chapter 24
Episode 24
Han Seo-ah and Han Kang-yoon have been together for a long time.
Even though they are not real siblings, they can be confident that they will be more than that as long as they care for each other.
So, when I found out how Han Kang-yoon was doing at the academy, it was very heartbreaking and complicated.
‘… … .’
At the same time, he made a firm resolve that he had to somehow relieve the burden on his own.
In any case, he is an A-class. Because he was an expectant who was recognized for his talent.
Therefore, he actively appealed to himself to find supporters, and he quickly acclimatized to the academy by honing his skills throughout the day.
Even in Class A, where only people called geniuses gathered, they showed excellent results, so it was easy to guess what kind of effort it must have been.
‘Now I have to support you.’
Han Kang-yoon was always a guide who led everyone in the orphanage, but now he is in the opposite position.
Therefore, in this second exam, Han Seo-ah deliberately sent Han Kang-yoon to the rearguard, and took the vanguard on her own.
However.
[Wow!]
Aww!
The situation suddenly changed, and the moment she faced the intense murderous intent of the enemy for the first time in her life, Seo-ah Han completely hardened her body.
‘… I have to go.’
It was clear what the danger would be if the limit of impossibility to attack, a monster that was judged to be the highest score of 100, was lifted.
Han Seo-ah took a step forward, overcoming the fear that was creeping in.
But there was someone standing in the way. It was Han Kang-yoon.
“it’s okay. back off.”
Whoops.
A hand gently stroking his shoulder was the same as always.
And in the battle that followed, Han Seo-ah realized that she had misunderstood something.
‘… … .’
In fact, there have been many rumors lately. Han Kang-yoon’s growth, which had stopped for a long time, has finally begun.
However, at the beginning of the semester, various rumors and ridicule about Han Kang-yoon were engraved with painful thorns, and Seo-ah Han could not easily accept it.
However, looking at the scene unfolding right before my eyes, anyone will have no choice but to admit it.
‘… There was no such thing as the need to protect me from the beginning.’
That Han Kang-yoon is no longer the person of the past who was ignored.
“… How can a man fight like that?”
Even John, who was next to me, was bursting with exclamations without realizing it. That is why Han Kang-yun’s battle was great.
Wow!
[Kuwaak!]
Quang!
If we simply look at the specifications, it is by no means a fight in favor of Han Kang-yoon.
However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the method of using the shikigami, the main weapon, and every movement of estimating the opponent and his or her next move were truly artistic.
For example, the skill of a veteran veteran who has already experienced countless battles and crossed the line of battle.
“The chestnut.”
wow!
[Keek-!]
It’s not about using incredibly powerful magic, or using force to hit the opponent.
Just like a master at the peak of martial arts shows a divine prestige that cannot be reached with a single branch.
Han Kang-yun’s battle was quite different from other students in the way and level itself.
‘… … .’
Han Seo-ah swallowed her saliva without realizing it. The game was finally decided, and the enemy who had a vicious momentum was completely overthrown.
kuung.
“It’s an emergency. From now on, I think it’s practical.”
Seeing her carefree appearance even after defeating a strong enemy, Han Seo-ah muttered a short remark in her heart.
No matter what happens, Han Kang-yoon is still the kind of strong father he knew.
***
The monsters are coming out of their custody. This is a signal that Bihyung has started to act.
Unsurprisingly, the sight of the examiners hurriedly shooting in all directions has been transmitted from the black swan’s sight.
Similarly, one of the examiners who was nearby came to us and said:
“… Whoa. urgent situation. All students should gather in the central hall and follow the directions.”
“All right.”
I quickly left the seat, leading Han Seo-ah and John. This is where the important phase comes in.
As I said, except for Bi-hyung and the monsters he brought, there are a total of four people who need to be taken care of.
The best of 2nd grade class D.
Shin Hyun-min, a first-year class A.
Professor and supervisor James.
And finally, even someone who might become a sacrifice on my behalf.
‘But in the end, the other one was not found.’
