After several minutes, Seok sensed the presence of several people 3 kilometers away. He stopped the healing process, which was revealing his location due to a concentration of natural energy at a single point.
This was enough to expose his location to those of higher power.
Seok spoke calmly, looking at Suho, who was eating the food he had brought from his own dimensional space. "There are people 3 kilometers away. They are looking for me."
Suho returned the food to his dimensional space, his face hardening. He was used to this; several groups were searching for them because of Seok's abilities.
These abilities were a treasure for the followers of the Vrsalkin Academy, the professors' students, and a danger that had to be eliminated by the followers of the Scorpion Organization.
Seok and Suho, who had worked as a perfect duo due to fighting each other for six years, were a thorn in the side of the organization's followers and some students who felt jealous of them.
Seok By splitting the vault in half before shrinking it, they formed a shield around their bodies, facilitating movement and making them suitable for combat. They were completely invisible because their auras didn't emit, and their detection was virtually impossible.
Seok and Sooho roamed the area, trying to locate their enemy. They could help them after discerning their intentions—good or bad—and kill them if they were part of an organization of equal or lesser strength. If they were two ranks higher than them, they could escape.
Being invisible allowed them to exploit their enemy's reduced defenses, enabling them to kill even those two or three ranks higher than them.
While they were searching, they encountered Grey, Roichi, and Lucy.
They were searching for them, which shocked them.
Seok and Sooho communicated telepathically, their hearts and minds reeling with shock.
"It's Grey de Molière, Roichi de Molière, and Lucy Kathalie." "The sons are the Grand Duchys of Molyar and Kethali."
"What do they want from you, Seok? Is it because they know about the unique power of your domes?"
"Of course. Why else would they come looking for me? You read stories about heroes; they're too imaginative. We're in reality. They're coming to exploit me and then discard me. My life or death is of no consequence to them." Seok spoke with obvious annoyance. The disrespect and marginalization he'd endured for the past five months, followed by the sudden respect due to their power, filled him with disgust towards those of high standing.
People search for trees in the heat but cut them down the rest of the year.
People look down on him because he has no dignity and works for others, and they might pay him or take what's rightfully his, but they rush to him when they need to build a house for themselves.
That's how humans are; they only love each other when they're useful and hate each other when they're no longer useful. That's why Seok, deep down, rejected the idea of helping them.
They only see him. As a tool that can be discarded or used and then ignored.
Seok removed the invisibility dome from them, appearing beside Gray, who took several steps back in shock. He hadn't expected Seok to appear out of nowhere like that. Then, Suho appeared right next to him.
Ruichi, Lucy, and Gray's gazes were fixed on Seok and Suho, who seemed perfectly formed, the healing magic still leaving its mark on them.
Ruichi spoke inwardly with admiration as he looked at Seok and Suho, "Jian Yi was right. Seok possesses an unparalleled ability to create domes."
His expression changed, his tone becoming puzzled. "Why did the Verselkin Academy ignore him, even though it operates on an unspoken class system? The world knew about it."
"Ahhh, the world is so unfair. If you're born a commoner, you'll remain a commoner, and if you're born a noble, you'll die like that."
"Even the powerful commoners lived simple lives in Most of the time, those who reached positions of power were simply those with connections to higher authorities.
A sigh escaped the lips of both Grie, Ruichi, and Lucy automatically, as they were thinking the same thing: a unique talent destined to rust and disappear.
"I know you're upset, Mr. Seok, about the academy's neglect of you. Listen carefully to what I have to say. I know you don't trust me. Your life or death is unimportant from the perspective of those in higher positions."
"But if you survive and help us through this crisis, I swear to you that if you remain alive after this, the De Molière family will support your family and fulfill any request, even if it's to resurrect the dead. The De Molière family's sorcerers are the best, capable of reviving someone who died even 10 years ago."
Seok's gaze was calm, or so he thought, as he listened to Ruichi's words. He found no way out. Should he trust him, or was he a witness to his words, and therefore unable to go back on his word?
However, there were downsides. Ruichi was capable Forced into silence by any means necessary, the de Molière family was one of the most powerful families in the human world, and he was merely a scientist whose death would require nothing more than a sneeze from the head of the Reinhardt family.
He could claim he hadn't sworn an oath, and the world would remain silent. Who, after all, would dare jeopardize their relationship with the heir to the duchy of de Molière for the sake of a mere commoner with no influence or worth?
Seok knew these things all too well; he had lived them his entire life. Being a commoner meant many hardships and disadvantages.
One day's meal could mean being alone for a week.
This was how Seok and Suho's lives unfolded until they arrived at the Versleken Academy, where fresh, hot food and drink, warm clothing, and comfortable accommodations awaited.
Life was beautiful and comfortable, but short-lived. In three years, he would return to his pitiful existence if he didn't find a solution.
