I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 24

Problem of commercial morality (3)

The rule that must be followed for a smooth work life is not to show off. That way, the amount of work that falls on me will decrease.

But I failed.

It is force majeure. It can’t be helped, right? In the first place, the setting of a time traveler was unreasonable. Just by looking at it, doesn’t it sound like he’s going to end up suffering a bad life?

“You know, teacher.”

“why?”

“Sir, your main weapon is a sword, right?”

Lee Seung-yeon and Sun Sun-jin, each carrying a wooden sword at their side, approached me.

I closed the notebook where I had been drawing runes. This is what Lee Mi-seon asked me to do.

‘Please tell me all the runes to be revealed. What did Hong Hunter do without even working on these?’

That’s right… .

I also reflected. They just asked for it to be made public on their own and then completely ignored it. So, I guess Hong Seok-young suddenly made things complicated by saying something about my achievements.

“knife? No, I… .”

Basically, I can handle most weapons to some extent, but my main weapon is the spear.

I tried to answer like that without thinking, but barely managed to stop myself.

Ever since I awakened at a young age, I have learned all the fighting techniques from my uncle. That’s why my main weapon became a spear. It may be noticeable if you are not familiar with a sword, but if you use a spear, it will be noticeable right away. If the Ark’s insider moves in the same way as Hong Seok-young, that is no excuse.

“why?”

“Hookshi, can you teach me?”

I raised my eyebrows.

“To me over the strongest hunter in Korea?”

“But we use swords.”

Hong Seok-young uses a spear, but that doesn’t mean he can’t use a sword. Even with just a sword, he can defeat most A-level hunters with his eyes closed. That was Hong Seok-young.

“The teacher said that I might have to be away from school often in the future and told me to learn from Teacher Woo as well.”

“… To me?”

No, well… It’s not that I don’t understand.

A hunter of Hong Seok-young’s caliber cannot be tied down to teach children.

The man is now in his mid-forties. If he were a civilian, his body would have broken down one by one in one way or another, but as a hunter, he is in his prime. Here, he shouldn’t be teaching Anna, but rather going through dungeons.

I told Seung-yeon Lee and Soon-jin Sun to wait a moment and then asked Seok-young Hong.

“Oh, I was going to tell you already. “Now that the number of teaching staff has increased, the principal doesn’t need to be at the school, right?”

“The principal must reside at the school.”

“There’s nothing we can do because our school is not a normal school.”

Hong Seok-young spoke calmly.

“Mr. Kim will take care of our young monks… . As for runes, I’m just drawing the runes you tell me, right?”

If you say it like that, it makes it sound like I’m just earning a salary without doing any work. I haven’t even received my first paycheck yet.

“Until the runes are revealed, it will be difficult to attract more outsiders… .”

“There are a lot of hunters in Daseon, right? “Please ask Mi-seon Lee to bring her.”

“He’s so picky that he won’t give me someone of his own.”

Hong Seok-young shook his head.

“And Amman is still an outsider. In that case, it would be better to leave it to you.”

“… “What do I believe in?”

“I know when I see your eyes.”

“… … .”

“They say the eyes are the window to the soul. “Is that exactly right?”

How on earth did this person rise to the top without dying? .

“I’m not letting the kids use their magic anyway, so just watch their movements. All you have to do is just fight. “If you get beaten up like in real life, you will realize something.”

This is a class where only the strong survive… . I barely survived either.

“What about the other children? Do they watch it too?”

“Since I told you, I’m probably going to sneak up and aim for your neck.”

“My neck?”

“I said I would give you a gift if I hit your head.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

weird. Why do I have to survive even if I become a teacher?

What can I do? I have already signed the slave contract.

“Then what about that child? “Healer.”

“Hye-eun? “I did ask Mr. Kim.”

Wizards and healers have some similarities. If you have just awakened, learning from Chaemin Kim will be of great help.

“All right… . By the way, are you leaving right away?”

