I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 21 - Tournament (3)

Returning to the waiting room, Seo-joon sat down and checked the progress of the lecture, which was due to a duel with Jang Deok-cheol.

< Progress rate of Chiron Lecture +1% (32.7%) >

< Progress rate of Shakyamuni Lecture +0.1% (6.9%) >

< Progress rate of Xiangwu Lecture +1.5% (34.9%) >

Looking at efficiency alone, it was not a small improvement.

However, competitions like this were not common, and now the number of duels has decreased as people have already abstained.

It seemed that I would not be able to raise the progress rate significantly this time.

In fact, it was a pretty disappointing progress rate for Seo-jun, who expected it to rise like the manticore.

‘The free pass period continues to decrease...'

Seojun confirmed the remaining free pass usage period.

< The remaining period until the member's free pass ends: 52 days. >

Considering the first 90 days, 38 days have passed.

Considering that it took just over a month, it was a tremendous growth, but at this rate, it was not enough time to complete not only Shakyamuni lectures, but also Chiron and Hangu's lectures.

In fact, even if I completed both within the period, I had to keep purchasing the free pass because of the Sakyamuni lecture.

‘If you want to repurchase a weapon accident free pass ticket... Money will be tight. I should definitely aim for the winning prize.'

Let's calculate the number of cases Seo-joon has left. If he wins the next duel with Lee Chul-min, Seo-jun could go to the final.

And with the exception of one case, Seo-joon is certain to win even if he goes to the finals.

“Tongue brother…?”

At that moment, I heard a young voice calling Seo-joon from somewhere.

Seo-joon could tell that he was Min-gi without even turning his head.

“Your brother was such a strong person?”

As expected, Min-gi opened his eyes in surprise and was looking at Seo-joon.

Seojun shrugged his shoulders and replied.

“When did I ever say I was weak?”

“Uh...”

Min-gi was momentarily speechless at Seo-joon's answer.

Then, realizing that Seo-joon had never been like that, he shamelessly scratched the back of his head.

“Ah, anyway, it was the best!”

Seo-joon said with a smile at Min-gi's appearance.

“Is your game next? go and do well See you in the finals.”

“...yes.”

Mingi answered in a crawling voice.

Then, after a little hesitation, he slowly opened his mouth.

“That… older brother. Can I too?”

Seojun looked at Mingi for a while and said.

“Why do you think it won’t work?”

“That's right... Lee Jun-hwan is full of talent and strong, but someone like me is weak and has no talent. He's a guy who doesn't work... And since everyone says it won't work, again...”

Seo-joon listened to Min-gi's words.

In a word, Mingi was ordinary.

The only thing different from others was that he was a natural awakener, but that was it.

Min-gi's talent wasn't exceptional, and now you and I are flocking to become pro hunters.

The word mediocre was a refined expression of the word lack of talent.

And it wasn't much different from Seo-joon 38 days ago.

So Seo-joon asked without knowing.

“Why do you want to become a pro hunter?”

“yes? Me?”

Seojun nodded and said.

“They said you were weak and untalented and would never work. But why do you want to become a professional hunter?”

In response to Seo-joon's sudden question, Min-gi kept his mouth shut.

Mingi couldn't understand why Seojun asked such a question.

However, Seo-joon's gaze, looking at himself, did not contain any playfulness or jokes.

“Did I tell you in the…maze that I have a sister who is 10 years younger?”

So, Mingi couldn't understand why he was saying this.

Seojun nodded.

In addition, he heard that he lost his parents early, but Seo-joon did not dare to say it.

Mingi lowered his eyes slightly and said.

“Actually... my brother knows I'm a Hunter. I know. what a hunter You can't even reach the tips of those feet. But in my brother's eyes, I look like a hunter. I once saw my brother bragging to his friends. At that time, my brother's friends wow! wow! While doing so, he looks up to his younger brother...”

Min-gi continued by lowering his head as if he was embarrassed.

“That... that was just so good...”

Seo-joon let out a chuckle at Min-gi's crawling words.

Seeing Seo-jun like that, Min-gi hurriedly continued talking, perhaps ashamed.

“But when I did it, it seemed like it suited my aptitude. Above all, you can earn a lot of money. Then my brother can live doing whatever he wants to do. If I suffer a little...”

That was then.

“Lee Min-gi, student! Student Junhwan Lee! The tournament is ready!”

The shouts of contestants resounded in the waiting room.

