I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Side Story Chapter 6 - Strange Stranger (2)

Seo-joon's amazing dismantling work continued.

The swarms of flying spiders were so numerous that they covered the sky in pitch black.

However, was it because Seo-jun's hand movements were so fast and

above all, he was able to control his powers on his own due to his sealed power?

Kwajik.

puck!

The scattered swarms of flying spiders were dead, just right to dismantle.

‘Isn't it rather nice?'

Seojun continued the dismantling work with a smile.

Usually, there was nothing to dismantle, because it just broke.

So I used to entrust the dungeon raid to my teammates...

‘Come to think of it, I don't know if the team members are doing well...'

Kwajik.

puck.

As if Seo-joon was shaking off the thoughts that came to him.

The demolition work continued.

And just then.

“How can you...!”

A trembling voice came from somewhere.

When I turned my gaze to the direction from which the sound came,

Carls was looking at Seo-joon with an expression of disbelief.

“I can't admit this! This… this…!”

It was an expression of disbelief.

For some reason, it seemed that he couldn't acknowledge Seo-jun's ability, which was superior to his own.

Apparently Carls is called the Sword Master.

Of course, he was never the sword master that Seojun thought of him.

Is your pride in yourself blooming in the wrong direction?

Or am I just stupid

It was like that from the first impression, but

Seo-joon could clearly see Carl's tendency.

That's why Seo-joon didn't say much about the situation just now.

I didn't even feel the reason to prove it, and

I didn't want to believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes... what can I do.

In the first place, whether Carls believed it or not.

It didn't matter anyway.

There is only one thing that is important to Seo-joon.

“These corpses are mine, though. I can't yield.”

Scattered corpses of flying spiders.

That was the money he could get!

Kwajik.

puck.

Should Seo-jun go and steal the corpses?

Disassembly continued at an astonishing pace.

And Carls, who was watching it.

“......”

For the first time in his life, Carls could feel the outrageous experience of going out.

A stunning silence that fell for a while.

How much time had passed like that?

Suddenly, Seojun raised his head.

Then, Seojun asked Carls again.

“Oh. Are they dispatched from the capital by any chance?”

At Seo-jun's sudden question, Carl's mind began to go blank.

Even so, why are you asking that?

Suddenly, while disassembling a monster corpse!

As if he knew what Carl's question was.

Seojun immediately continued.

“In that case, could you please guide me to the capital city? Maybe it's my first trip, so I'm confused about the route, and I have to meet the emperor.”

“What?”

Carls could feel the experience of returning Oi once again.

No, I was on the verge of ascending to heaven this time because I couldn't get out of the way.

That would be the emperor of the empire Seo-jun said.

As the ruler of this dimension, he was the most noble of all dimensions.

Of course, it was an existence that I did not dare to meet.

To be precise, it was an existence that I could not meet even though I called him like a friend.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Carls shouted in anger and continued.

“His Majesty is not someone your Cat would dare to meet!”

“Uh… is that so?”

“Yes!”

“okay.”

Seojun nodded as if he understood.

Kwajik.

puck.

Then the disassembly begins again...

“......”

Carls really couldn't understand Seo-joon.

I didn't even want to understand.

Right then.

width!

A mentor came out of Seo-jun's arms.

“postmark...?”

Carls looked slightly surprised at the sudden appearance of his mentor.

A dwarf the size of a fist.

It was the first race that Kals had ever seen in his life.

The mentor whimpered and landed on Seo-jun's shoulder.

He crossed his arms and puffed out his cheeks.

< It's very expensive. >

“He's the emperor. It can be anything.”

As Seo-joon continued the dismantling process, he naturally received the words of his mentor.

< Aren't Aren's letters of recommendation useless? >

“Well, I don't know...?”

Seojun was speechless and received the mentor's words.

It was because the words of the mentor sounded plausible.

Somehow, the emperor in this dimension seemed to be quite different from the concept of an emperor that Seo Jun thought of.

In this case, it was doubtful that the emperor

would be allowed into the capital, let alone the imperial palace.

‘Ehh.'

Somehow... I felt like I would have to go through quite complicated things before meeting the emperor.

And just then.

“Wait a minute!”

Suddenly, Carls exclaimed in amazement.

Seojun suddenly wanted something and turned his head.

and looked at it.

For some reason, Carls was looking at Seo-jun with a shocked expression.

Why are you staring blankly at me?

“What did the bar just say?”

Carls asked Seo-jun in a trembling voice.

“Uh… well? did you say that?”

“no! Before that!”

Previously?

“You mean you can do that because you're the emperor?”

“no!!!!”

Carls shouted with an expression that seemed like he was going to die of frustration.

“Didn’t I say it was Aren’s letter of recommendation!!!”

“Uh…”

That was what my mentor said, not me.

And you know, why are you asking?

Seo-joon was a little unfair...

but anyway.

“Why is that?”

“Why is that?!”

Carls shouted again with a shocked expression.

“Yeah, how do you know Aren?”

“That's right...”

Seo-joon didn't know how to answer this for a moment.

If you think about it...

