My Abandoned Disciples Came to Me - My Abandoned Disciples Came to Me chapter 67
66. Baek Hyeon-seo’s desperate situation
“Tell me why I have to save you guys.”
“Collock…Collock…”
When Joo-Won Choi spoke while lifting Min Hwa-Yeon’s neck, she replied with a cough.
“I… We can… Help you…”
-Hoo-wook
Choi Joo-won let go of her neck and she fell to the ground. Choi Joo-won looked at Min Hwa-yeon and asked a question.
“Can you help? What are you talking about?”
Then she began to elaborate.
“I am not blaming you in any way, but you have killed not just one or two core members of the Weegrove Guild, but close to a hundred. If this news spreads elsewhere, no matter how strong you are, you will be unable to avoid responsibility.”
Then Choi Joo-won answered with a smile.
“If I can prove that you guys tried to kill me first, then I’m self-defense?”
Minhwayeon swallowed her dry saliva and answered.
“Legally yes, but… don’t you know that the world doesn’t work according to the law?”
As Min Hwa-hyun said. If the high-ranking guilds that are allied with the Weegrove Guild find out about what I did today, they will try to retaliate against me even if we did it in Weegrove.
They are not the ones to argue about legal issues. There were quite a few guys who acted like if they got hurt, they had to pay it back. Of course, it might not show any movement, but nothing was certain.
Joo-Won Choi spoke.
“Are you threatening me?”
Then Minhwayeon quickly shook her head and explained.
“I never threatened you. Anyway, there’s nothing we can do now. We know very well that our lives depend on you, but there is no way we would do such a stupid thing. Just, if we are all wiped out, the alliance guild will investigate to find out the truth, and we will eventually find information about you. No matter how strong you are, you lack power. It will be difficult to handle them all.”
Choi Joo-won sighed and spoke.
“I don’t like to make complicated statements. What do you mean?”
Min Hwa-yeon spoke with determined eyes.
“I am the deputy guild leader of the Wee Grove Guild. I just got excited and declared that I was leaving the Weegrove Guild, but my current external position is still the Vice Guild Leader of the Weegrove Guild. Even, since Song Min-cheol has become that way now, if I survive like this, I will be entrusted with the position of guild leader of the Wee Grove Guild.”
She lowered her head and spoke.
“If I become the guild leader, the Wee Grove Guild will be your strength from now on. It is natural to keep quiet about what happened today, and we will take appropriate measures to prevent your story from spreading to allied guilds. If you are concerned about betrayal, you can use oath magic.”
Choi Joo-won thought about her words for a moment.
‘To sum it up, you go outside and pretend to be the guild leader of the Wee Grove Guild, and use that power to cover up what happened today. In addition, he said that he would be my strength in case of trouble.”
Choi Joo-won was always aware of the importance of ‘power’ while fighting the Mage Tower and Baal. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t fight alone forever against hundreds of troops.
‘Not bad.’
Wygrove is one of the most useful axes in the high-ranking guild. If there is an opportunity to swallow such a guild whole, it is normal to grab it.
‘More than anything, Min Hwa-yeon. Because he seems quite normal.’
Min-Hwa-Yeon is full of camaraderie and sentimental enough to turn against Song Min-Cheol for using his teammates as meat shields.
At the same time, even though Choi Joo-won killed close to 100 colleagues, the reason was that they tried to kill them first, and in the part where they did not resent or seek revenge, but rather offered an alliance and tried to survive. It is rational.
A person who can calmly judge the situation without being biased by emotion or reason.
‘It will be useful in the future.’
It was not a losing business no matter which way you look at it. Rather, killing all these guys here and bothering with other high-level guilds would be more damaging.
‘After all, Song Min-cheol, the ringleader of the incident, is now an idiot.’
Choi Joo-won thought for a while, then he answered.
“I will accept your offer. And I won’t cast any vow magic.”
-Sueuk
Choi Joo-won talked to Min Hwa-yeon.
“You’re a brainy bastard, so you know why I don’t practice oath magic, right? If you go around talking about what happened today, I will kill all of you no matter what I do. Even if you don’t keep the promise you made today. Aren’t you stupid enough to think it’s a bluff?”
[Read]
Choi Joo-won activated his reading skill.
-Gulp
Minhwayeon nodded her head and replied.
“Okay. I will not reveal anything about what happened today, and I will strictly crack down on my colleagues. In addition, I will do everything I promised you.”
– The truth.
After hearing the message from the reading skill, Joo-Won Choi looked at Min Hwa-Yeon with satisfaction.
