Side Story Chapter 28 - Back to Home (2)
[Now! All I can say is that I'm here now...!]
“Oh no, so...”
Aren was still at a loss as to what Irina wasn't.
Seo-joon watched the two of them quietly and slowly opened his mouth.
“Is that the director?”
Then Irina turned her head and looked at Seo-jun.
[What's going on!]
Irina's tone was sharp.
He didn't do anything wrong, but Seo-joon opened his mouth cautiously.
“Uh... can you check this out?”
Seojun gently held out his smartphone to Irina.
Irina sighed quietly as she watched.
I could see Aren's expression of gratitude over Irina's shoulder.
I didn't have any intention of helping Aren... well anyway.
Before long, Irina checked the smartphone that Seojun handed to her.
《Kim Seo-joon member's causal balance: Impossible to estimate》
〔What the hell is this?〕
Then Irina raises her head and asks Seo-jun.
No, neither mentor nor Irina.
What if you ask me about it?
“......”
Seojun had nothing to say.
[Causal and causal? What is this? No, can there be an unpredictable cause and effect in our academy? It's our transcendent academy that is said to be a hippopotamus that eats causality and a bottomless poison?]
Irina muttered while looking at her smartphone screen as if she couldn't understand it at all.
But wait.
A hippopotamus that eats causal and a bottomless poison?
Did Irina, the director, know about it?
[What the hell happened?]
Irina asked Seo-joon with her eyes wide open.
“Uh... that's it.”
Seo-joon couldn't answer that question right away.
Also, where should I begin to explain this?
Also, I couldn't figure out how to explain it.
But the trouble didn't last long.
Irina is the director of the Transcendent Academy.
A disciple of Astelgia, the first transcendent.
Although the memory of Astelgia disappeared, the memory of his existence was not blown away either.
“Well, that’s what I mean...”
Seojun slowly opened his mouth to Irina.
From the moment the observer was expelled,
the situation fell to the dimension of Astelgia.
And briefly explained the journey so far.
End of such a long story.
[Ah...]
Irina let out a small exclamation.
Looking at Irina's expression, it was quite complicated.
existence of forgotten memories.
[Master...]
Irina just stood there blankly for a while.
Seo-joon waited quietly for Irina.
I don't know, but the truth that is quite
entangled in this world and the teacher whose existence was suddenly erased.
At the same time, why did Aren have to leave Irina's side?
The past days that endured for that long period of time.
All those emotions would be complicatedly intertwined.
That's why I couldn't dare imagine the shock that Irina would receive.
However, Irina quickly came to her senses, befitting the director of the transcendent academy.
Irina slowly turned her head and looked at Aren.
[That doesn't mean I forgave you, Aren. Don't get me wrong.]
Cool.
Then Aren shook his body as if he had been stabbed.
It seemed like he was expecting something...
< I think other transcendents would die of a stomach ache if they saw this scene . Seojun asked the mentor in a whisper. “Was the director so popular?” < Of course! Appearance is appearance. ability if ability. He is a person who has nothing to do with anything, but wouldn't it be strange if he wasn't popular ! Seo-joon smiled and nodded slowly as if agreeing. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Irina was a truly perfect being. Blonde hair that resembles sunlight. Even compared to the goddess of beauty, her appearance is not inferior at all. He was even called the strongest transcendentalist in existence ... That's why I was thinking of Seojun Kim...! You're already married...! >
The mentor shuddered again, covering his head with both hands.
He didn't stop there, but started to repeat the action of raising his head and covering it again.
How... She must have been very shocked.
[Seojun Kim?]
While I was watching the mentor's horrible show, Irina spoke to me again.
Irina gave the smartphone back to Seo-jun and said.
[Would you like to buy anything from the Transcendent Store?]
“Can you say anything?]
[Yes.]
Seeing Irina nodding, Seo-Jun immediately connected to the Transcendent Shop.
‘What should I buy...?'
Irina said anything, but Seojun couldn't.
That would also be the case, because the more you shop at the Transcendent Shop, the more causality accumulates and the higher the price.
Wasn't that why he couldn't carelessly obtain the elixir?
So even if you buy one, you have to be careful.
‘Um...'
Seo-joon chose a piece of equipment after a long thought.
Items that could not be bought due to the accumulation of cause and effect.
Like Kibisys, it was a device that focused on convenience and utility.
Hold on.
When I clicked the purchase button, the corresponding equipment was summoned in front of my eyes with a bright halo.
《Casual consumption -100000000000》
A notification window pops up before long.
It was a notification window saying that 100 billion was consumed.
And another notification window that rings afterwards.
《The cost of the next purchase: 200000000000》
“Damn it...”
Seo-joon muttered involuntarily.
The cost of the next purchase will be 200 billion won due to causal accumulation.
This is because the price has doubled.
Of course, 200 billion was nothing considering the amount of money Seo-joon earned in Astelgia.
However, this is causal cumulative.
If it increased by 2 times for one purchase, the money Seo-joon earned was literally instant.
Isn't there a fable about why a country went bankrupt after starting with a grain of rice on a chessboard and doubling it by two, then going less than 30 squares?
That's why even if it's 200 billion now, in the end...
at that moment.
belt ring.
