Academy Dropout Is Too Strong

34. Singularity (1)

click-click-

The train crossed the wide lake.

After crossing the dry desert, I ran through the green meadow. Volcanoes, snowfields, and the devil’s castle in the cemetery all passed by, and they arrived at a new land before they knew it.

good luck,

Finally, at the foot of a mountain, the train stopped.

Master and I, who did not bring our own luggage, immediately got up, tidied up our clothes, and got out of the vehicle.

Then a minister appeared before his eyes.

‘This is the Zen Mountain of Seondo (仙山).’

A lofty mountain peak whose peak is above the clouds and can’t be seen properly.

Up to the halfway point, the forest was full, but above that, the mountains were pure white, as if covered with frost.

It didn’t snow, but the mountain made of white rocks was all beautifully carved.

Indeed, is it Taesan?

Because of its great prestige, it was called Taesan of Seondo, and it was called Baeksan because it was white from the middle.

Also, due to the residents who live there, there was a nickname called Heavenly Mountain – ‘Olympos’.

A really far-out height that extends all the way to the sky. An endless, endless stairway to heaven.

After getting off the train, we immediately had to climb those many steps.

I trudge, for some reason my steps are heavy.

“Come on, let’s do our best since we’re going up soon.”

Master seemed to have noticed that, and encouraged me from time to time, but I couldn’t stop cursing the mountain’s facilities.

How can you be so unkind?

‘At least there must be a cable car, go up this at any time of the year.’

– I thought, but I couldn’t bear to say it out of my mouth, so I moved my steps faithfully.

I was called out on a holiday under the pretext of giving a reward, and then I went mountain climbing.

In a previous life, the head of the mercenary guild recalled the memory of climbing Mt. Baekdu with dozens of mercenaries while promoting friendship.

Back then, I was even babbling behind my back, but I couldn’t do that now.

Because there is no one to listen to complaints, and I dare not curse at Master.

was just following.

‘Well, I think I know roughly what kind of business it is.’

I had absolute faith that Master would take good care of me.

Maybe it’s just because I climbed the stairs of endurance too silently.

“Hey, don’t you wonder where we’re going now?”

Lee Chung suddenly glanced sideways at me who was following me and smiled.

He always has a nice-looking face, but his bright blue eyes are fierce.

“Is it because I’m a good junior? I’m glad you followed along without asking or questioning at all.”

Uh, I already know where it is, so I forgot to ask in the middle, but my spine went cold for a moment.

‘Is this a place that freshmen don’t know about yet?’

I hope you’re thinking of me now.

“… … hahahaha, I heard it’s a secret.”

Feeling uneasy for no reason, I casually passed it over.

However, the master just smiled and said, “Hmm.” He just continued to climb the stairs.

… … what.

With such a carefree mind, vaguely following her as she climbed up quickly, the stairway to heaven was nowhere to be found before we knew it, and we arrived at the top.

A village on top of a mountain.

I have reached the sacred ground of the angels—the White Wings.

The garden of angels with white wings.

late 19th century to early 20th century.

The home base of the Baekik tribe, which was provided to the island by Radio during the time when Imaemangryang was infested.

Since there were cumulus clouds right at eye level, it seemed to be about Olympus, if not heavenly.

A space with an atmosphere where something fantastic could live.

The laughing angel was real in front of his eyes, so that wasn’t a particularly wrong idea.

Even if he was originally businesslike, courteous, and had the opposite feeling of the characteristics of white wings, he was still an angel.

“Bangabangga, long time no see.”

Second-seat Lucia came out to meet us with her mouth wide open as she wondered what was so good about it.

Ten years ago, he waved his hand happily, spitting out words that might have been scribbled on the old Internet.

Well, now that the midterm exam is over and everyone is taking a break, it was only natural that he was here.

“Hmmm, I’m here as a guide, so follow me.”

“Oh, I see… … ?”

Just as I was about to follow Lucia, whose lungs were full of air, I realized something unexpected.

“Oh, I have something to see.”

Teacher Li Qing said while scratching his head with an embarrassed expression.

Contrary to me, who had already been there and thought about what kind of guide she was, but was thinking of following along, Master suddenly fell back.

‘No, why?’

I feel like I’ve been abandoned all of a sudden.

“Well, I have things to take care of the vice-president’s duties. I’ll finish it soon, so I’m choosing.”

“yes? Are you choosing?”

“Because the other day I did what the White Wings asked for. You take it instead of me.”

“No, so what?”

“What? Isn’t that natural?”

The master opened his shoulders, which had shrunk for a moment, and spoke confidently.

“It’s a prize given by seniors to juniors.”

Well, there are various interests such as damage compensation and student council rewards.

The master, who had muttered so quietly, raised the corners of his mouth and added,

“Anyway, we’ll check what you picked later, so choose wisely. Lucia, please guide me well.”

“Yes, come on, let’s go quickly. I’ll be sure to guide you.”

“… … Yes, see you later.”

I knew where this place was, but I didn’t know the exact geography, so I just gave a vague answer.

“Yes, go.”

Master said with a kind face.

***

“They are gone.”

After watching the backs of the angel and the man gradually moving away from each other, Lee Chung immediately turned away.

With a familiar look, she started to walk through the complex White Wings’ nest.

