Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 123 the Heart of the Red Cross (1)

The third basement floor of the Taishan family’s mansion.

Kang Seo-jun checked the time as soon as he returned from “Dimension Gap Logistics Warehouse.”

Now the time is 5:51.

Taeho Park There were only 9 minutes left until 6 o’clock, when he was scheduled to meet his grandfather.

‘Let’s go up quickly before it’s too late.’

Kang Seo-Jun walked up the stairs 3 to 4 at a time and went up to the first floor lounge.

-Sleep.

‘There is no one.’

Come to think of it, we just decided to meet at the mansion at 6 a.M., But didn’t set a specific meeting place.

‘Where are you?’ .’

Kang Seo-jun activated the “Eye of Providence” And searched the mansion.

‘Ah. You are still preparing.’

Taeho Park was wearing armor in his room with the help of employees.

‘Should I sit down and wait for a moment?’

Since you have to take these stairs to come down to the first floor anyway, we will meet you naturally once you are ready.

Seojun Kang sat down on the side of the stairs and opened the system window.

While I was waiting, there was something I had to do.

‘First, I have to decide which hideout I want to go to farming first.’

Currently, there are a total of four Omen secret warehouses remaining. Therefore, there were 4 choices.

‘Which is best…’

There were more than one or two things to keep in mind.

‘First of all, your route should not overlap with the Kuyamoto clan.’

Since he had defeated Sakura Kuyamoto before and left her a note with the ‘coordinates of the Red Cross Society’s hideout’, there was a high probability that the Kuyamoto clan would have already robbed some hideouts first.

‘There is no need to take Grandpa Taeho Park to the hideout where the Kuyamoto clan has already cleaned out the demons.’

If the place had already been cleared of demons, Kang Seo-jun could have robbed the secret warehouse on his own.

First of all, the Kuyamoto clan hasn’t been robbed yet… , I had to first find a hideout that needed cleaning.

‘See… ‘ .’

Omen’s remaining secret warehouse is currently…

One in Russia, one in Jeju Island, and one in Gangwon-do.

And one at the headquarters of the Red Cross, located on Mt. Geumgang.

A total of 4 like this.

‘First of all, I won’t be going to the main mountain today, so I’ll leave it out.’

Omen, the leader of the Red Cross Society who is currently at the headquarters, also has the same [S+] Level specs as Taeho Park, so if you make a mistake, Grandpa Taeho Park could be killed by Omen.

It would be safer for Kang Seo-jun to go to the headquarters after he develops his specifications a bit more.

‘So, first of all, exclude Mt. Geumgang. Russia, Jeju Island, Gangwon Province. You have to choose between these three places.’

First, we had to figure out where the Kuyamoto clan was currently cleaning.

‘It’s been a while since I handed over the coordinates to Sakura. I’m sure at least one place has been cleaned by now.’

Kang Seo-jun activated the “Eye of Providence” And first checked the hideout located in Russia.

-Wow.

Magic circles that interlock like gears before your eyes.

Soon, the image of the Russian hideout began to appear in the center of the magic circles.

-Roaring…

“…”

The Russian hideout was an underground bunker located halfway up the mountain.

In front of the entrance, I saw Russians in suits and the Kuyamoto family in uniforms having various conversations.

‘Oh… Looks like it’s already over here.’

Given the circumstances, there was a high probability that the white people in those suits were members of the Russian Hunter Association.

It seemed that the hideout had already been cleaned and was being organized under the direction of the association.

‘Farming of corpses… I guess I should give up.’

Cleanup experts from the Russian Association were already cleaning up the corpses of the demons.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. Now, [A] Grade or lower mine corpses are just pennies.’

Even in RPG games, don’t you farm like collecting waste paper in the early stages, but only pick and eat what you need in the later stages?

Now is the time for Kang Seo-jun to graduate from scrap paper farming.

‘As long as the secret warehouse is intact.’

Anyway, all the good ones worth [Epic] Level or higher are there.

‘The Kuyamoto kids or the Russian association will never be able to find the secret warehouse.’

It is said that Seo-Jun Kang has the secret knowledge and the Eye of Providence, so he can eat it like cake, but the Omen’s secret warehouse was not that easy to find.