《Current causal balance of member Seojun Kim: Impossible to estimate》
“...... Huh?”
Seo-jun could not understand the notification window that popped up in front of his eyes.
He must have been consuming 100 billion, but the figure that came up was an unestimated figure.
[As expected...]
it became a myth and spread throughout the empire.
A fairy tale story told to children.
It was the moment when a new story was born in the empire.
The entire empire was buzzing with Seo-jun's story.
Aren's residence.
“Finally...”
Seojun was finally able to regain all his lost power.
In the process, an enormous cause and effect that is really difficult to express in words was consumed, but it did not matter much.
It was because Seo-joon had an unlimited black card limit.
Along with the power of Sandanjeon (三丹田), which was perfected by this, even the power left by the first Transcendentalist.
Of course, there was plenty of cause and effect to return to Earth.
“This... For some reason, I feel like I've created a terrible monster.”
Aren looked at Seo-joon with an unapproachable expression.
“A monster. Aren't you too harsh?”
“Iknow, right. I guess I was talking too much to the monster.”
“......”
Seo-joon was at a loss for words.
Aren gave a small smile to Seo-jun.
It's just words.
In fact, Aren did not doubt Seo Jun.
The will left by the first transcendent.
It was because Seo-joon believed that he would use this power properly.
Knowing Aren's heart, Seo-jun also passed it over with a laugh.
“Rather than that, Aren. Can I ask you one last question?”
“What is it?”
Aren nodded as if to speak.
“You really have nothing to do with Elian?”
“......Are you still in doubt?
Aren looked at Seo-joon with an absurd look.
“No, it’s not like this or that relationship, it’s between Irina and Aren...”
“No.”
Aren shook his head resolutely and continued.
“I'm just a kid who was in this dimension and helped me.”
“Not even descendants?”
“There are no children between Irina and I yet. It would be accurate to say that the Observer's influence prevented her from having children. I didn't know what the observer would do.”
Aren spoke to Seo-joon as if reprimanding him.
“So how many times have I said no?”
“Ah...”
Seeing Aren like that, Seo-joon let out an exclamation full of disappointment.
“What were you expecting?”
“Of course it is like this and that. It’s like a promiscuous mythological story unfolding in the dimension of Astelgia.”
“A promiscuous story? Are you crazy? If that's the case, I'll really die. As you well know, if I fight with Irina, I will lose.”
“Oh, that’s right too.”
Seojun quickly nodded.
Come to think of it, the other person is the director of the transcendent academy.
Even before Seo-joon, if it was an existence called the strongest transcendentalist, there was no way.
Still...
the regret was the regret.
Especially stories like this one were always interesting.
Daejeo isn’t a myth full of stories like this.
It was the same on Earth.
Greek and Roman mythology was 5 minutes before the game,
Norse mythology was 5 minutes after the game, and
Egyptian mythology was played every 5 minutes.
The way beings live is all there, so
Astelgia here would be similar.
And Aren, in a way, could be said to be a mythological being...
“... It's quite unfortunate.”
“So what the heck... uh no. What can I say?”
Aren shook his head in disgust.
Seojun smiled softly at Aren's appearance.
Because it was just a joke anyway.
“Are you going... already?”
At that moment, someone interrupted the conversation between Seojun and Aren.
It was none other than the crown prince of the empire and Seo-jun's disciple, Cals.
Irina and Mentor were in a situation where they were going back to reorganize the system of the transcendent academy.
Carls was wearing bandages all over the place.
Carls, who went beyond his limits in the fight against Vettel.
Fortunately, there was no damage to his life, but he had to recuperate for quite a long time.
Seojun said with a gentle smile.
“I have to go. Why do you think you are running instead of teaching? Don't worry, I'll leave you a lecture through the Transcendent Academy.”
“Oh no. I didn't mean that!”
Carls hurriedly waved his hand as if it was absolutely not.
Seo-joon smiled and continued.
“And if you’re bored, come visit our dimension from time to time. I'll also introduce Lee Ha-yoon, whom I talked about the other day, while listening to the on-site lecture. Seeing that, you haven't had the Crown Princess yet.”
“Are you talking about that again...”
Carls shook his head in disgust.
But that's for a while.
Carls hesitated for a moment.
“That... is it pretty?”
I glanced away and asked in a hint.
“What is pretty?”
I was so speechless that I couldn't tell what was going on.
Should I say I have a cold personality?
By the way...
Were you interested?
Seo-joon laughed involuntarily.
Even though the dimensions were different, the way the beings lived was not very different.
In that sense...
“Stop it.”
“yes.”
Seojun hurriedly turned his head as he looked at Aren.
anyway.
This is how the story that has been intertwined from the beginning has come to an end.
however.
“I feel very sorry for the people of the Empire. If you stay a little longer, even if it's a farewell ceremony...”
“It's okay. what a hassle I'd rather give you the money to prepare for the ceremony.”
The end of the story was neither final nor concluding.
“Do you have that much money and still need it?”
“Carls, that’s what money is. A thick wallet is always right. Always keep that in mind.”
It just flows into a new story by coming into contact with another life.
It's just the beginning of another story.
So now was the time to go.
