Academy Dropout Is Too Strong

62. meet up (4)

Fireworks are embroidered in the darkened night sky. The elders who presided over the sacrifices on the altar and the religious people around them danced and enjoyed wine and meat.

His face is so full of joy that it is impossible to tell whether he has been saddened before.

Sipping a drink, looking at them.

From nob le mt l. co m

Looking at people with completely different personalities and backgrounds, I think of many things.

The hardships and success of the previous life, the comrades who happened to be attached to, and even the final moments of despair.

When I think of the death of someone close to me, I can’t let go of them happily.

muddying endlessly

I cried in pain, and I screamed while holding my head.

I can’t do that.

I can’t send it comfortably because my stomach is narrow.

Of course, those people won’t be all comfortable, but there will be sadness about a near death and joy that comes from living.

Anyway, yes.

I was grateful to be able to enjoy this place only as an outsider.

I was relieved that someone close to me hadn’t died.

Whether she knew this or not, the Heavenly Demon-nim in the seat next to me hesitated and limped.

“… … Great.”

Somehow, his face is flushed.

There’s no way a guy the size of a thousand horses gets caught up in the horns, so it must be related to the mind rather than the body.

Well, I even closed it to save everyone, but when I came out later, it seemed like I would be embarrassed if everything was over.

Is he thanking me? Or do you think you took away your chance?

I said that I had come to say thanks, but I didn’t think there would be only such feelings.

Now, as a representative with many intertwined relationships, she must be in a position where she has to think a lot.

Indeed, erasing a moment of hesitation, she bowed her head deeply and immediately said:

“First of all, I should say thank you as the head of the Protestant Church who was saved.”

Make eye contact with red eyes.

“thanks. Thank you.”

Long-time comrade and close friend Cheon You-ha said with sincerity, without any hint of shyness.

“Originally, it was supposed to be me, but somehow you knew, and you showed up and saved us instead. As a warrior, I am jealous, but at the same time, I also feel awe.”

A personality that is extremely challenging and not afraid of humiliating defeat.

invincible invincibility.

Blood red hair.

Even the fighting tendency that prioritizes defeating the opponent first rather than taking care of oneself.

One day, a warrior called Gwangcheonma (狂天魔) spoke to me.

“Thank you for saving us. Choi Kang-jun. You are the benefactor of Protestantism and my star.”

A star in the brilliant night sky that helps you find your way to the vast sea of nothingness.

Having said that, Cheon Yu-ha no longer expressed his gratitude as a saved person.

There was only one Moorim man there.

“I will catch up with you someday.”

I look into the eyes filled with strong will.

“Kangjun, I will become much stronger than you.”

A gaze that was more blazing than a fire dragon roaming in the sky soon reached me.

My gaze landed on a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.

They praised me as a star, but the ones who truly became a light for me were the girls who always went ahead of me.

A teacher and close friend who were called geniuses of the century.

In order to catch up with them, I ran like crazy in my previous life.

and reached today

Also, the scenery of tomorrow will be different.

Right now, I am ahead of myself and have not collapsed, but just in case.

The day may come when Chun Yu-ha will be much stronger than he was in his previous life and even stronger than he is now.

From nob le mt l. co m

Likewise, the day could come when the me in the future would be much stronger than the me in the past.

I decided to do my best as a person who is ahead right now.

I spoke to her as a mediocre soldier, or as a senior who had experienced the future.

“Welcome.”

From nob le mt l. co m

Let’s walk side by side for a very long time in this life.

***

The ritual was over in one day.

Besides sending the dead, there were many things to do post-processing, and unless the defense system was fully established, preparations should not be neglected.

Chun Yu-ha, the leader of the new Protestant religion, and the elders were very busy embracing numerous piles of work.

Of course, they are like that, and it has nothing to do with me, an outsider.

It is impossible to stay permanently in Mt. 100,000 in the central plains forever, and the picture is not very good if you try to interfere with every detail rather than just one-time help.

If I continue to devote myself to Shin-gyo and wield it according to my intention, I will surely stand taller than Cheon Yu-ha, the heaven and the highest figure of the religion.

