Chapter 56.1
Korean superhuman academy was one of the biggest academies in the world.
How could such a gigantic size come out from such a cramped land like Korea, you ask? The answer was, the whole island was built on the sea in the west coast area.
On top of this white marble-like island, a magnificent castle-like structure was built. It was the superhuman academy city, or widely known as ‘Sekim’, a name derived from a new coined word proposed by the president at that time.
People used to sarcastically call it ‘a word made of pork belly (Samgyupsal) and kimchi’ but years later, the name Sekim was imprinted in the heads of people all over the world.
The academy where many brilliant superhumans were working as their teaching staff. A highly sought out place for both superhuman wannabes who wanted to learn skills as well as ordinary students who seeked this place for their diploma.
This huge city with a total population of 5 million people was where the famed ‘Sejong Super Ability School’ was located at.
‘A parent’s visit day huh?’
The Academy held ‘parent’s visit day’ once a year to show the parents how much their children had changed. At the same time the academy used this event to boast about the academy’s achievements through the student progress.
Unlike the ‘normal’ parent’s visit, this day was also the day where both conglomerates and guilds tried to scout some promising students through the fighting tournament held by the academy
Lee Dong-joon looked at his daughter, Shin Hye-ji from the spectator’s seat.
Even though they didn’t share the same blood, Shin hye-ji was still his ‘daughter in contract’. And it was also true to some extent that Lee Dong-joon had put her inside the ‘boundary’ of his own family.
Shin Hye-Ji was a girl with a very sad dream. She wanted to become a ‘hunter’ even though she was only an ordinary human without any kind of superpower.
Lee Dong-Joon had asked her to give up her dream several times. Yet, she kept working hard everyday to achieve her dream. Eventually, Lee Dong-Joon, who was moved by Shin Hye-ji’s determination, broke another rule.
In addition to ‘don’t have a relationship’, Lee Dong-joon also broke the ban of ‘don’t spread martial arts.’
-You shouldn’t have done that.
Lee Dong-Joon heard those words as he watched Shin Hye-Ji’s duel.
-Why did you break the ban?
‘Because i’m the one who made it.’
The identity of the voice who was talking to him inside his head was none other than Dharma. More precisely, it was Dharma of Earth.
Long time ago, Lee Dong-joon was accidentally possessed by the spirit inside a Dharma’s relics. Countless Earthlings were summoned to Moorim. While everyone was still engulfed in confusion and chaos, Lee Dong-joon adapted faster than anyone else and successfully earned a high achievement thanks to the Dharma inside his body.
At that time, his one and only dream was to return to Earth.
However, Dharma from Earth was afraid that martial arts from Moorim would spread on Earth.
Dharma, who once spread his Magical energy on Earth and made it possible for anyone to use it, collected all of his power back when he saw that people were so absorbed in their own power that they stained the world with blood.
He didn’t want to repeat the same mistake ever again. Even when the world has changed into a world where monsters existed, he had yet to change his mind
‘Can’t you make it so that only I can return to earth?’ Lee Dong-joon asked, but the Dharma shook his head to refuse Lee Dong-Joon pledge.
-If you return, all the earthlings in Moorim would also return.
In that case, there was no other choice but to impose a ban on all earthlings in Moorim.
So Lee Dong-joon took all of them under his wings to observe their action. And then he made a rule that stated ‘if you used martial arts or engaged in a relationship, Dharma would visit you.’
But there was one big flaw in the rules.
It was the fact that the rules wouldn’t apply for the Dharma, Lee Dong-Joon himself.
-… I trusted you.
‘……..’
However, Lee Dong-Joon didn’t have any intention to use his power to hunt monsters. He simply wanted a normal life.
‘The world is bound to change. Didn’t you also change your way of talking too?’
-You bastard! I’ve been living for hundreds of years. How can I only speak one tune?
‘It doesn’t matter. I’m going to do anything I can for me and my family.’
-…So, you won’t think about other people from Moorim at all?
If Lee Dong-joon decidex to return to Earth. all earthlings on Moorim would have no other choice but to follow him.
‘Please, my daughter and my husband are here. I don’t want to go back. Please…’
There was a person who said that as she hugged her child and begged. Then there were others…
‘Please, she’ll be back in a week. Let me see her just one more time. Please, I’d like to confess to her.’
Someone hit his head on the floor.
‘I can’t go back now. I have to kill the man who killed my girl!’
Someone said that as he stuck a knife towards Lee Dong-joon
However, Lee Dong-joon was an absolute master of Moorim who had reached the status of ‘Legendary Lord’. No one could ever beat him by force. In the end, they were all forced to move back to earth.
After their return to earth, there were many cases where people from Moorim couldn’t hold their bloodthirst and used their martial arts recklessly. Whenever that happened, Lee Dong-joon went and dealt with them in the cruelest way possible. Some of them had their limbs cut off and left with only their lives remaining.
Lee Dong-joon did that in order to make an example out of them so that no one would disobey the will of the Dharma ever again.
-Your karma is bound to catch up to you. How angry would all the people from Moorim be if they knew what you’ve done, I wonder?
‘There is no way it is going to happen. I have already changed my face and hidden my identity. No one from Moorim would know who I am.’
The martial arts he taught to his daughter, Shin Hye-ji, was seemingly similar to a Body strengthening skill. There would be no problem whatsoever.
Suddenly,
“Oh! Hello, we meet again.”
