Side Story Episode 10 – The First Disciple…?(1)
“······ yes?”
For a moment, Carl felt a sense of being dumbfounded.
That’s what Seo-joon just said.
Because I couldn’t understand the meaning of the words.
Carls asked Seo-jun again just in case.
“Who are you going to see…?”
“It’s Aren.”
And at the determined words of Seo-joon that followed, Carls got out of the way.
Aren, who said that he would go to meet Seo-joon.
Aren, as the emperor’s magistrate, was, simply put, the ruler of the dimension, the emperor, who reigned over him.
If the emperor is the ruler of the dimension,
Aren is called the guardian of the dimension and has been serving as the emperor of the empire for a long time.
And according to Carl’s long experience, Aren was not a being that he could meet just because he wanted to.
Even if the emperor wanted to meet him, he was an existence that he did not easily meet.
There is only one case where Aren shows up.
Aren, it was only when he personally visited the imperial palace.
But what now…
“Where was Aren’s residence…? I don’t know where it is because I teleported.”
Of course, he wasn’t someone I could go out to meet like I’d go out for a drink in the neighborhood!
Of course, Seo-joon was not an ordinary person.
A being who received a letter of recommendation from none other than Aren.
At the same time, he was also considered to be Aren’s close friend.
So it doesn’t make sense, but… is that really possible?
Carls couldn’t easily believe that fact.
The other day, when Cals went to see Aren on the pretext of the subjugation party.
To be honest, I was half-hearted.
To be honest, I assumed that I would never be able to meet Aren.
But that was the only way left, so I just went with the feeling of catching straw.
That’s why when Seo-joon gave Aren’s letter of recommendation, he was astonished.
“ah! Carls. The last time I met you for the first time Actually, you said you were going to meet Aren, not to subdue him, right? Does she know where Aren lives?”
Soon, at Seo-jun’s words, Carls suddenly came to his senses.
I could see Seo-joon’s bewildered eyes through my gaze.
“I know, but…”
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Carls couldn’t open his mouth easily.
That would be the case, though Carls knew Aren’s whereabouts, but he could only guess the approximate location.
If you go to that location, Aren’s judgment will determine whether you can meet him or not.
Even this was a fact that Kals was able to know because he had the status of the crown prince.
Others, even Vettel, were unknown.
can i say this?
Maybe I’m just walking in vain?
“That, that’s…”
Carl’s mind went into confusion.
#
After a long thought, Carls told Aren’s whereabouts he knew.
Even if you don’t say it anyway
It wasn’t even Seo-joon who wouldn’t visit Aren.
From the beginning, Carls had no other options.
where it was reached.
It was near the place where Seo-joon was chased by the money bug tree the other day.
“I think it’s about this…”
Seo-joon looked around and looked around to see Aren’s place.
Carls looked at Seo-jun impatiently.
This is also the place that Carls knows as Aren’s residence.
As I said earlier, this was not actually Aren’s residence, but a place where those who wanted to visit Aren came.
And until now, Aren has not appeared.
That means one thing.
Aren said that he had no intention of meeting Seo-joon.
As expected, no matter how Seojun was, he couldn’t easily meet Aren.
“I… will die now and come back later…”
Carls spoke to Seo-jun very carefully.
“wait a minute. It must have been around here…”
But Seo-joon didn’t seem to think so at all.
How should Cals do this?
I have to tell the truth even now, but I am in serious trouble.
“Um… do I have to knock to say I’m here?”
<What if we blow the collapse of the world coolly? Then I think you’ll be back soon.>
“Then what if Aren’s dwelling is blown away along with the forest here? And in my current state, I cannot withstand the reaction of the collapse of the world.”
<Hmm… that’s a bit unfortunate.>
The mentor seemed to be really sorry, and he let out a snort.
And Carls, who was quietly listening to their conversation.
“·······”
For a moment, Carl felt like his mind went blank.
What is the collapse of the universe?
What is it that can blow up this vast forest?
No, and where on earth do you think that’s a knock?
“It’s impossible for the form, but if it’s about the formula… I think it’ll be fine. Shall we try it?”
<Oh! Then only this area will be bad. I can’t wait this long, so let’s try it!>
It was as if I had heard something…
And something… it seemed like something great was about to begin.
Carls couldn’t understand what was going on, but he couldn’t let it go like this.
“That, that’s the truth…”
Just as Carls dissuaded Seo-jun,
Just when I was about to tell the truth.
“what? Are you here soon?”
Suddenly, a strange voice came from somewhere.
It was a sudden voice that didn’t even feel the presence of him, and didn’t bother Carls, the sword master.
For an instant, Carl’s body stiffened.
And I slowly turned my head and looked at it.
