<Xiang Yu Lecture Progress 68.7% (+7%)>
<Merlin Lecture Progress 17.9% (+9%)>

“Agh.”

Seo-joon raised his hand to smooth his body, enduring the dizzying pain. As expected, his hands were covered with blood even though he only briefly brought it to see if blood was pouring from the torn wound.

“I don’t know if it’s embarrassing to die with you while trying to help.”

Seo-joon smirked and laughed because he knew that the wound was not fatal. Nevertheless, it was a serious injury.

It was no wonder that Seo-joon collapsed and fainted right now, but he forced himself to move, using his spear as a cane.

So-yeon stared blankly at Seo-joon, who was struggling to approach her.

Seo-joon, who stood in front of So-yeon after a long time, said.

“You’re not dead yet, are you? Ugh! Would you please say yes? I’m very anxious right now because I think I’ve been working for nothing.”

“No, I’m dead.”

So-yeon replied in a blunt voice without realizing it and for some reason, her voice seemed to tremble, but she tried to ignore it.

“Sigh, that’s a relief. First of all, we don’t have time, so let’s hurry up and get out.”

Seo-joon came to support So-yeon, however, So-yeon replied with a firm shake of her head.

“Who’s taking care of whom with that body right now?”

“But I can still move… Ugh!”

At that moment, Seo-joon fell to the floor.

When So-yeon looked at him, Seo-joon kept scratching his head and fixing his words, as if he was embarrassed.

“Haha…Then, wouldn’t we be able to go if we supported each other?”

Seo-joon approached So-yeon again.

He looks like he can’t even move, but he tried to take care of So-yeon somehow so she couldn’t tell at all whether Seo-joon was good or stupid.

Seo-joon supported So-yeon almost as if she was piggybacked.

So-yeon tried to help Seo-joon but she couldn’t move. However, Seo-joon moved silently without any complaints and, of course, his speed was infinitely slow.

During that long time, So-yeon didn’t say anything and Seo-joon did not know whether it was because she had no power to talk or if there was another reason.

After a long silence, the two came out of the dungeon.

The first thing they saw was the officials who were puzzled over the mana meter.

As expected, professional hunters didn’t come and Shin Young-seok who saw Seo-joon coming out of the dungeon quickly approached him.

“Participant Kim Seo-joon, where the hell did you go…?”

After confirming Seo-joon and So-yeon’s appearance, they opened their eyes wide and shouted.

“What the heck! Are you two okay? What’s going on inside?”

“I’ll give you an explanation later, so can you call the medical team first? As you can see, here ··”

Shin Young-seok took a closer look at So-yeon’s condition after hearing Seo-joon’s words.

She had a pale complexion and torn clothes. Above all her blood kept popping out of the cut left arm, but when he looked at it he thought that it was torn by something rather than being cut.

Shin Young-seok shouted, turning his head.

“Hey! You guys! Call medical assistance right now! It’s an emergency!”

Officials were surprised by Shin Young-seok’s sudden cry and looked at him.

“What are you doing? Hurry!!!”

However, following Shin Young-seok’s cry they began to move busily, and soon after, the medical support team hurriedly approached.

“…never think of you as a benefactor.”

At that moment, So-yeon’s voice was heard.

When Seo-joon lowered his gaze slightly, So-yeon was lowering her head with her lower lip broken with her teeth.

“I still think you’re wrong.”

“Think of it as you like.”

Seo-joon simply shrugged his shoulders and replied. Then the medical support team came close.

“How can you be like this? You have to go to the hospital right now!”

So-yeon was quickly escorted to the hospital on a stretcher.

When the news of the dungeon sweep contest was announced, the public was in a frenzy.

There were several reasons for that, and the first was the existence of Nerquila, a six-star monster that appeared in a two-star dungeon.

Of course, measurement error dungeons were rare, but they were not inexistent. As a result, there were quite a few accidents that led to the loss of the lives of professional hunters.

However, even if it was a measurement error dungeon, something like Nerquila never appeared.

If the dungeon was a measurement error dungeon, a four- or five-star monster should have appeared like the manticore, which Seo-joon faced, not Nerquila, that was a six-star monster.

There has never been a case like this, so the attention of the association and the government as well as the people has been focused on it. At the same time, attention was also paid to the person who dealt with Nerquila.

