Chapter 94: Joint Training (2)

Chapter 94: Joint Training (2)

The smell of alcohol is in the air.

It must have been because the location was near Ulsan.

Lee Seo-ha shifted his gaze.

Towards the student council president.

Her hair was as black as the night sky, cascading down to her waist.

And her eyes shone like obsidian.

She wore the shoulder straps that only the student council president could wear, looking confidently at us, her posture seemingly slumped at first glance.

Remarkable.

I activated my Divine Sight and looked. The Black God Martial Arts strived for a perfect body. Thus, I was confident in my ability to judge physiques.

Black Heaven agreed.

Lee Seo-has body was already a work of art in itself. My physique, honed by Black God Martial Arts, had long since transformed into the heavenly body that every warrior dreams of.

The student council presidents body wasnt slumped. It appeared so only because of its perfection.

Equal or perhaps superior to me.

It must have been because of her innate constitution.

The Elixir of Heaven (S+). And her talent, the Infinite Residue (S+).

Youre staring too intensely, arent you?

Am I?

At Park Woon-hyuks words, Lee Seo-ha wore an awkward expression. How should I put it? Its a novel sentiment.

Just as I was about to take one last look at her, our eyes met. The student council presidents. She glanced at me with a momentarily puzzled look.

If everyone is gathered, line up in a row.

Instructor Seo Woo-jus words had the kids starting to line up.

Ershil stood next to Lee Seo-ha, with Kim Ara and Seo Ga-yeon behind him.

But the atmosphere was strange. There was significant hostility, especially towards the student council president.

-As always, girls are hostile towards those they see as rivals.

-Well, its all thanks to our masters popularity.

Eternal Heaven wagged its tail in agreement.

From now on, we will start the joint lesson. Second-years, teach the first-years what youve learned over the past year, and first-years, use this time to understand what skills you can acquire in a year with a humble attitude.

Instructor Seo Woo-ju sighed internally while speaking.

He had been managing first-years for generations, so he knew how exceptional the talents in the current first-year class were.

I havent seen such raw gems in my 10 years of teaching here.

And according to those who had been here longer, this class was arguably the best in school history.

Some had already become untouchable even to instructors and professors.

Even without considering background or lineage.

There were students who had surpassed the instructors and professors purely by skill. And at the forefront was Lee Seo-ha.

He was more than just overwhelming. When he first saw him, considering his system wasnt martial arts, he had now become a being that even several instructors couldnt guarantee victory against with just martial arts.

Therefore, Seo Woo-ju opposed this training. The first-year level was too high.

Too high for the current second-years to handle. What if the second-years were overwhelmingly defeated by the first-years? Their morale would hit rock bottom.

And once the rumors spread, many of the second-years futures would be obstructed.



Second-year top student. Student council president, Seong Han-byul.

Yes.

She walked up onto the training ground, in front of me, confidently smiling but wary of me with her eyes.

Maybe its imprinted in the memory in a different way.

Thinking that way wasnt too bad.

Ding.



Event Quest: Defeat the mermaids that fled to the coast to escape the nagas.

Nagas caused chaos, disrupting the nearby ecosystem. The merfolk suffered and have come this far.

However, their primary food is humans. Eliminate them.

Reward: 20,000P. Additional rewards depending on the content.



Lucky.

An event had been triggered. It was about time for something like this.

Most of these events indirectly affect all students and cause casualties, but they are also events that allow those with outstanding talents to grow even more.

I shifted my gaze. Through Divine Sight, I saw a distorted background.

Could it be luck?

The distortion in the magical flux meant a powerful entity had arrived.

Then, lets start the duel

It might be better not to.

What do you mean?

The student council president, Seong Han-byul, asked me with a curious look.

Then her expression turned complex as she observed me.

You have good instincts.

I was born with it. But it seems we need to deal with those things first.

Alright. You do know that the students safety is the top priority, right?

Yes. Thats why Ill take on the strongest one and buy some time.

I stepped forward, holding Black Heaven.

No, I mean youre important too.

Yes.

Thats when I recalled why I had liked the student council president. She appeared strong on the outside but was tenderhearted. She remembered those who had died, striving to avenge them or fulfill their wishes.

Well, her appearance played a part too.

Dont worry. Im confident I can handle myself.

But dont push yourself too hard. Youre still a student, after all.

I understood her underlying meaning. She meant that I should value my life more as I was still learning.

The instructors and professors were already preparing to intercept the merfolk.

Even if I stepped in, it would only slightly reduce the casualties.

That wont do.

I stepped forward. There were several reasons. The student council president, Seong Han-byul, had a tendency to think its okay to overexert herself if it means saving students.

And there were points involved.

I needed to earn points.
