Dimension Weaver: My Wife Is The Dragon Empress!

38  Chapter 38- Twisted Rim Kyung (Part 1)

"I'm Talon. Nice to meet all of you." Talon replied, unaware of the deep impression he left on the three students.

Then, he turned to Hyun-Jae who was in deep thought. "Is he someone that we should worry about?" He asked her.

"He's annoying and very much a scumbag. But, he shouldn't be a problem for us." She replied as she shook her head.

"I see. Ok, I guess it's clear where we're going for now."

"Mmm, I need to talk with that Rim Kyung bastard directly. Letting him take control of the lives of those people is a spell for destruction."

As the two conversed with each other, the three students watched them silently. They didn't even know how to react to this scene. An average-looking man was talking with Hyun-Jae so casually as if they were close friends.

What was even more alerting was that Hyun-Jae didn't seem to mind it at all. In fact, from what the trio saw, she didn't even look at Talon at all when he stood next to her as if it was the most natural thing.

That raised suspicion in their minds as it was a very abnormal occurrence. And those suspicions were further pushed by the way Talon and Hyun-Jae were talking.

'Is he her… her… boyfriend?!' Go Young-Soon looked at his friends silently. His eyes were more than enough to convey what he was thinking of.

'That's impossible, right? It's Miss President we're talking about. She probably refused all the most popular and successful men in the world. Why would she date him?' Hei-Ran shook her head.

'But, look at them, they're awfully close. Also, look at how she stares at him.' Mo Shin pointed out with a pale expression.

The trio immediately looked at Hyun-Jae only to be shell-shocked by what they saw. Hyun-Jae had a completely different aura around her, far from her usually calm and stoic personality.

Her eyes shone with a bright light when they looked at him and it was hard to not notice.

She seemed eager to talk to Talon and she probably wasn't even aware of it. That fact alone shattered their suspicions that these two didn't have anything going on between them.

'Miss President is in a relationship… Is this the end of the world?' Mo Shin thought to himself.

'What kind of man is he to capture her heart? How brilliant is he to exceed the creme of the crop of this country?' Hei-Ran mused.

"Oi, you three! What are you doing?" Talon's voice suddenly reached their ears and snapped them out of their thoughts.

"W-We apologize!!" Go Young-Soon panicked visibly.

"Y-Yeah, we're deeply sorry!" Hei-Ran added.

"Hm?" Talon tilted his head in confusion. "What's up with them, really?"

"I don't want to even know," Acrypha said as she shook the empty bag with an annoyed look.

"We're going to the gymnasium." Hyun-Jae clapped her hands and said.

"R-Really?" Go Young-Soon frowned visibly.

The trio were nervous to go back after what they went through but they had no other choice. Besides, they had the two strongest allies they could possibly get. No one will be able to harass them.

"Hopefully…"

So, the group finally started moving again. The gymnasium was a few hundred meters away so the trip wasn't going to take long.

A few monsters were roaming the area. When they noticed them, they quickly attacked without hesitation.

A giant rabid dog approached the group from the side. Hyun-Jae was about to kill it when Talon tapped her shoulder. "Leave it to me. I will take this side and you take the other side."

"Sure."

*Growl*

The dog's saliva dripped endlessly as it ran at Talon. The latter pulled his spear and with a swift move sliced the monster before it could reach him. Blood splattered everywhere as the monster's head fell to the ground.

[Ding!]

[You have killed a level 6 Green Hound.]

"... Wow…" The three students were impressed by Talon's strength.

'How did he kill that thing so quickly? He didn't even look like he was trying.' Perhaps the reason Hyun-Jae took him as her boyfriend was his crushing strength. It did make sense since Talon had unimaginable power.

"Here. This is another energy core. It's really annoying that we aren't finding any skills, weapons, or potions." Talon said as he handed Hyun-Jae the core.

"They're rare. But, I'm sure we will find more in the future."

"Yeah, you need to improve your sword. It's not helpful that it's barely able to kill monsters level 7 and below."

Hyun-Jae's sword was mediocrely average with no bonus stats or any special abilities. Because they didn't find any other weapons, she didn't mind using that one.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine with this one for now."

