Chapter 62 - Disappearance (2)
After a moment's thought, Seo-joon decided to carry out Hercules' task first.
There were many problems with Jang Sam-bong's task right now.
20m mid-air drop. Hold for 30 seconds at 300 km/h.
Both tasks were difficult here at Dream Academy.
I didn't know why it was a necessary task in learning alternative steps, but anyway.
“One ton...”
One ton was a whopping 1000kg in weight.
The average weight of a hippo was about 1200kg, so it was roughly equivalent to carrying out Chiron's task with one hippo on his back.
“Looking at it like this, it seems worthwhile, right? Hmm... If I had known this would happen, I would have stocked up monster corpses instead of selling them.”
After completing Keiron's lecture, Seo-joon sold all the corpses thinking that there would be no more assignments.
You can't raid right now, and you can't bring a real hippo and carry it on your back.
Seo-joon gathered all the metals in the Dream Academy training hall and almost poured them into the kibisis.
Kibisys reduced the weight by 70%, so I had to put in more metal than I thought, but I was still able to match the weight.
“It's good that you bought Kibisis. Well, I didn't buy it for this purpose...”
It was up to the user to use the item.
thud!
“At this level... I think it will be 1 ton!”
When I listened to it lightly, it was a bit too heavy for Seo-joon, who was wearing the power of reverse divergence.
And if you look at Chiron's task, Hercules' task will also require a straight posture.
It seemed that it would be possible to draw even the power of mana.
“I am I can’t believe I have to go this far just to exercise.”
Is this exercise or torture?
Seo-joon smiled and started squatting first.
Poududeuk!
“Ha ha... Nea!”
Poududeuk!
“Douuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Seo-joon gnashed his teeth and carried out the assignment, and how much time had passed like that.
“Eve Aeg...! Twenty Melancholy...! God!”
Before anyone knew it, Seojun was breaking through the 200th episode.
and.
“Turn off...!”
Seo-joon could feel firsthand what the expression “I feel like I’m going to die” means.
If I were to die now, I was confident that I would die right now.
I thought it was worth doing until the first 100 episodes.
However, after the 200th episode, my body started to tremble, and now it seemed as if every muscle joint was disconnected.
Poududeuk!
As if my muscles were at their limit, I could hear them clamoring to stop this madness right now.
“Eve Aeg...! Twenty Melancholy...! Doubly depressed!”
However, Seo-joon did not give up until the end.
Like that, 300. 400. Only after finishing the last 500 episodes.
Iron pudduck.
Seo-joon collapsed on the floor without even screaming.
“Turn it off...”
The kibisis weighing one ton pressed heavily on Seo-joon’s body.
Seo-joon reached out with difficulty to check his smartphone.
- 500 squats. [500/500]. (Achieved!)
Fortunately, I was able to achieve it without cheating.
but.
-20 km canter. [0km/20km].
- 500 squats. [500/500]. (Achieved!)
- 200 push-ups. [0/200].
- 300 sit-ups. [0/300].
- 150 pull-ups. [0/150].
Hercules' task had just begun.
“Is this... the task I was made to do...?”
It wasn't even just a task, it was a ‘daily' task.
You have to do it every single day, every single day.
If you can't do it, you can't listen to the lecture itself, it's a crazy system.
“Crazy...”
Seo-joon recalled the first time he heard Keiron's lecture at the hospital.
“Still, I've grown a lot more than before...”
After taking a break, Seo-joon got up again and performed the task.
- 200 push-ups. [200/200]. (Achieved!)
- 300 sit-ups. [300/300]. (Achieved!)
- 150 pull-ups. [150/150]. (Achieved!)
Seo-joon completed push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups like that.
“Haha...! Haha...! I will not! no! No more!”
However, Seo-joon's stamina was almost discharged.
Really, saying that I didn't even have the strength to lift a hand seemed to be referring to the current situation.
