The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 30

The journey to the BattleNet Academy was not smooth from the school entrance.

"...How did you get here?"

A small car was blocked by a security guard from the main gate.

The security guard looked at the car with a suspicious gaze.

"Um, I'm a student here."

"Oh, so you're Yoon Sae-ah. This car is not registered in the database. Would you like to register it?"

"Yes."

"Alright. You may pass."

After Yoon Sae-ah showed her student ID, the security guard registered the car's number and let her in. But...

"Huh, what's a running doing at the academy?"

"It's Yoon Sae-ah. That girl seems to be really messed up. But who's next to her?"

"That's her uncle. The one who broke the Twin Sword's record."

"Oh!"

The sound of security guards whispering to each other could be heard from behind the open car window.

"Uncle, you can go this way."

Yoon Sae-ah must have heard those words near her ear, but she pretended not to hear and smiled mischievously, guiding Sung JiHan to the underground parking lot of the academy.

The underground parking lot was as spacious as the Sword Palace's underground parking lot.

There was plenty of space to park one car after another, and occasionally, the cars parked there were all high-end foreign cars.

Although it is often said that there are more foreign cars than domestic cars in Gangnam.

"There's not a single domestic car here."

On the contrary, since all the surrounding cars were foreign cars, this car that was driving through the parking lot stood out even more.

"Over there... Let's park next to the elevator."

"Number 17?"

"Yeah, I usually park here."

It was on the first floor of the underground parking lot, next to the elevator.

Creak-

Sung JiHan, who parked the car, asked casually.

"What time does the class end?"

"Um... around 3 o'clock? Will you come pick me up?"

"That should be fine. I'll just stay here and play a game on BattleNet."

"Come on, let's go home. It's inconvenient. What about lunch?"

If he plays a game on BattleNet and thinks more about the Three Sword Formation, time will pass quickly.

Sung JiHan waved his hand towards Yoon Sae-ah, who was looking at him worriedly.

"Don't worry about me, miss."

"But still..."

If Sung JiHan doesn't wait here, Yoon Sae-ah, with her personality, will probably take the bus back.

Then there would be no point in bringing her here this morning.

"Contact me."

"Ugh, seriously..."

Since it seemed impossible to convince her, Yoon Sae-ah got out of the car with a fluttering heart.

As Se-ah tried to pass through the automatic door to get on the elevator...

Ssssshhhh-

Sung JiHan's luxury sedan stopped next to where Se-ah parked, and a middle-aged man with a bulky figure popped out.

"Hey! How dare you park such a crappy car here!"

The man who shouted loudly had a very rough and unpleasant appearance, far from being a chauffeur.

"Do you know where this is? Move your car right now!"

Is this the trouble that Yoon Se-ah mentioned?

"I thought it would be just something to laugh at from behind, but I didn't expect him to start a fight so openly."

Sung JiHan didn't feel the need to respond to his words.

Instead, he just covered the middle-aged man's mouth with his index finger.

"Can't you come out? Who the hell is in this car... huh!?"

In an instant, the chauffeur's mouth stiffened.

It was because of Sung JiHan's force.

Even though the abilities of the BattleNet were weakly applied in the real world, the power of force that dominated space was enough to shut someone's mouth.

"Uh, uh..."

The middle-aged man tried his best to open his mouth, but his face just twitched and his jaw seemed to be glued shut and wouldn't open.

And it wasn't just his mouth that didn't move.

"M-My, my body won't move!"

As if trapped in concrete, he couldn't move at all, standing straight.

Meanwhile, Sung JiHan casually waved his hand to Yoon Se-ah with a calm face.

"Se-ah."

"Uncle... Don't wait here, go home. I think the student council work is delayed. I don't know when it will end. And on top of that..."

Yoon Se-ah glanced at the middle-aged man and said so, but...

"What kind of trouble is this? Don't worry, I'll take care of it, so let me know when it's over."

"Ugh..."

Sung JiHan seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.

Yoon Se-ah sighed and looked at him, wondering what to do.

Clank-

The back door of the sedan opened and someone got out.

"What's going on?"

A female student appeared with her arms crossed.

She had a tall and slender figure, and although she had a haughty and cold impression...

When she saw Yoon Se-ah, she quickly approached with a smiling face.

"Oh my, Se-ah! Are you leaving school now?"

"Yeah. Long time no see, Hee-soo."

Yoon Se-ah greeted her with a wave of her hand.

Kim Hee-soo.

They started their relationship after Yoon Se-ah entered the BattleNet Academy.

Now they were so close that they were running for vice president together in the student council election.

"Did you change your car?"

"Yeah. I decided to get the one I used to ride repaired. But Se-ah, what about you..."

Kim Hee-soo glanced at the compact car Sung JiHan was driving and looked worried.

"What happened to your old cars? Why do you have that kind of car...?"

"Ah. Dad sold all the cars."

"...Wow. Really?"

As Yoon Sae-ah casually mentioned it, Kim Hee-soo made a pitiful expression.

