Episode 126 Doubts about faith.

Who is the right person to give this brooch to?
It was a matter of a lot to think about.
I never thought I’d get something like this.
No, even if I had expected it, it wouldn’t have changed much.
A supervisor is an important position that cannot be entrusted to anyone.
If it was a trivial item, it would have been enough if the main character, Chun Hyeon-woo, took care of it.
After all, what else would be an accessory that would suit only a woman?
‘Really, I don’t think I’ve accepted anything.’
Either give it or give it something more practical.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe Cecilia left this to the test to put me to the test in the first place?Then I wanted to tell you that it was a complete success.
Because you were making me suffer this hard with nothing.
Either way, this artifact in his hand was still glowing blue with the ocean still in it.
“Thank you. Park Seong-jin.”
“yes? what?”
When did Katarina come again?
I’ve been around for a while, as if there was something I wanted to say.
“I never thought my opinion would be adopted. It wasn’t a particularly great idea, but there was no need to be so enthusiastic about helping.”
“How about that? It seemed like a good enough idea to me.”
“It is nothing. I just wanted to say thank you, so don’t worry about it. Anyway, there is one thing I want to ask you.”
“What?”
“I heard the story. They’ve been doing great things in secret.”
… I don’t know who you are, but you said something useless.
He must have taken it strangely because of his personality.
These events have nothing to do with the sense of justice that Katarina pursues.
It was just something I had to do.
“It was.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“what? To jump into a place where you never know when you’re going to die?”
“No, that’s what everyone fears. It’s just that people jump in knowing that. What I’m saying is, aren’t you afraid to lean on your back and depend on me for your life? The personnel who will fight directly are me, you, and Priscilla. Priscilla, I have a close relationship with you, so it doesn’t matter, but I’m different.”
“Because it’s trustworthy. No, you might think differently, so it’s wrong to say ‘between’. Simply because you may have made such a choice to realize your justice. It would be more accurate to say ‘because I believe’.”
“is it… ”
Perhaps the answer was not at all, Katarina’s face still did not know.
It didn’t seem like a very good answer to me, though.
I was just a contemplative person, and I wasn’t a good eloquent enough to give a sermon on a philosophical subject, so it was natural in a way.
“Isn’t it common for each other? If you hadn’t trusted me, you wouldn’t have applied for this job in the first place.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’m feeling fear. I’m not sure I’m going to run away. The question is, can you really trust me like that? Because believing in you, who has never run away, and believing in me, who is the first to do something like this, are two completely different things.”
“To be honest, I don’t have high expectations. I don’t even think I’ll do my part. But, I’m not the only one who thinks so. Cecilia and Esmeralda must see me and feel the same way.”
“Isn’t that the story of being unreliable soon?”
“Well, it is not. It’s hard to trust someone completely. But, usually, from the moment I decided to believe, I don’t listen to anything about something. Trust itself is your choice, so you don’t look for the cause in others until trust is broken. Until then, your beliefs are yours.”
Katarina slowly closed her eyes, as if she had something to think about.
Unlike Katarina, who always maintains a strict and strong attitude, she had a gentle and warm expression on her face.
“I’m glad to hear a good answer. Then, I wish you all the best in the future.”
As if that was the end of what she had to say, Katarina quickly turned her head and went back to her seat.
‘It’s really hard to know what’s inside. It’s at a level that reminds me of the old Aina.’
If it had been anyone else, I would have thought it was shameful.
However, if the target was Katarina, it was a different story.
Even if you are rude, you have to have a normal personality.
Because we always talked like that.
It was the usual Katarina to deliver only the words that had to be conveyed, and to immediately find her own work to do and leave.
Because of that, it was hard to keep track of what I was thinking and acting like that.
First of all, it was an urgent task to decide who would take the eyes of this watcher, so the worries quickly disappeared from my head.
“Hey, Park Seong-jin. So, who’s going to give you something that tells the watcher’s eye color or what the f*ck?”
“I am thinking. I have no one to give.”
“Give me Aina or Priscilla. Do you have anything to take that seriously?”
