Chapter 77: Yeoncheon Liberation
[Yeoncheon, which was a restricted area for 5 years, liberated]
This phrase plastered the headlines of every news outlet.
The entirety of South Korea boiled over as if it were a festival.
“Yeoncheon was really…… liberated?”
“To think I’d see a restricted area being liberated with my own eyes…….”
“They say that teacher called a Returnee ended it in one shot!”
“To think there’s a Returnee in our country, it’s truly a jackpot!”
On every large electronic display board in the streets, the scene of Yoo jin dropping lightning was repeating infinitely.
And in subways, cafes, streets…… everywhere, people took out their smartphones and replayed Yoo jin’s video.
Due to that.
The video view count surpassed 1 billion in just one day.
***
It wasn’t just South Korea that was in an uproar.
“We must not repeat the mistake of losing one to China again. This ti, we must approach first.”
The Japanese Pri Minister bit his lip.
“Ladies and Gentlen, a new Returnee has appeared in Korea. The White House has officially announced—”
In the United States, where CNN breaking news was continuously broadcasting.
“Prepare to form a special envoy imdiately. Do not be satisfied with one Returnee. If both are in Arica, we will beco the overwhelmingly number one nation.”
The US President gave a direct order to the Hunter Association President.
A conference room in the Kremlin Palace.
“Did you say Baenov’s final destination was Korea?”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
“Then it seems the report that ca up last ti wasn’t complete nonsense.”
“Yes. I think so as well. If he had encountered that person, no matter if it was Baenov, he wouldn’t have won.”
“I see.”
“I am sorry to Baenov, but he was a sword that couldn’t be with us anyway. We must approach that Returnee as quickly as possible.”
“Right. Select the personnel and send them. Whatever the money, match all desired conditions and bring him here.”
Russia, which did not have a Returnee, headed to Korea faster than anyone else to deal with the United States.
“We will possess the Returnee this ti as well. Only Great China is capable of possessing two Returnees.”
On the Chinese state-run broadcast, the anchor spoke calmly.
***
A Hunter Hospital located in Seoul.
Ignis Guild Master Cho Sang-geun and Vice Guild Master Lee Si-wang were lying in the VIP room on the top floor.
And there was soone who ca to visit faster than anyone else in the middle of the ward.
“I did the work, so why does it feel like you guys are getting the treat?”
Yoo jin grumbled while looking at the sparkling VIP room that one wouldn’t think was a hospital room.
“What is this, is even the fruit free? I wondered where my taxes went, turns out they were leaking here.”
Yoo jin’s mouth fell open as he took in the mini-fridge in one corner of the room.
“It’s not free, the Association supported it. Even the hospital room.”
“Isn’t Association money tax money? It’s all taxes.”
“Well, that is true but…… more than that, what brings you here? Coming all the way for a sick visit.”
At Lee Si-wang’s voice, Yoo jin took out a banana from the fridge and peeled it.
“Well, today is a day with no classes. And I have sothing to receive from you guys.”
“Sothing to receive?”
“Do I dig the ground to live? I’m a teacher, a teacher. I even skipped class to go out and save you guys, so naturally, I should receive a reward.”
“That is true but…….”
Lee Si-wang’s stiff eyes turned toward Cho Sang-geun.
Cho Sang-geun slowly closed his eyes and nodded.
It was correct.
Whatever happened, Teacher Yoo jin liberated the restricted area that was the country’s headache.
In addition, he saved Cho Sang-geun and Lee Si-wang, who would have originally lost their lives.
And the remaining forces of the Ignis Guild.
Saying no reward would be given to such a benefactor didn’t make sense in the first place.
Well, since the incident was such a major event, the size would be large, but.
“Didn’t the Association side contact you? They must have tried to contact the Returnee using the reward as an excuse…….”
“Oh, it ca. Directly from that Association President, the Wily Raccoon or whatever.”
“…….”