Seo-joon didn't know how he came to know Aren either.

It was the last day that Seo-joon met Aren for the first time.

It was when I came to this dimension for 10 months of training.

At that time, Seo-jun was stuck in a deep mountain and practiced only repeatedly.

The Apostle Ceremony is coming and

until then, I had to develop the strength to deal with the great voice.

I couldn't be interested in anything other than training.

So naturally, I didn't really investigate this dimension.

I thought it would have its own civilization, but I didn't confirm it.

I literally just practiced.

Just repeating the training like that, suddenly.

I had met Aren.

That's why Seo-joon didn't know how to answer this.

“How come?”

At least this seemed like the right amount.

Seojun nodded his head, very satisfied with his explanation.

But maybe Carls didn't like Seo-jun's explanation.

“What the hell...”

Carl's expression contorted for an instant.

To be precise, it was as if there was no way he could know Aren because of ‘somehow'.

Perhaps because of that, Carl's expression began to twist.

He seemed to think that Seojun was making fun of him.

And because of Carl's personality, if he felt that way, he would have rushed right into it.

But is it because I just saw Seo-joon's inaction?

“this person...!”

Carls only trembled his fists.

I was unable to take any action.

Carls stood there swaying like that for a long time.

And after some time

“Didn’t you say that you received a letter of recommendation…?”

He asked again in a voice filled with anger.

Seojun nodded and responded to Carl's words.

“Ah yes. I am on my way after receiving Aren’s request.”

right at that moment.

“......”

“......”

“......”

For an instant, a thick silence descended around them.

At the sudden situation, Seo-joon could not hide his embarrassment.

That would also be the case, Carls stood still with his mouth wide open.

After that, not only Lieutenant Lelith but also

the entire Knights who were watching the situation were excited.

Why are you doing this... I want to do that for a while.

“That that that that that nonsense...!!!”

Carls exclaimed loudly with an expression of disbelief.

“Ah, could Aren-sama write a letter of recommendation for you, Cat?”

“Here I am.”

Seo-joon took out Aren's letter of recommendation from his bosom.

It was because it seemed that it would be faster to show it once than to explain it painfully.

Also, is it possible that Aren's mark was engraved on the letter of recommendation?

“......!!!!”

The look on Carl's face as he looked at the letter of recommendation was indescribable with words now available.

“Oh, oh, oh…!”

It seems Carls has lost his mind.

He was just spitting out bizarre words.

Lerritt, who had been backing away from Carl's appearance, strode forward.

The man who tried to kill Seo-joon for blocking the path of the punitive force.

“May I check it out...?”

Lelith cautiously asked Seo-jun.

It was a completely different attitude from the previous one, which was ignored and looked down on.

Seo-jun nodded slowly, and

Lelith quietly accepted the letter of recommendation from Seo-joon.

And then the moment you want to check the contents of the recommendation.

Pajijijijijik!!

Suddenly, with a strong spark, the letter of recommendation fell from Lelith's hand.

It seemed that it was made so that it could only be opened by the emperor.

Lerritt seemed to feel numb in his hands and repeatedly opened and closed his fists.

And Lelith is at the level of a cataclysm hero.

There weren't many beings who could make a hero of cataclysm like that with just a letter of recommendation.

“This can’t be…”

Perhaps because of that, Lelith’s expression also began to change to resemble that of Carl’s.

Seo-joon quietly said to his mentor.

“Aren seems to be quite well-known here, right?”

< I will. But well... In a way, it's a natural thing. Isn't it simple if you think about Seojun Kim's position on Earth? < Of course. Think of what Seojun Kim has done. Rather, you should do more than Mr. Aren >

The mentor continued to speak as if he had said it well.

< Above all, Seojun Kim is very popular at our transcendent academy! In particular, did you throw a punch at instructor Loki? >

< How did it spread? We are getting a lot of inquiries asking if you could open the lecture please !! well anyway < So that's what Kim said. Don't you want to take a real lecture? Anything doesn't matter! Join the instructor of Jecheon Daeseong and feed the instructor of the Jade Emperor! Something like this! If it's Seojun Kim's lecture, here and there... >

Seojun shook his head.

no, but wait.

What's the Jade Emperor's trick?

Didn't you say it was a lecture?

< In the meantime, dream trees of fraud will turn on the light in their eyes and run! Maybe instructor Loki will secretly apply...! >

Seo-joon lightly ignored the mentor's words.

to be so quiet

“You you… how can you do this…!”

After a while, Carls shouted as if he had come back to his senses.

Then he picked up the bounced letter of recommendation.

Then, with trembling hands, I opened the contents of the letter of recommendation...

“Huh?”

For a moment, Seo-joon could not hide his bewildered feeling.

Unlike Lelith, who sparked a strong spark,

Carls was casually checking the contents of the letter of recommendation.

Wasn't it made so that only the emperor could open it?

For a while, I wondered what I wanted to do.

“......”

Carl’s expression began to harden as he checked the contents of the letter of recommendation.

Eventually, Carls brooded over the contents of the letter of recommendation and gently lowered her gaze as if lost in thought for a moment.