Seojun nodded and said.

“Do well.”

“…Your brother.”

Mingi stood up from his seat with an unfamiliar expression on his face.

Seojun silently looked at Mingi's back.

People have different reasons for wanting to become pro hunters.

I want to make a lot of money, I want to be famous, I want to be successful. Or just because

But while there may be similar reasons, there will be no identical reasons.

If there are 100 people, there are 100 reasons.

And it's not limited to being a silk prohunter.

If there are 100 jobs, there are also 100 reasons for them.

‘That... that was just so good...'

A fiercely competitive society.

If you don't improve day by day, you're evaluated as incompetent, if you don't need it, you're abandoned, if you don't need it, you're insulted, and you're forced to work hard and succeed.

In terms of right and wrong, which side is Mingi closer to?

And which side is Seo-jun himself standing on?

‘...'

Seojun wanted to watch Mingi's fight.

Lee Jun-hwan was quite annoyed right now.

It was none other than a tournament opponent, and it was because of the kid who was playing around in front of me.

Skin that doesn't even shed breasts.

Did I have to hit a lot to become a high school student?

“Whoa...! you can do it. I can.”

And he's been muttering something since before, and that also bothered me quite a bit.

Lee Jun-hwan looked at the kid with a displeased expression.

Then the eyes of fear looking at himself.

Lee Jun-hwan could tell without fighting.

That guy is a prey. An incompetent person who can do nothing but get eaten.

A common existence that spreads the floor.

On the other hand, he was a predator.

With superior talent, they step on others, stand up, and eat them.

A being that everyone envy and look up to.

‘The kid who came here because he was lucky.'

So Lee Jun-hwan became even more annoyed.

Originally, whether it was the 1st competition or the 2nd competition, 1st place should have been yours.

It wasn't a matter of pride, it was just a natural result.

In the first place, the level difference between the trash and himself was different.

But, does it make sense for a kid who isn't so hot to get ahead of him?

And that's because of one damn factor called luck.

‘Especially that bastard...'

Lee Jun-hwan recalled a man he saw in the waiting room.

In fact, when the first dungeon breakthrough player came out, Lee Jun-hwan thought that there were students like him who had no choice but to participate in this competition.

However, what I actually encountered was a guy with a dumbfounded atmosphere, as if a screw was missing somewhere.

Lee Jun-hwan was disappointed, and later when he heard that the majority of the students had withdrawn, he thought he would have withdrawn as well.

However, the reality was that he was a child who was playing around right in front of his eyes.

When Lee Jun-hwan raised his gaze once more, the kid was holding his posture with his weapon, the sword.

Do you really think you can win? A bug like that?

‘Fuck.'

Lee Jun-hwan just didn't like the whole situation.

“Hey referee. When does it start?”

“There will be a comment from the moderator soon. It starts right after that, so please prepare in advance.”

< Come on! Long wait! The second match of the 2nd competition tournament... >

As soon as the referee's words were finished, the voice of the moderator was heard.

Then he said something loud, but Lee Jun-hwan didn't listen.

Lee Jun-hwan heard only one word.

< Let's start!! >

It was just a cry to start the game.

Park Lee Jun-hwan kicked the ground at almost the same time as the moderator spoke.

As Lee Jun-hwan's body moved forward, the distance between him and Min-ki narrowed in an instant.

A competition that is not like this.

Lee Jun-hwan intended to finish it quickly without wasting time.

Quick!

That's why Lee Jun-hwan didn't give an excuse from the first attack.

Caang!

“Keugh!”

Min-gi, who managed to block it, let out a moan without even realizing it.

Actually, I don't even know how to stop it.

What Min-gi recognized was his grip and trembling body, which burst open with just one attack.

So Min-gi was able to realize right away.

Can not. Can't win.

It just wasn't a match.

Contrary to the expectation that he would be able to withstand and respond a little, the fight was one-sided.

Kang!

“Cuck!”

Can we call this a fight in the first place?

When a lion and a tiger fight, the winner is determined by various variables such as location, time, and condition.

However, in a battle between a deer and a tiger, the deer can win only by luck.

Landslides caused by earthquakes Electric shocks caused by lightning strikes.

An S-class hunter woodcutter who was doing woodwork there.

Here Mingi was a deer.

“If you become a bug, behave like a bug!”

Lee Jun-hwan was a tiger.

“Cuck!”

