Orge Academy is an educational facility with the best facilities, welfare, and education as its motto.
In fact, according to its motto, Orge Academy is self-accredited and referred to as the number one educational facility, and it can be said that the professors in charge of the education of students have made the greatest contribution to achieving its reputation.
Most of them were made up of active heroes or hunters who had once made a name for themselves, and sometimes they even invited and brought in their appropriate instructors from outside.
The fact that there were ten strong men, namely, Lee Myung-Jun, one of the ten and the head of the Brain Myung Guild, was serving as an external lecturer alone could confirm the prestige of Orge Academy.
“… … .”
In a luxurious space that seemed more like a hotel suite rather than a dormitory for professors, Lee Myung-jun put his small terminal down in front of him and folded his arms.
Still, he was famous for his sharp impression.
As he was staring at the terminal with a stiff face, a woman’s voice that seemed to be sarcastic came out of the terminal.
[Then the weak-hearted one will die. Can you loosen up your face?]
“… It’s too late. It’s already been two hours since our appointment.”
[Hey, the Hammer of the Thunderbolt guild. Unlike anyone else, we don’t have enough time left to teach our kids comfortably.]
“okay. If you’ve been scratching inside people that much, you’ll feel refreshed now, so shut up, don’t you?”
In response to Lee Myung-joon’s answer, a roar of laughter erupted.
Then, seeing the lights on one side of the terminal turn on, he sighed in relief.
“Now we have all gathered.”
At his murmuring words, a loud, annoyingly loud noise flowed out of the terminal.
[Why do you bother coming to a busy person, Mara?]
[Ah, Myung-jun said he was going to die teaching the kids. I need to listen to some complaints.]
[Girl… … The kids who see the face of the blind bastard are going to die.]

Of course, a strong man like Lee Myung-jun did not simply respond to the invitation of Orhe Academy.
It was almost semi-compulsory due to political intentions and calculations in many ways, such as monitoring, protection, and checks on the Academy.
And such roles are played by the heads of six guilds, including Lee Myung-Jun’s Hammer of the Brain, in turn.
It was only Lee Myung-jun’s turn this time.
All of the voices coming out of the terminal were people with social status and strength that were unmatched by Lee Myung-joon.
Like Lee Myung-jun, each of them was a member of the ten rivers and led the guild.
“Then let’s start now.”
The six guilds were allies.
And from time immemorial, if it was deemed necessary according to the judgment of one of them, the meeting was held in this way.
“… A lot of strange things are happening this time.”
As Lee Myung-jun started to speak, the terminal, which had been noisy until recently, was silent as if it had broken down.
“Starting with the giant spirit that appeared in the mock dungeon class, today the Thorn Cross Society launched a terrorist attack on five streets. I haven’t found a connection point yet, but I thought I couldn’t just leave it alone, so I applied for this meeting.”
When Lee Myung-jun finished speaking, the voices gave their opinions.
[Isn’t that too sensitive? Simulated dungeon events are rare, but not impossible. Above all, there is a precedent, and the Academy’s management may have been neglected. And then there’s the thorn cross… … Those weed-like bastards were always pulled out and pulled out, but they quickly summoned power.]
[All heroes and hunters know that they are scumbags. This is not the first time terrorism against civilians has occurred. I heard that the scale is small and there were no fatalities even though there were injuries? What’s the matter?]
[Twitter… … Why is everyone wearing hair?]
Then, the woman who made fun of Lee Myung-joon in the first place clicked her tongue as if it was pathetic.
[Myung-jun killed you, Isabelle Gaudi a few days ago?]
“… … .”
Lee Myung-jun was silent.
His ability to get information and use it to draw conclusions was due to the fact that none of the six could have followed this woman.
[Probably that witch b*tch escaped from the red case, and the thorn cross corridor also had a connection point. right?]
Also.
Lee Myung-joon muttered inwardly.
It was only after he had killed Isabelle Gaudi that he had learned the information.
[So there was an official notice from the association telling me to be captured as much as possible… … .]
[Just tell me the point. Point only.]
