Chapter 28 - Jinrihoe (1)

Jinrihoe (Order Of Truth).

As you can guess from its name, Jinrihoe was a religious organization.

Conspired around a man called ‘The Great Voice' and seven apostles under him, they claimed that their words were the words of God.

And although it is said to be a god, in fact, the god they worship is a non-existent god.

It was not exactly a personal God, and the God they speak of is Truth.

Therefore, they were no different from claiming that their words were the truth.

So, about 100 years ago, until the cataclysm occurred, they were nothing more than a pseudo-religion.

And in other words, after the cataclysm, they were transformed into a normal religion rather than a pseudo-religion.

And through their subsequent moves, their power was now spreading all over the world.

The reason why this was possible was not for some shy reason, such as that Jinrihoe foresaw the end of the cataclysm or that they had solidified their own beliefs even in the cataclysm.

The biggest reason they were able to become a global religion was that Jinrihoe was the one who ended the cataclysm and brought peace to human civilization.

Of course, this did not mean that Jinrihoe alone ended the cataclysm.

Many unsung heroes have been with us, and among them, let's pick a representative figure in Korea.

Youngseong, a spiritualist known for handling divine spirits.

A demonic star that is credited with compiling magic science.

A master of stealth and a master of assassination. dark star.

A witch doctor who says he can revive anyone as long as he doesn't die. Uiseong (medicine star).

And now, the sword star in front of me, called the one who pursues the tip of the sword.

These five were heroes representing Korea, and other than that, they were representative foreign figures.

The Dark Witch Alice.

Leah, the saint of light. Blood mage Kawamura.

Demon Hunter Lisberry.

There were so many heroes such as Dragon Slayer Lebanon.

The end of Cataclysm was a feat accomplished by the combined efforts of many of these heroes.

That's why people say this about Jinrihoe and heroes.

Without the heroes, the cataclysm would still be going on.

However, without Jinrihoe, the cataclysm would never end.

Jinrihoe played the most decisive and important role in ending the cataclysm.

And Calia, whom Mooncheol Preface mentioned, is one of the seven apostles of the Jinrihoe, ‘Humility, Mercy, Kindness, Patience, Purity, Temperance, and Diligence.'

Among these, he was one of the successors of the currently vacant apostle of chastity.

However, considering the status of the Jinrihoe and the seven apostles, even if they were successors, they were not simply judged as successors.

And above all.

“yes? Seojun?”

“what? You mean that guy?”

It was not a situation to be taken lightly from Calia suddenly wanting to see Seo-joon.

It also pointed out the name ‘Kim Seo-joon'.

“That… I don’t know. Sir Calia only asked me to do so... In fact, if it hadn't been for Moonju's words yesterday , I wouldn't even know

who Kim Seo-joon was...

Seo Moon-chul slightly turned his gaze to look at Seo-jun, who was sitting on the side of the academy.

Following the gaze of Seo Moon-cheol, the gaze of Seo Yoon and Sword Master also turned to Seo Jun.

Seo-joon, who received the attention of three people like that.

And now Seo-joon was in a daze.

‘why...?'

Of course, Seo-joon knew about Jinrihoe.

To be honest, the status of Jinrihoe was so high that I wondered if anyone who did not know Jinrihoe existed in Korea or even in the world.

To put it a little objectively, there is no one in Korea who can match the reputation of the swordsman.

Except for the remaining four beings mentioned earlier, there was no one in Korea who could treat the swordsmen carelessly.

But if you ask if it's like that abroad, it wasn't.

There were heroes like swordsmen in foreign countries, and regardless of objective skills, the hunters of their own people were always the strongest and greatest.

However, Jinrihoe was one step away from that notion.

Their existence was acknowledged anywhere in the world, and especially the 7 apostles were treated like heads of state.

Of course, Calia was not the apostle of chastity, but only one of the successors, but the position of the successor was not a position that anyone could rise to.

But is Calia looking for Seo-joon?

Seo-joon didn't know how to accept this situation.

Yes, really leaving everything else behind.

“Why are you looking for me? No, how the hell do you know me?”

How the hell did Calia know Seo-joon? It was never explained.

I've said it over and over again, but Calia is the successor to the apostle of chastity, and in some ways could be said to be the head of the Jinrihoe.

To Calia, Seo-joon, who was just a mere student, was in such a situation that she honestly didn't even know that he existed.

“You bastard... Could it be that you belonged to the Jinrihoe?”

So, the swordsman once again had doubts about Seo-joon.

“no. I hope.”

“Then why does that bitch Calia know you?”

Seo-joon didn't have the talent to answer something he didn't know.

“ah! no way?”

A voice suddenly heard then.

When I turned my head in the direction of the sound, Seoyoon was lost in thought.

“Could it be... was that person from Jinrihoe at that time?”

“Do you know anything?”

“Ah, that's...”

In response to the sword master's question that was worse than that, Seoyoon finally brought out the words she had been thinking about.

That was during the academy contest not too long ago.

It was a story about a man in a black hood that Seoyoon happened to see in a gambling house.

“It's suspicious, but isn't there anything that can be identified as a member of Jinrihoe?”

“yes. That's true, but just in case...”

Seoyoon smiled awkwardly and blurted out her words.

