Transcension Academy Chapter 190

Episode 190 – The Consecration Ceremony

A second cataclysm?

Seojun tilted his head at the words of the swordsman.

At the same time, the team members tilted their heads as if they couldn’t understand.

That’s because the cataclysm could never have happened.

A cataclysm is a disaster based on Beserk’s existence.

So the words of the second cataclysm, that is.

It could only mean that Beserk was alive and not dead.

“It could be.”

So, Seo-joon firmly shook his head.

Beserk is obviously dead.

Exactly, it disappeared.

This is an undeniable fact.

“I don’t know why you’re so sure, but…”

Seeing Seo-joon like that, Geomseong calmly continued.

It’s just that Distortion dungeons have become more active all over the world.

And the movement of the suspicious Jinrihoe.

To be precise, the appearance of not taking any action or answering the existence of Beserk.

‘Dungeons of Distortion have become more active?’

At the words of the swordsman, Seo-joon’s eyes flashed.

The Dungeon of Distortion was a phenomenon caused by the existence of Beserk.

Of course, it was a possibility suggested by insight.

However, he faced Beserk himself.

It turned out to be true.

That’s why Beserk is now extinct.

Distortion dungeons also deserved to disappear.

But is it getting more active?

‘Hmm…’

Seojun was lost in thought for a moment.

Numerous possibilities tangled in my head.

And there were two possibilities that were sorted out.

First, Beserk is not dead.

However, Seojun immediately shook his head.

It was because he had witnessed with his own two eyes that Beserk perished along with the collapse of the universe.

And in the first place, the collapse of the world was enough force to drag Seo-jun into the space of the boundary.

Power to the point of violating the world’s laws.

I don’t know if Beserk had released its full power.

However, Beserk at the time was in an incomplete state.

It did not have enough power to defy the collapse of the universe.

Seo-joon was sure.

Beserk is dead.

So the second possibility.

Just before Beserk is destroyed.

Someone took that power.

And that someone was very likely to be an unidentified being who tried to kill Seo-joon.

However, Seo-joon could not easily nod his head at this possibility.

That would be the case, how the hell would he take Beserk’s power,

How else would you use that power?

‘Hmm…’

deepening troubles.

It was then.

smart.

“Hunter Kim Seo-joon? this is aria I heard that Geomseong-nim came from Korea…”

Suddenly, Aria’s voice came from outside the door.

Seojun brushed off his thoughts and answered.

“Come on in.”

Click.

With Seojun’s answer, the door to the room opened, revealing Aria and Robert.

Perhaps she had come dressed up, her golden hair was shining.

Arya gracefully greeted the Sword Saint.

“nice to see you. Her name is Aria, Queen of England. She has heard a lot from the previous queen, and it is an honor to meet her like this.”

“Are you Beatrice’s granddaughter?”

“…?”

Arya tilted her head at the words of the Sword Master.

Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he had not understood the meaning of the words of the swordsman.

Seo-jun quickly figured out the reason and winked at Lee Ha-yoon.

Lee Ha-yoon immediately attached a soul interpreter (?) to the swordsman.

The swordsman spoke again.

“Are you Beatrice’s granddaughter?”

“Ah yes.”

Arya was then able to nod her head.

The swordsman calmly looked at Arya.

His qualities as a Hunter were not visible at all.

To be honest, she was nothing more than a weak woman.

But why?

The swordsman could feel the dignity of a certain king in Arya.

Something that cannot be explained by the logic of power alone.

The swordsman spit out the words.

“Better than Beatrice.”

“hot!”

Arya bowed her head.

The swordsman slightly turned his gaze to look at Robert next to Arya.

The eyes of two people meeting each other.

“At that time, the little boy also grew up a lot.”

“You haven’t changed a thing since then.”

Their conversation ended with that.

Geomseong turned his gaze back to look at Seojun.

“so. What do you plan to do?”

Seojun answered right away.

“I have to go.”

“Then prepare immediately. There’s not much time left—”

“By the way, don’t you give me a car fee or something?”

“…?”

The swordsman involuntarily stopped talking.

“No, it is. The cost of a plane ticket to the US is not even a penny. I wondered if I should have paid for the fare if I invited them.”

what···.

It was not wrong.

But that wasn’t the right word.

“Does that mean there is no airfare?”

“haha···.”

Geomseong was speechless at Seo-joon’s shy smile.

The hunter who defeated Beserk doesn’t have any money in his hands?

The swordsman looked at Arya involuntarily.

But he quickly turned his head.

It was because Aria was looking at Seo-jun with a shocked expression.

