I protect my students

“Today we will stop here.”

“really? It’s only four o’clock yet.”

“Where are you not feeling well?”

“no. Tomorrow is a holiday, and I got a call saying that my students came to Jeju Island to play, so I’m going to go and see their faces.”

Everyone has a bright expression.

Well, except for the first day, I did a forced march of dealing with 3 portals every day without a day off.

Even today, I processed one in the morning, immediately finished my meal with gimbap and ramen at another portal, and processed one more place.

Of course, he made a lot of money.

There were days when the daily profit exceeded 4,000 to 5,000.

Starting next week, a large number of injured hunters will return, so I think I will be able to relax a bit.

I said goodbye to my teammates and said see you on Monday and returned to the hotel.

“Thanks for your work. Enter carefully.”

“Team leader, don’t you need a car if you go see the students?”

“Oh, it’s not too far, so I’m going to take a taxi.”

I checked the address of the pension run by Uncle Jinsu, and it’s not too far from the hotel.

There is no need for a car because it is okay to use light air instead of a taxi.

“It is inconvenient without a car on Jeju Island. It doesn’t matter because all guild members are covered by insurance anyway. I’m off tomorrow too, so I’ll leave it there. Write if necessary.”

“Ah, thank you.”

If you really need it, I can borrow it, but it’s not polite to refuse to lend it to me.

“It’s nothing. Then see you all on Monday.”

“monday? Yeseul, did you forget that we were supposed to see each other tomorrow?”

“Ah, tomorrow at 10:00 Hwashin Department Store. I remember. Then see you guys tomorrow.”

After talking about shopping earlier, it seems like we decided to go to the department store together tomorrow.

“We’re going to go to an Italian restaurant later, but is Mr. Kang coming over for dinner?”

“Ah yes. Maybe I’ll eat with the kids.”

If you call and say you’re going to barbecue or something, I’ll go buy some meat.

After returning to the hotel room, washing up and getting ready to leave, I called Jinsu.

“Do you need anything to go now?”

-uh? Teacher, didn’t you say you were coming tomorrow?

“Actually, I was in Jeju Island for a long time because of work.”

-Yes? No, then come on Thursday.

“I’m busy so I don’t have time. Shall we go buy something like meat or ramen?”

―We just came out of town.

-Are you a teacher? Teacher, this is Minhee. Are you really from Jeju Island?

-uh? Did you come, teacher?

– Everyone, please be quiet.

“Everyone is full of energy. So, do you want to eat in the city?”

-well. My uncle was on his way out for work, and we stayed at the pension for two days, so we were bored and followed him to see the city. After seeing my uncle’s work, we decided to meet later around 6:00, but since Eunseo is at the pension, I think I’ll go in and eat.

“yes? Why doesn’t Eunseo go with her? Are you sick?”

―She says she has a slight cold because she played in the water for too long yesterday. When we went to the hospital, he said that it was not serious and that he would take medicine and sleep, so we came by ourselves.

“yes. Then call me when you go in later. Anything you need?”

―I finished the chapter on Thursday… . Hey, what do you guys want to eat?

-Sam bought it for you? Teacher, Minhee wants to eat shoots!

“Jinsu, Minhee, where are you sick?”

-Hey. Jeong Min-hee, you ask where Sam is sick. Sir, I think you can just come because I shop a lot on Thursday.

“yes. See you later.”

No matter how good it is, going empty-handed is a bit of a stretch.

It’s not just the kids, it’s because Jinsu’s uncle is there too.

Moderate drinks… Yeah, well, I made a lot of money, but I need to buy some beef.

After leaving the hotel and driving, I stopped at the supermarket first to buy drinks and snacks.

Next, I went to a butcher shop to buy meat, but Korean beef is not cheap.

Everyone knows that they eat very well, so it cost almost 400,000 won to buy 4 geun of sirloin, which was grilled over charcoal and was easy to eat.

I thought about buying imported beef after seeing the price, but since it’s a local butcher’s shop, they don’t handle imported beef, and it’s too far and too cumbersome to go to the mart, so I just bought it.

Still, the boss smiled and gave me a lot of things like tteokgalbi, sausage, green onion, and mushrooms for service.

After loading the meat into the car, I checked the time and it was only five o’clock.

Did you come out too early?

The boss packed it in a Styrofoam box with plenty of ice packs, but since it’s summer, it’s better to go early and put it in the refrigerator.

The kids may not be back yet, but since Eunseo said she was at the pension anyway.

When I put the address of the pension in the navigation, it took 25 minutes.

It looked pretty close when I looked at the map app, but there is a secret distance.

Is it because I was a bit far from the hotel when I went to the butcher shop?

