The incident was quickly resolved.
There were no casualties, and the injuries were minor, so it did not escalate into a big deal.
No, it almost escalated into a big deal, but the governnt did its best to clean up the ss.
Maiden wanted to make so foreign currency with the educational labyrinth, but she could not afford to leave an issue after she made such a big mistake in the first demonstration.
Anyway, at the end of the governnt’s cleanup, the [Poseidon Runaway Incident] was treated as a kind of terror.
One of the villains who had a grudge against Maiden had rigged a special device on the labyrinth materials, and it was activated. Sothing like that.
Most of the cadets who faced Poseidon at the ti of the incident seed to believe the governnt’s claim.
“The governnt is really sloppy with information manipulation.”
Except for Jia.
“Maiden Critines couldn’t have missed the special device on the materials. Maybe they ran out of ti and there was a loophole in safety managent, and it was destroyed by the influence of Si-yeon and Seo-yul’s ice and fire attribute magic. Sothing like that.”
“…”
“If this spreads, it will cause problems for the future labyrinth business, so they will lie.”
“…Well, that’s true.”
The final blow was my [Spirit’s Fla], but except for that, it was a plausible hypothesis.
Jia was really amazing with her brain power when it ca to things that had nothing to do with .
Honestly, it was scary.
“By the way, Seo-yul. Are you okay to move your body now?”
“Hmm.”
I moved my hands back and forth to see if there was any discomfort.
“I think I’m fine.”
“That’s good.”
After using Divine Punishnt yesterday.
I collapsed from magic exhaustion.
I had used [Spirit’s Fla] before, so I was low on magic itself.
And I used [Relic] to amplify the effect of Divine Punishnt, which put a strain on my body.
If I hadn’t used [Mana’s Grace] to activate the [Magic Response] trait, I would have suffered more severe aftereffects.
“But Seo-yul. I understand that it was burdenso to unseal in front of everyone. But did you have to use lightning attribute magic as well?”
Jia asked with a worried expression.
“No matter what, dual attribute seems too conspicuous… What if you get suspected by the enemies…”
Enemies.
It ant the axis of evil that would destroy the world in the war that would co soday.
Jia knew that I was sealing my power to avoid their eyes, so she was naturally worried.
“It’s okay. As long as I don’t release ‘Gyeok’, they won’t detect .”
So I decided to lie again today.
“Gyeok… what do you an?”
Jia tilted her head slightly.
“You know. The strange energy I felt when I closed the Great Rift. Rember? The tingling pressure. What should I call it? Radiance or sothing.”
It wasn’t exactly what she felt from , but from the ‘Anti-Vaccine’ that Shin hyung made.
I felt it too.
“Oh. That feeling. That’s Gyeok…”
Jia seed convinced.
“So as long as I don’t release Gyeok, it doesn’t matter how much attention I get from the dia, right? As long as they don’t detect .”
“That’s right.”
“Aha.”
Jia nodded as if she understood.
Whew.
Good.
My lie was perfect today too.
“By the way, speaking of dia. That…”
I asked hesitantly.
“Is there a lot of interest?”
“Yes.”
“…How much?”
“Hmm…”
Jia pursed her lips and thought for a mont.
“Think of the most popular top star in your mind.”
Suddenly, many top stars ca to mind.
“Did you think?”
“…Yeah.”
I felt a vague anxiety.
Surely I’m not that level?
“Roughly three tis that much.”
“…Huh?”
Did I hear wrong?
“What?”
“I said three tis as much as the top stars you just thought of.”
“…Wow.”
It seed like I didn’t hear wrong.
“Is it really that much?”
“Yes. Dual attribute is that special of a constitution. It may not be so special for elves or celestials though.”
Jia folded her fingers one by one and continued.
“Plus, your magic manipulation skills have been proven to be excellent. You always get perfect scores on written tests, and you’ve received rare reviews for your command skills since recent test videos were released.”
“…”
“And recently, your physical abilities have risen uniformly to E rank, and your growth expectations have skyrocketed. Finally, with a perfect lightning strike that sent Poseidon, an Elite guardian, in one hit, and a heroic story that you prevented the villain’s terror with the governnt’s information manipulation.”
Jia smiled faintly.
“How can you not be popular in this situation?”
“…That’s true.”
I had no choice but to use them at the ti, but when I put them together like this, it beca a trendous combination.
“But, well, this kind of interest is montary. It will fade away soon like last ti, right?”
Interest is fleeting.
If I think about the last ti I had a fire attribute strong period, this popularity would be temporary too.
“Well…”
Jia trailed off with a strange expresSi-yeon.
“Seo-yul.”
And then she smiled brightly.
“Cheer up!”
“…”
This was the first ti I heard such an anxious cheer.
* * *
Jia was right.
This interest was different from the last ti I had a fire attribute period.
“Kang cadet Seo-yul! If you co to our Zereon Guild…”
“We’re from KBC Broadcasting! Can we do an interview?”
“I heard that The One Guild also sent you a call! Is that true?”
“What’s the secret of your good looks?”
As soon as I stepped out of the hospital, I was surrounded by a crowd.
I wanted to go back to my room.
“When did you find out that you have a dual attribute?”
“Your ability growth trend is quite steep! Do you have any secrets?”
“Do you have any tips for magic manipulation?”
There were more reporters than scouts.
When I got attention for having a fire attribute strong period last ti, there were only a handful of reporters.
“The only superhuman in the world with a dual attribute has erged in Korea, and the expectations of the Korean people are huge. Do you have anything to say?”