That wasn’t what I wanted, and neither would Chun Yu-ha.

“Kangjun! Come anytime! Protestantism has the intention of recruiting you anytime!”

“Okay, I’ll come again if I don’t get a job later.”

Well, I received a scouting offer, but it was right to leave now if I wasn’t going to be involved at all.

There are people who are waiting for me.

For that reason, I boarded the flying boat with only the machine and the sulking Lucia.

The angel grumbled from time to time as if he didn’t like the fact that he was still focusing on the boundaries of the four weeks.

“… … Sheesh, I wanted to play too.”

New troubles arose.

Anyway, we returned safely to Seondo.

From nob le mt l. co m

Lucia had to assume that her house was on this side anyway since the Whitewings’ nest was on the island, and the iron-clad knight, like me, didn’t seem to have any special base.

So, as soon as we got off the combat unit campus, we each went our separate ways.

I thought as I looked sideways at the back of the armor that was moving away with every step I took.

‘That means he’s a strange guy too.’

Judging from the fact that he entered as a student of Seondo, he must have been young, but he was strong, and although not as good as me, he knew a lot of miscellaneous things.

Seeing that he didn’t know that demons resurrected, it didn’t seem like he had regressed like me, though.

If I had gone through that hell in my previous life, there was no way I wouldn’t remember it.

“But since you’re an ally, I don’t think it matters much.”

Although blunt, I had never heard of someone killing a non-Majin.

Instead, he frantically killed demons, beasts, and renegades… …

Well, not a bad guy.

Sometimes, staring into the void and being startled seemed like something fun to tease.

I nodded my head and started walking towards my destination again.

Since it was vacation, I enjoyed a short break by walking around the quiet campus streets and parks.

After a while, you won’t even have time to catch your breath.

I wasn’t talking about fighting the devil.

There was a hint that that was about to happen, but there was still room for that.

The urgency was not far off.

“Looking at it again, it’s dirty and big.”

Today, too, I looked up at the astonishing student union building made of the stems of the world tree and went inside.

After walking for some time in the corridors of the hall that I had become accustomed to, I saw the vice president’s office right in front of me.

When the door was opened, the original appearance of the neat and monotonous office was revealed.

But today was different.

“It’s finally here.”

Perhaps because the special training room was destroyed the other day, a much larger and well-protected gym suddenly came into view.

In the middle, of course, was Lee Cheong, who was wearing a uniform.

Dressed neater than usual, with her hair tied back, she faced me with a smile as always.

“Hi, I thought you wouldn’t come back until the vacation was over.”

“Ah, I can’t… … .”

“Will I have to pay for cheating for a few days?”

“… … .”

For some reason, Master showed a chilling smile and clenched his fists.

She wouldn’t want to be hit one-sidedly, so I’ll have to fight back too.

… … Maybe?

Believing that, I straightened my posture and clenched my fists just like her.

He raised his whole body.

I don’t think it’s just sparring, but I show my name to fight with all my might.

“Choi Kang-joon.”

I am your opponent.

“… … Ohh.”

It’s something I’ve been doing before, but today, Master’s smile got even thicker.

What is it, why are you doing this?

I’m not a child enough to be nagging me for staying out for a week in a foreign country.

There must be no problem, but somehow it feels like I should be scolded.

“Lee Cheong.”

The master also said his name.

Then, she glared at me as if she were going to kill me, and then she let out a bluish energy in her hand.

fist stretched out

“Waves.”

Ilsoo, which resembles the color of the sea and sky, contains a deep and wide description.

I, her disciple, also faced that fist with a will that was second to none.

yes, as always

Quaang-!

***

During the short vacation period, I worked hand in hand with Master.

Their feet, shoulders, elbows, and other parts of their bodies collided, but it was a series of too violent sparring to express that they mixed their bodies—for mixing them up.

I fought, recovered, and fought again like a real battle.

After spending such a hectic time, the end of summer vacation is already approaching.

─School starts.

The second semester of leadership has begun.
