Before going to meet the beast people, I visited the Seven Heroes.
The seven heroes who occupied the principal’s office at Awakening High School kicked out Principal Won Tae-jin and were using the principal’s office as a hideout.
Now that I think about it, I can’t see any teachers. The moment I thought I should find out, Choi Kang called me.
“Lee Si-woo? “What’s going on?”
When I came to the principal’s office, the seven heroes sitting in the principal’s office started watching me.
“I came because I have something to tell you.”
“Okay, tell me.”
“I would like to hear about your future plans.”
I said this while making eye contact with everyone sitting here.
“plan? “What plan are you talking about?”
“I understand that the Rebellions were destroyed due to the death of the first Rebellions branch leader. So, the action we must take now is to close the final gate again. Isn’t it?”
Everyone nodded at what I said.
“Yeah, you’re right. So, as for the future plan you mentioned, where will you find the key and who will enter the final gate? “You mean that?”
In response to Yoon Ga-on, Choi Kang looked at me.
“Before I tell you our plans, I want to hear why you asked us about them.”
As expected, it was not easy to get an answer.
I brought out the answer I had prepared in advance to the strongest question.
“As I am one of the people who will enter the final gate, I thought it was necessary to make sure that my plan and the heroes’ plans matched.”
At my words, the expressions of the Seven Heroes changed in various ways.
“You have great confidence, don’t you?”
At Yoo Da-hee’s words, I turned on each tube and showed it to everyone.
“You said you were asking people to choose seven people to enter the final gate. “As you can see from the comments, it seems like people want me to be chosen as the first person to enter the final gate.”
At my words, Ban Yi-su, who took out his smartphone and checked the reactions of each tube, checked the reactions to the comments and said.
“wait for a sec… “What you’re saying is, please acknowledge the reactions of people here to their comments?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“why? “What does it say?”
“… Lee Si-woo must decide the seven people who will enter the final gate… … .”
At Kang Moo-seong’s words, the seven heroes gathered here looked at me.
“Huh, really. “You’re bold.”
“So, people want you to choose the other six, so you have to listen to them. “Is this what you mean?”
“That means my talent is special.”
When I put an iron plate on my face and mentioned my talent, Kang Yeon-geum looked at me and said,
“Certainly your talent is a good talent. But with such talent, there must be a penalty, right?”
I had already told Choi Kang about the limits of my talent.
So, I thought the other seven heroes also knew about the limits of my talent, but it seemed like that wasn’t the case.
I looked at Choi Kang with an unknown expression.
Thanks to Choi Kang not telling me about the limits of my talent, I felt like the plan I had prepared would work better.
“Yes, there is. The penalty for my talent ‘transfer’ is that I can only use the transferred talent once.”
I freely revealed the weaknesses of my talents.
6.
“What, was it disposable? “Then there’s no point in choosing the other six people?”
I smiled at Yoon Ga-on’s laugh.
Choi Kang spoke before I could open my mouth when Yoon Ga-on saw my smile frown.
“Instead of being disposable, if you can continuously expose the talent to him, you can use the talents of awakened people around you regardless of the number of times.”
The seven heroes, who understood the meaning of those words, looked surprised.
Then, the use of talent itself varied depending on who was around.
“If that’s the case, then definitely… … .”
“Leaving it to that guy’s choice… … .”
Just as I was about to get a positive response, Choi Kang asked me.
“So Lee Si-woo, who do you have in mind?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me at Choi Kang’s question.
“I’m still thinking about it. That’s why I asked the Seven Heroes about their future plans. “If I don’t have a clear plan, I think I’ll try to move on my own.”
“Moving?”
“The key… “So you found out where it is?”
I shook my head at Ban Isu’s words.
At this point, it is time to warn them.
“No, this incident made me think that I need more allies to fight the demons. There must be a reason why the Rebellions targeted the elves. In relation to this, I am planning to go in search of the beast people.”
“The beast people?”
I finally spoke as I watched the expressions of the seven heroes change in real time, as if they were reminiscing about the past.
“Yes, I plan to gather humans, elves, and beastmen in one place and form a ‘death squad.’”
The expressions of everyone gathered here hardened at my words.
***
“What happened?”
Jeong Ju-won asked me when I returned to the dormitory.
“It was successful.”
I left a warning. By mentioning the truth that has been lost in history, the death squad gave off the nuance of knowing what the seven heroes did.
The reason I gave this warning was to see the reaction.
If there are people who feel even the slightest bit sorry for my father, they will apologize to me on their behalf, and if they want the past to be buried, they will use their hands against me.
The ending that readers want will certainly include revenge on the Seven Heroes.
However, getting revenge on everyone ended up being like I was the one doing it all by myself, like in the second episode.
