The Academy’s Time Stop Player - The Academy’s Time Stop Player chapter 178
The age of war called great chaos in the past.
The era at that time was literally apocalypse.
100 years ago, along with the energy of magic that suddenly appeared, a dimensional dungeon was created, and monsters and monsters were born.
At that time, monsters and demons were monsters with supernatural powers that could not be killed with firearms, and it was natural that civilization was rapidly collapsing.
During that era, there were several villages built by people who fled from monsters and monsters.
I wondered if this village might have been such a village in the past.
After the era of great chaos, civilization developed again and peace came, but there were people who did not leave and settled down in the village, staying here for a long time.
‘It was here… … .’
Ha-Jun knew the episode of Han Si-Young and the final ending.
You are probably the one who knows the situation best.
However, no matter how much Ha-jun was, he did not know about Si-young Han’s past, literally the distant past.
I’ve never seen it in game either.More novels at noblemtl.net
Just one thing.
In a situation where it is certain that the ending has been reversed to Ha-jun’s unknown ending, what we can know is that this is where Han Si-young’s last episode begins.
● Siyoung Han (62%)
Since a while ago, the progress rate of Han Si-young’s episodes was slowly rising.
First of all, that’s it.
“So, who is the Sword King?”
“… … .”
At those words, Han Si-young looked around for a moment.
First of all, the purpose itself was to find the Sword King.
Of course, Siyoung Han didn’t answer as if he was a bit embarrassed.
After looking around for a while, Siyoung Han looked at Hajun again and opened her mouth.
“I plan to wait here tonight.”
It was Ha-joon who looked at Han Si-young with an absurd face at those words.
“Let’s go homeless?”
“yes.”
It was Han Si-young who turned around with those words.
“I’ll get you something to eat.”
It was Han Si-young who quickly ran out through the bushes before Ha-jun could say anything.
Hajun, who had been staring blankly, sighed and went back to the campfire.
As I was digging around the bonfire with a branch, I suddenly remembered something, so I talked to Pilaten.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you say that you can feel the aura of the king of humans here?”
-That’s right.
At those words, Hajun slowly stood up from his seat.
Anyway, I decided to look around for a while as there was time until he hunted the demons and got something to eat.
“Guide me.”
-At the center of the pit, I can feel the aura of the King of Men, albeit faintly. I’d like you to take a look there.
“center?”
At that, Hajun looked at the center with a calm face and approached it.
On the way to the center, an idea occurred to me.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
It was Hajun who remembered what the Sword King had said a few days ago.
-I’ve been looking for him all along.
Even Hajun didn’t know, but the Sword King had been looking for traces of the human king for a long time.
-I owed him a debt a long time ago.
I don’t know what the debt was, but I thought it had something to do with this place.
Hajun walked like that, arrived at the center, and looked around.
There was nothing special.
Well, all I could see was the land covered with thick grass.
After looking around for a while, Pilaten opened his mouth.
-I can feel the magic of the human king, albeit faintly, but that seems to be the only thing.
“Isn’t there anything very strange about it?”
-Yes, but one thing. I can feel the aura of great magic here.
“Great magic?”
At those words, Hajun’s brow narrowed.
Philaten continued.
-Yes, perhaps the king of humans used great magic here in the past, and after a long time, only his magic power seems to have remained faint.

It was Ha-jun who returned to the bonfire because Han Si-young, who had returned before he knew it, was dismantling the demon he had just caught.
Han Si-young, who may be familiar with dismantling the beast, skillfully dismantled the beast, cut only the parts to eat, and started roasting them over a bonfire.
What followed was static.
There was an awkward silence, filled with bugs and the chirping of owls in the trees.
Han Si-young wasn’t particularly talkative, and Ha-joon didn’t have anything to say first.
And in the midst of this silence, Han Si-yeong unexpectedly opened her mouth first.
“When did you meet Master?”
Even if you ask a question, you are asking a question that is awkward to answer.
Didn’t it just pass?
However, Hajun was not too brazen.
“When you come to my inn.”
At those words, Siyoung Han’s eyes widened.
Then, with an absurd expression, he began to open his mouth.
Even if he tried to keep his poker face, he couldn’t help but be surprised by my answer.
Lastly, it was Han Si-young who looked at Ha-joon with a disapproving face.
Ha-joon replied to Han Si-young.
“Don’t say anything to me. Because he asked me to hide it.”
“under… … , I guess.”
Siyoung Han once again started grilling the meat with a calm face.
Ha-joon asked a question to Han Si-yeong.
“Do you know why the Sword King won’t meet you?”
“yes.”
At that, Han Si-young nodded confidently and replied.
Han Si-young opened her mouth with a calm expression.
“Perhaps it is because I am lacking… … .”
I’m holding weight with a bitter face and saying it, but it’s not at all.
The reason why the Sword King sent this guy to society and didn’t want to meet him was simply to help him adapt to society.
This part was expected by Ha-Jun, but maybe he wanted to fix his calm tone that was not suitable for his age?
Hajun hid those thoughts inside and opened his mouth.
“So how long will you be here?”
“… … .”
“I’m not even sure that the Sword King is here.”
At those words, Han Si-yeong thought for a moment.
However, it was wrong to ask.
“I intend to stay here until I find it.”
As you can see, this guy seems to wait for the sword king to appear with his personality intact.
I don’t know, but do you have any strong convictions?
However, Hajun was not sure, but there was something he could guess.
Seeing that this episode’s progress rate went up the moment they arrived here, it seemed that the Sword King was somewhere here.
Of course that’s it.
