Chapter 257
At the same time, he was able to come to his senses, but
Arthur only stared blankly at Seo-joon for a while.
< Instructor... >
Seeing Arthur like that, the mentor quietly approached.
Then he nodded his head as if he understood everything.
< It\'s not the instructor\'s fault. Not only the observer but also the director couldn\'t do anything . Observer and Irina. Those who are called the transcendent above the transcendent. These two were beings that could not be easily met even among transcendentalists. By the way, a mere beginner faced the observer and Irina? < The two of you were also beaten by Kim Seo-joon, but can you say that you are the instructor? It\'s just... it\'s just the first time. Do you think so... >
Face-to-face isn\'t enough, what now?
[...]
Arthur\'s idiot, who came back, went out again.
At the same time, Arthur was certain.
If there is a state even in madness, Seo-joon must be in the state of transcendence.
The so-called transcendent madman.
Arthur was dizzy.
Arthur slowly opened his mouth with Hei, who returned after a long time.
[It will take some time to prepare 5000 trillion. I think I need to borrow little by little from the knights.]
And Seo-joon nodded slowly at Arthur\'s words.
The Knights of the Round Table have a total of 100 members.
It was unknown how much causality Arthur currently had, but he had to borrow 50 trillion out of 5000 trillion.
Of course, I didn\'t know whether to lend it or
not.
It didn\'t matter where the money came from.
[It will take some time, so I will give you the Holy Grail in advance.]
Arthur handed Seo-Jun the Holy Grail right away.
In a way, it was a situation where he had not received Excalibur, but Arthur had no hesitation at all.
It seemed that he was concerned that Seo-joon would change his mind in the middle.
In the process of borrowing causality, it would be difficult if Seo-joon suddenly said that he would not sell it.
It seemed to be a kind of contract payment.
Of course, Seo-joon was taking the risk of gulp the Holy Grail...
but I didn\'t think Seo-joon would do that.
In the first place, Seojun also had no intention of doing so.
< ...... Isn\'t it? >
Why did the mentor stare at me meaningfully, but it\'s true.
I definitely take what I get, but I never cheat.
in that sense.
“If you do this, you know that 500 billion won in value added tax will go out once more, right?”
[That... what does that mean?]
Arthur tilted his head.
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
Arthur\'s class and lectures were priced at 500 billion an hour.
And the unit and lectures were paid in advance.
In a word, I had to pay 500 billion won in advance to meet Arthur for an hour.
That is, when you make a transaction next time, not now.
I had to pay 500 billion won again to meet them.
and.
“As I said, VAT is borne by the consumer.”
[...]
Arthur was speechless once again.
At the same time, Arthur was once more certain.
also.
It was clear that Seo-joon was a transcendent madman.
[... Okay.]
Arthur nodded with a trembling expression.
Thus, the final price of Excalibur is 5001 trillion including Holy Grail + VAT.
Arthur left the place with a dizzy spirit.
It hasn\'t been 1 hour yet...
but when I checked, there was about 31 minutes left.
Converting 500 billion per hour into minutes is 8.3 billion per minute.
In other words, 257.3 billion evaporated.
Seo-joon would have been trembling normally, but not this time.
As I said before, the VAT was borne by the consumer.
Arthur left 257.3 billion like that.
< Seojun Kim is really... >
At the same time, the mentor murmured quietly.
Before long, put your hand on your waist! He raised it and looked at Seojun and shouted.
< Really, you are the most crazy person in all dimensions!! >
His expression was also very dignified,
showing that he would never accept a refutation.
Well...
I kept listening to that, so I thought so.
Seo-joon, leaving behind his screaming mentor, was fiddling with the Holy Grail that had been handed over to him by Arthur.
The Holy Grail, which contained the Holy Blood of Jesus.
And it was the spear of Longinus that Seo-jun was using that drew the holy blood.
To be precise, the spear of Longinus pierced the side of Jesus hanging on the cross, and
it is said that this Holy Grail was the one containing the blood of Jesus that flowed through the spear of Longinus.
Woo woo woo woo...!!!
