50 – Joint Practice (4)

“Not a single team has passed.”

“… … madman.”

Yoon Do-sik, who was listening to Baek Woo-jin’s self-talk, looked sideways at him as if he were looking at a monster.

Right after entering the rift.

Yoon Do-sik was momentarily taken aback by the invisible exit, but soon regained his composure and turned to move toward the straight road.

At that moment, the wall that had been blocked went down like a mirage, and an unknown paladin appeared and took me to this place where the crystal was.

In fact, it’s embarrassing to say that they took me there, but the wall collapsed and the new road that appeared was a straight line.

The structure was so simple that even a kindergartener could draw it, but it was roughly structured like this.

┃ ↑ ┃

ㅁ╋ ◾ ╋

●┃ ┃ ┃

ㅁ╋ ◾ ╋

Simple, yet too simple.

So I was more embarrassed and ashamed.

“It would be better to have a professor who is slightly crazy than a professor who has no skills.”

“… … .”

Yoon Do-shik shut his mouth.

Because, even if you think about it, what he said was right.

It would be a natural choice for a student who needs learning to stick with a professor who can surely get something even if he is a little crazy, rather than wasting time with a professor who has no skills.

Although not only students, but also people who want to learn something, everyone will think the same.

However, if there is a little problem… .

-Are you stung by a bee?

-It’s my face.

-… Please shut up, because it sounds like you’re going to be knocked over.

Even if you go crazy, you are very firmly crazy.

Who would have imagined that a hired paladin would attack the students.

Even using the moss turtle, which is more dangerous than a mid-level monster, even though it is picked purely with the power of poison.

Click.

Baek Woo-jin grabbed the pen, covered the notebook, and put it into his bosom.

Not long after, the last 10th team followed the paladin into the pupil.

-Wow… Was it struck by lightning somewhere?

– I’m going to have to shave my head with that.

It is standard for her hair to be perfectly curly, and her eyes were covered in black paint, as if everyone wanted to become a panda.

only one person.

Except for one hundred.

“Everyone has gathered.”

When Baek Hana team arrived last and sat down, Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth to the students.

“Then I’ll start with the questions. Raise your hand if you have something to say.”

Most of the students looked up at Baek Woo-jin with blank eyes at Baek Woo-jin’s behavior of accepting questions without any explanation.

And a handful of students raised their hands while looking at Baek Woo-jin with a slightly dissatisfied gaze.

Baek Woo-jin called the name of the closest female student.

“Jang Nara.”

“… … Yes.”

Jang Nara, a female student with blue bruises on her eyes, lowered her raised hand and asked.

“I would like to ask if the process in which we were being chased by the moss turtle was really necessary.”

“If you’re asking that it’s absolutely necessary, I’ll say no.”

“then-“

“On the contrary, I ask.”

Baek Woo-jin cut off Jang Na-ra’s words, glanced at the faces of the students who were looking up at him, then turned his gaze to Jang Na-ra again and continued.

“Why did you attend my lecture?”

“… I took the class to learn more about the cracks I will enter.”

“Right.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded once.

“I thought it was an enhancement system, but it was a superpower system.”

“… … Yes?”

“do not worry. I’ll contact the administration department and tell them to fix it.”

“No, I… I am a reinforcement system. professor.”

“The reinforcement system is correct.”

“Yes… I am an enhanced Awakener.”

In response to Jang Nara’s answer, Baek Woo-jin stroked her chin and asked her.

“Then it’s even weirder.”

“… I don’t know what’s strange about it.”

“Didn’t you just say it with your mouth? He took my class to learn more about rifts.”

“… … It is.”

“As far as I remember, Jang Nara. I understand that you fell asleep 3 minutes and 29 seconds after the lecture on Tuesday and did not wake up until the moment I left the classroom.”

“… … .”

Jang Nara’s face instantly heated up.

Baek Woo-jin asked Jang Na-ra.

“Tell me if I am not familiar with it. Mistakes must be corrected.”

“… … .”

Baek Woo-jin turned his gaze away from Jang Na-ra, whose face had turned red, and started looking around at the other students again.

The students who had raised their heads at first lowered their heads to avoid Baek Woo-jin’s gaze.

Baek Woo-jin opened his mouth again.

This time, it’s not for Jang Nara, but for all the students here.

