chapter 40
40. crash, unbelievable situation
“try. If you can.”
As Yoo Hee-yeon ferociously raised mana, Lee Hyun-seung, not to be outdone by this, began to increase mana in his gun in an instant.
“You…you really don’t think back. No matter how much the blacksmith association says they’re attached to you, you’re not just trusting that, right?”
Tak Woo-hyun. Officially, he never revealed or said that he was on Lee Hyun-seung’s side. However, it was possible to infer that the two of them were on the same side to some extent just by rejecting Yoo Hee-yeon’s previous claim to buy weapons with money and delivering the handmade weapon to Lee Hyeon-seung as it was.
No, it wasn’t just that. In the first place, it is really rare for Tak Woo-hyun to create and engrave the SIH+ logo on his own. The large-scale weapons and items commissioned by the Artemis Guild were also carried out in the form of casting out excellent blacksmiths rather than making them by hand, so Tak Woo-hyun’s move this time was very strange. Unless he had some kind of connection with Lee Hyeon-seung, it would be impossible to give such preferential treatment to students.
That’s why Yoo Hee-yeon didn’t know how to do it yet, but thought that Lee Hyun-seung had succeeded in enlisting Tak Woo-hyeon. And, it was correct.
Seeing Yoo Hee-yeon’s staring eyes, Lee Hyun-seung answered.
“What do you really believe in and act so haphazardly? I don’t know if the Artemis guild will look after you right now, but you should know that you can be kicked out at any time.”
Looking at Yoo Hee-yeon, who was trembling, Lee Hyun-seung grinned.
Yoo Hee-yeon’s father and Artemis guild leader Yuhan-beom. The man values blood ties, but what he considers more important than that is ability.
Those who inherit his blood or who are allied with him become superior to anyone and must always be in a position to command people. He is a man with a mindset.
‘Actually, Yuhanbeom has never been in second place.’
Yuhan-beom is a man who has been gifted with magical talent since childhood and has been called a genius. It is known that he first awakened as a unique level wizard and is now aiming for a legend level. He was the top student from the time he entered the academy, and even when he graduated, he took first place in both practical and written writing with an overwhelming grade difference.
What’s even more surprising is that as soon as he graduated from the academy, he created his own guild and started recruiting guild members by actively using his eyes to see people. That was the Artemis Guild.
‘A talented bastard.’
A psychopath with suspected obsessive-compulsive disorder who is gifted with everything from birth and never neglects to work hard. A madman for sure. That’s Yuhan’s crime.
Yuhan-beom’s strict standards were not limited to himself. Back when I was playing Broad Academy Online. Yoo Hee-yeon began to lose favor with Yoo Hee-yeon every time she failed to take the top spot, and later reached the point where she did not give any special favors or treat her specially, even though she was his own daughter.
‘In a word, it is said that Yoo Hee-yeon is now under the protection of the Artemis Guild, but if Yoo Yu-beom evaluates her as a useless person, then she may end up leaving.’
As Yoo Hee-yeon is his daughter, Yuhan-beom will have high expectations for her. So, if you don’t get first place in both practical and written skills, you’ll be more and more disappointed. Hyunseung Lee pointed out that part.
Then Yoo Hee-yeon shouted,
“Everything…are you talking about what you know! What the hell do you know, a f*cking gunslinger…”
She shuddered and looked at Lee Hyun-seung, full of life. Lee Hyun-seung looked at her eyes and thought.
‘Fortunately, Yuhan-beom’s personality seems to be the same as in the game.’
Seeing how excited he was, it was easy to see that what Lee Hyun-seung said was not wrong. Yoo Hee-yeon knows that too. If you’re not the best, you can be abandoned by Yuhan-beom at any time.
-Wheeying
Yoo Hee-yeon could not stand her anger and began to gather mana into her staff.
“You…nothing goes right after hooking up with you…because of you, I took the lead writing position that should have belonged to me…and nothing goes my way…is this all stalker sh*t?” it’s because of you If you had stayed still, if you hadn’t done anything, none of this would have happened. So don’t blame me.”
She opened her eyes and tried to enchant. But at that moment.
-Turup
Choi I-seul held her staff in her hand. Then, the flow of mana energy began to calm down in an instant.
