Episode 23
One
“… … … … uh?”
A gigantic monster like Mount Tai formed on Moon-ho’s retina, its red pupils.
His body trembled like an aspen tree.
“… uh, uh, uh… ? Oh, uh.”
this… … what?
Words don’t come out right.
dump-
The legs didn’t have strength as if they weren’t originally mine. I hit my knees with a thump, but I didn’t feel any pain.
The shabby man slowly raises his head and looks back at him.
I can’t believe it. He must have been just a cadet until a few seconds ago.
But, but, how?
It’s obviously a person, but the shell is a person, but a person… But, it was just a little while ago.
why… … What’s going on?
Instinct, every intuition and sense shouts.
No, that’s it not like humans
How dare I, with what spirit, attacked… ?
The man, now unable to even remember his own name, opened his mouth in denial of reality.
It’s an outburst.
“Ugh, uh, where… Not like… .”
There can be no such thing as this. Yes, that glass bottle. It’s because of the liquid in it. It’s all just an illusion.
therefore… …
therefore… …
“uh… … ?”
However, the man who used to have a chance has now forgotten even that. In the face of the flood of desire to survive, that opportunity was no more than a small pebble.
“My, why am I here… … .”
No, no, don’t think don’t think
Now is not the time to think.
That’s not what you need to do now.
have to move
“Sah, save me.”
Get down.
lower your body
bow your head
and pray
“Help me. sorry.”
May that being have mercy.
Looking down at Mun-ho, who was lying flat, Si-woo opened his mouth.
“Confess. what you did.”
He nodded with a shaking head, as if he had lost his voice, as if he had forgotten how to respond.
“Without missing a single thing. Confess the truth.”
The more each word was added, the more Moon-ho’s body trembled. His eyes were glued to the ground right before they touched the ground, so it was almost impossible for his eyes to touch the ground.
However, he didn’t care and tried to lower himself somehow. In the first place, there was no ‘dirt floor’ to be seen. Everything that looks like his head is white is white.
Then something fell next to Moon-ho.
A single reddish petal.
Plum.
Plum blossoms began to appear near him and were piling up.
It is the only thing with color in the pure white world.
Moon-ho raised his head with a trembling body. It was a pitiful movement, as if a pig was trying to look at the sky. Soon after, when he fully raised his face–
“I will watch.”
It was just a voice.
It was a cadet, then a monster that would give goosebumps by instinct, but now that existence with only a voice scattered plum blossoms profusely.
“ah… … , ah… .”
Just like that, Moon-ho passed out while looking at the plum blossoms.

After confirming that Moon-ho was falling, Si-woo lay down.
“I almost fell behind.”
Siwoo wondered if he was under a curse he didn’t even know existed. Just today, after meeting the battalion commander in the morning, I was almost killed by Kim Mun-ho because of his virginity confession.
It was just an idea that came to his mind, but he began to think seriously. Aren’t you suddenly becoming a sub-captain, or a raid wearing a mask called a patrol mission… … .
As soon as Siwoo returns to the academy, he decides to stop by the church to receive blessings. The money would be a bit broken, but if I could get out of this bad luck like a piece of sh*t, it was worth the financial bleeding.
“Oh right.”
Siwoo, who belatedly remembered Yoo Ji-min’s existence, raised his head slightly and looked for Yoo Ji-min. He sat down and stared blankly at the sky.
I tried to control the momentum of the Thunder King, but I couldn’t completely control it. Probably exposed to the aftermath.
I’m sober, so it doesn’t seem like a big shock.
Perhaps feeling his gaze, Jimin’s eyes moved and met Siwoo.
flinch-!
Jimin shivered quite loudly. Fear dwells in puppy-like eyes. She doesn’t show her emotions due to her personality, but she can’t hide her trembling eyes and looks down.
… … To say it wasn’t such a big shock is to cancel it.
“It will be fine.”
Still, I hope you’ll come to your senses soon. Because she is the incarnation of self-esteem created by lofty pride and outstanding talent.
Siwoo now lays his head down and has a fully stretched posture.
His gaze was directed towards the sky, but if you look closely, you can see that he is staying right in front of you.
[Used hemp water ＜Breath of the Lightning King (0.59%)＞.]
[???’s hand remembers the breath of the Thunder King.]
[(Skill) Obtain the Breath of the Thunder King.]
[Breath of the Thunder King]
– Spreads the momentum (1%) of the hemp water Lightning Star King.
– Cooldown 167:55:47
This is the reason why Siwoo did not show off his momentum right away even though his life was at stake.