“I asked if being chased by a moss turtle was really necessary. don’t answer again It wasn’t necessary. Like you took my lectures you thought you didn’t even need.”

Baek Woo-jin’s gaze stopped at Baek Ha-na for a moment, then turned to Jang Na-ra, who bowed her head again.

“There are far more undisclosed cracks than revealed ones. That’s why it’s a place where it’s not strange no matter what happens inside. It may not match the reported terrain, and you may encounter a monster that you have never seen before.”

“Today is the seat I prepared, so you can complain and grumble at me, but what will you do then, in another training session, or if you actually experience something like today?”

“I might be complaining like today, but well. You can only do that while you’re alive, so maybe you can’t even do that.”

Baek Woo-jin watched the backs of the heads of students who could not raise their heads for a while and called the female student who was the first to bow her head.

“Jang Nara.”

“… … Yes.”

Where did the confidence of the beginning go?

“Raise your head and try to find where the exit is hidden.”

“… … .”

Unable to deal with the heat on her face, Jang Nara raised her head and began to look around slowly.

And just like when he first entered the rift, he pointed to a wall that was not overgrown with moss.

“There… is.”

“That is correct.”

widely.

Baek Woo-jin flicked his fingers lightly, and the wall Jang Na-ra pointed at disappeared like a mirage.

In the back space where the wall disappeared, an exit shimmering in blue light appeared.

“Yoon Do-shik.”

“Something.”

“Lead me out. And go straight back to the academy.”

“That one?”

“I don’t know.”

“… cheaply.”

Yoon Do-shik frowned and moved.

Then, he passed Baek Woo-jin and talked a little.

“Make some time for yourself later.”

How was it possible to manipulate the environment of the rift by handling the crystal?

There were a lot of things I wanted to ask.

Baek Woo-jin did not answer, and Yoon Do-sik also moved toward the students without paying attention.

At that time, one of the students carefully raised his hand.

“what.”

“… That, how to prove… … ?”

In response to the male student’s question, Baek Woo-jin reached out to the crystal floating behind him.

Quad Deuk-!!

“Wow?!”

“What, what!!”

The floor around the students popped up.

-Guang.

Several small moss turtles appeared.

They looked at the students for a moment, then moved slowly on short legs and approached Baek Woo-jin.

“Is it okay?”

“… … Ah yes, yes… .”

Even if the male student couldn’t see it, he nodded stupidly like someone who saw it.

Yoon Do-sik, who watched it for a while, coughed softly and said.

“Go out in the order you arrived and wait!!”

The students who were sitting in their seats raised their heavy hips, and under the supervision of Yoon Do-shik and the paladins, they slowly made their way to the exit.

“One hundred and one.”

Hana Baek, who was about to leave the exit in the last turn, stopped walking.

Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Ha-na’s back and said to Yoon Do-sik, who was still sitting.

“I’ll send it out with the Paladins, so get out first.”

“Okay.”

When Yoon Do-shik disappeared through the exit, Baek Ha-na quickly turned around and jumped toward Baek Woo-jin.

Pak-!!

“Wow?!”

Covering the top of his head, Hana Baek collapsed on the floor.

Looking down at Baek Ha-na, Baek Woo-jin said.

“It means to understand the content properly, not just write it down.”

“Ugh… … .”

Baek Ha-na looked up at Baek Woo-jin with tears in her eyes as if it was really painful.

“Don’t be shy, wake up.”

“… … Chit.”

Baek Ha-na clicked her tongue briefly and pouted her lips before standing up.

“Sigh.”

“… sorry.”

When Baek Woo-jin let out a short sigh, Baek Ha-na wiggled her fingers and apologized.

“It’s out of shape.”

“This, this happened because of Seohee… … .”

At Baek Woo-jin’s words, Baek Ha-na realized again that her appearance was unusual.

Baek Woo-jin, who had been watching the flustered Baek Ha-na for a while, pressing down on her protruding hair, gently put her hand on Baek Ha-na’s cheek.

“Uh, uh… ?”

“Be still.”

“Uh, yes, yes… .”

Every time Baek Woo-jin’s hand moved little by little, Baek Ha-na’s white nape and earlobes began to turn bright red.

Swoop.

“Ah, uh, uh… .”

A large hand that passed slowly down the cheek.

It soon stroked his thigh and reached the top of his foot.

“Me, that, woo, woojin… ?”

