Chapter 75: Crisis of the Ignis Guild (5)
The whole world was astonished.
The battlefield of Yeoncheon being transmitted beyond the screen.
"It's all over. It ans even S-Ranks are no match."
"At this rate, they'll all die."
"This isn't just Korea's problem. We could be next."
Not just South Korea, but people all over the world watched the screen in anxiety and fear.
Inside the screen, Ignis Guild Master Cho Sang-geun and Vice Guild Master Lee Si-wang had fallen miserably.
Unlike Yeoncheon where a disaster was unfolding, a peaceful place.
Taewoon High School Year 2 Class A classroom.
Unlike Yoo jin who was nonchalantly conducting class, most students were watching the situation in Yeoncheon with smartphones hidden under their desks.
Unlike the light class, the faces of the Class A students were growing paler and paler.
While doing so.
"Aaaah!"
"Ah!"
As the sight of the Ignis Guild collapsing was captured on the screen being broadcast in real-ti, the children scread simultaneously.
"What is it?"
Yoo jin, who was looking at the blackboard, turned his body and captured the students in his eyes.
From the children in the front row to the children in the last row.
Even though Yoo jin was looking at them, they were all fixing their eyes only under their desks.
"What are these things doing during sacred class ti?"
Yoo jin slowly moved his steps and approached where the students were.
Hands neatly gathered under the desk entered Yoo jin's view.
To be precise, the smartphone screens held in those hands.
"……."
Yoo jin was about to say sothing, but swallowed his words with a small groan.
Because it entered clearly through that small screen.
The appearance of Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang fallen covered in blood all over their bodies.
Following Yoo jin's moving gaze, children taking the sa posture as this child could be seen.
Probably not just this classroom, but this entire Academy City, no, to be precise, the entirety of South Korea would be capturing this sight in their eyes.
With miserable feelings.
At that mont, a student who t eyes with Yoo jin was startled and dropped the phone.
Then.
[Currently, it is confird that more than half of the Ignis Guild mbers have died, and there are no healers remaining.]
Whether the sound turned on as it fell, the voice coming from the smartphone filled the classroom.
[Reinforcents are an urgent matter. Please send reinforcents. The Association, guilds, overseas, anywhere doesn't matter. Anywhere watching this screen…… zzzzt―.]
Whether it was a broadcast error or a signal problem, loud chanical noise flowed out instead of a voice.
The student who was the owner of the smartphone quickly picked up the phone and lowered the volu.
The gaze of the student swallowing dry saliva t with Yoo jin standing alone.
"……."
The student, stiffened like a stone, avoided Yoo jin's eyes and lowered their gaze.
The atmosphere of the classroom sank in an instant.
Normally, he should scold them for looking at smartphones during class or give a punishnt, but.
Yoo jin couldn't say any words or take any action.
Yoo jin, wearing a coldly sunken expression, turned his body and approached the blackboard again.
"Put away your smartphones, everyone. It is class ti right now."
The children who were gauging the mood started to turn off their smartphone screens one by one and push them into their desk drawers.
At that mont.
"Teacher!"
Jin-ho couldn't hold it back and sprang up.
However.
What entered the eyes of Yoo jin, who turned his body from the teacher's podium, was not Jin-ho but Kang Tae-wook.
Two gazes eting in the air contained each other without an inch of retreat.
"……."
Jin-ho, who was capturing that appearance, was surprised and couldn't close his mouth.
Not because he was beaten to the punch, but because he didn't expect Kang Tae-wook to step up at all.
Like that, Kang Tae-wook spoke first.
"The Ignis Guild didn't go because they wanted to go. My father, no, the Association President ordered it. Because they hid a Returnee."
The inside of the classroom stirred in an instant.
There was surprise that the son revealed the shaful secret of his father, the Association President, but also because the word Returnee that followed was too heavy.
Yoo jin's expression hardened.
