[Near destination. Stop the guidance.]

Arrived at the pension.

Called the whole time, but no answer.

The gate was locked, but he easily jumped over the wall and entered.

smart-.

“Eunseo, are you inside?”

No answer.

I tried calling again, but I can’t even hear the ringing.

After looking around, they luckily find a window open and enter the pension, but no one is there.

Did you go to the shelter after hearing the broadcast?

I feel like I’m making a fuss for no reason, so I’m a bit depressed, but a cup with some water on the table catches my eye.

If it was at room temperature because it was summer, it would be normal for it to be lukewarm, but it is still cold.

Did you get up and check it belatedly and go to the shelter?

I didn’t see any people or cars the whole time… Rather, it may be more dangerous.

I immediately searched the Internet to find out the location of the shelter and left the pension.

I inadvertently got into the car and got out again.

If you move by car, you might pass each other.

I spread my energy while moving in the direction of the shelter, but nothing caught me.

As I continued to spread my energy while walking, I felt a living body in my senses.

I ran at full speed and found the villa almost half destroyed and two children lying on the inside.

When I got closer, it seemed that he was unharmed and passed out. Judging by the state of the gate, it’s the work of monsters, so why are these kids fine?

“Ugh… .”

“Are you feeling better?”

“Uncle who… ? Are you a Hunter?”

“Yes, Hunter. there… Haven’t you seen a sister who looks like this?”

Just in case, I took out my phone and pointed to Eunseo at the group photo taken during the vacation ceremony and asked.

“saw. I saw this sister and asked to go to the shelter together, but suddenly a monster appeared and blocked the door… .”

“So how did it go?”

“I think that sister lured the monster away.”

Sigh… Going crazy.

“which way… No, hurry up and take your brother and go home.”

I can roughly guess what he would do.

Eunseo is an excellent student.

He probably didn’t know that he couldn’t deal with the B-rank monster, the Shadow Ripper, so he must have tried to lure him towards the shelter where the hunters were.

I raised my energy to the maximum and ran towards the shelter.

thud-!

I heard a loud noise nearby, so I ran towards it and saw a monster wearing a black cloak holding a scythe and Eunseo lying on the floor.

The monster is slowly approaching Eunseo… Eunseo, you should get up quickly and think about avoiding it, so you close your eyes as if you gave up.

It seemed that he was trying to swing a scythe at Eun-seo, so he raised the divine law to the extreme.

thud-!

Fortunately, I intervened and blocked the scythe he was wielding.

I managed to block it, but I felt a considerable shock in my hand.

Now I see that the tip of my finger is slightly cut and bleeding.

I sent my energy to the hand side while blocking it, but it seems to have been cut because it was not delivered properly because there was no room.

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

“west… Teacher?”

“Get up and get out of here!”

“That leg is sprained… .”

Kirat! Kirat rat!

He roared and swung his scythe once again.

thud-!

Eun-seo pushed her back with her foot and stepped on her footsteps to avoid it.

The asphalt at the location where it attacked cracked and the ground dented, with considerable power.

Even if I had a little less energy from before, my hand might have been cut off instead of a slight cut.

He was the one who ran away from the portal in the first place, and I heard that the Shadow Ripper itself is highly intelligent, so I thought that he could run away, but he has no sign of that at all.

I think he thought it was worth it after seeing me bleed, but he was mistaken, you bastard!

Even though there is no black, it doesn’t matter.

Because Master always said it was an extension of the black hand.

Keeping an eye on him, I raised my energy and focused on my hands.

A blue aura rippled through the entire right hand, and it wrapped around the hand perfectly.

If you know how to make a sword, you can of course take it.

Kirat? Kirarat!

Perhaps feeling the energy contained in the lecture, he rushed toward the Shadow Ripper, who looked puzzled.

He lifted his scythe to try to stop it, but he couldn’t.

Jjeouk-.

I cut his body in half with the scythe to stop it.

I always felt a bit strange when I used my hand after using a sword because it felt so vivid, but he died without even screaming.

I approached the corpse and confirmed that it was dead, and immediately went to Eun-seo.

“Seo Eun-seo, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine, but the teacher’s hand… .”

The wound is not that big, but it seems to think that it is very injured because it moves and bleeds quite a lot.

“Oh, it was just a little bit. This is nothing, so don’t worry, are you really okay?”

