Episode 127 Spotlight (3)
“Min Jaehyun is the guild master of Yeonhwa Guild. Is it true that Yooseong is the direct disciple of CEO?”
“All are true.”
At Jaehyun’s declaration, the buzz of reporters quickly filled the conference room.
It was natural.
The apprentice of Yoo Sung-eun, who is an S-class radar, has been revealed.
This was a scoop as big as the corruption of former chairman Koo Ja-in.
Jaehyun has been consistently active not only in the second practical training, but also in hunting freshmen and theme dungeons.
For reporters who make a living off of views, the appearance of such a rookie was very welcome.
‘If I can write a single article about Min Jae-hyun, I will be promoted soon!’
Everyone was thinking the same thing.
Jaehyun was calm.
“Thanks to CEO Yuseong, I was able to improve my lack of skills and come to where I am now.”
Reporters also nodded as if moved by Jaehyun’s humble words.
The Jaehyun they saw was the current best rookie with both skills and humility.
Reporters seemed impatient to write an article about Jaehyun.
at that time. The reporter who asked the first question asked again.
“Min Jaehyun. So far, each newspaper has looked at numerous articles related to the awakened rookie, but no article about Min Jae-hyun could be found. Did you hide the skills you saw from the start?”
“I didn’t want to be noticed by a lot of people.”
Jaehyun gave a short answer.
After that, the questions continued to pour in.
Other reporters also joined in this time.
“When specifically did you sign a contract with Yeonhwa Guild?!”
“It’s only been a few months. I guess I was lucky.”
“At the time of the Neverland themed dungeon incident, is it true that it was Jae-hyun who attacked the dungeon?”
“you’re right. I happened to be nearby and got caught up in the incident.”
“When did you learn about Gu Ja-in’s evil deeds? At the time of the second performance, were all the things you said in the live broadcast based on facts?”
“yes. I was aware of the evil deeds of the former chairman, Gu Ja-in, from the first time I entered school.
During the freshman hunt, I fell into Gu Jain’s trap and almost died once. However, not a single line of news about an accident like this came out.”
Jaehyun calmly responded and looked ahead.
The reporters’ questions soon led to trivial matters.
Even family relationships and whether or not you have a girlfriend.
However, Jaehyun did not change the color of his face and maintained his calmness.
‘It would be difficult if I showed myself being swung around here.’
due to the nature of the job. From now on, Jaehyun has to meet reporters constantly. If you give the impression of being swung here once, you will have a lot of trouble afterwards.
Responding calmly is the most important thing now.
like that. After being asked for a while.
Yoo Seong stopped the reporters’ offensive.
“Please refrain from asking excessive questions to Jaehyun, who is still in shock after going through a major event.”
With those words, the barrage of questions visibly subsided.
Except for Seongjae Park, the three accepted a few more questions.
about an hour later.
So the press conference ended.
* * *
“shit! Are those bastards feeding me like this?! I think I will end up here!”
Gu Jain, whose hands were bound, spoke in a voice mixed with annoyance.
he thought
How the hell did things get so twisted?
even just a few months ago.
I never expected that I would end up like this.
Guin.
The downfall of one of Korea’s greatest powers was something that even he himself could not accept.
from the highest to the lowest.
It was only a few months.
Jaehyun Min. This happened just a few months after he entered Miles.
something that is not easily accepted.
Park Ha-joon, who was by his side, also seemed to have almost lost trust in himself.
At first, I tried to convince myself that there was still hope, but… …
On the second day, I almost gave up.
Gu Jain felt stomach acid bubbling inside.
On TV, he portrayed himself as a villain every day, and on the contrary, Yoo Seong-eun and Min Jae-hyun were admired as heroes.
It was completely incomprehensible to him.
“How much did I do for you… … !”
Gu Ja-in was sincerely sorry.
The words he said in front of reporters, that he was innocent.
It was sincere.
Jain Koo has been serving as the chairman of the board of directors and has trained numerous A and S class radars.
How many lives were saved because of this?
Could someone else have done it if they had been in the same position as you?
no.
Never.
They are shaken by false hypocrisy.
