“Hey, that’s really good.”
Even if it’s only a handful, a first-year student would be like that.
At that level, it was clear that most of Urea’s students would fall down before they could do anything.
The mana management ability and swordsmanship that he showed during the match alone was enough to compare the boy with the active hero.
“Dmitry-kun. What do you think?”
In response to Isaac McDowell’s question, the muscular man sitting right next to him asked quietly.
“What are you talking about?”
“What if you and those students had a confrontation?”
To Isaac’s question, the tall-looking Slavs replied as if they had nothing to think about.
“I will lose. No matter which one of the two you end up with.”
“Ohh.”
Called Dmitry, he looked down at the arena with eyes that were still but steadfast in his strength.
There was a boy with his weapon cut off and standing there blankly, and a boy who overwhelmingly overpowered such a boy and turned around as if nothing had happened.
Even in the loud cheers around him, his voice resonated clearly.
“If it’s a boy with a lance, I’ll hold out for a few minutes, but the other side will never win even if I make a surprise attack.”
“Um, and any other impressions?”
“I thought it was a pity.”
Dmitry had now lost his weapon’s function, dropped it on the rosary, and caught a glimpse of the boy walking barefoot.
“Both had strength and talent for their age, but one was so strong that the other didn’t stand out. Of the 40 or so students I have seen in this stadium so far, they are by far the best.”
“That’s right.”
That Dmitry is no match for those two.
And Ahn Do-hoon and Choi Hyun-woo both have strength and talent that are not appropriate for their age, but Isaac agreed, saying that one was too strong and the other was not highlighted.
“But I have the ability that the professor gave me.”
Dmitry murmured quietly, but in a tone that looked like something was simmering.
“If I use that ability, even if I fight them both at the same time, I will win.”
“I think so too.”
Isaac nodded in agreement again this time.
It was because Dmitry’s opinion was an extremely calculated answer, excluding all things such as pride and favoritism.
His objective view was also the reason why he often chose Dmitry as an escort and escort of his four disciples.
“The time has come.”
He took out the silver-white pocket watch in a simple motion and checked the time.
Then, a man with an ordinary impression came up to him and sat down next to him.
“Isaac McDowell. Am I right?”
“I don’t want the word ‘respect’, but at least give me the imitation of respect.”
Isaac looked at the young man with a loose smile.
“Anyway, aren’t we supposed to work together on an equal footing? I think we should respect each other.”
“… Excuse me. I think he’s a guy who hasn’t been able to learn so much, so please understand. Mr. McDowell.”
“I will accept the apology.”
The man, who looked down once, took a piece of gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
He murmured and chewed gum, and then blew the balloon loudly and then popped the balloon with a popping sound.
At that moment, Isaac and Dmitry could notice a slight change in the sound around them.
The man said, spitting the gum on the paper.
“Now, no one else will hear our story.”
“It’s a strange ability.”
The man shrugged his shoulders once.
“Let’s break it down quickly. We work in groups of three. Two of my colleagues except me are waiting elsewhere.”
“Are all three?”
“There are one or two more guys who support us, but it’s better not to hit them with all your might.”
The man muttered in a contemptuous tone, and Isaac didn’t miss it.
It seems we don’t get along very well.
“As promised, if you move there first, we will move right away.”
“It is too risky to move by trusting only the three of you.”
“Our watering team is one of the most powerful in the Red Case.”
The man did not hide his bad mood.
“Out of thousands of direct members of the crew, only ten can join the watering team. Would this be the answer?”
There was an escort team to escort the boss, but the man did not mention that fact.
In any case, it was the undisputed fact that their skills were said to be the best in the organization.
“Well, that’s fine. I can’t tell you the exact time, but when this starts, I’ll let you set the beat for me.”
“It is.”
“Then, we’ll go for it.”
“May I ask you one thing before that, Mr. McDowell?”
Isaac got up from his seat and looked at the man as if he could ask any questions.
“Why did you refuse to associate with the Thorns Cross Society? It would have been easier if we had them.”
“Don’t even mention their names. If you want me to be polite to you.”
Isaac frowned and muttered as if chewing on something unpleasant.
“Their thoughts, ideologies, beliefs… … All things are far worse than the nonsense of a third-rate scoundrel. Just the thought of those who truly believe in such things are walking on this earth carelessly, it gives me goosebumps! Can you hear me?!”
Seeing the excited Isaac, the man raised his hands as if to calm down.
“I understand, so calm down… … .”
“no! Now that the word has just come out, I’m going to take this opportunity to put it on the nails!”
Isaac bowed his head toward the man and threatened him as if growling.
“Looks like you have your hands on them too. Well, I don’t mind things like that, but it’d be best to give up the expectation that I’ll take your circumstances into account and move on. All the crusaders in front of me will be able to check the color of their intestines on the spot.”
“… … .”
“May each of us achieve what we want from each other. Dmitry-kun, go ahead!”
With those words, Isaac walked away, still unable to contain his excitement.
Dmitry tilted his head slightly towards him and followed Isaac.
“A bastard like a torai has a mouth… … .”
He shook his head as if he was bored.
Either way, a fanatic or a psychopath.
“I wish I had done the job as well as the old bastard made fun of me.”
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.
None of the people around cared at all if he lit a cigarette and vomited smoke right next to him.
It was an unusual sight.
He pulled out the shortened cigarette butt with his finger and got up from his seat slowly.
