I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Side Story Chapter 17 - The Empire's Teacher...? (2)

The missing emperor is back!

What happened in the meeting room quickly spread throughout the imperial palace.

And at the same time, the imperial palace literally turned upside down.

Even so, the emperor lost contact after he left to subdue Beserk.

Beserk is a being in the position of a demon king on Earth.

The fact that we lost contact after going to subjugate such an existence made everyone think this way.

the emperor is dead

However, since the body has not been found yet, it is only said that it is missing.

In the meantime, the nobles of the imperial palace accepted the death of the emperor as an established fact.

However, such an emperor suddenly returned to life.

And that too while being lifted up on the shoulders of some stranger!

“How can this happen...!”

“What the hell happened!”

The imperial palace turned into a real mayhem.

And with the atmosphere of the imperial palace.

“Your Majesty is missing?”

“Is that really true?”

The news of the emperor's disappearance also spread throughout the empire.

In the meantime, the fact of the emperor's disappearance was treated as a top secret.

It was also because it was clear that the people of the empire would be thrown into chaos if the fact that the emperor was missing was known.

Especially if it was because of Beserk.

Therefore, the disappearance of the emperor was unknown to the empire.

“Your Majesty is missing?”

“That’s right! And I heard this from my nephew who works at the imperial palace... I heard that Beserk has resurrected?”

“Be Beserk!!! wait a minute! Then His Majesty went missing...?”

“Three worlds...!”

As expected, the people of the empire began to be greatly agitated by the fact that the emperor was missing.

But that's for a while.

“But this time, His Majesty said that he returned to the imperial palace again.”

“……?”

“……?”

The faces of dumb people.

“Didn't you just say that His Majesty was missing?”

“It was. Until yesterday.”

“Until yesterday…?”

“I also heard this from my nephew, but he said that some stranger carried His Majesty on his back and returned to the imperial palace!”

People couldn't understand the situation at once.

Let's say that the missing emperor suddenly returned.

By the way, carrying His Majesty on his back?

Is that a stranger too?

“for a moment. If you're a stranger...?”

A person's name that comes out naturally in the process.

“Are you talking about Seojun Kim? The one who saved our city of Pindos during the last monster raid?”

“okay! That's him! And not just the city of Pindos, but he saved cities throughout the empire!”

“Oh my God!!”

“It's not enough to help the empire, even to His Majesty the Emperor!”

People couldn't help but be astonished at the name of Seo-jun.

“I heard that you have become His Highness's teacher this time...”

“He would be enough to be His Highness's teacher. Not cancer.”

“Right! Kim Seo-joon is a person second to Aren, the current Taesa (太師)! Or maybe even more?”

Seo-jun's name naturally began to spread throughout the empire.

just one thing.

“By the way... What about Beserk? What happened to Beserk?”

“If His Majesty returned safely... Has Beserk been subjugated?”

“Well… well about that yet. Could it have been subjugated?”

The cause of the emperor's disappearance.

There were only rumors about Beserk.

In this way, the entire empire, including the imperial palace, has been turned upside down.

Luxurious bedroom located inside the Imperial Palace.

“Umm…”

Elian could feel his dizzy mind slowly returning.

To be precise, I could feel my hardened mind being released.

And just then.

“your majesty?”

A familiar voice came from somewhere.

Hearing that voice, Elian gently raised his eyelids.

With that slightly open view, the face of the crown prince, Carls, was glimpsed.

“Carls?”

“That's right. How are you coming to your senses?”

Carls was looking at Elian with a worried expression.

Seeing Carl's appearance, Elian calmly checked his body.

condition with no other abnormalities.

However, for some reason, the mind continued to ache, but there was no major problem.

“There is no particular problem, but…”

“Thank God. He passed out all of a sudden, so I thought it was something big.”

Only then was Carls able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Elian tilted his head involuntarily at the sight of Carl's like that.

Do you suddenly pass out alone?

I?

I thought about it for a while.... The

moment I thought about it.

jump.

Suddenly the door to the room opened and someone came inside.

