An-hyun was well for a while.

“That's... You'll get angry when you talk about it. ”

“I've never been angry with you. I was just punishing him for taking legitimate steps. And now that you mention it, it doesn't make a difference. ”

“ ……. ”

“Just think of it as a curiosity. Just tell me."

An-hyun's neck swallowed up whether he thought it was plausible. He hesitates for a while, then opens his mouth with a slightly dull face.

“… I didn't want to hear you curse. ”

“Clan, not brother... Huh?”

“Then... There are bad records of dragons falling asleep in the mountains. ”

“Slander records? I told you not to worry about that. ”

“I couldn't help but care. No matter how twisted, some users would talk about it as if it were true. I've done it right in front of me. So…."

“So. I couldn't resist a provocation like that, so I did it. ”

An-hyun couldn't speak anymore, and his head softened. And I was silently thinking.

In fact, Ahn Hyun probably doesn't know what process the incident was in at that time. For example, Ahn Hyun said it was just a provocation, but it is very likely that the provocation was planned as well.

In other words, the Koran Alliance targeted Ahn Hyun in the first place.

At that time, Ahn Hyun opened his mouth a little.

“Just…. I wanted to be closest to my brother. ”

“ ……? ”

“I mentioned something earlier, but I wanted to show it to you on the other hand. I don't just chase after my back all the time, but once... Once... ”

“ ……. ”

“I didn't forget your words, and I didn't completely ignore them. But I thought it would be okay to take a little step at the entrance.... ”

“... There's a reason you shouldn't go. ”

I kicked my tongue and stared at Ahn Hyun. From what I've heard, I think I know what he meant. I didn't have a bad intention, but I did it for the money. You probably don't have a grudge against yourself, and you have something you want to say.

However, we cannot deny An-hyun's carelessness. I don't intend to cover it up properly.

There are two ways An-hyun can return to the Machinery now. Correct the attitude, or set up a proper ball. However, it was practically impossible to build a ball in a place like this, so in the end there was only the first way.

And I don't think An-hyun's attitude has changed enough to come back yet.

Anyway, I sigh. Now that I've closed all the cases, it's a good thing it's going in the right direction, and if I'd heard that before, I'd have been pissed again.

No, I was actually angry.... As I mentioned earlier, Ahn Hyun was already punished. I thought of it that way, and threw away my bag.

Snap out of it!

In the bag, a blunt iron burst out. For a moment, Ahn Hyun, who was disheartened, looked at me with a curious face.

“These are the tools you used. You'll need it to get into user academy. ”

“Yes? Yes, user academy? ”

“Yes, the instructor can bring in a user to assist him in his work. Anyway, let Hayeon explain the details. ”

“Then…. ”

“Of course, delusions are forbidden. I was going to choose another clan, but Ha-yeon and An-sol asked me to choose you. Equipment will be reclaimed as soon as this user academy ends. Which means you have to come back here when you're done. ”

“With my sister... My brother…."

An-hyun still looked dazed. I don't think I can understand what you're saying yet. But Hayeon will explain it in detail anyway, and it was time to get up. Today is the day I leave for the ancient magical city of Maggia, and the clans will be waiting for me by now.

I calmly got up.

“Tongue, brother! Are you leaving?"

“Clan Lord, not you. And I know because I'm gonna be gone for about four weeks. No, you don't need to know. ”

Ahn Hyun reached out his hand as if he was trying to catch me, but soon he lowered back down.

I immediately turned around. Just before opening the door, you turn your head halfway around and stare at the table.

An-hyun stood up and looked at me with an unacceptable face. Meanwhile, both hands are slowly touching the bag.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“Employee Ahn Hyun. ”

“Yes…. Yes!”

“This time... Good luck."

“… Yes? ”

Returning to my curious question, I opened my mouth with eagerness for the first time.

“Good luck. User Academy is really important this time. I mean, I don't want anything else this time. Just do as Ha-yeon says. You're my wingman, assistant. No matter what you see or hear or experience, don't think about it. Just stay quiet and come out quietly. You know what I'm saying? ”

“Ah…. Yes, yes! ”

Is there only one example I can say?

However, it soon occurred to me that it might be possible for An-hyun. I smiled blankly.

“By the way. ”

And the last thing I said was I opened the door of the tavern and went out.

The air at dawn was cold and cool.

Atlanta.

I see Atlanta.

It looks several times the size of Barbara. The white and dazzling exterior, surrounded by white cloth worn by angels.

Yeah. That's Atlanta, for sure.

Suddenly, I felt my chest throbbing. At the same time, excitement rose deep in my heart, and I suddenly felt very good.

Even though this is the second raid, Terra will be here soon since she entered Atlanta. Now I feel like I can go home after a little more trouble, and I wanted to share this joy with someone for just a little while now.

I quickly turned my eyes to find Han So-young, my brother. No, I liked no one.

And I soon saw the face of a man. He was the first face I'd seen in my life.

Why is this new guy next to me? And why is his face so stiff?

Whether he read my thoughts, the man suddenly raised his hand slowly and pointed somewhere. My eyes are looking somewhere without even looking. The direction in which he pointed and the direction of his gaze were consistent. Then, feeling tempted by something, I slowly turned my gaze towards the place the man was pointing at.

