The teachers of the cradle are all warriors of reversal.

It’s not that he’s actually old, but that his skills are that good.

However, there was one thing that even such teachers wanted to avoid.

“Off… .”

“Wooooh―”

-nodding

He may have special abilities and abilities, but in the end, he is only a human being.

The afternoon is when you feel the most drowsy. If you add lunch to it, drowsiness will be at its peak.

The common opinion is that this cannot be blocked by any supernatural ability.

“Hmm.”

Teacher Smith, standing at the podium, was drooling and scratching his head.

Of course. Cradle teachers were caught at a time they most wanted to avoid.

This monster behavior class is famous for being extremely boring and uninteresting.

Usually, some students do other things or doze off.

If it happens right after lunch like it does now, there is no answer.

“Let’s sleep!!”

―Clap clap!

But what can you do? You are the teacher, and they are the students.

Those who must teach and those who must learn. Ultimately, everything is for the future.

“Everyone must be crazy from sleepiness, right? Even the teacher knows everything! Physical education classes are supposed to be held after lunchtime! This teacher is also very sleepy! But what can you do! Let’s all do our best and focus in class! Let’s go, let’s go!!”

It was by no means Mr. Smith’s struggle alone.

Still, he is capable of protecting the empire. Everyone is fighting.

Some people pinch my cheeks or thighs. Some people drink cold water in one gulp.

Some of them ended up hanging their heads in defeat from drowsiness.

Meanwhile, some people are maintaining a clear look in their eyes as if they can tolerate this much.

“… .”

Among them was Deus, who sat at the very back.

‘anyway. It’s because everyone has weak stamina, stamina.’

Tsk tsk. My tongue clenches. Is that really someone capable of protecting the future of the empire?

No, how are you going to fight monsters if you can’t even get over drowsiness?

Isn’t this something that can be overcome with just one’s guts?

Called. In fact, I have a history of falling asleep.

Deus, who had been shaking his head, now turns his head to the side.

“… .”

There, I saw Yurishia struggling with drowsiness.

To be precise, we are on the verge of defeat. My head keeps shaking.

After looking at the scene for a moment, Deus stretched out his hand and knocked on the desk.

So as not to surprise Yurishia. As carefully as possible.

―Thump!

Of course, that didn’t mean the sound could be quiet.

“Huh?!”

Yurishia, startled, quickly raises her head.

He then looked around, probably thinking the teacher had warned him.

“Eurisia.”

Perhaps she would be more surprised, Deus lightly waved his hand once.

This means that there is no need to be more surprised since you were the one who woke him up.

“Ah… !”

At first, I was glad I wasn’t a teacher.

Next, he expressed his gratitude that Deus did it for him.

finally. Even the embarrassment of showing myself like this in front of him.

‘Uuuu… .’

In an instant, Yurishia’s face turns pink, similar to the color of her hair.

If it were a cartoon, both ears would pop! And wouldn’t hot steam come out?

“Next. We will learn about female monsters. These guys are floating creatures that like dark places even more than other monsters. But I am by no means weak to light. In fact, many people with bright abilities have had great struggles. The actions of these guys… .”

I thought it was just a way to crush them with special abilities, but it turns out they have their own strategy.

Deus thought about this as he took appropriate notes from the class.

but. Only then will we be able to explain the many types of abilities.

There are strengths and weaknesses, and they must be in harmony to support each other.

If one side is strong, the balance will be lost and it will become a big problem in the end.

‘There are quite a variety of monsters. The behavior patterns are also different. This means that it does not serve as a simple combat power meter. Are these guys going to be the main villains?’

How can I adapt more perfectly to this world?

Finding a way to return is important, but it is still too early.

For now, the priority is to find your own place and live here.

First of all, this world is not an ordinary academic drama.

Just like the apocalyptic movies you’ve seen, there are monsters at the gate.

It’s just different from , where the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

‘At first monsters were the mainstay there, but gradually other evil people appeared. And then people who were stronger than the monsters poured out, I guess?’

Since monsters are literally ‘monsters’, it was very easy to recognize them as enemies.

However, it is difficult to distinguish between the same people unless you read their minds.

I felt fortunate that there seemed to be no such people in this world.

“Deus?”

No matter how you think about it, the best way to live here is to be a person with special abilities.

Coincidentally, the mistake of mistaking the genre and training myself like crazy turned out to be a huge strength.

If you perform well in that area, you will soon be stripped of your swords and other tickets!

“Deus… ?”

ah. It seems like he let his imagination run wild.