Someone wants something for a while.

“Woah Carls.”

A dumbfounded voice echoed in Elian's ears.

At the same time, anger welled up in Elian's chest.

That would be the case first.

I don't know who the person who just entered was, but

he dared to call the prince's name frivolously.

The crown prince was literally the crown prince.

The existence that will become the ruler of the next empire.

There were only two people in the empire who could call such a crown prince by name.

Elian himself, the emperor of the empire.

And Aren, the Grand Master of the Empire.

However, Taesa, Aren, was overflowing with dignity and did not easily dispose of him.

So, in reality, the only being who treated Carls badly was Elian himself.

Still treat Carls badly?

This was a serious crime of insulting the imperial family.

and second.

This is the bedroom where the emperor himself resides.

No one had dared to come in like that.

If it was Aren, I would understand, but

as I said before, that existence couldn't be Aren.

Elian stood up with a feeling full of anger.

And a stupid guy in Elian's field of vision.

It was none other than Seojun.

“uh? Did you wake up?

Seo-jun greeted Elian when he woke up.

But why?

“How dare you...!”

For some reason, Elian looked quite angry.

Want something for a while.

“Your Majesty please!!!”

Suddenly, Carls appeared to block Elian's way.

Then, desperately, he began tearing Elian apart.

“Get out of the way, Carls! Now that bastard—!”

“Please do it in moderation!!! Did you already forget that you were beaten for talking to me?”

Carls shouted out loud.

Seemingly, Elian's movement stopped suddenly at the cry containing mana.

It was because he had never seen Carls like this before.

Even more so when it comes to yourself.

even.

“What what what?!”

Are you hitting me for no reason?

“Carls, you are now…!”

“If you get hit once, it's like, ‘Oh, I got hit. I will never fold again.' Isn't that what you should be thinking! Why is a person who is normally so cool and rational now doing that!!”

“......!!!!!!”

Elian's body froze as if facing Medusa's instructor's petrification ability.

Two eyes that seemed like they would tear apart.

His eyes were fixed on Carl's, and he did not intend to move.

It was just like that when the grown-up son brought his daughter-in-law and said, ‘My daughter-in-law is better than my mother!' It seemed like I heard a voice saying

What would you do if you faced the expression of parents who were betrayed by their children?

Perhaps because of that, Elian's expression was ‘How...! how! You can do that to me!!' It seemed to embody the expression he had seen.

Seeing Elian like that, Carls lowered his head.

That would be the case, no matter how much he was the crown prince.

No matter how private it is.

It was because Carl's remark just now went beyond disloyalty and was close to disrespect.

That's why even Kals was in a situation where he couldn't avoid punishment, but even Kals couldn't help it.

What kind of situation did you get when you couldn't actively stop it?

Didn't Elirian leave me alone and hundreds of billions of gold evaporated right in front of my eyes!

What will happen to me again this time?

No, I dare not even guess how it will be ripped off!

should be blocked

It just needs to be blocked.

If you commit disrespect once, you can save hundreds of billions of gold.

Pain is temporary but money is forever!

“Please keep your senses!!!”

Carls bit his teeth and shouted at Elian.

And the mentor who watched Carls like that.

< Have you already become Kim Seo-joon's disciple? >

the mentor muttered, shaking his head.

And despite the shocking spirit, did he listen to his mentor?

“What? student?”

Elian suddenly came to his senses and immediately asked Carls.

“A disciple? What does this mean?”

“Ah, that's...”

Carls hesitated for a moment, bewildered.

However, these were facts that could not be hidden anyway.

Carls has all the facts related to Seo-joon.

And he told Elian everything that had happened before.

End of such a long story.

“......”

Elian had nothing to say.

I really had nothing to say!

Elian repeated Carl's story over and over again.

First of all, putting aside the unbelievable facts...

No, I don't know why I have to put this aside, anyway.

If only the matters that need to be investigated right now.

Carl's tutoring expenses amounting to 50 billion gold per hour.

And it was 500 billion gold spent as compensation for mental damage.

