The Academy’s Time Stop Player

“The children are gone.”

The Academy’s Principal’s Office.

Choi Joong-won leaned back and looked at the night sky through the window.

“It’s sad. The fact that adults in a position to protect children have to sacrifice children incompetently… … .”

“… … That’s it.”

Liella, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded her head.

He was drinking tea and looking at Choi Joong-won’s back.

Riella seemed to know what Choi Joong-won was thinking.

“The guy wasn’t there.”

“… … Are you talking about Hajun cadet?”

“okay. Let me ask you again. Do you still think that child will replace you in the future?”

Choi Joong-won remained silent instead of answering.

Riella, who quietly looked at Choi Joong-won’s back, opened her mouth.

“I don’t think so.”

“her… … Why?”

“The child will not be able to bear the responsibility of good faith.”

Saving someone is a responsibility, not a choice.

The more he saves people as a hero, the more people will depend on him.

But the child will be crushed by their faith.

won’t be able to afford it

It was the child’s nature.

He had power, but he wanted to live a normal life.

“I guess that’s why he hides his power. You probably already know, Choi Joong-won. There is no way that you cannot recognize the nature of the child.”

lazy and bothered by anything

Looking at the cases that the child has resolved so far, I have only been involved.

The child will not move unless he is harmed.

“… … That’s right, you think so.”

And Choi Joong-won simply nodded.

Then he turned and looked at Liella.

“you… … .”

And Choi Joong-won was smiling.

Seeing that, Riella narrowed her brow and began to stare at Choi Joong-won.

“… … Liella.”

Choi Joong-won still smiled and called Riella.

“Aren’t you going to bet this time too?”

“Who’s bet again?”

“A bet on whether the kid will move.”

“Oh my gosh, I’m tired. Have you seen his future again?”

At her words, Choi Joong-won slowly shook his head.

“just… … To test my fate.”

“Your fate?”

“Yes. It’s just that if the boy doesn’t move, what you say is wrong, right? How is it?”

“… … What are the conditions?”

Choi Joong-won came closer and whispered quietly, faintly enough that only her could hear it.

As soon as she heard those words, Riella’s eyes widened and she began to stare at Choi Joong-won fiercely.

“This squirrel… … .”

The time is late at 12 noon.

Ha-jun stopped time and sneaked out and arrived at the scene where the dimensional dungeon occurred.

And I stopped in front of the police line and watched the scene.

‘I wish other children would come too… … .’

The association did not dare to contact Liam and Anna.

At first glance, she is one of the few American myth-level Noble Phantasm users and a British princess.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Naturally, even if the children consented to the cooperation, it was clear that the American and British royal families would object.

And Harna Ruel couldn’t contact him.

Of course, considering her circumstances, I understand.

‘Well, I guess that’s enough.’

Si-young Han, Joo-hee Lee, and Seol-ah Yoo.

Other than that, the 2nd year senior and the second-year senior and the 3rd-year deputy, respectively.

All the leaders of the cadets of the Korean Academy gathered.

At least I didn’t think they would fail.

“But what does he do?”

from readwn.com

My eyes turned to Yoo Seol-ah.

Seol-ah Yoo was texting someone with a gloomy face for some reason.

– Wei Ying

At that moment, Ha-Jun’s phone rang a beep.

Ha-jun took out his phone and checked the text.

As I looked at the text, I smiled.

[Are you really not coming? I applied knowing that Ha-jun was coming. I’m afraid I’m going to die.]

was a child

He was acting unpredictably.

Ha-jun sent a text message as it was.

[uh. I’m not going.]

[I think it will be reassuring if Ha-jun comes… … .]

[Stay next to Han Si-young. Then there will be no death.]

[If it is still dangerous, please come. You know?]

[I’ll think about it.]

Hajun smiled and put the phone in.

And maybe 10 minutes have passed?

After all preparations were completed, the children finally began to enter the dungeon.

As the children walked proudly towards the entrance of the dungeon, a great commotion arose around them.

Some shouted to cheer for the children, some put their hands together in prayer, and reporters from the press burst the shutters.

And Ha-jun stared blankly at the scene,

“Now go.”

I turned around and triggered a time stop.

Ha-jun returned to the academy’s dormitory and lay down on the bed.

Fortunately, despite the advanced future, there was no significant change.

So I closed my eyes, believing that the episode would flow.

and the next morning.

The time is when you are looking at 7 am.

“Ahhhh~”

Unexpectedly, I slept well and felt refreshed.

Hajun lightly stretched, turned on his smartphone, and checked the article.

But… … Contrary to Hajun’s expectations, the article he wanted did not appear.

“… … Is this time to come out?”

what?

Anxiety began to rise.

Ha-jun roughly put on a hoodie and pants, stopped time, and arrived at the scene where the dungeon occurred.

And the sight he faced was horrific.

“Uh-huh! Jun-ah Lee!!”

