Chapter 59
Episode 59 First turning point (2)
“It’s really fortunate. Cadet Min Jae-hyeon and cadet Seo In-ah. We sincerely apologize for not being able to save you because there was a problem with the dungeon. I’m really sorry.”
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon bowed her head down to her waist and apologized, but Jae-hyun was apathetic.
Seo In-na may also have remembered Jae-hyun’s words, but she only tries to grasp her intentions with cold eyes.
Jaehyun smiled and put his hands in his pockets.
“no. Instructor Kim Ji-yeon didn’t intentionally set us into a trap.”
It was a strangely boned horse.
Jaehyun laughed lightly.
‘I have to do this much to get my senses out.’
At the same time as thinking so, Jaehyun pondered over the seriousness of this simulated dungeon incident.
‘by the way. How the hell do you get a cadet who is still only in the first year to deal with a B-class boss monster? No matter how much Gu Jain said he was about to leave, I remember that he didn’t do anything like this.’
It was strange.
Gu Ja-in is of course a wicked person, and he uses the academy cadets as tools, but it was within the reasonable range he could handle, and he hadn’t acted impatiently from the beginning.
that is so. In the end, it meant that Jaehyun was acting as a big variable and that he was included in Gu Jain’s plan.
‘It’s not an easy opponent to deal with. Goo Jain… It’s more dangerous than expected.’
While organizing her thoughts, Seo Ina tapped Jaehyun on the shoulder and asked.
“……Hey, Jaehyun.”
“huh?”
“……About future plans, I don’t know if something like this will happen again…….”
Seo Ina asked while observing the people around her, but Jaehyun shook her head resolutely.
“You said it earlier. You should not be included in my future plans.”
“……but.”
“Sorry. Inaya. I’m tired, so I’ll go in first. Please keep your promise.”
Jaehyun left Seo Ina behind and headed to the hotel where he was staying.
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon tried to catch Jae-hyun. After seeing his torn cadet uniform and deep cuts on his abdomen, I let him escape without burying any more.
There is evidence that they had a tough fight even if they didn’t say anything.
There. The reason I ask about this is because I still have plenty of time tomorrow and I haven’t decided how to respond to Min Jae-hyun.
* * *
Returning to the hotel, Jaehyun immediately threw away his torn clothes and went into the shower.
There is no big problem with school uniforms because the academy provides two sets every month anyway.
Of course, it is a story that is no different from the unspoken pressure that two sets of school uniforms every month are rolled to the point where they become rags, but Jaehyun has already experienced it once.
It wasn’t surprising.
While getting hit with water to erase the bloody marks, she used «Sacrifice».
Unlike Yoo Sung-eun, who could not heal himself, Jae-hyun was able to do this because there were no skill restrictions.
It was all thanks to the special effect of the blank card.
Geeeeee…
As soon as the green light seeps into Jaehyun’s body, his body begins to slowly recover.
The torn part is sutured, and the bloody abdomen heals.
Jaehyun looked at him and nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Because of my alibi, I thought I was going to die from being so bitter that I couldn’t even get treatment.”
Just now. If he too wanted to heal, he too could heal his own wounds.
However, the reason for not doing so was to deceive the eyes of Guin and the instructors.
Rather, he reached the point of self-inflicting wounds on his body that had been healed by leveling up.
If the two cadets didn’t have enough wounds to kill the B-class boss monster, that’s because there’s really nothing to say even if they’re suspicious.
That’s why, after getting hurt, he activates Sacrifice to heal.
Jaehyun, who was hit by the pouring water, suddenly turned off the faucet and raised his head.
“I need to be more careful when contacting Seo Eana.”
Anyway, Kim Yoo-jung will die in the future.
It’s a situation where you have no choice but to intervene.
But it wasn’t Seo Ina.
She is a talented person who will grow into a great radar even without Jaehyun.
Through this battle, Jaehyun realized that Ina Seo relied on him more than he thought.
And there was a high possibility that it would poison her and herself someday.
“Contact is kept to a minimum. Even if it does, it will not change the future.”
It was a simple conclusion.
Of course, if I judged selfishly, I could use her more, but I didn’t have the confidence to do that.
A man who risked his life for himself.
He hated that such a person would die or be in danger by being involved with him.
even.
“The first thing is to find out the connection between < < Odin's Raven > and Gujain. There must be something.”
Jaehyun was convinced.
No matter how much Goo Jain’s magical powers were extended, this event crossed the line.
A human with the ability to train B-class monsters?
It is impossible for such an existence to exist.
“The enemies of the Nornir system are the thrones of the Aesir and Odin’s ravens. If Gu Ja-in is deeply involved in this…”
Fortunately, there was no chance of dying even if he confronted Gu Ja-in right now.
Gu Jain’s mind manipulation magic doesn’t work on Jaehyun at all.
Thanks to «Hell’s Divine Protection», she is not affected by abnormal conditions, and other magic can also be destroyed with «Absolute Calculation».
As long as the magic power remains. He will never be defeated by Gu Jain.
It’s just the environment he’s surrounded by that can’t kill him right now. And it is because we need to find out what kind of contact there is between the crow and it.
‘We mustn’t kill Goo Jain hastily yet.’
Jaehyun made a decision.
For now, it is more important than anything else to recover your body and become stronger.
he recalled at the same time.
