Chapter 37- Who Is He?!

Chapter 37- Who Is He?!

"No! I don't wanna die! Please! Anyone!!" Go Young-Soon screamed at the top of his lungs as he barely fended the monsters off with his shield that was already starting to crack. He was the only one who was still capable of fighting because of his naturally strong body and high stamina. However, even he can't fight all of these monsters alone while also keeping his friends safe.

The pressure he felt and the fear that took over his heart were overwhelming. Tears welled up in his eyes as his teeth clenched.

'Please... I don't wanna die! I don't!!'

"I don't want to die!!!" He yelled again with a hoarse voice.

At that moment, out of nowhere, a flash filled his eyes as a silhouette appeared out of nowhere, cutting through the monsters with great swiftness.

Go Young-Soon was shell-shocked by the sudden occurrence. His eyes watched what was happening with incomprehensible bewilderment. A young man around his age carrying what seemed to be a spear appeared out of nowhere and started slicing through the monsters with ease as he made his way to the other side.

The way he nimbly moved through their lines and cut them with ease was mesmerizing. Coupled with his great strength, all the enemies fell under his attacks like insects. A whirlwind of slices was the only thing that they could glimpse of his weapon.

At the same time, from another place, a girl had made her way into the hordes of the enemy cutting them one after the other. She was extremely precise and fast which made it impossible to catch her. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Go Young-Soon and his too friends watched the show, not knowing what to say or even do. They have fought these things for the past three days and they had experienced for themselves how brutally hard it was to kill one of them.

One single bite and it was over for anyone and yet the mysterious duo made it look so unimaginably easy.

"What the..." Un-Hei Ran blinked as she murmured.

Her eyes followed the two individuals and yet she could barely see their silhouettes as they quickly cleaned the area from monsters without breaking a sweat. Almost 30 Dimension Walkers were wiped out of existence in a matter of minutes.

When Talon was sure that he killed the last one, he finally stopped and exhaled a long breath.

His eyes fell on the long list of notifications that indicated he killed those monsters before he got rid of it all. In total, he killed 17 Dimension Walkers while Hyun-Jae killed 13 herself.

'Damn, this many monsters and it didn't give me a level up. I guess relying on weak enemies won't cut it in the longer term. I have to face strong ones.' He thought to himself.

He still hadn't forgotten about the class notification he got but he postponed it till he was in a safe place where he could think calmly.

"Are you ok?" Hyun-Jae approached him and asked.

"I'm good, you?" "Easy enough."

"Good job." He said with a smile as he shifted his gaze to the trio that were staring at them this whole time. "Are you guys ok? Did anyone of you get bitten or scratched or anything of that sort?" His question seemed to break their daze as one of them finally stood up.

"W-We're fine! T-Thank you for... saving us! I'm Go-Young Soon!" The young man said.

Go Young-Soon was on the taller side with a good build and strikingly long hair that was tied into a messy bun. He seemed rather perturbed but he was still snappy enough to realize who one of these mysterious duo was.

"E-Excuse me, Miss, but aren't yo-"

"Hmm..." Acrypha murmured with a mysterious look on her face. She didn't deny nor acknowledge what Talon said.

Back to Hyun-Jae, she looked at the trio and asked. "What are you doing outside? It's extremely dangerous."

The trio looked down with frowns on their faces as they went silent.

"What?" Hyun-Jae asked.

"Miss President... We were..." Mo Shin spoke as he rubbed his nape.

"The other students made us leave to fight the monsters since we had weapons."

Hyun-Jae frowned when she heard those words. "Explain." She said.

"A-After everything started, many students and professors hid in the gymnasium since it was the safest place on the campus. We found some food there but it wasn't much so someone had to go out and get food or everyone would die from famine." Go-Young Soon clenched his fists in frustration as he explained what happened.

"To our bad luck, Mo Shin, Hei-Ran, and I were able to kill a few Dimension Walkers and we got this shield, that dagger in Mo Shin's hand, and that weird-looking gun Hei-Ran has. When everyone saw our weapons, they at first tried to take them by force to protect themselves. When they couldn't do it, we were instead forced to go out to get food for everyone else."

"Only the three of you?" Hyun-Jae asked as she looked at Talon who shrugged cluelessly. Neither of them understood what kind of messed up logic the other students worked on.

"No one wanted to go out so they voted us to be the ones to leave. We were thrown to our deaths! If it wasn't for the two of you, we would've been dead by now." Hei-Ran added as she wiped the tears off her face.

The sheer anger and frustration she felt at that moment were unimaginable. How dare those cowards stay safe in the gymnasium while they have to risk their lives and get food to fill their fat bellies?

Hyun-Jae exhaled a long breath as she grabbed her forehead. "And who was the one that suggested that you three go in the first place?"

"Mmm, it was... Rim Kyung... He took leadership of the entire place and started giving orders as if he owned the place."

"Rim Kyung?" Hyun-Jae raised an eyebrow at the unexpected name.

Rim Kyung was the president of the political studies club and the only person to dare and threaten Hyun-Jae's position as the student council president. He was a very cunning and underhanded man who didn't care about morals or consequences as long as he got what he wanted. In other words, a complete scumbag.

"Rim Kyung, huh?" Hearing that name, Talon stepped into the conversation. "Isn't he that dude that keeps making speeches in the main courtyard every day?"

"Yes, that's him. Wait, excuse me, who are you?" Mo Shin asked when he noticed Talon.

The young man looked rather average appearance wise but the strength he possessed seemed to rival that of the president. Not to mention the weird feeling Mo Shin got when he stared at Talon. Something about his aura felt eerie and captivating at the same time.

'He's also standing awfully close to the president as if it is nothing.' He noted down in his head.

The other two also noticed it and could only frown in shock. Hyun-Jae had never been this close to a man before. Even Chin-Hwa would keep at least three feet of distance between him and her.

Yet, this young man dared not only stand next to her but also not respect the distance she put between her and everyone else.

'Who is he?!' (x3)