The swordsman slowly opened his mouth.

“I will give you that much.”

“ha ha ha···.”

Seo-joon scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Then he opened his mouth again.

“Then, is there any participation fee?”

“·······”

The swordsman was momentarily speechless.

“What the hell are you going to spend your money on? No, where are you writing it?”

Arya nodded fiercely at the words of the Sword Master.

At the same time, the team members also twinkled their eyes as if they were curious.

“Ah, that’s it—”

To listen to Shakyamuni lecture, you have to repurchase the free pass ticket,

Also, I want to listen to some Hwa-ta lectures while on the plane,

After trying the elixir this time, I want to take more elixirs from the transcendent shop…

Seojun couldn’t bear to answer.

“Ha ha ha ha ha···.”

just laugh out loud

The swordsman said with an absurd expression.

“······ Go and ask for that.”

“Ah, will that work?”

At Seo-jun’s words, the swordsman finally ascended to heaven in awe.

Asking for a participation fee at a place where cataclysmic heroes around the world gather.

However, the swordsman did not think deeply.

He just wanted to leave this thorny problem to the United States.

And right at that moment.

“Hey, wait!”

Arya shouted in an urgent voice.

Aria looked at her with a rather puzzled face.

“Hey, are you going to leave?”

“yes. Now we have to leave soon.”

“A bar right now?”

At Aria’s question, Seo-jun looked at the sword castle.

The swordsman calmly nodded and said.

“Since you guys have been here in England for a long time, I don’t have much time. If we leave right now…the time will be just right.”

“ah···.”

Then Arya’s face was filled with indescribable disappointment.

The sad face of the world.

Seojun asked Aria.

“What’s wrong?”

“That, that’s…”

Arya was at a loss for words.

Could it be because of Aria’s appearance?

“But there is no reason to go on time.”

The swordsman calmly opened his mouth.

“He’s a cataclysmic hero, and everyone is just needlessly heavy ass. Most of the people who act late are probably the majority. You have to go on time, it’s obvious that you’ll wait anyway.”

The swordsman looked at Aria and continued.

“If there are still unfinished tasks, finish them.”

Aria clenched her fists at the words of the Sword Master.

Then he calmly turned his gaze and said to Seo-jun.

“Can I ask you one last favor to the Dream Team?”

#

London, the capital of England.

There was a huge crowd here.

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

People were mixed regardless of region and origin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire British people flocked to the scene.

As a result, the city of London had no gap to set foot on.

Seo-joon stared blankly at the people who were filling his gaze.

Beside Seo-joon, Robert slowly opened his mouth.

“All of them came for the enthronement ceremony of Hunter Kim Seo-joon and the Dream Team.”

“A ceremony?”

Robert nodded slightly.

“This situation could be said to be a horror created by the limitations of England.”

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

England was effectively divided into four countries.

Without realizing that they were the same people, they antagonized each other.

Even the trusted heroes of the cataclysm turned their backs on the power.

In a disaster where they should have united and joined forces, they could not unite.

Thus, the great monster of the end, Beserk, appeared.

Maybe if Britain had joined forces as one, Beserk might not have appeared.

But Britain didn’t.

Beserk was a great disaster created by a divided England.

They were helplessly trampled in front of that calamity.

And ironically, a ray of hope came through.

They were Asian hunters who had nothing to do with England.

They were just foreigners.

Even if I run away, I don’t know, there is no one to say anything.

However, in front of a monster they could not handle, they did not run away.

He fought for England without backing down.

He risked his life to fight for England, which had nothing to do with it.

England, which was busy fighting each other, peeked an unknown will from them.

And that will made it possible to unite England once again.

“Will you accept the present we prepared for you?”

Seojun could only nod slowly.

Following Robert’s guidance, Seo-joon and the Dream Team moved slowly.

The place we arrived at was a large outdoor area.

And it was a gorgeously decorated venue.

“excuse me! It’s Kim Seo-joon Hunter!”

“All the Dream Team members are there too!”

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

When Seo-joon appeared there, a huge crowd erupted in shouts.

A fanfare broke out with audible shouts.

“to···?”

“Eh, what is all this…?”

The expression of the team members began to be dumbfounded by the enormous scenery.

Seo-joon and the Dream Team continued to move with a confused feeling.

Eventually, they stopped in front of the long red carpet that crossed the crowd.

Guard knights in uniform attire were lined up next to the red carpet.

And Aria was standing on the podium at the end of the red carpet.

A look with flowing golden hair and an elegant dress.

She really looked like a queen from a fairy tale.

“Let’s go.”

