Chapter 196 – I Don’t Want to Know

The bowl does not break easily.

For this reason, it was natural that it would be extremely difficult to build a floodgate on a larger, stronger bank. That’s why there has been no progress in the floodgates since the fight with Enisha.

Since the path that can be penetrated immediately is limited, it was only natural that the gaze would naturally go elsewhere. Out of the options available right away, what I am most confident about and what I have been learning for a long time is weapon skills, including ‘spearmanship’. Now that time has passed, the thing I am most confident in is naturally bound to be that.

Because of this, I am confident in my skills.

Because I haven’t spent a lot of time in vain.

However.

“Keek-keek…”

The monster in front of me is strong.

It’s not as much as that sewer, but if I wasn’t here, everyone in the back would have been killed in one blow. This is not an estimate, it is more of a certainty. If it was Han Ye-rin, she would endure a little, but that’s it.

My fingertips are numb.

I have a reason why I can’t back down. The guys in the back are a bit sloppy in a human way, but aren’t they the same person?

I came to the academy gnashing my teeth in revenge for my father, but since I am a ‘knight’, I can’t stand to see people die. That’s why he attracted people and claimed to be a leader. That’s why I decided to go to the auditorium after finding the three who had run away on their own. That’s why Siyoon Choi went to the brink of committing suicide and stayed still even when he forced himself to fuck me.

Blood boils.

The water wasn’t full enough for the dam to collapse, the mana was limited, and there were plenty of people to protect.

If I step back, everyone dies.

It means that the lives of 14 people depend on me.

“Geek-geek-“

The mood changed.

His body trembled with anger, bubbles bubbled up on his back, his eyes were full of glare, and bark sprouted from his skin to add armor.

The body swelled up, bringing the ceiling closer to the back, and the crab legs suddenly protruded from the back. The bumpy thorns grow on and around the arms, and the belly, which was bleeding profusely, seems to have healed in the meantime, leaving only a long scar.

“Han Yerin.”

“…”

“Don’t think about interfering, protect them from behind. Gather all the magic you have and set up a barrier.”

“…I understand.”

Han Ye-rin unfolds her defense magic without saying anything. She’s like this, even if she shows a gap, she doesn’t attack straight away, she just seems to have an ego, she feels indescribable. She is like a swordsman who gives and takes several sums and gauges her strength.

Like a human

Or, like Seol-ah, I feel a distinct ego. A knight with a sword, not a monster.

“…”

At the end of a little silence, the attitude flashes.

“…!”

A blade full of her flesh passes the tip of her nose and shatters her side window.

“Aww!”
“The wall has blown!!”
“Blood, blood, blood!!”

The students back away from the wall that splits. Holding the greatsword with one hand, with her free hand, she quickly wrapped around the magic formula and applied adhesion magic to the legs of the crab.

‘Fuck.’

She tries to use magnet magic when she sees that she is slowly releasing it by force. He already had very little mana, but he couldn’t waste it on such useless magic.

I have no choice but to hit it with my body.

She gritted her teeth and crossed swords heartily.

“Gyaaa- Gyaa-“

Blue crabs run amok with their attitude. Two swords approach, one head and the other leg, forcing me to retreat. I amplified the strengthening magic lightly wrapped around my body at once, dodge the one that came to my legs, and then hit the one that flew towards my head with my sword.

Crunchy-

At the overwhelming power, the teeth of the attitude fell, and the arms were pushed backwards with a roar. The monster’s posture was disturbed. When the body is floating, quickly cast floating magic to increase the flight time, and with defense magic on the head, cast explosion magic on top to rotate the body forward.

Waterwheel.

Also, a very fast waterwheel hits the head of a blue crab. No, I was trying to price it.

“Kyaa, kyaa!!”

The monster is flustered and raises its attitude despite its disheveled posture to block the greatsword. With a roar that was incomparably louder than before-

Attitude is cut in half.

“What?”

I was taken aback as I looked at the monster’s dismembered attitude in a bewildered manner.

Immediately release the floatation magic and cast an explosion magic above the head to drastically reduce the flight time. The feet touch the floor straight away. The shock caused her legs to curl up, and the explosion rained plaster-tax over her head.

The legs folded like a frog release the extremely condensed leg power at once, and it jumps out at the monster in front of its eyes.

“Huh!”

If the enemy has an ego. If you have the skills, and if you have the brain to judge.

You don’t even have to give them time to respond.

“Keek-“

The monster screamed in agony and its body was cut in half.

