Episode 71 – Place
Seo-jun really wondered if his eyes were wrong.
So I rubbed my eyes and rubbed them a few times, but the numbers on the screen didn’t change.
“47.3%? Does this make sense?”
Even so, Seo-joon couldn’t easily believe the figure.
It is also true that Seo-joon only listened to Hercules’ lecture once.
If you added the first orientation lecture, it could be said twice.
However, it was only once that I heard a proper lecture.
It wasn’t long before I was able to complete my daily tasks in one day, and I didn’t have time to listen to lectures about going to save Mancheol and Demonic Castle.
“What is this…”
Seojun pressed Hercules’ next lecture.
It was because I wondered if Hercules’ explanation for this phenomenon would be in the next lecture.
<There are unfinished tasks.>
<Please complete the task.>
“this···”
However, when I clicked on the next lecture, the lecture did not play with the pop-up window that popped up.
I felt like I had to do my daily assignments and check them out.
Seo-joon swallowed his regret and put his smartphone into his arms.
And just then.
“Seojun!”
A familiar voice came from behind Seo-joon.
Looking back, Seoyoon and Mancheol were hurriedly running.
After a while, Seoyoon gasped for breath as she approached Seojun first, followed by Mancheol.
“Why did you two come out?”
When Seo-jun tilted his head and asked, Man-cheol answered with a disapproving tone.
“Why is the plague coming out? Then will you stay there?”
“I can’t stay still… that’s right.”
Seojun immediately nodded.
Now, in that hospital room, there were swordsmen and demons.
In the meantime, thinking that I was left alone all alone, I fully understood the reason why I had no choice but to jump out.
Mancheol looked at Seojun who nodded and said.
“Rather than that, did you… really sell the Sword Master’s blue dragon sword?”
“Ah…that’s it.”
Seo-joon blurted out and evaded the answer.
However, for Mancheol, that could be a sufficient answer.
“Did you see such a crazy guy… I knew right away that you were a crazy guy… But really I am.”
Beyond being ridiculous, Mancheol had an expression that made him wonder if he was right.
“I will return it right away.”
“Patience.”
As Mancheol shook his head, Seoyoon followed suit.
“By the way, Seojun-san. Are you okay?”
“As expected… Seoyoon is the only one who worries about me.”
For a moment, Seo-joon had the illusion that Seo-yoon looked like an angel.
I knew right away that the appearance was pretty, but even the heart was this pretty…
“thank god. Then earn money quickly and bring the blue dragon sword. Otherwise, Grandpa might really kill you.”
“……”
Seo-joon’s shoulders drooped for no reason.
And seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon burst into a small laugh.
‘Well… I’m just glad I passed like this.’
So, Seo-jun trudged away leaving Seo-yoon and Man-cheol behind.
And how many steps did you walk?
“Seojun oppa?”
Seo-joon was able to run into Soo-yeon running into the hospital.
Startle.
At the same time, I could feel the movement of Mancheol trembling backwards.
“dad?”
Sure enough, Soo-yeon’s gaze passed Seo-joon and reached Man-cheol.
Mancheol’s gaze also quickly reached Suyeon.
“dad!”
And the moment their eyes met, Soo-yeon ran to Man-cheol’s arms in a month.
Mancheol hugged Suyeon with a half-embarrassed expression.
Normally, Mancheol was rough and crude, but only to Sooyeon, Mancheol was infinitely weak.
“I… I don’t have to go to the Hunter Academy.”
Soo-yeon, who was held in Man-cheol’s arms, cried and murmured.
Then Mancheol didn’t know what to do and started to wander around.
Seojun looked at the two of them without saying a word.
Su-yeon’s mother sacrificed herself to save Su-yeon due to a sudden dungeon break.
Man-cheol got into an accident while earning money to send Soo-yeon to the Hunter Academy.

If even Man-cheol had gone wrong, would Soo-yeon be able to bear the guilt?
Could I have forgiven myself for not being able to do anything?
“I won’t do anything like a pro hunter. therefore···”
Maybe Seo-joon wasn’t the only demon and Man-cheol that he saved from that dungeon.
“Suyeon-ah, the uncle says it’s okay. The doctor said there would be nothing wrong with treatment.”
“sister···”
Did they say that a woman knows her heart best?
Or is it because Seoyoon also has such pain?
Eventually, when Su-yeon fell away from Man-cheol, Seo-yoon began to soothe Su-yeon.
It seemed like the elder sister was comforting the younger brother, so Seo-joon wondered when they had become so close.
Seeing Seoyoon like that, Seojun suddenly felt like he had to do something.
So, as I slowly approached Mancheol, Mancheol suddenly turned his head.
“mister? Are you crying too?”