At Robert’s gesture, Seo-joon slowly walked down the red carpet.

The team members followed suit and moved along.

visor!

Every time Seo-joon and his teammates passed by, the swords of the knights intersected, creating a majestic sight.

so under the podium.

Seojun stopped walking in front of Aria.

Aria looked at Seojun with a small smile.

Then, with a tap, he picked up the microphone placed in front of the podium.

“We owe the Dream Team a grace that can’t be repaid.”

Arya then began a rather lengthy speech.

What the Dream Team did for England.

The spirit of sacrifice displayed in the face of disaster.

And even the battle with Beserk.

“If it weren’t for these people, we, England…”

In the middle, whether emotions are overflowing,

Arya continued her speech in a slightly muffled voice.

“I want to repay that grace even a little…”

And so the speech comes to an end.

Arya looked at her teammates with a small smile and said.

“I would like to give the title of ‘Count’ to all members of the Dream Team except Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At the same time, a great shout broke out.

The European nobility system was divided into five levels.

Gonghu Baekja Man.

From the highest Duke to the lowest Baron.

And those who received this title were called ‘nobles’.

Special people who are endowed with political and legislative privileges different from ordinary people.

Therefore, receiving the title was impossible for any achievement.

In most cases, it was just a knighthood.

At the same time, not even once in British history.

No title was ever conferred on a foreigner.

To be dubbed meant to be a nobleman,

Because becoming a noble meant becoming a member of the ruling class.

In other words, it meant to be a being that reigns over the people.

So, who in the world would put foreign nationals over their heads?

Even in this five-tiered title, the Count was called a high-ranking noble.

That was evident from the fact that Robert, the head of the Royal Guard Knights, was a count.

nobility above nobility.

A count was an aristocrat in just such a position.

and.

“You really didn’t turn away from us! Thank you so much!”

“My son is so mad about being like the Dream Team!”

“Awesome Dream Team!”

None of the people gathered here disputed the title.

Are they the only ones gathered here?

“If it weren’t for them, England would be…”

All the British people watching the ceremony were sending their blessings to the Dream Team.

“People like that should become nobles.”

“I think it would have been okay if you gave me the title of Marquis.”

As if it were natural.

It seems like it’s not enough.

People were welcoming the inauguration ceremony of the Dream Team.

“uh···.”

“I-I’m a noble…?”

At the sudden sight, the team members’ expressions began to be dumbfounded.

But it seemed like he didn’t hate it, so a smile spread across his lips.

In particular, Lee Ha-yoon’s expression was quite unusual.

And where did you see it?

The moment the team members were about to kneel toward Arya.

“You don’t have to.”

I stopped my actions at Aria’s dissuade.

I came down the podium to become an aria.

“I hope that the Dream Team members will accept the title from us.”

Then he slightly bowed his head.

The Queen bows her head in front of all the English people.

It was a situation in which the whole of England could be said to bow.

But no one blamed it, it was wrong.

The team members had nothing to say.

Eventually, Arya slowly raised her head.

Then he looked at Seo-joon, who was in front of him.

“Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”

pop.

The sound cut off for a moment.

As if I had pressed the stop button on the video, the sound popped and cut off.

A place where millions of people flock.

I couldn’t even hear the sound that should come out when people gather.

In an atmosphere of strange silence.

Arya opened her mouth slowly.

“Could you please go up on the podium?”

Seojun looked at Aria with a confused feeling.

But Aria only showed a bright smile.

Seo-joon slowly climbed onto the podium.

The view from the raised platform.

The knights lined up and millions of people came in at a glance.

After a while, Arya said with a small smile.

“Hunter Kim Seo-joon’s merits could not be repaid with anything. Even so, we want to give even a small recompense for that merit…”

Aria stopped talking for a moment and looked at Seojun.

At the same time, the eyes of many people also turned to Seo-joon.

under such a focused gaze.

Arya opened her mouth slowly.

“I would like to give Hunter Kim Seo-joon the title of ‘Grand Duke’.”

That moment.

“······!!”

“······!!”

“······!!”

“······!!”

Hundreds of people’s faces began to turn into astonishment.

It was because of just one word.

Grand Duke.

The highest title in the European aristocratic title system, which is divided into five levels, was by far the ‘Duke’.

And the duke’s title was a title bestowed only on the meritorious subjects of the founding or the royal family.

However, what came out of Arya’s mouth was not a duke, but a ‘Grand Duke’.

In fact, it was a title without a grand duke.

It was also because the Grand Duke was originally a title for the monarch of a large feudal state.

In fact, it was a position placed on the same level as a king.

