My Abandoned Disciples Came to Me

5. Best Revenge

– crumble

After Yang Han-gil left, I stayed in the magic dungeon to clean things up.

Then, the director approached me and asked me in a worried voice.

“Is that…are you okay?…I didn’t mean to listen…it seems like something bad happened…”

I replied with a smile.

“it’s okay.”

The director didn’t say anything and stood awkwardly, so I smiled and bowed my head saying that I could go in.

“I’m going to clean up here. As I heard earlier, you seem to be busy with work, so please go quickly. I will send you the cost of repairing the daggers separately.”

“Oh my gosh.. you don’t have to..”

“no.”

I was quietly cleaning up the dungeon again. As I was about to pick up the rubble that had fallen to the floor, someone touched my hand.

‘…?’

When I turned around and checked, Seol Eun-ah looked at me and said with a smile.

“You still have excellent magic skills.”

Her words were a bit strange.

‘still?’

Talking as if you knew me. But I don’t remember her.

Seol Eun-ah talked to me as if she was sad.

“You really don’t remember me?”

“…”

“Don’t you remember the case in the past when a B-class gate was instantly turned into a black gate, and three guilds were isolated?”

“I do remember.”

A dungeon exists inside the gate, and the danger level of the dungeon is classified by the grade of the gate. The higher the level of the gate, the more dangerous the dungeons are.

However, there is another variable here. It is [Blackgate].

Although the cause is still unknown, there are times when, with an extremely rare probability, black magic gathers at the gate for a moment, and a nonsensical phenomenon that the gate rank increases by 2 or 3 stages sometimes occurs. Even in an emergency situation, it becomes impossible to go outside.

In other words, it is said that the ‘black gate’ has occurred in a terrible situation in which the gate itself is blocked and trapped because it is not enough to enter the C-class gate, but the A-S-class dungeon comes out.

‘Oh, I remember. Back then, I didn’t have long hair, but short hair.’

I thought something vaguely familiar, but she was one of the guild members trapped there when the Black Gate occurred in Korea.

For reference, I can freely enter and exit the Black Gate using a few shortcuts. Of course, I can’t let others in, but I can only get one body in.

Seol Eun-ah looked at me and bowed her head to express her gratitude.

“At that time, I was really grateful. Because of the Black Gate, an A-class dungeon appeared and everyone almost died. Only three guild drones consisting of a C-grade wizard and a swordsman, of course, you can’t kill the A-grade dungeon boss. So, I thought I was dead, but thanks to Joo Won, everyone was able to survive and come out.”

At least five years from now, there was a brief time in the past when I was working as a hunter and helping others with a sense of justice for nothing. Thanks to that, after I literally almost lost my way in the Class A dungeon created because of the Black Gate, I lived my life by just drying my body rather than invoking a useless sense of justice.

I looked at Seol Eun-ah and talked.

“You don’t have to say thank you. After all, I took the items that came out after catching the boss anyway, and I was able to get a lot of additional skills.”

“It is natural. In fact, Joo Won caught the boss alone, didn’t he?”

‘Well, it’s not wrong.’

The guilds locked in the gates were people who initially thought it was a C-grade gate, so the combat power wasn’t that great in general. So, I actually wanted to clear the A-class gate by myself.

Seol Eun-ah took one step closer to me and spoke.

“I should have come to see you sooner and thank you, but you look so busy that I haven’t been able to visit you carelessly until now. But now you seem a little more relaxed.”

“Well, I felt a lot more relaxed.”

Seol Eun-ah hardened her expression and spoke.

“Are you framed at Helmund Academy?”

Her words come in without context. As I stared blankly, she continued to explain.

“I’ve heard everything from informants I already knew.”

“The news that Mr. Joo Won semi-forcedly resigned and was kicked out of Helmund Academy because he used the intranet to extort and privately use the information of students. But honestly, I can’t believe it.”

“…why are you saying you can’t believe it? Everyone is saying that I did.”

Seol Eun-ah shook her head and spoke.

“There is no reason for someone with many skills like you to use an intranet. If you use your skills and magical powers, you can steal other people’s cell phones and personal information casually, right? Of course, you will never do that.”

“Even a person who can fire S-class magic loosely leaves a connection record on the intranet? This also doesn’t make sense. I can’t help but feel like someone has framed me in a very malicious way.”

