< Barrier country (3) >
The huge man’s bent right hand stretched out and tried to strike Sang-woo directly.
But right before that, Envy appeared in front of Sang-woo as a teleportation and blocked his fist.
Kwak!
It was impossible to imagine that human bodies collided with each other, and an explosion erupted, shaking the air.
Spherical shockwaves that spread around their bodies.
The dirt and sand on the floor, which was far away, was caught in the aftermath and shook mercilessly, raising dust.
“Uh…”
Sangwoo frowned at Envy’s grotesquely crushed fist.
The moment the man attacked, Envy also swung his fist in line with it.
Despite the intense fist fighting, the man was fine, while Envy’s fist was shattered.
‘Envy is also indestructible… isn’t it crazy?’
Envy was also very strong because he was expressing 80% of Sang-woo’s abilities even though he was an alter ego.
Despite this, the fist became like that in just one shot.
‘That person is very strong.’
For some reason, thinking that his face looked familiar, Sang-woo cast his skill at Envy.
[Sacred Power]
[Recovery]
After expressing the energy of the Holy Power sneaked (?) from Bless, he used the recovery skill using it.
Then, thanks to the regenerative power, Envy’s twisted arm, which had been regenerating at a fairly fast speed, although not rapidly, was restored to its original state in an instant.
Envy became so fine.
Seeing that, Sang-woo shouted at the man who was looking up at him from the ground.
“What are you doing!”
However, the man just silently looked at Sang-woo and shook his shoulders, as if he did not understand Sang-woo’s words.
‘Can’t you understand my words because the language is different?’
Sang-woo, who mistook the man for a man from the planet Tibern, looked at the man carefully while thinking about that.
Blond hair scattered like a mane that seemed to come down to her waist.
In addition, a huge body that could hardly be considered human.
2m? No, it was big enough to believe that it was 3m.
However, it had perfect human body proportions without feeling that the proportions were strange due to the huge head skeleton.
Above all, those muscles wriggling without any gaps as if they were made out of pieces.
‘That’s amazing…’
Sang-woo looked at the man with admiration inside rather than fear, and suddenly realized that he knew someone who looked like that.
‘It’s Leo Gardo!’
Yes.
A man who has destroyed all monsters with his bare fists since the cataclysm.
A man who holds the title of being the strongest man on Earth.
It was Leogardo.
And now that Leogardo has been attacking himself.
Of course, as if that wasn’t the end, Leogardo tried to jump out again.
However, he couldn’t help but pause at Sang-woo’s words.
“…Aren’t you Leogar by any chance?”
Leogardo’s thighs, which had swelled up as if they were about to jump at Sang-woo’s question, sank.
Then, with a slightly questioning look on his face, he wiggled his fingers.
“Don’t be arrogantly upstairs, come down. My throat hurts.”
blunt speech.
However, it was in clear English, and it was translated and delivered through Sangwoo’s smart goggles.
‘It must be the real Leogardo.’
At those words, Sang-woo, who was floating in the air, quietly landed on the floor with the clones holding high expectations.
Chak –
A total of 4 clones standing in front of Leogardo.
Leogardo, who was looking at Sang-woo, who had identical faces like twins (even the combat suits were identical in black), opened his mouth while looking at Sang-woo’s regular alter ego.
“Do you know me?”
A growling voice.
Sang-woo forgot the attack he had suffered earlier and nodded happily.
“of course. Is there anyone among the people who doesn’t know Leogar or Mr. Leogardo? I am a fan too.”
Sang-woo, who was just trying to call Leogardo’s name as if he were just calling a celebrity, was startled and corrected it.
Of course, Sangwoo wasn’t just a true fan of collecting goods like a Leogardo figure.
However, he adored and liked Leogardo in his heart among many hunters, awakened people, and such heroes who saved mankind from cataclysm from before.
Although the abilities of the awakened people were diverse and diverse, they were considered true ‘supermen’ who conquered monsters with only one physical ability that surpassed the human body.