“Gosh! Han Yoon-ah… … ! Han Yoon-ah!”

Many people across the police line were weeping in sorrow.

These were all family members or friends and lovers of those who were trapped in the dungeon.

Soon after, I saw a middle-aged man kneeling helplessly in front of the dungeon gate and staring blankly at the dungeon with tears in his eyes.

It was obviously Kim Jung-yong, the president of the Hero Association.

He just stared blankly at the gate entrance with eyes that seemed to have lost everything, calling out the names of his sons and granddaughters.

“Jungwoon… … Minji… … .”

They were all looking at the gate with a miserable heart.

And the gate that Ha-jun could see was blocked by a huge iron plate.

Yes.

The entrance to the dimensional dungeon was blocked.

“… … what?”

For a moment, my head felt dizzy.

His head was pounding as if he had been hit with a blunt weapon.

That was then.

“Oh, no!”

A girl crossed the police line and ran towards the dungeon gate.

All of the association’s agents stopped the girl, but the girl eventually collapsed to the floor, crying helplessly.

“Black! Whoa!! sister!!”

It was a girl Ha-jun knew well.

Lee Joo-ah.

In front of the dungeon, she began to cry endlessly in tears.

Ha-jun looked at her blankly and took out his phone.

After searching for articles, I was able to find one article that stood out.

[Dimensional dungeon 1st rescue team failed. Kim Jung-yong, president of the Heroes Association. To prevent the dungeon break, we decided to block the dungeon… … .]

The time is 7 am.

And 7 hours have passed since the first attack team entered the dungeon.

They haven’t come back yet.

“under… … .”

from readwn.com

Many complicated thoughts ran through Ha-jun’s head.

If you go over there, how many months will it take this time?

at least three months? four months?

Anyway, considering the structure of the dungeon, it will take a lot of time.

‘That’s why I didn’t want to go in… … .’

Of course, that is also a problem, but how do we get into it?

It is an iron gate made to block the dungeon break.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Naturally, it must have been a magical facility that could not be destroyed by simple force.

I didn’t want to go through a lot of trouble just to break it.

Of course, it was impossible to let the protagonist lose like this.

‘driving me crazy… … .’

My head began to throb with irritability and complexity.

What was the problem? when you are thinking

Thing-

[Sub Quest]

Questable Character: Ha-Jun Kim (Liver Lafilton, Phil Erman)

Description: Attack the dimensional dungeon.

Reward: 1,000P

Suddenly a notification popped up.

The moment I saw that notification window.

“This mechanical piece… … .”

It felt as if the string of reason that was holding on to it had been cut and broken.

Veins appeared on his forehead, and his face began to contort wildly.

Still, I feel like an X, and it’s not like I’m joking. I don’t know why the episode didn’t flow, but at least the system’s craftsmanship was clear.

Ha-jun gritted his teeth, put on a hoodie hat, and pulled out Maharaj.

And passed the police line as it was and approached the dungeon gate.

“there! You must not go over it!”

“Stop!”

“Come on, wait?!”

When some of the association’s agents ran and tried to stop the boy, when they saw something, they stood up and started to panic.

The boy is holding a hammer.

Because they all noticed the hammer’s identity.

“Stand, please!”

“In the video… … ?”

It was only for a moment that the commotion broke out.

The gazes of everyone around them and the cameras of reporters, who were engulfed in sorrow, began to turn towards Ha-jun.

To be precise, he focused on the hammer Hajun was holding.

“No, hammer! That golden hammer!”

“Wow, the hammer from the video!”

The boy in the video is considered one of the urban legends.

In the video, the owner of the hammer ‘Irregular’ appeared at the scene.

A moment of surprise in everyone’s eyes.

The boy approached Kim Jung-yong, the president of the association, who sat down in front of the gate.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Kim Jung-yong slowly raised his head at the sound of someone approaching and looked up at the boy.

Soon after, Kim Jung-yong began to look at the boy with an astonished expression on his face.

“Come on, you?!”

“Open the entrance.”

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Kim Jung-yong looked at the boy in disbelief at the boy’s calm words.

Soon after, Kim Jung-yong’s eyes began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

golden hammer.

As soon as he saw it, Kim Jung-yong’s eyes began to appear.

Ha-jun calmly warned Kim Jung-yong.

“Before you break the iron gate.”

* * *

Inside the dimensional dungeon, in its depths.

“What kind of dungeons are there!”

Second-year senior Kim Young-jun was expressing his anger at the troublesome situation.

In conclusion, the rescue team’s rescue of citizens was successful.

Of course, since the dungeon grade was low, the only monsters that appeared were low-grade monsters.

Therefore, the safety of citizens can be guaranteed.

Among the citizens trapped in the dungeon, there were a few superhumans who had awakened.

“under… … Somewhere else… … .”

The problem was that the structure of the dungeon was a maze.

