Chapter 79: A Coincidence For The Transfer Student (9)
* * *The first thought every student had on hearing Yeomyeong’s words could be summed up in a single line.What nonsense is he talking about all of a sudden?It was already baffling enough that he had slapped the Saintess’ cheek out of nowhere, and now he would be picking people to join the fight?Some tilted their heads in confusion, some frowned, and a few, though rare, began to gather mana.Regardless of their reactions, Yeomyeong paid them no heed and continued speaking.“Enemies will soon make their way to the shelter. We don’t know the level of the enemy, but sure enough, they aren’t something the average student can handle.”Enemies were coming? Most students snorted in disbelief.However, a few observant individuals swallowed nervously as they watched their teacher, Miss Gemini, head towards the shelter’s storage to retrieve weapons.“The situation is not good. We have limited weapons, and we don’t have time to coordinate. So…”Yeomyeong’s golden eyes scanned the students.“Anyone who lacks the skill or isn’t ready to put their life at risk need not step forward. Only those with enough skill and resolve to fight alongside me, please come forward.”The abrupt declaration left the students speechless, but no further explanation was given.Yeomyeong crossed his arms and shut his mouth as if to say, ‘It’s up to you to decide.’- Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?- Is this a hidden camera prank?- What enemies? Does he think that the academy’s security is a joke?From soft murmurs to blatant hostility, the once relaxed atmosphere became quite serious.- Hey, but just in case…?- Just in case of what? How does he even know that enemies are coming?Time went by, but no one stepping forward.- Hey, wait, that thing Miss Gemini is bringing over… aren’t those the weapons used for club activities?Miss Gemini, who had gone into the shelter’s storage, came out dragging a sack full of practice weapons.The students frowned as they watched her walk towards Yeomyeong.If the teacher was acting like that, too, it must mean that his words did carry some weight…Just as the tension began to gradually fill the space between the students.Step.Seti stepped forward.She didn’t approach directly Yeomyeong, but went to help Miss Gemini with the sack of weapons.Unlike the teacher, who was struggling to drag the sack, Seti lifted it effortlessly, all while carrying the Saintess on her back.And as soon as she arrived in front of Yeomyeong, Seti dumped the sack of weapons onto the ground.With a rustling sound, the weapons spilled out… their condition was clearly not that good.Swords, sabers, spears, shields… after sorting through the ones that were somewhat intact, only about ten weapons remained.“As expected, there’s no war hammer. The sad fate of unpopular weapons, huft.”Seti grumbled as she chose two swords from the sack. She didn’t intend to dual wield; handing one directly to Yeomyeong.As he accepted the sword, Seti gave him a wink that no one else noticed.Yeomyeong swallowed a bitter chuckle as he examined the condition of the sword. Although it wasn’t sharp, its durability was no worse than the iron swords used by the Manchurian mercenaries.After giving the sword a few light swings, he spoke to the students.“No one else?”This time, Soe Miri quickly walked up to his side. Although she looked tense, she didn’t pick any weapon in particular.And knowing that Soe Miri used a peculiar, invisible type of magic, Yeomyeong didn’t insist either.Instead, it was Miss Gemini who picked up a weapon.Grabbing a slender spear, she took off her glasses and shoes, and ripped the side of her skirt.Anyone could tell that she was getting ready for battle.By now, even the most oblivious student should have realized this wasn’t a joke.“Is there anyone else willing to fight alongside us?”Yeomyeong asked the students once again, but still, no one stepped forward.Seeing this, Soe Miri subtly furrowed her brows. She hadn’t expected that there was still no one to step up even after all this.However, Yeomyeong wasn’t particularly disappointed. Honestly speaking, he wasn’t expecting the students’ help from the start.If you have no expectations, there will be no disappointment.After giving the students a brief glance, he checked the auxiliary bag hidden inside his school uniform blazer.The Handle of Uragan and the Golden Seal were inside the bag, which was just large enough to hold a few grenades.If worse comes to worst, I’ll open the shelter door and escape.He didn’t need to reveal the Golden Seal since he didn’t intend to use it right away.Just as he had informed Miss Gemini earlier, it was enough as long as he could protect himself. He had no intention of putting his life on the line for the other students.Of course, it would be ideal to hold off the enemies here…“…Alright. Those who won’t be participating in the fight, please move away from the walls and head to the far corners of the shelter.”Although Yeomyeong had spoken politely, not one person budged. However, instead of taking a step back, the students began bombarding him with questions.“Is this for real? Not some hidden camera prank?”“How do you know enemies are coming!?”“Why do we have to fight? What are the academy staff doing?”“T-they’ll protect us, right?”“Miss! Please say something!”Their shouts, infused with mana, echoed throughout the shelter, but Yeomyeong still maintained a calm expression as he faced them.And just as the chaos seemed to be escalating, he infused his foot with mana and used Quake Stomp to stomp the floor hard.Boom!Dust rained down from the shelter’s ceiling, and all the questions stopped abruptly. Yeomyeong tilted his head slightly and spoke.“If you don’t want to believe it, don’t. If you want to live, figure it out yourself. We’ll handle things our way.”His manner of speaking was devoid of any sympathy. Some students turned red with anger, but others showed completely different reactions.For example, people like Wesley.