How to become stronger.
* * *
After finishing the conversation with Instructor Kim Ji-yeon, Seo In-na also returned to the hotel.
Kim Yoo-jung, whose eyes were puffy, was with them side by side.
On the way back, Kim Yoo-jung had just proposed to Seo E-na to have dinner together, and Seo E-na couldn’t leave her alone, who was crying out loud because of herself.
Jaehyun said he would not come.
Kim Yu-jung contacted him first and told him to come several times, but he kept avoiding him. I’m tired today, I just kept repeating that I couldn’t do it right now.
At his words, Kim Yoo-jung gave up first.
Usually, it is her nature to bring her by force, but now, Jaehyun would have been quite surprised, so it was a consideration of her own.
“Anyway, Ina. Is it really that there was a kobold rod in it?”
“……Yes.”
“But why did it take you two so long? If the two of you had the skills, you could have done it right away and came out. Were there any other problems?”
“…Actually, there were a lot of variables in the middle, so it had to take a long time.”
“variable?”
“…huh.”
Even as Kim Yoo-jung listened to Seo In-na’s words, her face still seemed incomprehensible.
In her opinion, the Kobold Lord was enough to defeat them even if they faced each other alone.
Especially in the case of Jaehyun, I don’t know much about it, but he’s capable of lightly killing two or three by himself.
Why did those two struggle against such a D-class boss?
Even the clothes of Jaehyun, who was returning a moment ago, were torn, and the abdomen and arms were soaked with red blood.
This means that the two of them went through unexpected things in the dungeon.
As the silence continued, Seo Ina hesitated and apologized to Kim Yoo-jung.
“……Sorry. for worrying you.”
“Oh no! What is that…… Didn’t Min Jaehyun just get annoyed? He always does that when there are two of them.”
“…….”
I was in a hurry, so I just spat out something, but strangely, there was no answer.
Kim Yoo-jung grabbed Seo In-na’s shoulder as if she had sensed something.
Seo Eana seemed a little surprised, but she didn’t hesitate.
“what’s the matter. Did the real Min Jaehyun say anything bad to you?”
“……Yoojung.”
“huh?”
When Kim Yu-jung asked back, Seo E-na made a slightly gloomy expression.
She licked her lips several times, then paused, and then finally said as if she was going to spit it out.
“……Jaehyun seems to believe in you a lot.”
“……What the hell happened in that dungeon?”
In response to Kim Yu-jung’s question, Seo E-na did not answer and just lowered her head.
I made a promise to Jaehyun.
I will never tell anyone what happened in this dungeon.
And it was the same for Kim Yoo-jung.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel frustrated and upset.
He risked his life to fight to save Jaehyun. Being caught in a mana rebound and dying. It was something everyone did knowingly.
‘……Jaehyun. It would be nice if you could rely on me a little more.’
Are you still not trusting yourself?
Jaehyun was strong.
So much so that you can’t even compare yourself.
And again, I made the hardest decision to make to save the party.
In order to save himself, he even used his hidden power.
If he’s usually deep in thought, he’s hiding his ability. If you can’t tell the details to yourself. I also know that there must be a deep reason that I can’t explain.
but.
“……just. I’m a little upset.”
I was a little sad.
She doesn’t even know why she feels this way.
Is it because I haven’t interacted with others for too long?
In hindsight, Jaehyun did not turn his back on himself as a colleague.
Having a few secrets is a problem, but it doesn’t really hurt her.
But this unknown feeling seemed to eat her constantly.
“……?”
while thinking about it. Kim Yoo-jung put her hand on her head and stroked it lightly.
“I don’t know what’s going on… Min Jae-hyun may look like a bully, but he’s not a bad kid. Whatever it is, don’t worry too much, I’ll talk about it later.”
“……huh.”
Seo In-na’s voice that answered like that was lacking in strength.
* * *
After returning from the mock dungeon practice, Jaehyun reflected on the battle with the Kobold Lord.
The destructive power that comes from the overwhelming power of the club and its terrifying magical power.
It was to the point that even now he couldn’t handle it alone.
‘If it wasn’t for Ina’s help, I would have surely died.’
Thanks to that, right after returning from the dungeon, he couldn’t rest.
He was sitting at his desk, reliving his memories and studying about dungeons and field monsters.
What was written in the book was clear.
Weaknesses and attributes of high-level monsters. Which attacks are effective against enemies. What weapons can deal more damage to demons, etc.
All of them are essential information to survive as a radar.
Although it was Jaehyun who had already rolled in the dungeon for 7 years, it had been a really long time since he had studied about higher level monsters.
Before Jaehyun returned, he had almost no chance of catching a top-tier monster. Because he was a D-class combative raider, there were few guilds or parties he could join.
But now I have to study this part especially hard.
It was a necessity, not an option, in order to make even the slightest perfect choice in a situation where you did not know what kind of enemy you would face in the future.
‘We must prepare thoroughly and be able to respond to all variables.’
Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive the next fast-approaching event.
‘I’m still weak. Gu Ja-in’s check is more severe than I thought. In order to endure in this situation, of course.’
Jaehyun showed a map of the surroundings on his smartphone with a calm expression on his face.
From now on, he is an item called “God’s Arrangement”.
In other words, I was thinking of going to find the hidden peace.