“…Seapearl. What is crying?”
Contrary to the words, Mancheol’s eyes were also bright red with a depressing voice.
Like that, Mancheol spat out the words only after a long time had passed.
“Seojun.”
“yes.”
When Seo-jun answered, Man-cheol said.
“…Thank you for saving me. really.”
still a hoarse voice.
“What.”
It was only then that Seo-joon could feel that everything had been resolved.
#
Did you say that the most beautiful scenery in the world is the one where everything returns to its original place?
As time passed, Seo-jun, Man-cheol, and Ma-seong were discharged from the hospital, and they were all able to return to their places according to their respective positions.
However, there were a few things that were different from before, the first of which was that Maseong took Suyeon as a disciple.
The day Su-yeon came to the hospital.
Ma-seong suggested to Su-yeon if she would like to become his disciple.
And first of all, Soo-yeon was surprised that Man-cheol was in the same hospital room as Ma-seong.
At the same time, I was surprised once again that Maseong offered to become a disciple.
Hearing why he accepted himself as a disciple, he was surprised once more.
“Ha, ha, ha, I will! I will definitely do it!”
And, of course, Soo-yeon did not deny it.
In addition, Seo-joon was able to receive the price of life promised by Maseong.
Its value was 10 billion won.
In fact, Seojun never thought he would receive this much.
I just wondered if it would be okay to spend this much, thinking of the 3 billion I received from Amseong.
“Good. I’ll give you something.”
I never dreamed that Maseong would readily accept it.
“Are you sure?”
“I didn’t say my life wasn’t that cheap.”
Of course, no matter how Maseong is the 5 heroes, 10 billion is definitely a burdensome amount.
But is it because, as he said, there are not many days left to die?
“I was trying to give back to society anyway. Don’t feel pressured and use it when you need it.”
Maseong did not seem to have much attachment to money.
So Seo-jun was able to receive 10 billion won, and took 500 million from there to get the blue dragon sword back.
And in the process of returning it, I was almost killed by the Sword Saint again… but I was able to hand it over safely.
In the end, it was unintentional, but through this incident, Seo-joon was able to win a huge sum of money of ‘9.5 billion’ with ‘Gungnir’.
In addition, to the progress of the Hercules River, which is 47.3%.
With the changed circumstances, Seo-joon was able to return to Dream Academy again.
Dream Academy is the only one that does not change and keeps its place.
Maybe that’s why Seo-joon felt like he was at home at Dream Academy.
“female! friend! You’re finally back!”
When he opened the door of Dream Academy, Seo-joon was able to face a person he had forgotten about.
Seo-jun said to Min-yul, who was approaching him with strides.
“hey. don’t you worry about me How can you not come to visit us?”
“no! I was very worried! But my sister said it was okay, so I just did it. Above all, you are a great friend! I thought you would get up soon.”
“……Yes, yes.”
Along with Dream Academy, Minyul also seemed to be the same.
Seo-jun shook his head and greeted Seo-yoon.
“Mr. Seoyoon. I am here.”
“Oh, are you here? How are you feeling?”
“yes. There is nothing wrong.”
After such a simple greeting, Seo-joon immediately carried out the Hercules daily task.
Seeing such an appearance of Seo-jun, Min-yul also continued training by himself, seeing the secret level of Amseong.
“God…ahhh!”
“Ha! hot! Are you doing this?”
A landscape where everything has returned to its place.
The sound of the two students training resonated throughout the Dream Academy.
It’s been such a long time.
Seojun was able to complete all of Hercules’ daily tasks.
And is it because of the lecture progress rate of 47.3%?
Seo-joon was able to complete Hercules’ daily tasks faster than usual.
Then, Seo-joon immediately replayed Hercules’ lecture.
Originally, he had to carry out Jang Sam-bong and Merlin’s daily tasks, but there was something more urgent than that.
Hold on.
.
.
[In the last lecture, I mentioned what divine power is.]
[And maybe there are students who truly realize the meaning of that divine power. It’s really not easy, but… very occasionally, there are students like that.]
[Perhaps the student is perplexed by the sudden progress of the lecture. yes?]
Hearing Hercules’ words that seemed to pierce his heart, Seo-joon felt a pang inside.
Then Hercules laughed heartily.
[No surprise. In the first place, this lecture is a lecture to teach divine power. In a word, the progress rate of the lecture has increased because you realized what you are teaching in this lecture.]
[but!]
[That’s why I don’t need to listen to this lecture anymore. That’s a thousand words! After all, bean cake!]
Hercules continued by pointing his finger at the front of the screen.
[Being aware of it and being able to use it to the fullest is another matter. Perhaps the meaning of realizing divine power means that you have tried using it.]
