Episode 143
Johanna looked over the test results with a satisfied face.
“The first cured case came out.”
“That’s good.”
Next to her was Kang Tae-min. Johanna nodded her head.
“The seeds made from monsters also served as a sufficient cure. My theory is not wrong.”
“I think I did well to leave it to you.”
“Well, it’s still too early to be completely relieved. It was a child who was cured this time.”
“Does that matter?”
“I wouldn’t call it a problem. However, children’s souls are immature, so the magic of lunatic money is that small.”
Johanna said that and lit a pipe. White smoke rose and swirled around her.
“And first of all, the magic cast on these people is a bit different from the existing ones.”
“different?”
“It looks like they changed their strategy.”
“… Aren’t you going to become a follower of madness?”
Taemin Kang slightly frowned. Johanna sighed, exhaled smoke, and nodded.
“To put it simply, the existing magic is a mutation switch, and the magic planted in these people is a detonation switch.”
“Are you just going to die?”
“Don’t die. But don’t just die. Didn’t I say that the followers of madness radiate a special mana wavelength?”
“Yes, you made a detector out of it.”
“yes. The followers of madness radiate waves and attack other sentient bodies to infect them. But this is different. It detonates the soul and emits an intense mana wave in an instant.”
She brushed her flowing silver hair and frowned.
“It’s not a Shinto, it’s just a sacrifice. They’re probably going to open a dimensional rift with that wave.”
“that is… Is it possible?”
“… maybe.”
Johanna paused for a moment before answering. Her gaze landed on the screen observing the ward.
“It’s easy to understand if you think about how gates and dungeons are formed. With the mana stored in the core, it overlaps with an unspecified dimension.”
“So these people were substitutes for the core.”
“That’s how it is. However, Lunatic Don requires more mana and a special wavelength to connect to its own dimension.”
Kang Tae-min suddenly recalled the memories before returning.
-entire. buy it. lost uh?
The last appearance of Yeomma Yuhwarin, who has been collecting cores with the determination to find her missing parents in the dungeon.
The core she had been collecting had been stolen by someone.
‘At that time, Miss Backdoor was said to be the work of Lunatic Don.’
No further news was heard as he died. But now that I’ve heard the story, I can guess the inside story.
‘I wonder if he was planning to collect cores using flamethrowers and use those cores to connect dimensions.’
However, in this life, Kang Tae-min’s intervention changed everything. The Lunatic Dorns lost their apostles, and their influence gradually diminished.
I wonder if I was trying to take an extreme method because I was so cornered. Of course, even that was stopped by Kang Tae-min.
“Is there any other way for them to come over here?”
“Other than that? Umm… Well, I’m not sure about that.”
At Kang Tae-min’s question, she tilted her head.
“You know, I couldn’t even keep my own soul dry. It took an enormous amount of mana to create a gap for only me to come over. But why all of a sudden?”
“It’s because what the dead apostle said bothered me.”
“word?”
Taemin Kang pondered over what Seraphine had said.
-The time of the full moon will come, the moon will rise and the world will be dyed pale.
At first, I just thought ‘full moon’ was a metaphor.
-If Man-Wol had existed, he would have wanted to make him an apostle.
This incident gave rise to the belief that Manwol was the leader of the apostles.
‘I have to keep the worst in mind.’
Since all the other apostles had been defeated, the leader could have stepped forward himself.
“The iron man heard something similar.”
At Taemin Kang’s explanation, Yohanna rolled her eyes for a moment.
“Hmm… Certainly not without possibility. You don’t need to worry too much though.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. First, the apostles were eliminated by the iron man, and I can heal these people. It must be difficult to secure mana with lunatic money.”
At least on this side, I did everything I could. However, what Kang Tae-min was worried about was the other side, the dimension dominated by Lunatic money.
Johanna knew that too.
“Next, as I said earlier, the amount of mana required to transfer only the soul is enormous. Wouldn’t that man named Manwol try to come over here while still retaining his body?”
“It will be so.”
“yes. But if he goes beyond the dimension without our help, the price he will have to pay will be enormous.”
“How much is it?”
“Um, that’s it, I don’t know the details. You could lose a part of your body, or you would lose mana. In any case, it is certain that it will inevitably be much weaker than its original state.”
At Yohanna’s words, Kang Tae-min shook his head.
“It means that we can eradicate Lunatic money from this side.”
“Yes, so we should focus on developing a cure quickly.”

Several days have passed since Kim Seong-soo spent time in Rex’s hideout. He wanted to go back right away, but he couldn’t.
“Your complexion has improved a little.”
“thank you.”
“Looks like the rangers treated you pretty harshly.”
When Kim Seong-soo returned to Earth, he arrived in the DMZ area. While running away from being chased by monsters, he encountered rangers on patrol.
“Mana… .”
“I don’t feel it.”
Was it the cost of dimension shifting?
Seongsu Kim lost all the mana he had accumulated in other dimensions. This was the reason Ranger didn’t believe his statement.
“Thank you for trusting me.”
The soldiers interrogated him.