Doppelganger’s Tears can copy any target’s ability, but its performance is insignificant compared to the original, and it is a one-time item that loses its effect when the duration expires.
However, the Lightning King’s Breath, which should have disappeared, remained as a skill. It also increases efficiency.
What does this mean? If you copy an ability with your doppelganger’s tears, you get that ability permanently.
Siu knows how ridiculous this ability is. Doppelganger’s tears can copy anything that is less than a half-god.
It’s probably limited to monsters, but it’s still fraudulent.
However, Siu was expressionless. Even though it was possible to cast ‘your skill within your skill’.
He raised his right hand and glared at him. The red rosary beads lowered slightly, revealing a large scar surrounding her wrist.
“Whose hand is this bastard?”
Equivalent exchange is a truth regardless of age and dimension. It just didn’t make sense that there was no price for this ridiculous ability.
Not to mention, even his 9-star talent, didn’t he sacrifice the right to determine 10 traits, albeit with luck?
Siwoo thought that there was something he didn’t know about, rather than being able to use this ability simply because he was good at it.
Of course, it’s too fraudulent to seal it as a shame. He lowered the log, vowing to copy his abilities neatly, neatly and sensibly on his own.
[You won without taking any damage from the enemy.]
[(Fame) Quest. You have cleared ＜Our Boss＞.]
Solved a difficult quest. The ridiculous condition of winning without taking damage. I was worried about whether I should capture and shoot a villain due to the information gap, but it was solved in a haphazard way.
To be honest, I got hit a few times, but the system doesn’t seem to count even getting hit as damage.
[The title ＜Our Boss＞ will be unlocked.]
[Would you like to equip the title ＜Our Boss＞? Yes/No]
Siu nodded.
Tring-!

[Organization name not determined.]
[Are you sure you want to name the organization?]
[If you have an organization name, it is easy to form a bond within the organization and raise morale.]
The name of the organization must be decided. Although numerical data about bonds and morale are not displayed, there is no need to worry because their importance is conveyed through history and stories.
Normally, deciding on the name of the organization would have been a headache for several days, but the moment Siwoo saw the quest, he had already decided on a name.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he opened his mouth.
“The volcanic wave.”
[Organization: Would you like to register ‘Volcanic Wave’? Once the organization name has been set, it cannot be changed.]
“Determined by the volcanic wave.”
[Organization: ‘Volcano Wave’ has been created.]
[Boss: ‘Lee Si-woo’ is registered.]

Kim Woo-jin appeared with five cadets.
The platoon leader who ran to the place where Siwoo and Jimin went did not come back for a long time, and he thought that something had happened due to the eerie momentum he felt earlier, so he organized a reconnaissance party.
Shi-woo looked at Woo-jin proudly, and Woo-jin, who had lived with Si-woo for a short time, trembled when he realized that that face was the expression right before he rolled himself.
However, unexpectedly nothing happened, so I tilted my head.
[‘Kim Woo-jin’ is registered in ＜Action Book＞.]
Of course, only Woojin didn’t know.
Woo-jin tried to help Si-woo lying on the floor, but Si-woo put off his hand and pointed to Kim Moon-ho, who was lying on the floor.
Siu, who had slightly tipped off only Woojin about what had happened, hit him on the head as he tried to scream in surprise.
“Why is this bastard named executive so light-hearted?”
“M-I’m sorry. By the way, what is the executive talking about?”
“There is such a thing.”
Siwoo pointed at Moonho Kim again, and Woojin moved towards it, scratching where he had been hit.
Seeing Woo-jin suddenly arresting the platoon leader, the cadets wondered if this bastard was crazy. However, when he saw that Siwoo and Yujin were still, he followed Woojin and began to arrest him.
Siwoo, who asked Woojin for the names of the quick-witted ones, quietly called the system.
[‘Hwang Dong-soo’ is registered in ＜Organization Member＞.]
[‘Park Yeong-cheol’ is registered in ＜Organization Member＞.]
[‘Woo Young-jin’ is registered in ＜Organization Member＞.]
[‘Kil Jong-seok’ is registered as ＜organization member＞.]
[‘Lee Yeo-ram’ is registered in ＜Organization Member＞.]
The volcanic wave grew in size like that. It seems like you are just registering, but there are no restrictions on registration and withdrawal, so if you see a bud, accept it once and if you don’t want it, throw it away.
They moved to their resting place and soon reached the place where the cadets were. Some of the cadets were frightened to see the platoon commander’s broken face, but Siwoo struck first.