So Seo-joon had no choice but to lie on the floor for a while with a ton of kibisis pressing down on his body.
and.
“......What are you doing?” Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
Looking at Seo-jun, Seo-yoon felt like she was leaving for the first time in a while.
Seoyoon could hardly understand what was going on.
That would be the case, Seoyoon just finished her work and returned to the academy.
“Please save me... Mr. Seoyoon...”
As soon as he returned, he saw Seojun with a dying expression on his face, crying out for help.
“What are you doing?”
“Please take this away... I think I'm going to die...” It
was only then that Seoyoon could see the small pouch hanging behind Seojun's back.
It was a subspace bag I had seen the other day, but apparently it was ignorantly weighted.
“No, how many things did you put in?”
Seoyoon didn't take it seriously and grabbed the pouch.
“...huh?”
But for some reason, the subspace pocket didn't budge.
Seo-yoon gave her strength several times, but it was only a little fluttering and she couldn't hear it completely.
“Why is this...!”
Seoyoon finally used mana and only then was she able to remove the pouch from Seojun's back.
Wow!
Then, the academy building vibrates and vibrates.
Seoyoon asked Seojun with an absurd look.
“What the hell did you put in it so it’s so heavy?”
“Haha... It's just that I put in all the metal fittings in the academy and it turned out like this.”
“yes? Why is that... No, that goes in everything?”
Seo-joon didn't answer and just raised his body.
Then, as if he just remembered, he asked Seoyoon,
“Oh, really. Seo Yoon. How tall is the Dream Academy building here?”
“Maybe... since it’s a three-story building, wouldn’t it be about 10m?”
“hmm. 10m is not enough...”
Seoyoon tilted her head and asked.
“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“Are you following him? What do you mean?”
“That was... 3 or 4 days ago, right? Some weird guy came in looking for someone to do the job of transporting the monsters. At that time, Mancheol followed him, maybe?”
“Oh right. They told me that they would pay a hefty fee, so I was a bit nervous too.”
Seojun asked people.
“Then did the others follow along?”
“Nope. Only full season has gone.”
As Seo-jun tilted his head, each of the people spat out a word.
“Just by looking at it, it was an award. I mean, personally, rather than through a company, it smells disgusting.”
“Most of those things are dangerous or shameful. No matter how good money is, it is not more important than life.”
“Then, why is Mr. Mancheol...”
“Is the money urgent? I think they said something like sending my daughter to the academy or something...”
“Now that I think about it, what really happened?”
For a moment, Seo-joon felt like his heart sank.
Seo-joon asked urgently.
“Ho maybe! Can I find out where you went to the dungeon with that person?”
“We don’t know. I didn't tell you.”
“Maybe you can find out when you go to the association? Whether it's a raid or a transport, I have to report it to the association.”
As soon as Seojun heard that, he turned his back.
“Thank you! I have something urgent, so I'll go now!”
“What is it? are you going already? draw! Come by often!”
Then, he ran to the Seoul branch Hunter Association.
#
To begin with, Seo-jun could not get any information from the association.
As soon as Seo-joon ran to the association, he wanted to check the dungeon reservation records and transport records from 3 to 4 days ago.
However, the association staff responded with a troubled expression.
“sorry. Since it is about personal information, we cannot inform it to a third party.”
“Is it because someone is missing right now?”
“Unless the disappearance is confirmed, we cannot inform you. Even if it is missing, we cannot notify a third party. sorry.”
Seo-joon continued to persuade the association staff, but the association staff also kept saying no.
In the end, Seo-jun had no choice but to return without any income.
Man-cheol, who had not been contacted for 4 days, went to work with a suspicious person 4 days ago.
From the circumstances, it was clear that something had happened to Mancheol.
Of course, as the association staff said, nothing was confirmed.
However, Seo-jun could not hide his uneasy feeling.
That's why Seo-joon felt quite impatient.
Mancheol was like a family to Seojun.
Not only for the past 10 years, but also a few months ago.