“With this montum, it’s possible to be the first Korean to rank first in the world superhuman ranking! What do you think about that?”
I understood the aning of this popularity right away.
This is a kind of ‘national pride’.
Sohow, when a Korean person stands out in the world, they feel proud and stuff.
I also used to feel proud when I saw articles about Son Heung-min, Kim Yuna, and BTS doing well in the world when I was in the world.
“There’s a rumor that you’re going to join Shinwa Group. Is that true?”
“Is there a special relationship with Shin Jia?”
“There’s also a rumor that you have a special relationship with Ha Si-yeon…”
By the way, the reporters’ enthusiasm was really beyond imagination.
If I say sothing wrong here, I think it will really go wrong.
But I can’t stay like this forever.
What should I do…
That’s when I was lost in thought.
“Co on. Can you all make way please?”
Suddenly appeared next to , Yoo Hwa smiled as usual and said.
“Yoo Hwa!”
“There’s a rumor that you et frequently with Bihon Guild Leader! Is that true?”
“According to the rumor, you have three legs…”
“Really, even as a reporter, I’m jealous of you as a man…”
The reporters were more excited by Yoo Hwa’s appearance.
Looking at those reporters, Yoo Hwa smiled coldly.
“I understand that you are all interested in Korea’s top-notch prospect. But Kang Seo-yul cadet still has so aftereffects from his injury.”
With Yoo Hwa’s words, the hot air cooled down.
“If there is any problem later because of those aftereffects… Will you take responsibility for it, reporters here?”
“…That’s…”
The reporters were quiet.
Wow. She really stabbed them like that.
It was a godly move.
“If you all understand, please make way.”
With that, the reporters started to make way little by little.
But their faces were full of complaints.
“Thank you. I’ll try to make a place for an interview with cadet Kang Seo-yul later, so don’t think too badly. The health of our top-notch prospect is the priority, right? Are you okay? Cadet Kang Seo-yul .”
“Oh. Yes. I’m fine.”
At that mont, most of the reporters’ expressions softened.
“Do you also give priority to interviews?”
“Of course. The reporters here deserve it.”
“…Then…”
With that, all the complaints disappeared.
The scouts were pushed aside by Yoo Hwa and couldn’t even open their mouths.
“Oh.”
Using the charisma of an S-rank superhuman and the attention of the world to shut up the reporters.
And using carrots such as interview priority to get rid of the reporters’ complaints.
This is experience.
“Let’s go.”
“Ah, yes.”
I followed Yoo Hwa.
“Get in.”
I got into the limousine that Yoo Hwa had prepared.
Then Yoo Hwa got in next to .
“Driver. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
That’s how we left the reporters and scouts behind.
“Phew. I’m exhausted.”
It seed like I had been tornted for about 10 minutes, and I was drained.
Yoo Hwa pressed a button, and a wall was created in the front seat.
It seed like a device to have a secret conversation in the back seat.
“Reporters are much more extre, right?”
“Yes.”
It was different from the polite response of the scouts.
If the scouts were coffee, the reporters would be T.O.P.
“Why did you use lightning attribute magic there?”
…Why?
I did it because it was the only way to survive.
“What are you trying to do by gathering so much attention?”
Yoo Hwa looked at with a strange expression.
“Is it to be a bait to lure the Saviors of Truth?”
National competition trip goal.
Attention gathering.
Information specialized for the Saviors of Truth.
When I put these things together, it wasn’t so strange that Yoo Hwa ca to that conclusion.
“Yes. That’s right.”
I affird.
“…You’re not denying it for once?”
“You must have been 99% sure after the Vagabond incident. What my purpose is.”
Yoo Hwa paused for a mont and said.
“To erase the Saviors of Truth from this world completely. Right?”
That confident look.
See. She already had a conclusion in her mind.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“…I see.”
Yoo Hwa nodded a few tis.
She looked a bit complicated.
I expected her to have a relieved expression after hearing my answer.
What is she thinking?
“Where are we going by the way?”
It’s not the way to school.
“Oh. Look at . I forgot sothing important.”
Yoo Hwa snapped out of his thoughts.
“We’re going to Okhwadang.”
“…Suddenly?”
It’s 5:40 p.m. now.
School classes are almost over. And it’s ti for dinner too.
I’m fine with that, but
“Why?”
Yoo Hwa wouldn’t take soone who just got out of the hospital anywhere.
Unless there’s a special reason.
“You said you wanted to have a al with and my sister.”
“…Oh.”
World ranking 32nd superhuman.
Dungeon creator.
Maiden Critines.
I did say I wanted to have a al with later after dealing with Poseidon.
I thought it would be nice to make friends with Maiden on this occasion.
Life is ‘connections’.
…And I have sothing I want to propose too.
“But isn’t Maiden busy right now? Because of the situation cleanup.”
“That’s true. But my sister can’t stand it if she has sothing curious.”
“Oh.”
That ans she’s very interested in .
“She’s curious about sothing, but she also seems to have hurt her pride in many ways. You did such a clean job of conquering her.”
“Haha.”
“And she also wanted to talk about so compensation for helping her clean up the Poseidon incident. My sister is very thorough when it cos to gratitude and resentnt.”
“Yes. I know that.”
Payback five tis for gratitude.
Payback 500 tis for resentnt.
Maiden Critines’ motto.
“Anyway, you can expect so rewards.”
“Yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
And she has a very big grudge against the Saviors of Truth.
Please donate…😒
