Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

After the tower collapsed.

This place, once called a cemetery, has regained its original appearance.

Even if you didn't do something, it's like a net.

Saaaaaaaaaaah!

Grass grows on the ground that was cut off, but becomes a field.

The souls that were trapped are freed from the silent atmosphere of the stone.

Once again, the space has changed dramatically.

‘I can't call it a cemetery anymore. ’

Yoon Seok gave this space a new name.

I couldn't help but notice the name the Queen and Soul Keeper had originally called. I had no choice but to build a new one.

In doing so, the name was built for convenience as a shelter….

Well, what was Su-yeon's reaction?

Well, Sens said it was the worst, and I think he had his tongue full.

On the contrary, a thousand horses would have complimented anything.

"What if it's El? ’

Somehow she might have really liked the name "shelter."

I particularly like the place to rest.

Well, it didn't matter.

“What are you really doing, by the way? ”

‘Cemetery’ or 'shelter’ seems good.

For Yoon Seok, who has achieved his desired goal, the biggest problem is now another.

How do I get out of here?

“You shouldn't be here for the rest of your life...? ”

The tower collapsed and Yoon Seok remained here.

It was due to someone else's intentions.

It would have to be said that it was practically distracted.

The wall guarding the cemetery, the tower that was a passage through the outer dimension, collapsed, and the way out disappeared.

However…….

“... Someday there will be a way. ”

Yoon Seok wandered around the shelter without being discouraged.

Maybe there's still hope in Pandora's Closed Box.

If you become more familiar with this space, a new way may emerge.

Well, I haven't earned any income yet....

If you don't try to open the box, nothing will change.

“So what was everyone going to do..... ”

Anyway, if escaping is the biggest concern, this is the biggest desire Yoon Seok has ever felt.

El, Thousand Horses, Lee Soo-yeon, King of Steel, Eshton, etc.

Of course, the people close to Yoon Seok, and what happened to your world after the tower disappeared.

Honestly, I thought I was gonna go crazy.

So it became more frequent to guess one by one.

‘First of all, El.... He must have been reborn.’

As the tower collapsed, the souls sought freedom.

According to Sunri, El would also have undergone a rebirth.

Well, how old are you going to be?

‘.. I wonder. I've never seen El in my real childhood. ’

It's pretty cute to imagine.

However, he also laughed for a while.

Yoon Seok is flawless.

‘Oh, wait a minute. But that's not him either, is it? ’

A thousand horses died at the same time as El.

So she too must have been reincarnated.

‘I wonder.... What he would look like as a child. It's a lot different from what I remember, isn't it? ’

After a thousand horses, Ashton, his parents, Lee Soo-yeon, etc.

Yoon Seok, who remembered how the people who knew him closely since then would be doing, kept his mouth shut.

It was very pleasant to think of them at first.

But at the end of the day, as always, only a lamentable heart remained.

“Glug, Glug! ”

“Oops, the captain is shaking again! ”

If it wasn't for Asura or Lynn, who appeared just before the tower collapsed, I might have gone crazy lonely.

He will do the same.....

‘I see. It's been 10 years. ’

That much time passed one day.

Lynn's biometric watch (?), so there is nothing wrong.

Well, I don't know how much time has passed on the real earth....

Anyway, nowadays, I'm not even good at trying to figure out how to escape.

In the first place, it wasn't very spacious, and I looked at all the places I could already explore.

There was no way out.

“I might not be able to keep my promise..... ”

One day, Yoon Seok sighed, who remembered the promise he had made to the thousand horses.

The promise was a driving force and a burden that weighed heavily on the heart.

“Phew, I have to practice my dimensions today. ”

“Glug, Glug! ”

“I'm working harder. If you get good at it, you might get out of here, right? ”

“Yes, but..... ”

Yoon Seok stands in the center of the shelter in Gangul.

And the mottled souls who were running around immediately fled into the crowd.

It wasn't a very special day.

The souls were as busy running away from each other as they had ever met any messenger.

“Sura, but what do they always say I did wrong? When the queen was here, I thought I'd come first and flirt with her. ”

To be honest, Yoon Sook also wanted to read the memories of souls like the Queen and the Soul Keeper.

Do I need a new stimulus in my daily routine?

Those who knew had already imagined being old and giving birth to their grandchildren, so there was no more work to do.

Anyway, Asura gave me an answer that I didn't expect.

