chapter 18
18. Golden Generation (1)
“Vice President.”
Cecilia Freire, vice president of Iroas Academy, hurriedly stared at the person who asked for a private meeting.
It was Kim Hyeong-woo, a martial arts instructor in the Kwonsa family.
“15 Members of the Changchun Guild’s 1st raid raided the Grand Park in the forest. It seems that the guild masters Tenjon and Sword Emperor So Dae-cheol infiltrated the area.”
Cecilia asked, stroking her blonde hair.
It was because she had no reason to bring in outsiders for no reason in a guild like Changchun.
“Who is the target?”
“Looking at the confrontation situation, I think it is Lee Do-jin, the freshman representative.”
“Sword Emperor So Dae-cheol seems to have chosen to stay in the woods instead of entering the academy by restraining himself as much as possible, but he must have been quite angry… Dojin Lee. Surely he was the student who took the entrance exam with a wooden sword, right?”
Kim Hyung-woo nodded his head.
“Yes, will we intervene before the battle breaks out?”
Cecilia opened her window and chanted her magic.
Her left eye is the ‘Eye of Truth’. Her right is the ‘Eye of Heaven’.
Cecilia’s eyes shone blue.
Encounter the object you want to observe beyond the structure.
With Lee Do-jin. The 15 men in front of Lee Do-jin came into view.
Cecilia observed their movements closely.
There is a little bit of fear in Lee Do-jin’s body. I didn’t feel the slightest hesitation.
‘Rather than that, the momentum is getting bigger.’
Cecilia shook her head slowly.
“Leave it. She seems to have a corner to believe in something. Besides them, it seems like there are a few more roles to report or monitor the situation. Just pass that on to the student council.”
Kim Hyung-woo hardened his forehead. No matter how much he thought about his common sense, he was in a situation where the academy had to intervene.
Cecilia chuckled.
“If Cadet Lee Do-jin was going to lose mercilessly, of course the instructors would have intervened.”
Kim Hyung-woo widened his eyes.
“What do you mean?”
“Yes, I guess. I think that friend will win.”
“If I, at that age, defeated 15 members of the 1st raid in Changchun by myself. Aren’t you a genius who hasn’t come out of this world in decades?”
Cecilia giggled at Kim Hyung-woo’s fuss and laughed out loud.
“Instructor Kim Hyeong-woo. Are you aware that the instructor has been saying that every time for nearly four years at this point?”
Kim Hyung-woo thought for a moment with his mouth open.
“Sure, sure. In the last 4 years, there has been one genius per grade. Cadet Lee Do-jin seems to be a little more special among them.”
“Right. The two of us in the student council right now. The other one is a divinity that has never appeared in the Hunter world. It’s like a God-given opportunity. I think so.”
One for each year.
A being worthy of being called a genius appeared.
“The Golden Generation. I would like to call today’s students that.”
“The golden generation….”
“And the golden generation should attack the tower.”
Through Cecilia’s both eyes, a transparent “Tower” Can be seen dimly across the sky.
It was an unknown disaster that others couldn’t see even the faintest form.
“In front of the apostles of the tower, even those who are now called SS-class hunters fall to their knees and feel nothing but fear.”
“… It is.”
Kim Hyung-woo’s complexion suddenly darkened.
『Tower』.
In each floor of the tower, there are monsters with the power to destroy a nation, and beings with power equal to or greater than that.
10 Years.
If a certain level of the tower is not attacked every 10 years, the tower loses its power to restrain those beings and collapses.
That was the rule that appeared in front of the first-generation raid team when the tower first appeared.
The tower is gradually coming down.
The sacrifices and blood of countless first-generation hunters are only holding back the tower’s descent.
“For us, the golden generation bestowed by this god… They have a mission to grow into saviors who will save the world. I think so.”
All citizens know about gates and dungeons.
The existence of the tower is still only known to high-ranking government officials or top-level hunters.
Because in front of the tower, all the grades such as S, A, B, and C established by the hunter society are just pieces of paper.
People will be terrified.
I will shout that the end of the world has finally arrived.
The hell road of the first cataclysm will unfold again.
“When the president returns, I will have a lot to tell you.”
Vice-chancellor Cerilia’s two eyes, the ‘Eyes of Truth’, pierced through the thick forest and even the artifacts that blocked her vision.
I could see Dojin Lee neutralizing 15 Changchun 1st raiders alone.
***
Lee Do-jin ignored the 1st assault team members scattered on the ground and stepped forward.
Kwajik!
Without hesitation, Lee Do-jin stepped on the sight-blocking dome artifact generator and broke it.
The circular dome has been removed.
Basrock!
Lee Do-jin felt the presence and looked behind him.
f*ck!
And then there came a dull sound that could not be called a presence.
A silver-haired woman grabbed a man by the collar and was swinging her fist.
Her man’s face was already covered in blood.
