Chapter 54
Sometimes in life, there are things that are so stupid that you can't believe what happened in real life.
Since the Hunter industry is also a place where people live, such things used to happen, but the problem is that these hunters are superpowers.
Because of that, when things happened, the scale was often extraordinary, and there was one of the greatest anecdotes.
[S-class hunter who was caught having an affair with a guild leader's lover, stabbed him in the guild leader's stomach, destroyed his school, and turned into a disaster devil?!]]
It was a crazy anecdote, But surprisingly, it actually happened in England.
The guild is Royal Knights, one of the world's top 10 guilds. The crazy S-class hunter was named ‘Donacien de Trua’.
"Huh…."
Kang Yoo-sik was training hard with a gloomy expression on his face at the Grand battle hall where he is now watching.
‘I never thought I'd see that crazy guy in real life.’
Kang Yoo-sik made a curious look at Trua's hard-moving appearance on the grand battle hall.
A dull purple hair with drooping eyes. It was a bit of a decadent impression because there was a tear point, but it was almost identical to the picture Kang Yoo-sik remembered.
‘That picture was amazing.’
The picture is of him standing solemnly holding a sword that he awakened with his back to the burning Round Academy.
Although he looked like a revolutionary in terms of composition, he was famous for his unbalanced picture because he was a crazy man who smashed his school right after having an affair.
‘Hmm…… what am I supposed to do with you?’
Like Archibald, he was presumed to be a disaster-like devil, but this time, things are different from then.
At that time, even before he became a devil, he was hopeless, but he was just fooled by the lover of the guild leader who had an affair and fell into the abyss.
‘I think it's worth a try at this time.’
Now is the time when he hasn’t met a devil or is not that close, and most of all, it’s not common opportunities to meet him like this.
Kang Yoo-sik, who made the decision, raised the memory of Trua's character, made a plan, and asked Ban Hye-young.
"Teacher, can I look closer?"
"Hmm? Do you want to see that much?”
"I just wanted to see how it works.”
"Eck…… are you going to get inside?"
"Yes."
When Kang Yoo-sik nodded, Ban Hye-young slightly rolled her eyes, and soon spoke in a slightly worried voice.
"Heinz told them beforehand, so you wouldn't have a problem coming in…… but I honestly don't recommend it. Knight College and Maze College don't get along."
As you can see from the fact that districts and classes are divided according to school, Round Academy values school more.
For that reason, despite being alumni, they considered each other as enemies, but there is nothing good to go as a guest of Maze College.
"It's okay. I'm used to the attention."
However, Kang Yoo-sik did not give up because he was expecting unkindness, and Ban Hye-young nodded after thinking about it for a long time.
"Yes, yes, let's go. If there's a problem……Heinz will take care of it.”
"Thank you."
"Instead, it's annoying, so let's watch it quietly."
The two moved toward the Grand battle hall, and as the distance approached, attention began to pour toward them.
Eyes with more hostility than curiosity. Kang Yoo-sik made a curious look at the fierce gaze.
‘They hate wizards so much, but I don't know how they share the main building.’
If they run into each other while passing by, they'll have a fistfight.
When Kang Yoo-sik is looking at them with an interesting expression. A student who was staring at them cried out.
"Andrew tutor. Outsiders came to see us."
At the student's call, something huge lifted up from the back, and a heavy footsteps echoed from inside the grand battle hall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two meters tall and thick heavy armor. The sound must have been intentional, but it seemed natural because of the atmosphere.
When Kang Yoo-sik and Ban Hye-young looked up at the loud appearance, a man called Andrew opened his mouth with a grimace.
"It is not a place for outsiders to visit."
Andrew's voice is openly hostile. Ban Hye-young answered calmly as if she had expected it.
"We've already got permission."
"Who's permission?"
"Heinz, dean of magic at Maze College."
The man's face slightly frowned at the name of Heinz and looked at Ban Hye-young.
"You're an Arc maze."
Whenever people hear her name, they are surprised. But here, Andrew and the students looked at her with disapproving eyes.
It's because Knight College people hate Maze College officials and wizards.
"This is Knight College's grand battle hall. If you're a guest from Maze College, why don't you go there?"
"There shouldn't be a problem with the permission. Don't pick on me."
Andrew's eyes were distorted by Ban Hye-young's answer and soon asked reluctantly.
"So what's the point of your visit?"
"I want to experience Drake's bless. Can I get in the grand battle hall…….”
"I can't allow it."
Andrew, who had been cut before the word was finished, looked at with a stern look.
"Drake's bless is the will of the Red Dragon to protect those who struggle. We cannot give protection to those who are not willing to fight."