“Glug, Glug! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“What, you're running away because you don't want to die? ”

Yoon Seok laughed at his head and convinced him.

If even the tower was destroyed, it would be possible to exterminate those souls.

Well, I have no intention of harming them....

“Maybe they'll be reluctant. ”

“Glug, Glug! ”

“... but how did you know that? ”

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“Intuition? Well, then you're right. ”

Yoon Seok nods without any disagreement.

The feeling of trust in Asura was already peaking.

He also advised me to choose a fast at the time of the last slot selection.

If you didn't follow that instinct, it's this boring peaceful routine that Yoon Seok met by now (?), not the bed end.

‘Well, if you look at it, it's like a bed end. ’

Yoon Seok, who had been laughing in the past, entered the training in earnest.

And how long has it been since.

Unlike Yoon Sook, Asura, who was lying far away from her, came to talk to her.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“... It's been a month? ”

“Glug!”

“Being here makes the sense of time weird. ”

“The Captain's brain structure is a problem, not a place. ”

Speaking like that makes me pretty reassuring.

If you do your training, time will be quick. Yup, when Yoon Seok is returning to his palate, Asura talks to him again.

He doesn't ask questions before he gets dizzy.

“Glug! Glug!”

“... do you miss it? Of course I miss you, so I'm always doing this to see you again. But why would you suddenly ask me that? ”

As Yoon Suk tilted his head, Asura used all six arms.

“Glug, Glug! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Maybe there's a way to meet them again.

“Argh, did you have any more petty artificial instincts? ”

Lynn, who was listening together, laughed, but Yoon Seok ran his face.

If ‘intuition' was triggered, it was worth listening to.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

“Follow me? Where are you going? ”

“Tsk tsk, do you believe that? It's obvious that I'm trying to cheer you up because I look pitiful. ”

Does it make you feel bad that you only care about Asura?

Lynn bothers me today.

Yoon Seok roughly ignores him and chases after Asura, who is walking fast somewhere.

“No way, is there a way? ”

Arrival within 30 minutes is in the underground area of the shelter.

So the place where the tower used to be....

Hooooooooooooooo!

There was a cluster of blue lights gathering around the tower.

If it wasn't for the mood, it was like reminiscing about the portal.

"No way, is it a real escape? ’

At this point, I feel the expectation of doing it.

Of course, there were questions.

The current place is a particularly hard-wearing place, and until a few days ago, I didn't even wash my eyes and look for it.

‘.. How many times a year is there such a rule? ’

I can't figure out why I'm guessing.

I don't even know who built the shelter in the first place.

Anyway, Lynn, who has followed me here, looks at the shingles with anxious eyes.

“Captain! You're not going to enter a place where you don't even know who you are? ”

“Glug, Glug! ”

“But Sue is never dangerous? ”

“I can only understand the sound of scratching that sputum when I say so. ”

“Oh, I did..... ”

Yoon Seok then asked Asura this question on behalf of Lynn.

And Asura replaced all the grounds with 'intuition’ and answered all the questions.

“So in a nutshell, if I get in here, I can be reborn, too? Of course you'll lose your memory. ”

“Glug!”

This was an escape but not an escape.

Reincarnation, not return.

They don't even know where or how to be born, even if they are born on Earth.

But.....

“Okay, then we should do it. ”

Yoon Seok made a surprising decision to himself without hesitation.

“Humans! Are you crazy! ”

Even so, there was someone I wanted to meet.

Epilogue 1. Unknown Stories

“Unbelievable……. I can't believe you just left! ”

After hiding Yoon Seok in the portal.

Asura and Lynn, who were left alone, grabbed hold of their fists.

Just as desperately enduring something.

“I had enough fun like this...! ”

“Glug, Glug, Glug!”

“Monster, I've comforted you with that sputum boil! Even if I hadn't said that in the first place, the captain wouldn't have left! ”

Lynn pushes Asura's hand with nervousness.

I don't know if I thought I was sensitive.

He spoke in a voice that looked like a mosquito crawling.

“... I'm sorry. But I want to be alone for a while. ”

Lynn takes a step with a tired expression.

And at that moment.

“Glug, Glug, Glug!”

Asura said something to Lynn again.

“I'm not the captain. I don't understand... ”

“Go in, too. ”

“No, I think it's hard to listen to me..... Huh?”

Lynn stiffens her back and looks at Asura.