Anyway, I came as the ‘navi’ told me and I was almost there, but suddenly the car was blocked.

Have you ever had an accident before?

Moving at a slow speed like a slug, I was about to get annoyed, but I can finally see ahead. What is it?

There are a lot of soldiers standing there.

The police will crack down on drinking, but has anyone deserted?

Seeing that he was holding a gun, could it be that he was an armed deserter?

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just then, a soldier came and knocked on the window, so the window was rolled down.

“What is it?”

“We are currently controlling this area because one monster escaped while we were raiding a nearby portal. If the cars in front run out, please make a U-turn.”

Did the monster get out?

A certain asshole guild missed a monster… no, wait. Then what about Eunseo?

“there… Mister, then how far do you control it?”

“I know this area is under control, but are you a resident living in the back? Then I would have texted you.”

“It’s not like that, but the party is at the pension over there.”

“We broadcast evacuation and sent disaster text messages to people living in the area and people living in the area based on location information to evacuate, so it will be okay.”

After talking, he left, but since Jin-soo said that Eun-seo fell asleep after taking medicine, there is a possibility that he did not hear it.

She calls Eunseo right away, but she doesn’t answer.

Even if I send a messenger, there is no answer.

It’s fortunate if you can’t receive it because you’re still sleeping, but if you keep sleeping, there may be a problem.

smart-.

“Sir, what are you doing? Aren’t you making a U-turn?”

“The party is in there, but I can’t reach them, so I guess I’ll have to go.”

“Yes? No, sir, there are monsters over there. I can’t go in.”

“This is Hunter.”

He took out his teacher ID from his wallet and showed it.

“No matter how much you are a Hunter, you are not alone, are you? The guy who escaped is not an ordinary guy, so several guilds are dispatching teams to search for him. That’s why there was an instruction not to let even Hunters in.”

Isn’t that more dangerous then?

“What kind of monster is it?”

“I don’t know about that either, but you shouldn’t even be a hunter.”

I got out of the car because I couldn’t talk to this soldier.

“Who is in charge? I will speak directly.”

“no… Sir, this is embarrassing.”

“I’m trying not to get into trouble, so please guide me.”

“Corporal Kim, why don’t you make a U-turn there?”

“Lord, company commander, this person here will keep going inside… .”

“Sigh. Sir, can’t you do this here… uh? Aren’t you Kang Shin-Hyuk Hunter?”

huh? do you know me

“you’re right. how do you… .”

“I saw it on YouTube and heard a lot about it. Sejin is my youngest brother.”

Sejin? who is that… ah! student president?

“That’s right. There, that’s not important right now, but there’s a group of people at a pension in the controlled area. I heard that you fell asleep after taking medicine at lunch, but I can’t reach you right now.”

“Isn’t it because you’re not in a good mood? I broadcast evacuation several times and sent text messages… .”

“I hope so, but I haven’t been able to reach you, so I think I’ll have to go in and take a look. Please help me.”

“ah… Well, the monster that escaped the portal is the Shadow Ripper, so would you be okay alone?”

The Shadow Ripper is a B-class monster with the ability to hide in the shadows.

He carries a huge scythe with his stealth ability, but his stealth ability and armed force are by no means weak.

There is even a saying that if there are ogres in class A, there are Shadow Reapers in class B.

As difficult as he is, he’s quite rare, so I’ve only seen him in books, but never in real life.

“it’s okay.”

Even if you say it’s picky, it’s a B-class monster after all.

you can’t be my opponent

“All right. Guys, since this person is fine, remove the barricade and open the road.”

Did the student president tell me that I sparred with the vice principal?

Anyway, I was worried that I would say no, but I’m really glad. I said thank you and went back to the car.

Come to think of it, since Eunseo appears in the original work, it doesn’t seem like anything special, but just in case.

The actions I took after coming here may have caused the butterfly effect.

I stepped on the accelerator thinking that it would be okay if nothing happened.

I keep my students.

* * *

I woke up and the house was quiet.

He said he was going to the city with Jinsu’s uncle after lunch earlier, but he hasn’t come back yet?

If the medicine is working, it seems to be a little better than in the morning.

After drinking a glass of water, I went back to my room and turned on my phone… uh?

[(Jeju Special Self-Governing Province)

real situation. A monster escaped from the Iho Tewoo Beach portal. Residents near the beach and Iho-dong are advised to immediately evacuate to designated shelters or outside the control line. Controlled area and shelter location link: https:.j11.kr/abcd]

what… Monster Escape?

Now that I see it, there are missed calls from my sister, Jinsu, and Minhee, and a call from the teacher.