[Oh little! Anyway, do you know that there was a commotion in one of the archives not long after that witch b*tch died? But oh my, the culprit is a member of that Red Case? Isn’t something strange?]
[no way… … .]
[That’s probably it. Moreover, they say that the criminal was captured, but there are no details about what happened or the disposition. When I tried to find it, it was cleverly hidden. And which of us has the best place to interrogate or imprison anyone?]
[Horie Yuzuki… ! Yeah, I’m starting to get the hang of it now.]
A voice emanating from the terminal asked Myeong-Jun Lee.
[You must have figured out something? That’s why, at other times, he suddenly applied for a meeting and brought us together on a matter that he would have dealt with alone.]
“… okay.”
Lee Myung-joon nodded his head meekly.
Clearly, the information he obtained from Esmeralda Listenerger’s interrogation was confidential, but there was no need to hide it from them.
It had been a long time since he had gone beyond the scale of a problem he could handle alone in the first place.
“I can’t talk over the line because I don’t know. Do you know that a small event will be held at the academy in a few days as a guild invitation ceremony? Let’s meet then and talk in person.”
[What? I said I wasn’t going.]
“At least send an agent. Again, this is a really, really important matter, so come in person if possible.”
When Lee Myung-jun finished speaking, a man yawned and muttered.
[Well, okay. see you then. I still had a reason to visit this time, but I think I can listen to the story as well.]
[Oh? what’s wrong with that What kind of woman did you hide?]
[Then how good is that? I also want to have some love. really.]
The man who had been lamenting for a while spoke out as if it was nothing special.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen my nephew’s face, and a request came in from a guild and company affiliated with us. After his son went through a mock dungeon class, he was in a strange state, so he asked me to take a look at it.]
[In a mock dungeon? Ah, maybe it’s because of that giant spirit.]
[That’s but… … I don’t know. It’s not about the body, it’s about the mind.]
He rustled for a moment, saw something and murmured.
[Look, my son’s name is… … Yes, it’s Na Il-jun.]
The moment he heard the name, a student instantly came to mind in Lee Myung-jun’s mind.
A student whose past is unclear, who warned of the threat to Isabelle Gaudi, was present at the scene of the Thorn Crusader terror from the simulated dungeon incident to today, and finally extracted information by tricking Esmeralda Listenerger with just a few words.
‘Yeah, it’s obvious… … .’
Alice Blesbuck clearly remembered that she had a good relationship with a student named Il-Jun Na.
I heard that his father is quite petty and obsessive… … .
“no way.”
He brushed his hair a little.
How could a person who is not a child and the head of a company do such a stupid thing?
It wasn’t that Yoo Ji-hyuk was the culprit, he just had a bad relationship.
‘… It would be nice if there was nothing to worry about.’
With that in mind, Lee Myung-jun turned off the terminal.
The guild’s invitation event and the meeting to be held in a few days were already too complicated in his head.

“Do you like it?”
I asked as I watched the mandragora float leisurely in a large fishbowl.
The guy who was floating around as if he was swimming at my question nodded slowly.
‘I bought it together while I was living… … .’
After installing filters, plants, and heaters, it was a fish tank.
The only difference is that they are growing herbs, not fish.
“So… … .”
I got up from my seat and headed to the sink to drain the water that had been in the mandragora.
Then I suddenly noticed that the water, which had been standing for several days, was not turbid, but rather had a sweet smell.
Just in case, I gently assessed the water.
“her.”
[Water made with Mandragora (Consumed, Material / Rare)]
[It is water made from the legendary medicinal herb Mandragora. It is not as good as the original mandragora, but the medicinal effects and efficacy of mandragora are dissolved in water. It seems to be good for health.]
After snoring for a moment, I glanced at Mandragora’s eyes.
The boy was still floating around with a relaxed attitude.
“Hmm, hmm… … .”
Just by looking at the description, I could tell that it was too wasteful to just throw it away.
I took it straight to my mouth and immediately began to drink it quietly.
It’s not because of my mood, it’s definitely slightly sweet… … .
“… … .”
“Pooh!”
