The Academy’s Time Stop Player chapter 177

“So what are you going to say?”

Ha-jun and Kim Jung-yong, president of the association, got into the car.

Sitting in the seat next to Ha-jun, he paused for a moment, then looked at Ha-jun and opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“Actually, a few days ago, I got a call from the great hero Helan Belhar.”

Helan Belhar.

Ha-jun was puzzled when he heard that a British hero who was wandering the world contacted him, the president of the Korean association.

At least he’s not the kind of person who contacts anyone like this and announces his existence.

Ha-jun asked Kim Jeong-yong with a puzzled expression.

“Why is he?”

“I also only asked Helan for a simple request, so I don’t know the exact reason. However, he asked me to tell him that he was going to meet Ha-jun soon.”

“You mean you don’t know exactly when it will come, right?”

“Yes.”

At that, Hajun scratched his cheek with a slightly trembling expression.

Maybe something annoying is coming to you?

“I don’t know the specific reason, but one thing… … .”

“… … ?”

“He asked me to come with cadet Han Si-young.”

* * *

a few days later.

Ha-jun, who was contacted by Kim Jeong-yong, president of the association, was standing at the door of a hotel’s dormitory with Han Si-young.

“Are you really saying Helan-sama is here?”

“The president of the association said he was here.”

Han Si-young was looking at Ha-joon with a suspicious face.

Well, frankly, it is understandable to be suspicious of the fact that Helan is the hardest-to-see hero among the great heroes.

Ha-jun knocked on the door without hesitation.

Soon, a familiar voice came from beyond the door.

– The door is open, so you can come in.

Without hesitation, Ha-jun and Han Si-young opened the door and entered the dormitory.

Helan, whom I had not seen in a long time, was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the dormitory, enjoying tea leisurely.

“It’s been a long time.”

“long time no see.”

“Sit down for now. I have a lot to talk about.”

Ha-jun immediately sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Han Si-young made a slightly confused expression and sat down next to Ha-jun.

And Helan, who looked at Han Si-young for a moment, opened her mouth with a happy smile.

“Are you Han Si-young? It’s been a long time.”

“… … Do you know me?”

“You may not remember, but you saw it once when you were a baby.”

Han Si-young, who heard those words, made an unfamiliar, subtle expression on her face.

Seeing that expression, Helan only smiled.

Ha-jun, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, looked at Helan and asked about the purpose.

“So why did you call us?”

“under… … , well, because something troublesome happened.”

It was Helan who breathed a sigh that was close to complaining.

Soon, she looked at Ha-jun and Han Si-young with serious expressions and talked about the business.

“The Sword King is missing.”

“… … .”

“… … ?”

Han Si-young narrowed her eyebrows at those words, and Ha-joon made an absurd expression.

It was not a big deal in Hajun’s opinion, considering it was carrying a lot of weight.

“Originally, his whereabouts are unknown.”

Hajun said.

Helan shook his head in response to such an answer and continued.

“Still, he kept in touch with me from time to time. Like a wanderer. However, at some point, the contact was cut off.”

“Since when did you lose contact?”

“a few days ago. It is after you met the sword king. We have lost contact since then.”

At those words, it was Han Si-young, who was staring at Ha-joon with an absurd face.

Ha-jun looked at Helan and asked, ignoring Han Si-young’s gaze.

“So, you suddenly lost contact?”

“Yeah, I’ve been looking for it for a few days, but… … , I’m here to ask if you know anything.”

After thinking about something for a moment, Ha-jun shook his head and answered.

“I don’t really have any guesses.”

There is one thing I can guess, but it wasn’t information that helped us find the current location of the Sword King.

Soon after, Helan’s gaze turned to Han Si-young.

Han Si-young also thought deeply about something and shook her head.

“Hmm… … , well, since the last place the sword king contacted and disappeared was Korea, he must be in Korea… … . Once you don’t know, there’s nothing you can do.”

With those words, she slowly stood up from her seat.

Helan put on a brown leather cloak again and opened his mouth.

“For now, let me look for her in Korea for a while. are you guys?”

“We will look for it first.”

“Okay then, see you later.”

With those words, her body turned into a faint glow and disappeared.

Where Helan left.

Ha-jun got up from the sofa and prepared to go back.

Then, when I turned my head to look at Han Si-young, I could see Han Si-young thinking deeply about something.

* * *

The next day, the evening after classes at the academy.

Han Si-young came to Ha-jun’s dorm.

It was late in the evening, so Ha-jun opened the door and looked at Han Si-young, who had come to visit him, with an annoyed face, and opened his mouth.

“why?”

“I think I know where Master is.”

“… … yes?”

At that, Ha-Jun made a puzzled expression.

How did you know that in one day? … , the one who took classes in the morning and afternoon together.

Hajun asked.

“How did you know?”

“I remember a place I used to go with Master. I’m not sure, but he’s probably there.”

“Is that so? Then let’s go tomorrow. It’s late today.”

“no.”

It was Han Si-young who shook her head at those words.

Han Si-young opened her mouth with a calm expression.

“Go now.”

“Is it nine o’clock in the evening?”

