Episode 120
turning point(3)
As soon as I opened the classroom door and entered, the eyes of the children were fixed on me, as always.
Now, such a gaze has become a part of daily life, and there is no special inspiration.
I sat down at the desk with my teammates, not paying attention to their stares.
“Taeyang, are you here?”
I smiled at Anya, who pretended to know her while poking her side, and threw the bag roughly next to me, and Chevalier and Andrew, who were sitting in front of me, turned around.
“Taeyang-kun, is there anything wrong?”
“You didn’t say anything? On the contrary, patients were pushed back, but the sane guy scolded me for why he came.”
There is no way.
There is no physical damage except for the case where the mind is smashed and becomes a crippled person in the dream world, which is like the other world. Well, in the case of a mental body, it would be different.
I didn’t know because I was out of my mind, but I heard that Lee Dong-hoon died of a heart attack due to shock.
It couldn’t have been a bittersweet ending for him, but… … .
I don’t have much time to listen to the story of the villain.
Seeing the smiling teammates makes me feel strange.
Lust said he would come back when things were sorted out, so when the academy gets back to normal, he’ll come on his own first.

After work at Namjin Building is over.
The first thing Lee Yu-ra did after attending the academy the next day was to head to the library.
– Beep.
Upon entering with her student ID at the glass entrance, the cool, damp air hits her face.
Lee Yu-ra’s face hardened as she entered the front door of the library, sweeping her bangs that had been blown away by the wind.
The sharp eyes, tightly closed mouth, and even the bridge of the nose that looks like it’s about to be cut.
It’s still a cold impression, but because of that, it’s even ugly.
‘Nothing wrong. You can leave the hospital like this.’
‘Really?’
‘yes. It’s really fine. In fact, when I saw it, I didn’t know why they came.’
– Ding-dong. The door opens.
Recalling the conversation with the doctor last night, I climbed into the elevator.
My head is complicated.
What happened last night was full of things that she couldn’t understand.
[Regression], [Regret], and even the ‘death of a younger brother’ mentioned by the guy wearing the mask of Lee Young-woong.
I stayed still because I saw the atmosphere of Taeyang Geum, who was blowing demonic spirits, but that doesn’t mean I ate my eyes and ears.
“ah… … .”
As I try to reminisce more, my brows tingle.
“Did you say Lee Dong-hoon? … ?”
It was definitely that name.
The guy casually pulled out his sword and swung it at the golden sun.
Apparently, the reason was frightened there.
Because I thought that even if I was a golden sun, the stage of expert would be far away.
But that was her mistake.
Brilliant swordsmanship rising from the sword of the golden sun, followed by splendid sword strikes and waves of magical power. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
– Ding-dong. It is on the 5th floor. The door closes.
With the elevator door slowly closing and the announcement sound behind, the classification of the place Chae Yu-ra was headed was fixed.
[Return, possession, reincarnation]
It is the library that I came to first because I can’t stop by my hometown right now.
Even if I don’t get something, I’ll search all my family’s libraries to find something about [Return].
By the way, does Choi Gyuri really like resting?
I recalled her, who was lying down immediately after receiving sick leave, and grabbed Lee Yu-ra’s forehead.
I let out a sigh and passed between the endlessly stretched bookshelves and entered the [Regression] section.
* * *
Lee Young-woong searched for his memory.
It was an instant that my eyes closed in the Namjin Building, and it was safe to say that the film literally stopped after that.
Next to the serial killer’s approximate prowess, the next thing he figured out was the killer’s weaponry and fighting style.
Attribute [Weapon Master].
For him, who is a lover of all weapons, seeing and analyzing the sword marks on the spot was nothing more than a piece of cake.
Criminal’s Weapon Greatsword.
The remaining scars, probably from scratching the floor, are deeper and thicker than those of common swords.
This level can be grasped by any skilled inspector.
‘The change of the sword is too dramatic.’
At first, it was a sword that excluded all emotions.
It is restrained, but the end is sharp.
If the battle dolls studied by the Golem School of the Ministry of Magic wielded a sword, it would be like this.
But as if it never happened, the turbulence of emotions rages.
The arc of the sword is rough, reflecting unrefined emotions.
To put it bluntly, there were a lot of people who used swordsmanship to this extent.
It’s been a long time since Lee Young-woong himself entered the Expert-Expert-level.
but.
There was a guy who came to mind right now.
A rare swordsman genius, a candidate for the next sword master, a disciple of the current sword master, and a troublemaker at the academy.
There is only one person who has all the modifiers that it is difficult to have just one.
“Golden Sun… … is it.”
Lee Young-woong muttered quietly and shook his head.
The culprit’s impression has already spread widely through broadcasting.
Isn’t Geum Taeyang a hairy monster over 2m tall?
Then why the hell? who? For what purpose?
“What are you so worried about?”
Hearing the voice from the side, Lee Young-woong turned his head.
There, Cha Seung-hyeok, spinning the dagger in his hand, was watching him.
“It’s nothing. Are you done training? Yesterday I just stretched out and the road went wild.”
“so so? Even if I was in good shape, I wouldn’t just stretch like that.”
“I guess.”
The cold night wind passes by scratching Lee Young-woong’s cheek.
