Episode 142

Johanna’s power of action was as extraordinary as her desire for knowledge. Taemin Kang clearly realized that fact.

“I heard about it, but seeing it in person is different.”

From well-built research facilities to defensive structures such as barrier formation devices and mana gatling guns. These were the facilities she prepared in just a few days.

“Even the association gave it away cheaply because it was a place where hemp was stuck.”

Johanna replied in a tone that said it was nothing.

“Well, I was worried about the noise at the time, but the inside seems to be fine?”

“Because the deep sea monsters were cleaned up on the shore, and the followers of madness were immediately subdued.”

“Didn’t you deal with the apostle?”

“It was.”

They were on Crown Island for the Youth Hunter Championship. Johanna bought this place that the Society had almost abandoned.

one purpose.

It was for the treatment of North Koreans brought by Kang Tae-min.

“What did you say to the Association?”

“What do you say? I spoke frankly.”

“Honestly?”

“My guild keeps breaking out, so I’d rather study here. Aren’t you lying?”

It certainly wasn’t a lie. There were only facts that were intentionally hidden.

“And even if the research is successful, we need to see the progress. Even in the worst case, if this is an island, no one else will be harmed.”

“You are right.”

Even if treatment failed, the response was easy. Kang Tae-min hoped that such a thing would not happen, but he did not know the world.

“Then let’s start with transporting patients.”

“I see.”

Kang Tae-min opened a sub-space. Johanna reached out to the people who were still fainting.

The air shook and people floated up.

“Thank you for your help.”

“This is all part of the study.”

She smiled lightly. Kang Tae-min came up with one last thing to point out.

“How are you going to secure the seed?”

Originally, the raw material of the seed was human brain tissue. The number of seeds needed to treat this many people would have been quite considerable.

Nobody increased their number with the power of Hands and Torso, but what was Johanna up to? Unlike the cataclysmic period, it would be difficult to use the corpse.

‘Even if the president of the association helped, the number would be limited.’

Seol Gyu-jin’s condition was recovering day by day thanks to Seol Ga-eun’s efforts. However, the decline in abilities caused by the damage to the soul has not been recovered.

Even if he used his cloning ability, there would be limits.

“I know what you are worried about. But the last time we talked about it at the meeting, I didn’t say it without thinking.”

“What do you mean?”

“Unlike then, the purpose is different. It’s not artificially creating an Awakener, but colliding the magic of Lunatic Money and the Seed, so there’s no need to use human souls as ingredients.”

Kang Tae-min immediately sensed the alternative she had prepared.

“… I see, you intend to use the corpses of monsters.”

“yes. As long as it contains a soul, it can create a seed. Coincidentally, our guild regularly purchases corpses for research.”

Taemin Kang shook his head.

“All right. Then, please take care of me.”

Johanna’s ability to act was supported by her ability to act.

Wounds tended to heal, even if they left scars. The same was the case with the scratches of chimeras that appeared throughout the city.

The city has been restored and people have returned to their normal lives. Noblesse Academy did the same.

“It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve been together in the classroom.”

“Yeah.”

“Did you see that the headmaster was so sullen?”

“The assistant principal said something else.”

The students who returned to the classroom after a long time chatted.

“But they said it was being repaired, and our class has completely changed.”

“Seriously, it used to be chalk and blackboard. I wondered if the chairs and desks were rotting and breaking.”

“mind! Our homeroom teacher, Gao, is there!”

The special class classrooms have also been completely remodeled. As before, not only desks and chairs, but also lecture tables and blackboards are neatly equipped with the latest technology.

It also meant that the perception of the special class had changed.

“As expected, people are doing well and it’s something to see.”

“Hey, teacher is coming.”

The sound of footsteps echoed in the hallway. The flirting students immediately corrected their posture.

It was thanks to the fact that their skills were better than before, and the five senses of the special class students became more sensitive as well.

The front door was gently pushed aside and opened. The classroom door was also changed from a sliding door to an automatic door that opens with a switch.

However, Kang Tae-min and Lee Lua’s appearances were the same as usual.

“Mr. Lua.”

“Yes.”

Irua handed out the paper she had brought to the students without any explanation.

‘what’s this?’

‘No, are you already doing this?’

The students looked at the paper and opened their eyes wide. Taemin Kang looked at the students and opened his mouth.

“You will know when you see the contents. I don’t think there are any guys who haven’t learned Korean yet.”

Since there weren’t that many students, it was quick to distribute the papers. Iruah immediately returned and stood behind Kang Taemin. She glanced at the letters engraved on the paper she handed out to the students.

[Career counseling]

To some extent, Eruah could sympathize with the feelings of the students.

‘I’m sure he didn’t think much of it.’

However, she had already heard the story from Kang Tae-min once.

“It usually takes two years to graduate, but you guys can graduate early after this year.”

“OMG… .”

“really?”

Some students were surprised to the extent that they forgot their previous education and raised their voices. Kang Tae-min had no intention of scolding him, but the students immediately closed their mouths and noticed.

“Of course, when you graduate is your choice. There is no need to immediately say that the requirements have been met. But at least you will need to worry.”

Until now, Kang Tae-min has strictly controlled students to prevent them from escaping.