I shouted in a fairly loud voice as if everyone could hear.
“Call the lieutenant commander. Platoon commander Kim Moon-ho attacked cadets Lee Si-woo and Yoo Ji-min.”
Kim Woo-jin put in a call, and after a while Cheon Kang-min fell from the sky like lightning. Chun Kang-min, who appeared with a vicious spirit, approached Si-woo.
“Is it true?”
“yes.”
Kangmin and Siwoo’s gaze collided in the air for a while. Siwoo’s back was dripping with cold sweat, but he pretended nothing was wrong.
Indeed, the disciplined spirit of an elite from Cheonilmun… … . He vowed not to give up on Kang-min at all.
At the end of that one word of question and answer, Kang-min turned around and approached Kim Moon-ho, who was imprisoned.
He came to his senses earlier, but didn’t show any movement. He just leaned against a tree with his mouth closed and his eyes down.
Chun Kang-min stood in front of him. Seeing the shadow in front of his head, Moonho Kim slowly raised his head.
“Is it true?”
“… … .”
Moon-ho’s eyes were empty. An empty pupil with no anger, sadness, or resentment. Moon-ho looked at him blankly, then lowered his gaze again. The answer was that.
Kang-min brushed his hair, gathered the students together, and set off with the other officers who had come with them.
Kang-min and Mun-ho, in a forest where only the two of them remain.
Kangmin grabbed Moonho by the neck and lifted him up.
“When all the brothers called you trash and the elders excommunicated you, I was the only one who supported you. Do you know why?”
“… … .”
“I saw sprouts. It seemed that the yellow buds were about to grow. With the help of heavenly luck, I thought maybe I could make it big.”
“… … .”
“Thus, it was to raise the status of Cheonilmun, and to make the grace due to me count as Cheonilmun’s grace, and to raise it as another sword of the school.”
“… … .”
“I thought you would understand that much. stupidly. I didn’t even know that he was such a stupid and incompetent guy.”
Kang-min put his remaining hand on Moon-ho’s stomach.
Whoop-!
Rough and sharp energy gathered in his hand and began to burrow into Moon-ho’s stomach.
“It is right for a disciple who is excommunicated for violating the laws of the Munpa to destroy Danjeon and abolish martial arts. With Elder Oh’s protection, I was able to maintain that trivial inaction, but your trivial inaction and arrogant personality have repeated the past.”
“Kuuk-!”
A huge shock applied to the Danjeon. An impatient moan erupts.
“Chun Kang-min of Cheonilmun wants to correct the wrongs of the priest who has gone wrong and remove the filth factor that will stain the future of the text.”
Kugu Palace-!
Kang-min’s ferocious energy stirs inside Moon-ho’s body. The mysterious energy mixed with gray and gold was like a hungry wolf in the snowy mountains, devouring the literary energy and shaking the veins.
however.
That was it.
He suffered a major blow to the Danjeon and suffered internal injuries to the extent that blood flowed from his mouth, but that was only enough.
A few years of recovery could bring the sword back to life.
Moon-ho looked at Kang-min with a face covered in blood.
“This is the end of the death penalty.”
“… … .”
“You didn’t even abandon your mission of leading and protecting the cadets, but rather attacked. A disciplinary committee on this will be held upon return.”
“… … .”
“You will have to follow me diligently. To keep pace with the cadets who have already started.”
After those words, Kangmin turned around without regret.
It was then.
“Brother, watch out for that guy.”
A cracking voice was heard.
“… They said the ties to the death penalty had been severed.”
“I noticed long ago that my brother was paying attention to the child. That’s what I’m saying.”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Brother, you must listen to me straight. It’s the first and last reward the poor priest has for his brother’s kindness.”
“… … what are you talking about.”
“… That guy is a monster. That’s human, not human. They’re human on the outside, but they’re monsters on the inside. It’s like a monster. That’s really… … I see it for the first time.”
Moon-ho and Kang-min, whose voices trembled as if they were afraid just by recalling them, slightly turned their heads back.
“Tell me in detail.”
“If you accept that guy as Cheonilmun, Cheonilmun ends that day. He’s a f*cking devil. It is a curse, an apocalypse, and a demon.”
“… … .”
“Brother, please. Please watch out for Siu Lee.”
that was the last Kim Moon-ho closed his mouth and passed Kang-min. Kang-min looked at Moon-ho staggering away, then took a step with a stiff face.
Meanwhile, Siwoo at that time.
“Oh, who is swearing at me?”
I was picking up my ears.