At Kang Tae-wook's unexpected help and Yoo jin's expression that seed full of thoughts.
Jin-ho and Ye-na, who t eyes, stood up from their seats and raised their voices as if thinking this was the ti.
"Teacher should help!"
"That's right. I'm not trying to bla you, but Teacher is also related to Ignis becoming like that."
Seong-hyeon, who stood up unavoidably because his friends all stood up, mustered up courage and spoke.
"I don't know well, but wouldn't there be a part where they tried to protect Teacher too? Seeing how they went by themselves without even asking for help……."
They didn't know the exact inner workings, but the students in the classroom also had the sa thought.
Firstly, because the power of Yoo jin they had seen until now was too overwhelming.
Since he was strong enough to beat an S-Rank recently.
And secondly…….
The faces of the disciples in the classroom were all captured in Yoo jin's eyes.
Expressions of children dyed desperately.
"……."
Only one person, the student called the Model Student, was making a calm expression.
Yoo jin felt puzzlent looking at that child for a mont.
However.
Without even a mont to think about that child.
"Please help, Teacher!"
Jin-ho's voice struck Yoo jin's ears.
Yoo jin let out a sigh and clicked his tongue.
"No, how many tis do I have to say it. I told you I'm a teacher, not Ignis Guild."
"You're friends!"
"That sound again…… That guy and I are……."
Jin-ho couldn't hold back and shouted with tears welling up.
"You're friends! Friends! Mister Lee Si-wang was always next to Teacher."
Yoo jin's expression stopped for a mont.
Even Ye-na and Seong-hyeon agreed with Jin-ho's words.
"If not friends, then what!"
"That's right! You even made him the Assistant Horoom Teacher!"
At the disciples' voices, Yoo jin stared into the void.
As if looking at sothing only he could see.
Kang Tae-wook's voice rang low as if driving a wedge.
"That…… well…… ahem. Who was the person who said that to beco the best Hunter, you have to get along well with friends……."
For a mont, the corners of Yoo jin's mouth went up slightly.
‘Eun-ho, a teacher learns from disciples sotis too.’
Yoo jin turned his body abruptly and grumbled.
"Ay, the mood to teach class completely disappeared. Gosh, why do kids these days talk so much to a teacher."
Yoo jin wrote letters largely on the blackboard.
Clack!
Clack!
Clack!
And then turned his body toward the window.
The gazes of the children who were making depressed expressions while shedding tears headed toward the blackboard.
Small smiles blood around their mouths.
[Self-Study]
***
Blue Dragon Guild Headquarters.
Guild Master Kim Cheol-gu couldn't hold back upon seeing Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang who were on the verge of death and put on his clothes.
"Where are you going, Guild Master?"
"Yeoncheon."
"What?! You're going to Yeoncheon, now?"
Just why?
It's a mont where the 3 Great Guilds could beco the 2 Great Guilds.
"I can't just stay still when my rival ended up like that."
Two Team Leaders blocked the front of Kim Cheol-gu heading for the door.
"Don't stop . Even if you guys stop ……."
"We know. You're going anyway."
Kim Cheol-gu's raised eyes ca down.
"So, let's go together."
Kim Cheol-gu's lips trembled.
"Why are you guys……."
"No, the boss is going, so how can we not go?"
"We are n."
"It's fine, I can go alone. If you go, you will definitely die……."
"Ha really, then we can't send you alone even more."
The rest of the executives t each other's eyes, and soon stood up following him while laughing.
"Ah, t the wrong boss so I'm going to die without even getting married."
"Will we be able to save them?"
"Even if we all go, it's probably impossible?"
Even while saying that, they flocked to the Guild Master's side.
"Ah, but Guild Master, if we die, one of the remaining 3 Great Guilds over there will monopolize dungeons, is that okay?"
"Wasn't it originally a Korea monopoly anyway? We are all just bridesmaids."
"Right. It was the Association's and President's anyway, right?"