“... Crazy! You were able to speak?! ”

“Yes.”

“Nasty monster! Why are you pretending you can't talk so far? Did you betray the Captain? In fact, is the reincarnation a decoy, and the captain has gone to hell? ”

“There's no way. ”

Within a week, Asura clasped Lynn with six arms.

Then he approached where the portal was.

“Come with me. You haven't heard from the Captain yet. ”

“Go, go, confess? This, this, this, this, this is incomprehensible?! ”

“You know, it's hard not to be honest. ”

“Wait, wait! It's an amusing joke. Give me down right now..... ”

“Then I have to do this. ”

“Argh! Monster! The monster threw me into the fire pit-! ”

Asura throws Lynn down the portal.

At the same time, the buzzing sound faded away and the usual static sat down in the 'shelter'.

“Goodbye, both of you. ”

Asura stares at the portal where she has been missing for a while.

I felt a little bored in the future.

* * *

Adam and Eve.

And Pandora.

There are commonalities for those who appear in different myths. It all began out of curiosity and ended in tragedy.

In a way, the story of the Queen was not so different.

Having stumbled upon the discovery that all souls live a similar life forever, she named it Fate.

And tragedy began with it.

But.....

Yoon Seok could never agree if it was just a story.

For example, what is the world like now?

Do good and evil exist, and the scourges of hatred, poverty, disease, death exist, but everyone is unhappy?

Is their lives all tragic?

Absolutely not

But even more so…….

Epilogue 2. A special story

- Breaking news. A hybrid group of fairies, demons, and humans, ARENA, has set up a waiting list to flip charts around the world in just seven hours of regular album release.

- Last night, around 10: 00 p.m., the Changcheongbaek swordsman who won the 41st World Martial Arts Congress was admitted to the prosecution for assault. Now he denies all charges in a prosecution investigation. The attention is focused on the position of the godmother of the Southern Archery.

- Urgent breaking news. We have news of an extraordinary dungeon in the South Sea of Lebanon. In the Hamilton royal family, we officially formed an expedition that included hunters of 6 stars and above, and adhered to the attitude to deal with it with magnetism without the support of the Union.....

Who would have known.

This is the time to come.

- Peep!

The woman who sat on the couch and watched the news bitterly turned off the TV.

2,120 on October 1.

It's been a century, but is it just because you're old that you still think about it?

“Phew……. ”

Probably not.

Just because you know a man who tried to see this before anyone else, but didn't enjoy it.

Knock, knock.

At the sound of the knock, the woman woke up from the meditation.

Did you have an appointment today?

I don't think it was there....

“Come in.”

As the woman recited, the door opened and an old man with a noble dignity entered the parlour.

There was no promise, but it was a nice face.

“Director Ashton! ”

“One day after retirement, why don't you just call me Mister? ”

“Well, how's that? I don't think grandpa would know.”

“Hahaha! You ate one of these. ”

It was a long time ago, but the conversation was as natural as it was yesterday.

“Ah! Have a seat. You must be having a hard time.”

“Obviously, when I got older, I didn't have a sore spot. I envy Miss Su-yeon these days. ”

Lee Soo-yeon smiled awkwardly.

In this era, there are those who are called heroes.

It refers to colleagues who tore the ‘Last Borough’ a century ago and followed the Savior into battle.

The day the queen vanished and the tower broke.

They became the only ones who had the flesh of a challenger who was neither old nor ill, and also had the honor of defending the world.

“That's ridiculous. What we did was called a hero.... ”

Lee Soo-yeon had a bitter smile on her mouth.

The hero was too exaggerated to think for himself.

Thousand horsepower.

Actually, except for her, everyone was busy chasing his butt.

It was the two of them who ended up breaking the tower.

“Suddenly the atmosphere got heavy. That's not what I'm trying to do. Anyway, it's so good to see you. It was the last time I saw you during the 90th anniversary of the Hunters' Union. Ten years? ”

“... That's enough already. ”

“How are you? ”

“Absolutely. However, I'd rather ask about Miss Su-yeon's condition than an old man like me. I heard you teach students these days.... ”

I scratched my back neck like Lee Soo-yeon was ashamed.

And move your gaze as you permeate the desk…….

No, I looked at the plaque that said, 'Lee Soo-yeon, Principal of Tetran Academy.'