It was obvious that the Dungeon sweep contest is a competition where students participate, not professional hunters. Anyway, it was like saying that one of the students got rid of Nerquila.

“Kim Seo-joon? I’ve never heard of that name before. This student got rid of Nerquila?”

“Wow, how can a student catch Nerquila? What academy is he from?”

“Hmm… Dream Academy? I heard he is from Dream Academy”.

Dream Academy and the name Kim Seo-joon were imprinted on the people’s minds.

“The Apostle of Temperance seeks Lord Calia.”

“The Apostle of Temperance?”

“I think it’s because of the warped dungeon that occurred in Korea.”

“Grandpa! I heard that the one who took care of the distortion monster was a student at Seo-yoon’s academy. Is this true?”

“If you’re referring to that unsightly slug— That’s right.”

“An unsightly slug?”

“…There is such a thing.”

The name Kim Seo-joon meant different things to different people.

Finally, Lee So-yeon’s life was not in danger. Unfortunately, the cut left arm could not be recovered, but there was an announcement that the leg would not interfere with life if it recovered well.

The dungeon sweep contest, which had so many ups and downs, ended like this. Of course, the aftermath of it was being derived into a new event again.

“My money…”

Seo-joon was just lying in the hospital bedroom and mumbling absent-mindedly without realizing it.

“My money…”

Seo-joon looked like he lost his soul.

Man-cheol said with a peculiar expression of disapproval.

“Isn’t it a waste to think about it?”

“What waste!? I was supposed to win! How can it not be a waste?”

“Plague, why did you come forward unnecessarily?”

Man-cheol shook his head.

The winner of the contest was not decided after all because the last round didn’t make sense.

It could not be called a match from the moment So-yeon met the six-star monster Nerquila due to an unknown phenomenon.

Above all, it was an ambiguous situation because under the regulations Seo-joon did not deal with the remaining dungeons.

However, it is impossible to have a rematch.

In the end, the organizers concluded after a long meeting that it was a joint victory.

“Isn’t it too much to split the prize money in half?”

The problem is that winning doesn’t mean much to Seo-joon.

“Should we just play rock, paper, scissors for the prize money? Or maybe we can just play Muk Chi Pa.”

“Huh? I heard she lost her left arm in this accident.”

“I know.”

Click.

“I’m here.”

At that moment, Seo-yoon opened the door of the hospital room and entered.

“Plague, if you’re going to do this, why did you save her?”

“Argh! I don’t know!”

And Seo-yoon tilted her head and asked Man-cheol at the strange scene in front of her.

“What’s wrong with him?”

“Never mind. It’s just that his personality exploded at the thought of cutting the prize money in half.”

“What? His personality exploded?”

In response to Seo-yoon’s question, Man-cheol briefly explained the situation.

“Why would you split the prize money in half? You won the championship.”

Seo-joon tilted his head again as if he was wondering what she was talking about.

“What?”

“What?”

Seo-joon and Man-cheol opened their eyes wide and looked at Seo-yoon.

“Oh? You didn’t know?”

“What do you mean?”

Seo-yoon calmly continued her explanation at Seo-joon’s nervous question.

“Lee So-yeon gave up on her own.”

“What? Lee So-yeon gave up?”

Seo-yoon nodded.

In addition, Lee So-yeon confessed with her own mouth the cheating she did in this contest. She also accused Lee Seok-man, the head of the East Academy and her father, of numerous irregularities he had committed. So there are a lot of legal procedures going on right now.

“So-yeon did something like that? Why all of a sudden?

Seo-joon was quite confused as he remembered the last words So-yeon said.

‘I won’t change my mind that you’re wrong.’

Seo-joon thought So-yeon would not change her behavior.

“Actually, I asked because I was curious, too. Why is she doing this all of a sudden? I thought she would use another trick because she told me that she still thought I was wrong.”

Seo-yoon shrugged her shoulders.

“…”

Seo-joon kept his mouth shut.

Seo-yoon wondered for a moment at Seo-joon’s sudden heavy atmosphere, but soon continued to talk.

“In any case, Seo-joon is the sole winner. On top of that, the government proposed additional benefits to Seo-joon as a responsibility for this incident, but I’ll tell you the important thing…Tax exemption for prize money and 100 million additional prize money.”

