38. Meeting of Old Disciple and New Disciple (2)

Helmund Academy Practical Magic Beginner class students heading to the gate.

Among them, Siyeon Kim spoke.

“Last time, something big was about to happen, but this time you told me to go into the dungeon again? If there is a really big accident like this, I don’t understand what you’re going to do.”

Seulgi Yoon replied.

“I think the same… I don’t know why instructor Yang Han-gil is pushing us so far… It’s not like we did anything wrong…”

Unaware of the vows made by Yang Han-gil and Choi Joo-won, they naturally questioned Yang Han-gil’s pathological behavior. The fundamental question is: Why in the world are you hanging on to the growth of your disciples like you are on the Yanghan Road?

But in the end they couldn’t find an answer.

Haru Lee said to Baek Hyun-seo in the corner.

“Hyunseo, are you okay?”

Baekhyun-seo’s complexion turned pale, and his body was shaking. In the previous dungeon exploration, Baek Hyeon-seo fell into a panic state, and as a result, he was attacked by goblins as well as various other monsters.

Of course, no matter how beginner class, it is difficult to imagine that dozens of different wizards would only get hurt in a C-class dungeon. In fact, they cleared the dungeon without much damage and came out. However, just because they cleared it didn’t mean they weren’t traumatized.

Exploration conducted without a guardian is not strange, no matter how or when someone dies. This has nothing to do with magic skills. In fact, even wizards with excellent skills often die in vain while exploring dungeons.

A place where even if you do 100 well, if you make one mistake, you can die. That’s the dungeon at the gate. Until now, they have only conducted safe exploration under Choi Joo-won’s protection. Joo-won Choi was at the forefront, and even if a crisis occurred, Joo-won Choi quickly protected them.

threat to survival.

Fundamentally, in the past, they had never felt threatened with their lives, even if they entered the dungeon several times. But not now.

Baekhyun-seo trembled and talked.

“De… I don’t want to go in… I’m scared…”

Kim Si-yeon comforted me from the side.

“But you have to go in… If you don’t go in, you don’t know what Yang Han-gil will do. If you do as well as last time, you will be able to come back this time without any problems. I’m scared too… because there’s no way.”

Yoon Seulgi quietly opened his mouth.

“But this time around, other guilds are nearby, so it might be a little better… Maybe they’ll help us in case we are in danger.”

“right. Last time we were completely alone, but this time with another guild. I don’t know who they are yet, but just being with another group gives me a bit of a sense of security.”

The road to the gate.

Choi Joo-won talked to his disciples.

“We will get to the gate soon. The grade of the dungeon measured at the gate is grade C. It’s natural, but I don’t think it’s even a warm-up level for you. But just in case you don’t know, don’t slow down.”

Park Hye-yeon asked Choi Joo-won.

“Can you become stronger by entering the dungeon?”

“You sound natural. The monsters in the dungeon all have magical powers to varying degrees. And the creatures that use magic become more powerful as the level increases. Matching against strong opponents not only raises basic combat abilities, but also allows you to quickly respond to various unexpected situations.”

“More than anything else, a dungeon is a space with various terrain conditions. If you use magic only in a place where buildings are dense like a city, but use it in a variety of places such as swamps, deserts, and forests, there is a significant increase in usability.”

“Did you receive a lot of help from dungeons as you grew up?”

“Of course, I also received a lot of help from the dungeon when I first developed my strength. It is now possible to clear A-class dungeons alone, but in the past, I almost died countless times in D-class dungeons.”

“I can not believe it. You are one of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. Maybe more than the man I have to take revenge on. But is that possible through hard work and not talent?”

“Tell me honestly. I can’t say I didn’t have talent. Some people use the same methods I did, and even if they learn to do it, they may not reach my level even after decades.”

Joo-won Choi said, pointing to Hye-yeon Park.

“But at least you have more talent than me. If you have time, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to grow up like me.”

Park Hye-yeon hardened her face with a determined expression and nodded her head.

Kang Eun-byeol sneaked up to me and whispered.

“I… Masked instructor. It’s a bit odd to ask such a question now, but why on earth do the disciples practice so recklessly?”

Kang Eun-byeol made an expression that seemed to be incomprehensible. It is natural. Because Kang Eun-byeol made no effort to listen to my lectures. Without competing with tens of thousands of people, she was parachuted because she was the daughter of the president of the Hunter Association.