It was then.

- Funnels, funnels, funnels, funnels, funnels!

- The time has come! Oh, wait. The time has finally come!

For a moment, the tearing laughter echoes around you. At the same time, the feeling of being unable to express Moore began to envelop my whole body.

It was as if space was twisting forcefully, and the world was twisting.

Yes. This sensation... When you take back Atlanta, it's like the appearance of the Grand Duke of Hell...

No, wait, what?

A sudden thought flashes over my head, and I gaze dazed.

Then, in the air, I could see a woman rising into the sky.

- Fuck you! Now come on, now come on, quit? That's what I told you before! But what did you do?

- I pretended not to know. I pretended not to know! I begged you to stop, so much, to save me, to help me so much...!

- You abandoned me. You even killed me. You vicious murderers!

- But it's okay. I'm gonna be a killer soon.

- I mean, it's not fair to die alone like this. So some of them will be sacrificed with me, others with the summoned monster!

- ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─. ─ ─ ─.

Every time a voice rang in the air, I could not wake up for a moment.

And when I finally came to my senses, the world had already turned red. On the ground, a blaze of sinister energy was rising, and the sky was stained with blood.

Suddenly, the sky and earth turned ominous red.

And that was the moment.

- Kill them all! Rug, rug, rug!

At the same time as the woman opens her arms and bursts into laughter.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

Heaven and earth began to split.

“Brother? Brother! ”

I felt like someone was shaking my body. When I open my eyes reflectively, I see a dark space and someone's face. I just woke up, so I didn't get a good look. I just perceive a blurry shape.

“Soo-hyun! Are you okay? ”

I shake my head vigorously in the sense of silence. For some reason, my head was ringing and my breath was hard. It looks like the back is damp and the sweat is also flowing.

After closing my eyes for a while and taking a breath, I felt a little calm. Then I opened my eyes and saw the face of Hanstar against the beautiful night sky. A face filled with a feeling of helplessness is like crying right now.

I leaned from my sleeping bag like a bounce. Then Kim Han-suh spoke in a voice full of worries.

“Oh my…. Look at this sweat... Brother, what's wrong? I heard a strange sound while I was standing in the fireplace... ”

“... It's no big deal. I just had a weird dream. ”

“If I dream.... Are you okay? ”

“It's okay. It's just a dream. Well, I feel dirty. ”

It wasn't just a dream. When I think about it quietly, the dream was a real experience based on the first time memory. It's a kind of recall.

The retreat of Atlanta and the witch's curse. And the appearance of the Grand Duke of Hell.

I don't know why I had that dream all of a sudden, but I felt so dirty. I felt so stuffy that I couldn't burst.

“First, sweat... Because it's dawn, the air is in the car, and if you stay like this, you catch a cold. ”

“No, no. Can you get me a bottle of water? ”

Hanbyol quickly got up and brought me a bottle of water. I moved off the bench, sat near the campfire, and drank as much water as I could. As the cool stream flowed through the esophagus, I could feel the boiling chest slowly sinking.

Eventually, after emptying all of the jars, I coughed my breath out and landed on the floor. I felt like I could live now.

The landscape around me has just begun to catch my attention. I looked around slowly, feeling a little off.

The place where we are now was to enter the ancient magical city of Maggia by way of a delicate mountain, tomorrow through the Valley of Hallucinations.

It took exactly four weeks to get here.

The inn had already been active for a long time, and chicks were approaching the third week of training. And by the time I get back from work, I'll just be in the fourth week of training.

Even though chicks were attracted to users, I was relaxed. It's because Hayeon has been communicating about something that is already worthwhile and she is also focusing on unconditional training due to the nature of the user academy. (If you are promoted directly or indirectly, the instructor will be expelled immediately.)

“Wait a minute... ”

At that time, I suddenly felt the soft feeling of rubbing my neck and cheeks. Suddenly, I turned my gaze and saw Hanstar moving his hands with a very focused face. Hanbyol was carefully teasing his hands and wiping off the sweat on my body.

“Come on, come on. ”

“Wait…. I'll clean it for you..."

I felt embarrassed to make eye contact, so I looked around again and threw my gaze forward. And at that moment, I smiled.

Across the street is Ansol. It looks like Hanbyol was standing like this, because he was shaking his head to see if he had blinked. As Hanbyol notices why I'm laughing, he hears me laughing with a slap on the side.

I stared at the sliding anvil. Looking at me so quietly, I thought my head was the same as my brother, and I was about to chirp my tongue.

Boom!

Suddenly, Ansol raises his head.

Luck 102 stats triggered! The Holy Mother's Prophecy is on!

Then next time...

Haha. Finally 500 times. And of course, adding up to the announcement isn't exactly 500 times, but sentiment is really new. In the past, when I was a reader, I was amazed to see over 500 works. Oh, how did you write so many? Can I read it all, etc. I thought about it, but I didn't think I'd be doing this 500 times.:)

In fact, as a matter of fact, I was thinking of designing a feature as a meaningful meeting, rather than just following up on the idea that the storyline was better. But if there's anything a little bit special, there's something in the middle. Now we're going to have to unhook those settings one by one, right?: D