"Mmm, excuse us…"

"What?"

"But… How did you guys get this strong?" Go Young-Soon asked.

Talon and Hyun-Jae looked at each other for a moment before they shrugged. "We killed monsters. It's very simple and straightforward."

'That's far from simple!! You two are not normal!' The trio screamed in their heads.

"Hey, hey, it's not time for chit-chat now. The gymnasium is around the corner."

Talon then made the three students start walking again. A few minutes later, they were standing in front of the gymnasium entrance.

The three students were noticeably pale and terrified but they still held their feet. Talon noticed that and approached them.

"Don't worry, let me and Hyun-Jae deal with it, ok? Nobody's going to touch you." He said with a reassuring smile.

"... Mm, thank you!" Hei-Ran said with a small blush. For some reason, Talon's smile felt really attractive to her.

"Haha, no worries. We just want to help." "W-We appreciate it." Hei-Ran averted her eyes as she started rolling a strand of her brown hair.

Hyun-Jae watched the scene from the side silently. Her eyes flashed with a weird glint for a split second before she turned around and approached the gate of the gymnasium.

*Knock* *Knock*

She knocked loudly on the door as if she wanted to smash it and then stepped back and waited. Talon stood next to her and watched closely. A few seconds passed in silence before they heard footsteps coming from inside.

"Who is it?" A voice asked in a clearly wary tone.

"Open the door, we're humans," Talon replied.

Silence took over for a few more seconds before the voice finally replied again. "How many of you?"

"Five people. We came here seeking safety."

"... We have no space for five people. I'm sorry to say that!" The voice replied.

"Huh?" Talon raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean there is no space? Open the door." He said.

"I said no space. The place is choke full of people. Leave!" Talon was even more shocked by the reply. The voice didn't seem bothered that five people were asking for help. He didn't even seem like he cared whether they died or not. That really pissed him off.

'Ok, I'm about to smash that door open.' Talon clenched his fists as he tried to step forward. However, Hyun-Jae grabbed his wrist and shook her head. "Let me handle it." She whispered softly before stepping forward.

"I'm Ran Hyun-Jae. I came here to talk with Rim Kyung."

"W-What?! Did you say 'Ran Hyun-Jae'?!" The voice was audibly shocked.

"... W-Wait a second!"

after that, they heard footsteps going away.

"Are you sure that Rim Kyung guy would want to talk to you?" Talon asked.

"If it's the same Rim Kyung that I know, he would use any opportunity to try and mock me so that he can feel superior. He wouldn't want me to die outside."

"Ugh, that's twisted." Talon frowned.

"That's why we need to deal with him if he does anything bad."

"Deal with him, huh…"

Talon knew that Hyun-Jae didn't mean killing Rim Kyung. But, he could only ask himself: If killing was out of the question, then how do you deal with a human in an apocalyptic world like this one?

"Your first human kill might come sooner than you expect, Talon," Acrypha said when she noticed the change in his expression.

"Sigh, I know. But, I don't know if I'm ready for it."

"You will have to be ready to do it. Not everyone is worth sparing. Some need the blade on their necks or they will do more harm than good."

Talon knew that fact and he probably will meet such people in the future. But, still, killing a fellow human being was a brutal task.

A minute passed before they heard footsteps coming toward the door again, this time, it was more than one person.

Then, the door started opening slowly, revealing two guys who peeked outside. They scanned everyone with their eyes before their gaze fell on Hyun-Jae.

"It's really Ran Hyun-Jae..." One of them said in shock. "She's still alive." The other said.

"Now, will you open the door?"

"The boss said that only you are allowed to enter. The others need to leave." The guy said.

Hyun-Jae raised an eyebrow as she smiled dangerously. "Oh, so that's what he said? Well, tell him that he has 30 seconds to open the door before we blast it open ourselves."

Hyun-Jae's patience with this bastard was running thin, especially with his ridiculous requests. Leaving 4 people outside just so that he can see his rival under his control? How messed up was that!

"Hey hey~ Is there really a need for violence, dear?" At that moment, a playful voice spoke out of nowhere.