It was also because it matched well with Sang-woo’s taste, who mainly liked martial arts and warrior characters when he was a sucker for online games.
“Hmm… You must be an Earthling.”
“yes. I am Korean. Wow, I never thought I would meet the same earthlings here. I couldn’t imagine. Also Leogardo! Wow… nice to meet you.”
Sang-woo making a fuss.
And seeing Sang-woo like that, Leogardo opened his mouth.
“…Did you just do that flame attack?”
Leogardo doesn’t care what Sang-woo says and just says what he has to say.
Sang-woo, who hesitated for a moment at his cold words, answered soon.
“yes? Ah, you mean Nuclear Laser. yes. I did it. that cranid? I thought there were too many of them, so I took them off because they looked dangerous. What’s wrong?”
At Sang-woo’s question, Leogardo shook his head.
“That wasn’t it. I was just curious because it was a great attack.”
“Oh really? It’s embarrassing to see Mr. Leogardo admit this. ha ha ha.”
Sang-woo scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
It was hard to see that he had been attacked just before.
“By the way, Mr. Leogardo hasn’t been on TV for a while, so I thought he was retired, but he was here? How did you get here? Through Mr. Lucas?”
There must have been a lot of questions, so Sang-woo bombarded me with questions like a rapid-fire cannon.
Leogardo, who was expressionless looking at Sang-woo.
Then, suddenly, he turned his head and started walking away from the barrier.
That direction was the direction in which the hordes of monsters were rushing.
“What is it… You have a bit of a personality.”
Sang-woo murmured as if he was disappointed with Leogardo’s cold attitude.
But no.
“That is the charm of Leogardo. A man among men. Keuuu… I should take this opportunity to build up some personal connections.”
Leogardo was his favorite idol among the hunters, so even such a blunt attitude made him look cool.
‘Did the filming go well?’
And Sang-woo, who was recording with the built-in smart goggles camera app to commemorate the meeting with his idol.
While Sang-woo, who was quickly checking to see if the conversation was recorded well, operated his smart goggles for a while.
A series of groups landed in front of the inner wall of the barrier right next to him.
Then they manipulate something.
Then, a small image appeared on one side of the barrier.
– Please indicate your affiliation.
The man in the video speaks in a language that is completely unintelligible.
But strangely, the man’s words were translated and heard in Sang-woo’s head.
Even though I didn’t go through the translation app of Smart Goggles.
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
Sang-woo muttered for a moment, then answered.
“I am from Earth. Hmmmm can I speak Korean?”
when you feel a little unsure.
The man in the video nodded slightly as if he understood, then opened his mouth.
– Dear Earthlings, please state your country and the name of your affiliation.
Sang-woo felt that he was being a bit picky, but from the other side’s point of view, he was an unknown alien, so he accepted it and thought it was a natural procedure.
“I live in a country called Korea. Should I say that I am affiliated with JM Agency…? It’s there anyway. My name is Jeong Sang-woo.”
At those words, the man in the video, who paused as if recording something, asked the question again.
-Are you an Awakener or a Hunter? If you are a hunter, please also indicate what rank you are.
“Hunter. Now it’s grade A.”
Annoying boss.
However, the other side was a little surprised.
– Please wait.
Then the video disappeared.
Sang-woo stood still, facing a series of uniformed crowds watching him with a barrier between them.
Whii-i-ying-
The atmosphere vibrating violently in the aftermath of an explosion.
Standing on the devastated land full of ashes, Sang-woo felt tired for some reason.
‘I’m tired to death. It can go in or it can’t.’
Sang-woo waited for a while.
But 5 minutes, 10 minutes, time continues to flow.
He began seriously contemplating whether to break through the barrier into the core of Gluttony’s gluttony.
‘You don’t have to pretend. And if there is something wrong with the barrier due to the gluttony core, it will be a major accident…’
So he compromised with himself.
