision.

“·······”

Spirituality seemed to be thinking about something complicated.

It seemed like I was thinking about something about the words of the dark castle just now.

Seo-joon said to such a spirit.

“There is nothing urgent right now, so stay here and think about it slowly.”

And is it because of Seojun’s words?

“Thank you.”

Young Seong’s expression seemed to have eased a little.

Seo-joon waved his hand as if he was okay with such spirituality.

Of course, from the point of testifying to Amseong, there was nothing more Seo-joon wanted from Young-seong.

However, that did not mean that I would abandon spirituality.

In a sense, Seo-joon was in debt to Young-seong.

It was not only for Seo-jun, but for everyone living in this era.

The noble sacrifices made by the heroes of Cataclysm.

Seo-jun sincerely respected and pursued heroes.

Compared to what spirituality had done, this was nothing.

And do you know

Yeongseong was thrilled with such Seo-joon and gave him more money than he originally intended to give…

‘Hehe.’

well, anyway.

Seo-joon has already moved along with Young-seong entering the building.

And it was then.

“I… Excuse me.”

Suddenly, someone heard a voice calling Seo-jun.

A middle-aged man in his 40s.

It was the first person I saw.

On the other hand, he checked Seo-jun’s face and said with a smile.

“Ah, nice to meet you, Hunter Kim Seo-joon. My name is Park Yu-min, manager of the Dungeon Management Department of the Pro Hunter Association.

After checking the business card Park Yoo-min handed over, Seo-joon said.

“Ah yes. Nice to meet you. But what’s going on here…”

“It’s nothing else, I came because I have something to tell Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”

Seo-joon nodded slowly and waited for Park Yu-min to speak.

Then all of a sudden

A sudden thought came to my mind and I asked Yoomin Park.

“uh? By the way, the president of the association decided to come directly to me. Is it different from that?”

“no. It’s not like that, but the president of the association is in a situation where he can’t come right now…”

Park Yu-min seemed to have difficulty speaking, so he started to hesitate considerably.

Breaking out in a cold sweat seemed like a pretty difficult story.

Seeing Park Yoo-min like that, a thought passed through Seo-joon’s head.

Seojun shouted.

“Stop, no way! Now, you can’t give 30 billion, or the budget is insufficient! Or cut it a little!! It’s not like that!!!”

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!!!

At the same time, a creepy energy that explodes with Seo-jun’s whole body.

‘This… what is this…!’

Facing such Seo-jun’s energy head-on, Park Yu-min felt dizzy.

Park Yu-min was a first-class hunter.

Strictly speaking, he was a professional hunter of the same level as the current Seojun.

Although he was a talented person who was unmatched anywhere in the world of pro hunters, the reason he belonged to the association was none other than Lee Tae-beom.

If it were the heroes of Cataclysm who saved the world from the apocalypse.

It is Lee Tae-beom, the president of the association, who makes such a world a better place to live.

Admired by Lee Tae-bum, it was Park Yoo-min who rejected the path of a professional hunter and joined the association.

Anyway, Park Yoo-min has met numerous hunters in the association.

Member of the Dungeon Management Department, Park Yoo-min.

It is none other than Park Yoo-min’s job to wrestle with S-class hunters who say they are crazy.

That’s why Park Yu-min was confident that he would not be overwhelmed by any force.

‘But what about this…’

However, it was the first time in my life that I felt such a creepy pressure.

no, just once.

I once felt a similar feeling to the hero of the cataclysm, the sword star.

To be honest, the Sword Saint wasn’t even like this…

‘What nonsense…’

I knew that Seo-jun defeated Han Man-cheol in the pro hunter test, but

The Seo-joon I actually met was far beyond my imagination.

Park Yoo-min gathered all his strength and spat out the words.

“Oh no! It’s not like that!!”

“to? Is that so?”

“Yes, yes! 30 billion has already been processed! It will be deposited today or tomorrow!”

Then, the energy faded in an instant.

“ha ha ha! I guess I was too excited.”

Seo-joon scratched the back of his head and made an awkward expression.

It was an awkward atmosphere that could not be thought of as the person who had just emitted that energy.

But Park Yoo-min could never think that way.

“Then for what reason…? Is there any problem with the association president?”

Seo-joon’s next question.

“no. Not even that. but···”

Park Yoo-min slowly opened his mouth.
