The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 56 - What in the world? (2)

The scream came from an item in Lee Gun's possession. To be precise, it originated from the book inside Lee Gun's bag.

[Kyahhhhhhhk!]

The scream sounded as if the world would end right now, as if something that shouldn't be revealed had been revealed. It seemed the Fairy Monarch could sense what was happening. Although it was imprisoned, it was powerful enough to sense the energy outside.

Lee Gun grinned when he heard the Fairy Monarch's despair-filled scream. "Bingo!"

Everyone's eyes turned round at Lee Gun's words. It was to be expected. The man had picked up a normal sculpture.

"That is..."

The beautiful white sculpture depicted an angel with large wings and a spear pointed at the sky in its hands. This was the same sculpture that Lee Gun had destroyed when he first came to this house.

'Hey. Hurry up and throw it away. In fact, these items make it more likely for a monster to emerge.'

'What? This is a high-rank charm against evil influence. Moreover, a famous and beautiful Saint even kissed it!'

'Jeez! That's foul.'

Crash!

'Ahhhhhk!'

The young man's face turned pale when he thought about that incident. Lee Gun had acted as if the sculpture was dirty. He had broken it, then tried to find some Lysol. Hahn Jimin clearly remembered this.

'Could the Gemini Saint really be in there?' Chun Sungjae looked at the angel sculpture with a shocked expression. "Didn't you say you received it from the Gemini Saint"

"I...I did." Of course, Hahn Jimin was only a lowly C-rank User. He wasn't even able to enter a temple as a disciple. The prospect of him meeting a Saint was almost unimaginable. Yet, he had gotten the opportunity to greet the Gemini Saint. It was the benefit of being Chun Sungjae's friend.

[Really? You are roommates with Sungjae?]

It had happened two years ago when his parents had suddenly passed away. Hahn Jimin's primary residence had been destroyed too. At the time, his friend Chun Sungjae had offered him a room to stay in. Chun Sungjae hadn't asked for rent; he just wanted Hahn Jimin to contribute a little to the grocery fees. This was why the Gemini Saint became interested in Hahn Jimin.

Why?

'Sungjae refused to live at the facility provided by the Gemini Saint.'

Normally, a high-rank disciple like Chun Sungjae would receive a residence from the temple. The residence would be located in a city where the upper class lived. However, Chun Sungjae never used the Gemini Saint's resident facilities. The reason was simple.

'Are you nuts? I can't geek out about Lee Gun-nim over there!'

The Gemini Saint was a Lee Gun hater(?). Chun Sungjae was told that if she found out about his love for Lee Gun, he might be kicked out. Chun Sungjae hadn't wanted to enter a temple that had a bad relationship with Lee Gun. So, he had wondered if he was crazy for doing it.

Despite his quirks, Chun Sungjae was one of the disciples the Gemini Saint treasured. This was why she had come to meet Hahn Jimin. There had to be a reason Chun Sungjae absolutely refused to reside in her facilities. Pondering this, the Gemini Saint had thought Chun Sungjae's roommate might know the reason.

'I didn't tell her anything.' Hahn Jimin explained, "The Gemini Saint kissed it before giving it to me as a present..."

Of course, Sungjae didn't want that sculpture in his living room or his personal room. Therefore, Hahn Jimin had decided to place it in his room...