Should he trust Roichi and fight for his life, his future, and the future of his family, or reject his offer and make an enemy of one of the most powerful families in Central Continent?
It was These thoughts raced through Seok's mind like a broken record.
Seok took a deep breath before saying anything. "Fine, I agree, but I'm not obligated to fight in the first ranks. Furthermore, you must guarantee my safety and Suho's. That's one of my conditions for joining you."
Before Roichi could say anything, Suho pulled them aside to talk amongst themselves about something he considered extremely important, especially after seeing Seok's unstable mental state.
Roichi and Lucy Gray both looked at each other with a mixture of astonishment at Suho's bravery.He looked at them, but with a serious expression, he decided to ignore the situation.
After they had moved a few meters away from Seok, a sigh filled with worry escaped Suho's lips. "I just want to say one thing, and that's that we shouldn't let Seok get into a mess as much as possible."
"I know you're surprised by what I'm saying, but Seok's true strength is..."
After several minutes of their conversation, Ruichi, Lucy, and Gray, both visibly shocked, and Suho returned to Seok, who seemed confused by Suho's strange behavior.
Ruichi broke the silence, extending his hand to shake Seok's. "So, are we agreed, Mr. Seok?"
Seok shook Ruichi's hand in return. "Yes, we're agreed."
A faint smile appeared on Suho's face as he watched what was happening, trying to hide his unease. He knew Seok well.
And how powerful he was, he was nervous that something might happen that would make him lose control and destroy anything in his path. His Way
All eyes narrowed as they sensed a powerful energy emanating from the eastern direction of the island, belonging to the followers of the Scorpion Organization.
"We need to reach the meeting place quickly. It seems Tom, Gian, Yi, and Patrice have completed the remaining parts of the plan," Lucy said, looking towards the eastern side of Jeju Island.
Her gaze shifted back to the others, whose stares were sharp, their auras glowing with different colors, filled with disgust and contempt—the members of the Scorpion Organization.
The fact that they had been attacked without warning, and that the Scorpion Organization members wanted to kill them simply to reveal themselves to the world, was unacceptable to them. Their lives were something they could not compromise on to gain recognition from the world.
Grey, Ruichi, Lucy, Seok, and Suho headed towards the agreed-upon meeting place.
During the short time it took them to reach the meeting place, Grey, Ruichi, and Lucy's gazes were fixed on Seok.
After learning the truth about Seok's power, they were shocked. The fact that a monster lurked in the shadows, rusting with time, was a source of great annoyance to them.
At the same time, it wasn't out of love for Seok's power in the royal world. Every individual was considered by the authorities to be a golden and platinum giant filling the coffers, or a fighter elevating the empire's status.
After several minutes, they arrived at a meeting point filled with students from various classes—ordinary, elite, and legendary—and the professors in charge of them.
The professors and students were in a hopeless state, unfit for combat. Their wounds ranged from deep to superficial, and they were exhausted, with critically low energy levels.
Looking at them, one thing was clear: they were completely unfit for any battle.
Seok and Suho's gazes were fixed on the students and professors, who were resting while treating their injuries with their meager remaining resources. They had exhausted all their resources in the preceding days and during the organized battles against the followers.
Therefore, all they had left were extremely rudimentary first-aid supplies, devoid of... Any healing energy of any kind is usually used by humans who haven't been able to break through to become able to use their power internally.
Life was harsh; what you mocked one day you would be forced to use the next. This produced a suffocating bitterness in everyone's throats.
Yet they didn't complain. For now, complaining and asking for healing resources was impossible; everyone was thinking only of themselves.
Grey, Ruichi, Lucy, Seok, and Suho headed to where the rest of their group were, ignoring the students and professors lying here and there.
In a medium-sized house, Jian Yi, Tom, Beatrice, Previca, and four senior professors of the Sacred Ruler rank were supervising an operation.
Their condition was relatively good; their main task was supervising the professors, monitoring them, and creating waves of monsters, which was difficult for the professors.
They were looking calmly towards the plan of the three followers on Jeju Island, trying to find any idea to stop the enemy coming with the enemies. Terrible
Their gazes turned towards Grey Ruichi, Lucy Seok, and Sooho, who had entered the command center temporarily until the crisis was over.
Meanwhile, Seok and Sooho scanned the area, noticing that all the new students who had received perfect scores were absent:
Gowther McAteer, the son of Duke Yukimarus McAteer; Giba Guilford, daughter of the Magic Emperor Aster Guilford; and the strongest student in the elite class, Yuta Cassiral.
They were all missing during a crisis of this magnitude. Jeju Island was in chaos, and they were gone when they needed any support.
A deep sigh escaped their lips as they looked at the charged atmosphere. The presence of such figures—sons of major dukes, heirs to a sect considered the third strongest in the world, and four elite professors at the Vrselkin Academy—was suffocating.
It was so oppressive that their mouths couldn't open to utter a single word.
