Transcension Academy

p>He split the leather smoothly and removed the tendons.
He stuttered when he first started this job but got used to it after 9 years.
Now, he could dismantle most monsters’ bodies with his eyes closed.

“Hey, how can you find a tendon so quickly? Are you a clairvoyant?”

“Haha, I just thought it was around here, but it came out right away.”

Of course, even considering that, Seo-joon’s work speed was incredibly fast.

‘Is this also the effect of the lectures?’

Seo-joon continued his work with more excitement and Man-Cheol, who was looking at Seo-joon.

“What the hell happened in the hospital…?”

Man-cheol shook his head and walked to the pile of dead bodies.
Suddenly, however, the pile of manticore bodies shook.

“Huh? What is it?”

Man-cheol approached the bodies and just as he was about to check,

“Kieek!”

Suddenly, a creepy scream leaked out of the pile of corpses.
It was a sound that should never be heard from there.

“What’s going on?”

“What was that?”

The people who were working stopped and looked in the direction where the sound was heard from.

“What is it?”

And it wasn’t different in Seo-joon’s case.

Just as people were looking, something suddenly came out from a pile of dead bodies.
It was a ferocious quadrupedal monster with a large size.

“Oh my god!”

It was none other than a manticore.

“Manticore!”

“Why is there a living manticore here? Weren’t all of them dead?”

“There’s no time for that! Everyone, run away!”

The scene quickly became a disaster as people started fleeing in confusion.

Seo-joon instinctively turned around and ran away since only an awakened could deal with monsters.

More than 100 years ago, when the early awakened appeared, people knew and believed so but over time, research was done, and it turned out to be untrue.

To be exact, the only ones who could deal with monsters were those who could use mana.

People called them hunters and praised them as heroes in the early days of the cataclysm.

Seo-joon was an awakened person and was qualified to use mana but he couldn’t.
Even though he took lectures it was still impossible for him.

So Seo-joon ran away without thinking while turning his head slightly and looking at the manticore.

“Old man!”

“Run away, Seo-joon! Don’t worry about me and run!”

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Seo-joon saw the manticore roaring toward Man-cheol, who was closest to the pile of corpses and he stopped running.

“What are you doing? I told you to run away!”

Man-cheol shouted at Seo-joon but Seo-joon didn’t listen.
He could survive if he ran away because he had been training.

However Man-Cheol, who is only an ordinary person, will soon be caught by Manticore and his body will be torn to shreds like a piece of paper.

‘What about the hunters? Park Seo-yoon was here before.’

Seo-joon shook his head right away.
Since there was no hunter around he had to save Man-cheol.

Seo-joon clenched his fist, he was worried for a moment but he acted quickly.

While looking around he found an iron bar thrown randomly and ran and grabbed it.
It was a long iron bar that was common in construction plates.

Seo-joon clasped the iron bar.
He couldn’t catch the manticore since he couldn’t use mana so he had to distract it until hunters got here.

Above all, even if you can use mana, the manticore is a four-star monster and even professional hunters will struggle against it.

However, since he had been training so far, he would be able to distract it for a while.
Nevertheless, some hesitation and fear hold Seo-joon back.

Just then, like a hallucination, Shakyamuni’s words were heard into Seo-joon’s ears.

[You’re the universe.
A universe that observes the world, thinks about where it came from, what this world is, and where it is going now.]

His emotions calmed down immediately.
Although his heart was beating as if it would explode his head and reason were cold like ice.

Seo-joon kicked the ground without any hesitation and narrowed his distance with the manticore.

‘He noticed it?’

Man-cheol suddenly turned to Seo-joon.

“Kieeaek!!”

After the manticore roared, a tremendous amount of killing intent struck Seo-joon and made his mind ache but he didn’t stop running.

The manticore also rushed at Seo-Jun as if scratching the floor with all four legs.

The distance between the two narrowed quickly and a creepy feeling of pressure struck Seo-joon as the manticore swung its sharp front foot towards him but just then he heard Chiron’s words in his head.

[If you think, judge, and move or it’ll be too late! Move the moment you see it and leave the judgment to the senses! That is the sixth sense!]

Seo-joon looked straight at the approaching manticore paw but didn’t feel anything.
However, when Seo-joon recognized the action, his body leaned back as far as he could and the manticore front paw passed by the front of his eyes.

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

The manticore who was angry that its attack missed roared even more fiercely.

Seo-joon put strength in his legs and jumped up.

“Kieek?”

The manticore was taken aback when Seo-joon disappeared from its view.

‘An opening! But how should I attack?’

As if to tell the answer, Xiang Yu’s voice was heard.

[Reversal divergence does not simply mean power, it’s about the spirit.
Don’t doubt a single stroke of yours will split a mountain.]

Seo-joon gripped the iron bar even tighter.

At this moment, Seo-joon did not think about any offensive methods like swinging, stabbing and cutting.

[Reverse divergence! The power to split a mountain!]

There was a tremendous explosion along with the dizzying pain felt in his hand and a while later as the thick cloud of dust dispersed.

“Oh, my God…”

“How…”

There was an unknown silence.

The fleeing people stopped and looked at the amazing scene as the manticore was split into two and couldn’t even be recognized.

As there was no need to run away now, people just stared blankly at the presence standing at the center.

At that moment, Seo-joon’s smartphone rang loudly and informed him of something.
It was only then that Seo-joon came to his senses.

“What?”

And tilted his head.

“Why was it pierced?”

Seo-joon was puzzled by the situation in front of him.
