Episode 301 – Academy (34)

An ordinary 5-star hunter that can be found anywhere.

Kim Junsu evaluated himself that way. What he said a few days ago wasn’t exactly wrong.

But things were a little different now.

Wouldn’t something like ‘5-star hunter with a unique experience’ be appropriate?

“Haha..”

Kim Junsu let out a helpless laugh.

He looked around and only laughed. A dark basement without a single ray of light. He was imprisoned in a primitive form of prison.

Clap!

He shook the iron bars, but he did not move. What he was made of was extremely hard.

“Fuck… How did this happen?”

A few days, no, a dozen days ago, I recalled his memory. Memories right before I got trapped in this shitty place.

That time when I was passing through the familiar wasteland outside the city. He found an unfamiliar hill.

-Was there originally a hill here?
-Well, that’s right. I don’t think there was one.

An unfamiliar pile of dirt in a place I’ve been to many times. Of course I was curious. Because it felt like something was buried.

-Is there a crypt here?
-Shall we go in?

One of his colleagues said, and everyone agreed. I entered the crypt without much thought…

That was the end of it. When I came to my senses, I found myself in an unfamiliar forest.

After wandering for several days, I arrived at an orc colony. Of course, I tried to run away right away, but it was impossible.

‘Damn you monster…’

Captured by an orc with blue skin. I couldn’t even properly resist the overwhelming physical ability.

It was spread out with one torso headbutt. I passed out and when I woke up I was in prison.

“Ha···.”

In fact, at this point, I wasn’t even sure if it was an orc. The monster was… Something unidentified wearing an orc mask.

Clap!

-Human. It’s time. Get ready. Give me the technology.

The blue orc spoke in a strange, hoarse tone.

Although his speech was slurred, there was no laughter. Rather, it gave me goosebumps. If that guy hits you, you won’t be able to resist and you’ll die.

“···I get it.”

He got up from his seat and took a boxing stance, and the blue orc threw something into the prison.

-Krraaaaa!

It was an orc with red eyes. The orc thrown into prison ran like crazy.

Thump thump thump!

As a large figure over 2 meters rushed towards me, it felt like a truck was approaching.

Crack!

I hit him with a fist filled with courage, but it was meaningless.

-Wow!

The orc rushed forward with his shoulders sunken. He didn’t stop because he couldn’t even feel the pain. He swung his broken arm like that.

“Ugh..!”

Eventually, my shoulder was caught in his large grip.

His breath caught in his throat. He felt like he was stuck in a press machine and couldn’t escape.

Wow!

The smell of his blood emanated from his open mouth. The orc tried to bite me like a zombie.

“Crazy..!”

Blood was glistening between the gums. I don’t know what I ate, but I smelled like a rotten corpse.

Kwasik!

He slapped his chin with his palm. The tongue was cut off with an unpleasant sound.

He hit his solar plexus with a subsequent blow. The heart was shattered by the courage.

“Puh-haa…!”

I felt like letting out the breath I had been holding. When I was in danger, I used martial arts without realizing it.

-Klik..! After all, human technology is useful. Why did you hide it all this time?

“Well, it’s worth using. “This is a catch, a catch.”

I looked at the blue orc with trembling eyes.

I knew it. Something happened that I tried to prevent somehow.

Whick!

The blue orc waved her thick hands in the air. He raised his palm upward and extended his fist.

It seemed like I was just imitating the movements, but it was clumsy. It was a gesture more like a child’s play than a martial art.

But that was only for a moment.

Whick! Whick!

I got used to it after just a few gestures. I copied the movements he used just moments ago.

No, rather, it was developed further.

Huh!

A wave of light waves rushed through the raised palm, and the punch even contained a spiral technique.

-Give me more. Human technology is useful.

The blue orc was a monster. After he made an ordinary orc fight with him. He copied the fighting techniques. He used him to learn martial arts.

‘Damn it… I ruined it.’

I lowered my head.

