A religion that worships Awakened Ones as apostles of God. Jushinkyo.
The prominence of Jushinkyo varied slightly from country to country.
Thanks to Seol Ha-yeon, South Korea experienced fewer upheavals and Jushinkyo was relatively weak.
The only believers left were old grandfathers and grandmothers.
On the other hand, in other countries that dealt with both Gates and rampaging villains?
The chaotic public sentint and prolonged fear gave rise to a form of escapist faith.
In countries with a tragic history involving Awakened Ones, Jushinkyo thrived.
In that sense, Vietnam.
A country that had been overthrown by villains a few years ago and lived every day like a zombie apocalypse.
It was inevitable that Jushinkyo would deeply root itself in such a country.
[Mr. Bo. When an S-rank Gate breaks out in the future….]
‘What is he talking about when we have a top-secret operation the day after tomorrow? I can’t just brush it off.’
In Vietnam, Jushinkyo’s influence was so significant that even Bo couldn’t disregard it.
Who was Bo?
A newly erged divinity in the despairing land of Vietnam.
A patriot who generously dedicated his abilities to the liberation of his holand.
A hero whose feats surpassed even those of his nasake, President Bojji Kkong.
Won would faint in joy upon encountering him in a shelter, mistaking him for a heavenly figure.
Even such a person like Bo found it hard to defy their will, illustrating the power of Jushinkyo in Vietnam.
This was why Bo couldn’t ignore their proposal to have Yu-jin accompany them to the S-rank Gate.
[I’m sorry. The liberation of Vietnam is the top priority for our Liberation Army….]
[Rebuilding Hanoi requires astronomical amounts of money. Actually, we’ve recently received this much in donations from other branches.]
[I’ll think very positively about it, elders.]
…To be honest, it was partly because capitalism had us in its grip. Anyway.
So, the proposal was conveyed to Yu-jin.
Would he join the S-rank Gate strategy?
How did Yu-jin, who was eating blood sausage soup, react to the sudden proposal?
“What? Why are they suddenly saying sothing comndable?”
‘Sweet. I thought it would take years before I could attempt an S-rank Gate.’
He considered it a stroke of luck.
S-rank Gates were extrely dangerous labyrinths, but they were also places of imnse gain.
Artifacts, as they were called, could only be obtained there.
The extre danger also ant rapid growth in abilities.
On top of that, people would treat them as heroes for saving the world.
To Yu-jin, an S-rank Gate was a treasure trove.
And the fact that he could go there already?
Yu-jin was so thrilled that his shoulders shook with joy.
“Of course, I’d love to go.”
“You’re quite eager. Do you know how dangerous it is? Even a single hit from a low-tier monster could kill you with your current strength.”
“I just need to avoid getting hit.”
“That’s what’s impossible about an S-rank Gate.”
Of course, contrary to his thoughts.
S-rank Gates were not easy at all.
Except for Korea’s Cheonhwa Clan, the strongest force of Awakened Ones, it was impossible to conquer an S-rank Gate without S-rank Awakened Ones.
Even Bo, who could see the future, couldn’t let his guard down in such a labyrinth.
There was a reason countries with S-rank Gates were willing to spend a fortune to bring Bo.
It was that dangerous.
However,
“Can I bring Alice and Shia too? They are my… ahem, comrades.”
“Do you think this is a picnic? I only told you because it’s you. Taking rookies to an S-rank Gate….”
“I’ll persuade my teacher to co along too.”
“That changes everything.”
If S-rank number one, Ninomiya Aika, joined?
Strategy? More like a picnic.
They could spread a mat and eat kimbap while waiting, and Aika would handle everything.
Bo nodded in agreent.
“You’ll have to talk to Seol Ha-yeon about that, but I don’t mind.”
“Huh. I thought you’d be angry for dragging my teacher into this, but you’re not?”
Yu-jin was puzzled.
Why wasn’t he objecting to bringing a dragon-slaying sword to a cow slaughter? What if the students got caught up in it?
Why was he so readily permitting it?
With wide eyes, Yu-jin stared at Bo.
Bo just smiled softly with his chin rested on his hand.
‘Oh, how cute. Did you want to go on a date with Ninomiya that badly?’
[Actually, my teacher is cute, pretty, and lovely….]
‘What’s so good about that gorilla? This guy’s taste in won is strange.’
Recalling Yu-jin’s words from a mont ago,
It was just a natural expression of his love for his wife…
But to Bo?
Oh. He thought there was soone he liked among the three won, so he was going to teasingly ask who it was.
Ah, so it’s Ninomiya?
That’s how he interpreted it.
‘The excuse of bringing in new recruits… was just a pretext. He was afraid Ninomiya wouldn’t co with him.’
ntioning Shia and Alice was just a clumsy excuse.
He wanted to go on a date so badly that he dragged in his comrades.
Well, I can protect Yu-jin on my own.
Yu-jin would vaguely know that too.
To go on a date with his teacher, he brought along his comrades.
To protect his friends.
Bo found Yu-jin’s intentions so adorable that he couldn’t help but laugh.
‘Sigh. He doesn’t even realize that Ninomiya is trying to eat him alive. So naive, so naive.’
However, Bo considered Yu-jin’s actions futile.
Because he had seen it clearly.
A future where, without his intervention, Yu-jin would collapse, coughing up blood, with his pants down.