As if it was a lie, the blue crab whose central core was cut in half collapsed into the hallway. A long series of stab wounds crossed the monster and reached the wall, splitting the middle of the corridor in half.

“Whoa…”

I hurriedly canceled all magic formulas, including acceleration, and brushed the charms I had drawn on my forehead with the back of my hand. Killed the monster I sighed in relief and looked back, and the students stared at me with their eyes wide open.

“Eh, did you win…?”
“In that moment?”
“Uh, how…?”
“Ha ha… Ha… Sa, lived.”

Everyone breathes a sigh of relief as if they have come back to life. Some looked at me and the corpse of the monster in disbelief, while some worried about me and checked my body to see if there were any injuries.

“Master… No, it’s Taeho. I have a restraint magic…”

Han Ye-rin expresses her regret, saying that she can help her too.

‘What am I going to do next?’

The binding magic works, but it’s just a waste for now. Once you use it properly, it’s an immediate retirement, so it makes sense to save it for future use.

“Han Ye-rin, you lead two or three of them and go into the bathroom over there. It might be there.”

Han Ye-rin nodded her head saying that she understood. She gets a little dizzy from the acceleration magic and strengthening magic that she drew in an instant, but it’s not to the extent that she can’t stand it at all.

“I found it!”
“Hurry, come quickly…!”

Han Ye-rin and two of her students enter the bathroom and find Han Chul-min and Go Ha-min, who had fled.

“Are there any more?”

“Yes, yes! No more.”

Ye-rin Han drags them out with magic. She was so frightened that her face was pale and drained of blood, and her hands and legs were restless.

“Let’s go.”

When I give the order, the students move in perfect order.

Did I see it right?

The class president was embarrassed. No, since she came to the academy today, there has been nothing embarrassing.

It was embarrassing that the medium-danger monsters suddenly let go of their mimicry, it was embarrassing that the professor ran away as soon as the incident happened, and it was embarrassing that they gathered around Kim Tae-ho.

Routine has turned into non-routine.

I just followed my mother’s words and entered the academy, which is said to be entered by family generation after generation…! Who would have known that something like this would happen?

“Haha…”

Everyone was crazy.

After the hot air blower turned into a monster, all the cadets were busy running away, forgetting that they were ‘preliminary knights’. Some students urinated in fear. Then.

‘Everyone stay still!!’

Taeho Kim shouted. His body, stiffened by his fear, loosened.

Kim Tae-ho took the place of the professor who had already run away and took the lead. Then, stabbing the hot air monster with a spear and killing it, he became the center of the group and made him take up arms and repulse the monsters.

Then, when he saw Kim Tae-ho, who had even defeated the blue crab monster, he was convinced.

‘If Kim Tae-ho hadn’t been here…’

He is dead.

All, all, all.

Although the class president was terrified by the fact, he stroked his chest in relief. At least if Kim Tae-ho was there, he would not be in danger of dying.

It was not an expectation, but a certainty. He doesn’t die never.

There were no more students who threw up even though he was ‘from the common people’. Again, a sense of awe rose.

He is a ‘real knight’ who appeared among the lesser ‘preliminary knights’.

Looking around, everyone was staring at Kim Tae-ho, probably thinking the same thing. There are very few people who can be relied on in times of crisis. Now that the professor has run away, the only person he can rely on is Kim Tae-ho.

“Let’s go.”

When Kim Tae-ho says a word, the dumbfounded students move in perfect order. The strongest monster had fallen, so the next one was swift.

Afterwards, he met a little blonde girl who looked like a bully and literally started ‘slaughtering’ the monster in front of her.

‘Senior, senior! Is this the central core?!’
‘Oh… That’s right, wait a minute. Did you pull that out?’
‘Put in the mugwort and then poop! I was chosen because I did it?’
‘Huh…’

There were also many scenes where I doubted my eyes. He felt the prickly gaze of the daughter of the chairman of the Null Group behind his back, but Kim Tae-ho ignored it.

‘Joo Hyuk! What are you doing here?!’
‘Ahh!! Ahh… Please, stop…!’
‘It’s okay because it’s not a monster! Are you okay! It’s okay!’
‘Stop…Don’t…’
‘It’s okay because I’m here to save you!’
‘Whoa… Whoa…’

Kim Tae-ho was frantic about finding a junior who was Seok Ju-hyuk. When I scratched his head, he kept asking ‘Where are you?’ Every 3 seconds, so it didn’t take long for him to focus his attention on finding it.

