Chapter 078 Beyond the gate

The hall was cleaned up to some extent and the personnel in the underground shelter came up.

At the forefront was Kang Hyuk.

“Seojun hyung!”

When Kanghyuk saw me, he ran towards me with a happy expression.

“A long time.”

Kanghyuk’s hair was tousled and welcomed.

“Isn’t it summer vacation?”

“yes. So I made a surprise visit to see your face after a long time… … .”

Hyuk stopped talking and looked around the ruins.

“… … I had no idea this would happen.”

“Still, I heard that the evacuation was easy thanks to you. Were there any more achievements after B-class?”

At my question, Hyuk smiled awkwardly and said,

“I can’t seem to find a clue. It feels good though. As promised, I think I can raise it to A-level before graduation.”

While I was reuniting with Hyuk, the party approached me.

When Hyuk and the others met again, they greeted each other warmly.

In the meantime, Lee Hui-hyung came up to me and said.

“Seojun, are you okay?”

“I’m OK. What about your brother?”

“I’m fine too. I live thanks to you.”

Lee Hwi-hyung exhaled as if he had relieved himself, and then spoke with a serious expression.

“What now? Will the demons keep coming?”

I just had to worry about that.

This was already the second time.

Seeing the sounds of various sirens in the distance, it seemed that uninvited guests would soon flock.

I said looking at the wide open gate.

“Hyung, how was the dungeon you went to this time?”

First of all, information was needed.

That’s why I created the ‘Other World Exploration Corps’.

“As you said, it was impossible to search using drones. It happened to be an open field, so I started exploring it myself.”

Lee Hui-hyung briefly told us what had happened inside the gate.

“We couldn’t find the ruins where we entered, but we got something like this instead.”

At the same time, the item his brother gave him was a sword with a broken blade in the middle.

[Class B] [Broken Sword]

It was an ordinary sword with no additional explanation, but the meaning it pointed to was significant.

“I think there was a battle. There were a lot of these broken weapons around.”

Even before regression, research on gates was active.

For a total of 15 years before the return, the only thing I had figured out was the imagination that I might be able to go over to the world beyond the gate.

It was great that no one risked their lives recklessly.

It was too much to keep the peace apart from the adventurous.

But now it’s different.

The information brought by Lee Hwi-hyung, who obtained the atomic dynasty bracelet, was not the end of the broken sword.

“And I found another gate in that area.”

At the same time, Lee Hui-hyung showed me the video he took with his phone.

It was a video that was taken until I went into the gate and came out again.

The video showed the whole process.

Another gate appeared in front of Lee Hwi-hyung, who went deep with the crew.

The monsters inside the gate were normal.

And then, demons appeared in the video.

Surprised, I looked at Lee Hwi-hyung, and he explained further.

“Thanks to these guys, I knew that the Avengers were in danger and ran right away.”

“It was really dangerous.”

This made it clear.

The demons are afraid of the Avengers.

They seem to see it as the biggest stumbling block to their plans.

And the clue Lee Hui-hyung found was that the gates that seemed separate were actually numerous doors that could lead to other worlds.

I asked Gilliant what I was curious about.

“Can you find the base of demons in the world beyond the gate?”

“If you’re talking about the Pandemonium, it would be faster to find it in Fantasia than in your world.”

“devildom? Is this where the demons are?”

Lee Hwi-hyung overheard our conversation and asked in surprise.

I said with a nod in the affirmative.

“If you leave it alone, these guys will keep attacking you. It might be better to move on and settle the matter.”

“Are you going alone?”

I wanted to go alone, but I couldn’t.

I looked around at the people around me and said.

“If I went alone, I would be overdoing it. But if we don’t go together, we might rather hold each other’s ankles. I think we need to build a team.”

As for the team, I have been thinking about it to some extent.

“Hyuk-ah, do you want to replace your summer vacation and second semester with a field trip?”

“Me? really? Can I go?”

Hyuk raised his voice excitedly to see if my suggestion was good.

“Excellent! I will go even if it doesn’t work!”

And I saw Minyoung.

“Can you go with me?”

“huh! You need my divine power, right?”

As the last member, I looked at Suyeon.

“It’s the right choice. If you had tried to leave me while taking Minyoung away, I would have sprained your ankle.”

Sensing my gaze, Soo-yeon said something terrifying.

Like this, the three were members even before the regression.

The place we were going to was not the next town or another country, but a completely different world.

I wanted to take him to the most reliable person, the person who could match the best sum.

It was enough if they were a team even before the regression.

Besides, there were people in that world who were connected by cards.

I’m sure you could get their help too.

“okay. The four of us will go like this. The rest of you, please take care of yourself.”

“Wait, me? Is it my hometown?”

When I said this with a satisfied expression, Gilliant interrupted.

It would be convenient to take Gilliant, but then the Avengers were too dangerous.

They also needed someone to protect the Avengers from the demons.

“Gilliant stays here and protects the Avengers family. Aren’t Boone and you enough? And the polymorph can change into my image too?”

“You, no way.”

Gillian frowned as if he had noticed my thoughts.

“Yeah, please pretend to be me for a while. I think it will be safe if I keep the fact that I passed on to the other world a secret.”

The demons should not know that I passed.

I looked back at Heejin Kim.

“TFE properly supports Gilliant on this issue.”

“Leave it to me! I am confident!”

Kim Hee-jin clenched her fists and shouted with a confident voice.

“Are you going right away?”

In response to Lee Hwi-hyung’s question, I looked at the crowd of people from afar and said,

“I’m going to fix that. Hyuk has problems at school.”