“Yoo Hee-yeon. Inside the academy, it is forbidden to use magic on each other other than sparring.”
The flow of mana between Yoo Hee-yeon and Lee Hyeon-seung that had been flowing for a while. Sensing something strange, she quickly rushed to the F class. Fortunately, I was able to stop it before it exploded. If Yoo Hee-yeon and Lee Hyun-seung collided, there would have been a huge impact.
“…”
Yoo Hee-yeon, who blocked her mana, looked at President Choi I-seul.
“I wasn’t the first to do it. That person provoked me first.”
It’s an absurd sound. To be punished for provoking first, of course such a thing is not allowed. If another student had said something like this, he would have told him not to talk nonsense and to keep his mouth shut, but Choi Yi-seul spoke as politely as possible as Yoo Hee-yeon said.
“I will talk to Mr. Lee Hyun-seung separately. So, please let go of your anger this time.”
-Wheek
Yoo Hee-yeon looked at Lee Hyeon-seung with annoyed eyes, then turned around and left.
“You’re lucky, if my magic had worked properly, you would have been crippled somewhere. I’m warning you, but from now on, if you open your mouth as if you know something about the Artemis Guild or my father, I’ll tear your mouth apart, so you’d better stay still.”
– turbug
– turbug
– turbug
After those words, Yoo Hee-yeon got further and further away. As Yoo Hee-yeon walked away, Choi I-seul thought.
‘Yoo Hee-yeon’s magic crippled Lee Hyeon-seung?’
She couldn’t agree with that.
-Sueug
Choi Iseul looked at the gun Lee Hyeonseung was holding. The powerful energy of mana still overflowing from Lee Hyeon-seung’s gun. The energy of that mana was terrifying and brutal.
If the bullet had been fired from that gun, it would have gone through most of the magic. Rather, it might have been Yoo Hee-yeon who was crippled.
-gulp
‘It’s a monster. It certainly wasn’t like this when I saw it before.’
Looking at Lee Hyeon-seung, who was growing like crazy, how long had it been since they last met, Choi I-seul couldn’t help but admire. But apart from that, I was also worried.
‘I’m worried that I’m over-stimulating Yoo Hee-yeon, the daughter of Artemis’ guild leader…’
The moment Choi I-seul was thinking that way, Lee Hyun-seung asked Choi a question.
“Should I follow the president?”
– I will talk to Mr. Lee Hyun-seung separately. So, please let go of your anger this time.
When Lee Hyeon-seung asked a question because of what Choi Yi-seul had just said, Choi Yi-seul answered inaudible.
“No, you don’t have to follow me. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like someone was unilaterally provoking it, and I didn’t actually use magic, so I think it’d be better to end it at this point without any problems.”
Iseul Choi owes his heart to Hyeonseung Lee. Still, proper evidence has not come out, but because Yoo Hee-yeon’s mother, Kim Hee-ra, pressured her. It was because Lee Hyun-seung was suspended under the pretext that he might be a stalker. It is Choi I-seul who punishes students without accurate evidence. It was an act that went against her educational policy. That’s why Choi Yi-seul was favoring a student named Lee Hyeon-seung without realizing it.
Guilt towards his students who had to be unfairly punished for not being a proper educator. Choi Yi-seul felt with his whole body every day that it was heavier and more burdensome than he thought.
In fact, if Artemis noticed this case, it was appropriate to punish only Lee Hyun-seung. However, Choi Iseul did not do that. No, I couldn’t. Because she also had a conscience.
Eventually, Choi Isul is about to return to the president’s office. I found weapons that were shining in the distance.
-Wheek
Weapons bearing the SIH+ logo. A weapon handcrafted by Tak Woo-hyeon, the most famous blacksmith in Korea. The weapons that all adventurers want and long for were held by dozens of class F students.
“Eh…how on earth did this happen? How can so many people…?”
Choi Yi-seul murmured, and Lee Hyun-seung answered with a grin.
“I commissioned it.”
“You… commissioned it? All those handmade weapons?”
It’s nonsense. In fact, Choi Yi-seul, the president, also requested Tak Woo-hyeon to make weapons, but was rejected. But I had to believe it. Because there were countless SIH+ weapons spread out in front of me.
“This…what the hell happened…”
She looked at the weapons countless times with empty eyes.