He was full of fear and was on the verge of going mad.

His pants were full of the strong smell of ammonia.

At first, the class president held back a slight laugh at the same reaction as ours.

After rescuing the students who were unable to do anything because they were trapped in the classroom due to monsters, the number of students doubled and tripled before they knew it. Not only students, but also professors, about one level of people gathered.

‘Arin?’
‘I just moved to find it, but it was right in front of me.’
‘What about Seol-ah? How are you?’
‘There is no reaction. He’s unconscious.’
‘…’

When Kim Tae-ho tied up Seok Joo-hyeok and entered the auditorium, the professors welcomed us.

‘I’m glad everyone came back unscathed!’
‘Additional troops are coming to the academy, so you can rest here until then.’

Sweating profusely, the professors were guiding the students. Among the dogs, there was ‘that professor’ who ran away first in our class, so naturally the expression of the class president and the students around him became rotten.

After the situation is over, we will properly investigate.

It was the moment when professors were included in the generational change.

I look at Seol-ah’s condition with anxiety.

Laying on Socheon-sunbae’s lap, it seemed comfortable to look at. The fact that I was unconscious made me anxious.

“Senior Socheon. What happened?”

“I don’t know… I’ve touched it, but there’s no particular fever, and there’s nothing wrong with the body. I’ve checked it with artifacts, but there’s nothing special about it…”

Socheon-sunbae tells everything he knows in a slightly trembling voice. Ia Lin, who was next to her, also helped.

“It felt like the computer was turned off. She just passed out after sending that one text.”

“Ah, that’s right. Sometimes I frowned as if I was nervous. Other than that, there’s nothing else…”

Both of them couldn’t hide their embarrassment. Senior Socheon puts on an anxious expression and strokes Seol-Ah’s head.

“…The only thing I could do was protect Seol-ah’s surroundings.”

“Because as soon as Seol-ah fell down, I grabbed half of her and went down after karma?

“…”

I don’t know why or what.

‘Could it be because of that gaze?’

If it was Seol-Ah, the consciousness barrier would be enough. No, it’s not enough, I’ll be strong. It’s a castle that never collapses… It’s changed like this. Also, since Seol-ah was a ‘great mage’ prior to being a monster, there could be no problem from within. Either way, she’ll heal right away.

Attacked from outside.

The suspect was obviously nothing other than ‘that gaze’. Because of the unidentified gaze, Seol-ah fell into unconsciousness, and the medium-danger monster shocked her to wake up at once.

‘…How?’

Who the hell

Are you saying that’s possible?

“…”

Feel a creepy feeling

A wizard among wizards. Enough to make a monster capable of destroying East Asia singlehandedly fall into a pit of unconsciousness – and if that’s the case with a mere ‘gaze’ alone. How.

How strong are you?

My heart trembles with indescribable emotions. If I wipe my sweaty forehead with the palm of my hand…

Seol-ah wakes up.

“…Ah.”

“…Should I stand up?!”
“Seniors!?”
“Awake! Wake up! Is it okay to stand up? Are you okay?”
“Cold sweat…”
“Are you okay?!”

Seol-Ah trembles with his body and makes a look of terror. Like a person who died and came back to life. He breathes heavily as if he is afraid of being carried by senior Socheon.

“Haa… Haa…! Haa…!”

“Should I stand? Are you okay…?”

“I saw it…! I shouldn’t have seen it, I saw it, I saw it…!”

Now he looks like he’s about to cry.

“Bo, did you see it?”

“Ah no! Ha ha… Ha ha! No, no no… I want to forget again, again, let me forget.”

“…What?”

Seol-ah covers her face with her hands and pours out her tears. Embarrassed, senior Socheon hugs Seol-ah and somehow tries to reassure her that she’s okay, but she doesn’t have much effect.

“I like it now, I like it now, I like it now, it’s not me, I don’t know that kind of person, I don’t want to know it, I shouldn’t know it, I want to be with Taeho…!”

“Senior Socheon.”

“Ah Okay!”

She hurries to change her seat. She hugs Seol-ah from behind and stays still until her seizures subside.

“It’s okay… It’s okay, huh? You have to stand up…!”

As I hug Seol-ah, her movements slowly begin to diminish.

“I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know, ah…!”

“I have to stand…!”

Seol-ah struggles with her whole body.

“Ah.”

Eye contact with me

“I wasn’t running away…”

“What?”

Pick.

Seol-ah collapses.