Lee Jun-hwan's attack led Min-gi to kneel, coughing up blood.

Kneeling view.

I saw Lee Jun-hwan's feet trudging toward me.

I saw the face of the referee shaking his head.

what can't It won't work. I can not do it.

Mingi lowered his head.

and.

Mingi could see Seojun standing at the entrance to the waiting room.

‘Seojun hyung...'

When Min-gi first saw Seo-joon, Min-gi was attracted to Seo-joon without even realizing it.

kinship? I'm not sure what kind of attraction it was.

Mingi could feel a certain familiarity with Seojun.

That's why when Seo-joon beat Jang Deok-cheol, Min-gi was happy as if I had won.

But on the other hand, I was envious of Seo-jun.

‘My brother is a hunter! What's wrong?'

‘Hunter? People who just scold dogs?!'

‘then! My brother is a hero who punishes bad people and bad dogs and protects people!'

‘wow! Your brother is really cool!'

Because there were things I couldn't do.

Because there were things I couldn't do.

I know better than anyone that this is an obvious fact.

‘Why do you think it won't work?'

Why did Seo-joon's words from before keep repeating in my head?

Mingi trudged to his feet.

< Ah! Lee Min-ki students! Wake up! >

“Lee Min-gi, a student. Can you do more?”

Mingi didn't answer.

only once. Because it's good just once.

I want to touch even my fingertips.

“Aaaaaaaaa!”

Min-gi grabbed his sword and rushed at Lee Jun-hwan.

Caang!

However, the reality was harsh and cruel enough to bring in comical elements such as self-denial.

dump.

In the end, Min-gi could not receive Lee Jun-hwan's attack and collapsed on the spot. < The winner is Lee.Jun.Hwan from Revenant Academy!!! >

“As expected, it’s Lee Jun-hwan!”

“I'm not even an opponent!!”

The sound of cheers bursting out with the declaration of the winner.

‘That was just...'

But Lee Jun-hwan couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Swoop.

Lee Jun-hwan raised his hand and touched his face.

Then, I felt the wet feeling at my fingertips.

There was a little bit of blood on his fingertips.

‘It reached...?'

Do you dare that bug?

Lee Jun-hwan approached Min-gi, who was lying on the floor with his face distorted.

And Seo-joon looked at the whole situation silently and then turned his back.

“How dare you, this piece of trash...”

He stood tall again.

Seo-jun's footsteps came to a halt at Lee Jun-hwan's sudden words.

“Two.”

When he turned his back, Lee Jun-hwan was spitting on Min-gi's face while trampling on it.

Then he said with a very annoyed expression.

“There's a fuss over just one guy like this...”

Fuck.

It was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd, but Seo-jun could hear it.

“It’s really annoying. It's not enough to have come this far with just luck, and even these bugs act like hunters...”

Seo-joon watched the scene in silence.

“If you see all of these guys accepting one by one, this asshole competition will come out on top. That's why you're listening to part 4, fuck.”

“Student Lee Jun-hwan! What are you doing!”

There was no reason for Seo-joon to step out. Even if Seo-joon doesn't have to step out, the officials will take care of it.

Of course, it is true that Lee Jun-hwan's behavior is annoying.

However, Lee Jun-hwan is the opponent we will meet in the finals anyway. It's enough to solve old feelings at that time...

“I can't play with you because the level is really fucking low. I think I lost the championship anyway... Hey, the referee won't hang out with me anymore, so I'll just forsake it. I’ll just have to give my uncle a few rough lectures later.”

Lee Jun-hwan looked down at Min-ki, who was stepping on it with a fishy smile.

Min-gi didn't move at all, either because he was fainting or because he didn't have the strength to lift a hand.

“Student Lee Jun-hwan! Stop right now! If you keep doing that, you have no choice but to take action!”

“What is the action? do i give up? and referee. Aren't you annoying too? To have to watch a bastard like this pretend to be a hunter? Climbing without knowing where they should be.”

Woo woo woo.

sound getting louder and louder.

“These guys are just…”

And that was it.

Kang!

Seojun heard Lee Junhwan's voice.

“What kind of bastard are you?”

It was a sudden attack from Seo-jun, but Lee Jun-hwan easily blocked the attack.

“you...?”

And Lee Jun-hwan, who confirmed the existence of Seo-jun, showed a slightly surprised expression.

two people facing each other.

“Your mind has changed.”

Seojun said in a chilling voice.

“You should be right now.”