A smile appeared. Relief washed over the faces of Beatrice, Tom, Jean, Yi, and Previca as they looked at Seok, who was still alive.
His presence solved many problems: treatment, defense, setting traps and obstacles for enemies—everything became easier with him around.
In contrast, the professors looked on in astonishment at the scene before them. The children of great figures were waiting impatiently for a commoner child; it was something they had never seen before.
"Thank you for coming, Mr. Seok. We have been waiting impatiently for you, Mr. Leo, Mrs. Callista, Mr. Julian, and Mrs. Vanessa. This is the person we have been waiting for," Lucy said calmly as Seok gestured toward the supervising professors.
Vanessa, Callista, Julian, and Leo all looked toward Seok, who seemed somewhat nervous.
Their gazes held a mixture of interest and curiosity. Professor Leo, in his most reserved tone, said, "Ms. Lucy, with all due respect, what will Mr. Seok do for us? I haven't heard of him." "This academy is a joke!"
Signs of annoyance and anger appeared on Seok's face as he listened to Leo's words, which seemed insulting and a blow to his pride.
However, he didn't say anything, as words wouldn't change anything, especially since he was working in the back rows.
This meant that Leo's words seemed to detract from his own, so he headed out of the command center again with a calm expression.
The professors looked at Seok as he left with some slight annoyance, considering it disrespectful.
The other two followed him without...Saying anything was pointless, as their gazes held a hint of curiosity, which surprised the professors in charge.
They followed them without saying a word. After leaving the command center, their eyes turned to Seok, who was standing in the middle of a crowd of students and professors who were looking at him with surprise.
"Who is this person, and what is he doing here?"
"I don't know who he is, but he seems confident in what he wants to do. He was with Gry, Roici de Molière, and Lucy Kethali."
"Isn't that Seok's student? He looks fine."
"What the hell does he want to do?"
"Ugh, just get out of my sight! I'm tired and exhausted. His presence really irritates me."
...........
...…........…
…...….....
......…
Whispers spread among the students as they looked at Seok, on whose palm a dome the size of a hand was forming. He snapped his fingers, and it began to expand rapidly, covering the entire camp. Completely within seconds.
Shock was evident on the faces of the students and professors as they felt the healing energy repair their injuries and their energy levels return to normal.
It was an incredibly wonderful feeling, as if they were floating on air. Their wounds were healing rapidly, and their strength was being regained.
Then the other Maratas began to murmur like the ebb and flow of the tide, filled with great enthusiasm and an astonishing freshness that made them wish they could stay in this state forever.
"Wow, it's a wonderful feeling. Thank you, sir, whatever your name is."
"I feel my wounds healing quickly, and my strength is returning to its former glory."
"Who would have thought that after 11 days of toil and hardship, a day would come when those damned wounds would be healed?"
"He has terrifying power. Can domes like this be used? Seok is truly terrifyingly powerful."
"The Vrsalkin Academy has a student with such skill. She possesses an unpolished gem. Where has she been all these past months?"
Meanwhile, Leo, Vanessa, Callista, and Julian spoke in shock as they watched what was happening.
"It's absolutely astonishing. An unknown student possesses this ability."
"It seems he has many winning cards up his sleeve. It's impossible that his domes only use healing."
"Was he All of this hides abilities. It seems that the Verselkin Academy needs to focus on students from all social classes.
"Ali spoke with the Director of the Verselkin Academy, Soliver, and his deputy, Carter, to change and improve the situation within the Verselkin Academy."
Whispers intensified within the camp regarding a treatment, and this made both Seok and Baqi feel relieved that the plan was proceeding as they wanted.
But the happy atmosphere completely disappeared as they felt an overwhelming aura suddenly spreading from the central eastern part of Jeju Island.
They spoke in voices filled with tension and awe, "Commander of Council No. 5 has arrived."
In the central eastern part of Jeju Island, there was an army of 700 fighters under the command of Shadow Scorpion and Noor, who wore a white mask with black scorpion pincers and the number 5 in red.
It was an overwhelming aura that could be felt throughout Jeju Island, instilling fear and dread in the hearts of all their enemies.
He spoke with deadly coldness as he pointed his hand towards "Support your comrades and kill anyone except those whom the Heaven-Breaker has forbidden to be killed."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be dire. Death will be a mercy. My words are clear."
The followers of the organization spoke in unison, their voices raised in fear and dread, "Yes, Commander!"
The organization's soldiers moved swiftly across Jeju Island, their murderous intent and auras radiating from their bodies.
The war was nearing its end, with one side poised for victory. Reinforcements from the Academy were advancing from the west of Jeju Island under the command of the Grand Master of the Duchy of De Molière, Reinhardt, the strongest human.
On Jeju Island itself, students were preparing for the final showdown against the Scorpion Organization, a confrontation that would determine victory or defeat.
In either case, the world would witness it.