I was thinking of contacting them, but I thought going to the shelter first, so I checked the location on the link and came out, but there was no one on the street.

It’s not dark because the sun hasn’t set yet, but there are no cars and no people, so it’s eerie.

“excuse me.”

I was startled and turned around, but no one was there.

“Sister, here you are. If you are going to the shelter, can you go with me?”

Looking to the side, I see a girl standing on the veranda on the second floor of the villa.

He looks like a middle school student, but next to him is a boy who looks like his younger brother or about five years old.

Those kids must have checked the text messages later, just like me.

I’ll go with you, so I tell you to come down and head towards the entrance, huh?

I see a tall man, probably over two meters, wearing a black robe and holding a scythe in one hand.

At first, I thought it was a hunter and tried to approach him, but quickly hid behind a telephone pole next to him.

Look again, that’s not a person.

If you don’t know, you have to stand on the ground with both feet, but that’s because there are no feet.

If it’s a sickle with a black robe… My God, was the monster that escaped the Shadow Ripper?

Luckily I didn’t get caught, but the kids will be down soon.

“Kyaaah!”

thud! thud!

As the children who came down screamed at the sight of the Shadow Ripper, the Shadow Ripper tried to break down the door.

I could have gone back into the house, but even then I don’t think I’ll last long… .

What do we do?

Of course, I didn’t get caught, so if I ran away and reported it, I might be able to live, but if I do that, those kids… will die

Shadow Ripper is a very strong monster that competes for the top rank among B-rank monsters.

B-rank hunters are also monsters that many people hunt together, but now I’m just a first year hunter school, so I can’t even begin.

Besides, I don’t have any weapons right now.

Well, even if there was, it wouldn’t change anything… .

I’m sorry to the kids, but I can’t help it because I didn’t know them before, and I saw them for the first time today.

Because I don’t want to die here

If I get beaten anyway, the next turn will be the children.

I tried to step back while rationalizing myself, but my steps did not fall.

Suddenly, the memory of the day before vacation comes to mind.

The teacher asked us a question, saying thank you for following us well during the first semester and asking us to take good care of you in the second semester as well.

Why do you want to become a Hunter?

He told me to talk to each other one by one, since he couldn’t have just come for no reason just because he had talent.

Because Hunter makes a lot of money. Many answers came out, such as because I’m cool, because my family is also a hunter, but I got worried as my turn approached.

Like the teacher said, when I took the qualification test, I came out with talent, and my sister said she would go to the Hunter School, so I entered the school.

After thinking about it, it was the older sister’s turn next to me, but she replied that it was because of me.

He said that he wanted to become a hunter while watching a documentary about people who lost their families to monsters when they were young, and that I wanted to help prevent such victims from happening.

I don’t even remember myself, but my sister thought I was cool and decided to become a hunter to help and protect me.

After all, I can’t run away alone like this.

The teacher teased my sister for having a ‘sister complex’, but she complimented me saying that I was cool, saying that I was Eunseo.

If I run away like this, I will have no face seeing my sister who followed me to the hunter school or the teacher who praised me again.

I haven’t heard of the speed of the Shadow Ripper, and when it comes to running, I’m pretty confident that I canter throughout the first semester.

Even if I can’t deal with him directly, if I drag ‘aggro’ and take him to the shelter, there will be hunters in the shelter, so maybe something will work out.

At that moment, he saw a stone that had fallen on the floor, picked it up and threw it at the Shadow Ripper.

puck-!

When I was lucky enough to hit it, he turned his head and looked at me.

“Guys, don’t come out, go inside, lock the door and hide!”

He may have already run away, but he shouted loudly just in case.

As I watched him begin to move toward me, I felt my nerves completely focused on me, so I immediately turned my back.

I was worried that I might go back to the place where the children were, so I checked the back halfway through, but fortunately, he kept chasing me.

I didn’t know that Gubo, who I hated the most, would be helpful in this way.

I was getting short of breath, but I looked back to check again… uh?

no guy

The moment I thought I was going to the children again, the guy jumped out of the shadow of the tree next to me.

thud-!

Feeling strange, I rolled to the side to avoid it, but the ground where I had just been dug a handful.

I quickly got back up and tried to run away, but my legs were weak.

ruined.

I think I sprained my ankle while rolling and dodging.

Kirat rat!

As if he knew that I couldn’t stand up, he slowly approached me with his red eyes shining.

Thinking that it was all over, I closed my eyes involuntarily.

Booung-.

thud!

… uh? I could hear scythe swinging and even hitting it, but for some reason I couldn’t feel any pain.

The moment you think that death is like this, you hear a very familiar voice.

“Seo Eun-seo, did you teach me to close my eyes when dealing with monsters?”
