I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



The two days the nymph lady said before turned into an entire week. During which, Hye kept resting, eating the delicacies brought by the servants of the impact to his place, and spent all of his time listening to the recording beads.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave. After all, he wanted to secure this deal to secure another way to gain more worlds. Not to mention the formation he wanted to establish was the cornerstone for many of his future plans.

So even if she took a month, he wouldn't complain. Luckily for him he got tons of the beads that got information and history he wasn't aware of. And that made him quite amused and not getting bored or anxious by his stay here.

During this time, he also made sure to contact his family, girls and kids, from time to time. They were quite anxious for his departure, always showing a worried and sad look over their faces.

Hye reassured them that things were going ok, but he'd take a little longer than the one-week period he initially thought of. At the same time, he asked them to keep preparing the armies and make them ready to mobilise at any notice.

Hye stayed inside that room for a week, then the lady nymph returned. From the look on his face, she knew he didn't get enough sleep. And from the look on her face, he knew she got good and bad news.

Her face wasn't gloomy, but she was clearly carrying bad news. "You didn't sleep that much, if you want you can keep these beads. We have more copies of them everywhere."

"Thanks," Hye didn't act polite and took all the recording beads from the shelves, a move that got an elevated eyebrow from her.

"Anyway, tell me what happened," Hye said while collecting the beads shamelessly, "I can tell you have bad news."

"And good news as well."

"But start with the bad, I hate to end the talk with bad news rather than good ones," Hye shrugged, "just throw it in my face."

"Them," she sighed, "there is a bunch of bad news, not just one."

"For real?" Hye paused for a moment before laughing, "don't tell me the Hescos are coming here."

"Well… That happened," when she said it, she expected Hye to freeze, have his body trembling, or show any sign of fear or worry. Yet he didn't do any of that. In fact, he kept collecting the beads without any worry or pause.

"Aren't you afraid?!!" seeing him like this made her unable to control her surprise.

"I already knew they would come," he shrugged, "and I'm sure they have lots of eyes over me and my kingdom. So it's expected for them to find me soon."

"But… They are sending an army here," her face didn't look that good, "and the higher ups are panicking."

"Good for them," Hye didn't even show a single sign of care or worry.

"Come on! You do know we can't fight them!"

"Then flee," Hye shrugged, "I'm sure they aren't here for you, but for me. So when I'm gone, spread the word and they'll chase after me like bees after honey."

"..."

His calm and coolness made her unable to say a single word. "Just tell me the rest, what else?" she kept her silence, only glaring at Hye until the latter finished what he was doing.

"Tsk! I don't know if you are acting cool or if you are fearless… Anyway, their army is five days away from here. If we move out now, we can outrun them."

"We? Are you coming with me?!"

"As you said, it's better for us to run away, hahahaha," she finally broke free from the fear spell she was under, "we are going to move away from here. I'll come to guide you around."

"Don't tell me you are going to shut down your business," Hye joked, and she rolled her eyes in return.

"They are here for you, not us. Once we evacuate the world, we'll seal and shut it down. After a few months, we'll return back and continue operating from here."

"Good," Hye paused, "tell me what else you have in here?" he pointed to his head, and she bitterly smiled.

"I know you said any price will do, but the negotiations with the impacts responsible for remodelling these worlds didn't go that well."

"Because?"

"They interfered," she sighed, "in fact, they learnt about your presence here from this."

"For real?" Hye didn't know this, but when the Bringold impact started asking around, few eyes got attracted over this issue. After all, it wasn't common for a low-grade impact to ask for such service, and in such a grand number.

Soon the Hescos started to link the dots. They dug up everything Hye did in the past, and knew he had ties with the Bringold impact.

Even without proof, they sent out an army to investigate the impact. And that was how things went seriously in the past few days.

The nymph lady explained what happened, and Hye couldn't help but lament his bad luck. It was indeed hard to fight against the number one race. And they weren't the type to take their grudges lightly.

"At least you reached a deal with one impact, right?" Hye threw all this behind his back. If things went like he planned, then no one would be able to stop him.

"The grand formation impact agreed but asked for a scary figure in return for doing this," she sighed, "we tested the bones you gave to us. If we used the gold grade bones, then we'll need a staggering number of one hundred million of them. If we used any lower grade bone, we'll need much higher than that, billions even…"

"No problem," Hye knew she was feeling like this thanks to the old experience of them doing business before. He always traded in a low number of bones, never showed her the true and scary financial might of his.