[Think about what happened after using that divine power.]
Seojun was able to understand Hercules’ words at once.
It was also because Seo-jun lost his mind as soon as he used his divine power.
[Divine power is a power close to the source. In order to fully use that near-infinite power, he needs a vessel to support him.]
[Therefore, unless you have a body that has been trained and forged to the limit, you cannot withstand the divine power yourself.]
[This is why I emphasize the importance of muscles in this lecture. It is to make a physical vessel to use divine power.]
[So, if there are any students who have realized their divine power, don’t be conceited! At the same time, there is no need for students who have not realized their divine power to be frustrated!]
[Because if you train and forge your body, that realization will come someday!]
[In that sense, the real lecture starts now! Ugh!]
.
.
“That’s why it only rose 47.3%.”
It was also the reason why it rose by 47.3% at the same time.
In summary, Seo-jun could use his divine power, but he could only use it once because his body couldn’t withstand it.
“Still, if you complete Hercules’ lecture, you can freely use divine power like reverse divergence, right?”
To be able to use it without being conscious of its overwhelming power.
Seo-joon’s body trembled without realizing it.
So Seo-joon continued to attend Hercules’ lectures.
And perhaps because he realized the concept of divine power, Hercules’ lecture was not that difficult.
It was literally a lecture to train the body to support the divine power.
“Um… do you have some time left?”
Maybe that’s why I had more time left than I thought.
Like other lectures, it was not a realization, but a steady effort.
“If you do this, we might be able to take one more lecture.”
Currently, the lecture Seojun is taking is Shakyamuni and Merlin from Freepass.
And there were a total of four individual lectures, Jang Sam-bong and Hercules.
When I first encountered the transcendent academy, it was too much for me to even attend 3 lectures, but now I am able to afford it even after taking 4 lectures.
“I have money just in time… but there is no option for Jecheon Daeseong lectures.”
Jecheon Daeseong’s Rannachal lecture is 27 billion won.
9.5 billion was not enough.
“Should I rather buy an elixir?”
So, Seo-jun thought about purchasing an elixir instead of a lecture.
The reason was none other than Gungnir.
The effectiveness of Gungnir was confirmed in the last dungeon, as long as there was enough mana to recover, it was no different from a walking bomber.
And the transcendent shop sold elixirs that would supplement Seo-joon’s lack of mana.
Nectar, a divine liquor called the wine of the gods.
Nectarine, a heavenly fruit.
Gongqing Petroleum (空淸石乳), which collects the energy of the earth that falls drop by drop every thousand years.
“……I think lectures are better.”
However, Seo-jun quickly shook his head.
Aside from all other reasons, it was because he had to learn mana practice in order to fully absorb the energy of the elixir.
“In that sense, shall we take the Mana Training course?”
If you think about it, it was also a lecture that I had to learn anyway.
Although there was Merlin’s lecture, strictly speaking, it was about understanding mana, not mana practice.
That’s why the mentor recommended listening to it in an intermediate lecture, but added that it doesn’t matter if you listen to it as long as it becomes causal.
Above all, training is always done by Seo-jun himself.
At the time, I thought it would be good to learn while I can learn now that I have a large sum of 9.5 billion.
After thinking this far, Seojun opened the 1:1 message box and left a long message to the mentor.
The main point was that he was going to take a mana seniority lecture, and was asked if there was anything he could recommend.
“I said I’d be in touch within a week, so I’ll be back soon.”
That’s when I tried to put my smartphone in.
Tring!
A notification sounded that a message had been replied to.
“what? Did you get an answer right away?”
A knife reply is also a knife reply, but it was a bit embarrassing for Seo-joon, who knew he would find it himself.
Well, it was enough to get information anyway, so Seo-joon opened the message box right away.
Hold on.
<There is an inner core method and a mana practice method, but if you seek stability, the inner core method. If you are looking for efficiency, you can choose the mana training method.>
<And if it’s a mental method, instructor Jang Sam-bong or Leo Dong-bin are good. If you go to the mana practice method, Instructor Arthur or Instructor Siegfried is recommended!>
<However, everything that suits each individual is different, so I recommend you to listen to the sample lecture yourself!>
He was a mentor who recommended a lot of things.
And it seems that something is different depending on whether it is stability or efficiency, but first, the price was checked first.
“Let’s check it out.”
Seojun connected to the transcendent academy again and checked the lectures recommended by the mentor.
[The first step towards the Uhwa Deungseon. Internal Mind Law. (Instructor: Sambong Jang)]
[Anguish in the mind. meet the whole self Cheondunsimbeop (天遁心法). (Instructor: Geomseon Yeo Dong-bin)]
[The Aura of the Round Table that combines the wisdom of Merlin and the know-how of the Knights of the Round Table. (Instructor: Arthur Pendragon)]
[Power like a seething dragon. Dragon Aura. (Instructor: Siegfried)]
“I feel it every time, but the instructors… I can’t adapt.”