Hyeonu Chun asked as if he was just wondering what is the big deal.
I’m not a party to you, so I’d say something like that casually.
“Do you remember what Cecilia said? This is something that a qualified person must have to have meaning. Of course, maybe one day they will both qualify. But, knowing when that day will come, I am waiting for you, years and months.”
“So is it.”
In the first place, how many guys of my age have the qualifications of a watcher?
It was a story that couldn’t be possible even with any great guy.
If it’s a phoenix-like yangban, who has the same inside, I don’t know.
“So, how about Professor Serena?”
“You want to give this to Professor Serena? Either way, it’s not a good idea.”
No matter how much she thought about it, the watchman was not a suitable position for her, who immediately went out of her way if she was wrong.
Besides, Aina, who had been suspicious of Serena’s relationship with me from the beginning, was holding on, and I couldn’t even predict what would happen to me if I gave this to her.
“why? I wonder if anyone knows? Wouldn’t everyone know except the president and the dean? Even if you find out, isn’t it more plausible that the professor wears it rather than the one we, who are cadets, wear? I think he would be less suspicious.”
“Do you think the position of watcher suits Professor Serena? Heartily?”
“But it is also true that there is no one around us to give. Professor Serena seems to be a little more restrained after her release. Isn’t an academy professorship a neutral position?”
“That’s not wrong either… I do not know. f*ck.”
Serena, who was not even here, was somewhat resentful.
If I had been a little calmer and quieter, I would have been able to trust and entrust this brooch.
“Think about it slowly. It has nothing to do with this Jinjo subjugation unless you become a watcher anyway, right?”
“I will.”
For now, I’ll watch Serena, and if I don’t like it, I’ll have to put it on myself, Won.
Or, there is a way to wait until graduation from the academy thinking that you are going to fight at all.
Then, Aina or Priscilla might be qualified.

I climbed up the trail, which was overgrown with wild grass and small trees.
In fact, what was even called a road?
It wasn’t moving along a set path, it just moved as this body remembered it.
‘At this point, you can see his grave.’
There is no way the memory is wrong.
It was because I was the one who wiped the spot to bury it in a sunny place somehow.
However, for some reason, Jung Ho-gyeong’s grave was not visible.
Even after going up and down the mountain three times.
At this point, I couldn’t help but get caught up in impatience.
The sun was only going down, and what I was looking for was a bald eagle, so it was natural.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of wild beasts in the mountains.
I was just afraid that what he said was true.
‘Jung Ho-kyung is revived.’
I thought it was nonsense.
I still think so
However, unlike the mind, the body was already accepting that fact to some extent.
Because with every step he took, the flames of wrath were ignited around him.
It was not that I was unaware of that fact.
However, if I didn’t do that, I thought I would not be able to control this anger, so I just let it go.
And, it wasn’t until this area became a wasteland that I realized there was one strange thing.
In the yard that would not have been strange if everything had turned to charcoal and soot, there was still a place covered with overgrown vegetation.
“no way.”
A roaring flame emanated from his arms, engulfing the grass and wooded fields.
However, they just stood firm without even generating soot.
‘I can’t help but find this.’
It was not known what kind of work it was, but it was certain that he was a very talented person.
There are very few Awoken who can create such a delicate remnant.
It was evident that he had put a lot of effort into it.
Calming his mind, he slowly moved toward the border between green and black.
And, crossing that line, the scene I had expected but did not want to imagine began to be reflected in my eyes.
An empty coffin over an excavated cemetery.
It was definitely Jung Ho-kyung.
It was proven that his words were true.
The sound of a dog that didn’t even sound like Jung Ho-kyung was resurrected.
‘However… I can’t understand. What value did you bring back to life from the dead?’
I was well aware that I couldn’t find an answer by thinking alone.
The easiest and fastest way to find out this answer is to find guys called ‘Dream Liberators’.
“Whew”
I tried to adapt to the reality that I couldn’t die and live quietly.
It seemed that the world had no intention of leaving me alone.