“… … .”

Baek Woo-jin did not respond to Baek Ha-na’s call, but quietly knelt down on one knee and held Baek Ha-na’s foot up.

Then, the shoes damaged by the moss turtle’s poison returned to their original form like a lie.

Not only the shoes, but all the parts Baek Woo-jin’s hands touched were back to their original state.

Baek Woo-jin, who finished his work, got up again.

Damn-!!

“What?!”

He hit one hundred chestnuts on the forehead.

“Next time, put your magic on your shoes, not your gloves.”

“… … yes.”

Baek Ha-na nodded with a blushing face, then took a step closer to Baek Woo-jin and asked.

“Aren’t you going to touch my hair?”

Baek Woo-jin’s hand moved once again at Baek Ha-na’s act of bringing her body closer with her blue eyes cutely raised.

“Wow?!”

In an instant, Baek Ha-na’s two legs, which were grabbed by the back, fell off the ground, and flew through the air and disappeared into the shimmering exit.

“As much as it is, then we are enough.”

The two paladins in tattered school uniforms quickly turned around and ran toward the exit.

**

As everyone left, the pupil, who had been in a commotion, regained calm again.

I put my hand on the crystal again.

Koo Goo Goo -!!

Moss and small and large crumbs fall from the ceiling with a sound as if the entire pupil is collapsing.

And soon after, a new shadow appeared that was not mine.

pug.

“Gagging?!”

The owner of the shadow fell to the floor, wriggling and gasping for pain.

black hair.

sober appearance.

An ordinary young man with nothing special.

After changing the rift, I set a small trap before going out with Claire.

If someone other than me enters, I will be summoned to an independent space that is not connected to the exit.

I wonder if I knew the identity of the culprit.

Since there was no information, it was one of the obvious steps to take because we didn’t know when it would seep into the rift.

“Turn it off… .”

The young man who was deprived of his freedom by my magical power that permeated his body moaned in pain.

-Guang.

I sat with my butt on the carapace of the moss tortoise that approached me and moved my mana.

The magic around the young man reacted to my will, and then brought the small bag tied around the young man’s waist into my hand.

Click.

Unusually for a bag, I unlocked the lock and inspected the contents inside.

It contained several orbs slightly larger than a wristwatch.

Unlike the metal-like exterior, it is very light in weight.

And a very small amount of mana felt inside and a foreign aura that was a little different from the divine.

‘Demon Bullet’

Unbeknownst to me, the corner of my mouth went up slightly.

Knowing the part that I didn’t know made me more fun than I thought.

A bomb made using the corrupted magical power of the Disaster Gods worshiped by the Awakeners who operate in the shadows.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but I was told that this was a magic bullet with a different aura from the divinity felt inside.

I put the magic bullet back into the bag and locked it.

“Turn it off!!”

When he came to his senses, a nameless young man was glaring at us with bloodshot eyes.

I patted the back of another moss turtle next to me.

-Guang.

It moved slowly and stopped in front of the young man’s head.

I manipulated his mana and fixed his gaze so that he could look up and prevented him from closing his eyes.

Since the preparations for the interrogation were over, I got up from my seat and stood next to the moss turtle with its head bowed by his bedside.

A nameless guy looking up at me with wide eyes.

Receiving that gaze, I patted the Moss Turtle lightly on the back.

– Wow.

Purple liquid flowed from its snout.

“Turn it off?!”

It landed in the eye of the one who was staring at me, making an unpleasant sound and smell.

If he was in a state where he could use magic, he would have been able to protect it enough, but the efficiency of the interrogation would be reduced because of that.

I learned that it was one of the forces of the Calamity God, but it didn’t satisfy all my interests.

“Turn off, turn off… !!”

I sprinkled the holy water I had received from the paladin on the face of the one moaning in pain.

Chii-iik-!!

“Turn it off?!”

It groaned with another puff of smoke, and before long its eyes returned to their original form.

There was a faint fear that had not been seen until a moment ago in the eyes of a liquid that could not be known whether it was tears or holy water.

It’s just starting to shake at this level.

‘It’s also the end.’

I expected it to a certain extent, but it seems that I can’t help but regret it.

“Ugh, ugh… !!”

A rebellion that has become weaker than before.

I stared straight into his eyes and laid my hand on the moss turtle’s back.

‘They probably know the purpose.’