Lee Si-wang’s eyes shook.
Cho Sang-geun, who was listening silently, raised his body halfway.
“They said they would give a blank check for the reward money, telling you to write whatever you want. Instead, they asked to et and talk. Association registration procedure? They said so strange things about a down paynt.”
Cho Sang-geun’s expression sank.
It ended up like this eventually.
No, it should have been like this originally.
Hiding the Returnee.
Trying to intercept him in the middle.
It was the Ignis Guild that did that.
The whole world.
No matter where you looked.
Only a country and the Association subordinate to it had the power and capital to contract with a Returnee.
The atmosphere in the hospital room sank rapidly.
The only thing heard was the chewing sound of Yoo jin putting the banana in his mouth.
Munch munch.
Like that, the light in Lee Si-wang and Cho Sang-geun’s eyes faded.
The train to hell that went to Yeoncheon was only the first punishnt.
Because they knew well that countless punishnts to drag down the Ignis Guild were waiting after this.
Munch munch.
They couldn’t say anything.
Munch munch.
Just making expressions of resignation…….
.
.
.
“So I told him to get lost.”
?????????????
Countless question marks floated on the faces of Lee Si-wang and Cho Sang-geun, who had been making dead expressions.
“Why on earth…….”
“What do you an why.”
Yoo jin, who finished one banana, threw the peel into the trash can and scored.
“Because I was in class.”
Lee Si-wang and Cho Sang-geun’s mouths fell open at Yoo jin’s voice.
A hundred billion?
No, probably even if he wrote in the trillions.
The Wily Raccoon.
The Association would have accepted it.
Because he is a Returnee.
Because he is a Returnee.
Even if it was an astronomical amount, they would have prepared it sohow.
They would have granted every desired condition.
In order not to lose him to another country.
To possess Yoo jin who had the power of a god, incomparable to any Returnee that had appeared until now.
However.
“Calling during holy class ti. Does he want to die?”
Treating the world’s most expensive contract like a spam call, Yoo jin took out a second banana.
He is a crazy person.
They knew he was crazy originally, but.
They didn’t know he was this crazy.
They said they would give him everything, yet he kicked it away…….
But.
“Puhahahahaha!”
Cho Sang-geun burst into laughter loud enough to make the hospital room ring.
Since he hadn’t recovered from his injuries yet, he felt pain all over his body just by laughing, but he couldn’t hold it back.
“As expected, you are a crazy person. Hahahaha.”
At that sight, the face of Lee Si-wang, who was right next to him, hardened.
There was the reason that he hadn’t seen the smiling face of his superior, Cho Sang-geun, in several years, but the biggest reason was.
Because he used the expression ‘crazy person’ right to the face of the Returnee called the Demon King.
“Guild Master…….”
Lee Si-wang, who was looking at Cho Sang-geun, turned his head to look at Yoo jin.
Gulp.
Perhaps surprised himself, Yoo jin stopped the banana he was bringing to his mouth right in front of his lips and was staring blankly at Cho Sang-geun.
Seeing that, Lee Si-wang’s brain spun fast as cold sweat began to trickle down.
Oh Lord.
He had no religion.
But right now, he wanted to find anyone.
Because he couldn’t even imagine what would happen after this.
Through the laughter that filled the hospital room, a low voice followed.
“You really seem like a crazy person…… for the students.”
Yoo jin’s eyes shook.
In his view, it wasn’t the face that always maintained a lofty formality.
Because an expression like a young child was ford.
“So now I think I know for sure. Why you refused the Ignis Guild’s proposal at the first eting….”
Transcendent.
The strongest Dealer.
Korea’s Hunter Ranking 2nd.
Success and strength.
Position.
He had everything, but because of that, he was crushed by everything.
Cho Sang-geun revealed a genuine smile for the first ti.
“You have the power of a god that can have everything you want, whether money or a country, but…… what suits you best is, as expected, the seat of a teacher.”