‘You stay still here with Sloth, and Gluttony and Envy patrol around the barrier. Report any unusual issues.’
I disconnected because time was wasted.
That is, while leaving orders to the clones.
* * *
Even though there was a macroeconomics paper test, the daily life of economics students did not change much.
The days when I do my assignments moderately and after the lecture is over, I hang out with my friends.
Although it is a university in the metropolitan area, it was not a prestigious university, so the academic atmosphere was not that hot.
Then, as time passed, the day of the paper test finally arrived.
Only then did the students gathered in the classroom begin to worry about the paper test.
“Yejin, did you study?”
“No… not even one.”
The pretty-looking girl let out a sigh while crying.
“Me too…”
“Haven’t you memorized your genealogy? Seong-tae gave it to me.”
“I got it, but I slept for a while yesterday…”
“Eh, you want to give up your credits?”
“It’s not like that… what should I do?”
Their conversation, which seems to have already been ruined.
And unlike him, there was a group that looked exceptionally confident.
“Seong-tae oppa, how do you think this note test will go?”
“I just managed to memorize it, but I don’t know. First of all, this is the first time that Professor Lee has been in charge of macroeconomics, so I don’t know if the level of the problem will come out as a patchwork of previous exams or a new style. What about you, Mijin? I hear you’ve been spending the night in the library.”
“No, it was just because I had a lot of assignments, but I couldn’t dig a single bit of macroeconomics.”
At a glance, the dark circles came down thickly, as if she had stayed up all night studying, she said with humility.
‘Bitch like a poison.’
‘Ugh, that foxy guy.’
In the economics department, Mijin like a dog and Seongtae like a fox are fiercely fighting each other for the top spot.
While hiding each other’s true feelings, they kept each other in check while estimating each other’s strength in such a friendly conversation.
Because their scholarship was at stake on whether or not it was a tower.
And the students who want to intervene in their conversation.
“Professor, you seem nice, but you probably won’t pay the hard way.”
“Hey, he doesn’t know what. A person who seems nice by nature is sharpening a knife inside.”
During their conversation, when a male student made an ominous remark, everyone looked at the male student with tingly eyes.
“Hey, don’t you know how to be a seed? Be careful what you say.”
“that’s right. You will be dishonest.”
The male student, who had received a stinging glare for no reason, shuddered.
“Hey, it’s a joke, a joke. What are you taking so seriously?”
“What if it comes out difficult?”
A male student asked for a pod.
A male student who is annoyed at the words but responds with a bright smile.
“If it comes out hard, I’ll bet my left ball.”
“really?”
“It’s real.”
“it’s okay. How are you going to use one of your balls?”
A female student’s strike reverberated in the classroom with giggles.
“Queuck. crazy bitch.”
“Isn’t Jin-Won a real twin? I’m going to give you a ball. Crazy baby. Kukkeukkeuk.”
And then.
The door at the front of the classroom opened and a macroeconomics professor entered.
Although he had only a simple tablet in his hand, all the students were straight and tense.
Because this era no longer took the exam with a paper test paper.
“good morning. Guys, you said you would take a paper test today.”
Because the teaching assistant had already set it up, the screen at the front of the classroom had a paper test and time notices.
“All times are 40 minutes. We will start right away in 5 minutes. Everyone, please log in to the economics portal site and log in with the test site link.”
The professor dragged the tablet and sent a link to everyone.
One page pops up on all of them smart tablets and smart goggles.
< Macroeconomics Memo Exam >
-Professor Kang-Cheol Han-
Time left until the start of the exam: 04:57
Everyone started to get nervous when they saw that page.
‘This time I eat A.’
‘Because Seong-tae oppa, I’m going to win this time? I’m sorry.’
While Mijin and Seongtae are eagerly waiting.
The hell they didn’t know was scheduled to unfold in 5 minutes.
And Sang-woo’s alter ego calmly staring at the page floating on his smart goggles.
The clone’s eyes did not shake at all.