Lastly…
Ninomiya’s mouth, strangely sared with saliva.
Oh. Did she gobble him up because he couldn’t stand up?
With drool all over her mouth greedily?
That’s how the scene looked to him.
Ninomiya had tried to sexually assault, or rather, rape him.
So, if he just confessed, it would be a pure love confird imdiately.
What was this oblivious guy doing?
‘The reason for coughing up blood… he’s a decent guy. He must have used hypnosis to stop the rampaging Ninomiya, like he did in that hospital.’
Bo now understood why Yu-jin had coughed up blood.
His video of treating 100 psychiatric patients.
He had fainted with a nosebleed right after.
People who saw that video assessed the limits of hypnosis as?
Powerful but with a significant cost.
It causes overload with use, similar to Bo’s ability.
Of course, that was just an act.
Yu-jin’s hypnosis could be used sixteen tis per second with no cost…
But Bo had no idea such an absurd ability existed.
Especially since Yu-jin had just coughed up blood and made an excuse, saying it was just a side effect of his power.
Even soone ranked 7th in S-rank like Bo couldn’t help but misunderstand.
There had to be clear limits to hypnosis.
Like his own future vision, it must have been a difficult ability to use.
‘The information he gave must have been hard to get, even coughing up blood… How am I supposed to repay this kindness?’
Along with a sense of camaraderie, gratitude surged within him.
The crucial information for hunting down the necromancer.
The blood Yu-jin must have coughed up while obtaining it…
The significance of giving away such valuable information so easily.
The weight of the favor he owed was clear.
‘———Fine. I’ll help you with your love life. I’ll turn that gorilla into your ideal type. At least, I’ll make her more human.’
Thus, Bo made up his mind.
To correct Ninomiya, the would-be rapist.
Before his friend’s rose-tinted glasses were removed.
Before the would-be rapist evolved into a real one.
‘Telling him the reality would be best, but… he’s already fallen for her. Should I use so of my power for a friend?’
– Smile.
‘Why is he smiling like a fox? He’s cute but annoying.’
…His resolve was annoyingly cute.
Unable to hold back, Yu-jin poured the radish soup from his stew into Bo’s bowl.
In response, Bo pouted and puffed his cheeks.
Despite this, Bo’s resolve remained unchanged.
Yu-jin would lant if he knew and wondered why Bo was doing sothing pointless.
* * *
The drinking session with Bo was quite enjoyable.
Stew and a bottle of soju. A karaoke battle when tipsy. Another bottle of soju at a sushi restaurant for the second round.
We drank until I reached my limit.
As a result, my steps wobbled as I headed to the academy.
“Bo, I had fun today….”
“Oh dear. You called a lightweight, but you pass out after just two bottles.”
“A real man doesn’t make a fool of himself, no matter how drunk he gets!”
“This guy is definitely drunk.”
Next to , Bo walked with a slightly flushed face.
The way he looked up at anxiously in case I might fall was so cute it made angry.
Annoyed, I changed the subject.
“Anyway. If an S-rank Gate breaks out, you’re taking us, right?”
“Yes. Ninomiya Aika, Yu-jin, Alice Littlewood, Yu Shia. You four. This is the fifth ti you’ve asked.”
“Yeah, yeah. Hehe….”
I checked multiple tis because it was important.
The confirmation that we could join the S-rank Gate strategy.
Feeling good, I started to laugh.
‘Is it about a month away? When the S-rank Gate will break.’
S-rank Gates didn’t appear often worldwide…
But one was about to break soon.
It was the one Bo had conquered before my regression.
‘If I make a na for myself there, my range of activities will widen significantly.’
Participating was a huge opportunity.
Originally, I wouldn’t be recognized as S-rank for a few more years.
Not until I overwhelmingly carried the S-rank Gate that broke out in Korea.
But if I went and carried it with Bo?
I could make my value known to the whole world.
The fa and bank account balance I’d gain would be imnse.
And, more importantly,
‘Showing off in front of my wives? I can’t resist that.’
A young man fighting splendidly even in an S-rank Gate.
His wives’ affection for him soaring.
Ah, what if they all fell for and confessed?
Should I try lifting the chastity hypnosis in advance?
These thoughts made laugh endlessly.
“Hehe. Confession….”
“Pfft. Hey, hey. We’re almost at the dorm, so pull yourself together.”
“Ah, already?”
As I walked through the night, I found myself in front of the dormitory.
I quickly opened the door.
I was getting sleepy.
-Bang!
“Master~!! Your disciple is back~!!”
“Disciple? Well, I… um, I…”
“The disciple is going to bed early! The world’s most beautiful angel master! See you tomorrow~!!”
Without looking back, I headed straight to the bathroom.
My stomach was full, and I felt tipsy.
I planned to just brush my teeth and go straight to bed.
“An angel, you say….”
-Whisper, whisper.
“Ninomiya. Listen carefully. Yu-jin is….”
“……Gasp!!?”
Behind , Bo and my master were talking about sothing…
Oh well. It was probably nothing important.
* * *
The next day.
“Disciple. Breakfast is ready, so get up quickly. It’s salmon ochazuke, good for hangovers, so even if your stomach hurts, you can eat it….”
“Master. What on earth are you wearing?”
“Oh, this? Bojji Kkong said n like this. So, how is it?”
“…….”
What nonsense did Bo fill my master’s head with?