“So what about me?”
I asked Siyoung Han if I should continue to wait here.
It was with an expression that he didn’t want to wait.
Han Si-young answered such a question.
“It doesn’t matter if you go first. But I intend to wait here.”
“Oh, is that so?”
At those words, Ha Joon nodded.
Well, I guess that’s what I meant by being considerate to some extent.
Of course, because of Ha-joon’s inner circumstances, he wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep, but as long as Han Si-young’s progress rate went up, he couldn’t just leave it alone.
Hajun thought and found a compromise that he decided alone.
‘Let’s wait until tomorrow morning before going.’
I was going to stay with this guy until tomorrow morning and then go back to sleep in bed and come back.
Well, what could possibly happen in the meantime?
Even if it happened, it would be enough to stop time and come back.

Early in the morning, Ha-joon returned home leaving Si-young Han there.
I just dragged my tired body over to the bed and took a nap.
a few hours later
“brother.”
“… … yes?”
“Brother wake up. A guest has arrived.”
At Elaine’s words, Hajun rubbed his eyes and stood up.
I asked Elaine without opening my eyes.
“customer? who?”
“I heard you came from the Hero Association of America? I’m waiting for you on the first floor.”
“It sucks-”
Hajun licked his lips in dissatisfaction.
It would have been nice if it came on a weekday rather than a weekend.
“I’ll go down.”
“Yes, get ready and come out.”
At that, Hajun washed his face in the bedroom bathroom and went down to the first floor.
When I went down to the first floor, I saw a woman with a familiar face smiling at Hajun.
It was Emma, a scout for the American Hero Association.
She stood up and opened her mouth.
“It’s been a while, Irregular.”
“Yes, I will. But what are you doing?”
“I’m sorry for coming to you rudely without contacting you. I came because I have information that I need to tell you urgently.”
Hearing that, Ha-jun sat across from her with a puzzled expression on his face.
Hajun looked at her and asked.
“What information?”
“The information I will tell you from now on is confidential.”
She continued with a serious expression.
“Rain has escaped.”
“… … ?”
At those words, Hajun looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Hajun looked at her and asked.
“when?”
“I escaped from prison exactly the night before.”
“What, do you want me to hold you again?”
It was Emma who shook her head at those words.
Emma opened her mouth, taking out some data from the black leather bag she had been carrying.
“This is the scene after Lane escaped from prison. There is something suspicious about it.”
It was Emma showing a picture of the scene at the time.
However, looking at the scene of the incident, it seems that the escape was not so loud.
It seems that he escaped by flying through the sky through a hole in the ceiling of a prison made of iron and steel.
“Our association was also aware that it would be unreasonable to completely imprison her. But there’s something suspicious about her prison break. Could you please take a look at this video here?”
With those words, it was Emma who took out her phone and showed some kind of video.
In the video, Lane was shown sitting on a bed and quietly reading a book.
“This is the video from the previous night, exactly a few minutes before Lane escaped.”
At that, Hajun carefully examined the video.
The image of Rain in the video wasn’t much different from what he had seen before.
He seems to be enjoying a quiet reading.
But that’s for a while.
Lane, who had been enjoying reading with a calm face, suddenly lifted her head and in an instant began to harden into a serious expression.
She jumped up from the bed, looked around, and started grinding her teeth and clicking her tongue.
Soon, the video stopped as she melted her body and escaped through the ceiling as it was.
The video ended with that.
And I could see why Emma was suspicious of Lane’s breakout.
Hajun looked at Emma and continued.
“It looks like you are being chased by something?”
This was Hajun’s impression after watching the video.
Before she escaped, she looked as if she saw something and ran away.
Emma continued, as if agreeing.
“I’m not sure, but our association judges that way too. Still, I decided that I should inform the irregulars in advance in case of an unexpected situation. You know, Lane, she might hold a grudge against you.”
The last time Ha-Jun met and broke up with Rain, there was no sign of that, but the Association, which doesn’t know the exact situation, might think so.
Of course, Hajun wasn’t too worried, but he nodded at Emma’s words.
“I will contact you if I ever find Lane’s whereabouts. Well then, I have work to do.”
With those words, Emma rose from her seat.
Ha-joon followed her to the front door to see her off.
When I opened the front door like that and came out.
“… … ?”
Emma’s expression turned to bewilderment.
I was simply surprised to see the gate opened in front of Hajun’s house.
Hajun looked at the open gate in front of the front door and opened his mouth.
“Aren’t you going?”
“that… … , is not the gate of our association. Was anyone planning to visit today?”
“no.”
With that answer, Hajun looked at the gate with a puzzled gaze and Emma with a puzzled look.
If that’s not the gate of the Hero Association of America, who’s gate is it?
When Ha-joon looked at the gate with puzzled eyes.
– Captain, are you really okay?
– Yes, it’s okay.
-under… … , I don’t know if this is correct.
-The captain said it was okay, so I opened it for now.
-Rain, try this too.
A familiar voice came from beyond the gate.
Soon, the five people who passed through the gate were all faces that Hajun knew.
Hakuse, Mila, Hals, Ellie.
And it was Rain who escaped this time.
stop-
Rain mumbled a hot dog in his hand, saw Ha-joon in front of him, and stopped with his eyes wide open.
So did the other four.
Following Lane, he stopped and looked at Ha-joon with wide open eyes.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Hajun looked at them with absurd eyes and a moment of silence began to flow in this absurd situation.
When Ha-joon was so dumbfounded that he was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Emma pulled a pistol out of her pocket and shouted at Lane.
“Stay still!”