“…”

While I was silent, Seol Eun-ah took my hand and talked.

“Tell me what happened. Ever since you rescued me from Blackgate, I’ve been struggling with the idea of repaying you every time. Thanks to that, I, who used to be only a C-class hunter, is now the guild leader of a high-level guild.”

“If you are unfairly framed, I can help you. The reason I met you today on Yanghan-gil was because I wanted to convey these words.”

I was mentally very tired. I needed someone to lean on. So, as if possessed by something, I talked about what had happened so far.

“..I don’t know in detail, let me give you an overview…”

When I finished my explanation, she responded in disbelief.

“Such… nonsense… Are you saying that the disciple you were teaching was like that…?”

“Yeah, I think it’s very likely.”

Seol Eun-ah cried out in anger.

“You said that the disciple’s name was Baek Hyun-seo? Why are you leaving that bastard unkilled? Even if you rip it right away, it won’t be enough! Even the other pupils texted you to die? They all deserve to die. After listening to the story, how much has Joo Won done so far, he has done such a shameful thing.”

Seeing her genuinely angry, I felt a little relieved. The fact that someone was angry for me only felt awkward. Man, up until now, there were only people trying to get me down.

I talked to Seol Eun-ah.

“There is no need for me to kill him. Either way, they’ll wither to death. Like a frog growing slowly in a pot, it will die without even knowing the water is boiling.”

“Is there something you haven’t told me yet?”

I didn’t tell Seol Eun-ah that the [Severe Fate] debuff would be applied to the disciples soon. Because there was no reason to reveal all the skills I had.

Seol Eun-ah talked to me with a look that didn’t seem to be filled with s*x.

“I don’t know how, but if a brilliant wizard like Joo Won talks like that, they will surely suffer. But I don’t think that’s enough revenge.”

Seol Eun-ah said with a smirk.

“Joo Won, do you know what the best revenge is?”

“The best revenge?…I don’t know.”

“The best revenge, in my opinion, is to make the other person madly regret it.”

Seol Eun-ah smiled and pointed to her cell phone and talked.

“Yang Han-gil, that person is starting a lecture soon, right? Even the disciples you taught.”

“yes.”

“From what I’ve seen, his teaching style is so good that it can be called the standard at Helmund Academy, in other words, there’s nothing special about it. In the first place, these self-proclaimed elites all use the same mana.”

“So, in line with Yang Han-gil’s class schedule, why don’t Joo-won upload his lectures on the video platform?”

When I was taken aback by Seol Eun-ah’s sudden suggestion, she continued to explain.

“Before I came here, I looked up Joo Won’s lecture curriculum, and it was so good that it was not enough to literally call it a revolution, and it was different.”

“If, according to Han-Gil Yang’s class schedule, the number of views of your lectures increases like crazy, and your students come across it by chance, what do you think would happen if it was even more efficient if you followed your method?”

I answered.

“Um… you think Yang Han-gil is incompetent, right? If you feel that you are not as good as the lectures on the video platform.”

Then she smiled and spoke.

“That’s it. Of course, right now, as public opinion towards you is not good, you have to cover your face with a mask and change your voice, but after you get rid of the accusation later, your face will be revealed.”

“By then, you will be famous as you are famous. If there is even one student who has been watching the lectures without knowing it is you, you will regret it like crazy. The fact that he had abandoned such a capable man, an innocent man.”

To summarize what she said, it was a story that told me to become a creator who produces lecture videos. While hiding his identity, he becomes famous by uploading the content of an unconventional lecture, and by the time he gets enough recognition, when his accusation is released, he reveals his identity and makes others regret it.

‘I don’t know if it will turn out the way I thought…’

To be honest, I was confident in the content of the lecture. Because I know very specifically how to use mana or skills that are not known to the public. Thanks to those know-how, I was able to win the title of S-Class Instructor, so this part was in fact guaranteed content.

However, just because I uploaded a lecture video to a video platform, I wondered if other students would see it.

“I am confident in my teaching. However, can the video I uploaded become famous enough to be seen by the students of the prestigious Helmund Academy? I’ve never done anything like video editing before.”

Seol Eun-ah heard my words and said with a smirk.

“Do not worry. You know the world famous video platform called NA TUBE? Among the people who run MCN I know, there are people who have raised a lot of creators with over 1 million subscribers on their platform.”

