Episode 293 The future without you and me (1)
“...so. Are you saying that you came back as you are now after 11 years of time, and that you are originally a 27-year-old man?
Besides, is the one attacking us right now an Aesir or a Valkyrie following a Norse god doing something?”
“...that's right. It's all good, but can't you leave out the old man?”
At Kim Yu-jung's words, Jae-hyun forced a smile and replied.
However, the atmosphere was not friendly.
It was very confusing, and it took time for my colleagues to accept it.
If Jaehyun's words are true, why did Jaehyun approach them?
It was most likely not out of favor for them, but simply because they coveted their abilities.
to use.
That's why Jae-hyun might have attracted them.
Even Jaehyun told his confused colleagues without cheating.
“As you think, I tried to use you all the time after returning. The reason I approached him was because of that. I understand if you feel disappointed. I have nothing to say.”
Jaehyun couldn't help but feel the deep pain of spitting out those words.
They were people who became his valued allies. It was indescribable pain to reveal one's shame to such people.
No matter how deeply I care about them now, it won't matter to them anymore.
angle.
You would think that you approached to use yourself and that's how it happened.
In the end, he deceived everyone.
Benefits of Regression.
‘I may have trampled on the hearts of my colleagues with a complacent mind that only I can live well.'
Knowing that, Jaehyun thought of understanding them even if they were no longer with him.
But when the silence flowed, everyone's answer came back.
“...I don't think you're a bad person, even if you came all the way here with the intention of taking advantage of us. There were times we had fun together… and all of that doesn’t go away.”
“that's right. no luck Wasn’t I brought here for the purpose of using it from the beginning?”
Seo Na-na and Kwon So-yul said that first, followed by Ahn Ho-yeon and Lee Jae-sang.
“You changed us. positively. That alone doesn't make us hate you. You are the leader of Nine in the first place. Earlier... the guys who were called Valkyries. They say that only you can defeat them.
If we can be of any help, that's enough.”
“I was also able to grow thanks to you. Jaehyun, that was a choice to survive, not a deception against us.”
Why are you listening to everyone? I felt something boiling in my chest.
Jaehyun tried to say something, but his lips kept moving, nothing leaked out from inside.
My throat is full. these are.
Are my nice co-workers trying to understand me using them?
At that moment, Seo Ina said as if answering.
“...we have to go together. The God and the Adversary... and the sentence that says our death is implied in the second verse of the prophecy.
I'm honestly not sure how everything is going... but that doesn't change the fact that we need to be by your side.”
“I can help somehow…”
“No.”
The last person to speak was Kim Yoo-jung. Jaehyun immediately cut her off.
Kim Yoo-jung looked at Jae-hyun with a slightly shocked expression.
Jaehyun was still stubborn. he shook his head.
“I don’t know about anyone else, but not as much as you. You cannot go with me.”
“What are you talking about...? Are we a team?”
“The decision is not overturned. Kim Yoo-jung You don't fight. And from now on, never leave my side. Even if you return to reality, you will be the first to run away.”
There was no warmth to be found in Jaehyun's words.
A sudden change in his behavior.
Kim Yoo-jung and her colleagues were taken aback, but could not respond.
Jaehyun has never acted without reason. There must be a reason for showing such a high-handed appearance this time. That's a very deep reason.
“Let's go. We have to get out of here and deal with Sigrun and the rest.”
Jaehyun said that and walked away.
The Awakening Stone of the Beginning. A full-fledged movement to find it has begun.
A message that just popped up.
―The system of all allies of the Adversary is temporarily changed to the Nornir system.
―You have accepted the quest “The Future Without You and Me” from all of your colleagues.
―Please observe the future of each person and decide whether to join the enemy or not.
their own future.
What will happen in the future that even Jaehyun doesn't know?
The only one who knows that is Loki. And there will be only three Norn sisters.
* * *
When Jae-Hyun and his friends suddenly disappear into an open portal. The subspace camera was still working properly.
