Episode 23. Rebellions (2)
5.
[I was physically attacked by an awakened pet. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. Receive the awakened talent. Add the talent ‘Summon’ to the slot.]
As I looked at the system message that appeared in front of me, I suppressed the urge to open the status window and check the transferred talent, and calmed down Selina who was making a fuss.
This kind of hurt was minor compared to what I got.
By the way, this is the technique that Selina used a little while ago.
That’s definitely… … .
“Selina, the technique you just displayed… … .”
“Ah, I saw Dabin doing it and I tried practicing too.”
I muttered when I heard those words.
“After all, geniuses are… … .”
“huh?”
“Oh, no.”
I didn’t realize it because it was buried by Yoon Mir and Hwang Da-bin, but Selina also had a talent that was no different from a genius.
‘No. Ji Tae-hoon, Yoo Ah-ram, and Jeong Joo-won… … .’
All of them, the protagonists of Part 2 of ‘Ise’, had talents that were no different from geniuses.
I once again muttered to myself, ‘Everyone cha cha cha’.
Because in this episode, I had to watch the ending with such talented friends.
“Ugh, how many times are you going to get hurt?”
“Teacher Hyunsook Lee?”
At that time, teacher Lee Hyun-sook saw that I was injured and came to me.
I looked around and saw the teachers. It seemed like the teachers who were still in school came out.
Instead of using a potion, teacher Lee Hyeon-sook took out a medicine from a cylinder and applied it to my arm.
Then, strangely enough, I felt the numb feeling disappear.
“It’ll be okay now.”
“thank you.”
“But what happened?”
At Teacher Lee Hyun-sook’s words, I turned around.
Ji Tae-hoon, who had collapsed, came into view.
Now was not the time to sigh while looking at geniuses.
‘The timing has been delayed. ‘Those guys have already entered the school.’
Until recently, there was no way Ji Tae-hoon, who could only summon hamsters, would suddenly be able to summon Behemoth.
That meant that someone had manipulated Ji Tae-hoon.
And that someone was clearly a member of Rebellions.
6.
Rebellions.
As you can tell from the name, they are a criminal group called the rebels of the awakened ones.
After the world turned into an apocalypse, the awakened people who had lived as ‘hunters’ by raiding monsters held a grudge against the Seven Heroes for closing the gate.
One day, they suddenly became awakened, gained talent, and rose in social status by making it their business to catch monsters.
If he had lived like this, he could have lived a life of wealth and fame above other people, but when the Seven Heroes closed the gate, his way of making a living was blocked.
The group formed by several awakened people who held a grudge against this was the Rebellions.
“So, you just fought the Behemoth summoned by Ji Tae-hoon. “Is this it?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
I knew that the trickster was the Rebellions, who were at odds with the seven guilds, but there was no way to prove it.
Therefore, I had no choice but to answer the teachers’ questions in this way.
“I think we’ll know the exact truth only when Ji Tae-hoon wakes up.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk spoke to me.
“For now, let’s wait for Ji Tae-hoon to wake up. What is important now is that student Lee Si-woo defeated Behemoth. Rather, how was student Taehoon Ji able to summon Behemoth? Because it is.”
As the other teachers took their attention away from me and turned their attention to Ji Tae-hoon as teacher Kang Joo-hyuk organized things, I bowed my head to teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
Teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang looked at me and nodded slightly, and I took my eyes off Teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang and looked into space.
When others see it, it will look like you are blanking out.
Of course, I wasn’t just staring blankly into space.
I was looking at the status window to see how the ‘Summon’ talent would activate.
When I clicked on the transferred talent window, seven slots appeared in the air.
[Transferred Talent](6/7)
-Buff (0/1): You can apply 3 types of buffs for 5 minutes.
-Hwaryeong (0/1): You can summon the ‘Spirit of Flame’ for 5 minutes.
-Diamond Buddha (0/1): When you hold your breath, your whole body can be turned into a Diamond Buddha.
-Yonginhwa (1/1): Can transform into Yongin for 5 minutes.
-Baktu (0/1): For 5 minutes, you can become a master of baktu.
-Summon (1/1): You can summon ‘Behemoth’ for 5 minutes.
-Empty slots
Before I knew it, six slots had been filled.
‘Is it really ‘Behemoth’ that can be summoned with the summoning talent?’
Even though the summoning talent was transferred, it did not mean that any monster could be summoned.
This was a fact that I confirmed in advance during the second round.
I wouldn’t have known if I had been hit directly by Ji Tae-hoon, but since I was attacked by a monster summoned by Ji Tae-hoon, the number of monsters I could summon was limited to ‘Behemoth’.
And summoning a Behemoth and dealing with it were two different issues.
‘If I’m going to deal with Behemoth, I think I’ll need that woman’s talent as well.’
The woman who fought with Hwang Da-bin during the Battle of the Bans. With her talent, it seemed like she would be able to handle Behemoth well when summoned.
Thinking that the useless talent, Diamond Bull Ingot, would be the first thing to be deleted once all seven slots were full, I began to worry about what to fill the remaining slots with.
“are you okay?”
Hwang Da-bin asked me if he saw me like that, and I nodded.
“Oh, other than being a little tired, I’m fine.”
My body felt stiff, probably because I used Hwaryeong and the buff together.
Still, I guess the training had an effect and I didn’t faint right away.
“Hmm.”
At that time, Ji Tae-hoon’s moans were heard, and all of us became alert.
Because Ji Tae-hoon was waking up.
“W-this place… … .”
“Are you coming to your senses?”
Principal Won Tae-jin, who was watching Ji Tae-hoon next to him, said when he saw Ji Tae-hoon wake up.
