Vice-president Cecilia was aware of the bad relationship between Yeonshimun and the New Human Society, so she didn’t need such a long explanation. Cecilia listened to the story of the opening ceremony with her hard face.
From noble mtl dot com
“It was a lot of hard work.”
Yeon Si-mun lowered his head.
“Sorry for the concern.”
Cecilia looked at Lee Do-jin this time.
“Cadet Lee Do-jin, please take a psychological medical examination. You killed too many people.”
Lee Do-jin nodded her head slowly.
“Okay.”
Saturday, Undiscovered Dungeon. It was Lee Do-jin alone who killed 5 members of the New People’s Association. It was an undeniable fact that many people were killed.
“I know it’s a fair murder. But many upright hunters turned into villains when those righteous murders gathered together and nothing happened.”
Hunters are fundamentally impoverished beings. This is because no matter how much a monster must be killed, it is still a living being.
Screams and spurts blood.
Hunters who deal only with monsters also have to pay attention to mental problems. There was nothing to talk about dealing with people.
So, members of the nationally recognized group ‘Choksaldan’, which deals with villains, received psychological tests once every three days.
“I’ll be careful.”
However, Lee Do-jin was not swayed by such bad feelings.
She couldn’t do that, she believed herself.
“Then, now it’s my turn to tell you what I have to say.”
Cecilia brought up a new topic.
“If this continues, the world will end.”
A very simple and clear topic.
***
Lee Do-jin could not easily organize what Cecilia had said for about 10 minutes in his head.
There is a tower in this world.
And she said that the floating tower was slowly descending.
The tower containing the end of the world.
“If you don’t keep clearing the tower’s certain floors, the tower will collapse. The currently attacked tower has 20 floors. And 10 years ago, the 20th floor was cleared by the president of Roas Academy and his colleagues. .Including characters from the Ten Zones and two of the Four Great Supermen.”
Lee Do-jin pointed out the points he was curious about.
“How many units do you have to complete the stair clearing?”
“Ten years.”
“How many floors does the tower have?”
To Dojin Lee’s words, Cecilia replied that the 100th floor was expected.
Cecilia continued.
“It’s been 9 years since I cleared the 20th floor this year. I don’t know what will happen if I don’t enter the 21st floor in January next year, which will be the 10th year.”
This time, Yeon Si-mun opened his mouth.
“Why doesn’t the tower stop going up from the 20th floor? After all, isn’t it the end of the 100th floor?”
Cecilia narrowed her blue eyes.
“Because there is inevitable death.”
At those words, Yeon Si-mun became even more suspicious.
“The president of the academy, the characters of the Ten Zones, and even the 4 superhumans, were there any monsters you couldn’t deal with?”
“The enemies lurking in the tower are different from the dungeons that currently exist. The monsters that pop out of the gate are different from the monsters. Snark, a snake from hell that is currently rated as SS. He is the monster that appears on the 15th floor and the monster at the level of the tower. Similar.”
“The 15th floor of the Snark?”
Yeon Si-mun wrinkled his brow at Cecilia’s words.
“The 15th floor where 30 S-class hunters have to gather and attack…”
Lee Do-jin agreed with the faint astonishment contained in Yeon Si-mun’s murmur.
Because I’ve seen the Snark video before. A monster with a body the size of a building that devours people whole.
Compared to other monsters, neither sword skill nor magical power took complete damage to his skin.
A guy like that is only on the 15th floor.
“The enemies of the tower are not monsters.”
Cecilia waited a moment before continuing her words.
“Apostle.”
Apostle.
Those who tried to become gods, but failed to become gods.
“All enemies in the tower are apostles.”
Lee Do-jin and Yeon Si-moon roughly understood the situation.
That the ‘peace’ people feel right now is all lies.
A cataclysm is about to happen. It’s been 54 years since monsters started appearing.
The dungeon attack and gate attack that have been stabilized due to the intact settlement of the hunter system and the leveling up of the hunters.
As a result, civilian damage has become extremely rare since 10 years ago.
People literally enjoyed the peace. Cultural life, which had been stopped, was activated again.
Famous hunters appear as actors. Peace enough to appear as a panel on an entertainment channel.
“Why did you hide the tower’s existence from people?”
Cecilia smiled bitterly at Lee Do-jin’s words.
“Because you will despair. If you knew that there was always a hammer that could crush this world that you believed was safe.”
Lee Do-jin and Yeon-si-mun, who chewed Cecilia’s sentences for a while, agreed with Cecilia’s words.
You will definitely despair. Especially for ordinary people who do not have the awakening power.
The perception of ‘peace’ that has been painstakingly built up in the tower will collapse at once.
Because it meant that the hunter ranks of S, A, B, C, and D would lose their meaning in front of the Tower.