The first day I was trapped here. The orc who saw the fist spat out a fist. He was astonished to see it. He was an incredible genius.

You must not teach martial arts to that monster. If left alone, it will become a disaster for humanity.

As soon as I realized it. All technology was hidden. He extremely refrained from using martial arts.

However, the orcs sent to prison became stronger…

Finally today. I ended up using martial arts without even realizing it.

‘Damn.. If it goes on like this…’

After sucking all the skills from that guy. They will be slaughtered. It was a natural future.

-It’s still not enough. It’s not enough. Give me more, more.

Despair filled the eyes that were shining with greed.

‘It’s all over… There is no way…’

How could he, an ordinary 5-star hunter, know such great martial arts? He just used ordinary fighting skills.

Nevertheless, that orc became infinitely stronger.

There was no hope. That’s when I closed my eyes tightly.

Quaaaaang!

With a roar. Dust fell from the ceiling.

-Kruk?

The blue orc who was looking at the ceiling grinned.

-New food.

Clap!

A while later the monster opens the door and disappears.

Bang! Quaaaaang!

-Those scum-like orcs!

A man’s exciting voice struck my ears. Through the despair, something stuck its head out.

“No way···?”

A sprout that blooms in despair. Its name was hope.

Grumble! Wow!!

Unusual magic waves continued several times. The humming vibration made my skin tremble.

-I am a warrior! Do you think you’ll lose to an orc or something?!

Warrior. I had no idea that there were people in the world these days who would say things like that.

But hearing those words while in prison…

I was so excited that my hair stood on end. I jumped up from my seat.

“Oooh…!”

I even clenched my fists.

‘It doesn’t matter what, please! Please! ‘Save me!’

How earnestly did you pray?

Quang!

The door opened roughly, and a handsome man came in. His dazzling light enveloped him. It followed like a halo.

“Ahhh!!”

Tears welled up. It was difficult to breathe due to the overwhelming emotion.

He is a true warrior.

This is the first hero I’ve ever seen… I was so happy that I wanted to kneel down right away.

When I was looking at him with trembling eyes.

Wow!!

“Uh..?”

The warrior got his ass kicked. The blue orc that followed pushed the warrior.

-Human! What are you doing! Get in quickly!

Clap!

The prison doors closed again.

In a dungeon that felt dead and silent.

He muttered with his mouth open in a daze.

“Were you caught too?”

The handsome young man lowered his head. The back of his neck turned red, as if he was embarrassed.

***

One of the Holy Knights who entered the crypt with Siwoo.

Sigh!

He swung his sword, and the head of the wildcat-like monster flew off.

“Damn monsters. “There are so many of them.”
“Heo, heo… Heo, heo…”

A colleague next to him stumbled.

Actually, they were lucky. It was transferred to a distance close enough for communication, so of course I joined.

But was it worth the price? A horde of monsters attacked them.

“Phew.. How many times was this..?”
“Three times.”

Their shoulders were shaking. I took a deep breath and gathered my magic power.

Caw! Caw!

A roar was heard from the sky. It was similar to the crowing of a crow, but much more annoying to hear.

The sound was so high that it gave me a tingling headache.

“···Here you come again.”
“Under..”

Slurp.

I pulled out the sword I had drawn again. A flock of dozens of monster birds flew in from afar.

How big is it? The closer it got, the bigger it got.

Food!

I realized it when I heard the sound of wings flapping. The monster was bigger than most trucks.

They screeched overhead. It circled around like an eagle hunting for a corpse.

“Haha···”

I forcibly tightened the muscles that were already relaxed. Because I can’t die quietly.

Squirt! Ting!

I hit one feather that flew like an arrow, and that was the beginning.

Tea teating!

Every time they flapped their wings, feathers fell out. It seemed like a shower of blades was falling.

“Tsk.”

The feather that I couldn’t shake off got stuck in my shoulder. Still, they didn’t rush.

Swish!

Only feathers rained down from a distance. Like hunting. It seemed like he was planning to pull out safely.