I couldn’t help it because I didn’t see anyone showing any signs of it.
In this case, the possibility is one of two things.
‘I didn’t make any sacrifices to replace me, or I didn’t receive the power from my brother like other students.’
There were no other cases that came to mind.
Being sacrificed inevitably meant that I got something I desperately wanted from Bi-hyung, and if it was power, it was bound to show off in some way.
But there was no problem.
‘Whoever it is, if it actually exists, it will be known when the resurrection ceremony is held.’
So it was a story that could only be delayed the most.
‘The mechanism of the resurrection magic that Bihyung is planning is simple yet complex.’
First of all, the aforementioned sacrifices are selected, and the magic that becomes the core of consciousness is engraved in the body, pretending to give them strength by enticing them with cowardice.
And using them as nuclei, a huge range of resurrection techniques is developed. That area is the entire Yeongwol-do.
‘Everything that loses life within the scope of magic becomes the material of resurrection.’
Now, as the target of the second test, youkai have been released all over Yeongwol-do.
And the Ranked Yo-kai that Rain-hyung collected himself.
Or even the supervisors and students who might lose their lives in the chaos.
After sucking in enough nutrients, the resurrection ceremony is completed by completely taking the lives of those who have become nuclear.
Of course, the most important thing here is the four personnel functioning as the nucleus.
‘Actually, it is easiest to kill them before the proper ritual begins.’
But if I go ahead and do it all the time, I will only be treated like a mind polluter and taken away.
Because of this, I had already completed the magic that would prevent it without taking my life.
‘I invested all of my time in the articulation change class.’
Anyway, I know roughly what kind of structure Bihyung used. After that, all I had to do was use my extensive knowledge to study the magic that could interfere with it.
‘The problem is that if you take action too quickly, Bi-hyung can notice the abnormality.’
That’s why I didn’t do anything until I came to Yeongwoldo on purpose.
However, it also meant that, after arriving at Yeongwol-do, even if he started sabotaging work, Bi-hyung would not be noticed.
That’s why I’ve already taken action against one of the sacrifices from the day before.
‘Choi Il-mok’s case was easy. Because we are from the same camp, we went together several times in the first test.’
Because the magic engraved on the body was scattered here and there, even if the ritual began, the primal would no longer be able to function as a perfect sacrifice.
Then there are two people left.
Hyun-min Shin, a first-year class A, and James, a professor.
‘Anyway, James and Bi-hyung will tie up the professors’ feet and fight to death.’
It was difficult to block, and in fact, it was better not to block it.
Therefore, it was Shin Hyun-min’s side who had to take action first.
‘found.’
As soon as I sensed the start of the incident, I sent a black swan to look for Shin Hyun-min, and soon found him chasing Yoo Ha-on, Chung Ha-ram, and Baek Eun-seo.
At the same time, the other side was also on its way to the central hall.
If it goes like this, I thought I would be able to join soon.
“Let’s hurry.”
“Somehow, I feel creepy.”
As John said, an ominous energy began to flow in all directions.
The resurrection ceremony had begun in earnest.
Also, a huge roar resounded from the side of the main hall we were heading towards.
Kuwaan-!
“… Brother, that.”
“It’s an attacker. I think the shelter has been leaked.”
Bihyung also started moving his body directly. For a while, most supervisors will probably be caught off guard by Bihyung and James, unable to move.
Even those who are not in the hall must be busy dealing with the ranked monsters that Bi-hyung brought.
In other words, there is no one here who can take responsibility and protect students.
The impact was evident quickly.
Aww!
“It’s in the front!”
“… I’m in battle. Even among students.”
Shin Hyun-min, who is enveloped in an ominous energy, attacks Yoo Ha-on’s party and goes mad.
“okay! You always ignored me like that!”
“What is this all of a sudden, the bullshit… … !”
Although he had only inherited a part of his power, his majesty was certainly not at the level of a student.
When Haram Cheong and Eun-seo Baek were pushed away, who were struggling, Hyun-min Shin caught Yoo Ha-on with a bizarre bondage with a mean smile.