“The reason I’m telling you this now is simple. Your life is precious. Next January. When the Hunters have to climb the tower again, there’s a good chance you two will receive an invitation from the tower.”
One of Cecilia’s two abilities, the
Eye of Truth, said that.
A golden aurora flowing through the bodies of Dojin Lee and Simun Yeon.
The aurora that can only be seen in Cecilia’s eyes represents the genius of humans.
The reason Cecilia called her ‘Golden Generation’, where there is one genius in each grade, was due to her own abilities.
The golden generation of 2nd and 4th graders who had an interview with the two people in front of them first.
These four beings possessed more talent than any hunters they had ever encountered.
‘As if the sky had foretold that this was an opportunity to attack the top of Korea.’
Cecilia didn’t think this was a coincidence.
“The New Human Society issue will be discussed with the upper part of Hunter to be sorted out as quickly as possible so that you don’t have to worry about it. You are a more valuable resource than you think.”
It means don’t die because there’s a place to use it.
Lee Do-jin felt that her head was getting extremely complicated.
That’s how the conversation ended.
***
I opened the door to the vice president’s office and came out. Yeon Si-moon senior walked in line with me.
“What do you think about the Vice President’s story?”
“It doesn’t sound like a lie.”
Because there was no reason for that.
“I’m not going to lie. I just don’t like it. Something is set.”
That was the same.
“I plan to end my revenge with my own hands. Rather than something abstract like the future of this world, I will move according to my desires.”
The senior stared at me intently.
“Do you think it’s selfish?”
“No.”
I didn’t think it was selfish at all.
“Tell me if you need help.”
Anyway, I was also in a position to face the New Humanity Society. It’s because the vice president Ryu So-hye can’t seem to stay still.
“I want juniors to listen to what the Vice President says.”
“I’m not the type to listen to what others say.”
The only thing that matters is my judgment.
Yeon Si-moon smiled.
“Let’s have another meal.”
“Yes, senpai.”
You must be referring to the dinners we often had together. It seemed that his thoughts had not yet been sorted out. It was worth it. Because it wasn’t normal.
After breaking up with senior Yeon Si-moon, I headed to the first combat class.
When I entered through the already open door, I was greeted by an unwelcome guest.
“Who is this? Do-jin has been looking for you for a long time.”
Baek Hwa-yeon lightly gestured at the uninvited guest in front of her.
A woman with light blue hair. Owned was
Sou-eun said her words with her shoulders trembling inexplicably.
” …I have something to tell you.”
I don’t know what to say, but it was obvious that if I did it here, it would only attract attention.
“Let’s talk on the front bench.”
I came down the stairs. So-eun also came down the stairs. The two didn’t talk at all.
So Yoo-eun hesitated and could not sit down.
“Sit down.”
Sou-eun nodded her head heavily, and she sat down on the bench.
“Speak quickly.”
So Yoo-eun stared at me intently.
Two dark eyes looked at me.
“We can’t go back then, can we?”
There was a slight tremor in his low voice.
At that time.
Awakened high school Is talking about the first year.
When So-eun recognizes my fighting talent and spares no effort in supporting me. And when I go to many places together with a sense of debt and gratitude for him.
Remembering that time, I felt more regret than displeasure.
It’s not because it didn’t work out with So-Eun right in front of you, but about the fact that you couldn’t get involved.
She regretted not rejecting her blind devotion.
It was useless help to me anyway.
However, in the end, all of this is a consequential story.
I dropped out of Athena and returned to my hometown, meeting Mistil Thein at his father’s studio.
Again, it was definitely the sense of defeat for those days that played a part in the driving force of running with clenched teeth.
It was a bloody effort stemming from the longing to never feel that defeat again.
Today, the silver I possess is.
I am just a cadet attending the same Iroas Academy. No excitement or emotion.
It couldn’t be anything more than a past relationship.
Rather, because of the existence of Geomje Sodaecheol, it could be less than that.
So So-Eun now is a pathetic puppet who follows her wrong father’s orders.
“I can’t go back.”
That’s why I answered calmly.
“I didn’t feel the need to go back then. The moment your father sent the hunters to take me by force, our relationship was completely wrong.”
Despair dwells in So-eun’s eyes at my cold answer.
“…As expected.”
So Yoo-eun clenched both fists.
“My father told me to ask. Don’t tell me to wait vaguely. He told me to set the exact date.”
Swordsmith Sodaecheol.
Does he intend to cross the line firmly? If you see that he tried to kidnap me by sending hunters out of the blue, he must have thought that he would turn me into an idiot.
Rather good.
It’s enough to destroy such rubbish.
“The day after summer vacation.”
So Yoo-eun nodded.
“Okay, I’ll give it to you.”
So Yoon-eun turned her body and walked away from me.
I hoped.
Please, I hope Soyoun doesn’t cross this line anymore.