“Ah, Yurishia. Did you call me?”

“Ugh. Class is over… I’m just staring straight ahead.”

what. Class is already over? No, when?

I looked around in confusion and realized that it was indeed break time.

I can’t believe I was thinking about something else so much that I lost my mind.

“Ho, is something wrong?”

“Something happened. just… .”

[This is a notice to all Cradle students. Gate alarm issued. Gate alarm issued. This situation is real. We would like to inform you once again. Gate alarm issued. Gate alarm issued. This situation… . ]

“What happened… There is… .”

Something feels unfair. What if something really happens?

Even a gate alarm? Isn’t this a really big deal?

“Attention everyone! Jumoook!!”

Teacher Smith, who left the classroom a little while ago saying hello, hurriedly enters.

Then he hit the lectern and said, ‘Don’t panic! Hey guys! ‘You shouldn’t panic!’ shout.

Let’s forget about the fact that we seem to be the most embarrassed.

“This is a real situation! It’s not training! Everyone get out of the building! Everyone knows?! If a gate is created near a building, the building may collapse and cause serious trouble!”

“Is it not possible even though I am protected by a barrier?!”

“If that were possible, the barrier-type guys would have taken the top spot! Everyone get out now! hurry! Next, each teacher and cradle manager. And so that we can move according to the guidance of the student council!”

Gatera. It’s a monster. Ah, I suddenly wonder how it came to be.

“Deus! Uh, let’s get out there… !”

“Yes, yes. Let’s go.”

Deus thought so as he followed behind a nervous Urishia.

*

It finally came. Mr. Hunter lifted up his sunglasses.

They say they are doing their best in the repair room. They said that some ingredients had just arrived.

They also said that repairs would be completed in a week and it would be operational again.

But like everything else in the world, accidents always happen at times like these.

And that, of course, happened to be his turn to work.

‘Field work is a little different now.’

The lifespan of talented people is not very long. Not the path of life, but the path of special abilities.

The power of this ability inevitably leads to physical overload.

Therefore, the time they can be active in the field is not very long.

For most people, retirement is already confirmed when they are in their late 30s or early 40s.

Among them, those who had a tougher time in the field are having a tough time starting in their early 30s.

“Keuung.”

It’s not completely outdated, but it doesn’t mean it’s as fresh as it was in its 20s.

So, just in case, relax your body lightly. Isn’t a man’s life over if he sprains his back?

Fortunately, his body seems to have returned to its original state.

It moves easily without any pain or creaks.

―Kugugu!

Space becomes distorted, and a black abyss opens its mouth.

The musty smell of death rises from beyond. It’s absolutely disgusting.

A few decades ago it was called the end of the world.

At that time, the fact about supernatural abilities and the existence of people with abilities was not yet known.

At most, sword energy and magic were all that could be resisted.

How many sacrifices were made before humanity was finally ready?

Because everyone remembers those days, today’s talented people consider their duties very important.

This is a right and a gift, but at the same time a shackle and fate.

-Kyaaaa!!

Monsters that have harmed countless people in the past are screaming again.

Inside, they would have been the masters, the only beings, and the strong ones.

These are nightmares that seek to spread their malice in this world without hesitation.

“Mr. Hunter!!”

“Ah. Welcome, Teacher Tiamat. What was the evacuation like?”

“It’s going well! I left it there!”

That’s good news. Because students are not yet ready.

It’s not that I don’t believe in their abilities. A stronger mind is needed.

This is a fight against monsters, and at the same time a fight against oneself.

“How is it?”

“Hmm. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a high-risk gate.”

“Thank goodness! You can’t have the whole area ruined for no reason!!”

“Let’s organize it quickly. I have class after this.”

Although it is said that it cannot be as powerful as before.

They are still capable. Guardians who protect the empire from disaster.

Even if your body breaks down and you get older, this is a fact that does not change.

“Shall we compete?! Who catches more!”

“Good.”

Teacher Hunter takes off his sunglasses and quietly sets them down next to him.

A nickname given by students. Deer eyes. As the saying goes, gentle and gentle eyes.

However, what is pervading it is clear hostility towards that disaster.

“The loser gets to buy tonight.”

“For me, it’s definitely meat, right?! It’s also the most expensive one!!”

Even if you say “, isn’t it just pork belly and soju in the end?”

“Do you drink wheat sometimes?!”

“… Do whatever you want.”

The two teachers from the cradle ran straight toward the gate that appeared.

Without any idea of what was waiting deep inside the abyss.