“If I ask you, he will be in charge of editing, publicity, and even inflow. Of course, I will bear all the expenses. Of course, Joo Won can take the profits from uploading videos. I’m just doing this to repay the favor.”

“That’s a bit burdensome. We’ll talk about the revenue part again later. After all, I don’t really need a lot of money.”

In fact, up until this point, I didn’t really trust Seol Eun-ah’s words. This is because the topic of ‘lecture’ did not seem to be very popular on the NA TUBE video platform, which is full of stimulating content.

“Then I’ll call the MCN he runs. Wait.”

After checking things out for a while, she started talking on the phone.

“Yes, Mr. B&H, how are you? I contacted you because I wanted to raise one creator. The content quality is sure, and I will go with the concept of a masked instructor. For initial boosting, please use all the promotional functions as much as you can. I will pay you whatever you want.”

After that, she talked for a while, then looked at me and smiled.

“Joo Won, could you please send me a video of a lecture that will surprise people? Don’t worry, I’ll edit and upload it for you.”

“Um… let’s make it.”

she handed the phone

“can I have your phone number. You can send the video here.”

***

When I got home, I stood in front of a white wall, looked at the camera, and talked to myself for a while.

– tyring

– Recording is complete.

‘Ha.. it’s finally over.’

This time shooting was about ‘how to use mana’, especially how to improve ‘destructive power’. I’m sure most people don’t know about it, but I’m not sure if it will become as famous as Seol Eun-ah says.

I sent an hour-long video to Seol Eun-ah and then texted her.

– Seol Eun-ah, filming is complete.

– I’ll check it out, Joo Won.

About two hours later she sent me a link.

– How do you like it?

When I clicked the link she sent me, my channel was created on NA TUBE. 1 video. This is a video of a lecture I took while wearing a mask.

When I checked it, I saw that the video, which was about an hour long, had only extracts and edited into 10 minutes.

The thumbnail was written in a large text, ‘Paid lectures at the Magic Academy, don’t listen to such things’, and the title was attracting aggression by saying, ‘The reason your magic has been weak until now’.

– Uploaded 10 minutes ago. 1,000 views

‘What..I just uploaded this, what’s the number of views?’

‘It’s been 10 minutes since I posted. Even the first video. But already?’

I was a little surprised, but I fell asleep with a feeling that this is what I was going to say.

In the morning, Seol Eun-ah received dozens of text messages.

– Mr. Joo Won. Come on check out the video. It’s great, it’s great!

– Can you see the number of views and subscribers now? Wow, I’ve never seen such an explosive figure.

– Can’t you just pretend you didn’t know that I became more famous later? You know huh?

‘What the hell…’

I tried to enter my channel on my cell phone in a dreamy state.

‘f*ck… does this make sense?’

-Uploaded 7 hours ago. 1.7 million views.

Arguably, it was the first time I had received such a great deal of attention, whether on Earth or possessing this game. I pressed the comment with a trembling hand.

– Wow, crazy. You can really use magic like this?

– I tried it, but why is this happening hahaha

b lol

– He’s crazy. If you can solve this for free, what will other instructors do? It’s disgusting really.

B Why the f*ck do you write bad comments to people who do good things?

B No, if we just release these things for free, wouldn’t people in the same industry starve?

b yeah I don’t know Just starve.

– I saw the video that Miyo shared, and it’s amazing. Subscribe and go.

B I also came to see Miyo.

n Miyo eyes hehehe

There were explosive reactions and stories about subscribers in the comments, so I checked the channel only then.

‘crazy…’

Channel Name: Masked Instructor

Subscribers: 201,000

In one day, I became a NA TUBE star instructor.

‘Nonsense…’

That’s when I was laughing so much. A happy notice popped up.

– Tiling!

– It has been 24 hours since the [Royal Road] skill link was released. The [Severe Fate] debuff is given to 521 people who have been disqualified as ‘heirs’.

[SSS] harsh fate

◎The growth rate is greatly reduced.

◎Luck stats are greatly reduced.

◎ Mana utilization is greatly reduced.

◎The total amount of mana gradually decreases.

◎Sometimes great bad luck comes.

◎All effects will last until re-linked as a ‘successor’.

Yang Han-gil’s first class began with 521 students who were affected by the SSS-level debuff.

“Nice to meet you. This is the world’s best wizard, Yang Han-gil, who will teach you instead of Joo-won Choi.”
