80 – Nayeon Park – 1

“It is also a big shock… .”

“It is a shocking story even for me as a third person, so the shock of Brother Taejin Han, who is in charge, must be indescribable.”

“Tsk… . Should I take you to the hospital?”

Mmm.

Lying there pretending to faint and listening to everything, I felt like I was committing a crime for some reason, and as if waking up at the right time, I frowned and let out a drool.

“Um… .”

“oh! I think Taejin is about to wake up!”

Lesha’s face as soon as she opens her eyes.

She, with a subtle expression between thrill and sadness, soon hugs me.

“I’m so glad I woke up… !”

It’s the first time I’ve been hugged by Lesha.

Water! The heavy and soft body feels heavy on the chest. Is it this feeling of a mother’s arms that I’ve never felt before?

I feel as if my mind and body are relaxed at the warm touch.

To the extent that I feel sorry for cheating with acting.

Lesha, who broke the hug, grabbed my face and looked straight into my eyes. Like a doctor diagnosing a condition.

“it’s okay?! Do you hear me right?!”

“Oh, okay, it’s okay. He seems to have lost his mind for a moment. How fainted were you?”

It must have taken about 10 minutes, but he asked so skillfully.

Sua checked her watch and replied.

“Ten minutes have passed. brother.”

“ah… Did you wake up soon?”

I just scratched my head and got up from my seat.

That’s enough.

Now is the time to think about what to do next.

As soon as I wake up, the atmosphere becomes solemn again.

We sat down on the sofa in the living room again under the silence.

Lesha, Sua, and Kim Hye-seo, who didn’t open their mouths first, only looked at me.

I opened my mouth to him first.

“Therefore, there is something in the Taebaek Mountains that contains the power of my father, and it is an area where various giant monsters often appear. Is that it?”

I never asked about Han Chang-ho.

It’s like avoiding it on purpose.

Then naturally, I won’t stick to nonsense by recognizing it as ‘desperate denial to avoid sadness’.

As if Kim Hye-seo had waited, she opened the map again and answered.

“yes. It is classified as a dangerous area, so even established hunters and mercenaries do not easily receive subjugation missions.”

That’s why it must have been a place where it was easy to experiment and hide from the eyes of the Illusion officials.

‘Somehow I thought that the villain, a high-ranking executive in Illusion, was so weak, but I wonder if such a setting was hidden.’

And thanks to Han Chang-ho’s existence, the pieces of the puzzle were coming together to some extent.

If we sum up the information that Sua gave me in her spare time and organize it, Han Taejin in the original work must have grown into a main villain.

Hearing about his father’s death from Kim Hye-seo today, he developed hatred for Choi Do-han, who caused that death, and that hatred must have served as good food for the blackening of the villain.

There was no detailed description of why he suddenly threatened the main heroines who were stalking in the original work, but it seems that there was an inside story like this.

It was not an outburst of wrong desire, but an attempt to take revenge on Choi Do-han by using the main heroines close to him.

However, the weakling couldn’t stand Choi Do-han, and after being expelled from the academy, he must have dabbled in black magic.

And just as Choi Do-han corrupted himself by touching black magic, he would have turned black.

there would be no way

As Kim Hye-seo said, the fact that Han Chang-ho said, ‘The story would have been different if he had been a foolish guy before,’ was because he would not have left pure power in the original Han Tae-jin.

That’s why the original Han Tae-jin used the method of intimidating the main heroine as a trick.

Even if Han Chang-ho had left his strength anyway, he would have died or blackened because he would have no way to absorb the power of a platinum-level holder.

Anyway, the challenge facing me now is to find that power. Unlike the original work, the power left to me might bring salvation to the earth in the 52nd episode.

‘Of course I’ll have to absorb it well.’

And as Han Chang-ho said, he only bought time for a while. If the Illusion executives were suspicious of him, it was clear that they would also be suspicious of his pointless death.

In other words, it can be seen as an established fact that Illusion’s magic power is reaching out to me.

So, even with the high risk, I had to head for the Taebaek Mountains.

Perhaps having read that promise, Kim Hye-seo draws a long line from the southern wall of Seoul to the circle marked in the Taebaek Mountains with a ballpoint pen she took out before she knew it.

“Because we have to avoid the eyes of the illusionist, we have to move quietly. Moving east, through Wonju-si, Gyeonggi-do, entered Taebaek-si. And if you go down about 23 km to the south, the location of the coordinates will come out.”

“Wait.”

While listening to Kim Hye-seo’s briefing, I gently raised my hand.

“yes?”