Long downed blonde hair and distinct features.
The owner of such beauty that it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a woman or a man.
The emperor’s maestro,
An existence called the guardian of Astelgia.
“I thought it would take a little longer… what is it?”
Aren was slowly walking towards us!!
“This, this, this, this, this…!”
Carls went mad for a moment and started to run amok.
A shock that didn’t even let out a word invaded his whole body.
Really… It was really Aren.
The existence in front of my eyes was really Aren!!
“Uh, uh, uh, uh…!!”
Carls didn’t know how to accept the current situation.
And whether or not he knew Carl’s feelings.
“Why are you so late?”
<We were debating whether or not we should cast Destruction because they didn’t come!>
Seojun and Mentor only reprimanded Aren.
Wait, reprimand Aren…?
Carl’s mind went out of his mind at the sight of the two of them.
“Wait, I was out. By the way, if everything collapses… are you referring to the Cheonwol Yuseongchang that instructor Jecheon Daeseong made for Seojun Kim?”
<Yes! It seemed that Aren-sama would come if we cut out a forest!>
What makes a mentor so dignified?
He put his hand on his waist and nodded vigorously.
At the sight of such a mentor, Aren said with an absurd look.
“If you get lost in a single forest, you’re lucky. Maybe I’ll get caught up in it and die… Hmmm?”
At the same time, Aren was able to discover a certain being.
“Uh, uh… uh, uh, uh…!”
I was able to find Carls, who was in shock and astonished, almost out of breath, almost fainting.
“This one?”
“Ah, Monk Carl is the crown prince of the empire.”
“The Crown Prince?”
At Seojun’s words, Aren tilted his head for a moment.
And after thinking about it for a while, it suddenly seemed like it came to mind.
“ah! Is that the kid you saw then?”
He clapped his hands and opened his eyes wide.
“I didn’t recognize it because it was all I saw so long ago.”
And Carls, who watched Aren like that.
Carls was frightened and hurriedly became polite.
“Bo, the crown prince of the Volunw Empire, Carls von Volunw, welcomes the noble Taesa of the Empire!”
Aren gave a small smile to Carls.
“You don’t have to be so polite.”
“Oh no! How could I ask the Emperor of the Empire…”
Carls was restless as if he didn’t know what to do.
“by the way···.”
Aren looked at Carls like that, then slowly turned his gaze to look at Seojun.
“Are you already in touch with the crown prince?”
“What… why? And didn’t you write a letter of recommendation for that?”
“That’s right, it was, but… I didn’t expect things to go this fast.”
<It’s been a while since you sold Aren’s name, right?>
“You sold my name?”
“I didn’t sell it… I got a little help. ha ha ha.”
Seojun scratched the back of his head and covered his mentor’s mouth.
“There was no need to write a letter of recommendation in the first place.”
Aren shook his head as if it were Seojun.
“So what did you come to see me for? There’s no way you’ve already gathered enough cause and effect—”
“I’ve been collecting them.”
“······ yes?”
For a moment, Aren wondered if he had heard it wrong.
However, Seo-joon’s expression when he looked at him didn’t look like he was lying at all.
“·······”
Aren didn’t even know how to react to this.
Aren’s ‘sufficient’ causation.
In fact, only words were ‘enough’, but the concept of ‘terrible’ was included in it.
In a word, it was not a cause and effect that could be solved with one or two things.
But you’ve been collecting them?
in this short time?
“I haven’t gathered all of them, but I’ve gathered enough to get some of my power back. And I have something to ask.”
Apparently, not all causality was necessary.
Just like Seo-jun said, he was able to regain some of his lost power.
But even that fell into the category of ‘terrible’.
“What is that…”
Aren turned his gaze back to look at Carls.
Then why?
“That… that’s…”
Carls began avoiding Aren’s gaze.
It seemed like there was something complicated going on.
No, I thought I could roughly figure out what was going on.
Aren shook his head again.
“Let’s change seats.”
Damn-!
At the same time, a clear sound is heard.
Before long, an unknown energy began to surround Seo-joon, his mentor, and Carls.
Seo-joon did not resist the force.
and momentarily
Whoaaaaagh!
For an instant, Seo-jun’s vision reversed.
#
The first thing that Seo-joon saw with the vision reversing again was a certain room.
Overall, the room is spacious, clean, and has a warm atmosphere.
It was a room that felt like the house of a great sage living alone away from the world. It was none other than Aren’s residence the last time.
“Hey, is this…?”
As I was looking around Aren’s room, I suddenly heard Carl’s voice.
Carls looked around with a bewildered expression.
Seeing Carl’s like that, Aren said with a small smile.