Since Seo-joon did not know the contents of the letter of recommendation, Carl's reaction was questionable.

Of course, I was curious about what he wrote, but I didn't check.

That would be too.

‘You shouldn't look at the recommendation. You must protect this!'

Aren had asked for trust not to check the letter of recommendation.

That's why Seo-joon waited for Carls quietly, and

how much time had passed like that.

“Even if we go to the capital... His Majesty will not be able to meet us now.”

Carls slowly opened his mouth.

“Even if I want to meet you, I can’t.”

Somehow... Even with Aren's letter of recommendation, it seemed that the emperor was not a being that could be recklessly met.

The question of how great the emperor is.

At the same time, I wondered why he wrote a letter of recommendation if this was the case.

As if Carls knew about Seo-jun's question.

He shook his head slowly and spoke.

“It doesn't mean that. I literally want to meet you, but I can't meet you. That's...”

And Carls hesitated and couldn't open his mouth easily.

Is it okay to tell this to Seo-joon, so to a stranger?

He seemed quite troubled.

But is it because of Aren's letter of recommendation?

Carls bit his lower lip and continued.

“Since I went to subdue Beserk a while ago... I lost contact.”

and.

“……????????”

For a moment, Seo-joon felt like his mind went blank.

No, beyond the level of being dazed, I felt like I had evaporated outrageously.

That would also be the word that just came out of Carl's mouth.

“...... what did you just say?”

Because it was a word that should never be heard.

#

Seojun asked for details, but

Carls did not answer.

To be precise, he only repeatedly asked if he could go to the imperial palace and talk.

Apparently, the story was going to be long, and

since he was planning to go to the imperial palace anyway, Seo-joon nodded.

In that way, Seo-joon was able to follow Cals to the capital where the imperial palace was located.

And maybe it was because the place where he met Carls was not too far from the capital.

Contrary to what I thought, it didn't take long to reach the capital.

So, in fact, there was nothing to complain about.

It's just Seo-jun's story.

The story of the knights was a little different.

“Ouch...!”

“Keuk...!”

Each of the knights was making faces as if they were about to die.

They were knights at the level of S-class hunters, but their faces were wet with sweat.

It was also because each of them was carrying the corpses of flying spiders to the limit.

The corpses of a group of flying spiders each carried on their backs.

The reason they carried the bodies of the flying spiders was simple.

‘It's too heavy to lift alone.'

Because Seojun was too heavy to lift alone!

In fact, because Seo-jun had a key system, there were no restrictions on storage space.

However, the kibisis that Seojun possesses has infinite space, but it did not even completely reduce the weight.

Usually, I didn't feel much discomfort before the power was sealed.

But now I can't use my full power.

It was difficult to bear the weight of this many objects.

However, it is not possible to leave these corpses behind.

“Keah!”

“Please kill me!”

Everything else was up to the knights.

After so many twists and turns, the capital arrived.

Seo-jun was able to enter the imperial palace located in the center of the capital.

The space where the highest emperor in this dimension resides.

Since Seo-joon was a stranger here, he thought he would need to go through a fairly complicated procedure to enter the imperial palace.

“I have heard all the stories. Eat inside.”

For some reason, Seo-jun was able to enter the palace without any restrictions.

Following the guide, we arrived at the reception room of the imperial palace.

“I thought there would be a civilization like this… but it sure is grand.”

< No, you've been here for 10 months. What have you been doing in the meantime so you don't know anything ? < Anyway... >

The mentor shook his head.

Right then.

smart.

jump.

With a light knock, someone opened the door to the waiting room and entered.

It was an old man of advanced age, but

from the outward appearance of his dignity, he looked like a chamberlain.

“His Majesty wants to meet you.”

As expected, the chief chamberlain spoke politely.

By the way, do you want to die?

Didn't Carls say that the emperor was missing?

With Seo-joon questioning, Seo-joon got up following the chief chamberlain and

arrived at the place following his guidance.

It was none other than a large space located inside the imperial palace.

It felt like a conference room where government affairs were being conducted,

but sure enough, people who looked like nobles were seated around them.

And the man at the top.

“Carls...?”

He was none other than Carl.

Could it be that Kals is the emperor of the empire...? The moment when I was questioned.

“Ugh! What disrespect to the crown prince!”

Suddenly, a nobleman jumped up from his seat and shouted.

prince?

That which refers to the emperor's successor?

“ah.”

no wonder.

< Ever since we first met, I thought I was unlucky... Suck! >

I suddenly heard the muttering of the mentor in my arms.

Maybe what I was saying inside was just spitting it out.

As I glanced down, the mentor was covering his mouth with both hands and widening his eyes.

Seo-joon let out a smile without even realizing it.

Seo-joon's thoughts weren't too different from his mentor's murmur.

But the problem is that the mentor was in Seo-jun's arms.

And that the surroundings were quiet enough to hear the mentor's voice.

Silence that fell for a moment.

“What are you doing?!”

“Yeah man!!!”

The nobles who were seated began to stand up in unison.