“I’m really fine… .”

It was really just a slight cut, so I roughly rubbed it on my clothes and showed that it was fine, but tears are still running in his eyes.

“Because it’s nothing. I’m hurt, but why are you crying? And, this guy! Do you know if you messed up, you almost died? Why did you lure the monster!”

I met the children earlier and knew the situation roughly, but this is not really true.

“No, that… I was on my way to the shelter when a monster tried to attack the children… .”

“Doing good is good, and helping others is good. But what good is it if you die?”

“But the teacher saved you.”

The answer is… . When I see Eunseo answering with a shy smile, I sigh.

“What would have happened if I had been a little late? Anyway, if you can’t speak… . Hang in there. I’ll report that I caught a monster, so if someone comes, let’s go to the hospital.”

“Yes? No, it’s not that severe.”

“It’s not too bad, I can’t even get up. I have to go to the hospital.”

Anyway, being too nice is a problem.

But where should I call?

After thinking about it for a while, I thought that if I called the police, they would take action on their own, so I called 112 and informed them that I had caught the monster.

Soon after, sirens sounded and several cars arrived in the alley.

There were not only police cars, but also military trucks and general vehicles. Looking at the clothes of the people getting off, it seems that the hunters who were searching for them also came.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw the Shadow Ripper split in half, but he approached and revealed that he was the reporter and explained.

“You are so wonderful. Which guild do you belong to?”

“Oh, I’m working as a teacher at the Hunter School, not a guild.”

I took out my ID and showed it to him and asked if I could go to the hospital first.

“A hospital? where did you get hurt… uh? Then I saw blood on my clothes… Are you seriously hurt?”

“no. I’m not a big deal, but my student injured his leg while luring a monster. Ah, the children who encountered the monsters I mentioned earlier were unscathed when I checked them, but just in case, please check them.”

* * *

“Is this right?”

“Yes. you’re right. thank you.”

“It’s nothing. Rather, we are more grateful. If you hadn’t taken care of the Shadow Reaper, we would have been on the move for days. As a Jeju citizen, I am very grateful.”

He said he gets tired of hearing compliments over and over again. At the Joint Headquarters earlier, I had heard that all along, so I wasn’t particularly impressed anymore, so I said goodbye and got out of the car.

First, Eun-seo was sent to the hospital in a police car, and I followed the soldiers to the Joint Countermeasures Headquarters… ? Anyway, I was caught for almost an hour in a place full of soldiers and hunters.

Of course, in reality, I didn’t commit a crime, so it’s kind of hard to say that I was caught, but at first I went to the colonel who was in charge of the unit and explained it, then the governor, and then the guild leader who missed the monster… .

What happens when everyone gathers and listens at once?

After a little explanation, it was too annoying for a new person to repeat what he said over and over again.

After all, I am also injured.

And it didn’t just explain, it also took some time to talk about compensation.

The guild that missed the monster said they would pay for the Shadow Ripper corpse as well as a reward.

The provincial governor also said that he would consider something like a righteous person (?), but the bounty is welcome, but the righteous person is not very appealing.

Since the incident is an incident, of course it will be reported, but if you receive an award like that, it will make things bigger.

I said that I didn’t want my personal information exposed to the media, and I heard the answer that I would know, but I’m not sure if they would really listen.

I didn’t want to stand out because I didn’t know what to do at Antas… .

The world won’t leave me alone

After the story, Dae-seo gave her a ride to her destination and was going to go to the hospital where Eun-seo went, but when she called, they said she had already been discharged after treatment. I was going to go to the hotel, but the car was at the pension, so I came here.

When I pressed the bell next to the gate, a man came out, and he was Jinsu.

“uh? Sir! You said you were being investigated, but is it over now?”

“What kind of investigation do you take? Am I a criminal, you bastard? I came here to explain the circumstances.”

“Isn’t that what it is?”

“Ugh, that’s it. How is Eunseo?”

“I had a little stretched ligament, but now I’m fine with treatment. There was nothing wrong with the children who came with me, so I just checked them out and their parents came and took them away.”

“children? ah… They must have come to this hospital too.”

When I followed Jin-su inside, I saw a man and woman in their mid-40s in the yard lighting a drum.

“Sir, this is my uncle and aunt. You are our school teacher, the one who saved the silver book earlier.”