“Haha! Yeah, that’s right! If you’re not going to fight, then shut up! I don’t know what this is all about, but I’m in!”Wesley, with his buzz-cut head gleaming, stepped forward, accompanied by a few more students.Superhumans, Mages, priests-in-training…There were about twenty of them. They were valiant for students, but Seti intervened and sent most of them back.“Those who can use healing magic are better off supporting from the rear rather than being on the front lines. Mages… Do any of you have reagents or a staff? No, right? Then you’ll be able to use only a few support spells at best, so it’s better to provide cover fire from the rear rather than being in the front.”Her strict criteria were even applied to the Superhumans.Some didn’t have the right weapons, and some lacked the skill…Although some students protested, Yeomyeong sent them back personally since being on the front lines meant death if they weren’t skilled enough.After filtering them out, one by one… aside from Wesley, only one other person remained.Jeon Yunseong. The top-ranked student in both the Superhuman martial arts department and admission rankings.He kept glancing at Soe Miri as he chose a shield and a sword from the sack of weapons.It was plain to see for everyone that Jeon Yunseong was interested in Soe Miri.…Will he be able to fight properly?Considering his reputation, he could be somewhat assured about his skills… but Yeomyeong clicked his tongue internally as he gave the rest of the party a once over.Fortunately, Soe Miri, who was busy with her own preparations, seemed unaware of Jeon Yunseong’s gaze. On the other hand, Seti made a face as if she was looking at something disgusting before turning away from Jeon Yunseong.On the contrary, Wesley didn’t seem to be bothered, as if the rest of the male students were already aware of Jeon Yunseong’s feelings for Soe Miri.…I shouldn’t expect too much from him.In any case, Yeomyeong and the party took their battle stances as they formed a circle around the shelter’s walls.And just as their hands gripping the weapons started to sweat…Rumble, rumble, rumble…!The sound of something massive approaching them could be heard from beyond the shelter’s walls.
* * *Ugh.
Margan stretched his back. Perhaps it was because he had been up all night, writing reports, even his thick, dwarven bones were creaking in protest.“…It’s been ages since I’ve pulled an all-nighter.”His usual wake-up and tea time had long passed.All because he had to pull an all-nighter to write a report right after a business trip. He shook his head as he got out of his seat.He quickly washed his face at the sink and took a shot of coffee, which he couldn’t even remember when it had been brewed.After doing his best to rid himself of sleepiness, he sat back down to continue with the report.It has been confirmed that Cheon Yeomyeong possesses the Arcane Relic related to the ‘Comet Sword.’
The relationship between the Holy Sword and Cheon Yeomyeong surpasses the Australian government’s expectations…
The report wasn’t really coming together. Perhaps due to accumulated fatigue, his eyes were feeling heavy.
Margan massaged his temples, searching for the best remedy for his fatigue: thinking of someone who had it worse than he did.The first person who came to mind was Admissions Director Medga, who had forced him to fly to Manchuria.All Margan had to do was finish and submit his report. However, the Admissions Director would have to deal with the media and even the Prime Minister’s Office in Sydney to handle the fallout due to the transfer.He had even been called to an emergency meeting just yesterday.…Those goddamn political professors.Although he couldn’t attend it due to the report, the purpose of this emergency meeting was obvious to anyone. It was Director Nikolay’s plot to target the Admissions Director…WHEEEEEENGGGGG!Just then, an alarm blared throughout the island.It was a Level 3 warning, alerting all faculty and staff on the island, but Margan rose from his seat without any trace of worry.Again?There had been more than a few false alarms this year alone.There were no such problems in the previous years… but this year seems particularly problematic.Wondering if he should file a complaint with the Watchtower, Margan opened the window.And then, the next moment…He furrowed his brows as he felt the mana blowing in from outside the window.“The detection magic… has been dispelled?”In the same manner how Superhumans used their senses, the detection magic spread mana across the island was used to monitor enemies.The mana carried by the wind was definitely the residue of that spell.Only then did Margan realize that something had seriously gone wrong and took out his phone.Beep- Beep- Beep—However, there was no service. With no Wi-Fi or satellite connection, it was clear someone had intentionally destroyed the communication network.“Damn it…”This wasn’t just a simple mishap; it was an actual crisis. And wasn’t today the day all the students gathered in one classroom?Was it just a coincidence that they targeted this day?His judgment was quick, and his actions were even quicker. Margan immediately stepped outside the faculty dormitory.He first headed toward the main academic building. Or rather, he tried to head there.However, the moment he saw an enormous number of somethings writhing along the island’s coastline beyond the faculty dormitory, he stopped in his tracks and squinted.“…Holy shit.”Seeing the writhing figures, Margan cursed. The things filling the coastline were… zombies.And they were not just any zombies, but special ones coated in mana, resistant to decay caused by seawater.Margan found himself staring dumbfoundedly in the direction the zombies were heading. However, when he saw the building at the end of the long line of zombies, he gritted his teeth.It was the building where all the first-year students had gathered.That place was already surrounded by zombies on all sides.This chapter upload first at NovelBin.Com