Above all, Kang Eun-byul has no one to take revenge on. That’s why I didn’t even apply SSS-level buffs to Kang Eun-byeol, and didn’t even give me a circle break. Literally, Kang Eun-byeol is really taking ‘general’ lectures from me.

But others are different. When I selected four disciples as a part, I filtered out those with clear motives. Among the more than 30,000 people, he primarily filtered out those who were capable, and among them, only those who had a strong motive were selected as disciples. In the end, except for Kang Eun-byul, there are four people left. My disciples are the four most desperate among over 30,000 wizards. It is made up of those who want ‘revenge’.

They will want to get stronger one day soon. They will want to become strong and go to the person who caused them pain and rip their throats. understand their feelings. Because I did too.

‘Baek Joo-seok…’

Although Baek is imprisoned, he is not an individual. There are many high-ranking figures whose money Baek Joo-seok was fed up with, as well as several guilds, and even the one common mate Ma Thap-ju is deeply intertwined.

It is said that he is in prison right now, but before the intranet is forcibly opened in the future, it is not known what measures will be taken, and even if it is forcibly opened, it is not known how to avoid punishment.

So I needed more power to slap those damn bastards. This time, we need power, not force.

I looked at the poisoned disciples.

‘Even me, with enough strength, is so bitter and painful, but these guys probably do more than I do.’

It was a moment when the term “community sympathy” was understood.

“I… Instructor?”

‘Oh, I really need to answer’

I stayed silent and talked to Kang Eun-byul.

“It’s because everyone has to get stronger quickly because of their circumstances. Don’t worry about it, just go at your own pace.”

“Do I really need to get stronger quickly? Force is not everything in the world…”

“You are right. But not everyone thinks the same.”

I thought to myself that it was stupid. The daughter of the president of the Hunter Association. For a girl who can use some of the power of the Hunter Association’s president, ‘weakness’ doesn’t mean much. This is unavoidable. She was born with a power greater than force.

‘If there is a cub you don’t like, all you have to do is issue an order.’

decided to understand Because she lives in a completely different world. But one day, Kang Eun-byul will be able to understand the minds of other disciples. The bitter heart of being trampled upon by someone, and the resentment of being unable to do anything.

– Hui Yiying

Where only the cold wind blows. Eventually, we arrived at the place where there was a C-class gate. I told my disciples.

“Everyone, wait here. It seems that the person who reserved the gate to enter with you hasn’t arrived yet.”

The group who reserved the gate first. I don’t know who exactly. You can check the gate reservation status, but you can’t check detailed information about who made it.

‘But I was lucky.’

In general, the gate is available to those who have made a reservation in advance. There are other means, such as dungeon admission tickets or paying the academy by stealing the gate from the country in advance, but basically, many people use this ‘reservation’ a lot.

Of course, if you make a reservation in advance, the gate is given the right to attack by various groups such as ‘Hunter’, ‘Guild’ or ‘Academy’.

However, sometimes, due to anomalies, there are gates that are formed by dividing the dungeon into two. These gates are twice the size of normal dungeons. In the case of gates where anomalies occur, the state forces two groups to enter unconditionally.

It has not yet been clearly defined why the anomaly of dungeon fragmentation occurs, and it may lead to a major problem, so a minimum stabilization device has been put in place.

‘But thanks to that, I was able to enter the dungeon right away without delay.’

Among my disciples, there must be those who were active in the dungeon before. However, now I am in a situation where I have dramatically increased my stats through my buffs and circle breaking. The way magic is used in the past and now will be quite different. This difference would be analogous to the difference in operation between a two-wheeled bicycle and a motorcycle.

A dungeon is a place where you can unleash and practice your magic to your heart’s content. It was the most desperately needed space for the current disciples.

‘Finally coming.’

As I was thinking about it, I saw a group of people walking in the distance.

‘Are you a wizard?’

At first glance, I thought that the flowing energy of mana was the wizards.

‘It’s strange. It’s definitely a familiar feeling…’

The shape was getting closer and closer. Before long, I saw Yang Han-gil standing in front of me. And then I saw a familiar face. Hyeonseo Baek, Haru Lee, Seulgi Yoon, Seoyeon Kim, and others of Helmund Academy’s beginner class in magic. They were my former disciples.

‘Why are these bastards here?…’
