Transcension Academy Chapter 140

Chapter 140 – Italian Hero (2)

“Hunter Kim Seo-joon?”

jump!

As soon as I heard Seo-joon’s voice, the door opened with a bang.

What was visible through the open door was Samuele, the Prime Minister of Italy.

“Awake, you’re awake!”

Samuele found Seo-jun sitting on the bed and ran to him in a month.

Then he asked Seo-joon with a worried expression.

“The condition… How is the condition? Are you all right?”

Behind Samuele, along with Elena, Antonio and Marcello were seen.

Seojun shrugged and replied.

“Ah yes. Nothing special other than a little soreness.”

stop.

At Seo-jun’s words, Elena, Antonio, and Marcello’s bodies froze.

And a common thought that pops into their heads.

‘It’s sore…?’

‘It’s sore…?’

‘It’s sore…?’

That would be the case when Demogorgon was annihilated.

The power that Seojun showed was overwhelming, so it was truly transcendent.

The thrill I felt when I faced that power was still vivid to this day.

That’s why Seojun also crossed the threshold of death in return.

To be honest, they thought that Seo-joon would still not wake up.

But it’s not enough to be upright right now, so it’s all about feeling stiff…?

The three of them just looked at Seo-joon with absurd eyes.

“Fortunately, the. I am very fortunate.”

Only Samuele, a non-awakened person who watched the scene from a distance, nodded.

Samuele turned his gaze away from Seojun and looked at the Dream Team.

“Others…”

In response to Samuele’s question, each member of the team spat out a word.

“What are we…”

“As you can see, no big deal! haha!”

“Not at all.”

“Nothing wrong.”

Only then could Samuele relieve his worries with a sigh of relief.

And the words of Seo-joon that followed.

“He said he had something more to say… hehe.”

Samuele nodded and said.

“You’re still not feeling well, so there’s no need to waste time. I’ll start with the main point.”

Then Samuele turned his head slightly.

Then Marcello and Elena took a step forward.

They both had several documents in their hands.

Marcello checked the papers and opened his mouth slowly.

“This is the profit from the monster corpses processed by Hunter Kim Seo-joon. There are so many of them that I haven’t been able to process them all yet, but the approximate profit is…”

Marcello handed over the papers and opened his mouth again.

“We expect revenues of around 90 million euros.”

“90 million euros!”

Seo-joon’s eyes swelled open without even realizing it.

It was because 90 million euros was about 120 billion won in Korean currency.

Monsters in twisted dungeons all over Italy.

Profits were greater than expected, probably because the rank was quite high like a monster of Distortion.

And the reward was just the beginning.

“We, the mafia, have also prepared a reward to repay you for your hard work.”

After Marcello, Antonio took a step forward and spoke up.

“This time Francesco and Agnes have made a lot of money through illegal activities. When were you doing these things…”

Antonio smiled bitterly and continued.

“Although the money was earned illegally, the money must be spent. Money he wouldn’t have gotten anyway if it wasn’t for you. We have agreed to give it to you.”

And the funds are approx.

“It is estimated to be around 7.5 billion euros.”

7.5 billion euros.

If you convert it to Korean Won, it is approximately.

‘Ten trillion!!!!!!’

It was a staggering amount of money, amounting to 10 trillion won.

Seo-joon’s eyes began to turn over.

“There may be more hidden assets in Sicily, but as you know, Sicily is…”

Antonio muttered in a regretful tone, but Seo-joon did not hear.

It was a whopping 10 trillion! 10 trillion!

‘Ahhh···!’

Seo-joon’s mind started to get confused.

And in that confused mind, Samuele slowly opened his mouth.

“If it wasn’t for Hunter Kim Seo-joon… Italy would have come to an end.”

Samuele still couldn’t forget that despair.

When the mafia goes crazy and twisted monsters massacre the people.

When the countries of the same European Union turned away from themselves saying that they were busy living.

Especially when facing the Demogorgon.

Samuele still couldn’t forget that endless despair.

I couldn’t forget the helplessness of not being able to do anything.

The Dream Team, who willingly reached out a hand in that sense of hopelessness and helplessness.

They were practically the same as saving the country of Italy.

“In fact, I wondered if it would be right to compensate this gratitude with money. So I thought of other rewards… But the Dream Team said that money would be best.”

When Seo-joon turned his head at Samuele’s words, the team members let out awkward smiles.

Seo-joon quietly raised his chin at the judgment of the team members.

He then gulped and swallowed and waited for Samuele’s words.