“This is where I live. It’s shabby, but you can sit in a comfortable place.”
“Taesa-nim’s residence…?”
Then, Carl’s expression was dumbfounded.
“M, M, M, GOD!!!!!”
Before long, Carl’s expression began to show amazement, shock, and a little fear.
It seems to be facing a reality that cannot be faced.
Or maybe it’s the glory of the world.
Carls hardened in place as if he had become a stone statue.
<Oh! It’s Medusa’s instructor-level petrification ability, right?>
Seeing Carl’s like that, the mentor approached him with gunfire.
Then, he pricked Carl’s entire body.
But is it really a stone statue?
Carls really didn’t show any reaction.
Mentor continued to beat Carl as if he was having fun.
Seojun looked at the two of them and said to Aren.
“As you can see, Aren’s position here is enormous. It is unbelievable that he is simply the emperor’s teacher.”
“Well… Seojun Kim did something similar to Seojun Kim’s level. But since it was so long ago, I’m sure I’ll forget it… That kid is a bit unusual.”
Aren shook his head and answered.
Looking at the reaction of the nobles, it seemed that Kals was not particularly unusual, but Seo-jun did not bother to ask about it.
Because that’s not what’s important now.
“Can I get some of my strength back?”
“May I check the cause and effect you’ve gathered?”
Seojun immediately lifted the kibisis and poured out the contents inside.
Patter.
Then the gold poured out endlessly, and it stopped only after creating several piles.
Literally a huge amount of gold.
“Really… you’ve collected an incredible amount in that short amount of time.”
Aren looked at the pile of gold and Seo-jun alternately with a blank expression.
“How much can I get back with this?”
Seo-joon’s question continued.
Aren continued to think for a while, then slowly opened his mouth.
“I’ll have to try, but I think I can get at least 10% back.”
“10% cotton…”
It was able to withstand the reaction of the universal collapse.
The truth that I realized at the end – the destruction of all things was impossible.
However, a pure type 1 cataclysm would have been able to be cast without difficulty.
“hmm···.”
After organizing his thoughts, Seo-joon let out a small saliva.
In addition to the existing 5%, it regains approximately 15% of the power.
Although the power was recovered faster than expected,
In a way, it was a power that was regained more slowly than expected.
That would be the case, too. The money now was the money he had saved over the past few days, even while Seo-joon was sleeping.
How many times have you teleported around the entire empire?
Now, just teleporting was enough to make me vomit.
10% of the power regained with the money collected through such hardships.
Of course, it was a speed that could be fast if it was fast.
Besides, it was also a power that I thought I would never get back.
However, considering the cause and effect of returning to Earth, there was still a long way to go.
‘Above all, I can’t take the royal family’s money indefinitely.’
Seojun was lost in thought for a moment.
And was Seo-joon’s appearance suspicious?
“What are you worried about?”
Aren tilted his head and asked Seo-jun.
“Ah, that’s it…”
Seo-jun briefly explained to Aren what he had just thought.
“Hmm… There are so many causalities that Kim Seo-joon needs. Even more causality is needed as the power to regain it increases…”
Aren looked down as if thinking for a moment.
Then all of a sudden
“Then why don’t you try tutoring that child?”
Aren gave me a meaningful message.
“Do you teach children?”
Looking at Aren, he was looking at a place other than Seo-joon.
Seojun naturally followed Aren’s gaze and turned his head.
And the place I looked at again.
“You mean Carl?”
There was none other than the petrified Cals.
“hot!”
Is it because he suddenly heard his name?
Cals, whose petrification had been released, shook his body.
And looking around, he found Seojun and Carls looking at him.
“What, what… are you doing?”
He shook his body once more.
A figure that could not be seen as the crown prince of the empire.
“hmm···.”
Seo-joon looked at Carls blankly.
Before becoming Crown Prince, Cals was one of the Empire’s few sword masters.
Of course, it was a different concept from the Transcendental Sword Master, but he was more than a hero of cataclysm on Earth.
That’s how Carl’s talent was outstanding.
There shouldn’t be anything frustrating about teaching.
And above all.
‘Then, will I become the Grand Master of the Empire too?’
Seo Jun could also become the Taesa of the Empire.
And to become the prince of the empire.
Seeing how Aren, the current emperor’s teacher, was being treated in the Empire, there was no reason to refuse.
Then, wouldn’t it bring you the money you really have and the money you don’t have?
Also, did Seo-jun look at the atmosphere of the imperial palace?
Carl’s position within the current imperial palace was not very firm.
The reason is that power is also power,
It was also a factor that his skills were inferior to Vettel.
That’s why it was only a matter of time before Kals seized the imperial palace if he could crush it with his skills.