"Hahaha."
When the executives were throwing jokes and preparing to set out, the fact-bomber stuttered while looking at the screen.
"Uh…… excuse , sorry to interrupt the heartwarming atmosphere but……."
Everyone's gazes focused.
"Soone appeared on the cara here?"
"It's all over……."
Through caraman Kim Chun-sik's gaze, the fallen Lee Si-wang and Cho Sang-geun were seen.
Battle seed impossible anymore.
A few Ignis Guild mbers fighting small giants were seen, but the morale of soldiers whose generals disappeared broke quickly.
"Senior……."
Kim Chun-sik captured his senior, who was now dying coldly, in his eyes.
‘Film until the end. Show until the end. The heroes…….’
Clench.
Kim Chun-sik, who clenched his fist, made a determined expression.
And with the cara angle fixed on Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang, he voiced out.
"Viewers, the Ignis Guild fought until the end. However, it seems Yeoncheon probably cannot be turned back. I will deliver the news from this place until the very last mont."
His voice shook due to many emotions.
"Even if everyone dies, I will capture it on cara until the end. The warriors who died for us, the Ignis Guild!"
Grind.
"I will not run away until the end……. So……."
The cara angle began to shake.
Bottom of despair.
From there, Kim Chun-sik shouted while sobbing.
"So…… please help. Whether it's the President or an S-Rank from another country or a Returnee…… please…… help……. Our heroes dying like that…… save…… ……. Please…… please……."
He dropped his head.
At that mont.
"Excuse for a mont."
Soone passed by Kim Chun-sik's side.
"Uh……."
Leaving the flustered Kim Chun-sik behind, the newly appeared man moved his steps towards where Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang were without hesitation.
As if he was the only person who didn't know this place was hell…….
Like that.
Yoo jin crossed the battlefield.
Arrived in front of the fallen Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang.
"What is this? Are you having a picnic?"
Lee Si-wang was astonished.
Because sothing he couldn't believe even seeing with his own eyes unfolded in front of him.
"Why are you……."
Yoo jin shrugged his shoulders as if annoyed.
"The disciples whined so much I ca unavoidably. Friends, what freezing to death friends, ha……."
Cho Sang-geun discovered Yoo jin and burst into laughter while coughing up blood.
"You ca."
"Seems you knew I would co?"
"I knew. To be precise…… I trusted Si-wang."
Lee Si-wang's eyes shook.
"Ahem."
Yoo jin let out a fake cough as if embarrassed and spoke bluntly.
"Gosh, so cringey. It's not because of this guy? I told you it's because of the kids."
"Right…… whatever it is, that you ca is important……."
"Hey, you don't believe my words, right. I said I really ca unavoidably because of the kids."
At Yoo jin's voice, Cho Sang-geun was only raising the corners of his mouth while unable to even open his eyes properly.
On the other hand, Lee Si-wang still couldn't accept what happened in front of his eyes.
Just why?
The Returnee.
Here.
This hell.
Why…….
At that mont.
It entered accurately into his half-closed eyes.
Yoo jin's face smiling brightly.
"Still, it's a relief you didn't die."
Lee Si-wang's vision blurred.
Cho Sang-geun could only now let go of his consciousness comfortably.
At that mont.
Thud!
Thud!
Massive giants with runes embedded in their chests flocked in front of Yoo jin.
Yoo jin captured such giants in his eyes and then.
"Wait, you guys are second."
Yoo jin, who finished speaking, looked around and discovered the cara facing him.
"Oi, brats, now, don't worry and do self-study well."
And then added lightly.
"I have to teach class but don't bother by making things like this. If you have sothing to say, say it directly to . Don't bully weak kids like these. End of statent."
Precise hand gesture.
The targets he called weak kids were Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang.
"Ah, I missed one thing."
He spoke one last ti towards the cara as if he suddenly rembered while turning his body.
"My na is Yoo jin. I am a Returnee."