I picked up and hid the soul stone Brian dropped by the gate and approached the uninvited guests running.

“Yoo Seo-jun! Are you okay?”

“A lot of people have come.”

The person who ran at the forefront was the 119th.

“I have heard the report. Because there was a big fight. Is anyone hurt?”

“a lot. Please look at the wounded first.”

“All right.”

Rescuers immediately spread out to take care of the wounded here and there.

Behind them were the police.

“hahahaha, procedure. I have no choice.”

The inspector smiled shyly and took up his notebook and pen.

I gave him Lee Hui hyung.

“I also joined late, so the details will be told by the deputy guild leader Lee Hui.”

“what? When did I quit?”

“Just now.”

I smiled at Lee Hwi-hyung and looked at the reporters rushing behind him.

“now! Reporters, come here! Do you have a lot of questions?”

“Yu, Yoo Seo-jun! Didn’t you go to America? When did you come back?”

Sure enough, the reporters who saw me rushed in and poured out questions.

I smiled at them and said.

“I came back immediately after hearing the news of the accident. As you can see, it worked out fine. This time, it was also an attack by a being from another world.”

“Are there any dead?”

“doesn’t exist. Next minute?”

While I was dealing with the reporters, Heejin Kim and the members of the TFE fan club stood next to me and started supporting me.

“now! It’s dangerous, so keep order! We’ll let everyone ask questions, so please take your turn! there! MGN Reporter Park! Don’t push!”

Did you memorize the list of field reporters?

The reporters were surprised by Kim Hee-jin’s point.

“Do you know me?”

When reporter Park, who was pointed out, asked in surprise, Kim Hee-jin said with a confident expression.

“I thought it was my job as the head of the fan club. I know everyone’s faces, names, and affiliations, so don’t do anything nonsense!”

Kim Hee-jin was more trustworthy than I thought.

I told reporters with a hearty smile.

“Okay then. let’s start over ask questions.”

as loud as possible.

For a while, people will talk about what happened to our guild.

Taking advantage of the confusion, we quietly leave for the gate.

that was my plan

The interview continued for an hour after that.

*

“A field trip? It’s not possible!”

Kang Hyuk’s homeroom teacher jumped up at my words and said,

“He is still a student! The scene is overwhelming.”

“Isn’t that why I say I’m with you?”

“Of course, there are field trips with the participation of guardians, but the entire second semester is too long.”

Because you never know how long you’ll be over the gate, you need a safety device.

Seeing the teacher say no, I came up with another number.

“So, what about early employment? Do you know if it is possible to get a job? Anyway, when Hyuk graduates, it is certain that he will join the Avengers.”

Even like this?

let me raise my eyebrows

The homeroom teacher made a puzzled expression, then let out a deep sigh.

“You think you’re ready for that.”

“If I wasn’t ready, I wouldn’t have been called to the scene. Now I need Hyuk.”

It was sincere.

Kang Hyuk’s ability is ‘danger detection’.

Kang Hyuk, who went from Class C to Class B, was an essential presence in this operation.

His abilities would be of great help in surviving in an unfamiliar world.

“If you come out like this, I can’t help it. Hyuk, please take good care of me. If Hyuk has a problem, I… … ha. Well, living as an awakened hunter is a way to risk your life every day.”

The teacher’s way of speaking conveyed his sincere love for Hyuk.

I held the teacher’s hand.

“Don’t worry. I will protect Hyuk.”

“I only believe in Elementalist.”

After solving Hyuk’s school problems and returning to the headquarters, the members going on a trip were excited.

“It’s so cool to travel to a fantasy world! I feel like I’ve become the main character in a novel!”

The most exciting among them was Hyuk.

“We are not going to play. You could die.”

“Does sister really have to hit the candle like that? Can’t we have fun?”

“I’m not saying this because I’m worried about you! When I read novels, people like you always die first!”

In response to Soo-yeon’s remark, Hyuk opened his eyes wide and said with a disappointed expression.

“How can you say such harsh words… … .”

Between the two, Minyoung stroked Hyuk’s hair and reassured him.

“are you okay. Suyeon is worried about you. Seojun is there and we will all come back safely. right?”

Minyoung said that and glanced at me.

It seemed that if any more negative words were spoken, someone would hold a portrait.

“okay. I have this brother, what are you worried about? And what are his characteristics? We will come alive because of Hyuk.”

“I am more worried about myself.”

Lee Hwi-hyung sighed and said.

“Please take care of me. That’s why they leave Gillian behind as well.”

I patted Lee Hwi-hyung’s shoulder with a worried expression.

For the time being, the avengers have been put under the command of Lee Hwi-hyung, who is a bugilma.

“Gilliant, this.”

Before going to the gate, I passed a soul stone to Giliant.

I had the Soul Stone I got from Cass.

“Because I think it would be better if I split it rather than having both.”

As long as they knew that the demons’ goal was the soul stone, they thought it was safe to share it with each other so that neither would be taken away.

“I get it. In the meantime, I will do some more research.”

Gilliant put the Soul Stone in his bosom and told him not to worry.

“good. let’s go. Close the gate when we leave.”

Since the soul stone he gave to Gillian opened this gate, it was possible to close it.

It was something I found out after researching for the last few days preparing to move on.

It has also been proven that after being closed, it can be used again only when the soul is recharged.

The reason I took a soul stone was to open the gate to return to our world.

“I’ll be back!”

The guild members who came out to see him off waved at Hyuk’s bright greeting.

Leaving them behind, we stepped into the gate.