He'll never allow it if I'm just going to watch it. Andrew's determined answer made Ban Hye-young's eyes frown.
"Then do I just need the will to fight?"
Kang Yoo-sik asked with a sour look.
"……of course, anyone can enter the Great Battle hall if they prove their willingness to fight."
Andrew, who opposed it a while ago, easily approved it.
At first glance, Kang Yoo-sik laughed inwardly at the sight of him full of thoughts of messing with someone, and Ban Hye-young whispered in his ear with a lazy look.
"Yoo-sik, let's just go."
"You think I'm going to lose?"
"If we fight normally, we'll hardly lose. But I think they're going to cheat.”
In fact, looking at some people with eyes glaring around them, it seemed that they had organized candidates with strong ones to mess with them when they came to see them from the beginning.
"It's better to just avoid it when you think about the finals. They call themselves knights, but they're just gangsters."
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Ban Hye-young's disapproving look.
"Don't worry. I have an idea."
"…huh. Just do whatever you want."
Ban Hye-young, who recognized that Kang Yoo-sik would not change his mind, sighed and nodded.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Andrew and asked him fluently in English, which he had trained before return.
"There are conditions instead."
"What's the deal?”
"Let me choose who to fight with."
Andrew's eyes slightly frowned at Kang Yoo-sik's request, and he thought about something for a while and slightly smiled.
"Okay, but if you choose a weak opponent on purpose, I'll nullify it. If you agree with this, do as you please."
It means that they will never allow it unless they are convinced, but Kang Yoo-sik nodded because it didn't matter to him.
"Alright."
"Yes, then choose one."
The students, who were determined, rushed out and stared at Kang Yoo-sik with fierce eyes.
Their eyes are full of blood, saying, "If you just choose me, I'll destroy you." Kang Yoo-sik slowly looked at the students as if he was choosing one.
"I'll take him."
He pointed his finger at Trua, who was standing in the corner without any interest.
"haha!”
"LOL…."
"Crazy punk…".”
There was ridicule from people around Kang Yoo-sik's appearance, and an open sarcastic look poured out.
The situation tells that it is a failure. However, Kang Yoo-sik looked calm because it was all intended.
"You have a good choice.”
Smiling Andrew turned his head and looked at Trua.
"How do you like it, Sir Trua?"
Andrew uses honorifics to call students. At the call, Trua answered with a familiar calmness.
"It doesn't matter."
A voice full of boredom. Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the sight of him who seemed to hate the world.
"Then let's get started."
"Yes, come inside."
At Andrew's permission, two people went inside the Grand battle hall, and at that moment, the Drake’s bless, which was floating around, naturally entered.
[Drake’s bless is applied.]
[Red Dragon’s heart, relief from wounds within the area.]
[Red Dragon's claws, maintaining belligerence within the area.]
[Red Dragon's wings, increased growth rate within the area.]
Kang Yoo-sik, who caught all the changes made by Drake's bless and maximization of cognition, looked strange.
‘This is something….’
A subtle hint that cannot be explained clearly but must not be forgotten.
When Kang Yoo-sik stood blankly in the cover of Drake's bless. Andrew twisted his lips and looked.
"What? Are you going to surrender before the fight?"
“…….”
"That's how magicians end up."
“…….”
"……are you ignoring me?"
Andrew, who was sarcastic, continued to be ignored, changed his face red, and only then did Kang Yoo-sik, who came to his senses, look at him.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I have something to think about…….”
"…………."
Andrew, who was blatantly clicked his tongue, headed to Trua's side, muttered in a low voice.
"Sir Trua, it's a chance to honor Knight College."
Trua's eyes wiggled at the word of honor, and soon he sighed and nodded.
"Alright."
Andrew moved as if he were satisfied with the appearance, and Ban Hye-young, who came near Kang Yoo-sik, had a slightly troubled look.
"Hey…… why would you choose such a man?….”
"Don't worry. I didn't choose without thinking."
"……You chose him intentionally?”
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Ban Hye-young's surprised expression.
"I don't know. He just seemed to be the most useful.”
Ban Hye-young stared blankly at Kang Yoo-sik's answer and soon laughed.
"You're such a mysterious…Are you confident?”
"I wouldn't do it without it."
"Okay, then crush him this time. Heinz will be in a good mood, so he could give you something else."
Ban Hye-young, who tapped Kang Yoo-sik on the shoulder, stepped back, and soon, a space surrounding them was created over the grand battle hall.
After seeing the venue set up, Trua came forward and Kang Yoo-sik moved accordingly.
‘It's our first time meeting, so let's go lightly.’
Without having to cling to victory, he will imprint himself on him. Kang Yoo-sik looked at Trua leisurely because it was not his cup of tea to make it unnecessarily rough.
