The Academy’s Time Stop Player

5 p.m. that day.

Ha-jun was getting ready to go out right away.

“Are you okay by yourself?”

“uh.”

“under… … , If I have time, I want to go with you, but I also have work to do. Once I’m done with work, I’ll go there. I told the driver separately, so he will take you to your destination.”

Hajun nodded at Anna’s words.

The place Ha-Jun wants to go to is the former Erman family mansion.

I couldn’t ask Elaine under the current circumstances, so I thought I’d go and investigate by myself.

“Then see you later.”

“okay.”

With those words, Ha-jun headed to the mansion in the driver’s car prepared by Anna.

And looking at the scenery from the window, Ha-jun fiddled with the Noble Phantasm in his hand.

[Sealed Aethergia]

Rating : ???

characteristic : ???

Explanation : ???

Sealed Aethergia.

Given the circumstances, it was clear that this was the Noble Phantasm of the family Elaine was talking about.

Hajun thought for a moment while fiddling with the Noble Phantasm.

Wouldn’t it be better to give this back to him?

At least from the reaction, this seems very precious… … .

profit-.

“Im here.”

When I was thinking like that, the car stopped at some point, signaling that the driver had arrived at the mansion.

Ha-jun nodded, got out of the car and told the driver.

“It might take a while, so go somewhere else and rest.”

“Yes, I will wait for you nearby. Please call me back when you are finished.”

Hajun nodded at that, and looked around.

Somehow, it was a road with no people around and there were many trees and forests, but the mansion we arrived at was in a remote place as expected.

Ha-jun turned his gaze to the mansion.

It was a much larger house than I expected.

The vines were intertwined between the old iron gates and there was a fountain in the center of the large garden.

The water in the fountain was dry, and the gardens were unorganized, so there were grasses covering the sidewalks.

I don’t know about the old days, but at least in Hajun’s eyes, it was a mansion where a ghost could live.

Moreover, the [No Entry] sign stood out even more on the iron gate of the mansion.

“Well… … .”

Ha-jun looked at the iron door for a moment and grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the iron door was still locked. Reluctantly, Ha-jun looked around once and took out Maharaj from his pocket. There was no need to stop time and smash it.

Ha-jun put the maharaj between the iron gates and then increased the size as it was.

damn-.

It was wide enough to fit one person as it was, and Ha-Jun passed between them and walked through the garden to see the mansion.

“Hey, that’s great.”

Upon entering the mansion, the garden was more of a jungle than Hajun had imagined.

Well, it’s been neglected for a few years, so there’s no choice but to do so.

Ha-jun passed the garden and stood in front of the mansion’s front door and pulled the door.

But is it as expected? The front door of the mansion was locked.

‘What is this… … .’

Ha-jun picked up the hammer again and slammed the front door without hesitation.

bang!

The moment the front door broke and Ha-jun stepped into the mansion.

ding-.

“yes?”

A quest window popped up with a familiar notification sound.

[Sub Quest]

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

Description: Uncover the secrets of the Erman family.

Reward: 5,000 experience

“… … What secret?”

* * *

Two hours have passed since I entered the mansion.

In the meantime, Ha-jun looked around the mansion, but couldn’t find any relevant information.

‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong… … .’

The mansion is a two-story structure, and Ha-Jun does not look like there is anything there after a glance from the first floor to the second floor.

Of course, I couldn’t find anything at all.

A photo was held in Ha-jun’s hand.

It was a picture I found earlier in a room that looked like an office on the second floor.

A family photo of a happy family.

There were two pictures of River’s parents, River’s and Elaine’s childhood pictures, and a skinny, sharp-looking man in a butler’s suit and a fat man with a cane.

“yes?”

At that time, Ha-jun’s gaze turned to the fat man in the picture.

familiar face.

It must have been the face of the man I had seen at Elaine’s house earlier.

“Why is this person here?”

Ha-jun looked puzzled for a moment, then put the picture back into his pocket.

Anyway, if I keep looking at the picture and thinking about it, nothing will be resolved.

And one last place I haven’t been to yet.

‘Then is it only underground now?’

The central staircase seen from the central hall earlier.

Looking at the stairs, I saw that there were stairs going down to the basement.

Of course, when I went down the stairs, a thick iron gate was blocking it.

Ha-jun went down to the basement of the central staircase again and stood in front of the iron gate.

At the center of the iron gate, there was a button engraved with a strange pattern, but looking at the arm, it looked like the door had to be pressed to open the door.

And after staring blankly at the iron door for a moment, when he pulled out Maharaj, Pilaten opened his mouth.

-for a moment. Master, I can sense a magical energy beyond this. thoughtlessly-.

bang!

“what?”

-… … .

The iron gate, which received a big shock, leaned forward with a squeaking sound and thumped to the floor! and fell

Ha-jun asked Pilaten with a puzzled expression, but Pilaten was silent.

Then, after realizing something, Pilaten began to persuade himself.

-Right… … , not. You don’t need to worry too much in the first place.

“… … ?”

Anyway, Ha-jun was puzzled by Pilaten’s words and went inside.

And as soon as he went inside, Hajun’s eyes lit up at the sight he saw.

Surely there was something underground.

To be precise, there was something like a huge golden vault engraved with a wave pattern.

“What is this?”

Then, Ha-jun looked at the huge safe with curious eyes for a moment before approaching.