“Even as Seoyoon said, it's strange that he's from Jinrihoe. There's no way Calia would be interested in something like that...”

Then Geomsung looked at Seo-jun and said.

“You bastard. Do you really have nothing to hide?”

“I am very embarrassed right now. Really.”

“Hmm...”

At Seojun's words, the swordsman didn't question.

Even though Geomseong felt it, it was clear that Seojun was really flustered.

At that time, when there is nothing to say to each other and time passes silently.

Suddenly, Seojun tilted his head and said.

“By the way… is there a reason I should go?”

“hmm?”

“yes?”

At Seojun's words, Seoyoon and Geomseong tilted their heads this time.

Seojun continued as if it was natural.

“Come to think of it, it is. Sir Calia? There's no reason for me to go just because it's called... isn't it? is not it? Am I the only one who thinks so?”

Well... I wasn't wrong.

Honestly, what would Seo-joon do when he met Calia?

Whether it's the 7 apostles or whatever, to Seo-joon, he's just a cold-eyed foreigner.

Others say that they will learn something and jump at it anyway, but to Seo-joon, a student at the Transcendent Academy, they are useless.

No matter how great the Jinrihoe was, it was nothing compared to the instructors at the Transcendent Academy.

Of course, since he is a famous person, he may have a desire to see his face once, with the feeling of seeing a celebrity.

But Seo-joon was far from that.

If that was the case, there would have been an uproar from the moment I saw the Sword Saint in front of me in the first place.

To Seo-joon, Calia was like the sword star in front of him, a person who was strange to see, but didn't care if he didn't see it.

Rather, it was much more profitable to listen to transcendental lectures at that time and make money from dungeon raids.

“ah...?”

But it wasn't for others to accept.

Calia is the successor to the apostle of chastity.

Of course, someone could say that he was one of the many successors.

However, there was a situation that could not be said only if you knew a little about the circumstances of Jinrihoe.

If he refused with the logic that there was simply no reason to go in the first place, it would have been the case with the swordsman.

Calia's request could not be viewed simply as a request.

Obviously that's the problem.

“That's right...? There's no reason for Seojun to go too far...? Yes?”

It wasn't just that it was wrong.

“...”

As if the Sword Saint agreed to this, he said nothing.

I'm just looking at Seo-joon with eyes that make me want to have all these guys.

but only one person.

“Sir Calia is Sir Calia…”

Only Seo Moon-cheol was not like that.

Geomseong asked at the meaningful muttering of Seo Muncheol.

“What do you mean?”

“Ah, actually... Sir Calia told me in advance that someone named Kim Seo-joon could talk like that. And if someone really said something like that, I asked them to tell it like this.”

At the same time, Seo Mun-cheol seemed to be contemplating whether or not he should really convey these words.

But now I can't pretend I don't know. So Mooncheol Seo opened his mouth and said,

“I can give you 100 million just by coming, so think again.”

Seo-joon couldn't help but be surprised by the world.

In the end, Seojun decided to meet Calia with Geomseong.

And the reason was not simply because of 100 million.

Above all, even if he received 100 million won, he could not know how the cause and effect would work.

It was because it was not the result of Seo-joon's hard work.

But, having said that, I couldn't help but go.

‘How on earth do you know I need 100 million?'

Of course, it could have been a mere coincidence.

If Seoyoon's words were true, the person in the black hood informed the Jinrihoe of Seojun's existence and they would also know that Seojun was disqualified.

Then, it was not too difficult to guess that Seo-joon was regretting the prize money of 100 million won he missed at the time.

Or he could have simply offered a meaningless amount to entice Seo-joon.

That's what they thought 100 million was enough.

But even if all of this was just a coincidence, there was something that couldn't be overlooked.

First of all, if the person in the black hood is from Jinrihoe, why did he announce the existence of Seo-jun?

And why do they want to go this far to meet Seo-joon?

Do they know something else about Seo-jun?

If you think about it, Seojun didn't know too much about the transcendent academy.

Of course, I now knew, at least roughly, the functions of the Transcendent Academy.

But why does the Transcendent Academy exist?

Why did the advertisement come only to you and why is the lecture only visible to you?

The person who is writing to the community... no, who are they and where are they located?

Seo-jun could not give any answer to this question.

So, Seo-joon has been trying to find answers to these questions, but he has not been able to get any clues.

I just thought I would ask the mentor when he comes. was all

In the midst of that, Calia's message suddenly came.

‘Could the Jinrihoe know something?'

Now Seo-jun had more than enough reason to meet Calia.

So Seo-joon headed to the place where Calia was with Geomseong.

It was a mediocre hotel located in a corner of Seoul.

Considering Calia's status, even a 7-star hotel would not be enough.

However, the swordsman walked to the hotel entrance without questioning anything.

As they approached the entrance, someone who appeared to be a believer blocked Geomseong and Seo-jun.

The swordsman took a step forward and spoke to the believer.

“I came to see Calia. The guy next to me...”

“I know. Are you Seojun Kim?”

Strangely, however, Shindo knows about Seo-jun's existence.

“you're right.”

“Eat inside. Lord Calia is waiting for you.”

When Seojun nodded, Shindo smiled and moved away.

Geomseong and Seo-jun entered the hotel, leaving the believer behind.