“It's a small thing. I can't go hunting monsters forever. ”

“Hahaha, I'm sure you haven't been able to avoid Su-yeon's years by saying that. ”

“Yes, just because the aging of the body has stopped doesn't mean it stays in its infancy. ”

In Lee Soo-yeon's words, Eshton spilled a frame on the executive office desk without my knowledge.

A picture of a stranger in a frame was proving it.

That's what I said, but...

Her time is still at a standstill.

“What are you doing here, by the way? The one who retired because he was sick and tired of it all would not have come in 10 years because I really wanted to see him. ”

Ashton smiled.

“Would you really not believe that Miss Su-yeon came because she wanted to see you? ”

He had no intention.

Just as I got older, I just remembered old relationships.

But it was a mistake.

But I didn't come.

“I guess my visit only reminded me of Su-yeon's troubled memories. ”

I wore a midnight hat that Eshton put on the table. And he stood up with his staff.

Lee Soo-yeon didn't catch him either.

But when Eshton was about to leave the room.

I heard a small voice behind him.

“... it's not a painful memory. ”

“ ……? ”

“I just miss you. ”

That was also the case.

* * *

“Senior, would you like to go home? ”

After leaving Lee Soo-yeon's office, the attendant approaches him.

“No, I want to walk a little. ”

“Yes, I'll call the security team right away. ”

“Don't do that, isn't that where the students are? I don't want to make a fuss. ”

“Got it.”

The old man walked around.

It was a little curious.

The previous positive organs were proud to be up-to-date, but this is not even their counterpart.

“Are all the academies like this these days? The level of cadets is high. ”

“It's where he robbed me of my fortune. Moreover, it is said that there are considerable talents who have deliberately gathered here to receive His teaching. ”

“Well, I guess so. I'll be back soon. As I get older, I can't stand the wind. ”

“I'll take you.”

20 minutes at most.

The old man wandering around the interior of the academy ended his brief whimpering and headed towards the front door.

I was exhausted, but somehow I felt refreshed.

Seeing young cadets sweat, it's like they went back in time.

“Get in the car. ”

He looked at the front door of the academy for the last time before climbing into a vehicle that was waiting.

Why haven't you fallen on your feet?

But I can't keep doing this forever.

A car that was trying to get into the car.

“Hey! How did a guy like you get here? Tell me, eh? Can't you hear me? ”

The sound of the ear piercing made me turn my old man.

An invisible corner covered in a front door post.

I was surrounded by several male cadets.

“It looks like the new students who entered this time after seeing the mark. Poor thing, but it's common, so don't worry. ”

The old man paused and fixed his gaze in one place, as if he could not hear the words of the performer.

“Hey, can you call that student over there? ”

“You mean that boy who's being harassed? ”

“I see.”

“If I come into contact with another country's hunter, Lee Soo-yeon may come out. ”

“... It's a good name. ”

“I understand. Can you get in the car for safety? ”

“I will.”

While the concierge went to find out his name.

The old man stood in the car and watched the boy being harassed.

The horsepower felt in the body, the innate skeleton, was a cadet of that age that was nothing special.

But somehow, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

“Yeah, what's your name? ”

“... He said it was Choi Yoon-suk. ”

“Choi Yoon Sook? Are you sure about that? ”

“Yes, I've checked the plaque, that's for sure. Do you have any connections? ”

The old man shook his head with a trembling hue.

“That's..... No, it's my first time today. ”

“Well, thank goodness. I was wondering if I should go get it now. ”

“You don't have to. We'll leave soon.”

Within minutes, the car departed, and the cadets in front of the front door became increasingly distant.

But I kept talking about the boy cadet's face.

In the end, the old man was intolerant and gave a new instruction to the attendant.

“Can you get me some data on that cadet? ”

“Can I ask you why? ”

The old man looked out the running window.

With his wrinkles wrinkled beyond the window, one of the men's faces became blurred.

However, the blurred head could not remember the face of the corporation as clearly as before.

“ ……. ”

The old man took out his wallet.

And I took out a picture that had been stored there for decades and looked into it and recited it.

“You look alike. My old friendship.”

Of course, it would have been a simple coincidence.

But.....

Sometimes someone says such coincidences are destiny.

“That's why I want to help. Just like he did to me. ”

When the old man's words were finished, the attendant immediately answered.

“... I will also post data about the students who were harassing me. ”

“Yes, would you do that? ”

One day, the old man's mouth was deeply wrinkled.