The occasional angels greeted her by bowing their heads, and she responded with a calm smile.

Lee Chung was clearly a human, but he had the status and authority of an elder in the White Wing village.

In a way, it was like a kind of successor.

Without any restraint, she penetrated all the secret areas that were located in the innermost part of the nest of angels and went deeper.

The entrance to a rock cave guarded by two angels who have reached the level of Hwagyeong.

No matter how high the average combat power of the White Wings was, combat personnel like this were rare.

Undaunted by Lee Chung’s appearance, the angels saw through the visitor’s true identity with a nonchalant gaze.

“Yi Chung is right, the communication has already been delivered. He is waiting. Go in.”

Indeed, is it him?

Lee Cheong nodded with a smile on his face and entered the cave.

The cave he entered was deep.

The top of the highest mountain in Seondo, and the inside of the deepest cave there.

It was a training place coveted by warriors and wizards alike, as it was filled with aura all over the place.

“Do all mu-in-law like places like this?”

A perfect place for a freshman who is madly in love with martial arts to live in the midst of the world where there is no one more capable of competing.

“I’m not, but I’m sure you are.”

Soon after arriving at the vast hollow, Li Qing chanted with an expressionless face and addressed the man in the middle of the hollow.

“Wireless, I’m here to trade.”

At that moment, the best man of all ages opened his eyes.

***

At the end of a rough tour of the village of the White Wings, the place they arrived at was a shabby warehouse in the corner.

At first glance, I had no idea what the heck was good.

But the angel seemed to have a different idea.

Lucia smiled and waved her index finger around in an appropriate manner.

“hahahaha, it’s okay to look forward to it?”

Usually, if you lay the groundwork like this, you will surely be disappointed, but I did not give up hope until the end because I guaranteed the existence of my teacher.

I don’t know what it is, but I won’t throw trash.

With such faith, he maintained his composure until Lucia opened the warehouse door.

“Voila!”

But when the inside was opened, I couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Crazy angels!”

The inside of the warehouse was simply divided into two groups.

On the shelf on the right, various items—armor and armor—strewn across the shelf, and on the shelf on the left, many small boxes were piled up.

Perhaps all elixirs.

It was rare to see things that were considered high-ranking gathered in one place like that.

It was very rare that it hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, or that it had a lot of dust on it.

‘… … No, these precious things!’

Frightened, I hurriedly ran and used my qi to blow the dust off the box.

In order not to fly indiscriminately in the air, qi was circulated in the form of marbles in the water, and only dust was removed and cleaned.

“If you do it with a wet mop, you have a hard time doing simple things.”

“… … Of course you should do that too.”

I knew it was much simpler and cleaner to organize like that.

But what can I do?

I wouldn’t want to see a second of dust on top of an expensive elixir box.

No, there had to be no such world.

How many people could not eat one of these high-quality elixirs and stay in first class?

“… … how much is all this There are also products from famous workshops in the Great Hall of Shaolin Temple, including Millennium Snow Ginseng, Mann Year Heshuo, and Gongqing Oil… … ”

“Everything is sealed, do you recognize that?”

“Isn’t that obvious?!”

When I stared at her with her eyes wide open, Lucia was taken aback for a moment and then stepped back. Mother, she murmured after taking a break for a while.

“… … No, I’m not the one managing here. I don’t know because I’ve never had any elixir. Will you stop looking at me with those scary eyes?”

Certainly, as she said, Lucia was not the person managing this warehouse.

He must have been busy attending school, and he had never taken an elixir, so he had no idea.

‘Other angels must be the same.’

Baekyik people were innately unable to accept qi from the outside.

It was a powerful being from birth, but it couldn’t be rapidly strengthened by external things like elixirs.

So, these precious elixirs must have been locked away in a closet, dusty.

“… … Anyway, isn’t this a bit harsh?”

Before I knew it, I created a large lump of dust in my hand, and I naturally handed it over to the angel next to me and asked about it.

“So, can I eat all of this?”

“No, it is not.”

The angel, who had been looking at the dust on his hand cryptically, suddenly replied firmly.

“One piece, one elixir. Even if we can’t eat, we don’t have to do business.”

It was quite a worldly remark for a white wing with the nickname of an angel.

“Instead, the really important items are kept separately, so you can choose any one of them.”

Lucia replied with a shrug, and I was deeply impressed.

‘… … sh*t, millennium snow ginseng and gongqing oil aren’t important?’

If the highest quality elixir is not important, what on earth is it?

I honestly had doubts, but I realized only one thing.

If I get a request from these guys later, I’m sure I’ll be able to get the elixir.

I found an opponent who could be ripped off at a bargain price.

‘By the way, what should I choose?’

After thinking about it for a long time, I picked Gongcheng Oil from the shelf.

Not too long ago, I absorbed Daehwandan, and although they were different, I also shared Seolsam with Cheon Yu-ha.

Since the elixir also develops resistance, it was right to choose Gongqing Oil for the first time in this life.

‘This lovely guy.’

After staring at the test tube filled with milky liquid for a while, I turned my gaze to the object.

Now, what shall we choose this time?

In the midst of such happy thoughts, I suddenly felt a strange air wave.

Ugh-

Tushin’s gloves vibrated.