Jingle.
And he found a pendant hanging around his neck.
‘…….’
Jewelry pendant that brilliantly shines dozens of colors.
It looked unusual just by looking at it, but strangely, there was a sense of curiosity that caught Kang Yoo-sik's attention.
‘Something… Like I've seen it somewhere…….’
Kang Yoo-sik even used a memory map to search his memory, and soon pieces of memory came to mind in front of his eyes.
(Spell sword Perceval) (Component) (Unawakened)
‘……oh!'
A photo of Trua right after the half destroy of Round Academy.
There was a background that made the figure famous, but there was also a spell sword in its hand.
It was because Trua, who was an A-class hunter, was revised to be an S-class hunter because of that S-class spell sword, "Perceval."
‘You've had it since now.’
Kang Yoo-sik, who saw the parts of Perceval on Trua's neck, was worried.
Perceval was a powerful spell sword enough to enter the next top 10 weapons, and Trua, who became a disaster devil, fought on par with seven S-class hunters thanks to his perfect handling of Perceval.
‘The problem is how to awake…….’
According to the fact that it was later revealed through the spy of the devil, who corrupted Trua, Perceval’s awakening conditions were insane.
That's because core, which is maintaining the facilities of Round Academy, was needed as a material.
‘……no, I don't have to think about it in advance.’
After Trua's death, Hunter and the devils around the world fight for it.
At that time, it was lost in the dungeon and disappeared, but the real thing in front of him now.
Whether to awake it or not, it is good to take it for now.
‘I'll do as much as I got, so hang in there this time.'
If I recruit him and get a pendant within a week, I can't afford to play lightly.
Kang Yoo-sik, who had changed all the plans he had in his head, faced Trua in the center.
"……I'm sorry. I've got you involved in this meaningless fight."
A voice smeared with boredom and sarcasm. Kang Yoo-sik made a curious expression with a sickening tone that fits his gloomy face.
"What's meaningless?”
"This is just a vent of anger of Knight College, which is dissatisfied with Maze College. Maybe they’re dissatisfied with the hosting of this joint tournament."
It is definitely not good for Knight College that Maze College held a competition out of the blue and attracted attention.
Kang Yoo-sik, who knew the situation, smiled at Trua, who felt sorry for him.
"You don't really think I picked you because I didn't know anything and got provoked, do you?
“…….”
Trua's eyes wiggled slightly at Kang Yoo-sik's words and soon asked in a wary voice.
"What are you aiming for?”
"Beating you down."
“…….”
Trua's eyes widened at the short answer, and Kang Yoo-sik emphasized.
"The look on my face as if you were the most unhappy in the world was annoying. I chose it to beat you down."
"I don't know what that shallow provocation means."
"I think it is more meaningful than you who think it's meaningless even before the fight."
“…….”
At every word of Kang Yoo-sik's, his eyes gradually frowned.
"If you didn't want to fight in the first place, you refuse. Why do you take it and mess it up?"
"……I already said. All meaningless…….”
"Oh, that's it. Are you trying to make a fool of me because you're afraid you'll lose?”
At one word of Kang Yoo-sik, Trua's eyes were completely distorted, and his drooping face boiled with anger.
"More than that…… You'll regret it."
"It's definitely better to beat someone who's doing it right than to beat someone who's fighting unwillingly."
"……."
Trua's eyes glared at repeated provocations by Kang Yoo-sik, and soon a patient voice came out, pressing down on his anger.
"If you want so much…I'll show you the difference."
At the end of the word, Trua turned around, and Kang Yoo-sik went back to his original position.
People thought they would shake hands but the atmosphere became cold. Trua drew a sword from his waist.
"You go first."
Trua's declaration made people nervous, and Andrew looked at it with a perplexed look.
"S, Sir Trua. I can't believe you gave up the first move.….”
"What is he thinking?"
"I don't know, but…Wouldn't it matter?”
Despite claiming to be disadvantageous, the atmosphere around him remained unchanged, and Kang Yoo-sik smiled brightly at the sight.
‘Oh, this is the kind of guy you are.’
I thought he'd do something stupid because he's such a chivalry person, but he's trying to show the difference.
‘It’s worth taking the pendant.’
It is not bad to take this opportunity to give practical advice that will never be forgotten again. Kang Yoo-sik grinned at Trua's declaration.
"Then I will go first."
It's been a long time since the midterm. I'm a little nervous, but I'm used to hitting with all my might because I've been doing it before return.
Slowly breathing, Kang Yoo-sik reached out his hands and raised all his power. And the moment the power began to be conjured up.
Whooo-
Trua and everyone else's expressions hardened.