Perhaps because of that, Longinus\'s spear was vibrating violently.
Also, according to tradition.
The last owner of the Holy Grail was not Jesus, but his disciple Joseph.
To be precise, it could be said that the original owner of the Holy Grail was actually Joseph.
It is true that the Holy Grail belonged to Jesus, but
after the Last Supper, Jesus himself gave the Holy Grail to Joseph as a gift.
‘But that\'s what a great voice had.\'
Of course, this was also a guess...
“Hmm...”
My thoughts started to get a little complicated.
And is it because of those thoughts?
‘Looks like I\'ll have to start soon.\'
Seo-joon was able to intuit that the time had finally come.
There was a reason he received this Holy Grail with that intention in the first place.
but.
‘This is how it happened. Let\'s start by looking at the functions of the Holy Grail.\'
Not right now.
Seojun pushed that thought aside for a moment.
Usually, the Holy Grail was the king of artifacts related to sacredness.
Even this is the real Holy Grail that Jesus used.
It was clear that it would have a tremendous effect.
Seo-jun took out a small water bottle from the kibisis after a moment of thought.
Because you never knew what kind of situation would come,
the minimum necessities were always stocked in Kibisis.
Seo-joon poured water into the Holy Grail.
With a gurgling sound, the Holy Grail filled with water in an instant.
‘Looks like there\'s nothing special about it.\'
Seo-joon stared blankly at the water in the Holy Grail.
Then, he suddenly drank the water contained in the Holy Grail.
and.
“Ah...!”
An indescribable refreshing feeling dominated the whole body!
‘Is this crazy?\'
Seo-joon opened his eyes wide and looked at the Holy Grail.
The water in the Holy Grail was ordinary water.
Common water sold in the market.
However, the moment it was contained in the Holy Grail, it seemed to become holy water.
That would be too.
Whoaaaaaagh!
It was because I felt the power of magical power even in a small way.
Similar effect to when taking elixir.
“It’s a perfect elixir maker?”
Seojun\'s eyes widened.
Of course, the effect was negligible.
To be precise, compared to Seojun\'s Samdanjeon bowl, he didn\'t even send a message.
However, the fact that ordinary water is changed into holy water without any conditions.
Considering the cost performance and effectiveness, it was nothing short of crazy.
Seo-Jun filled the Holy Grail with water again.
And the moment you want to take another sip.
< Me too! Give me a sip too! >
shouted the mentor, struggling with his short hands.
He must have been curious about the taste after seeing Seojun\'s expression.
Seo-joon let out a smile.
And he stopped while handing the Holy Grail to his mentor.
‘Can I give this to someone else?\'
Of course, transcendence items were basically imprinted by the owner.
Items sold at the transcendent shop cannot be transferred, and
transcendental weapons cannot be used by anyone other than the owner.
‘But it\'s a crafted item made from the Holy Grail, so it doesn\'t matter?\'
Seo-joon asked his mentor about the question that came to mind.
“Can mentor-nim drink this?”
< Uh... Maybe it\'ll be okay? >
Then the mentor looked worried as if he wasn\'t sure.
“How can it be dangerous, but would you like to try it?”
< Um... >
I thought for a moment to see if the mentor was also worried.
< Yes! >
But the mentor nodded vigorously, probably out of curiosity.
Seeing such a mentor, Seo-joon smiled.
What did Seo-joon personally experience?
There was no death from the aftermath of the imprint.
It hurt a little, but it didn\'t cause any major problems.
Still, it would be unreasonable to use the Holy Grail directly.
Seo-joon poured the water from the Holy Grail into an empty bottle.
Soon after, the mentor took the bottle and immediately brought it to his mouth.
and.
< ......!!! >
Suddenly, the mentor\'s eyes began to widen.
Then, like a child sucking on a bottle, he did not take his mouth off the bottle.
In an instant, the water in the bottle decreased.
< Kyaa...!! >
Mentor let out a cool exclamation.
And then you shake your head!
< Ha, one more drink please!! >
he shouted at Seo-joon with an ecstatic expression on his face.
