◈ Episode 111. Why are you here? (2)
Currently, a lot of very confusing things are happening in the world.
The most representative incident was the Hero Academy terrorist incident.
Next, global terrorism broke out.
Not long after that, the American Contractors Association, which could be said to be the world’s first association, was completely destroyed by a terrorist attack.
however.
Even though the world was in turmoil, the Choi Jin family’s home had been in a pretty good mood lately.
The reason was Choi Arin, who is currently designated as the full-fledged successor to the Choi Jin family.
That’s because after Choi Arin officially became the successor to the Choi Jin family, she signed a contract with the Constellation and was in the spotlight as if she had wings on her back.
Therefore, Choi Jon-seok, the head of the Choi Jin family and Choi A-rin’s father, looked at his daughter facing him and opened his mouth as if he were proud.
“I said it during my last visit to the hospital, but I’m proud of you. “Even though it was canceled due to an unfortunate incident, we ranked first in the world competition.”
Jonseok Choi’s words.
Choi A-rin responded by nodding her head once without any special expression.
It’s an emotionless expression that makes anyone think he’s being a little rude to his father.
However, Choi Jon-seok did not care much about Choi A-rin’s appearance.
No, in the first place, Choi Jon-seok knew very well that he had no right to criticize her for her bad habits.
In any case, it was true that he favored his son, Choi Jin-geon, and he had not given her any convenience until now.
So Jonseok Choi didn’t mind if she didn’t react in any way.
No, on top of that, I didn’t really have any desire to ask people to think of me as their father.
All he wants is for Choi A-rin to continue the Choi Jin family.
That was all Choi Jon-seok wanted, and Choi A-rin fit very well with Choi Jon-seok’s ideal successor.
In some ways, even more so than his own son, Choi Jin-geon.
‘No, it can’t even be compared to my son.’
Choi Jin-geon has clearly achieved such great growth that Choi Jon-seok has his own expectations.
However, Choi A-rin was now growing beyond what Choi Jon-seok expected.
‘That way… … .’
Choi Jon-seok recalled a few days ago when Choi A-rin participated in the world competition.
No, to be exact, this is what Choi A-rin looked like when she was surrounded by more than 50 students in the second survival game of the World War.
She took first place in the first match of the third server competition in the world competition, and some students formed an alliance to try to take down Choi A-rin, who took first place.
However, the result was a crushing defeat for the students.
okay.
A total of 56 students gathered to catch Choi A-rin, and as soon as the survival began, they all rushed at Choi A-rin and tried to knock her down.
All of them, without exception, were eliminated by Choi Arin.
Everyone attacked Choi Arin.
Not a single person is left out.
They were all overpowered by Choi Arin.
Thanks to this, even though there were many different highlight scenes on the second day of the world competition, only Choi Arin’s highlight video took first place.
In fact, she was able to gain so much popularity in this global competition that even now, videos about Choi Arin are constantly circulating in some places.
‘It would have been nice if the war against the world had ended well without terrorism.’
From Choi Jon-gun’s point of view, that was a regret.
The global war ended in terrorism, and the opportunity to enhance the reputation of the Choi Jin family disappeared.
However, on the other hand, apart from one thing that was disappointing, this world competition was good for Choi Jon-seok in many ways.
He knew that Choi A-rin’s talent was extraordinary.
This was because I was confident that she would definitely raise the Choi Jin family higher and higher than the other five major families in Korea.
Therefore, Choi Jon-seok wanted to start training his successor in earnest in order to place her as the successor to the Choi Jin family as soon as possible.
Unlike Choi Jin-geon, whom she trained in advance, she did not receive training as a successor.
In fact, the reason Choi Jon-seok called her today was to talk about successor education.
The moment when Jonseok Choi was about to open his mouth to Arin Choi, who was looking at him with an expressionless face.
Ugh-!
When Choi A-rin heard the vibrating sound, she immediately took out her smartphone even though Choi Jon-seok was in front of her.
However, Jonseok Choi likewise did not say anything.
I just thought that if I were to educate my successor in the future, I should at least teach them basic etiquette.
That’s why Choi Jon-seok looked at Choi A-rin for a moment.
soon.
Hwaaah-!
“… … ?”
Jonseok Choi couldn’t help but be embarrassed without even realizing it.
That’s right too.
‘… … ‘You’re laughing?’
This was because Choi A-rin, who had clearly never seen her smile before, was smiling brightly as she looked at her smartphone.
A bit of confusion he felt.
However, not long after, Choi A-rin carefully pressed something on her smartphone, then put the smartphone away and looked at Choi Jon-seok again.
Choi Arin becomes expressionless again.
“… … .”
“… … .”