Italy’s prime minister, Samuele, who can move the national budget.

Samuele quietly handed out a piece of paper to Seo-jun.

And the amount written there is… 30 billion euros.

It was about 40 trillion won in Korean currency.

So, the total compensation received through this work is 50.12 trillion won.

‘5, ,5, 50 trillion!!!!!!!!!!’

Seo-joon passed out for a moment beyond feeling dizzy because he was confused.

Article 50.

This was a really ridiculous amount.

How absurd is this.

Jesus, who got a job as a carpenter, received about 70 million won as a ‘daily wage’, which was money he had to work to earn.

The last Neanderthal, who went extinct 30,000 years ago, received an annual salary of 1.6 billion won, which was money that could only be saved if he was still alive.

A truly unbelievable amount.

No, it was a huge amount of money that could not be explained with such words.

“Ah… ah ah…!!”

Beyond being electrocuted by lightning, Seo-joon’s body trembled as if he had received a supernatural power.

However, what drove Seo-joon even more crazy was the words of Seo-yoon, who immediately followed him.

“In fact, we have already heard about the reward. So we discussed it a little bit, but we’ll just take a small amount.”

“·······!!!”

Seo-joon’s expression is stained with shock.

The team members added a word to Seo-joon’s expression.

“In fact, the mafia-related work was done by the captain alone. It is right that the captain receives all the money that Antonio gives.”

“Honestly… the same goes for the Demogorgon.”

“Because we were just helping.”

And I said it was trivial, but in fact, the first trillion was not trivial.

Even if it was just 1 trillion, it was 600,000 won every day since the Dangun myth, and it was money that I couldn’t save even if I saved it until now.

In the general case… No, even in the light of professional hunters, 1 trillion was indeed an enormous amount of money.

As the budget of the national unit moved, the unit was literally going crazy.

Anyway, if you distribute 1 trillion to each team member, Seo-joon receives a whopping 46 trillion.

‘Article 46!!!!!!!!!!’

And 120 billion!

In the end, Seo-joon couldn’t stand it and took out his smartphone from his arms.

I almost lost my smartphone because of my trembling hands, but I managed to access the Transcendent Shop.

The cause and effect of the last transcendent store that was 15 billion.

The next karma of the transcendental shop increased by purchasing the elixir is…

[Imitation] – Seondo (仙桃).

<￦ 35,000,000,000>

It was only 35 billion.

At the word 35 billion, the modifiers ‘only’ and ‘something like’ have been attached!

In this case, elixirs were not a problem at all.

I was able to buy other equipment from the Transcendent Shop as much as I wanted!

I was able to directly leave 100 reviews posted on the community!

‘Ji, ji, let’s calm down…!’

Seo-joon took a few deep breaths in excitement.

Even so, it was an instant for cause and effect to rise, so I shouldn’t have bought it at random.

After repeating such deep breathing, Samuele opened his mouth again.

“It’s really nothing compared to the hard work that Hunter Kim Seo-jun did, but… but it’s the best we can do…”

As a result, things worked out well, but Italy suffered too much damage from this incident.

The Great Depression paralyzed the country.

For the time being, Italy would be busy recovering from this damage.

Even so, taking out these budgets was literally the best Samuele could do.

“And… Kim Seo-joon Hunter.”

Samuele opened his mouth slowly with a desperate expression.

“If you’ll excuse me… can I ask you one favor?”

“Sure. Please speak.”

Seojun nodded happily.

I receive 50 trillion, but what kind of favors can I not listen to?

If asked to capture the Demogorgon again, he was willing to do so.

‘Ah, that’s not it.’

anyway.

At Seojun’s words, Samuele slowly opened his mouth.

“Could you please walk down the streets of Rome just once?”

#

Italy’s capital, Rome.

There was a huge crowd there.

The people who heard the news of Seo-jun and went up to Rome.

People who want to meet Seo-Jun at least once.

Such people gathered together and filled the streets and eyes.

Seo-joon stared blankly at them in the car.

Next to Seojun, Samuele slowly opened his mouth.

“Italy has suffered so much from this incident.”

Andrea, the hero of the cataclysm, has disappeared into the past.

I felt lonely at the sight of the allies ignoring help.

Just when I thought it was the end, I heard a ray of hope.

People were able to find the will to live by looking at Seo-jun.

That will has once again made it possible for Italy to move forward.

And now those who have to overcome those wounds and move forward.

“Can you give our people hope once again?”

