Episode 24. Rebellions(3)
8.
“Selina took it down.”
“huh?”
Selina looked at me with an expression like, ‘Why are there all these guys?’
But the water had already been spilled, and the teachers’ eyes turned to Selina.
“Are you sure?”
“I was the one who struck the final blow, but… … .”
The principal spoke without even listening to everything Selina said.
“Of course, that’s right. “Selina took it down.”
When I saw the principal who didn’t believe me when I told him that I, an F-class student, had defeated Behemoth, but immediately believed him when I told him that Selina had defeated him, I thought that it would not be easy to change the perception.
Selina glared at me, and I shrugged.
I was just telling the truth.
In any case, the important thing now was not to change my perception of teachers, but the important fact was that Rebellions were walking around disguised as teachers at Awakening High School.
‘Teacher Han Ji-woo’s identity was an awakened member of Rebellions… … .’
It was a shocking fact.
‘Now that I think about it, I was wondering how the Rebellions invaded during the graduation ceremony… … . There was a spy inside.’
A book that helped Taehoon Ji summon Behemoth.
There was a high probability that teacher Ji-Woo Han had prepared that book as well.
“Come on, it’s too late. “We will have to investigate the book that Ji Tae-hoon mentioned, but since there are no casualties, we will investigate the rest tomorrow.”
The other teachers responded that they knew what the principal said, and only then were we able to be released from the teachers.
Before letting us out, teachers Joo-Hyuk Kang and Ji-Woo Han approached us.
“First of all, I hope you don’t tell other students about what happened today.”
I answered what teacher Kang Joo-hyuk said.
“all right.”
Although it was a summoned animal, if it was known that a monster-level summoned animal had appeared at school, it could cause an uproar.
When I answered that I understood, Dabin Hwang and Selina silently nodded.
When teacher Kang Joo-hyuk stepped away as if he had finished speaking, teacher Han Ji-woo spoke next.
“Taehoon, from now on, I will only use my talents when I am teaching.”
Ji Tae-hoon responded to Teacher Ji-woo Han’s words with a puzzled expression.
“yes?”
“Like this time, there may be cases where summons that you cannot handle appear again, so I am asking you to refrain from using your talents until you can completely control the summons.”
“… … yes.”
“Do not worry too much. How I deal with summoned animals. “I will teach you well.”
As she said that, Teacher Ji-Woo Han looked at me, not at Tae-Hoon Ji.
Teacher Han Ji-woo, who made eye contact with me, smiled.
After seeing that fake smile, I was able to realize how to deal with Teacher Ji-Woo Han.
There was a tooth for a tooth, a lie for a lie.
“all right.”
“Yes. That will be fine. See you all tomorrow then.”
So we were able to say hello to the teachers and come out of the auditorium.
On the way out and back to the dormitory.
Hwang Da-bin said as he saw Ji Tae-hoon’s drooping appearance.
“cheer up. “I heard that Teacher Han Ji-woo teaches well.”
Ji Tae-hoon nodded at those words and looked at Selina and me and said.
“sorry. You are in danger because of me. Especially Lee Si-woo. eight… Are you okay?”
I raised my arms as if Ji Tae-hoon’s words were indifferent.
“are you okay.”
Although it was unexpected, there was an unexpected harvest.
Obtaining the ‘summoning’ talent and discovering the identity of teacher Han Ji-woo.
It was clear that this would be of great help in my future actions.
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
“ah!”
When I lifted my arm and saw the gloves on my hands, I remembered that I had come out for a moment to get the gloves and shouted at the kids.
“Sorry, guys! “I’ll go first!”
9.
When I returned to the training room, I heard Yoo Ah-ram scold me for being so late, and I told them about what happened outside.
There was something I wanted to discuss with Jeong Ju-won, so I gave them as detailed an explanation as possible.
It’s been a long time since I forgot teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s request not to tell the other students.
“I can’t believe something like that happened…” … .”
“Defeating Behemoth, that’s amazing.”
After hearing what the two said, I gave all the credit to Selina and asked.
“Anyway, Joowon. What do you think of ‘that book’ Ji Tae-hoon mentioned?”
Joowon Jeong listed the information he had heard from me and began to analyze it.
“Someone took care of Ji Tae-hoon. “Is that what you want to say?”
It was also Jeong Ju-won.
“that’s right.”
“Even so, it’s strange. Let’s say someone had a hand in Ji Tae-hoon. But what benefit does the criminal gain by doing that?”
If there is a cause, there is an effect.
Jeong Ju-won was talking about that.
The benefit the criminal gains by causing trouble at school through Behemoth. Jeong Joo-won didn’t seem to be able to specify what it was.
I also started to worry because I was having doubts about what happened during the midterm exam.
The reason why the criminal summoned Behemoth at this moment.
What is that?
While I was thinking about it for a while, Yoo Ah-ram suddenly spoke.
“Anyway, it’s a shame. “If I had filmed that and uploaded it to each tube, it would have gotten a lot of views.”
Yoo Ah-ram, a member of the cult, was a Gaktuber who regularly updated videos on YouTube, or Gaktube for short, exclusively for awakened people.
At those words, I looked at Jeong Ju-won as a thought suddenly occurred to me.
The benefit the criminal gains from summoning the Behemoth.
Because I remembered what it was.

“You failed this time because of a girl named Selina?”