Loki's barrier was the outer wall. This was because it had no effect on the operation of the artifacts operating inside.
Loki thought it didn't matter.
Anyway, now Ragnarok is coming. If that happens, humans should also know about the danger and feel fear.
That's not a bad thing.
If there is danger, those who prepare for it will appear.
There must be some frustrated people, but humans are a stronger species than you think.
I will try to move forward in any situation.
Loki thought about it and nodded.
Even on TV, voices continue to relay live events.
[This is a fight far beyond the norm! It is said that all raiders from around the world are moving to Korea to rescue the academy cadets, but... I doubt if that would be a worthwhile action.] [Overwhelming
power. Are humans bound to be infinitely powerless in front of that?]
[If they are really gods, mankind might not have a chance. Cadet Min Jae-hyeon, who was our last hope, has suddenly disappeared, and even Cadet Fei is being pushed back...]
[Everyone, please pray. To give them even a little bit of strength... And so that their embers don't spread...] * * * [
Special
Quest] A
future without you and me
Head to the film room of Milles Academy to see your future selves regenerated. Take a look and decide your future plans.
Condition: See each other's future and decide whether to move forward together with the adversary
Difficulty: ???
Reward: Beginning Awakening Stone ???
Jaehyun gave a brief explanation of the system to his colleagues who had questions about the quest window that popped up.
The Nornir System is, after all, for the antagonist created to fight Odin.
But maybe it's because the comrades standing by the opponents of the prophecy judged you to be you. Because of the operation of that system, these quests were forcibly accepted.
Colleagues quickly agreed.
Well, a little while ago, I saw a god and the leader of the Valkyries with power comparable to him.
Her strength was clearly imprinted in the eyes of the Nine members who ran from afar.
beings called gods. The magical power that they possess, called divinity.
how strong would that be?
“By the way, the name of the quest is strange... A future without you and me.
What are you trying to say?”
Kwon So-yul muttered with his arms crossed. Kim Yoo-jung continued to follow Jae-hyun's back with a dark expression.
Although he was doing what he was told, it was the first time I had seen him so overbearing.
‘Why did Min Jae-hyun suddenly become like that...'
thought Kim Yoo-jung, but swallowed it as it was.
In a small voice, Seo Ina told me that there must be a reason.
She was right.
Jaehyun always planned and moved. It won't be different this time either.
There's a reason, so that's why you're putting yourself behind.
But for some reason, a chill down her spine continued to torment her.
Meanwhile, Jaehyun continued to move forward, arranging the demons around him that had become ruins.
He no longer hid his divinity in front of his colleagues.
You won't be able to quickly return to the original timeline unless you release all of your powers up to the second stage.
If that happens, you won't be able to protect anything. It just couldn't have been.
What have you come so far for? Jaehyun didn't want to forget it.
To do so, I saw my colleagues walking by for a while and looked ahead again.
The ruined city was in a much worse state than when they were camped outdoors.
Not only were all the buildings not functioning properly, but a higher level monster was rampant nearby.
“Originally, harpies don't come out to shallow areas like this... but the future when the gods arrive may be much more terrible than we think.”
“...I know.”
Ahn Ho-yeon and Seo E-na exchanged words.
In any case, the destination was clear.
Film room at Milles Academy.
There, they will see a video of their future appearance.
The system said so, and Jaehyun had never escaped from the control of the system until now.
I'm not sure how it works yet... but
it's certain that it's exercising transcendental power that goes beyond cognition.
Loki, the three Norn sisters, and Mimir.
‘It's just amazing how they made something like this.'
Odin was also an enemy, but he was competent.
After training humans to supplement the lack of soldiers, they set up a plan to make them Einherjar by filling the restraints with the system.
Thinking so, I walked through the closed city for a while, and soon Miles Academy was revealed.
No, to be precise...
“Here... there's no way this is like this. You mean this is Miles from the future?”
Ahn Ho-yeon's voice. It was to represent their hearts.
It was natural. At this point, even Jaehyun was taken aback.