The entrance to the secret warehouse was structured so that it could never be found with the naked eye, and it was also equipped with a detection-blocking spell, so it could not be detected by most types of magic.

‘If there are a few people missing from the hideout, I can go alone and rob the secret warehouse.’

As for the Russian hideout, let’s do that for now and put it on hold for now.

‘Now all that’s left is Jeju-do and Gangwon-do.’

Kang Seo-jun activated the “Eye of Providence” And looked at the hideout located on Jeju Island.

The hideout on Jeju Island is a cave under a coastal cliff.

‘Her…’

-Quang! Kwaaang!

A battle was taking place there in real time.

‘Oh my, crazy!’

Kang Seo-jun discovered a particularly familiar face in the battle and opened his eyes.

‘Kuyamoto Musashi came forward in person… !?’

The head of the Kuyamoto clan, a renowned Japanese swordsman.

A [S+] Level hunter and a Japanese old monster with the nickname “Sumgeom (閃劍).”

He was at the forefront of the battle, grinding down all the demons like a living blender.

‘It will be difficult to collect the bodies this way…’

You have to have something to pick up before you can sell it or not…

Because they are grinding the mine, they are almost turning it into porridge…

‘… There’s nothing more to see.’

The Jeju Island hideout will soon be cleaned up.

I never thought the Kuyamoto clan would clean so hard.

It seems he was quite angry that he turned Golden Sun Kuyamoto Kenji into a blood clot.

Since Musashi, the head of the family, sent Kenji to Korea, he may feel responsible as the head of the family and seek revenge.

‘Actually, the Kenji incident has nothing to do with the Red Cross. If they had found out that I was the real culprit… I don’t even want to imagine it.’

If it weren’t for the luck of ’50’ in 《The Favorite》, Kang Seo-jun would have died many times over.

‘Is Gangwon-do the only thing left now?’

Kang Seo-jun activated the “Eye of Providence” And looked at the last candidate, Gangwon-do.

If the Kuyamoto clan is cleaning up to this point, they should look into overseas villain organizations or hidden dungeons for farming today.

‘Oh…’

Fortunately, Gangwon-do still seemed to be fine.

‘This is really lucky.’

Unlike other hideouts, the Gangwon-do hideout had a lot to eat other than corpses and secret warehouses.

‘The Gangwon-do hideout is like a logistics center for the Red Cross Society.’

The Red Cross temporarily stores items stolen and taken from Korea in a hideout in Gangwon-do before moving them to its headquarters.

And supplies delivered from the head office to Korea are first delivered to branches in each region via the Gangwon-do hideout.

If the headquarters is located on Mt. Geumgang is the head of the Red Cross Society, this hideout in Gangwon-do was truly the heart of the Red Cross Society.

‘Where… ‘. How many things have you accumulated now? . Oh…’

The warehouse is literally full.

It was a bountiful harvest that we had not seen much in the game [Grand Hunter Academy].

‘It looks like Omen was really in a hurry.’

This phenomenon was clearly due to Omen’s actions

Since a large number of executives and hideouts have been robbed recently, they must have raised the alert level to the highest and gathered the important artifacts stored in each branch at the hideout here in Gangwon-do to move them to the headquarters before they are robbed .

‘I’ve gathered a lot of things, so even demons will be very rare.’

There is no way Omen didn’t assume that the Gangwon-do hideout could be attacked at any time.

They must have concentrated all kinds of elite demons as a precaution against the attack.

‘Rather good.’

Grandpa Taeho Park will turn their bones, flesh, and even equipment into dimensional currency.

‘There are even many hidden dungeons in Gangwon-do.’

After visiting the Gangwon-do hideout, you can go all the way to the hidden dungeon for dessert.

‘Good. Let’s move quickly before the Kuyamoto clan attacks us.’

It was the moment when today’s farming location was decided.

“Oh, you. Are you here already?”

“?”

At an amazing timing, Park Tae-ho appeared from behind.

“If you come first, come to the room. Did you wait long?”

“No, I just came too.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

“?”