Compromise was essential to move towards the ending together with everyone.
‘There is no need to take revenge on everyone.’
In the end, the conclusion I have reached is to only deal with those who want to harm me. It was.
This was a conclusion reached because it was not yet clear who was an ally and who was an enemy.
For now, I am satisfied enough with just getting the direction I wanted.
“When does it leave?”
“tomorrow.”
“It goes so fast.”
In response to Jeong Joo-won’s grumbling, I began speaking as if I had just remembered.
“Oh, and I would like to ask you to find out what happened to the guild members of the seven guilds.”
“huh? “Why the guild members of the seven guilds?”
“You’ll find out when you look for it.”
They were rushing to clear the gate, but there was still no news.
It was taking too long for no news to be good news.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
Unlike previous episodes, there were a lot of things to uncover in this episode.
“First of all, let’s start with the beast people… … .”
I remembered the name of the representative of the beast people that Jeongsu Yoon had told me about.
That’s all the information I have about the beast people right now.
‘Rugal. We must find him.’
7.
The next day, after telling Hwang Da-bin and Selina to meet Allen, I went out with Ji Tae-hoon, Kang Ha-rin, Yoo Ah-ram, and Jeong Ju-won.
Yunmir had a disapproving look on his face as he watched me leave.
After leaving a message for Yoon Mir, I came out of Awakening High School with a relieved expression.
“Dad allows me to leave…” “How on earth did you roast and boil my dad?”
I shrugged my shoulders in response to Kang Ha-rin’s question.
I couldn’t tell Kang Ha-rin, but in fact Kang Moo-seong came to visit me at night.
I was promised support by Kang Moo-seong in exchange for my daughter, Kang Ha-rin, being excluded from the list of seven people entering the final gate.
“I guess Hero Kang Moo-seong also recognized you.”
As I watched Ji Tae-hoon defending Kang Ha-rin, I thought that the two of them got along really well.
‘huh? But Ji Tae-hoon clearly loved Selina… … .’
Well, considering that Kang Ha-rin was also hoping for Yoon Mir, he didn’t know what would happen to people’s affairs.
“Siwoo, but if you go there, will there really be beastmen?”
“It must be there because it was caught on video.”
“Hmm, from what I learned in school, I understand that the beast people have an enterprising personality, so why are they hiding?”
At Yoo Ah-ram’s question, I turned to Jeong Ju-won.
This is because this was a topic I discussed with Jeong Joo-won yesterday before going to bed.
“Even the beast people have their own circumstances.”
Just as humans have their own circumstances, each person has his or her own circumstances.
Perhaps the demons could have attacked the beastmen first.
That would create a very difficult situation, but it could possibly be a persuasive factor.
We didn’t tell these guys, but the moment we brought up the story of the death squad, the beastmen might not even have anything to do with us.
Because, the beastmen I met in the first and second rounds absolutely hated humans.
It could have been as different as it was before the two years passed, but if the cause was the seven heroes, it would be the same now and later.
First of all, we planned to move with the goal of finding Rugal, the representative of the beast people.
***
It didn’t take long to get to the place shown in the video.
When the Apocalypse exploded and the missing magic stones were able to be supplied again, the awakened people began to use the systems that had been unused due to a lack of magic stones again.
A representative example was the teleport gate using magic stones.
We moved to the location shown in the video through the teleport gate and were able to arrive at the location shown in the video.
“I think this is the place in question?”
“yes?”
Yoo Ah-ram turned on his smartphone and started filming, and we started searching the surroundings.
“In the video… Surely at this point… … .”
I was looking around the ground while checking the video uploaded on each tube, and at that moment, a being broke through the ground and appeared in front of us.
“human. “You give off the scent of the person I hate the most.”
I was really surprised. When I saw the beastmen attacking me at random, I quickly dodged.
It seemed like I had come to the right place. I looked at the status window of the guy sticking out of the ground.
In order to move the beast people, I had to meet the beast people I was looking for named ‘Rugal’ or find the current representative of the beast people.
“huh?”
“why? “Did you find out something?!”
Hearing Kang Ha-rin’s shout, I looked at his status window.
The status window showed a beast with the face of a tiger.
[Luid]
-Title: King Ho (虎王)
-Talent: Su-gang (獸剛)
-Characteristic: Indomitable Will
“Try training Kang Ha-rin! Taehoon is a Behemoth… … .”
I was about to tell Ji Tae-hoon to summon Behemoth to prepare for an unexpected situation, but I took a stance when I saw Roid charging at me again.
I don’t know why the beastmen became so hostile towards humans, but they had no intention of avoiding a fight.
It didn’t matter if the story was told after the beating.
I launched my body towards the charging Luid.