I even started to struggle with my short arms...
I thought the effect of the imprint didn\'t activate for the result made from the Holy Grail, even if the taste was second.
‘If that\'s the case... there are infinite ways to use the Holy Grail, right?\'
I didn\'t even have to go far.
None other than Beserk\'s heart.
It was a transcendent item that changed ordinary water into holy water.
If this Holy Grail is used in the process of refining Beserk\'s heart...
‘How many times does it increase its effectiveness?\'
I thought I should give it to the three elixir makers as well.
< Quick, please! I feel dizzy!! >
Seo-joon gave another bottle of holy water to the struggling mentor.
Then, after taking a sip,
he put it in the kibisis.
With this, Excalibur has roughly resolved the situation.
Now it was my turn to get counseling from the lecture....
That was then.
“Seojun!”
I heard a voice calling Seo-joon from somewhere.
none other than far away.
Seoyoon was anxiously looking for Seojun.
Somehow... I thought something had happened, but I guessed roughly what it was.
And did the mentor also discover Seoyoon\'s appearance?
< Kyaa...! >
Then the mentor exclaimed and continued.
< Then I\'ll come back a little later. Anyway, consulting Kim Seo-joon\'s lecture... Actually, I\'m having a hard time right now. The progress of the lecture is close to transcendence... > < Above all, since you are not an ordinary first-year student, I think you should listen to the director\'s opinion on what kind of lectures you should take more here. >
I want to report it to General Manager Thoth! >
Seo-joon nodded slowly.
It was also before he had received the 5,000 trillion deposit, and
Seo-jun also did not have the energy to attend lectures right now.
More than anything.
“I just had something to do.”
Because Seo-jun also had to start preparing slowly.
In many ways, getting counseling right now didn’t seem very good.
“Then, while asking the director for his opinion, would you also ask instructor Jecheon Daeseong?”
< Instructor Jecheon Daeseong? >
Seo-joon nodded.
“I completed Cheonwol Yuseongchang and Sinchang Hapil. Please ask if there is anything else to learn after that. You can make it yourself.”
< Uh... Then Cain and Gwa really go crazy on a super-universe level... Ah. It doesn\'t matter anyway. No matter how long the cause and effect has been. >
Seo-joon smiled and
the mentor shook his head.
“Please tell me that it is possible to bet against each other!”
< ...... >
Mentor was at a loss for words.
So little time passes.
< Okay! I\'m going! >
Byeong!
As always, mentors.
It disappeared from sight in an instant.
“Seojun is here.”
And almost at the same time, Seoyoon approached Seojun.
“By the way… Who was there just now?”
While doing so, Seoyoon looked around.
Apparently, I overheard a conversation with my mentor.
Of course, it seemed that he was not sure because only Seo-joon had heard the mentor\'s words.
Seojun shook his head slightly.
“no. Who is it?”
“It is strange. It seemed like they were having a conversation...”
Seoyoon looked puzzled.
Seo-joon moved straight ahead.
“Everyone will be waiting for you, so let’s go quickly.”
“yes yes?”
Then Seoyoon started to panic.
“Do you know what happened?”
Eventually, he followed Seo-jun and asked, but
Seo-jun only smiled.
#
The place I arrived with Seoyoon was an entrance to Kuzan Village.
It was where the rebels were stationed.
There, the team members and Que-Ku.
Numerous rebels were huddled together.
They gathered around someone, but
when Seo-joon approached, they all bowed their heads and opened their seats.
Seojun also lowered his head slightly and moved on.
The first thing I saw was South African President Acudo Apo lying on the floor.
But was it treated so that he would not die?
It looked better than when Seo-joon checked last time.
Of course, it literally just looks better than it did then.
The overall condition was still miserable.
It seemed that he had been treated just enough not to die.
And the rebels looking at Akudoapo.
There was intense anger in their eyes.
oh oh oh oh!
The anger was so intense that the sin of anger inherent in Seo-jun reacted.
Considering the pain they went through, it was a very natural reaction.
