18 – The Realm of the Superman

“Is there any room for reversal?”
“What do you mean?”
Yes. He defeated Jin Baekryong. This is something that can’t be helped. At least 300 people have seen it and are now biting, biting and enjoying the scene.
But up to this point, Jin Baek-ryong was actually a bubble. In the first year, besides the children of teenage families, rookies worth noting appeared.
In fact, there may be a Jin Baekryong bubble going around right now.
However, in the Beatrice Academy entrance exam, you achieved an overwhelming first place and the highest overall score? This was a different story. This is because it is not just a bubble, but an unbelievable.
As I entered the world’s No. 1 Academy as a senior, the world will start paying attention to me, and the leisurely, happy life of a landlord I dreamed of will be over.
As Ellis said, the sticky eyes of many people who only want me to make mistakes will follow me. I really hate that kind of life, so maybe I can change it.
“If I do the calculations properly, maybe my score is lower than I thought, or there might be someone with a score that can surpass me in the exams conducted in other groups, right?”
‘Say yes. Please.’
It was only then that the instructor clenched his fists, tapped his palms, and opened his mouth with an expression of understanding.
“Aha! Is it because you’re worried that you might be the chief?”
‘f*ck. It’s the opposite.’
“Don’t worry! The survival score of the written test is also the highest since they were the last two people, so they received a double bonus, and the most tokens collected were 29, so there is a 0% chance that Yuwon Kim is not the top scorer. . Must, must, must! Chief!”
Yes. I must, must, must be the chief. I don’t know if I need to emphasize that much, but even if I didn’t emphasize it, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m f*cked up.
“Wait… I heard Kim Yu-won is a long-range hunter?”
A new rice cake has begun to circulate around.
“Right…! Come to think of it, I saw it at the long-distance test site!”
‘I went there to hide my power…’
“It is strong enough to overwhelm Jinbaekryong in an instant even at close range, but is it greater than that at long range?”
No.
“Isn’t that… Just an S-class? Couldn’t the youngest S-class hunter come out of our classmates?”
No matter how well you hit a long range attack, it’s from the top of the B class to the bottom of the A class. S-class is a real dog nonsense.
Pair-
Just before the rumor spreads further, the sound of the instructor joining hands is heard.
“The Beatrice Academy entrance exam ended with group A like this. We will send the admission ranking and class to all successful applicants via text message, so please check carefully and refer to it after the entrance ceremony next week. Next time When I see you, it must be between instructor and student. Until now, I have been Han Ah-reum, the instructor of monster ecology. Thank you all for your hard work.”
Clap clap clap clap-
The entrance exam ended with applause from countless students. However, I couldn’t hear the applause. It feels like some kind of s*x hole that insults me.
“Ah. Yuwon Kim will send a notice to the freshman representative, so please come prepared.”
Instructor Han Ah-reum winks at me with such a frown. I was almost forced to become the representative of freshmen, so I have to prepare something else for that.
The world is like this. The world is too harsh to live by doing only what you want to do. My age is 137 years old. I felt like I had grown up a little bit, and my taste buds became bitter.
“Hey. Let’s stop the atmosphere and go eat. I heard you’re shooting today?”
CNU came up from behind and walked on his shoulder.
After sharing the delicious chicken Shinwoo bought with his wives a week ago, he contacted him separately and promised to buy food after the exam.
Looking around, almost all the instructors and other students have disappeared, leaving only my acquaintances and a few students.
“Ha… Yes. A promise is a promise.”
You can’t break a promise just because you’re upset.
“By the way, you… You fought really well..? Talk to me about your past life while eating later. Seeing you fight makes me f*cking curious.”
Though the fight broke all my peace.
“Okay.”
I was thinking of telling my ball friends anyway. At that time, the other people who were watching also approached me.
“Yuwon. I saw it well. As expected, it was really impressive to see him subdue the enemy regardless of means and methods like a soldier of the Heavenly Demon Church. Although his strength is a bit lacking compared to that time, his skills haven’t rusted at all.”
It may have been a bit awkward in this life, but these are the movements that I have been practicing for at least 60 years since I broke up with Ha-yeon.
Even if emotions are erased, memories remain, so if you find some sense, you can always show off your prime skills.
‘I’ll need a lot of experience points and elixirs instead.’
“Because I fought like that, I was mistaken for a demon…”
Estel, still unable to reflect on herself, drives me to become the Demon King’s subordinate. Seeing that they call me a demon, it is clear that this is heresy.
“Yeob… No, it’s Yoowon.”
Liela tried to get the word honey out of her mouth, but succeeded in restraining herself in the middle. I think it’s wonderful to be able to do just this much.