“......”

Does this make sense?

First of all, what does mental damage compensation mean?

If you think about it, did I suffer psychological damage?

Elian's mind went blank for a moment.

“So here. All you have to do is sign the papers.”

Eventually, Carls handed over a document to Elian.

Upon receiving and confirming it, there was a conclusion written on it, along with complex details, asking permission to use a total budget of 1150 billion gold.

In addition to 500 billion gold, it was the sum of Carl's tutoring expenses of 650 billion won.

And 1150 billion gold.

That was a ridiculous amount of about 1500 trillion won in Korean currency!

“Patience.”

Elian couldn't help but mutter involuntarily.

It was a very low-level statement as an emperor, but Elian didn't care at all.

I didn't even have the mind to care.

Rather, the fact that he did not swear more severely was to keep his dignity as an emperor!

Elian glared at Seo-joon in anger that consumed his mind.

“Hello, you bastard…!”

That moment.

“your majesty!!!!”

Once again, Carls blocked Elian.

However, Elian ignored Carls like that.

No matter how much Carls dissuades me, this time...!

“please!!!”

However, Carls did not back down at all.

“Just sign it!!”

Instead, he shouted out loud while pushing the approval documents...

“......”

Elian kept his mouth shut without even realizing it.

Who is the Emperor and who is the Crown Prince?

And now, Carl's actions were words and actions that deserved to be executed for blasphemy.

Even so, Elian couldn't blame it.

That would be too.

“Now you don’t have to ask or ask. If you really have to, just kill me and sign the papers!!”

If you ask me to kill you like that, how can you blame me?

Elian stared blankly at Carl's face, then slowly turned his gaze to look at Seo-jun.

At first glance, he was just an idiot.

It also had one screw missing somewhere.

But how the heck...

Then came Carl's sighed words.

“I understand what you are thinking, but Master is Aren-nim’s close friend.”

“What?! You say that person is Taesa’s close friend?”

Instead of answering, Carls pulled out a small piece of paper from his pocket.

Seo-joon's letter of recommendation written by none other than Aren.

Cals silently handed over the letter of recommendation to Elian.

Elian accepted Aren's letter of recommendation.

Then, as he slowly read the letter of recommendation, his expression began to change moment by moment.

Elian checked all the letters of recommendation.

“...... I can't admit it.”

Elian muttered with a complex and subtle expression.

“your majesty!”

Carls shouted at this, but Elian did not break his will.

Well, Seojun could fully understand Elian.

It's not even the dog's name for the 1150 billion gold.

It was an insane... no, insane amount of about 1500 trillion won in Hanwha.

It was unreasonable to just trust the words of Carl and Aren and willingly spend money.

but.

“However, the act of reversing what has already been promised is going beyond the face of the empire and disgracing Carl and Prince Aren.”

Didn't Elian mean that?

He looked at Seo-joon and continued talking.

“Above all, what you did was definitely for the sake of the empire. The promised reward is reasonable enough...”

Is it?

Elian had doubts for a moment... but anyway.

“But... Vettel's behavior was a bit problematic.”

Why don't you come out and make me ripped off money?

I'm going to have to do a tax audit and get some money.

Elian murmured quietly behind his back.

“Anyway, I will give you the gold you promised. I just want to make one suggestion to you.”

“A suggestion?”

At Elian's words, Seo-joon tilted his head.

Seeing Seo-joon like that, Elian immediately continued.

“You must have heard about why I went missing, right?”

Seojun nodded slowly.

Elian went missing after leaving to subdue Beserk.

Aren was able to find Elian, but

was not told what had happened to Elian.

So Seo-joon asked what had happened in the meantime.

Didn't you come here to ask about it?

Well... the money I had to receive was a bonus.

Seeing Seo-joon nod, Elian opened his mouth again.

“When I heard that Beserk had appeared, I left immediately. Because Beserk can be a great threat to the Empire.”

In Astelgia, Beserk is the same title as the Demon King of Earth.

And the Elian that Seojun saw was not at all inferior to most beginners.