I pointed to the bag Hong Seok-young was packing. It looks like I don’t have anything to pack, but I keep stuffing things in.

“hmm. Teacher Kim will be the one to pick up the kids. “You get a ride too.”

“… If you don’t want to sleep here, you should. Are you going to raid the dungeon?”

“Well, if it’s a strategy, it’s a strategy… .”

Hong Seok-young said as he closed his bag.

“I wanted to go into the Songpa-gu dungeon and then come out.”

“… yes?”

“Let’s check to see if there’s anything suspicious… .”

“What about me?”

“you?”

“yes.”

“I don’t know what the ark has done, but it’s dangerous.”

“… … .”

Seokyoung Hong waved his hand and tapped my shoulder.

“I’ll come back soon to check, so take care of the kids.”

* * *

“You just have to remember one thing.”

While the wizards were taking Kim Chae-min’s magic management class.

I took the remaining children out to the vacant lot. No, it would be difficult to call it an empty lot anymore. This is because Lee Mi-seon has brought a lot of things to us over the past few days. There are parasols, sunbeds, and a beverage bar. When Lee Mi-seon comes to school, one of the hunters who follows her takes over the drink bar. It’s empty now… .

Honestly, if you look at this alone, it is not an empty lot, much less a school playground. It’s because the surrounding scenery is like this. It’s almost like… Isn’t it a resort?

“The one who survives is the strongest.”

“Teacher, it doesn’t seem like you are serious when you say something like that.”

The children burst into laughter. It was pitiful to see him smiling so calmly. Now that there is no management office, conquering dungeons must be even more hellish.

“Has anyone ever been in a dungeon?”

I asked, ignoring the children’s laughter. When I didn’t respond, the laughter died down.

I asked once more.

“Has anyone ever been in a dungeon?”

“… … .”

“… I.”

At that time, there was a child who raised his hand.

It wasn’t the kid who was in Myeongdong. He was a child who would occasionally bow his head and say hello when our eyes met. The name.

“Seo Han-seong?”

“yes.”

His sitting height is one head taller than the other children. Although he is tall, he is slim, perhaps because he is still in the growth phase. Since you are tall, you will be able to produce more power if you just increase your weight. Normally, a hunter who fights in close combat would eat up to half his body size.

Unlike when he first hesitantly opened his mouth, Seo Han-seong spoke firmly in a low voice.

“I went into the dungeon.”

“okay? how was it?”

“… … .”

Seo Han-seong lowered his head. The other children quietly fell silent.

“Those who survive are not strong.”

Seo Hanseong also has no record in the horsepower clock. In fact, it should be said that there are none other than Oh Hyun-wook and Park Seo-hyun. Seung-yeon Lee had no choice but to know because Lee Mi-sun kept mentioning her name.

Hunters who were active before the management office was created have no choice. It is highly likely that Seo Han-seong or Sun Sun-jin died or retired before then. I don’t know about the other kids, but Sun Sun-jin must have been taken to the guild by Lee Mi-seon, but there is no record of it… .

“Only the strong survive.”

… Actually, I was just saying it casually to scare the kids.

Seo Han-seong’s eyes sparkled strangely. Her eyes are dark in a different way from Park Seo-hyun, who is obsessed with perfect runes.

Do you have any bad memories from the dungeon? If I entered the dungeon at that age… .

ah.

I guess that’s the case.

Young awakeners who were used as meat shields. The decisive reason why Hong Seok-young decided to establish her pilot school.

I think it was the kid who was rescued there.

Hong Seok-young, if you were planning on leaving these kids in my care, tell me in advance.

Well, Park Seo-hyun also dismissed it as a change in style, so you shouldn’t expect such delicacy.

I nodded at Seo Han-seong’s words.

“Then how can I become stronger?”

“I need to build up my skills.”

“skill? “What kind of skills?”