Yoo jin’s face captured in Cho Sang-geun’s view.
Behind that Yoo jin’s face.
The first eting with Yoo jin ca to mind.
‘I don’t make deals with guys who lack the basics.’
‘If it weren’t for this kid, none of you would have made it out alive.’
‘Perhaps this might move my heart more than a hundred billion.’
‘Please reinstate .’
After that, the second.
Third.
Fourth.
Scenes ca to mind.
Right.
He was consistent.
He didn’t change.
This person, from the beginning.
Never wavered even once.
“I won’t ask you to be with the Ignis Guild anymore. How much you… no. How necessary Teacher Yoo jin is to the students. Because I have learned how important the students are to Teacher Yoo jin.”
Sothing that existed nowhere else in the world.
A real teacher was in front of his eyes.
***
Ten minutes later.
The VIP room.
Where there was emotion and hope.
In that place.
“Hehehehe!!!!!”
Laughter rang out.
“Euhahahahahaha!”
Not just laughter, but laughter full of ridicule.
That teasing laughter.
Yoo jin was laughing to the point of shedding tears.
Pointing his finger at Cho Sang-geun.
“You were like a movie actor! Hahahaha! Ah! It’s so cheesy! Hahaha!”
Like a mischievous elentary schooler teasing a friend.
Yoo jin attacked the lying Cho Sang-geun.
“‘Because I have learned how important the students are to Teacher Yoo jin.’ Pfft! Puhahahahaha!”
Yoo jin grabbed his stomach and collapsed on the floor.
“Ah, my stomach hurts! Save !”
Unlike such Yoo jin.
“…….”
Cho Sang-geun, whose face had turned bright red, couldn’t spit out a single word.
Just bowing his head and biting his lip.
Dark history.
Youthful folly.
That is, a disgrace worse than the dark history from 11 years ago encroached upon Cho Sang-geun’s entire body.
Goosebumps rose all over his body.
He wanted to kick the blanket covering him all the way to the ends of the sky.
If he could turn back ti, he wanted to go back.
To ten minutes ago.
To before the ti he said those touching words to this crazy Returnee.
It didn't matter if he lost everything.
He wanted to go back.
However.
“Euaaaa! I think I’m going to go crazy! Save ! You acting cool keeps popping up in my head! Ah, it’s a touching story but ah, it really doesn’t suit you! Hahahaha!”
Yoo jin rolling around the hospital room while grabbing his stomach.
Because of that, Cho Sang-geun had no choice but to bow his head even further.
“Ah, I want to die.”
In the ears of Cho Sang-geun grabbing his forehead.
“Pfft…….”
A new laughter entered.
His head moved like a robot.
In his gaze.
“…….”
He saw Lee Si-wang barely holding back laughter while biting his lip.
“I wish the earth would end.”
It was the day of Cho Sang-geun’s greatest humiliation.
***
Sa ti.
The office where the President of South Korea is.
The President sitting alone in a chair looking at sothing.
A docunt placed on one side of his desk was seen.
Many letters were written, but what stood out the most was.
[Yeoncheon Restricted Area Liberation Reward Procedure]
― Returnee refusal.
― First eting failure.
Plan to attempt second approach within a week.
It was two things.
Perhaps having already checked the docunt, the President didn’t even place his gaze there.
The place where the President’s gaze had stopped was.
“Strike.”
Crack!
Bursting the barrier of Yeoncheon, made by gathering only the talents among talents, like a balloon in an instant.
And the monsters that even S-Rank Hunters couldn’t catch a single one of.
The video of the Returnee erasing four of them from the world in just one second.
Even though he had already replayed it dozens of tis.
The President had no choice but to keep replaying this video.
Even while being called a dictator.
Even while losing colleagues and loved ones.
The 3 lives he had fought alone.
“Perhaps…… if it is this person…….”
The President thought that this fourth life might be different.