I would rather understand if you were a North Korean defector, but it was because Kim Sung-soo kept claiming that he was a citizen of the Republic of Korea.
“Anyway, you know… ?”
“Unfortunately, there is no record.”
“No way!”
Sungsoo Kim opened his eyes.
Your name, address, social security number, and even your place of employment. He told the rangers all his personal information.
However, the rangers replied that there was no ‘Kim Seong-soo’ who matched that information.
I thought there must be a mistake, but Rex gave the same answer.
“Ah, that’s right. I have been there for over 10 years. I heard there was a cataclysm and there was chaos? Then the data may have been lost at that time.”
He spoke hastily. It seemed that only then could he deny reality.
“Actually, that’s a bit odd.”
“Yes?”
“The cataclysm happened 25 years ago.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
Kim Sung-soo’s eyes shook violently. Rex, on the other hand, spoke in a calm voice.
“In addition, I also looked for the family members who told me… .”
“No, no. Nonsense… !”
didn’t want to hear I was anticipating what would come after that. He raised his voice as if in a fit and erased Rex’s behind-the-scenes remarks.
“Something, something is wrong. I want to go. I must go now!”
He jumped up from his seat. Rex tried to stop him with a stiff expression.
“I will do whatever you wish.”
I stopped at the voice of No Name from behind. Kim Sung-soo’s gaze turned to him.
“However, the world has changed a lot. How about going after you recover a little bit of your strength?”
“Nope! Can’t wait any longer!”
Kim Sung-soo raised his voice, but soon shook his head with a sorry face.
“No, sorry for yelling at you. But really… Help is fine.”
“Well, I thought this might help me regain my strength, but… .”
No-Name showed him a vial of black liquid and shook it.
“I will not force you.”
Sungsoo Kim’s gaze turned around. His eyes, which wandered for a moment, soon fixed again.
“… I’m sick of hanging out with corpses now.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
The reaction was a bit disappointed.
Kim Sung-soo was very nervous. Could it be that they have changed their minds and tried to harm themselves?
“Pet and Rex. We ask for this person’s safe return home.”
“Yes, I understand.”
But fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Pete silently opened the portal, and Rex guided him obediently.
After the three of them disappeared.
“I’m going home, so I don’t know if it was rude to those who don’t have a home to go back to.”
Noname muttered in a laughing voice.

The association’s emergency stand-by was lifted, and the special class students returned to the Surado Guild as their training ground.
Kang Tae-min finished his mandatory sparring with Jung Jun-hyeok and went to the resting room with Lee Lu-ah.
“How was the consultation?”
The day before, there was a student who asked for advice from Eruah, and it was to hear a report about him.
“Well, he said he wanted to be a streamer.”
“Are you a streamer?”
“Yes, basically, he said he wants to save money by doing freelance hunter work in his spare time and broadcasting the rest of the time.”
Taemin Kang thought for a while, then asked again.
“So how did you answer?”
“I told you to think a little deeper. It’s not that my skills aren’t bad. It would be a social loss to leave a Hunter with such skill… .”
“What was the student’s expression after hearing the answer?”
“Yes? Your expression?”
When Kang Tae-min abruptly cut off her words, she widened her eyes. Then, she averted her eyes in embarrassment.
It was because I couldn’t remember.
“Students apply for counseling because they think the teacher will listen to them.”
“ah… .”
“This is just my personal opinion, but I believe that career counseling is not about providing alternatives, but about finding a way for students to go the way they want.”
It was not just a student’s story.
“You don’t have to be who society wants you to be. I think the derailment is enough for the teacher to stop. Wouldn’t it be nice to help me go on a path that is not wrong, even if it’s not a good path?”
It was a time when Kang Tae-min’s own life was like that. The things he has been doing are not ‘good’ things, but they are not wrong.
“… Sorry. I was immature.”
“No, because I didn’t tell you in advance which direction I wanted. And I believe in Mr. Lua.”
Irua, who was sullen, raised her head. Taemin Kang was smiling lightly.
“If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t have entrusted my students.”
“Ah yes… ! I will work hard.”
Irua felt her ears heat up. Fortunately, while she was working hard on managing her expression, Taemin Kang picked up his smartphone.
“for a bit.”
“Ah yes!”
Taemin Kang answered the phone.
“Yes, Headmaster.”
<Mr. Kang! Are you on the phone!?>
It was Rosalyn’s contact.
Eruah immediately left the break room without noticing. Kang Tae-min went into the smoking room inside and asked for a cigarette.
“of course. what brings you here?”
<Ayu, I’m not trying to disturb Mr. Kang. I got really angry!>
“… Are you angry?”
<Honestly, I just wanted to cut this in my line, but I’m telling you because I don’t think it’s polite to Mr. Kang again.>
In fact, Rosalyn seemed to have received a lot of heat and quickly poured out her words. And why did she do that?
<Oh, I got a call from China.>
It was a request for a friendly match between the Chinese Academy and the Chinese New People’s School.
<What are these guys doing to see us?>
However, the content was that it would be done in China, not Korea.
