Chapter 130
Sae-Jin the Orc beseeched Kim Yu-Rin with alerting the rest of the world about that white bird, then climbed aboard the pulley-operated platform.
"We, uh, we are going up."
The two Knights charged with the rescue operation began operating the platform while stealing glances at the Orc. Or, more correctly, at his defensive and offensive armaments. Even a single, casual glance could tell them those were all first-rate items that easily aroused their desires, even if they didn't want to.
The Orc wordlessly tossed pairs of wrist guards and gauntlets at them. The Knights studied each other's expressions and then, the one carrying the spear took the wrist guards, while the dude with fists as weapons took the gauntlets.
Using his fists - one of these Knights used his hands as weapons. There was a golden emblem 'Jin' etched on his chest armour, so it was safe to assume this guy was one of the 'inheritors' of Jin Seh-Hahn's ideals.
"…T, thank you very much."
Both Knights expressed their gratitude after receiving these sudden gifts. And at roughly the same time, warm sunlight could be seen above their heads.
"We'll return to the surface in around ten minutes. Please be patient for a little while longer."
"I understand." (Kim Yu-Rin)
Kim Yu-Rin faced the rescuers with an officious and dignified attitude. The Orc snorted at a just-loud-enough decibel that others might hear him. She frowned slightly after hearing his ridicule and promptly turned all of her attention towards the two Knights. It was the breakout of her jealous streak that wasn't even a real breakout.
"By the way, it seems like you are from the Jin Mudo school?" (Kim Yu-Rin)
"Oh. Yes, I converted around nine months ago, although I lack in many areas."
"But, you're a upper Mid Tier already only nine months after the conversion - your talent must be exceptional." (Kim Yu-Rin)
"Hahah… thank you for your kind words, but that isn't the case. I simply studied and copied a handful of instructors, that's all. And as luck would have it, this style really suited my tastes and talent level well. My Trait also helped out a great deal."
Jin Seh-Hahn - a man who became a High Tier posthumously, acknowledged as the Highest Tier as far as his fame was concerned, and already a part of the greatest honour known to Knights, the Hall of Fame.
And now, over a hundred thousand disciples around the globe were busy pursuing the path of the martial arts Jin Seh-Hahn had gifted this world, and over a thousand among them had chosen to wield fists after putting their weapons down.
All these people fervently studied, reviewed, tempered themselves and trained hard while watching the films containing Jin Seh-Hahn's movements. To them, Jin Seh-Hahn would remain forever their true instructor.
Because he was so generous with shooting lots of footages for educational purposes, his invaluable martial arts style, such as his battle sense, punching and movement technique, etc, could be preserved in full, being the guiding light for all the future generations.
In other words, the traces of a hero had been deeply engraved into the world's psyche.
"Is that how it was? Your teacher was truly a praiseworthy man." (Kim Yu-Rin)
Kim Yu-Rin nodded her head respectfully.
"……"
The Orc silently scratched his nose. He was inwardly feeling a bit embarrassed by the fact that the existence of Jin Seh-Hahn, an identity he created in order to achieve one of his goals, was able to influence the world far more greatly than he'd ever anticipated.
Before long, the platform finally arrived at the surface. As this was a High Tier hunting ground, there weren't many onlookers and not one reporter present - with the obvious exception of thirty-odd Knights and Wizards. They all gulped nervously after seeing the Orc and his huge Wolf.
"…Are you going n
ow?" (Kim Yu-Rin)
As soon as the Orc climbed on the back of Cornlak, Kim Yu-Rin asked in a miserable voice.
The Orc lightly nodded his head, then signaled to his ride.
Kwahck!!
Cornlak jumped off the platform and into the sky, disappearing from the view almost immediately.
And Kim Yu-Rin watched the back of departing Orc with a pair of lonely eyes.

As soon as he returned home, Kim Sae-Jin had to hear an earful from Yu Sae-Jung. After angrily declaring "I'm also not ing home for a whole month!!