“Ah yes.”
“The aftereffects of the reverse summoning were quite severe. It’s not even a regular summon, but a class A summon. “Can I find out what happened?”
It was a pretty straightforward question for a student who had just woken up.
Ji Tae-hoon, who shook his head to come to his senses, began to explain to the teachers how he came to summon Behemoth.
***
Personal instruction time.
Ji Tae-hoon, who chose second-year teacher Ji-woo Han as his personal instructor, took a class from teacher Ji-woo Han on how to handle summoned animals, and then headed to a deserted auditorium for private training.
“Hmm, I guess this will be enough.”
The reason Ji Tae-hoon headed to such a deserted place was because he didn’t want anyone to see him summoning a beast.
because.
“Summons!”
Pop!
-What?
What was summoned was a cute hamster.
“Ha, why can’t I just summon these guys?”
The only pets Ji Tae-hoon can currently summon are small animals and pets such as hamsters, hedgehogs, rabbits, and squirrels.
The largest animal was a dog.
During the last test, it was these small animals that faced Behemoth. At the time, Behemoth didn’t have any insignificant attacks, so I was able to survive with these small summons.
The small peppers were spicy, so these small summons were able to use their own skills, and those skills were enough to annoy the Behemoth.
“What’s the problem…?” … .”
It was strange.
It was a ‘summoned’ talent with a talent grade of A.
There was absolutely no way it would be possible to summon such a poor summoned beast.
Ji Tae-hoon, who was looking at the hamster while muttering like that, was suddenly surprised to see the hamster running somewhere.
-Wow!
“Hey, where are you going?!”
Ji Tae-hoon, who was quickly chasing the hamster, tilted his head when he saw the hamster spinning around on top of something.
That was because that action was an action that said, ‘Listen to this.’
“What is this?”
As the hamster intended, Ji Tae-hoon picks up the object the hamster was sitting on and realizes that it is a picture book.
“picture book?”
When I opened the book, there was a nice drawing of a Behemoth.
“It’s a Behemoth.”
Upon seeing Behemoth, Ji Tae-hoon thought that he too would like to summon a beast like Behemoth someday.
‘Then you can summon it.’
As I thought about that, there was a voice in my ear.
“huh?”
At first I thought it was an auditory hallucination.
‘Behemoth, you can summon it using that book. try.’
In response to that questioning voice, Ji Tae-hoon held up a book, thinking of Behemoth, thinking that he had no choice but to get his money’s worth, and shouted ‘summon’.
-Meow~
Then the book disappeared and a cat appeared.
“uh?”
Because it was his first time summoning a cat, Ji Tae-hoon looked at the cat with a curious expression.
However, Ji Tae-hoon soon saw the cat smiling and felt goosebumps.
The cat’s smile was exactly like the Behemoth smile I saw in the book.
7.
“So, you’re saying that I summoned it after reading a book and Behemoth came out?”
“yes.”
“The cat suddenly ran away, so you went to catch it and climbed onto the railing?”
“yes.”
The principal looked embarrassed at Ji Tae-hoon’s answer.
If you look at the conclusion, it was simple.
“So, to sum it up, the new student summoned a Behemoth-level beast.”
“So you’re saying that the same freshman reverse-summoned him again.”
There was a teacher next to the principal who was watching me with an interested expression.
My name is Han Ji-woo.
He was Ji Tae-hoon’s personal tutor.
“What do you think, Teacher Han?”
“First of all, I think we should investigate the source of the book. Taehoon cannot summon Behemoth yet. “Maybe later, but I don’t think it’s possible right now.”
The principal seemed to trust Teacher Han Ji-woo’s words.
I looked at Teacher Han Ji-woo, who was talking to the principal.
I had heard the name of Teacher Ji-Woo Han many times, but in my two lives, I had never met her.
There were quite a few teachers whom I didn’t actually see in person.
While thinking this, I looked at Teacher Ji-Woo Han with an indifferent expression, and with the activation of my eye, I inadvertently looked at the status window floating next to Teacher Ji-Woo Han.
‘huh?’
[Woo Ji-han]
-Title: Tamer of Darkness
-Talent: Taming
-Grade: Class A
-Characteristic: False
The name that appeared in Teacher Han Ji-woo’s status window was someone else’s name.
My pupils shook when I saw the name floating in the status window.
The name Wu Jihan was a name in my memory.
Member of Rebellions. Tamer of darkness, Woo Ji-han.
Teacher Ji-Woo Han was a member of the criminal group Rebellions.
“Hmm, I still can’t believe it.”
The principal turned to me and muttered.
“If a real Behemoth had appeared, there’s no way that student would have only suffered minor injuries like that, right?”
I think I thought I was muttering softly, but I heard it all.
At that time, there was someone defending me.
“Don’t you remember the principal? This is the student who defeated Yoon Mir. Isn’t that right, Student Lee Si-woo?”
“… … .”
That’s true, but when I found out Ji-Woo Han’s identity, I didn’t really like the fact that this person was defending me.
Because I had a feeling that there must be some ulterior motive.
“Isn’t Yunmir letting his guard down and reverse-summoning Behemoth a completely different problem?”
As the principal continued speaking again, everyone in this room started looking at me.
“We definitely fought Behemoth.”
Selina spoke coldly, but the teachers looked like they couldn’t believe it.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk came forward with those words.
“Lee Si-woo, answer me. “Just tell me how you defeated the Behemoth.”
Anyway, I just defeated it and reverse summoned it.
ah.
Suddenly remembering that it wasn’t me who had delivered the final blow, I turned to Selina and opened my mouth.