‘Why didn’t I properly call you honey?’
I plan to use it later at home.
“I wonder how you’ve been too? I’d love to hear from you.”
Even Seung-ah, curious about my past, joined the group.
And an unexpected person also approached me. Jin Baek-Ryong, who was beaten in the mount by me earlier and kicked out of virtual reality.
He comes to me with his head down.
“I learned a lot. I often sparred with the elders of my family and had quite a bit of experience catching monsters, so I thought I was used to combat, but I guess I was very mistaken. Thanks to you, I seem to have found a way to practice.”
‘Uh… I don’t think we should go that way?’
As I felt while sparring, Jin Baek Ryong’s fighting style was similar to that of Namgung Se Ga.
Like the Cheonma Shinkyo, the Namgung family was a family in which power was everything, and they used swordsmanship characterized by their honesty, believing in that power and not using irregularities.
Is the opponent confused and appearing irregularly?
Their method is to polish the stone more and more and press it down with force. Jin Baek-ryong is also a person who suits that style of battle.
He doesn’t look like a bad guy, so I think it’s okay to give him some simple advice. Because I feel sorry if the future of the guy who was prosperous is ruined because of me.
“Don’t be shaken. Because of the recent battle, your confidence in your path has faded, and you feel fascinated by the path I showed you, but that’s just poison.”
My way is not your way. Being enchanted by splendor prevents you from realizing what is important.
“Believe in yourself and swing your sword again as you pursued. The moment all doubts are erased at the end, if the tip of your sword does not shake, you will truly be able to cross the wall.”
What Jin Baekryong learned was not martial arts. However, the realization beyond the wall was not simply a form of power to deal with, but there was one answer that penetrated all of them.
It doesn’t matter whether the type of power you deal with is Aura or Naegong. Only those who do not doubt what they have accumulated and do not give up, and who can step forward are qualified to step into the realm of a superman.
Among the superhumans I met, there was not a single person who did not believe in himself.
“I believe…”
A firearm flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pulled out a sword. Raising the sword high, he lightly flicked it down toward the bottom. The sword sat down quietly without the slightest noise.
However, unlike the quiet surroundings of the sword, the scenery in front of it was different.
Even though I swung it without any energy, a very clean cut was created from the ceiling to the far wall to the floor. Since the heart did not waver, the sword also did not waver.
At that moment, the white energy flowing from Jin Baek-ryeong’s body covered his body, and a crackling sound was heard from within.
‘He jumped over the wall just because he said a word… Crazy guy…’
I hope all the talent bugs die. Non-standard beings who instantly gain achievements that others could take decades to achieve. They are monsters who act as if they are laughing at the efforts of many people.
“Um… What is that?”
CNU opens his mouth like a country boy seeing the metamorphosis for the first time. Everyone except CNU and Seung-ah was in a calm state, probably because it was something they had experienced at least once.
‘Isn’t it strange that even Seung-ah isn’t surprised?’
Isn’t this surprising since something shocking happened recently?
As the noise gradually diminishes, the pure white cocoon made of Jinbaekryong’s energy begins to break.
“Yoo Seung-ah, close your eyes.”
Whispers lightly in Seung-ah’s ear so Shin-woo can’t hear.
“Why?”
“I don’t have time for a long explanation, so hurry up. You mustn’t open it until I tell you to open it.”
“Okay.”
Seung-a closed her eyes. I also closed my eyes.
It feels exhilarating to see Jin Baek-ryong emerge from the broken cocoon, with a body that has become stronger with more organized energy than before, and a face that has changed more like a parasitic brother.
Perhaps it was the aftermath of the metamorphosis, all the clothes were torn and they were naked, and all the wives who expected it had their eyes closed. The only one who had his eyes open was Han Shin-wu.
“Oh f*ck my eyes!!!!”
Han Shin-wu suffered a dramatic blow to his vision after seeing Jin Baek-ryong’s naked body. He looks around to see that everyone but him has their eyes closed, and then swears at me.
“You son of a b*tch Yuwon Kim!!!! You knew everything?! Why didn’t you tell me to close your eyes?!”
I succeeded in punishing CNU who often made fun of me. He felt that the operation was successful as he screamed and poured out his resentment toward me.
As if he didn’t care about such a reaction, the first thing Jin Baek-ryong, who became a superhuman, did after coming out of his cocoon, was to bow to me.
I feel like he’s bowing politely in the Murim style.
“Master, thank you very much. Thanks to Master’s teachings, I was able to overcome the wall.”
‘Who is your teacher, you madman?’
I’ve never had a student like you.
And I want you to wear clothes first. Because I have to open my eyes.
