Episode 35 Preparation(2)
5.
Hwang Da-bin followed Lee Si-woo along with Selina.
‘Is meeting your parents really true?’
Hwang Da-bin looked at Lee Si-woo.
1st place in midterm exam.
It was a truly unbelievable score. Grade F, the lowest grade in grading, ranks first in the midterm exam.
It was amazing.
Lee Si-woo, whom Hwang Da-bin experienced, was a student who was different from other children.
‘And Lee Si-woo… Yesterday, I definitely faced Fenrir alone… … .’
No one paid attention to Lee Si-woo because of Ji Tae-hoon, who blocked the huge explosion, but Hwang Da-bin saw clearly.
After the Hwaryeong fired by Selina disappeared, Fenrir disappeared without a trace.
So, when he said he was going out for a night out, I followed him out.
Of course, this was not the only reason.
Although it was only for one day, I wanted to take this opportunity to take a break since there weren’t many opportunities to go outside of Gakseong High School on weekdays.
Dabin Hwang looked at Selina who was walking next to him.
He said it was for this reason, but he had no idea why Selina used the sleepover ticket.
As we were about to go out of Awakening High School, Lee Si-woo stopped, turned to look at us, and asked.
“Why are you following me instead of receiving points and a coupon for a sleepover?”
***
‘good. They both followed.’
I wanted to laugh at the situation that was going according to my intention, but I knew that if I did that here, those two people would look at me strangely, so I held back and pretended not to notice.
“Why are you following me instead of receiving points and a coupon for a sleepover?”
“Aren’t you following me?”
“huh?”
“You are just walking in front of us, not following us.”
“Oh yeah? Is that really true?”
Selina avoided my eyes at my question.
How are you going to cheat the 3rd time?
“What are you going to do outside?”
“… … .”
Selina couldn’t answer my question.
“Well, didn’t you plan on meeting your parents? When are you coming?”
When Selina didn’t answer and was about to interrogate her, Hwang Da-bin asked me.
I answered shamelessly without changing my facial expression.
“Did you believe that? Of course you should say that to the teacher.”
I don’t know why, but their expressions seemed to harden at my answer.
Have you ever told lies like this during your school days?
Ah, these were my school days.
“Was it a lie?”
I answered Selina’s question.
“of course.”
“So, what are you going to do from now on?”
“I’m thinking of stopping by somewhere… … .”
“where?”
“Does it really matter where I go? “Where are you going?”
Neither Hwang Da-bin nor Selina could answer my question and hesitated.
As I continued to stare, Hwang Da-bin quickly made an excuse.
“Ah, I didn’t come out with any specific intention of going somewhere… … .”
In other words, there was nowhere to go. After hearing those words, I looked back at Selina.
“Actually, me too.”
I said with a grin.
“Then it’s true that you followed me.”
Then Hwang Da-bin shouted angrily.
“So where are you going?!”
I spoke meaningfully with a serious expression.
6.
My destination was one of the gates closed by the Seven Heroes.
It was known to the world that the gate was closed and discarded, but the reality was different.
There are still monsters there… . And there were items.
At first, I was thinking of going to a gate that I could clear on my own.
But my thoughts changed.
‘What if Selina and Dabin Hwang can go together?’
With these two, I felt like I could clear the gate even if I went to a slightly more difficult gate.
And I thought it would be a good idea to let these two experience the gate in advance, at least for the sake of later.
In conclusion, they both nodded when I asked them if they wanted to become stronger.
“Listen carefully, where we are going from now on must be kept a complete secret.”
Since we had been setting the tone earlier, the two nodded to what I said.

“But why are you offering us this?”
I answered Dabin Hwang’s question.
“Because I trust you two.”
Neither of them said anything to my answer.
He was just nodding his head with a solemn expression.
It was as if he would do anything to become stronger.
But after a while.
“But why are you suddenly hiking?!”
Complaints poured out.
“The destination I want to go to is on the mountain.”
“What on earth is on a mountain like this?”
Even as he said that, Hwang Da-bin gave us a vitality increase buff.
“You’ll find out when you get there.”
As I climbed the mountain, I made a plan on how I was going to explain this to these two.
Since I couldn’t tell the truth that I was possessed in a novel and lived it twice, I had to come up with a suitable excuse.
“It’s about here… … .”
I glanced around.
I heard information about this place directly from Mir Yun during the first session.
When he was in the 3rd grade, Yun Mir went out of school for a while to get some fresh air, so he went hiking.
Then, by chance, he found a closed gate, and Yunmir got an item from there.
“Ah, I found it.”
I saw a door cleverly hidden between the bushes.
“That… … .”
As I cleared away the brush, I saw a door big enough for one person to enter.
Dabin Hwang and Selina looked surprised when they saw the door.
“Lee Si-woo, where are you?”
I answered Selina’s question.
“The gate closed by the Seven Heroes.”
Hero fanatic Dabin Hwang’s eyebrows twitched at my answer.
“what? “Why is something like that on the mountain?”
“I plan to find out that from now on.”
“Are you sure you want to go in?”
“huh,”
Hwang Da-bin looked dumbfounded at my words.
“How are you going to get inside the closed gate?” … .”