They succeeded in rescue, but there was no way to find the way to eat.

Obviously, before entering, he left traces to return immediately, but the traces had disappeared like a ghost.

“under… … Still, I’m glad to have you and seniors.”

Young-jun turned his head and looked at Han Si-young, Lee Joo-hee, and Yoo Seol-ah.

To be honest, the physical strength of the first attack team was reaching its limit.

Even in a dungeon where only low-level beasts appeared, the body was bound to be exhausted after a long 7-hour battle.

Without these children, annihilation would have been only a matter of time.

Of course, things haven’t gotten any better.

– Cr… … .

-Keek!!

At that time, the demonic monsters were heard again.

When everyone was preparing for battle, Si-Young Han rushed in first and cut the heads of as many as 20 of them in an instant.

Wonderful swordsmanship.

It was so fast that my eyes couldn’t keep up with the movement.

Han Si-young, who had just been arrested as it was, only returned to the party.

“under… … I really lived thanks to you.”

“I’m glad to have Joohee and Siyoung… … .”

Seven hours have passed since the rescue team was trapped in the dungeon.

All the children of the rescue team were exhausted from the 7-hour battle.

Therefore, Si-young Han and Joo-hee Lee, who had enough stamina, were defeating almost all the monsters.

“If you are tired, rest. Do not take turns.”

“It’s still fine.”

Lee Joo-hee looked at Han Si-young like that and smiled.

It was difficult to grasp the path of the dungeon, so they did not know when they would get out, so they all had to preserve their stamina.

to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing and this belong to huehue

Knowing that, Si-Young Han deliberately ran first and defeated the monster by herself.

First of all, I was just grateful from the point of view of Lee Joo-hee, the team leader of the rescue team.

“Tell me if you are struggling. I’ll change you at any time.”

“All right.”

That was then.

thud! thud!

The ground began to shake violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

The sound of something huge approaching.

Lee Joo-hee noticed that he was not a low-level monster just by the sound of the earth.

That moment.

thud!

The last sound of his footsteps stopped, and when he arrived at close range.

-Kick- Keek… … .

A gigantic form appeared with the sound of a certain monster’s death.

A bull’s head and a huge body.

In his left hand was a gigantic ax that was twice the size of his body at first glance, and in his right hand was a drooping, bleeding low-level monster.

As it was, he began to look down at people arrogantly, biting on the lower level monster he was holding in his right hand.

“Hey, you monster!”

“Ahhhh!”

“Hey, are you a Minotaur?!”

Those who saw the appearance of the monster could not help but be astonished.

He was a famous monster that everyone knew without even having to open his mouth.

Intermediate level monster Minotaur.

Legendary monsters appearing in myths have appeared.

At least it wasn’t the guy who came out of the lower dungeon.

Pushy… … !

It was a Minotaur who looked down at people arrogantly and let out a harsh breath.

Soon boom! thud! The ground shook and began to approach people.

At that moment, Lee Joo-hee rushed in and cut the guy’s arm shallowly.

He succeeded in getting the guy’s attention with just that one blow.

She immediately turned her head and shouted to Young-Jun Kim, a senior second grader.

“Kim Young-jun! You lead the people and evacuate!”

“I’ll help too! senior!”

“no. You protect people.”

For a moment, Young-jun looked at Lee Joo-hee with swaying eyes.

Lee Joo-hee looked at Yeong-jun like that and gave instructions with a firm face.

“People’s evacuation comes first.”

As she said, evacuation was the first priority.

Right now, protecting citizens was more important than subjugating monsters.

“Follow me soon.”

Lee Joo-hee glared at the Minotaur and slammed the ground once more and ran.

Si-Young Han, who watched it, immediately believed in her and turned away, and Yeong-Jun also shouted to the people with a firm face.

“Hurry up! Follow me!”

With those words, they all followed Yeongjun and started running away from the Minotaur.

Lee Joo-hee was left alone soon after.

She closed her eyes and slowly activated her ability.

At that moment, the ambient temperature began to drop sharply below freezing.

Student President Lee Joo-hee’s ability was ‘Absolute Spirituality’.

The power to freeze everything except itself.

Therefore, it is an ability that cannot be used in front of people.

But now it is different.

There was no one around to protect.

soon after

– Whoops!

The boy’s body began to slow down.

I struggled to get out of this space of absolute zero, but the more I moved my body, the more my legs and arms hardened, and finally they broke with a crunching sound.

thud!!

-Push… … .

The harsh breathing he had heard before slowly faded away, and then he stopped breathing.

The boy, with his eyes open, just froze and died.

After confirming that the guy was dead, Lee Joo-hee put the sword in it.

That was then.

thud! thud! A sound that shakes the earth.

Lee Joo-hee turned around and looked at the scene that was happening now and seriously narrowed her eyes.

This was because five Minotaurs appeared through the walls of the maze.

“This… … .”