Carl’s status was always the crown prince,
As for the justification for power, of course, Cals had an overwhelming advantage.
If so, all the property of the imperial palace…
In addition, the cost of tutoring Carls…
<Oh! Seojoon Kim, did you finally think of filming a lecture!?>
At that moment, the mentor got angry and shouted.
“Then is that child also a freshman now?”
At the same time, Aren said excitedly.
But are you a freshman?
When Seojun looked at Aren, Aren smiled and said,
“It’s not me, it’s Kim Seo-joon who teaches.”
<I see. Kim Seo-jun is also a clear transcendentalist, so the Carl monk who learns from Kim Seo-jun will naturally become a first-time student. Then Carl’s responsibility was naturally me…?>
“ah···.”
Seojun nodded slightly.
I still couldn’t believe it, but Aren was still a beginner.
On the other hand, Seo Jun was a transcendentalist who stepped into the realm of transcendence.
That’s a transcendental person on the same level as Irina, the director of the transcendentalist academy.
<Anyway, that’s a great idea, Aren! Kim Seo-joon will become a star instructor at our academy in the future! It’s good to practice here before that!>
“I didn’t intend to be that instructor.”
The mentor lightly ignored Seo-jun’s words.
<First of all… lightly, whether it’s Vettel or upset stomach. Shall we design a curriculum to crush that old serpent?>
The mentor approached Seo-joon with a look of excitement.
Then, he almost robbed Seo-joon’s smartphone and manipulated this and that.
The connection to the transcendent academy was still unreachable, but the basic system was available.
<This is like this, that is like this…>
how much time has passed like that
The mentor approached Carls to see if he had created a curriculum.
<The composition is like this, and the price seems to be about this!>
“This crazy.”
And Carls, who checked the price tag, muttered involuntarily.
No, to be more exact, his body stiffened as if he had been petrified again by Medusa.
That would be the price that Carls confirmed.
《50,000,000,000 G》
50 billion gold.
It was about 500 trillion in Korean currency!
Where in the world did tutoring cost 50 billion gold?
This made no sense.
It didn’t even make sense!
But really.
Really why?
“The instructor is a lot cheaper than I thought for Kim Seo-joon?”
Aren, who was watching it, was talking crazy.
It was like he had dared to think disobediently to the Grand Master of the Empire, but Cals didn’t realize it at all.
50 billion gold is not even a dog’s name.
Where can I say that it is cheap!!
<Anyway, Kim Seo-joon is directly here in this dimension. Naturally, there is no choice but to reduce travel expenses.>
“Oh, I see. Somehow, I thought 50 billion gold per hour was free.”
Startle!!!
It was as if Carl’s mind had gone out of his mind for a moment and heard something crazy.
The concept of ‘per hour’ in front of 50 billion gold.
So, you mean 50 billion gold per hour?
Isn’t it just 50 billion gold?
“This crazy…”
Carls couldn’t help but mutter involuntarily.
And Aren’s voice came again.
“While you are doing 50 billion gold, I was going to ask you to teach me a little bit.”
Then, Carls opened his eyes and looked surprised.
“yes yes?? Tae, Taesa-nim… are you talking about it?”
Carls couldn’t come to his senses.
who is aren
It was an existence that raised the emperor, who is called the ruler of the dimension, with his own hands.
Of course, he was an overwhelmingly powerful man who surpassed the emperor.
But that kind of Aren wants to teach me…?
<Ah, Aren-sama can’t. Aren-nim should get 200 times that!>
200 times 50 billion gold is 10 trillion gold.
It was a ridiculous amount, equivalent to a whopping 10 won in Korean currency.
“That would be per hour too, right?”
<Yes! It’s per hour!>
The problem is, that too is per hour.
Not even 1 trillion per hour,
Not 10 trillion, not 100 trillion.
Not even 1,000 trillion.
It sounds like you’re going crazy, but it’s not even a second.
It’s a whopping 10.
He said something that didn’t even sound like he was saying that he would eat 10 cases at a time…
<And it is difficult because the field is different. Aren-nim is specialized in magic, right? It’s a pity, but Kim Seo-joon said that the magic side is a gem disease!>
“That is really unfortunate.”
But oh my god
Aren is missing you!
Not pretending to be sad, really!
“Oh, oh my gosh…!!!!!”
Carls felt dizzy.
No, it’s already dizzying—!
dump.
Carl’s body fell to the floor like a puppet with a string cut off.
It seems that Medusa’s petrification has finally affected her mind.
Mentor approached the fallen Carls with a gun and a foot.
Then, he pricked his side and stabbed him.
<Anyway, you should get used to the causal concept of our transcendent academy.>
He shook his head wildly.