So, in the past, immediately after the United Kingdom was unified into one country.

It was a title that had been abolished since it was bestowed on the Kings of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland at the time.

The Grand Duke could be said to have the same title as the Queen of England, Aria.

A long silence fell.

In the meantime, Aria calmly set an example for the Grand Duke toward Seo-jun on the podium.

Following him, Robert and the knights knelt.

at the same time.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Huge shouts erupted from millions of people that covered the sky.

Facing that majestic scene from the podium.

Seojun suddenly remembered Shakyamuni’s lecture.

[If you’re not particularly unhappy right now.]

[Wouldn’t that be happiness in its own way?]

[We believe in the power of positivity to make life better, and we strive to be happy.]

[However, the surest way to prevent your life from becoming unhappy is not to try to be happier than you are now.]

[Happiness may not be the pursuit of happiness, but the process of erasing the things that make you unhappy.]

.

.

If you think about it, we are all familiar with our own lives.

Our society was a life of competition.

In a way, it was a natural life for each of us to live our own life, saying that only we and I should live well.

There is a prevailing mindset that we just have to live our lives in good health.

These were examples of that.

Even though they were in the same country, they divided regions and origins, and those who antagonized and fought each other.

The world has driven us to our own lives.

In that life, Beserk was literally the end.

In an unexpected end, they divided and fought each other again.

however.

“Hold your head in front of me! You can’t see Kim Seo-joon Hunter!”

“Eh tsk. Anyway, these Welsh guys are too short to be tall. Are you sleeping?”

“oh! It looks good now! In return, drink a glass of this! This is a Welsh specialty…”

Even on the road, we did not lose our dignity.

Why?

As Seo-joon looked at them, he suddenly had this thought.

In the midst of an unexpected disaster called Beserk.

“I will one day become like Hunter Kim Seo-joon!”

“Yumma, what about the newcomer who just came in? Think about defeating Captain Robert first.”

in front of that unmanageable calamity.

“If I defeat Captain Robert, will I become the captain of the Guard?”

“Then what else can’t be done? I don’t know if I can.”

“But I am not from Scotland.

maybe we

“Where is that? We are all English citizens.”

Could it be that we were discovering our true selves?

“It’s a knight!! Bayonet!!”

Chachak!

“Salute to His Majesty the Grand Duke!”

“insect!!!”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

in that majestic sight.

Seojun suddenly had such a thought.

#

A number of cataclysmic heroes stepped on the American soil in the hero call in the United States.

And Lisberry, the American cataclysm hero, the demon hunter.

Risbury visited Colin, a hero of his country.

“Seojun Kim. He’s coming back soon?”

“okay. So-.”

“under! I can’t stay still!”

At Colin’s words that followed, Risbury shook her head.

Spear Master, Colin.

As a hero of cataclysm using a spear, he was a hero who was evaluated for his spear handling skills reaching the level of a master.

The problem is that he has a hot-tempered temperament along with his skills.

In fact, Risbury had expected Colin to do this to some degree.

“Arthur. Because if you go out for nothing, you won’t be able to avoid trouble.”

“under! Me for Asians like that?”

Colin spoke to Risbury again, sarcastically.

“You’ve grown old and you’ve become a coward, Lisberry. Where did all the guts from hunting demons go?”

“In this case, let’s say you know where to stretch. So why don’t you tell me you’re wise, not cowardly?”

“It’s a common excuse for cowards.”

But Colin was still just sarcastic.

Risbury shrugged and said.

“Does that sound come out even though you’ve been dealing with Beserk yourself?”

“I can say this because I have dealt with it myself.”

Colin said with a slight frown.

“Because it was a monster that could never be killed.”

“·······”

At Colin’s words, Risbury was at a loss for words for a moment.

That’s because Risbury also agreed.

So in fact, most Cataclysm heroes didn’t believe that Seo Jun defeated Beserk.

In reality, the Distortion dungeons are not decreasing and are becoming more active.

“It must have been a slightly stronger dragon, not Bonama or Beserk.”

Colin was one of them.

Risberry, however, thought differently.

If it wasn’t for Beserk that Seojun defeated.

Is there any reason for Jinrihoe to keep its mouth shut and remain silent?

Is there any reason to see the circumstances that a great voice has moved?

“Maybe.”

But Risbury didn’t mention that fact.

To be precise, I didn’t bother stopping Colin.

‘I wonder what Seojun Kim’s skills will be like…’

It was true that Risberry was also curious about Seo-jun’s skills.

However, there is no reason to stop him saying that he will take care of it like that.

“Well, do your best.”

Lisberry just shrugged.
