Academy Silver Gatekeeper

182 – United Academy – 3

Hehe!―

“Huh!”

The A-level talented person who was ahead of him swung his sword with enthusiasm.

Then, someone who appears to be a martial arts type lands a kick and the boss falls down.

It’s not dead. Even if you hit it well, will it be subdued or faint?

They knew that too, so the magic group waiting at the back immediately cast magic.

“Lightning!—”

The lightning chain explodes directly at the boss monster of this dungeon.

Sparks fly in all directions and the smell of burning flesh wafts.

The boss screams and resists, but they are not the ones to just watch.

“Hold your breath!”

Those who were waiting rush in at once.

No matter how strong it is due to the cataclysm, it is difficult to go beyond this.

Rather, it is acceptable to endure this much against these people.

Guuuuu-

With the sound of being out of breath, the huge snake falls down.

The talented people, who remained tense until the end, finally cheered when the leader confirmed it.

“Wow!”

“Fuck, that was so hard!”

Everyone sits down and lets out heavy breaths.

Plus, complaining about the boss who is now dead is a bonus.

“It’s crazy. How did the Giant Serpent become such a difficult person?”

“Not long ago, we had enough people here with half the people…”

The number of people who entered this dungeon is only eight grade A.

If you include me who came in just in case, there are nine.

This number of people came in to conquer the A-grade dungeon.

If it were like before, I would have heard people criticizing me and saying what a waste of manpower.

But not anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to say that it’s not enough?

“Thank you for your hard work, Baek Seo-jin.”

While the team members are taking a break, the leader approaches and offers to shake hands.

Thanks to this, I felt a little embarrassed and ended up laughing without realizing it.

“What a hardship. Did I do anything? “I just followed from behind from a distance.”

“How frustrating must it have been to see people with grade A abilities being stumped by grade A monsters. If that’s hard work, wouldn’t it be hard work?”

Well, that’s fine. I don’t know about anyone else, but the boss monster just wasn’t at an ordinary A-grade level.

It would have to be A grade, S grade, or somewhere in between. Um, maybe an A+?

There’s nothing to be ashamed of when you’re fighting a guy like that. Rather, this is a good thing.

“Not at all. That boss monster a moment ago was no ordinary A grade. Those people fought very well. “It’s amazing that no one was seriously injured.”

“It helps me a lot to hear you say that. In fact, the team members were feeling a little anxious as there were a lot of seriously injured people recently. Doesn’t that mean it’s gotten a little better?”

What followed was a repetition of what had always been done.

Retrieve the boss monster’s body and check whether the dungeon has been cleared.

After treating the minor wound, I went outside and sighed with relief.

I took a quick look around and, unfortunately, it looks like this is the only one with no serious injuries.

The auxiliary series that were waiting in advance quickly run somewhere.

Each team has a talented person in charge of treatment, but emergency treatment is limited.

If you can’t pour out magic power on one person, and most of the battles are that intense.

In all likelihood, when conquering a dungeon, the auxiliary series will also run out of mana.

“It looks like there was a seriously injured person over there.”

“I know, right. Well, it looks like Han Ji-yoon provided a good backup.”

It is not possible to have an S grade waiting for every A grade.

Therefore, it was originally placed in a high-level place in A-level dungeons.

Today, it was me and Han Ji-yoon, and it seems like Han Ji-yoon had a harder time.

“Are you finished, Mr. Seojin?”

As I was taking a quick look to see what the other teams were doing, Han Ji-yoon came up next to me.

The expression on his face is not very bright, so it seems like a lot of things happened inside.

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work. Mr. Jiyoon.”

“It’s hard work. Well, I was fine, but I’m worried about the team in charge of this dungeon.”

“Looking at it, it looks like there were some seriously injured people.”

Then Jiyoon Han nodded and sighed.

As expected, the cataclysm situation in that dungeon was more serious.

This is why the casualty rate of people with special abilities is rapidly increasing not only in Korea but also in other countries.

“It’s a shame that I stepped forward. If I had made a mistake, we might have all been killed in action instead of injured.”

“I remember the level of their team members was also good.”

“That’s right. “It wasn’t the level of our allies that was the problem, but the level of the enemy that was too high.”

“It’s almost equivalent to S-rank,” Han Ji-yoon sighed again.

It seemed frustrating not knowing when and how the A grade would change.

“Well, everyone is training hard whenever they get the chance. It will get better.”

“I guess so. They didn’t get this far by luck, so they will do well.”

In any case, these are people who make more than one serving. So I don’t have to worry.