A man wearing a black mask spoke to the man kneeling on one knee in the hologram.
“sorry.”
The masked man spoke in response to the words of Wu Jihan, the man kneeling on one knee.
“Who said it would be better to target Sai when Yunmir’s value has fallen?”
“sorry.”
“No, there is nothing to be sorry about. I guess I was unlucky this time. “You might fail at least once, right?”
Wu Jihan bit his lip at the masked man’s words.
The word of a masked person is law.
There was an unspoken pressure that there would be no next time.
“Just as planned, make sure to get that kid noticed by other guilds during the midterm exams.”
“all right.”
At Wu Jihan’s answer, the hologram disappeared.
Woo Ji-han, or rather, Han Ji-woo, the teacher at Awakening High School, muttered as he pinned his knee.
“It’s a midterm exam… … .”
Until then, we had to make Ji Tae-hoon as famous as Yoon Mir.
That was the order from Rebellions.
Han Ji-woo thought of Selina. The first priority was to clear away distractions.
10.
There was a commotion, but perhaps because it happened after all the students had left school, not many people knew what happened yesterday.
“Well, midterm exams are just around the corner. Today there will be a theory class in preparation for the written exam. “I hope everyone enjoys this teacher’s theory class.”
“yes~”
After finishing morning assembly, Kang Joo-hyuk headed to the principal’s office.
This was because Principal Won Tae-jin finished the assembly and called several teachers.
“Oh, Hi, Mr. Kang!”
On the way to the principal’s office, Kang Joo-hyuk looked surprised when a foreigner with waist-length blonde hair spoke to him.
“Ah, you were Teacher Catherine.”
“Hey, Mr. Kang, are you surprised?”
Catherine looked like she was happy and started walking close to Kang Joo-hyuk.
“I was a little surprised. By the way, is Miss Catherine also going to the principal’s office?”
“Ah yes. “I heard you had something to talk about.”
Kang Joo-hyuk, who saw Teacher Catherine tilting her head, remembered that Selina’s personal tutor was Teacher Catherine, and nodded.
Looking at their reactions, it seemed like they didn’t know that Selina had defeated Behemoth yesterday.
“Maybe it’s because of what happened yesterday.”
“Yesterday?”
Kang Joo-hyuk said to teacher Catherine, whose eyes were shining brightly and who had a curious expression.
“yes. Yesterday, Miss Catherine, one of her students in charge, a student of hers named Selina, did a great job.”
“Are you Selina?”
“Yes, I think it would be better to go inside and talk about the details.”
Kang Joo-hyuk and Catherine, who saw teacher Lee Hyun-sook loitering in front of the principal’s office, joined her and entered the principal’s office.
Inside, the principal was sitting along with Ji-woo Han, the personal guidance teacher in charge of Ji Tae-hoon.
“I’m sorry for asking you to come when everyone is busy.”
“No, but for what reason…” … .”
“Oh, first I have to tell you about what happened yesterday.”
Teacher Ji-Woo Han stepped forward and explained to Teacher Catherine what happened yesterday, and upon hearing the explanation, Teacher Catherine said with a surprised expression.
“Selina defeated Behemoth in one blow?”
“Yes, I say so.”
After hearing Teacher Han Ji-woo’s words, Teacher Catherine poked her temple with her index finger and thought of a question mark.
“Hmm, is that possible? The flames that kid wields probably won’t be enough to take down the Behemoth in one blow… … .”
The moment I heard those words, why did I think of the scene where Lee Si-woo defeated Yoon Mir?
Kang Joo-hyuk thought that with that level of attack, he might have defeated Behemoth in one blow.
“Now that you think about it, I wasn’t in a hurry yesterday so I couldn’t ask, but will a first year be able to defeat Behemoth on his own?”
In response to Teacher Hyunsook Lee’s question, everyone looked at Teacher Catherine.
As she was Selina’s personal tutor, it seemed like her opinion would be important.
“No no no, it’s impossible. If that monster is the A-level monster we know, Behemoth, then what about Yoon Mir, who entered school at the top of his class? “If it weren’t for that student’s talent, he wouldn’t have been able to take him down.”
“Then who defeated Behemoth?”
At those words, all the teachers in the principal’s office fell silent.
***
Something like that happened yesterday, and even though it was awkward, the class continued.
“Come on, midterms are just around the corner! Everyone, please come to your senses and listen. “You know that the written exam is based on theory, right?”
“yes… … ”
Also, most of the students answered with a drooping voice when they heard the word exam.
Midterm exam.
The first real exam of Awakening High School, known as the mecca of exams, is just around the corner.
It’s already been two weeks since I entered school.
I took a quick look around.
Selina is looking at the teacher in front of me with an expressionless face.
Dabin Hwang is looking at teacher Lee Roun with an enthusiastic expression at the front.
After taking a quick glance at Jeong Ju-won, who was scribbling something, and Yoo Ah-ram, who was looking at his smartphone without the teacher knowing, I stared at Hwang Da-bin, who was particularly passionate.
Because I was curious why they were so passionate.
At that time, I heard Teacher Lee Roun’s voice.
“Then let’s start the class from the most basic. 30 years ago, there were heroes who brought peace to a destroyed world. What should we call those heroes?”
“Hero of the Seven!”
I muttered to myself as I watched Dabin Hwang passionately answering Teacher Lee Lok’s question.
‘Now that I think about it, he was a saint.’