The system window pops up with a ding- sound.

[Vault Etherdon]

Rank: Legendary

Traits: {Unbreakable Gold Iron}

Description: A safe that never breaks.

“yes?”

Hajun gave a puzzled expression to the window that suddenly appeared.

‘This safe… … , Was it a Bogu?’

However, it was a very odd Noble Phantasm.

It has one trait, but it’s a Legendary-grade Noble Phantasm… … .

At that time, it was Ha-jun who found something in the safe door.

“Do you have a home?”

There was a small groove to put something in.

Ha-jun looked at the groove for a moment, then rummaged through his pockets and took out the family’s Noble Phantasm, Ethergia. Ha-jun looks at the cross section and groove of Aethergia for a moment.

It was just the right size when viewed from the public eye.

Ha-jun immediately put the ethergia into the groove.

soon after

“… … ?”

To my surprise, nothing happened.

Hajun scratched his head in embarrassment and opened his mouth.

“Isn’t this?”

-Right.

Then Pilaten noticed something and said.

– There’s an intricate formula engraved on this safe.

“What are you talking about?”

-Probably, after enchanting a Noble Phantasm that looks like this key, insert it into that groove to open it. Moreover, there must be something set aside for the magic power.

“Well… … , but why do you know it so well?”

-… … .

At that question, Pilaten was only silent.

Ha-jun looked at Maharaj with a puzzled expression for a moment, then turned his gaze back to look at the safe.

“Anyway, I can’t open it now, right?”

-Yes.

With that said, Ha-jun decided to go back to the hotel without a second thought.

I don’t think it’s going to be resolved if I stay here anyway.

Ha-jun turned and went up the stairs again, and at that moment, Pilaten noticed something and opened his mouth.

-for a moment.

“… … why?”

-Someone came upstairs.

“Is Anna here?”

– That’s not it, my lord. The quality of magic itself is different.

At those words, Ha-jun made a puzzled expression and went up the stairs once again to the spacious hall.

Soon after, as Pilaten said, five unidentified men in black suits stood blocking the front door.

Then, in the center of them, a man with bare hair pulled out a photo from his pocket, looked at Ha-jun’s face and the photo alternately, and began to open his eyes.

said the man

“You crazy! That’s right. it’s him I hope it shows up after a few years… … .”

“How do I do this?”

“What do you do? Break your limbs and catch them! Catch him before he runs away!”

“Yes!”

With those words, the monsters approach Ha-jun with threatening steps.

That was then.

Tukang! bang! bang! bang!

The bald-haired monster who seemed to be the captain was suddenly smashed to the floor, followed by a shock that shook the floor with a huge roar.

Whoops!! Whoops!! Whoops!!

The impact caused stone fragments and dust to rise in all directions, and the monster’s body, which had been thrown on the ground, suddenly soared into the sky and crashed into the ceiling. Soon after, it could not bear the weight and fell to the floor again, thump! when making a sound.

““… … .””

After observing the whole process, the monsters remained silent with a shocked face, at a loss for words.

They, the four people who looked exactly like subordinates, had a look of surprise and fear.

What just happened?

When they just stare blankly at what happened.

“Who’s limbs are you breaking?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

At one point, a boy standing in front of them said:

A boy with a golden hammer.

At that moment, their eyes began to tremble greatly when they saw the hammer.

But it was a little confusing.

thud!! Tukang!! bang!!

Painful shocks came over their bodies. After struggling with pain for a while, they quickly flew in all directions and started to be smashed into the wall.

* * *

“Shut up!”

After arranging the monsters that came suddenly.

Ha-jun woke the man who seemed to be the captain in shock, sat on his back, and interrogated him.

“Who are you?”

“Shut up!”

“Is it the Villain Alliance?”

And the man who was actually listening was confused.

‘Uh, why is he here… … .’

The man knew.

The identity of the golden hammer that the boy is now holding.

A hero with a golden hammer.

The monster called ‘Irregular’ in the world was obvious.

So it was even more confusing.

Why is he in England and not Korea?

In any case, it was clear that there was a misunderstanding of the situation.

said the man

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. There seems to be a misunderstanding.”

“What misunderstanding?”

“I never meant to touch Irregular-sama. I think I misunderstood the face… … .”

After the destruction of Bars, the most famous villain organization in the United States in the past, an unwritten rule arose among villain organizations in each country.

It’s an unwritten rule that came naturally even if you didn’t have to kiss it.

‘Never touch a hero with a golden hammer.’

It must be the day that the organization will be destroyed.

And Ha-jun, who heard the man’s excuse, simply asked a question while holding the hammer with a calm face.

“So with whom?”

“That, that.”

With those words, the man rummaged through his pockets with trembling hands and took out a picture.

A young boy with silver hair and red eyes with a calm expression.

It was the same face as Ha-jun, only the hair color and eye color were different.

And Ha-jun, who saw the photo, scoffed at him.

Ha-jun, who raised one corner of his mouth while looking at the picture, turned his gaze again, looked down at the man, and opened his mouth.

“Is this for me?”

“Yes, yes?”

“Do you think we have a lot to talk about?”

With those words, Ha-jun grabbed the man’s leg and dragged him to the small room on the right.

“Ahh! Come on, wait! No way!”

And the man being dragged away was just screaming in fear.

Meanwhile.

“Hey!!”

Anna was startled by the screams that came from inside the eerie mansion.
