Chapter 14 – Test

After the wise man left, Lee Jin-Seong did not budge from the place where he was located and focused on his learned vocation. It’s past the afternoon and into the evening. Until the sunset and the white moon rose in the deep night sky, Lee Jin-Seong sat on the bare floor.

As time went by, the noisy and hectic day disappeared out of nowhere, and only tired homeless people gathered among the scattered stands to avoid the night.

Homeless people were sitting around a large drum can with a fire or overlapping paper boxes and newspapers to sleep.

Their groans. The people looked terrible like they haven’t washed up. They were complaining and drinking soju. There was even a homeless woman who looked blankly at her hair on the glass wall.

Their voices. Their images were being accurately drawn in his head.

Lee Jin-Seong spent a whole night sitting upright.

‘I think I understand a little bit now.’

The overlapping objects recovered their precise appearance, and the unidentified noises that had been echoed were distinguished, and their voices were restored.

Lee Jin-Seong reached the point where his disciples took a year to reach. However, Lee Jin-Seong was neither satisfied nor conceited.

‘It should be usable during combat.’

Lee Jin-Seong thought with his eyes closed. His position was less than that of an ant on the palm of his hand compared to that of a wise man.

It was then.

Srrrr…..

Lee Jin-Seong felt his consciousness slowly transferred to another place.

His view as he looked down at the darkened market quickly narrowed. Then, Lee Jin-Seong returned to his body.

And Lee Jin-Seong thought for a moment. He realized that he was standing in a very strange space.

“…This place?”

A strange space beyond common sense. Lee Jin-Seong stood in a maze of winding stone steps in all directions.

‘This is not a place… ….’

He was now inside the tarot card.

It was then.

Tklk, Tkkk, Tllk…….

He heard iron boots stepping on the stairs from here, where there were only stone steps. Lee Jin-Seong calmly turned his head in search of the direction of the sound.

Squeak…

Not far away, a wooden door opened, and a black silhouette was seen entering it. The silhouette turned its head toward Lee Jin-Seong as it tried to go inside.

‘It wants me to follow.’

The silhouette went straight into the door and disappeared. Lee Jin-Seong immediately followed the enigmatic silhouette.

Squeak…

Lee Jin-Seong, likewise, grabbed and pushed the doorknob of the wooden door. Then, warm air caused Lee Jin-Seong’s face through the opening gap.

The warm air smelled like a book.

“…And this place?”

When he opened the door, a huge space appeared beyond my imagination. It was a huge library.

Numerous bookshelves were lined around the vast and large main hall, and the structure was that it could go upstairs through spiral stairs connected to the main hall. The stairs of the spiral stairs were indestructibly connected to the ceiling, and each stair was lined with bookshelves packed with books.

And in the middle of the hall. Someone in black armor stood with their back showing.

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong quietly walked out to the center. The yellow sun was leaking through the stained glass into the center of the hall.

Srrrr…….

Soon after, the knight of the black man’s armor began to take off the helmet he was wearing.

Clattering…

Then a white skull head appeared where the helmet was covering.

Sneak…

The skeleton knight turned around and faced Jin-Seong. The white bone was staring at Jin-Seong.

Subsequently, a heavy voice came out of the skull.

<You are the chosen One……Go to where the regressor stayed…….>

At that moment, the sun shone inside and quickly darkened. The smell of books disappeared, and the smell of fishy blood vibrated inside.

The skeleton knight recited.