“Hello, my name is Shinhyuk Kang.”

“Oh, welcome. He is the one who becomes Jinsu’s uncle.”

“My kids say that I am handsome, and as I have heard, he is really handsome. Aren’t the kids not studying and only looking at the teacher’s face?”

“Yes? hahahaha. It is too much praise.”

“Isn’t it before dinner? We have just arrived and are preparing to eat, so please wait a little bit.”

“Look at me, everyone. The teacher is here.”

Jin-soo shouted, and the sound of footsteps sounded and the children came out.

“wow! He is a real teacher.”

“Sir, I missed you!”

“I didn’t really want to see you. Eunseo, is it okay for you to walk around like that?”

“I was treated with healing magic. it’s okay.”

“Have you contacted your parents?”

“Ah, that… If I tell you, I’m afraid you’ll ask me to come back… .”

After all, a child is a child.

“I still need to contact you.”

“I’m fine, but I think you’re worried. I will go back and tell you.”

“Ugh, yes. You were lucky this time, so you can’t do that next time.”

“right. Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard the story?”

Eunsoo helped out. Eun-soo, who has always been on her brother’s side, doesn’t seem to be like that this time around.

“sorry. And teacher, I couldn’t greet you properly earlier, but thank you for saving me.”

“Of course, what… . Thank you, and no matter what happens in the future, act as if your life is your number one priority.”

“Yes.”

“It’s almost ready, so everyone wash your hands and come sit down. Please wash your hands and sit down.”

Dinner is BBQ… ah! Come to think of it, the beef I bought earlier is still in the car.

“Jinsu, follow me for a moment.”

“Yes?”

Since it was summer, I was worried about what to do if it went bad, but the owner of the butcher shop put a lot of refrigerant in it and packed it carefully, so I think it’s okay that it’s still cold.

“Teacher, you said you could just come, so what did you buy so many?”

“Anyway, it’s not polite to come empty-handed. I’ll take this, so Jinsu, take the drinks and snacks there.”

“What is that? is it meat? They have a lot of meat.”

“You said you want to eat beef?”

When I returned home with the beef, the kids went wild.

My uncle and his wife also liked it, and when I told them that it was Korean beef, Min-hee made a short sound like before and showed off a nasty aegyo, and I was afraid to take it back, but I put up with it.

“It’s beef, so it cooks quickly. Eat quickly.”

“It is so soft. The black pork was delicious, but the meat is beef!”

“It melts in your mouth.”

“Hey, Lee Jin-soo! Eat one of you.”

“There are a lot of them, so eat slowly.”

“Mr. Kang, are you drinking?”

“Oh, I like it, but I brought tea so I can drink… .”

To be honest, it’s enough to blow off alcohol with my own energy, but I’ll think badly if I get behind the wheel anyway.

You can explain it, but you can think of it as an excuse and it’s annoying.

“Yes? Weren’t you staying overnight? There are many rooms, so let’s stay.”

“Teacher said you would be off tomorrow. Go to sleep.”

“that’s right. You said you were going to the beach with us tomorrow anyway. We also play board games later.”

“Let’s stay.”

“Then it seems to be too much of a nuisance… .”

“It’s a waste of money. Today, I ate Korean beef the teacher bought. Absolutely not, so stay and go.”

It’s not far from the hotel, but I replied that I would be bothered to come back tomorrow.

Not to mention the taste of the meat, and the sea breeze blows coolly.

Eating delicious food while talking with students I haven’t seen in a while in a good atmosphere makes me feel healed.

After dinner, the children played board games.

I also played games like Blue Marble, One Card and Catch a Thief because there was a trump card.

“It’s 12 o’clock soon. Let’s go in and sleep.”

“Ah, sir, you never lost. Just one more game.”

The kids are so innocent that their expressions show through, so you have to be tired of catching thieves to lose.

“Teachers don’t support me. And you guys, aren’t you going to the sea tomorrow?”

Leaving behind the children shouting ‘One more game’, I entered the annex given to me by Uncle Jinsu.

The bed is wide and the duvet smells good, so it seems that they pay a lot of attention to maintenance.

As I lay down on the bed, I felt exhausted and immediately closed my eyes.

Up until this point, I had absolutely no idea.

Today’s work, which I thought was over well, develops into an absurd situation.