More people would have died had he not sat on the board of directors at Miles.
Of course, the people he sacrificed also exist, but they are a minority. It’s just a sacrifice for the sake of the great.
Not everyone can live.
Everyone knows it, even if you don’t show it.
That it was absurd that no victims came from the attack of the Witchbeast.
Gu Jain thought.
Everyone can’t live anyway, and if someone has to die.
Aren’t we supposed to choose who we die for?
Also for society,
Isn’t it a hundred times better for useless weak people to die?
Gu Jain could not understand. They are just hypocrites.
‘Disgusting bastards.’
Gu Jain could never give up here.
But now I couldn’t do anything.
At least for a few months, until I get in touch with ‘them’.
He would have to stay locked up here.
* * *
again a few days after that.
Central Auditorium of Milles Academy.
The entire party gathered to hear the speech of the newly inaugurated interim chairman.
The auditorium was generally quiet, but only one area was noisy.
It was also where Kim Yoo-jung was.
“hey! How could you hide such an important fact?! Yoosung is your sister’s disciple? you?”
Kim Yoo-jung raised her voice and grabbed Jae-hyun by the collar.
Jaehyun hurriedly grabbed her wrist.
“Hey, okay. Let’s talk about this! Inaya, Hoyeona, try to stop him!”
“… … Jaehyun thinks you were bad this time.”
“I am neutral.”
Seo In-na and Ahn Ho-yeon also turned their backs.
Well, from their point of view, it would be disappointing that Jaehyun hid this incident.
Nothing else, the direct follower of Yeonhwa’s representative Yoo Sung-eun… … .
Well, it’s Kim Yoo-jung, I’m just quarreling because I’m jealous of Jae-hyun.
After arguing with Kim Yoo-jung for a long time.
Jaehyun barely catches his breath.
“I’m just saying it just in case… … It’s not over. know?”
“… … huh. There’s no way Gujain would collapse so easily.”
Seo Ina nodded. So did the others.
“In the meantime, you just need to get stronger as quickly as possible. The Yeonhwa Guild and the Radar Management Headquarters also agreed to help you.”
“It’s best if we don’t intervene directly, but… … It doesn’t.”
At Kim Yu-jung’s words, Jae-hyun nodded as if he couldn’t do anything about it.
Ahn Ho-yeon also burned with enthusiasm.
“I will become stronger too. I definitely knew it from my guild experience. That I am weak.”
“… … So do i.”
Jaehyun nodded his head proudly at the conversation between the three.
spirit of improvement. This will lead your colleagues to higher places in the future.
‘Of course, I have no intention of bringing children into the case in the future.’
Apart from that, Jaehyun definitely realized.
No matter how strong they are, none of that matters.
You should not let your party get involved in your own business.
For a decisive battle with the Aesir god, stronger power is needed.
It had nothing to do with them, and it was too early to leave their backs on their skills.
‘It’s not that I’m ignoring the kids, but it’s something I have to do against the Æsir god. I can never drag you in.’
Jaehyun thought about it, but suddenly the lights in the auditorium turned on and a person appeared.
It was a familiar face to Jaehyun, no, to all the magic students here.
“what? Why is the instructor over there?”
Jaehyun laughed lightly at Kim Yoojung’s bewildered voice.
“It’s that person.”
“… … What are you talking about?”
Seo In-na also asked again, and Jae-hyun answered again.
“Instructor Kim Ji-yeon. That person is the new chairman.”
At those words, everyone in the party was stunned.
What do you mean by that?
A new instructor who is only in his late 20s is the new chairman?
In the midst of the confusion, only Ahn Ho-yeon tilted his head.
“so. Who is that instructor?”
* * *
Aerial view of an abandoned building in Daegu.
This is an unrepaired area that was abandoned after a demonic outbreak.
without a single person. This is where it would normally have been.
However, there is a being in the form of a human standing here right now.
A being with transcendent magical powers, carrying a huge horn on its back.
Heimdall.
Also called the White God, a male god famous for being wise and beautiful.
“Don’t hide, make an appearance.”
Heimdall pulled out the sword from his waist and said to the empty lot.
“How dare I follow Heimdall?”