It was exactly time for Hajun to lie down on the bed.

At those words, Si-young Han looked at Ha-joon with cold eyes and continued.

“After all, tomorrow is the weekend. And you slept all day in class.”

It was Hajun who sighed as there was no excuse for those words.

Ha-jun nodded with a tired expression and came out of the academy with Han Si-young.

Ha-jun asked while walking side by side with Han Si-young.

“So where are you?”

“It’s in the mountains.”

“… … ?”

* * *

There was another reason why Han Si-young took me instead of going alone.

Well, if you go by yourself, you’re sure to run away, so you put me up as a shield or something.

Anyway, it really annoys the disciple who resembles the master.

However, the reason Ha-joon followed Han Si-young faithfully (?) without coercion was because of this guy’s progress.

● Si-Young Han (60%)

Han Si-young’s episode progress began to rise after the news that the King of Sword had disappeared.

So I had my doubts.

Actually, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but how this guy’s final ending will end.

After the disappearance of the ‘Villain Alliance’, the main villain organization of the Han Si-young episode, I couldn’t guess the ending of Han Si-young exactly after Sa-rn’s death.

In other words, the future after that was unknown even to Ha-Jun.

If I knew in advance, I would do anything… … .

‘Is meeting the Sword King the final ending?’

Then a sudden thought occurred to me.

In any case, in the last episode of Han Si-young that we saw in the game, he eventually meets his master, the sword king.

‘Then, was it just to meet you back then?’

Of course, I think it’s too late to regret already.

Ha-jun quietly followed Han Si-young, who took the lead.

However, the more I walked, the more I couldn’t really figure out where I was going.

I had heard that I was going to the mountain in advance, but I had already been climbing for several hours to an unknown mountain.

Ha-jun, who could not see, asked Han Si-young, who was running ahead.

“Where the hell are you going?”

“… … .”

At that question, Si-Young Han was silent for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.

“… … It is my hometown.”

“hometown?”

“Yeah, I don’t remember, but Master told me.”

Han Si-young recalled memories of the past.

It was a memory of the time I spent with Master.

– This is your hometown, Siyoung-ah.

I remember the first time I visited the place.

It was a very old memory when I was still only six years old.

Han Si-young remembered Master’s expression at that time.

Master always had a sad expression on his face whenever he saw the place.

After that, Master took me to remember the place several times, but I had completely forgotten it after a few years of separation from Master.

“Coming soon.”

Han Si-young said when she climbed a mountain and started going down again.

It’s not a hidden village, it’s a village between mountains… … .

Anyway, Hajun was relieved to hear that he was arriving soon.

To be honest, Ha-jun was also curious.

Han Si-young’s hometown, which did not appear in the game.

That was then.

Suddenly, Pilaten spoke to Hajun.

– King.

She continued with a serious voice.

-Beyond, the human king’s aura is faintly felt.

Hajun’s eyebrows narrowed at those words.

Hearing Pilaten’s words, Ha-jun accelerated even more and passed Han Si-young, passing through the bushes and heading for the place.

And the moment he arrived, Hajun’s eyes widened.

“… … .”

Ha-jun was speechless for a moment and looked around.

I thought there was a village deep in the mountains, but contrary to Ha-jun’s thoughts, there was nothing in the place he arrived.

There was only an unimaginably huge pit in the center.

It’s like a huge pit that changed the topography of a meteorite a few decades ago.

And Han Si-young, who arrived late and stood next to Ha-jun, looked at the place calmly and said.

“It’s here.”

As if recalling the past for a moment, Han Si-young continued with the next words, looking around with nostalgic eyes.

“This is my hometown.”

* * *

In the center of this wide place located between the mountains, it looked as if a huge pit had been dug by some kind of shock long ago.

from noblemtl.com

Maybe it’s been a long time and the grass has grown over the pit.

Ha-jun and Han Si-young were sheltering from the cold by lighting a bonfire.

Then it was Ha-jun who was so ridiculous that he asked Si-young Han a question.

“Is this your hometown?”

“okay.”

“Is it a pit?”

What pit was he born in?

Hiding such thoughts inside, Ha-jun looked at Han Si-young with a puzzled face.

At that time, Han Si-young heard Ha-joon’s words and slowly got up from her seat.

“Follow me.”

“… … ?”

“I have something to show you.”

After that, Ha-jun quietly followed Han Si-young.

Soon after coming out of the pit, Si-young Han stopped at a certain place and looked around the floor, slowly lowered her posture and reached out.

He touched the bushes around him for a while, then pulled out a sword from his waist and swung his sword sideways as it was.

At the same time, the wind pressure blew, and the overgrown bushes were blown away by the wind pressure, revealing some building debris.

“It’s an old place, so it’s just hidden from view by the bushes.”

It was the remains of some wooden building.

collapsed house.

It was just a brush over the ruins that had fallen so old.

“I do not know the original appearance of this place… … .”

With those words, Han Si-young looked around.

Ha-joon followed his gaze and looked around and immediately noticed.

That the things covered in the bushes are the remains of the building.

Han Si-young continued speaking with a bitter face.

“Master said there was a village here.”