“So you mean you want to go with me?”

At my question, Kim Hye-seo nodded without a word of concern.

It seemed that he had already come here to be with me.

Is it a courtesy to a senior you respect?

Are you willing to take a risk for me?

It would be quite reassuring if a diamond-level holder helped, so of course there was no reason to refuse.

“yes. Unfortunately, however, as of today, it is difficult to apply for the Monster Management Bureau as he has been placed on probation for two months. No, you can’t move loudly anyway, and you won’t be able to get support because it’s too risky to attract anyone.”

“That means we have to reach the Taebaek Mountains with a small number of people without any support.”

“yes. That would be the most certain. It’s risky, but less risky than getting the attention of the illusion executives.”

It makes sense.

It would be a hundred times safer to move while catching monsters.

Also, if you use the Mana Glader, you have no choice but to leave a mark.

Mana Glader, a means of transportation outside the barrier, is strictly managed by the government, and transportation other than Mana Glader is prohibited.

It was in the name of safety and human management, but anyway, if you borrowed a Mana Glader and moved, GPS tracking was also possible, so there was a high probability that it would be poison to avoid the eyes of illusions.

That pure walking or other means of biomobility should be taken.

It’s probably going to be a pretty rough road.

Like the path of Frodo and Sam, who escaped the eyes of Sauron and became the mainland.

And in terms of circumstances and story, there was no reason for Kim Hye-seo to lie.

If she’s an illusionist, she won’t choose the difficult path.

And half of the power of the highest rank holder is left, and I am the only awakening person who can absorb it.

She looked at Lesha with rather sad eyes.

Naturally, Lesha nodded, copying that spleen.

It was clear that Lesha, a multi-talented beauty with excellent cooking skills and strong skills, would be of great help on the long journey.

“I will join you too.”

It is self-evident that Soo-ah, a healer and a 52nd regressor who hid her power, will also be of great help.

Of course, Kim Hye-seo expressed concern about taking her apprentice along, but she did not dispute my confident belief any longer.

“Then, when are we leaving?”

Kim Hye-seo asked, folding the map tightly and placing it in her arms.

As there is a saying, “take out the horns while they are still sweet,” there was no need to delay the departure date.

However, there was someone I had to say goodbye to before I left.

That’s our master.

In addition to being a great help in many ways, if the first exclusive disciple goes on a long journey without a word, he is the person who will sharpen his sword and chase after him.

I’ll probably die at her hands before the Illusion executive.

That’s why I had to give Park Na-yeon a word and go on the journey.

Above all, how could he leave without saying goodbye to the woman who offered to become his disciple?

“How about gathering at the southern wall in two days? Before departure, I think I should do some cleaning up to avoid messing around.”

Fortunately, everyone agreed to my proposal.

“I see. I need to get ready too.”

“I agree. I have to apply for a long-term stay at the dormitory… .”

“Then, we’ll meet at the southern wall at noon in two days.”

“OK. then.”

That’s how we ended our short meeting, and we decided to have time for maintenance for each of us for two days.

I headed to Park Na-yeon’s mansion with Lesha.

##

“suddenly? In the Taebaek Mountains?”

“I’m going to go and come back for training. I was on vacation for a month, but it was also because I was confined to the capital. Well, I’m going to cool my head a bit. I will come back and receive the special training.”

As I kissed Lesha, I just talked to Park Na-yeon as a ‘training trip’.

The legacy and secrets left by Han Chang-ho were not revealed.

As Kim Hye-seo warned, it’s a secret that can lead to a crisis just knowing it.

However, of course, ‘yes. Go and come.’

“… You want me to believe that?”

To the sharp question, I just shrugged.

It was not even in the Middle Ages, and how could you believe a disciple who suddenly decided to go on a training trip?

It was just an excuse I spit out hoping that you would believe me.

If you were supposed to receive special training for a month and then suddenly leave for a long period of time, it would be the same no matter what excuse you made.

So I just spit it out.

Just with the hope that he would notice the circumstances of his inability to speak and condone it.

Park Na-yeon, who was sitting with her legs crossed, jumped up from the sofa.

“I see what you’re up to. Yes, it won’t be too late to receive the special training.”

Also.

Between the sticky teachers and students, anything works.

The chemistry that seems to have been known for a long time seems to be showing off today as well.

Park Na-yeon bounces the finger snap.

The housekeeper came running and bowed her head.

“Did you call? Hunter.”

“Talk to Manager Kim Ki-seok and tell him to prepare for a long-term trip. as lightly as possible. Because I will go alone.”

Yes?