In the meantime, I made eye contact with the guy and instantly caught Sare and spouted out what I was drinking.
Maybe it was just my mood that he was looking at me with a pathetic gaze.
“Oh, no. hey. I hope this is a medicine. Then it’s a waste to just throw it away. uh?”
“… … .”
For some reason, I was making excuses for him.
The gaze of the guy who didn’t know what he was thinking was a bit burdensome.
I sneaked out of his sight and stole the corner of my mouth.
‘Next time, I’ll have to suck it up with the branches of the World Tree.’
branches of the world tree.
As soon as I remembered it, I remembered what happened today one after another.
There were a lot of things I couldn’t understand.
‘It was like a parasitic plant.’
The problem was that I had never seen such a case before.
Above all, the branches of the World Tree are now dormant.
‘There… … .’
[- ??? (I am growing due to large nutrient intake)]
Judging from the circumstances, it may be that another characteristic blooms after growth is over.
The way to awaken the World Tree as far as I know is to go through trials or use a potion of awakening.
There were only these two.
He had never seen a way to awaken by absorbing the opponent’s power.
Even the man who was the head of the Thorn Cross did not have this ability.
“right.”
thorn cross.
If you think about it, it is questionable that they moved so quickly.
At some point, the whole story of the original was moving quickly and I was feeling it directly.
‘… I need to move a little faster.’
The thing that worries me the most is the event at the festival that will be around a month or two away.
In the original story, the seal of the Seven Bells is broken at the festival commemorating the sealing of the Seven Bells.
Thanks to this, the site becomes a disaster, and most of the heroes and hunters who were put in to stop the Seven Evil Bells released from the seal die on the spot.
And as the strength of the association and guild weakened by that, all kinds of villains and monsters ran rampant as if this was an opportunity.
‘It was said that the preparation of the Red Case was so thorough that there was no way to try it.’
In particular, the biggest cause was the breakdown of the defense system that protects Seoul and intercepts large monsters.
If the Aegis system was intact, there would not have been much damage.
And knowing that, Red Case focused on destroying the Aegis system.
‘But now Esmeralda is arrested, and Lee Myung-Jun knows most of the circumstances.’
So I vaguely thought it would be okay.
Anyway, when Lee Myung-jun was murdered, the other five guilds allied with him had ordered the killing to catch the criminal.
To that extent, he was a popular man.
He had a better reputation than anyone else and had many talented colleagues, so I thought it would be okay if I left it to him, but I couldn’t stay still as I watched the situation go like this.
The problem was that the hero who manages the Aegis system and its location were confidential among secrets, so they could not meet blindly.
That’s why she infiltrated the Red Case and, as the leader of the craft team, invested several months to infiltrate the association and find out the location.
‘Of course I already know the location… … .’
The problem is that it is not something you can meet just because you know it.
This was not a difficult thing to do in a position where I had to persuade to the end to give my opinion.
‘I’ll have to meet Lee Myung-Jun one more time.’
Myung-Jun Lee personally owes me.
There was also a contribution to the ‘Thunder Ball’s Hammer’ guild itself, so I thought if I could use this point well, I would at least be able to convey my opinion.
‘Let’s write the designation right there as soon as possible.’
I can’t help but sigh in a future where I have to move around busy in many ways.
Because it was the one who suffered a loss if things went wrong for nothing.
At least before the end of this month, meet the hero who manages the Aegis system and prepare for the raid.
Deciding to move with this as my top priority, I fiddled with my phone.
‘Then Cass Lyle or Alice Blesbuck. I need help from one of them… … .’
There were only two alchemists who were competent and reliable.
Shall we go to a club and talk to Cass Lyle?
I was thinking like that.
Booung.
“yes?”
The phone vibrated and a message arrived.
Is it Choi Hyun-woo or Han Soo-young?
Having checked the message with that thought in mind, I had no choice but to tilt my head as I saw the message that arrived from a completely unexpected person.
“What else is this?”
[from ― ???]
[hello. junior. My name is Yeeun Lee, whom I met at an archery club before.
If it’s okay, can we have a little talk tomorrow morning in the club room?]