Seojun could not refuse Samuele’s request.

Seo-joon got out of the car without hesitation.

The members of the Dream Team followed suit.

Then, the tumult of the crowd suddenly became quiet.

hundreds of thousands. No, almost millions of people quietly raised their eyes and looked at Seo-joon.

Seo-joon met their eyes and walked slowly between them.

The people on the path Seo-joon was walking obediently opened the way.

A feeling of mixed feelings.

At that moment, someone blocked Seo-jun’s path.

it was a tiny little girl

And somewhere familiar child.

“Sa-Sa-ya!!”

It was none other than a child named ‘Sarah’ whom Seojun saved from the Death Knight the other day.

The woman who seemed to be a mother could not hide her embarrassment at Sarah’s sudden intrusion.

“this.”

But Sara didn’t care and handed a picture to Seo-jun.

There were letters written on it, but since it was written in Italian, I couldn’t make out what it meant.

However, the crudely drawn picture was expressing Seo Jun defeating the Death Knight.

“thank you.”

Seo-jun carefully accepted the picture.

Then he stroked Sarah’s hair.

“Hee hee.”

Then Sarah bashishly laughed and sprinted to where her mother was.

Seo-joon looked at the picture with that figure and put it in the key system.

And then he moved on again.

Behind Seo-joon’s steps, people bowed their heads one by one.

Wherever Seo-joon’s footsteps passed.

Wherever Seojun’s eyes passed.

People’s sincere greetings were seen and heard.

how long did it take

I could see the crowd standing in an orderly manner in front of me.

Just like the military ceremony of the knights in the Middle Ages, the appearance was undisturbed.

There were tens of thousands of professional hunters and tens of thousands of mafia lined up splitting left and right.

And at the forefront of tens of thousands of professional hunters, Marcello.

Antonio stood at the forefront of tens of thousands of mafia.

Above it, helicopters from numerous broadcasting companies were flying, broadcasting the scene all over Italy.

“Let’s go.”

Samuele guided us with a hearty smile.

Was that what you asked for in the first place?

Seo-jun moved with a confused feeling.

As he got closer, Antonio and Marcello appeared to step forward to Seo-jun at the same time.

chuck.

Then, he clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his left chest.

Following him, professional hunters and mafia clenched their right hand into a fist and placed it on their left chest.

chuck!

The restrained sound resonated hotly.

Then Marcello and Antonio opened their mouths in turn.

“We, the Pro Hunter Association, take over the will of Hunter Kim Seo-joon and swear here.”

“We Mafia take over the will of Hunter Kim Seo-joon and swear here.”

President of the Pro Hunter Association, Marcello.

Andrea’s successor, Antonio.

The two took turns talking.

“I will follow your will and respect and protect the weak.”

“I will defend honor and glory with valor and justice.”

“I will despise injustice, meanness, and deceit.”

“I will never refuse a challenge that comes my way with a sincere heart.”

“Your pain will soon become our pain.”

“Your joy will soon become our joy.”

“Wherever your call is, it will be answered.”

“Your enemies will soon become our enemies.”

Marcello slowly got down on one knee toward Seo-jun.

Tens of thousands of professional hunters lined up behind him and got down on one knee at the same time.

Antonio slowly got down on one knee toward Seo-jun.

Tens of thousands of mafia lined up behind them all got down on one knee at the same time.

And a lot of people standing in the field.

Tens of millions of Italians watching on TV.

I was watching the majestic spectacle.

momentary silence.

Marcello and Antonio opened their mouths at the same time.

“We will remember Seojun Kim and the entire Dream Team as heroes of Cataclysm.”

“We will regard you as the father of the entire family and we swear we are your children.”

Capo Di Tutti Capi.

A term referring to both the godfather of the mafia and the hero of cataclysm representing Italy.

after Andrea’s death.

Thought it would never be used again.

“What are you doing, Seojun? You have to say something. Everyone is waiting for you.”

Seoyoon’s voice came with a daze.

Following Seoyoon’s words, he turned his gaze and all the people who filled their eyes were looking at Seojun.

In each of the people’s eyes, there was something incomprehensible sincerity.

A feeling of exhilaration in the chest.

I smile without even realizing it.

Money is good too.

Seojun also liked seeing these people.

No, I thought that perhaps the reason Seo-joon is obsessed with money is to see these people.

People say that results are everything in life.

That’s not wrong.

More than anything, Seojun also thought so.

However, through a series of experiences he had been through so far, Seo-joon was able to know it now.