“100 million more prize money?”

“Yes. Actually, it’s not just prize money but the amount of damage compensation.”

“Ah…”

Seo-joon nodded softly.

In any case, it was an unchanged fact that 100 million more was given.

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes. The most important fact remains.”

Seo-yoon smiled brightly and shouted again.

“Dream Academy advanced to the third division!!”

“What? Is that true?”

“Yes! Thanks to Seo-joon’s victory! There are a number of powers that have been elevated accordingly, but what’s important to you is…With the presence of academy officials, you can raid up to a four-star dungeon.”

“That’s really good.”

Seo-joon was genuinely pleased with the results.

They could have advanced to the third division just by staying still in the last competition, but he missed it along with the prize money because he was disqualified.

Seo-yoon said it was okay, but he knew how much Seo-yoon loved the academy, so it remained a burden on his mind. However, the fact that they were promoted to the third division this time was a great thing for Seo-joon.

“It’s all thanks to Seo-joon. Thank you very, very much.”

Sure enough, Seo-yoon smiled happily.

Seeing that made Seo-joon feel better.

“That’s why, Seo-joon. That…”

Then suddenly, Seo-yoon hesitated and opened her mouth and Seo-joon nodded as if he understood.

“Of course. It’s time for other students to take classes besides me.”

“…thank you. Thank you for understanding.”

“Understanding is a given.”

Seo-joon waved his hands as if he didn’t care.

Seo-joon and Seo-yoon looked at each other without saying a word.

“Anyway. Is everything alright?”

Man-cheol’s voice was heard at that moment as he was looking at Seo-joon and Seo-yoon with an expression of disapproval.

Seo-joon smiled and said,

“Yes. I don’t think I need to do Muk Chi Pa.”

“I know.”

Man-cheol continued, shaking his head.

“Then can we eat now? I’m starving.”

“Oh, it’s already this late. What do you want to eat? I’ll buy you everything.”

“Plague, you recovered your personality right away just because you got a prize. Well, I’m fine with anything expensive. Seo-yoon, is there anything you want to eat?”

“Well, I like sushi!”

“Sushi is good.”

With Man-cheol’s words, the three got up from their seats, nodding their heads satisfactorily.

The food at the sushi restaurant they went to at Seo-yoon’s recommendation was quite delicious. Of course, the price was quite high, but compared to the 400 million won he will receive in the future, it was only a small amount of blood.

Seo-joon gladly paid the bill.

After eating like that, the three scattered in search of things to do.

Man-cheol headed home with the words that he would come back tomorrow while Seo-yoon said she had something to do at the academy, so she went to Dream Academy.

Seo-joon, who returned to the hospital room alone, turned on his smartphone as soon as he lay in bed and accessed the Transcension Academy because he could buy Longinus spear now if he wanted it.

Of course, the prize money has not come in yet, so it was not right now.

Nevertheless, the reason Seo-joon entered the Transcension Academy was to look at equipment other than Longinus’ spear.

Currently, Seo-joon has 400 million won in prize money, and 25 million from the disposal of monster bodies.

To be precise, it was money that would soon come into his hand, but the government would not take away the prize money, so it was nothing short of confirmed money and Longinus spear costs only 100 million won.

Even if he bought Longinus’ spear, he would have 325 million won left.

Of course, for Seo-joon, who has to spend a lot of money in the future, it was not a lot.

“The problem is I don’t know how much the free pass is…”

However, it was not known how much money he needed in the future.

There are two things that Seo-joon will spend his money on right now, weapons and a free pass.

The weapon had a clear price of 100 million, but the Free Pass price was currently unknown.

Presumably, at the end of the current free pass, the price will be adjusted due to cause and effect.

“Even if I save money now, I’m just increasing the cause and effect, right?”

This means that the cause and effect are measured by adding the remaining money.

Of course, individual lectures were also measured, so it didn’t matter, but when he saved money to take individual lectures, he didn’t know when he would save up to 27 billion won.

So, Seo-joon’s conclusion was.

“I’ll get another piece of equipment!”

Saving the money was a waste.

“What other equipment do I need besides weapons?”

Seo-joon immediately accessed the Transcension Academy excitedly.