What on earth did you see on your smartphone at that moment? The question filled Jonseok Choi’s throat, but he immediately shook his head.
Because that wasn’t really what he wanted to say.
“Hmm.”

Therefore, Jonseok Choi cleared his throat and cleared his voice.
“From now on, I would like to teach successor classes.”
I started explaining one by one the reasons why I had called her here today.
and.
“Yes, I will.”
Jonseok Choi looked satisfied as he saw Arin Choi immediately accept his answer without even thinking about it, as if she didn’t have to think about anything else.
This was because Choi Jon-seok was secretly thinking that Choi A-rin may have signed a contract with the Guardian Constellation and messed things up out of pointless rebellion.
That’s why Jonseok Choi smiled as if everything went well.
‘… … If I bring you the whole family, it will definitely help Joo-hyuk, right?’
-Not knowing the thoughts of Choi A-rin, who is thinking of giving away the entire family that she cherishes more than anything else to someone else.

“… … To put it simply, Duguwi, your constellation, said that he would call me when I needed him and that he would appear at that time and help me… … “Is this what you mean?”
“you’re right.”
A man wearing a skull mask politely bows his head and answers Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Kim Joo-hyuk took one look at the four men and women prostrating in front of him and made a strange expression.
The man who was answering Kim Joo-hyuk’s words one by one was wearing a skull mask with raised horns, and the woman prostrating behind him was wearing a skull mask.
Next to him, a man with his eyes covered and a man wearing a hood were also prostrate.
Even on the outside, they don’t have any of the same features and have a very unique outfit.
However, even though they wore such unique outfits, they had one characteristic in common.
It’s a tattoo.
‘… … ‘That’s it.’
Although he had not noticed it earlier because it had appeared so quickly, Kim Joo-hyuk soon checked the tattoos on his arms and legs.
The character ‘一’ written in rough handwriting was engraved on their bodies.
And with that alone, Kim Joo-hyuk was able to know the identity of the student who wrote the letter ‘一’.
Kim Joo-hyuk knows very well in detail whose handwriting that is currently drawn all over their bodies was imitated.
‘no… … In fact, there is no need to identify it.’
In the first place, there was no way to identify the tattoo by looking at it.
Even without looking at that tattoo, Kim Joo-hyuk knew two reasons why he could very well understand who the Ilgyo constellation that had just appeared was.
The first is that even though Kim Joo-hyuk had not yet found his prime strength, his ability to hide was enough to deceive him.
And the very second thing was that these guys jumped out in response to the word ‘timid’.
So, in fact, there was only one conclusion, so Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth to the man wearing a skull mask prostrate in front of him.
“Give me some holy relics.”
“yes. All right.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, the man wearing the skull mask immediately took out a red glove from his arms without a single word of doubt.
Gloves with red metal decoration on the edges of the gloves.
The man wearing the skull mask raised the gloves he took out from his arms as if offering them to Kim Joo-hyuk.
Kim Joo-hyuk picked up the gloves he offered as if there was no need to say anything.
The consciousness of being sucked into the glove at that moment.
What Kim Joo-hyuk saw along with that.
“… … .”
To him, it was a very familiar scene, a scene from 300 years ago.
The sky and the moon were shining beautifully in purple, and the shape of a shattered city could be seen in the distance.
The ground on which he was standing was cracked wide open, and in front of Kim Joo-hyuk, there was a completely dry land without a single plant.
“… … .”
A perfect landscape from 300 years ago, with not a single strange thing to be found.
Kim Joo-hyuk felt as if he had returned to the past after a long time and turned his gaze here and there.
He suddenly realized that there was a very familiar building behind him.
A manor built in a very old-fashioned way that no one would see fit for in this ruined world.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw the words ‘Mushinmun (武神門)’ written in the middle of the manor, looked blankly at the building as if it was something very new, and then burst into laughter.
Just seeing this building stand made Kim Joo-hyuk feel like his student hadn’t changed at all.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and looked at Musinmun, which was his residence 300 years ago and also the residence of his disciples.
Soon, when Kim Joo-hyuk turned his gaze away from the newspaper, the disciple was prostrating in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
Wearing the same armor as before.
In the same posture as before.
He was quietly prostrating in front of Kim Joo-hyuk.
“… … .”
A moment of silence.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk soon burst into laughter without realizing it.
All of the students he had met so far had not changed much from the past, but she had not changed at all.
If Kim Joo-hyuk needs to be found, he hides quietly and then shows up.
He even never opens his mouth until Kim Joo-hyuk speaks first.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk remembered his student from 300 years ago and smiled without even realizing it.
“A long time.”
Kim Joo-hyuk gave his first greeting in 300 years to his disciple who was prostrating in front of him.