Seo Han-seong could not answer. Maybe it’s because I haven’t properly conquered the dungeon, but all I can think of is a standard answer.

I realized that that wasn’t the answer I wanted.

I made eye contact with each child. Five children are sitting, without a wizard or healer.

According to Hong Seok-young and Lee Seung-yeon, there were originally about three or four more people. However, when children who went to Myeongdong for training became isolated, worried parents took them away. This can be happen. I would have done the same if I had children.

“Seo Han-seong. “What was it like when you entered the dungeon?”

“Dungeon?”

“okay. how was it?”

Seo Han-seong swallowed his saliva.

“It’s different there. just… different.”

“okay. “There is also a theory that it might be in another dimension.”

Twenty years later, the existence of the dungeon remains unknown.

Humanity simply adapted. Monsters that pop out of dungeons and dungeons that occur randomly.

“There are no humans in the dungeon. So, for a human to survive, he must give up being human.”

Seo Han-seong listened to me with a very focused face.

If I had told Hong Seok-young that I would give up my life as a hunter when I was rescued, Hong Seok-young would have listened. Because she said being an Awakened doesn’t mean everyone becomes a Hunter.

But Seo Han-seong is at a pilot high school. It means that you have given up living as a civilian.

The same goes for the rest.

There was a moment when I had a choice too.

On the day I awakened, my uncle gave me a choice.

‘Heejae.’

‘why.’

‘Just because you’re awakened, you don’t necessarily have to become a hunter. You have to register as an awakened person, but you can just do that and live doing what you want.’

‘Is this what you want to do?’

‘This guy will let you do whatever you want.’

‘Then I don’t want to be a hunter.’

I was a child with a firm view of my career path. The reason I later got a hunter license was because it gave me extra points when entering the management office.

Unlike me, these kids want to become hunters.

I don’t know how far the man went with these children in the past, in the original time. Aside from the fact that there are no records left, it must be said that the man’s plan failed when the Myeong-dong incident occurred. It’s not because of the uncle’s lack of effort, but purely because of external factors.

But it’s different now.

Currently, there is no one in Korea who knows more about dungeon raiding than me.

These guys should be grateful to me.

Just like the wizards who are groaning and taking class over there, I will raise these children to become perfect hunters.

Hong Seok-young would have also given permission… . Where should I start my education?

hmm.

Since it’s been a while, I’ll try imitating Yoo Ji-eun. Yoo Ji-eun would definitely have said this.

“Don’t attach too much value to the fact that you are human.”

Yoo Ji-eun recalled the memory of when she gave a special lecture at the academy. When Yoo Ji-eun said she was quite convincing.

“Because it’s outside the dungeon, all the hunters are pretending to be human… . “Inside the dungeon?”

I saw Seo Han-seong.

“Hunters must move only by instinct in the dungeon.”

When Hong Seok-young came out of the training center, he took Yoo Ji-eun’s sword back from me. And before he entered the Bangi-dong dungeon, he gave him a wooden sword of the same length and weight as the sword. To be honest, I don’t think it can be called a wooden sword since it weighs the same as a real sword.

I grabbed the wooden sword and kicked the ground with my toe.

Looking closely, there are other kids who entered the dungeon besides Seo Han-seong. Oh Hyun-wook must have also entered. But he didn’t pretend to know for nothing. People may have a past they want to hide.

“Your principal has always placed emphasis on practical skills, right?”

“yes… .”

When I waved my hand, the children hesitated and stood up.

“The method is similar.”

I grinned.

“But I’m not as kind as the principal.”

Are you saying that if you get beaten up like in real life, you will learn something? He said he put a prize on my head, right?

“I will awaken your instincts. “I won’t kill you, so try to survive.”

When you aim at someone else’s head, you have to be prepared to get your own head ripped off as well.

No, whatever.

It’s not that I can’t go into the Bangi-dong dungeon to vent my anger.

Because I’m not such a narrow-minded adult.

Because it’s not.