Seo-joon shook his head and checked the cost of each lecture.
<Training fee: 10,000,000,000 ￦>
And all the same, 10 billion.
That was a crazy price.
“this···”
Still, it was somehow possible because there was 10 billion won from the devil.
However, after spending 500 million to return the blue dragon sword, the remaining money is 9.5 billion.
5 billion was not enough.
Of course, from now on, if you collect them one by one through raids, you can collect 500 million.
However, Seo-joon’s status was still a student, so it took some time to earn through dungeon raids.
However, he couldn’t bring the blue dragon sword and sell it, so he couldn’t.
Now, there was only one way for Seo-joon to earn a lump sum of money at once.
Seo-jun quietly approached Seo-yoon and said carefully.
“I… Seoyoon.”
“yes?”
Seeing Seoyoon answering with a slight surprise, Seojun immediately told the business.
“Are there any academy competitions in the near future?”
“A contest?”
Seoyoon tilted her head.
Then he said to Seo-joon with a puzzled expression.
“Could it be that you need money again?”
Seojun nodded slowly.
Then Seo-yoon jumped up from her seat and shouted at Seo-jun.
“no! Where the hell do you spend your money? Money every time! money! Are you singing?”
“Oh, no… that’s…”
At Seoyoon’s sudden words, Seojun had no words to reply.
And is it because of Seo-jun’s reaction?
“What kind of money bug are you raising?”
Seoyoon was really absurd.
That would also be the case because Seoyoon knew that Seojun had received a considerable amount of money from Maseong.
I don’t know the exact amount, but it must have been a huge amount since I received it in the name of the cost of my life.
Because it was the life of a demon.
But after only a few days, they say they need money.
Does this bastard money bug earn money like that and then look for money again?
To be honest, even a money bug wouldn’t eat money like this.
What’s even more absurd is that Seo-joon was living in a single room even though he was earning money like that.
I was so dumbfounded when I found out…
So, with an honest heart, when Seo-jun said that he had received money from Maseong, he thought he would at least buy a house.
And I knew how to buy a nice car with a little extravagance.
Why isn’t owning a sports car a man’s dream?
However, Seo-jun still lives in a single room.
Instead of an expensive sports car, he takes a taxi.
Where are you going to spend that much money?
Does the money even evaporate?
And the reason I wanted to become a professional hunter in the first place was to earn money to spend in such a place.
But looking at Seo-joon, it seemed like he was just trying to earn money to spend money.
To be honest, even if I decided to write it, I wouldn’t be able to write it like this.
“I will go crazy too.”
And in fact, Seo-joon was on the verge of going crazy.
No matter how this bastard’s transcendent academy went on, no matter how much money he earned, there was no end.
The 27 billion Jecheon Daeseong lecture is far away, but the mentor said it was an intermediate lecture.
That means it’s a high-level lecture, and the ‘Cheonwolyuseongbong’ of Jecheondaeseong, which Seo-joon aims for, is said to be more powerful than that.
Seo-joon couldn’t imagine how much he would receive.
“ha···”
“ha···”
Seojun and Seoyoon sighed in different ways.
Seoyoon then shook her head and said.
“There is a competition in the near future.”
“How much is the prize money?”
At Seo-jun’s sudden question, Seo-yoon decided to just give up on her thoughts.
“If you win… 3 billion won.”
“Three billion!”
“But there is a problem.”
When Seo-jun tilted his head, Seo-yoon immediately continued.
“This competition can only be entered as a team.”
“A team?”
“yes. Up to three students from the same academy can participate.”
At Seoyoon’s words, Seojun felt dazed for a moment.
It was also because the only students at Dream Academy were Minyul and Seojun.
Seojun slightly turned his head to look at Minyul.
“aha! You’re doing this!”
Min-yul was still training hard by himself while watching the secret level of the dark castle.
And with the Min-yul that Seo-joon had seen so far, even if they competed with the same team, they would do their part well enough.
In fact, maybe Seojun and Minyul.
Two people might not be enough.
However, according to the regulations, it was impossible to participate without three people.
That’s why I had to find one more person, but I couldn’t suddenly recruit students.
More than anything else, even if they recruited so suddenly, the question is whether they can trust the student…
‘hmm?’
At that moment, a figure passed through Seo-jun’s mind.
It was a person who suddenly came to mind while looking at Min-yul, who was training alone as a secret star.
‘Suyeon?’
It was none other than Soo-yeon, who became the disciple of Maseong this time.