“It’s not a pity. What kind of rude words. I’m only here to say hello.”
at that time. A voice was heard, and Hela, who had been hiding behind her cover, appeared.
Heimdall snorted.
“You half-Aesir gods did something very interesting this time.”
“Only Odin and the Æsir will do it.”
“Hmph, if you put it in water, you’re the kind of guy who will just open his mouth. Hell. Does she still have hope? The antagonist of the prophecy will appear and she will liberate you like a hero?”
“That’s something you never know.”
At Hela’s words, Heimdall burst into laughter as if he was dumbfounded.
“haha! Hey do you really think that’s possible? You believe that mere humans can destroy all the Aesir thrones and open a new world? It’s so funny that it makes no sense.”
“Wouldn’t that be better than believing in nothing?”
Heimdall shook his head and tried to walk past Hela.
However, Hella passed him and blocked his way.
The hand holding Heimdall’s sword extended forward.
It soon took the form that the sword was aimed precisely at Hella’s neck.
Heimdall warned in a subdued voice.
“Get out of the way. I will go to meet the opponent of the prophecy.”
“I cannot send you.”
Hela shook her head resolutely. However, Heimdall did not back down.
“Do you want to die at my hands?”
“You won’t be able to use your power properly in Midgard anyway. I have a better advantage on this side. Do you want to waste your life on pointless bravado?”
“Hmph, in order to kill me, you must also be prepared for extinction, right?”
“If I could kill you with that one life, wouldn’t it be an extra business?”
The corners of Heimdall’s mouth went up. Soon he burst out laughing and shouted.
“good night. If you have the confidence to handle me, where do you go?”
Tsutsutsutsut… … !
Heimdall raised his magic power to the fullest, and released his status.
A mana far greater than the one he used when fighting Hugin.
However, Hella was aiming for now.
‘Now.’
Right after Heimdall used magic. A rope that suddenly floated in the air began to bind Heimdall. It was according to Hella’s plan.
“It would be better not to move. It was a chain made of three non-existent materials that were used for Gleipnir. Even you won’t be able to cut it off easily.”
“… … What a silly joke. Hella.”
Heimdall said so without being shaken at all.
He was with a mischievous smile.
“You can’t hold me for long like this. You should already know, right?”
“I didn’t expect that from the beginning. but.”
Hella smiled.
“It should buy you enough time.”
Heimdall looked at the rope that tied him.
‘It’s not as strong as Gleipnir, but it’s an item with strong binding magic. hella… … It was like that too. He already knew I was coming to Midgard.’
Heimdall raised an eyebrow.
“Mimir’s power. prophecy… … Do you think you can change your fate with that?”
“I would rather ask. Odin’s death is predestined. Asgard is destiny. Do you think you can get away with it?”
“… … It’s fun. yes it is good Do whatever you want. However, once these chains are broken.”
Heimdall paused for a moment, then kept his lifeless eyes open.
“I will kill you first.”
Heimdall’s terrifying words. It felt like I was suffocating.
No matter how much Hela is an existence with a status, she is still an alter ego.
It is impossible to deal with Heimdall unless Hel directly manifests in Midgard.
“I look forward to it.”
After Hella finished speaking, she quickly left the place.
Hela flies through the air and heads somewhere quickly.
Her destination was the dormitory of Miles Academy where Jaehyun was located.
‘Here, no matter how much he is a god, he cannot fully use his power. However, the case of a human who has inherited that power is different.’
Originally, when the beings of each world moved through the world tree, their power was restricted.
The power that can be produced here is about 30% of what it was in the original world.
However, the problem was that no one could block Heimdall’s 30%.
‘The only way to stop Heimdall now is to grow Min Jae-hyeon.’
The other anti-Aesir forces cannot even set foot here due to the treaty they made in the past.
The only thing that can stop Heimdall right now is Jaehyun.
Jaehyun is a resident of Midgard. is human
Even if the power of a god was inherited, it was possible to fully use that power.
‘I have to force myself to go through the second trial.’
There was only one hope.
antagonist of prophecy.
Except for Jaehyun Min, no one can stop Heimdall.
