The Academy’s Time Stop Player - The Academy’s Time Stop Player chapter 172
It’s sincere.
It was an eerie feeling felt by all the superhumans gathered here today.
The bizarre ability just shown by a superman representing Korea, called Irregular.
The current heroes, who are playing on active duty, could not react at all to such an irregular movement.
In other words, Irregular could kill all the people in the venue in just a few seconds if he made up his mind.
The remark that such a superman was difficult to deal with shocked all the other supermen gathered at the venue.

Moreover, didn’t the regular make a statement with certainty?
If such an existence appears again, give up the subjugation and give priority to evacuation of citizens.
There was no evidence to back up his words with any clear facts, but there was a momentary confusion in the meeting room at Irregular’s remarks, which contained certainty that there were several more exactly such beings.
– Is there really no way?

Meanwhile, Joa Elliot, who was in the meeting room, quietly called Ha-jun, who had just left the meeting room.
A voice full of anxiety.
Ha-jun sighed in response to the words he answered in such a voice.
“Yeah, to be honest, I don’t think it’s going to win even if everyone in the top 10 of the rankings rushes in.”
It may be a bit rude to say, but Ha-jun had no choice but to tell the truth.
In fact, he had that kind of power.
If only one creature had a dungeon of annihilation, that also had a boundary-level magical power, it was all over.
The level is measured by the magic generated by the number of living beings in the dungeon, exactly the number of beasts. If only one creature had the same amount of magic power, how could mankind prevent such existence?
Well, somehow, even if the hero associations of each country, including the USN, cooperated to catch one, it was clear that a lot of sacrifices would have to be made.
And Ha-jun knew that there were still three more such beings.
-Are you sure Irregulars still exist?
“I had a conversation with him. They say there are more.”
To be honest, I don’t remember having such a conversation, but anyway, it’s true, so I put up a basis for that fact.
There was silence over the phone for a moment at Ha-jun’s confident answer.
He must have fallen into contemplation with a serious face.
It’s been awhile since the silence flows like that.
Ha-jun, who had been thinking about something for a moment, opened his mouth to Jo-ah.
“So it is. Have you ever seen a future related to it?”
-Unfortunately, I didn’t foresee it. Even the seawater attack in Korea was unpredictable.
I thought that if she had foresight, there would be something to be saved, but it seems that she also did not anticipate such a situation.
Ha-jun fell into thought again.
To be honest, although such a threatening warning was issued, how many countries would believe Ha-jun’s words and take action?
The existence of a beast that has the power to easily destroy a country is threatening, but considering the by-products that will come from the corpse of such a beast, there will not be many countries that put it down easily.
Well, he’ll probably think of a way to subjugate somehow.
“What do you think of America?”
– I decided to follow your opinion. Irregular I can’t just ignore your words. André, who is currently the number one hero in the world, also agreed with me.
Well, fortunately, the US seems to have decided to follow Ha-jun’s opinion.
After all, the United States is the second most active country after Korea, and I have a close relationship with the president of the American Association.
Of course, aside from that, the United States must have made this decision because, after Korea, it is the country that understands Ha-Jun’s power the most.
It must be the country that best understands the weight of the remark that it was difficult to deal with even the irregular.
-The president of the American Hero Association, Andro Association, said he would like to have a detailed conversation about the matter. Do you have time?
“Now?”
-Yes, I would like to have a conversation right after the meeting is over.
Ha-joon thought about something for a moment at those words, and hung up the phone with the answer that he knew.
I just had a few questions for him.
* * *
“Thank you for your time, Irregular.”
The reception room at the headquarters of the American Heroes Association.
Ha-jun was having a conversation with Andro Hans, the president of the association.
After a brief greeting, Andro looked at Ha-jun and began to offer some material.
Hajun looked at the data for a moment and then opened his mouth to look at him.
“what is this?”
“It is the concentration of annihilation magic measured by our Hero Association just a few years ago. In fact, there was one problem with this case.”
It was Andro who explained the material with a serious face with those words.
“If you look at the map of extinction in the document, you can see that there are three huge dots in the Worst section. One is the break-plan dungeon that Irregular attacked at the request of our association in the past, and the other two points are the magical power of a certain creature observed 5 years ago, in the Extinction. Each of them has the same magical power as the boundary-grade dungeons. It makes no sense for the Boundary Dungeon itself to move, so we were able to pinpoint that it was a single creature.”