For me, I’m busy taking care of people who can’t even eat 0.5 servings, let alone 1 serving.

“Did you hear more news than that?”

“What news?”

“World United Academy. The words were coming out little by little.”

Following Kang Min-seong, Ma Hak-jun, and now Han Ji-yoon, that’s the story.

“I heard that story from the dean and president a while ago.”

“As expected.”

Han Ji-yoon, who nodded, knew that.

Rather than dealing with monsters or villains, it is about helping people with special abilities grow.

When it comes to that, I’m more trustworthy than anyone else or something.

“What do you think? About that.”

“I am looking at it positively. Faculty and students coming from all over the world, as well as training instructors and resident security personnel. Those who grew up in that way return to their home countries and those people train their own country’s juniors. If this is repeated, it will get better.”

“You are spot on. I heard everyone is in agreement because of that.”

The United Academy in itself does not have much significance.

At best, it’s just sending selected talented people from each country.

However, after those people grew up well and returned to their home country.

If I could pass on what I saw, heard, and experienced there to my juniors.

It is certain that it will have a positive impact in some way.

“I think it would be perfect if Seojin goes there.”

“If there is an examiner position.”

“Aren’t you too obsessed with that position? “How about just a professor, or an instructor?”

“It’s because I don’t like the idea of continuing to teach.”

“Ah.”

Jiyoon Han nods her head as if she understands.

In fact, it’s because I like not being a professor or instructor, even if it’s because of my characteristics.

Wouldn’t it be better to answer that I don’t have any thoughts on those two positions right now?

“Then I could act as an examiner and instructor, something like that.”

“If possible. “If possible.”

As I was saying this, a fact suddenly occurred to me.

“But isn’t it too early to say this?”

There is no doubt that the establishment of the Union Academy is good news.

However, according to Kang Min-seong and Ma Hak-jun, they say that the story has only just come out?

“Huh?”

However, Han Ji-yoon looks rather embarrassed.

“What is it. Seojin, didn’t you know?”

What does this mean? What do I not know?

“Irina.”

“Is it Rina?”

Why does the story about Lina suddenly come up here?

“He’s been going in and out of the portal like it’s his own home for the past few days, shooting around in various countries?”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“From what I heard from the S-ranks in each country, are they strongly advocating the joint academy issue to their leaders?”

“… “Huh?”

It was an embarrassing story. No, why is Lina doing such a thing?

“There’s Chairman Kang’s granddaughter there. Soohyun Kim? I heard that friend is also following along and meeting Chairman Kang’s disciples for another meeting. I also know that it is the United Academy case.”

Even Soohyun? What on earth are these two doing?

‘… Ah.’

A story that Soohyun and Rina exchanged a while ago came to mind.

If the joint academy plan is really planned, the location for establishment should be Korea.

At the time, I thought it was a joke and just ignored it.

Let alone a plan, it hasn’t even been officially mentioned yet.

I never thought I’d already be wandering around like this!

“As you may know, Seojin, Chairman Kang’s network is quite extensive. You’re famous for pampering your family. If the granddaughter moves like this, she will think that it is her chairman’s will, and the disciples will think seriously and move together. There are a lot of people there, both talented and political.”

For some reason, Suhyeon seemed quite busy a few days ago.

I thought it was just because the bronze students didn’t listen.

After listening to Han Ji-yoon, I saw that he was wandering around very hard!

“Irina… Ugh. That’s crazy. Wherever we go, everyone is in nervous mode. Well, I’m worried about how much they’ll hit me. It’s so damn true that other S-classes are reluctant to cause conflict. A guy like that is asking me to do something, but who would say ‘I don’t like it’? Unless you’re crazy.”

I was able to see once again how much Rina thought of me.

In front of me, he still shows a calm demeanor, but external evaluations are still negative.

“Anyway, wait a little longer. “I’m sure you’ll hear the news, right?”

I thought that the ‘more’ that Ji-yoon Han said would still take about a month or two.

[This morning, commanders-in-chief from around the world simultaneously issued statements. To combat the current cataclysm, not just the nation, but the entire world has joined forces to form one gigantic and perfect educational institution… ]

[As a place to reveal the know-how of each country and share information about dungeons and monsters… ]

“…”

I didn’t know that it would take less than a week.

[ According to what is known so far, Korea is the likely location for the joint academy… ]

I had to touch my forehead while thinking of Suhyun and Rina who succeeded despite all their efforts.

Hey. If this is the case, how much do I have to pay them both?