‘But it’s enough not to become a villain.’

The reality has already completely changed from before the return. Even Kang Tae-min could not know the future after this.

‘At least I won’t become a wicked person.’

He had no intention of controlling the lives of his students, and even their futures. If someone wants to graduate early, I will respect that choice.

“I am not asking you to write down the answer right away. But someday I will have to fill that void.”

But I didn’t want to go out without thinking. The career counseling papers handed out were just for the purpose of making them think about their future.

“Of course it will be difficult. That is why we need help, and that is why we have teachers.”

Taemin Kang said that and gestured towards Leeruah behind him. She stood by Kang Tae-min.

“Good for anyone. If you need it, ask for a consultation and we will help you.”

The students’ expressions became complicated. Kang Tae-min guessed that there would not be many people who would ask him for counseling.

‘That’s why I gave you a word in advance.’

On the other hand, Lee Woo-ah took on the role of a carrot under Kang Tae-min’s direction. Even if it was a bit hard carrot, anyway.

“It is more than that. Today is the time to use the head rather than the body.”

Kang Tae-min dismissed it and left. Irua naturally followed suit.

Only after the door closed did the students blink as if they had woken up from hypnosis.

“what?”

“You can graduate in one year?”

“No, I wanted to graduate quickly, but… .”

“Evande… .”

Students poured out their words as if a piled up dam burst. They naturally gathered close friends and talked.

“What, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ I’ve heard of this.”

“Still, the teacher is definitely the teacher.”

“Is something strange?”

“It means that not all teachers are the same.”

“Write… Shall I get a consultation from my homeroom teacher… .”

“Not Teacher Lua?”

“Ah, I thought I would too.”

“Sincerity?”

“It’s a bit scary, but it’s true that the homeroom teacher is better than teacher Lua, isn’t it?”

The students’ reactions were different from Kang Tae-min’s expectations.

‘Aren’t you being pushed back in turn? Should I do it right away?’

‘No, I’d rather get scolded if I said that.’

‘After graduation… .’

‘I can’t live as I used to.’

Still, as Kang Tae-min intended, the students began to seriously think about their future.

* * *

A haggard man was lying on the bed. Are you even dreaming? Inside the closed eyelids, the eyes rolled back and forth.

But as if it wasn’t a very good dream, he twisted his face.

“eww… ugh… .”

A suppressed moan escaped his lips. By the time the cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

“Uhhhhh… !”

He blinked and opened his eyes. Breathing heavily, he opened his eyes and looked around.

“Hey, this is… .”

“You are awake.”

He shuddered at the sound of the voice and turned his gaze away. A white-haired beauty stood there.

“Uh, what happened? What about the soldiers?”

He crouched down as if frightened and rolled his eyes. Despite such a response, the woman showed no emotion such as pity or embarrassment.

“You have nothing to worry about. It is safe here.”

“All, who are you? Where else are you… !?”

But the man’s vigilance did not soften.

“I am Rex, and this is my hideout.”

“What, what is it? no, no, that’s fine. Please let me out. I just want to go home… !”

He shook his head wildly and tried to get up. But it couldn’t be.

“of course. I will do whatever you want.”

Someone appeared in front of him. But he couldn’t figure out who it was.

“All, you… ?”

A neat suit appeared in front of me. However, his body was painted with graffiti as if it had been scribbled on.

“Yes, you can see me. You have qualities.”

“endowment… ?”

“Well, let’s start with an introduction. Even if it’s an introduction, it’s a little difficult because I don’t have a name, but since everyone calls me a no-name, I think you can call it that.”

No Name smiled and sat down. Papers flew in front of him.

“Kim Seong-soo, are you sure?”

“Yes, yes. you’re right.”

“This document is a statement found in the bunker where Mr. Kim Seong-soo was confined. It was written quite interestingly.”

Noname let out a light laugh, but soon changed his voice.

“Oh, sorry. This is no laughing matter. You must have suffered quite a bit. It seems that those soldiers were interrogators and did some pretty brutal things.”

“that’s… .”

“Come on, let’s cover up the painful memories. Shouldn’t we be looking to the future? And you have to finish this quickly so you can go home.”

At those words, Kim Sung-soo nodded vigorously. Then, I heard light clapping from No-Name’s side.

The painted body didn’t move at all, but it was clearly audible in his ears.

“The highlight is this. Here, is it true what you said, ‘One day I suddenly opened my eyes and it was a different world.’”

Seongsu Kim swallowed dry saliva. The soldiers who found him did not believe it.

“… Yes, that’s right.”

But it was true. He suddenly woke up in another world and went through all sorts of hardships.

“Barely, barely came back. But there are monsters here too, and people use magic and it was so confusing.”

Seongsu Kim was worried that he might have been caught up in another world. However, the soldiers he met were certain to be Koreans from his hometown.

It didn’t have the hospitality he expected, but he was happy to be back. At least until they were caught in the hands of soldiers.

“It’s not crazy, it’s not delusional. Everything written there is true.”

“Hmm, is that so? Then you must know how to use the magic called necromancer.”

No Name said in a satisfied voice.

“Because they were called ‘Necrod’ there.”