After saying hello, I saw that Park Tae-ho’s complexion looked much better than yesterday.

The frizzy white hair was full of shine today, and the eyes were always red and bloodshot, looked clear and clean today.

“You can see that I have changed too.”

“Ah. Yes. Your complexion is much better than yesterday.”

“Haha. It’s been almost 30 years since I slept this soundly. I’m sure it’s thanks to you. Thank you.”

“… Yes?”

Why are you suddenly saying thank you?

“There’s no need to act like you’re embarrassed. The nightmare that had been bothering me for 30 years suddenly appeared today, and you’re the only one who can do this.”

“… Ah?”

What is this old man talking about now?

You said you had a nightmare for 30 years?

I’ve never seen such a setting in the game [Grand Hunter Academy]…

[Intelligence: 26] [Insight check successful!]

‘Ah!?’

Suddenly, an insight into the current situation was intuitively embedded in Kang Seo-jun’s mind.

‘Could it be because of Tyrving?’

30 years ago was the time when Park Tae-ho had just started using Tyrbing.

‘Hmm.’

Come to think of it, even in the game [Grand Hunter Academy], There was a penalty called “Call of Madness” When using Tyrving.

It was a debuff penalty that reduced fatigue recovery by 40% and increased stress levels if you did not destroy or kill something for even a single day.

It was a setting worthy of a magic sword that would lead the user to madness and destruction.

‘But it’s not a difficult penalty to get rid of…’

Removing the penalty in “Call of Madness” Is simple.

All you have to do is change the owner of Tyrving.

If the owner changes, “Call of Madness” Will slowly disappear over time.

The process of changing ownership is also straightforward.

Just make one of any living things die with Tyrving and the owner will change.

‘It’s a [Myth] Grade magic sword, so not just anyone can hold and swing it…’

If we just had an [A] Level hunter wear some protective gear and have him swing it for 10 seconds, it would have been enough to change the owner…

‘I didn’t know there was a method like this… Or not…’

Could it be that he carried the “Call of Madness” Alone for 30 years without passing the sacrifice on to anyone? ?

Is that possible with human willpower?

How strong is your willpower?

“You solved it, right? What on earth did you do with that magic sword? No matter what I did, I couldn’t solve that nightmare until now.”

‘Crazy… As expected.’

As Park Tae-ho mentioned the magic sword, the prediction became certain.

“Tell me. “What did you do?”

… I should have said that I sold Taeho Park’s Tyrving and Gleipnir at one point.

I never thought I would have a good opportunity to say something like this.

There was no way Kang Seo-jun would miss such a good opportunity.

“… I banished the demon sword out of the dimension and sealed it so that it could no longer cause harm to my grandfather.”

“…Huh. Of course. West of the river…!”

-Wow!

Tae-ho Park warmly hugged Seo-jun Kang.

“Uh, huh!?”

“Ha… How thankful I am… I really appreciate it. Thanks to you, I have regained one of the happinesses I had lost.”

“Oh, no…”

“The west side of the river is a treasure…! A treasure…!”

-Booby booby booby booby.

Ugh…

It wasn’t very pleasant to see the furry old man rubbing his cheek, but it didn’t mean I couldn’t understand how Taeho Park felt.

Only those who have suffered from severe insomnia know the importance of a good night’s sleep.

Just not being able to fall asleep is extremely difficult, and even if you can barely fall asleep, you must have had nightmares, so how hard has it been for you?

‘Anyway, Taeho Park has been having nightmares for 30 years because of Tyrving… ‘ .’

This was a setting that did not appear in the game [Grand Hunter Academy].

‘What… Isn’t it strange?’

Because Park Tae-ho was the type of person who didn’t like to talk about difficult things about himself.

Even if I tell you, if you don’t know the solution, you’ll just be worrying your family, so you’ve probably been suffering alone.

‘Grandpa, I finally understand. How did you live like that? He doesn’t feel lonely anymore. Now come with me.’

The heart of the Red Cross, to farm at a hideout in Gangwon-do.

It was the moment when Kang Seo-jun, who had reached the [S-] Grade, and Park Tae-ho, a [S+] Grade hunter, began their great farming adventure.