When Seo-joon lost all the money he had saved for 9 years in an accident and was frustrated, Man-cheol was the first to come to comfort him and worry about him.
In addition, he himself readily handed over a large sum of 3 million won in a difficult situation.
And that 3 million won became the subscription fee for the transcendent academy, and now Seo-joon was there.
Kwadeuk.
Seo-joon had no intention of passing this fact lightly.
Of course, there was no way for Seo-jun to do anything right now, but if you make a way, stop it.
Seo-jun immediately returned to Dream Academy and explained the situation to Seo-yoon.
“Is that for real?”
Then, Seoyoon was startled and expressed her concern about Mancheol.
She was also Seo-yoon, who was acquainted with Man-cheol during the last dungeon clearing contest.
Above all, because he knew what Seojun thought of Mancheol, Seoyoon was able to immediately accept how serious the situation was.
“yes. So I went to the association, but I came only to hear that they couldn't tell me.”
“Then how...”
Seojun directly said to Seoyoon.
“Can you please let me meet the sword saint now?”
Circumstances, Man-cheol followed the suspicious person and something happened.
Then you need to know which dungeon you went to, but the problem is that the association is private information and does not give that information to Seo-jun.
However, the story was different with the Sword Saint.
Geomseong is one of the five heroes representing Korea.
The head of the association and the association, as well as the government, were the ones to notice.
If it was personal information and the Sword Master directly asked for it, the association would not be able to refuse it.
“Is it right now?”
Seojun nodded firmly.
There is no time to wait.
Even at this moment, I didn't know what was going on with Mancheol.
There was no point in wasting time.
“Please wait a moment.”
Seoyoon also contacted her immediately to see if she knew about it, and she was able to get permission soon.
Seoyoon's hometown arrived like that.
“Do you want me to help you?”
Before he had time to appreciate the scenery of the old-fashioned house, Seo-joon was able to face Geomsung right away.
And judging from the questions they asked as soon as they met, it seemed that Seoyoon had roughly explained the situation in advance.
“no.”
However, Seojun shook his head firmly.
“Then... why did you want to meet me?”
And Seo-jun's appearance gave Geomseong a look of surprise.
Of course, it is true that Seo-jun came to ask for help from Geomseong.
Even so, the reason Seo-jun shook his head was because he knew that the swordsman would not help Seo-jun.
If it was Seoyoon, there was no way to help the Swordsman Iljin, who was already disapproving of Seojun.
So, Seo-joon.
“How about hanging out with me?”
He made a provocation-like proposal to the Sword Saint.
“...what?”
As expected, Geomseong looked at Seo-jun with a puzzled look.
In the process, he even felt like he was living, but Seo-joon continued to speak calmly.
“I have changed a lot from before. If I win, go beyond helping Sword Saint and actively intervene in this case. instead.”
Seojun immediately opened his mouth as if cutting off the swordsman who was about to say something.
“If I lose to the Sword Saint, I will leave Dream Academy.”
“Seo Seo-joon...?”
Then Seoyoon shouted at Seojun in a panicked voice.
However, Seo-jun did not even look at Seo-yoon and continued talking.
“Of course, there is no way I can perfectly beat the Sword Master. So, if I hurt the Sword Master even once, please make it my victory.”
No matter how much Seojun had grown, he could never win against the swordsman.
However, how could it possibly be effective?
Of course, even this was not certain.
Anyway, the swordsman is an existence called S-class above S-class.
It was a distant stage that Seo-jun could not see now.
That's why it was a gamble as Seo-jun, but this was the only way to save Man-cheol.
“......You are bold.”
Geomseong looked at Seo-jun with his eyes wide open.
And after a while, the Sword Saint nodded.
“good night.”
“grandfather!”
Seoyoon shouted, but the swordsman did not waver.
Seojun also did not avoid the eyes of the swordsman.
“Follow me.”
The swordsman slowly rose from his seat.