Where the eyes of colleagues are now heading.
Only the ruins of the academy were left there.
It was.
The Milles Academy of the future has already collapsed and does not exist.
* * *
Anyway, Nine stepped inside the ruined academy.
Although the building is still aging, it does not appear to have completely collapsed.
Should I say I'm lucky? The video room was also quickly found.
There, a sphere with blue light was floating.
Jaehyun reached out his hand towards the light.
Then a voice began to be heard from him. It was from the Nornir system.
―You have met the quest conditions.
―Regenerate the future of the Adversary's first ally.
Something like a giant screen floated in the air.
Seo In-na was the first to appear.
In a dark dungeon. Seo Eana was attacking a dungeon with someone.
She was slaughtering enemies with a chilling cold smile.
A completely different, calm look from Seo In-na now. It was also a look that the group was not used to.
“...is that... the future me?”
What surprised me the most was, of course, Seo Ina.
She couldn't easily open her mouth, probably shocked by her change.
Jaehyun nodded.
“Even before the regression, you didn’t trust people. no one.
He said very little, so at first I thought it was dangerous to accept you as a colleague.”
It was a video that showed why Jaehyun was negative about joining him as a team member during the freshman hunt.
The sight of himself killing a demon with no expression was truly bloody.
But... unfortunately, there was definitely a past self there.
As Jaehyun said, it's cold. It was dark...
and before the shock was over, the second video was played.
―Regenerates the future of the Adversary's second ally.
Next was Ahn Ho-yeon.
He barely survives as a low-level raider and spends his days drinking.
Both father and mother are dead, and only one picture of the portrait hangs.
He continues to blame himself.
ugly kid ugly guy
You are the one who ruined everything.
Knights who praised themselves in the past are sticking to the wall.
It was sinking him further.
“Hoyeon, you couldn’t overcome the burden given to you and became a disabled person.
Likewise, no one believed in it, and even my mother… couldn’t protect it.”
“I can't...”
―Replays the future of the Adversary's third ally.
Next was Jaesang Lee.
He stood alone, unable to settle any relationship with his father.
But no one is unaware that his line is precarious.
A lab full of brilliant people. However, unlike the successful appearance on TV, he was being threatened by the training guild.
Make a new potion right away.
side effect? that none of that matters.
The appearance of the training guild leader saying that is clear.
“Memories that may have become my… future.”
―Regenerate the future of the Adversary's fourth ally.
The owner of the last memory was Kwon So-yul.
She was able to enter a somewhat useful guild, but in the end, it was only treated as a tool with bright eyes.
A cheap wayfinding radar.
Although she had her own skill, she lacked actual fighting power and had neither the strength nor the resources to meet a better ending.
“......Looks like there's more exploitation than you. surely.”
Kwon So-yul just said that calmly.
so everyone's memory. Immediately after the piece is played.
An oddity has occurred.
The next video... No matter how long I waited, it didn't connect.
At that moment, a person's face hardened.
-Replayed all memories of the adversary and his allies.
Only two people immediately realized what it meant.
Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung.
Kim Yu-jung looked at Jae-hyun with a more trembling voice than ever before and asked.
“…Min Jaehyun, I will ask you one thing.”
Tears welled up in her eyes and dripped down.
Kim Yoo-jung said while holding Jae-hyun's wrist.
“Why are there no records of me in the future...?”
In response to her question, Jaehyun had no choice but to bring up a story he had wanted to keep quiet for a long time.
“You are dead.”
Jaehyun's eyes fall coldly. it was a pain
It was a pain that choked her breath, and an arrow that pierced her heart.
Jaehyun bit his teeth until the blood gnashed at them.
“Listen to Kim Yoo-jung. You died protecting me during this period before returning. So… I can never let you fight.”
Jaehyun had no choice but to think of the image of the girl who died trying to protect himself.
It was a very long nightmare.
“Please... let me live.”
Jaehyun couldn't help but appeal to Kim Yoojung.