I put my hand on the door after hearing Dabin Hwang’s words.
Then the gate began to respond.
Coogugung.
“Unbelievable… … .”
The door was opening.
***
“Wait, there’s something I want to ask you before we go in.”
In response to Selina’s question, I made an expression that told me to tell her.
I knew this situation would happen.
“How did you know about this place?”
“I saw it. “The gate’s energy is faintly leaking out.”
“… “I can’t see anything?”
In response to those words, I made a regular comment.
“I have good eyesight.”
The girls, who knew that my talent was amazing, looked somewhat convinced.
“Lee Si-woo, tell me honestly. “Isn’t that an F-level talent?”
I shrugged my shoulders at Hwang Da-bin’s words.
“well. “The verdict was grade F.”
When Hwang Da-bin fell silent in response, Selina asked.
“Yes, what I found is good. But are you trying to enter this gate thinking it’s some kind of gate? They say it’s a closed gate, but a gate is a gate. Dangerous.”
As expected, Selina made a cool-headed decision.
It was definitely stupid to go through the gate without knowing what level I was in.
If it was an S-class gate, no matter how closed the gate was, there could be a surviving S-class monster inside.
And the moment we met the S-class monster, we were all dead.
“Of course I looked into it. It’s a C-level gate. “The hero who closed this place is ‘the strongest.’”
“What? Choi Kang himself?”
“uh.”
This was certain because I heard it directly from him.
“Where is the information from?”
Oh, I didn’t think of this.
“Class C, I think that’s right.”
At that time, Hwang Da-bin looked at the open door and said.
“In the old days, the status window was used to determine the level of the gate. However, when the Seven Heroes closed the gate, the status window disappeared, and since it is dangerous to not know the gate’s level, the heroes decided to display the level each time they closed the gate.”
The mark remained on the door.
The letter C left behind by Choi Kang.
“If it’s C grade, it’s worth getting in. “When are we going to get through the gate?”
Dabin Hwang spoke to us with an enthusiastic expression, and Selina nodded at his words.
“good. “If even Dabin says that, I agree.”
I was sad to hear that they didn’t believe what I was saying, but I was relieved that I had gotten their consent.
“Then, let’s go in.”
The three of us entered the closed gate.
7.
gate.
It refers to a den of monsters that appeared as the world turned into an apocalypse.
A status window appeared, and as people became awakened, people began coming in and out of the gate to catch monsters.
At first, the main purpose was to eliminate monsters, but when people realized that the items and magic stones obtained from killing monsters could make a lot of money, they started going in and out of the gate with the main purpose of obtaining items and magic stones rather than eradicating monsters.
The number of people entering and exiting the gate for personal gain has increased.
The problem occurred when people who entered the gate to run the raid were unable to clear the gate.
Failure to clear the gate resulted in a monster wave in return, and one failure resulted in numerous casualties.
In order to prevent this situation, the Seven Heroes came together to close the gate.
The seven heroes who gathered their strength closed the gates around the world, and the world became peaceful.
And to the people of the world, the existence of gates and monsters was becoming a relic of an old era.
“For sure… “I heard there aren’t many monsters inside the closed gate?!”
Pow!
Hwang Da-bin shouted as he kicked the head of the charging goblin and exploded it.
Originally, theory and practice are different things.
The world had more hidden facts than known facts.
Even now, in places you can’t see, there were awakened people secretly catching monsters inside the closed gate.
“Hwaryeong.”
Grumbling.
The moment the goblins hesitated at the flames lighting up the cave, I burrowed into their gap.
Pababat!
Selina exclaimed in admiration as she watched me passing by, using the six-shot technique to strike the goblins’ entire bodies.
But soon he saw another group of goblins approaching and wrapped his fist around Hwaryeong.
“There are too many numbers.”
I agreed with Selina.
The number of monsters has definitely increased since the last time I visited this place.
“Where should I go?!”
As I moved forward while catching the goblins, I came to a fork in the road.
Hwang Da-bin’s shout strengthened my eyes.
Then the path to the boss room began to appear.
“It’s the left road.”
“okay!”
It was his first real battle, but Hwang Da-bin was flying around, probably because he had seen monsters worse than these guys yesterday.
Selina was also dealing with the goblins without much effort.
It was fortunate that teamwork was fostered.
When the three of us worked together, dealing with the monsters that appeared inside the gate was easier than expected.
I was also able to fight much more comfortably because I secretly used both of their talents.
‘As expected, it was a good thing I brought him here.’
So we were able to move forward quickly and reach the boss room.
The reason I was certain that this was the boss room was because a huge door appeared as if advertising that this was where the boss monster was.
“What kind of monster is the boss here?”
“Since there are a lot of goblins, wouldn’t there be someone like King Goblin?”
While I was preparing my battle lines in front of the boss room, I laughed to myself as I listened to the conversation between the two women.
I’m sorry, but the boss mob that appears here was not the vicious monster that Dabin Hwang and Selina thought.
“Is everyone ready?”
“huh.”
“Then let’s go in.”
Grumble.
As we heard the sound of the huge stone door opening, we entered through the open door.
-Quek!
There we were able to see a boss monster that was different from what we imagined.