With that said, Ha-jun quietly checked the data.
And I could understand what he was trying to say.
“Perhaps there is a high possibility that a beast with the same power as the seawater Irregular is talking about exists in the extinction of the United States.”
At that, Hajun nodded his head.
Clearly, the extinction of the United States is vastly larger than that of other countries.
“And there is one more thing I want to ask. before the seawater incident. I wonder if the cadet who gave me a magical beast with the same power as the seawater didn’t subdue it in our annihilation… … ?”
He is probably referring to the fairy king whom he met during the Liam incident.
Surely Ha-jun nodded his head because he had killed him at that time.
And it was Andro who looked relieved at Ha-jun’s answer.
“under… … , I heard about the situation from Liam, but it was true. First of all, thank you. It seems like we got a lot of help without knowing it.”
“Then you mean there is one more left?”
“The one that remains is a bit vague. Exactly, one of the beasts that appeared in the Worst section moved slowly to the center of annihilation, but the remaining one disappeared from the spot in an instant.”
“… … Disappeared?”
“Yes, it disappeared on the spot the moment it was observed. It is probably not the beast that Hajun cadet subjugated. It’s because the concentration of magical power was different. The beast that Hajun-nim subjugated was probably a creature that moved to the center of annihilation.”
Then there was only one thing.
Either he disappeared on the spot by using some kind of ability, or he hid the magical power that he spewed out.
However, Hajun and Andro were also thinking about the former.
“He may have had enough control to hide his magical powers, like the seawater that Hajun-nim subjugated, but I think it is correct to say that he disappeared. It wasn’t that magic of this size was slowly fading away, but it was really gone in an instant. However, we cannot rule out the risk that it may be somewhere in the extinction area.”
With those words, Andro looked at Hajun with a serious face.
Ha-jun was able to predict to some extent what the association president Andro would bring up.
“Because of this situation, the American Hero Association would like to ask Irregular for cooperation.”
Although the concentration of magical power of the actual demonic beast was specified, the power of the monster was not fully understood.
However, it was the American Hero Association that recognized the strength of the seawater to some extent due to this seawater incident.
A risk that could only be subjugated at the expense of perhaps hundreds of top-tier heroes.
To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to subdue that beast.
Rather, the subjugation may fail and only sacrifice may follow.
“Could you please help subdue this beast?”
So, the president of the association asked Ha-jun, the only possibility in front of him.
Ready to pay any remuneration.
If he could prevent the damage he expected with an astronomical amount of money, he was willing to pay. He was well aware of the seriousness of this situation.
And at those words, Ha-jun began to ponder for a moment.
Andro was watching Ha-joon with a nervous look at such a troubled look.
About a minute passed like that, and Hajun looked at him and opened his mouth softly.
“Yeah, well, I see.”
“thank you.”
To be honest, I had already decided on the answer.
I was just thinking about it because I had something to think about.
“Of course, the priority is Korea. If such a beast appears in Korea, it may be too late to go to help.”
“Yes, I will excuse you.”
Andro simply nodded.
Ha-jun’s opinion was reasonable and natural.
Of course, I don’t know if that will actually happen.
Still, just in case, Ha-jun gave an opinion that he had just thought of.
“I wonder what the guy who turned himself in at that time is doing?”
“… … Lane?”
Andro looked at Hajun with a slightly bewildered look at those words.
He thought for a moment, then opened his mouth slowly.
“If it’s Lane, he’s quietly imprisoned in a superintendent’s prison. Why are you looking for Lane? … ?”
“I think it will help.”
“help… … , you mean?”
He looked at Ha-jun with a puzzled expression and said.
Hajun continued to talk to Andro.
“Can I see him?”

Iron that suppresses magic.
A room in which all walls on all sides of the floor and ceiling are made of black iron.
There was a girl sitting quietly at her desk and reading a book.
The leader of Villaants, a group of villains that boasted an S-class risk in the past.
lane.
She sat quietly at her desk and enjoyed reading with an expressionless expression.
But there was a feeling of calmness in that expressionless expression.
That was then.
“… … .”
Suddenly, Lane’s gaze turned to the only door in this room.
Soon the only door slowly opened, revealing a boy with a familiar face.
Lane, who had been staring blankly at such a boy without agitation, slowly stood up from his seat.
As he sat on the bed in the room, he looked at the boy and said.
“What’s going on? Irregular.”
A dry voice and expression without any emotion.
As of now, Lane, who had lost all his feelings about him, only looked at Ha-jun with a face that seemed to have lost interest. Ha-jun took a step forward and approached her.
Hajun also just looked at her with a calm expression and opened his mouth.
“If there is nothing to do, help me.”