To be toyed with by a monster or something. I felt dirty.

-Squeak!

“Damn it!”

A colleague cursed in a mocking sound. But there was no way.

Teeting! Tea teating!

When I grit my teeth and hold on.

-Squeak?

Suddenly the whole offensive stopped. A flock of monster birds turned their heads at the same time. Towards beyond the horizon.

“Crazy..”

It was the same with him. My fingertips were shaking slightly from the tension.

Kugugoogung!

I felt a massive wave of magical energy. Much stronger than all the monsters in front of you combined. A monstrous being approached at incredible speed.

Even my will was about to be broken by the overwhelming force. I forcefully grabbed my sword and stopped.

“Could it be…Choi Si-woo?”

My face brightened with a familiar energy.

A human swordsman hired by a saint. It was unreliable at first. The saint’s excessively low posture was also annoying.

But the moment he swung his sword.

All doubts disappeared. Because the ideal slash that I had only vaguely imagined appeared before my eyes.

Such a great prosecutor came.

Quang!

Choi Si-woo fell from the sky and drew his sword.

That was the end.

Suddenly.

A single sword. After the faint sound of cutting, silence finally came.

Kukukuk!

Huge birds fell from the rainwater. Each and every one of them had their heads cut off and were thrown to the ground.

“Her···.”

My jaw dropped at the overwhelming force. To annihilate a flock of monsters with one sword. The saint was a person of great power worthy of extreme respect.

I looked blankly and then came to my senses.

“Ah.. Siwoo! Thank you for saving me!”
“No. For a moment.”

Before we could even speak properly, Choi Si-woo said something.

Coo!

A pillar carved like a totem was driven into the ground.

“···Communication tower? “Did you bring this heavy thing into subspace?”
“Yes. I brought it with me just in case. “Thanks to this, I found you.”

“My goodness… Your preparation is amazing.”

I checked the communication bracelet.

Perhaps thanks to the communication tower, I began to pick up signals from my colleagues. However, the distance between the colleagues was quite far. The closest ones were 20 to 30 kilometers away.

I glanced at Choi Si-woo.

‘How far did you come running from?’

There seemed to be more than one communication tower installed. While I was inwardly admiring him, he said:

“Can I ask you two a favor?”
“Yes? “What kind of request are you asking?”

“We will give you some communication towers, so please install them as far away as possible. I haven’t received the saint’s signal yet. Because I came running from the north. East, please.”

“Oh, if that’s the case, I’ll do whatever I want.”

A colleague who was in full military spirit even saluted and said. He had no intention of refusing either.

“I will do as you say.”

The communication tower was both a repeater and a signal amplifier. The more you install, the more likely you are to contact people far away.

“Thank you. “Then I’ll leave.”

Shhh!

I was amazed when I saw Choi Si-woo leaving. It quickly moved away and became as small as a dot. It was so fast that I couldn’t even see it properly.

‘Shall I go too… Huh?’

I tried to look away but stopped. I narrowed my eyes and looked at Choi Si-woo. Something was strange.

‘It was clear just now..’

It’s a natural thing for humans. The shadow seemed to have momentarily fallen from the body. As if he couldn’t keep up with his owner’s speed.

‘···Did I see it wrong?’

A physically impossible phenomenon. I rubbed my eyes, but couldn’t see them again. Because Choi Si-woo has already disappeared beyond the horizon. It was truly incredible speed.

“What are you doing?”
“Uh···?”

When a colleague next to me tapped me, I came to my senses belatedly.

“Oh, it’s nothing. “I just saw something a little strange.”
“Something weird? “But what?”

“···It’s no big deal. “I think I saw something wrong.”

I spoke hesitantly to my colleague who was staring at me.

“It seemed like his shadow just couldn’t keep up with its owner… So that’s why.”
“What?”

I was embarrassed even to say it with my own mouth. It was so fast that I must have seen it wrong.

Running faster than a shadow. It was nonsense.