It was natural. The place where the two of them are now is the training ground near the academy.
Breathing in the night air through the wide open window, Lee Young-woong took out a cylindrical glass bottle the size of his index finger from his pocket and held it up.
Inside the glass bottle are a few strands of dark-rooted hairs.
I didn’t think it was a gold sun because it was hard to see because it was human hair, but if you analyze it, you’ll get something.
“What are you looking at?”
“Oh, yes. Something like that.”
Cha Seung-hyeok immediately turned his gaze to his cellphone as if telling him to take care of it.

[Hyuk, what do you think?]
Lying on the bed, Kanghyuk turned his head and looked at Yeriel, who was leaning against the wall.
I knew what she meant.
“No matter how much I think about it, I think that side was involved.”
[Is this the Holy Apocalypse you were talking about? Are you talking about those guys?]
“Oh, right.”
As he watched the repeated murders, Kang Hyuk had one thought.
A dispute between the Awoken? It’s not common, but if you make up your mind to look for it, there are dozens of materials that will pour out.
However, no records show that indiscriminate killings took place in a place full of civilians like this.
Except for that day five years ago.
After the Awakeners appeared, Korea was evaluated as having strong public power thanks to the activities of the first president of the association, so if you do something wrong beyond the control of the association, you will be sent to the ‘hunting dog unit’ as it is after the trial.
The association’s ‘executive department’, which has a large number of powerful Awoken, is like a nightmare for criminals.
Even so, there are always exceptions.
A transnational organization related to the higher world The Holy Apocalypse.
They didn’t care what country they worked in, and they had the power to do so.
“There is definitely something involved. Otherwise, there is no reason for a person of that level to openly do something like this in front of the academy.”
[That’s right. It can be moved by living difficulties or threats.]
Except for the time when society was in chaos when supernatural powers began to appear, most cases involving High Awakeners were left behind after the Association began to take control.
Of course, there were cases where political affairs were involved, but such cases were often revealed by political opponents.
It is not easy to deal with reasons and causes unknown.
But in this case, no connection was seen.
Even if you searched for social issues and current affairs, there seemed to be no reason for an expert-level prosecutor to run rampant near the academy.
The Ark is different from a normal Awakener-related incident.
It was the conclusion that Kang Hyuk reached after morbidly searching for data on the holy Apocalypse after the Han River Gate incident that day.
“Threatening an Awoken with that level of skill? Even if I can’t do it, it will be at least B grade, but it would be fortunate if I didn’t hang upside down in the Han River on the day of the threat? Also, the crackdown is so severe in Korea, so if you have debts from gambling, it must have happened overseas, not in Korea. Not near the academy.”
[Hmm… … What if they are really entangled?]
Kang Hyuk clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth as he answered.
“You must find it and catch it by the tail. ’cause I haven’t forgotten No, even if I die, I won’t forget.”
In the eyes of Kang Hyuk, who was far away from this, even a ghost stood in his eyes.
* * *
Several days have passed since then.
The murder case, which had been the topic of conversation at the academy for a while, was gradually forgotten as I stopped my activities and there was no more paper to write.
Of course, it may continue to be for some people, but most people have left in search of other gossip.
I don’t know if the case will be sorted out and the official announcement from the association comes out once more, but if not, it will slowly disappear from people’s memories without a trace.
Instead, other issues began to surface.
‘Students from the European Union, led by France, England and Germany, are now passing through the entry gate. Please give us a round of applause!’
I opened the classroom door and went in, and I raised my head to the sound of the TV.
A flat-screen TV on the wall shows a group of people entering the airport.
Students in colorful school uniforms pass through the entry gate.
Unlike Korea, which is black, the hair color is also diverse, such as blonde and red.
“ah-.”
These days, it’s been so crazy all over the place, I forgot about it. Something like that did happen. It’s related to Chevalierut, so I don’t know if it gets involved later, but I don’t need to worry about it right now.
It’s an event that even involves the British princess knight, but right now I’m a three-year-old, so there are many things that take me in in many ways.
“Fortunately, there have been no additional incidents since the last Namjin Building incident.”
After the children filled the vacant seats, Kim Chan-ho came in and sat down on a chair next to the lecture table, wiggling his prosthetic leg and saying with a careless expression.
The part I need to pay attention to is this.
“The fact that there are no more incidents means that things are stabilizing. You just have to focus on your studies. Whether the culprit jumped out of fear or was unknowingly kidnapped by the enforcement and buried under Namsan, it will be one of the two, but I will bet on the latter.”
Kim Chan-ho, who was flipping through the file in his hand, looked up at the students who were looking at him.
“Good news. They said that the academy also lifted the ban on going out and continuing unfinished team fights. Golden Sun! Lee Young-woong!”
At his words, I jumped up from my seat in a conditioned reflex.
Looking back, Lee Young-woong was also standing in his seat and looking this way.
“It is a blessing to have two teams advance to the finals in one class. It’s definitely something to celebrate. That alone proves that you guys are working hard, but I hope that our class will come out with a winning team.”
-widely.
Kim Chan-ho, who threw the papers on the table, raised his lips and said.
“Don’t kill each other.”
I could feel Lee Young-woong’s gaze persistently staring at my back.