"Riding that kind of car to school... It seems like it would attract a lot of attention. Do you want to go to school together when we go home? I'll drop you off at Sword Palace."

"Oh, well..."

"What's the big deal between friends?"

When Kim Hee-soo smiled brightly and said that, Yoon Sae-ah looked at Sung JiHan.

"Uncle, what should we do?"

There doesn't seem to be a need to refuse when a friend offers to give a ride on a narrow road.

'Sea's friends cut off contact after the Sword King went to Japan....'

Sea's friends, who wanted to become friends with her because of the Sword King, quickly distanced themselves when he left for Japan.

The group of high school girls who used to come to the penthouse to hang out no longer came.

Even Yoon Sae-ah, who used to talk about her friends often, suddenly stopped mentioning them.

But now, at this time, there is a friend who is pretending to be close?

'I'll wait and see for a bit.'

Sung JiHan thought that and answered Yoon Sae-ah's question.

"I think I'll be fine."

"Well... then, Uncle. I'll ride Hee-soo's car today! Uncle can't keep waiting here."

"Okay. I got it. Did you say Hee-soo Yang? I'll rely on you."

When Sung JiHan told Kim Hee-soo that, she smiled brightly and nodded.

"Yes. Sea's uncle. But, um...?"

"...?"

"Can you release my driver, please?"

Whether she saw Sung JiHan's broadcast or not, Kim Hee-soo seemed to know about his abilities.

Snap.

When Sung JiHan flicked his finger, the hesitant driver slumped down.

"Oh... oh...?"

He relaxed for a moment, relieved.

"Are you still driving a shitty car?"

"Oh, no!"

The grumpy driver trembled and quickly stepped back.

He didn't want to experience the previous incident again.

* * *

Leaving behind the work with Sae-ah and leaving the parking lot.

"When I get home, I need to start up BattleNet right away."

Sung JiHan's current goal was the August Promotion Battle on August 25th.

If he consistently ranked first in every game, he would be able to barely reach level 25.

In addition, he had to make an appointment with Masid and research the Epic Quest for the Survival Map, so he had a lot to do.

Weeeeeeng-!

The barrier at the entrance of the academy opened.

Amidst the mocking gazes of the security guards, Sung JiHan's compact car drove out.

"Ha, it's impressive to bring that kind of car to the BattleNet Academy."

"Instagram-worthy, huh."

Click.

A security guard raised his phone and took a picture of me with the phone's camera, then uploaded it to social media.

It was a thoughtless upload.

-Even the Sung JiHan, the Sword Palace, has fallen like this... He's thinking of commuting on a running board.

└ Even if he's fallen, he has 50 billion won, right?

└ It doesn't seem like a concern for a security guard.

└ Still, he's riding a running board to the BattleNet Academy. Is he trying to show off? LOL

In an instant, this picture gathered people's attention and soon became a news article.

And this was it.

"Sung JiHan has come out of the Sword Palace."

It caught the attention of various guild officials.

* * *

[Running through the BattleNet Academy. Who is inside?]

A small photo article appeared early in the morning.

At first, it didn't receive much attention, but when it was revealed that Sung JiHan and Yoon SeA were inside, it quickly became a hot topic.

The Sword King issue was still shaking Korea, so it was possible.

-Even though the tuition for a semester at the BattleNet Academy is 300 million won, they're riding a running board.

-Still haven't deposited in the New Self-Defense Force? What kind of running board is this?

-Isn't it sponsored by Daehyun Group? It's going viral.

└Are they sponsoring an old model?

Unlike the general public who simply treated it as gossip, Lee Ha-yeon, the head of the Intelligence Guild, looked at the article with shining eyes.

"Ga Young, you should be waiting in the academy parking lot early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, understood."

Asking Sung JiHan for his number and being harshly rejected was just yesterday.

But even so, Lee Ha-yeon didn't feel discouraged. On the contrary, she was more determined.

There's no tree that doesn't fall after being hit ten times, right?

'I have to recruit him somehow before others do.'

Lee Ha-yeon recalled Sung JiHan's performance in the game yesterday.

Not only did he defeat countless enemies alone at the top of the tower, but he also took down the Flash Golem, a sub-boss that even Gold-rank warriors have a hard time dealing with.

'It was truly an insane sight...'

To the point where it was hard to believe.

In the BattleNet community, there was a heated debate about this, related to Sung JiHan's performance.

-That... Did he defeat it after receiving a buff?

-There was no scene of him receiving a buff, though?

-Well, how can he defeat it without a buff? Even Gold-rank warriors have a hard time doing it alone.

-He probably received a buff from the Spirit Power.

-Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

So, the debate went from whether Sung JiHan received a buff or not.

The conclusion was that "Sung JiHan defeated the Flash Golem with a Crystal buff from the Spirit Power!"

Even though it was said that the game had no balance, it was still unbelievable that a Bronze-rank defeated a Flash Golem with his bare hands.

'Whether he received a buff or not, the important thing is that he defeated the Flash Golem in one hit.'