I don't know what level Beserk is at, but if it's Elian, he'll be able to handle it.

Seo-jun waited for Elian's words to follow, and

as if living up to Seo-jun's expectations, Elian slowly opened his mouth.

however.

“To begin with, I haven’t even met Beserk.”

The answer I heard was a little different from what I expected.

Want something for a while.

“So let me make you a suggestion. If you accept this offer...”

Elian said, shaking the document in his hand.

“Give me twice the amount of gold written on this document—.”

“okay! call!”

“……?”

Elian's expression went blank at the sudden outburst of Seojun's cry.

Seo-joon's expression as he looked at it with a dumbfounded mind.

“Unconditionally call! How can I leave right now?”

Seo-joon began to approach as if he would do it unconditionally.

But are you leaving right now?

I haven't even brought out the contents of the proposal yet?

And right at that moment.

“your majesty!!!”

Cals was frightened and stopped Elian.

That would be the money written on the documents now.

That was 115 billion gold, including Carl's tutoring expenses.

Double that is 2300 billion gold.

It was about 3,000 trillion in 2 views in Hanwha!

I don't know what Elian is trying to suggest.

No, he must have thought he was trying to make an otherwise impossible proposal.

But you're thinking wrong.

Can not be done.

Absolutely not!

Carls shouted loudly that he should leave the world.

“It's not possible! What the hell is that now-! town!”

At that moment, a violent hand covered Carl's mouth.

where I looked at it slowly.

There, Seo-joon was blocking Carl's mouth with a single look.

Seojun blocked Carl's mouth and asked Elian.

“So what is your offer?”

“......”

Elian was worried about how to accept this moment.

Then suddenly came Carl's expression.

It could be summed up in just one word.

fucked up

#

“So...”

Aren couldn't believe the story he just heard.

no, more precisely.

Dududududududuuk.

I couldn't believe the astronomical amount of gold pouring out of Seojun's kibisis!

Patty pounding.

Patter.

Even at this moment, gold was pouring endlessly from Kibisis.

It went beyond accumulating dozens of piles of gold and began to cover the entire Aren's residence.

Where did you get that much gold from?

Even in this short time.

No, what do you do with that much weight?

“No, what is this...”

Aren couldn't believe the current situation at all.

It's been such a long time.

It's been a really long time.

“Whoa! There are many.”

Seojun was finally able to pour out all the gold.

Seo-joon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

“How much power can I get back with this?”

“......”

Aren couldn’t figure out how to answer this.

I literally couldn't get a hold of it.

That's because the amount of gold was too much!

“You have to try it once to know, but 50%... no, at least 70% seems easy. Still, I wonder if full power would be too much.”

“Um... I can't seem to get my full strength back.”

“It also means that Kim Seo-joon’s power is enormous.”

At Aren's words, Seo-joon was silent for a moment as if he was in trouble.

And a word that followed.

“Still, if you add in what you earn later, you can get it all back. Maybe it will be enough to bring you back to Earth.”

“...... yes?”

Aren immediately doubted his ears.

Can I make more money here?

Even to the causation to return to Earth?

How?

“Because the emperor made me an offer.”

“Are you talking about Elian? What the hell did Elian suggest...?”

“It's related to Beserk... Ah! This will take a little bit of Aren's help, so the story will be a little longer...

”

Seojun and Aren slowly walked away.

The room the two left.

Only Carl and Mentor were left there.

Carls and Mentor looked at the place where Seo-jun left with dumbfounded faces.

Then I looked at the piles of gold that were full again.

What... Two people who have nothing to say.

“Hey mentor… did you say that?”

In the meantime, Carl's voice was heard.

< Yes. >

“You said the name of the academy was also a transcendent academy.”

< Yes. >

“That...”

Carls couldn’t open his mouth easily as if hesitating.

However, as if he had made a big decision, he closed his eyes and said.

“Is there anything like work there by any chance? I think I need to take it off a little bit with my body…”

< W I’ll look into it as soon as I get connected… >

The mentor could fully understand Carl’s feelings.