If it hadn\'t been for Cueco,
he might have been torn limbs right away.
Seo-joon calmed down and suppressed his raging anger.
How can you suppress your anger like that?
“We, South Africa… have lived in pain for so long.”
Queku\'s voice came from somewhere.
South Africa\'s representative hero of cataclysm, Queku.
There was an unknown emotion on his aged face.
“I thought a lot. In my heart, I wanted to tear it to death right away, but I didn\'t think I should kill it so vainly. Exactly... we didn\'t deserve it.”
Queque bowed her head.
Queque rises in rebellion against tyranny.
His purpose may have been right, but
it was not without wounds.
The massacre in the village of Kuzan now.
Things that would not have been done if the rebels had not been stationed.
Can we really say that QueQu is not responsible?
What is the difference between Acudo Apo and himself?
It\'s no different that people sacrificed anyway.
It wasn\'t their fault, of course, but
Queque and the rebels couldn\'t think of it that way.
‘Territory political interests. Things like this... people like us don\'t know that. It\'s just that we... we just want to live quietly.\'
justice and conviction.
Because, as always, the damage to noble things belonged to the innocent.
Dawn regained without losing hope.
The brilliant sunlight illuminated the sky in South Africa, but
ironically, the scars left during the night were more clearly visible.
“I… I don’t know what to do.”
Cueco was at a loss.
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
“It\'s not Que-ku\'s fault.”
Queku still had no answer.
Seo-jun could fully understand Que-ku\'s heart.
But it wasn\'t Queco\'s fault.
No matter how many people were harmed by Cue Que, Cue
Que\'s actions were not wrong.
Because Queque was truly a cataclysmic hero who moved for the citizens who suffered and were oppressed by tyranny.
If Cuequ doesn\'t move, tyranny and oppression will only get worse.
Someone had to move.
which one is right
Which is bad.
It was something I just couldn\'t put into words.
It\'s just that the pain they\'re experiencing in different positions is now intertwined.
Even this situation would not have been created
if there had been no pain in the first place .
So...
“I\'ll step in.”
I had to root out the source of that pain.
At Seo-jun\'s sudden words, everyone including Cue-ku looked at Seo-jun.
Seo-jun, the strongest hunter of mankind in name and reality.
I wouldn\'t know if it was in the past, but now Seo-joon\'s position was not something I dared to ignore.
Every single word Seo-joon uttered was not an exaggeration, but enough to shake the world.
“Please use my name to gather reporters from all over the world. There, I will inform people around the world about the reality of South Africa.”
Akudoapo\'s tyranny.
Innocent citizens of South Africa who have suffered and been sacrificed in the meantime.
and.
“Even the atrocities of the Jinrihoe.”
“......!!”
“......!!”
“......!!”
At Seo-jun\'s words, Que-ku and the Dream Team members.
The numerous rebels around were greatly surprised.
Seo-jun\'s words that he will reveal the atrocities of the Jinrihoe.
It was because he meant to turn Jinrihoe into a thorough enemy.
To people, Jinrihoe was still known as an organization for the salvation of mankind.
The number of followers of the Jinrihoe alone reached a whopping 100 million units.
one individual.
No, any organization or country.
I did not dare to turn Jinrihoe into an enemy.
Because I couldn\'t handle the power of Jinrihoe.
That\'s why the heroes of Cataclysm could not easily take action even though they knew the truth to some extent.
Again, he only looked at the truth meeting.
But not anymore.
Not exactly as much as Seojun.
Humankind\'s strongest hunter Seojun.
Even the Jinrihoe could not carelessly name the name Seojun.
Of course, you can\'t just do it carelessly.
It was like turning hundreds of millions of believers into enemies.
It was like one individual fighting against the whole world.
But it didn\'t matter.
There was no reason to hide back any longer.
I didn\'t even want to hide.
Seo-joon decided to make it clear at this press conference.
Because now is the time
The origin and cause of all these things.
Manipulating everything behind the scenes wearing a mask of hypocrisy.
“I intend to destroy the Jinrihoe.”
A war against the Jinrihoe.