No matter how disliked it was, no matter how disgusting he was, he didn’t need his own will, no matter how disgusting he was.
The only thing I needed was the boss’s command, because that alone was enough.
It was time to do what he and his colleagues did best.
* * *
The streets inside the academy, which were usually quiet, were chaotic like a festival day.
Taking the lead, she looked like a student at the academy.
Some people looked at her, who was so bright with her fluttering blonde hair like a painting, but rather than her appearance being awkward, it was simply because she drew people’s attention.
“By the way, you didn’t even tell me my name.”
She slowed down and stuck right next to me.
“It seems you already know me, but that’s it and this is this. There, you are polite no matter how I appear, so I should be polite too, right? Do you think people in your country value that?”
With those words, she turned her head and smiled slightly.
“Evangeline Lohengrin. As you may know, I am leading the Guild Blue Sap.”
“This is Yoo Ji-hyuk.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Then she reached out and put her finger to her ear.
After a while, he pouted his lips and spoke to me as if to rejoice.
“Your friend won? congratulation. The other person’s child seemed unimpressed.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“What, don’t you look very happy?”
“I was already expecting it.”
“Huh?”
Evangeline made a curious expression on her face, but didn’t want to explain it.
Hyun-Woo Choi and Do-Hoon Ahn.
Although the two looked similar at first, they were in a position to run in parallel.
Choi Hyeon-woo specializes in interpersonal warfare, and can be seen as a pure unmanned man who can almost perfectly protect his own body in any situation.
That was also the reason why he, along with Han Soo-young, was treated as an artificial pearl in the clouds on the horizon.
If you nurtured according to the rules, no matter who your opponent was, you could bring victory with your own strength alone.
However, Ahn Do-hoon, on the other hand, is the type that specializes in large-scale warfare.
It could also be said that it was worthy of a commander.
There are many characters who have the ability to help their allies.
With the protection of the World Tree, Yeeun Lee can change the battlefield to the advantage of her allies, and Cass Lyle is able to support her allies in various ways with her excellent alchemy.
Even in the case of Ivan Hunt, it was possible to temporarily grant the protection of the spirits derived from the protection of the Spirit King to allies.
However, there is no one who specializes in large-scale warfare along with the buffs of allies as much as Do-Hun Ahn.
In the first place, most of the skills and talents he could acquire were specialized in conducting.
‘Obviously, the unique weapons I got later were also the lance and the flag.’
There was even a skill that even gave Ahn Do-hoon a buff depending on the number, strength, and level of trust of the members under his command.
A commander who believes in his innate strength and strength and leads his colleagues at the forefront.
That was Ahn Do-hoon.
… Of course, the position of a commander is quite ironic for Ahn Do-hoon, who has the most broken personality and is the furthest from a trusted leader.
All playable characters grow stronger as they grow.
It was no exception to anyone.
And the most important growth for Ahn Do-hoon was none other than his spiritual growth.
“Why did you think so? Can’t you just tell me a little bit?”
I glanced at Evangeline, who persistently asked the question even if I kept ignoring it.
To be honest, if she was a member of the Ten River and not anyone else, she would have noticed as soon as she saw who would win.
I couldn’t ignore it forever, so I responded as if tossing it.
“Ahn Do-hoon is also strong. To be honest, even here in the academy, there are very few people who can beat him.”
“Yeah, it seems like it. He was the type of person who would be difficult to deal with if he just pushed him away.”
“But Choi Hyun-woo is stronger.”
It was sincere, not empty words.
In the first place, a few days ago, even for a moment, he entered the state of swordsmanship.
In one word, everything was explained.
So, to put it simply, can it be considered that the current Hyun-woo Choi has been nurtured to some extent and Do-Hoon Ahn has just started nurturing?
In many ways, Ahn Do-hoon had no luck today.
“Well, it has arrived.”
How much longer would I have walked?
Evangeline proudly held out her hand towards the eerie alley.
After a moment’s pause, she naturally grabbed my collar and dragged me inside.
Along the way, it sounded like something shrill.
I thought that something was going to make my ears go numb, and then my mind suddenly went dizzy.
Even with her eyes closed, the light bursts out from beyond her eyelids.
While I was unconscious, Evangeline was beside me, holding me as if supporting me.
“Come on, arrive.”
Suddenly, she tapped my shoulder.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt dizzy.
We were standing in a place we saw for the first time.
I’ve definitely had this experience before.
Horie Yuzuki.
Yes, Evangeline can also move through space like her ability.
“I’m different from Yuzuki, so I’m a little immature.”
Evangeline, who seemed to have pierced my thoughts, gave an unusually shy expression.
At some point, she returned to her original form.
“Come on, let’s go. And you can be proud of it.”
Evangeline was still smirking.
“This is the guild master of our six guilds… … And it’s a place where only those with unanimous consent from all of us can enter.”
Is that so? Our guild kids never even came in.
I was just skeptical at her words with a smile.
‘Is there ever been a place like this… ?’
It was never mentioned in the original.
Could it be that one of those who needed unanimity died and was forgotten?
Evangeline gestured as if to open the door and go inside.
I went right inside.
“Welcome, student Yoo Ji-hyuk.”
Lee Myung-jun got up from his seat and smiled as if he was happy.
But I couldn’t answer him.
Because I found a very unexpected person.
“It’s been a while, Jihyuk-ah.”
“Chief Jang… ?”
Deokpil Jang.
A man who used to be the director of the archives invaded by Esmeralda Listenerger.
he was here