And as soon as it finished saying that. A wave of blood poured inside, breaking the stained glass. In an instant, the place was flooded with blood, and Jin-Seong’s vision was darkened in an instant. * * * “Whoo…….” And Jin-Seong took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes quietly, he could see the blue sky with the morning sun shining brightly. “… I’m back.” The ritual returned to the Yangjae Flower Market after escaping from the place where blood had been eroded. The skeleton knight certainly warned of the events ahead. He didn’t know who it was, but the skeleton suggested a great deal. “Go to the place where the regressor stays.….” ‘I don’t think there’s much reason to go to school right now.’ At this time of the year, there is a crisis due to the chairman’s conspiracy. However, such a conspiracy was a history that was supposed to be lightly overpowered by Yushin. “But there’s going to be a disaster?” That sounds like. It was inevitable to interpret it as meaning that there was some kind of problem with Yushin, who had to play the role. “…….” And Jin-Seong looked carefully at the tarot cards in his hand. One of the pentacle stars stretched out. It was like the queen’s halo was shining blue. + The queen of Pentacles is equipped with a functional “See Through.” Proficiency in See Through has become ‘expert’. + Jin-Seong put the card in the air. The tarot card slid into the air and disappeared. “Yushin…… I must meet him first.” * * * A little later. The guard post at the main gate of Hwanin Military Academy. It was originally a site of the Military Academy in Nowon-gu. However, the Military Academy was completely removed from the map after the First World War, and the surrounding area was devastated. As a result, the Jungnang-cheon river and Wangsuk-cheon river, which were flowing into the Han River, merged into one and turned into a huge river trunk that winds around the site of the Korea Military Academy. Therefore, two bridges had to be used to enter Hwanin Military Academy. He had to pass a guard post to enter the bridge. Lee Jin-Seong stayed up all night and headed straight to the military academy. ‘What’s going on with Yushin?’ Originally, there was no significant crisis at the military academy at this time. Before the regression, Jin-Seong had heard quite a bit of what Yushin had gone through. ‘This is the year Yushin was 17. He was killing the dead at this time…….’ However, the scene he saw through tarot in the morning was ominous. ‘There must be reasons that the tarot warned me. So I need to investigate.’ If Yushin had not been doing what he had to do at this time, it would never have been known what would have happened. However, under the current circumstances, Jin-Seong has no justification for entering the military academy. He has no choice but to apply for an aptitude test. Aptitude test Anyone who has the qualifications to become a cadet can apply for an aptitude test and enter the school. It was necessary to enter the school and to meet Yushin. After the preparation, Jin-Seong approached the guard post to enter Hwanin Military Academy. * * * The guard post at Hwanin Military Academy was a splendid building decorated with white marble. At that time, Lee Jin-Seong, approached by a cadet serving as a guard, was found. ‘Who’s this now?’ Yoo Jae-hak looked closely at Lee Jin-Seong walking from afar. Then, as usual, he began to assess the risk of those accessing the guard post. Sssssrrr. Then, Yoo Jae-hak’s eyes showed red energy from Lee Jin-Seong. His use of dysfunction is ‘risk detection’ (B). It was a detection function that allows an intuitive judgment of the target’s propensity and risk. “That’s crazy…… Who is that……?” Yoo Jae-hak lifted his forearm with goosebumps. ‘He’s a killer!’ The red energy that surrounds Jin-Seong’s body. It was ominous energy found in those who killed dozens of humans. The worker standing next to him said. “…Guard? He’s getting closer.” “Call headquarters for backup.” “What?” Yoo Jae-hak looked serious when the worker looked like he was playing a joke again. “It’s a real situation. Take this seriously.” Yoo Jae-hak did not know Lee Jin-Seong’s purpose, but he knew he was a dangerous person. Only then did the worker rush into the guard post and start radioing. Yoo Jae-hak still had his eyes fixed on Lee Jin-Seong. Then he put his hand on a knife. “We need to intimidate him with the upper hand from the start.’ Yoo Jae-hak guessed Lee Jin-Seong’s identity. “The man may be the dead man who signed a contract with a high-ranking Dungeon.’ The deceased usually referred to the servants of the demons who signed with the Dungeons. They became the foremen of foreign objects, not on the side of humans, causing confusion in human society and creating all kinds of social divisions and conflicts. Whoo. Yoo Jae-hak took a deep breath without realizing it. He didn’t think he could beat that bare-handed man even if he pulled out a knife. At that time, Lee Jin-Seong ghostly stopped in front of Yoo Jae-hak’s range. And calmly revealed his purpose. “I’m here to take part in today’s aptitude test.” Yoo Jae-hak asked, hiding his tension. “……Why do you smell like rotten flesh and blood?” “You seem to be mistaken.” Yoo Jae-hak’s expression hardened at his answer. “An ordinary human being does not smell like you.’ Yoo Jae-hak’s vigilance turned into conviction. “You’re a killer.” Ckkk. And he held the knife so that he could pull it out at any time. Lee Jin-Seong looked at Yoo Jae-hak quietly. Yoo Jae-hak is similar to when he was young. Lee Jin-Seong knew somewhat about Yoo Jae-hak. He has been an excellent swordsman since he was in military school and was nicknamed “Sword Expert.” Sometimes, when he is hooked on one thing, he persistently holds on to it, but that personality has generally worked positively. ‘…I would have survived a long time if I had a better stimulus.’ But he also faces death with the advent of the dark tower. If so, it would be better to be stimulated at a younger age. So Jin-Seong took a step forward. “……!” It was that moment. The moment Jin-Seong approached within range. Yoo Jae-hak opened his eyes wide. “Whoops!” In succession, he tried to slit Jin-Seong’s neck with all his might. but Tuck. Jin-Seong, who is just around the corner of Yoo Jae-hak, was pressing the end of the knife so that he could not pull a knife out of the sheath. “How?!” “Yoo Jae-hak.” Yoo Jae-hak was surprised when Jin-Seong suddenly called his name. “What, what?” “I’m not here to fight.” “Hey, you son of a bitch, how can……!” Yoo Jae-hak tried to pull the knife out once again, but he couldn’t pull it out because of Jin-Seong’s power. It was then. Kaaaaakangggr…! A yellow Mustang approached the guard post with a loud engine sound. He stood next to Yoo Jae-hak, who was unable to move. The loud appearance drew attention from Jin-Seong and Jae-hak to a Mustang. Whoosh……. Then a dark tinted driver’s window went down, revealing the driver. It was a young woman with a ponytail and sunglasses. “Professor!” Yoo Jae-hak was greatly pleased, and Jin-Seong was surprised. ‘This person is……?’