“This Grand Park in the forest, as well as the road in front of it, is owned by Iroas Academy. It is Yeon Si-moon, vice-president of the student council with security qualifications within the realm. From now on, we will enforce the suppression of the intruder according to the procedure.”
You’ve already executed it.
Yeonsi-moon, a silver-haired woman, put her camera, which her man was holding in her hand, into her pocket.
Then she turned her head towards Lee Do-jin.
It was golden eyes.
Gold eyes stared at Lee Do-jin.
Silver-haired long hair that was clearly neatly arranged.
But perhaps because of the golden eyes with sharp eyes, I felt like I was looking at a lion.
‘Is it a guru?’
It looked like a warrior using fists.
Vice-president of the student council, Yeon Si-moon looked at Lee Do-jin and gestured at her chin.
“Name.”
Lee Do-jin lowered her head slightly.
“I am Dojin Lee, a freshman.”
“As expected, you were the crazy guy with the wooden sword.”
It’s only been two days since Lee Do-jin entered the school, but she was quite famous among the student council executives.
This is because students in the student council were able to view the video of the entrance exam using their personal connections.
Yeonsi Moon stared at the wooden sword in Lee Do-jin’s right hand.
“Please, I hope you do not intend to insult martial arts by reason of using that wooden sword.”
What… what?
Lee Do-jin stared blankly at Yeon-si-moon, who was really serious.
“I have no intention of doing that.”
“Okay then.”
Yeon Si-mun stared at So-eun, who was sitting on the ground sadly.
At that time, something more popped out from the bushes.
The being clothed in black spoke softly.
With So Yu-eun lifted up in a pose of ’embracing the princess’ in a carefree manner.
“It is Changchun. I have no intention of fighting. I will take only the lady.”
Yeon Si-mun tilted his head.
“What bullsh*t.”
And without hesitation, he threw out his fist.
Wow!
The sound of exploding wind pressure echoed through the park.
“… !”
Yeon Si-mun narrowed his forehead. Because I didn’t feel any impact.
The black being scattered gray smoke and disappeared into the distance, holding Soyueun in his arms.
“Are you an Awakener optimized for stealth and escape?”
You clicked your tongue at the opening letter.
Lee Do-jin stared in the direction where the black being disappeared.
I didn’t touch So Yoo-eun and ran away on purpose.
If he was interrogated like that, he could be in trouble himself too.
Anyway, the knot for the work was meant to be made by oneself.
‘Sword Emperor Sodaecheol.’
A person who does not fit the title of Sword Emperor.
The day when the schedule for the first semester ends and summer vacation begins.
That day, I was thinking of visiting the Guild headquarters.
My first meeting with him was during summer vacation.
After a moment of silence, the first to speak was Yeonsimun.
“Lee Do-jin.”
“Yes, senior.”
“You have to meet the Vice-Chancellor and explain the matter. Follow me.”
Lee Do-jin nodded his head.
Nevertheless, Yeon Si-mun stared at Lee Do-jin. Then he opened his mouth again.
“Come over here.”
Lee Do-jin quietly approached.
“The waist of the uniform is twisted.”
Without hesitation, Yeonsi-moon grabbed Lee Do-jin’s clothes and corrected her dressing.
Lee Do-jin couldn’t even figure out what kind of character the woman in front of her was.
***
“Welcome. Cadet Lee Do-jin.”
Cecilia Academy vice president greeted Lee Do-jin with a smile.
Student council vice president Yeon Si-moon only took Lee Do-jin away but did not come in.
“Field agents interrogated and provided emergency treatment for the 15 people Lee Do-jin defeated, but to no avail. What exactly is the confrontation with Changchun Guild? Lee Do-jin.”
Lee Do-jin opened her mouth while watching Cecilia tuck her blonde hair behind her ear.
“This is a private matter between the Changchun Guild and me. I will not cause any damage to Iroas Academy from now on.”
“Huh, but Lee Do-jin doesn’t think so. Could Changchun have a different opinion?”
“I warned you. I think she took the warning well enough. If this happens again, I will take responsibility somehow.”
Cecilia shook her head slowly.
“I do not intend to criticize Lee Do-jin. It’s a concern about guilds and individuals trying to fight against each other. Lee Do-jin is a precious academy cadet.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“You can just go here. Lee Do-jin.”
Lee Do-jin bowed his back.
Then he opened the door to the vice president’s office and went outside.
Cecilia murmured softly.
“I have a lot of expectations. Lee Do-jin.”
As Lee Do-jin opened the door of the vice-president’s office, he heard Yeon Si-mun’s low-pitched murmur in his ears.
“Jjambbong, jajangmyeon, jjambbong, jajangmyeon….”
“… ?”
What spell is that?
“Senior, haven’t you eaten yet? Would you like to eat together?”
“If you buy it, I will eat it.”
“Yes, I will buy it.”
Deep in the night.
A dinner date between the opposite s*x on campus.
However, the two of them were far from the ideal of their midnight dinner promise.
‘I should ask how many strong students there are in the academy.’
‘Which of the two should I eat?’