Joo-Won Choi, the reason why he didn’t dare to use oath magic was simple.
From Joo-Won Choi’s point of view, in order to use the oath magic to cover up what happened today, you have to use the magic on each of the hundreds of wizards of Weegrove who are still alive. However, since the magic circle of the oath is an SSS rank, it is naturally close to impossible to use it on all of them. Even if possible, it would take a lot of time.
Above all, Choi Joo-won has clearly delegated the role to Min Hwa-yeon. If she wants to live, she will crack down on information not spreading. In case she could do something else, she even used deciphering magic, but it turned out to be ‘true’. So Choi Joo-won decided that this measure would be enough.
‘With the newly raised disciples, Mrs. Seol-eun’s guild, and the head of the Hunter Association, now there is only one high-level guild. Not bad.’
Choi Joo-won’s power was gradually increasing.
Joo-Won Choi exchanged her number with her Min Hwa-Yeon in case something happened, then passed her and headed towards her gate.
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
“I’m going to go ahead. Clean up after yourself and come out. Report immediately if anything happens.”
“Okay.”
And Choi Joo-won slowly looked at the nearby Wee Grove guild members one by one.
Then Min Hwa-yeon quickly gave the order.
“Everyone, bow your head and express your gratitude. Because he saved us.”
-Chuck
Then everyone bowed their heads.
-Hooung
Joo-Won Choi passed through her gate with her satisfied eyes.
‘Whoa…’
Min Hwa-yeon stared blankly at the place where Choi Joo-won left her.
At that time, one guild member. Seo Tae-hyeok came and talked to Min Hwa-yeon.
“Deputy guild leader… The author slaughtered our guild members. But is it right to send it like that?”
Then Min Hwa-yeon glared at Seo Tae-hyeok and scolded him.
“What if I don’t send it? You think we’re going to have a fight? Are you going to commit suicide?”
“….”
“It was us who did the cowardly thing first, attacking one person as a group. The death of a colleague is sad, but the author cannot be blamed. Because we were the first to try to kill an innocent author. And i can feel it That guy hasn’t even done his best yet. Had we fought properly, we would all have died. Stop talking nonsense and start working on it. You have to come up with a good reason for a situation that resulted in massive casualties.”
-Jureureuk
At Minhwa-yeon’s words, Seo Tae-hyeok lowered his head and bit his lips hard so that he could not be seen. Blood was flowing from his lips.
“Whoa…”
Min Hwa-yeon sighed and looked at Song Min-cheol, who was lying down, and Song Min-ah, who was crying.
She approached Minah Song and talked.
“I don’t know why you followed me all this way, but get out. We’ll take care of your father, so leave him alone.”
Min Hwa-yeon already knew that Song Min-ah was Song Min-cheol’s daughter.
Song Min-ah, she trudged out of the gate without giving Song Min-cheol a glance.

-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
Song Min-ah walked out of the gate with blank eyes. Her destination is Hellmund Academy.
The sun was getting dark, and it was a time when no one was left at Hellmund Academy.
But she went in through the front door.
The place she headed to was the faculty office.
Song Min-ah is the day Choi Joo-won was unfairly kicked out. She headed back to see the spot where Choi Ju-won was standing. Because the image of him crying didn’t leave my head.
It was not difficult to enter the office. In any case, Hellmund Academy was not only difficult for outsiders to enter, but inside information was under strong security magic, so there were no major restrictions on entering the office.
-Dreuk…
As she tried to open her door, she stopped herself at the sound of her presence.
[Hearing Enhancement]
After using her magic, Minah Song watched from behind her.
Faculty office. There, a girl was crying and muttering.
“Instructor Choi Joo-won… Because of me… If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have left unfairly…”
-Quaang-!
At that moment, Song Min-ah opened the door strongly and put it on again. And she, she glared at the muttering girl inside, she asked.
“You, please explain what you just said.”
“Why… Why are you like this!”
As the girl stood behind her in fear, Song Min-ah unfolded her magic around her.
In an instant, a strong ball of fire formed on her hand.
-If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have left unfairly…
I could have passed it if it was something a normal person said. However, the girl in front of Song Min-ah was President Baek Joo-seok and his daughter Baek Hyeon-seo, who are being pointed out as the person who framed Choi Joo-won.
Song Min-a pours more and more mana into her magic, and she talks while holding on to her life.
“Answer me straight, because I can’t see anything right now. If you don’t properly explain what you said earlier, I might seriously kill you.”
Baek Hyun-seo looked at Song Min-ah with her fearful eyes as her flames burned around her own body.