That’s only what I’m talking about when fighting enemies.

If the process is good, even if the result is bad, people will stay by your side.

The result is not just the destination.

I feel cramped thinking that arrival is more important than process, and efficiency is more important than experience.

Perhaps this was the true reward that Seo-joon received right now.

Seo-joon suddenly came up with such a thought.

I hope you are happy.

Everyone watching this spectacle.

Of course, what they went through was hell, far from happiness.

This incident has resulted in numerous casualties.

Someone’s brother, lover, friend, family.

Losing precious people to monsters and suffering incurable wounds.

They didn’t say anything, but each person who was sacrificed was buried in the hearts of those gathered here.

As seen in the agony of spirituality in the past, there were many hidden sacrifices.

There must have been those who suffered to survive.

There must have been some who despaired at the hopelessness of living in the future.

many.

There were too many silent screams.

For someone who is truly struggling, comforting them to cheer up is worse than not doing it.

Happiness to them may be no more than a mere deception.

I want you to be happy nonetheless.

Even if it seems that there is no longer a sweet thing called justice in the world.

Even if the reality is that if you believe in hope, it will come as a bigger disappointment.

I hope you are happy.

Just as a caterpillar who lived for a day could finally become a butterfly when he thought the world was over.

even in the most desperate circumstances.

Even when faced with an unavoidable fate.

If we don’t give up on finding the meaning of life, we will always be able to recover.

Seojun quietly closed his eyes.

Then he took a deep breath and cried out.

“Everyone, be happy!!!”

Seo-joon’s voice filled with mana resonated loudly.

The surroundings become quiet for an instant.

“Keukkeuk…”

In the middle of that quiet silence, someone’s laughter was suddenly heard.

“Poop!”

“Kuk!”

And it began to spread rapidly among people like an epidemic.

Unbearable laughter erupted from all over the place.

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Loud laughter reverberates throughout Italy.

Seo-joon waved vigorously at them.

Although now their lives have not yet reached complete happiness.

“I will be happy! very like a whale!”

“Puhahahahaha!”

“hahahahahahahaha!”

As much as the laughter that burst out, he was living in happiness for a while.

#

The news from Italy hit the world.

『Italy, the title of hero to foreign citizens?』

『Dream Team, who are they?』

『A small country in Asia, Korea. The first appearance of a hero class hunter?』

The media around the world started talking about the Dream Team.

“Kim Seojun? You seem to be a fairly skilled hunter?”

“A prominent figure has emerged from Asia.”

It even started to rise and fall in the ranks of professional hunters around the world.

“I don’t think I’m exaggerating too much.”

“It’s the media’s packaging, what the heck?”

Of course, there were still some people who were dubious, but more and more people have heard the name of Dream Team at least once.

and Korea.

Korea went into a frenzy because they couldn’t really turn upside down.

As the ceremony held in Rome was widely covered in the media, talk of the Dream Team never ceased.

Moreover, Samuele asked Korea for cooperation in restoring Italy.

Accordingly, not only construction companies, but also various materials, food ingredients, and daily necessities.

As all fields related to people’s lives revived, Korea’s economy was truly experiencing a great boom.

The ripple effect created by the Dream Team was turning the whole of Korea upside down.

As a result, it was natural that Ryu Jin-cheol’s position would continue to narrow.

While the world is excited about the dream team.

The Dream Team was still in Italy.

The reason was nowhere else.

It was because of the request of the team members that they wanted to tour Italy.

Well, things must have worked out.

I must have made a lot of money

Seojun readily agreed.

So the team members went out to tour with a lot of excitement, but only Seo Jun remained.

“Why don’t you come… why don’t you come…”

It’s because of the mentor who doesn’t know when to come!

That would be the case, and the only money that came into Seo-jun’s hands this time was a whopping 46 trillion.

A whopping 46 trillion!

No matter how transcendent academies are, they won’t be able to suck up this money!

It was to consult with a mentor about how to use this money efficiently.

“Why don’t you come… why don’t you come…”

Seo-joon waited for a mentor because his neck and eyes were falling out.

And how long did you wait?

Pop!

<I’m here!>

Suddenly, a mentor popped out through the smartphone screen.

As expected, a mentor who appears in the same way without fail.

Normally, I would have been surprised.

“Wow, here we are!!!”

The case was different this time around.

Seo-joon ran towards the mentor who appeared through his smartphone.

It’s like a hungry animal struggling.

<Hee, hee!!>

This time, the mentor looked frightened and surprised.