“done. I don’t know anymore. flaw. you will take me specially He will make… … .”
“The salt lake.”
I didn’t have time to listen to useless words, so I hurriedly ran out, took out the amulet I had prepared, and began to build the magic.
In previous fights, she was merely controlling bugs, but Yeomho’s true ability is not like that.
[──!]
That is, the essence of the shikigami called the salt lake is to emit a strong will to the sound of crying. To put it simply, it could be seen that it was a type similar to the commonly spoken words and spirits.
“ね!”
Shin Hyun-min’s body stiffened for an instant, who had received Yeom-ho’s will.
And that moment was enough. As I approached quickly, I developed the magic that I had prepared and inserted it into Shin Hyun-min.
👌👌👌👌👌
“Anti-supernaturalization.”
Whoops!
“Huh, huh?”
The ominous energy emanating from Shin Hyun-min’s body gradually faded away, and at the same time, the magic of the secret figure engraved in the depths of his body was tangled up and disturbed.
second with this. Only the last one remains.
“… Dude, what are you doing to me?”
“Don’t die and go to jail quietly.”
Far from a new world, a future in which even the last drop of vitality would be prudently awaited in the next 30 minutes or so. I looked at Shin Hyun-min with pitiful eyes.
“… thanks.”
Yoo Ha-on, who had escaped from Shin Hyun-min’s hand, trembled slightly and thanked me.
As he was a guy who worked with a sense of inferiority to Yoo Ha-on in the original work, he was probably shocked because he experienced the malice in front of his eyes.
As I calmed Yoo Ha-on up, Eun-seo Baek and Haram Cheong approached from behind.
“Hey, what are you going to do with Haon?”
Baek Eun-seo seemed very angry about what had happened before I came.
I ignored her and talked to Chung Haram.
“Fortunately, it seems that your request has been granted.”
“Did you ever know this would happen?”
“No, it can’t be.”
Looking at me as if I was saying something strange, Haram Cheong turned around with a look of indifference.
“… What are you going to do anyway? It seems that the hall that used to be an evacuation site is completely in turmoil.”
Even now, a large-scale battle is taking place on the side of the hall. Of course, approaching it is absurd.
It was Yoo Ha-on who answered Chung Haram’s question.
“… How about gathering the students first?”
It was definitely a sensible way. Because it was self-evident that it was safer to be united than to be scattered.
“Then we will have to go back to the other side of the hall.”
“How do you get the kids on the other side?”
Baek Eun-seo, who ended up beating Shin Hyun-min and arrested after the fan, asked.
I quickly answered him.
“I will go.”
Anyway, I’ve already looked at the direction Yoo Ha-on and his party are going. The one with the last remaining offering must be on the other side.
“Alone? That alone would be dangerous.”
“There are black swans, so even if there are enemies, you can avoid them.”
It made sense, so the other students nodded their heads and prepared to move.
But Han Seo-ah came up to me as if displeased and said,
“I will go too.”
“… It’s safer over there.”
“Then why don’t you stick with your brother over there?”
Han Seo-ah showed no sign of backing down at all, and I reluctantly allowed her to accompany me.
***
[Quick!]
[Queek!]
A total of three black swans flew quickly and looked at the students scattered across the island, but they could not find the student who had been sacrificed yet.
‘Isn’t it really?’
It doesn’t make sense to say that as long as the consciousness has gone this far, there is no reaction at all. Almost all of the island has been explored, and there are only a few students who haven’t checked it out.
‘But if that’s the case, then the ritual must end when James, who is left alone, dies.’
As you can see, the battle is still in full swing in the hall. It is unknown whether James is alive or dead.
At that time, Seo-ah Han, who was chasing after her, opened her mouth with difficulty as if she was running out of breath.
“Oh, brother. A little slow.”
“sorry.”
He must have been thinking and running too fast.
“… … .”
However, even with such thoughts for a moment, I felt that something was not logically connected.
‘… My health rank is much lower, is that possible?’
Since Han Seo-ah and I are on the same level, of course, it is normal to have a higher physical ability over there.
Feeling something uncomfortable, I stared at Han Seo-ah. Cold sweat was running down his neck, and his face was pale.
I felt an ominous feeling creeping over me.
“Wait a minute.”
“… Whoa. why?”
I stopped in place and hurriedly approached Han Seo-ah and lifted the bottom of the shirt.
“Oh, brother. for a moment?”
Han Seo-ah dyed her face red and restrained her, but that didn’t matter.
dreaming.
‘… … .’
On Han Seo-ah’s skin, ominous colored scars were pulsating. It was certain. It was a non-formal spell.
“… … uh?”
At the unexpected sight, Han Seo-ah shut her mouth with a puzzled look. It was the eyes that couldn’t understand why he had these traces.
At that moment, a thought ran through my mind as I was thinking about it as well.
“… Where did you get sponsors?”
“uh? It’s probably class A. That’s how it happened.”
“What did you ask for in return for sponsorship?”
“I’m just asking for a little help because there is a type of magic that I’m researching… … .”
Han Seo-ah, who was calmly recalling her memories, began to darken to see if there was something she was pointing out.
“Joe, there was a time when I helped out with a bit of a magic test. Obviously nothing at that time… … .”
It was a complete mistake. I never expected it to be approached that way.
In the first place, it was only revealed as a behind-the-scenes story in the original story.
‘… The structure is different from those caught by others.’
To make matters worse, the magic engraved on Han Seo-ah’s body was special. It was quite different from what I had checked and prepared for.
However, since it was a similar type of magic, it was possible to understand its contents to some extent.
‘Unbelievable.’
I felt my expression harden. It was as if I had seen something I shouldn’t have seen.
‘The proportion of consciousness is much greater than that of others.’
What that meant was simple.
The center of the resurrection ceremony was Han Seo-ah.
And, if my predictions aren’t wrong.
‘With just one Seo-ah Han, the ceremony succeeds.’
Although it may not be in its perfect form, any form of unbearable monster will be released on this island.
In addition, Han Seo-ah, who has fulfilled her function as a sacrifice, will lose her life as it is.
“… brother?”
I looked at Han Seo-ah with complicated eyes.
It will only take ten minutes for the next ceremony to be completed. It was impossible for me to come up with a recipe to deal with in the meantime.
Han Seo-ah cannot be saved.
And if the ceremony succeeds, many main and supporting actors, including myself, are in crisis.
‘However… … .’
Does that mean he kills Seo-ah Han before the ceremony is complete?
It cannot be possible.
At least for me it was impossible. It was unacceptable.
I grabbed my head in a dilemma with nowhere to go.
I was just hoping to get out of the situation of being a victim, but it was ridiculous that it was like this.
“… brother.”
To make matters worse, the suffering did not stop there.
Whoops.
percussion.
widely.
I could feel the popularity of the two of them from behind. It’s not the student’s. I turned my head, trying to ignore the ominous feeling.
“… I found it. That must be the sacrifice he was talking about.”
“Hey, I’m going crazy. At least.”
Choi Do-won bleeding from his forehead and Baek Ji-eun with bruises all over his body. It was self-evident that he must have already been fighting a battle.
’emotion.’

In short, strong.
They couldn’t get past level 50, the standard of a true strongman, but they were both close to that because they were professors at the academy.
And why did these two come here?
There was only one reason.
click.
profit.
Baek Ji-eun pulled a cigarette out of her pocket and opened her mouth, looking at me. His voice was blunt, but there was a deep sense of guilt and anger inside.
“Shut up. Han Kang-yoon.”
“… … .”
After that, it was Choi Do-won who delivered the sentence with certainty.
“There is no other way than becoming the subject of consciousness.”
In other words, what the two of them were trying to say was too simple.
“… Han Seo-ah must die here.”
At those words, Han Seo-ah’s face went blank.
