◈ Episode 104. Difference in rank (2)
“!”
Rania’s arm, which was sticking her fist in front of Kim Joo-hyuk, is struck away by the sheath.
With that, Rania’s time slows down, as if in slow motion.
The first thing you see in time slowed down like slow motion is the silent sword that Kim Joo-hyuk is holding.
Rania felt both astonished and suspicious that her fist, which had the power to destroy this training center within a few blows if she wanted to, was suppressed by a sword sheath that was not even drawn.
Clearly, Kim Joo-hyuk’s scabbard did not contain the power to change Rania’s attack trajectory.
However, her hand was already moving towards Kim Joo-hyuk’s face, not towards it.
For that brief moment.
Wow!
“Kahak!?”
She realized that Kim Joo-hyuk’s sheath had hit her abdomen.
Pain felt intensely.
However, Rania seemed to have found this moment to be a good one and tried to grab the sheath of Kim Joo-hyuk, who had struck her in the stomach.
First of all, I thought that if I just grabbed the sword, I would be able to take a hit on Kim Joo-hyuk, who was clearly going to be embarrassed.
However.
“!”
The moment Rania’s hand reached her abdomen, Kim Joo-hyuk had already retrieved the sword sheath.
“I won.”
The next moment-
Baaaaaaaa!
Rania rolled her eyes and fell down as she felt a dull pain in her head.
Rania collapsed in the broken training center.
[It’s over.]
Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders at the sound of Barce’s voice.
“Well, now that I’ve roughly confirmed my skills, it’s a waste of time to keep doing this anymore, right?”
[Hmm, what did you think when you saw it?]
Barce’s question.
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think for a moment and then looked at Rania, who collapsed.
“It’s not that bad.”
He nodded and answered with an expression that said it wasn’t that bad.
The reason why he bothered to check Rania’s skills.
It was because of the constellations.
To be precise, it is because of the constellations that have just regained their names and it is not strange to run amok anytime and anywhere.
‘Well, I don’t know if I can handle everything on my own.’
Kim Joo-hyuk knew very well that this world did not work out the way he expected, and he also knew that the constellations would not work out well according to his convenience.
‘Well, if only one person comes out, I’ll accept it without any hesitation.’
What if two or three constellations appear at the same time?
‘No, actually, it doesn’t matter if two or three appear at the same time.’
It’s a bit harsh, but it can be handled along Kim Joo-hyuk’s lines.
But what if more numbers appear at once?
Additionally, what if several constellations appear from all over the world and start messing around?
In the former case, things could work out somehow, but in the latter case, it was not a very pleasant situation for Kim Joo-hyuk.
‘If you look at it purely from a convenience perspective, it would be better for everyone to spread out.’
However, that was only a convenient aspect, and it was obvious that when constellations emerged from various places like that, if there was no one other than Kim Joo-hyuk to stop them, the area would suffer great damage.
And Kim Joo-hyuk was not a psychopath who believed in throwing away people’s lives for his own gain.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk was thinking of making his own preparations depending on the level of combat power of Rania, a world rescue contractor.
‘Well, at this level, I don’t think I need to worry too much about preparing for other constellations to explode, right?’
That’s what Kim Joo-hyuk thought as he looked at Rania, who attacked him as if she were possessed.
Although the power she showed to Kim Joo-hyuk right away was a little lacking, it was enough to handle the constellations that Kim Joo-hyuk had faced so far.
‘I’m going to make it a bit worse for you.’
Still, it wasn’t a bad thing for Kim Joo-hyuk to have a few guys who could deal with the Constellations.
‘Well, I will continue to train Choi A-rin and Yan Lang in preparation for the future.’
Kim Joo-hyuk thought of Yan Lang, whom he had not heard from since going to Seolga, and Choi A-rin, who had recently collapsed from a wound suffered in a global competition.
Although those two were definitely growing at an amazing rate, they were still insufficient to fight the Constellation.
[Well, just by looking at this much, I think I can deal with those guys.]
While he was thinking like that, Kim Joo-hyuk stopped thinking when he heard Barce’s voice and answered.
“Do you think it will be a little difficult to win?”
[Hmm, I think I could win against Hong Gui or Hwacha, who I met last time, assuming they sign a Jinshin contract and even ‘Reincarnate’.]
“Oh, now that I think about it, there was also an apparition, right?”
[okay.]
Barce’s answer.
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to be thinking about something for a moment.
“No, but if you think about it, if you manifest as a constellation, shouldn’t you just win?”
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk did not know the names of the constellations, but considering that his disciples were classified as S-class, he thought that other constellations would have some power, although not as much as his disciples, so he expressed his doubts. .
Barce answered him.
[That is a wrong idea.]
“why?”

[I don’t know if your disciple directly uses the magic stone to manifest the body for a certain period of time like last time, but manifesting through the ‘True God Contract’ is a little different.]
Barche said that and told Kim Joo-hyuk about the difference between ‘incarnation’ and the ‘incarnation’ of the Jinshin contract.
“… … In short, manifesting just creates a body and comes out for a certain period of time, but there is no risk from the constellations, and making a true spirit contract and manifesting in the contractee’s body is less risky, but the vessel can’t hold up, so it can’t fight well?”
[I understood well.]
“No, how can you be in there and know everything I don’t know?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asks with genuine curiosity.
Barce spoke calmly.
[Is this something you learned in the first semester in the first place?]
“… … “In the first semester?”
[Yes, I learned that too very early on. I guess you weren’t able to hear it because you were sleeping.]
Barce’s words are filled with strange emotions.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled and laughed.
“I didn’t have to listen because you listened to everything.”
After saying that, he looked at Rania, who was still lying in the middle of the ruined sparring hall.
“Anyway, don’t you think it’s worth it just by manifesting with the Jinshin Contract?”
[Yes.]
“Jinshin Contract… … It’s a true contract… … .”
Soon, he began to think deeply, as if he was thinking about something.
####
A few hours later.
Remaining vacancy in Valhalla Dormitory.
Jump up!
“… … ?!”
Rania opened her eyes and quickly looked around.
What you see is the view of the Valhalla dormitory.
Rania, who was staring blankly at that scene, soon remembered the last thing she saw before fainting, along with her throbbing head.
At some point, he started randomly attacking Kim Joo-hyuk without controlling his strength, and at the last moment, he landed his head on the floor without being able to resist with two clean attacks.
“ah… … .”
The elasticity that bursts out at that.
Rania closed her eyes tightly due to a renewed sense of shame, but after a few minutes had passed.
“after… … .”
She calmed her mind and thought back to herself from before.
“under.”
Immediately, he laughed as if it was absurd.
That’s because the image he saw earlier was extremely ugly.
She clearly knew that Kim Joo-hyuk was hiding his strength, but because he had the status of an academy student, she implicitly thought that Kim Joo-hyuk was weaker than her.
She lost miserably in her fight with Kim Joo-hyuk.
No, in fact, in some ways, it couldn’t even be called a fight.
In the end, despite using the power of the constellation, she was never able to successfully attack Kim Joo-hyuk.
In addition, Kim Joo-hyuk eliminated Rania with just two blows.
That means Kim Joo-hyuk could deal with Rania whenever he wanted.
In short, she was no match for Kim Joo-hyuk in the first place.
“… … “You idiot.”
That’s why Rania cursed without realizing it and thought of herself from before.
In addition to the image of himself losing his temper while giving advice.
He felt very bad because he thought that Kim Joo-hyuk, a student, was ignoring him.
“… … .”
Thinking about herself and the fight that didn’t even seem like a fight with Kim Joo-hyuk, Rania admitted that her thoughts were wrong.
Because Kim Joo-hyuk was not just a student.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s advice was natural.
Kim Joo-hyuk’s disregard was very natural.
In the end, no matter what, he was definitely stronger than me.
especially.
‘Those last two rooms.’
In the two attacks that knocked Rania unconscious, Rania felt an overwhelming gap.
Even though Rania clearly saw Kim Joo-hyuk’s attack at that time, she was unable to prepare in any way.
No, it was correct to say that it was not that we were not prepared for that attack in the first place, but that we could not have prepared for it.
At least, the two attacks that Kim Joo-hyuk showed Rania at that time were enough to make me think that they were attacks that could not be prevented even if someone other than himself came.
And that too with the sword not even drawn from its sheath.
so that.
‘I want to learn too.’
Rather than feeling resentful of defeat, Rania felt a desire to learn for the first time in a long time.
“… … Kim Joo-hyuk.”
I mumbled that name.
####
“after.”
It was just past noon.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who finished training his magic power as usual today, was about to lie down in bed to sleep when he suddenly remembered the battle with Rania earlier and made a sad expression.
‘When I thought about it, I was going to experiment a little with the power of absorbing the freight car, but I just passed it on.’
Well, actually, Rania’s skills were a bit lacking for Kim Joo-hyuk to show off his skills properly.
‘Next time, should I cut down a mountain again?’
So Kim Joo-hyuk thought like that and prepared to lie down.
That moment.
Kim Joo-hyuk felt the now somewhat familiar sensation of his body floating.
“… … ?”
I realized that I had been summoned to a very old shack.
“long time no see.”
A voice heard as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk looks around.
Kim Joo-hyuk turned his head in a familiar way, and soon he could see the guide sitting at the end of the old shack.
A guide wearing a wide-brimmed hat looking at you.
“I know.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw her like that, greeted her leisurely and sat down opposite the guide, as if he was used to it.
“So, what’s going on this time?”
The guide smiled slightly at Kim Joo-hyuk, who immediately asked for the main point.
“I found it.”
“what?”
“How to open the ‘Arena’ you asked me before. I found it.”
I soon said that to Kim Joo-hyuk.
