Chapter 156: Townia's Submaster (1) (2)
[Wait, wait! Please! I worked hard on this!]
Iselle hurriedly flew towards .
Whats all this about?
[Its a celebration of Lokis appointnt!]
Appointnt?
Iselle waved her hand in a circle, and a past system log appeared.
A hologram window decorated in white, with a blue potion bottle icon.
It was the research tab.
[Ding!]
[Research, Hero Responsiveness, has reached Lv.10.]
Following that, a guidance ssage appeared.
[You can now appoint a Sub Master!]
[The Sub Master acts as the Masters deputy, overseeing the waiting rooms operations and battles, and assisting in the Masters tower conquest.]
[Tips/Sub Master is granted broader authority. Depending on the situation, the Sub Master can autonomously strategize for tower conquests. Experience the limits of AI that mimics human intelligence!]
I could guess the rest of the log without seeing it.
I closed the hologram window.
So?
[Yep, from now on, Loki is the Sub Master of Townia!]
I dont see why youre making such a fuss about it.
A lethargic Velkist yawned as he walked out.
Beside him were the figures of Jenna and Neryssa. Edis was there too.
What are you all doing here?
I was flabbergasted.
[Everyones here to celebrate ack!]
Iselles cheeks were pulled rcilessly.
Is this your doing?
[No, no, I just I was worried Han might leave Townia]
Dont be so an. That fairy did it thinking of you.
Edis walked out with a smile.
Congratulations, Han. Youve been recognized.
[Ahem, dont get cocky now. Your ranks are different now, you know!]
Should I start using honorifics? Han-nim.
I might die from cringing, so lets not.
If you say so.
Edith laughed and stepped back.
I looked at Iselle.
She was fidgeting with her hands clasped.
[Youre a Sub Master now dont go anywhere strange.]
Was there an issue?
[Well, I heard that a new lucky person entered Niflheimr]
Iselle whispered so only I could hear.
I smirked. She was worrying over nothing.
It must have been Iselle who recomnded
as the Sub Master.
It was a completely different matter from just showing tips.
She must have put in a lot of effort.
Isnt it sothing to celebrate?
Jenna spoke up.
Being a Sub Master is the highest position here, right?
[Ahem, except for the Master.]
I knew I picked the right line.
Jenna winked at .
I said despairingly.
Is this why you all gathered? To offer congratulations?
Youve been looking down lately. Since that incident.
That incident being
Eloka, perhaps.
Sis wouldnt bla you. If I were her, Id feel the sa. You dont have to bla yourself.
I never did.
Then that settles it.
Jenna chuckled and backed away.
Im sleepy. Can I go to bed now?
Stay put.
Neryssa stepped on Velkists foot.
But being a Sub Master, is there anything special about it?
Not really. Its not sothing to celebrate.
Its tireso.
I scratched my head.
Now that Anytng had appointed
as Sub Master, he would be sure to dump various troubleso tasks on .
Well, it was necessary.
I looked around the room.
The assembly mbers were Jenna, Velkist, and Neryssa from the first party, and Edis from the second party.
Additionally, Iselle was included. They were the core mbers responsible for Townia.
Its a pity Kishasha isnt here.
It seems more ti is needed.
I brushed the confetti off my head and sat down on a chair.
Sit down, everyone.
A party?
Hardly.
I laughed.
Itd be a hassle to gather everyone again later. Im just telling you in advance.
mbers took their seats around the rectangular table one by one.
I spread the papers on the table, drawn with the current structure of the waiting room. Although it had beco a four-story building, explaining the situation should be no problem.
Whats this paper for?
Its the structure of our current waiting room. You know, the situation has changed from before. Its crowded with more kids.
I pointed to the first floor of the waiting room.
There are nearly 150 heroes staying on the first floor, right?
[Yes! Nothing much has changed.]
We need new combat mbers. We lost a bunch on the 35th floor. And this will only continue from now on.
I pointed to the third floor.
Well, its practically the fourth floor now.
We need to change the operating thod to smoothly supply forces and for future mission raids.
Isnt that the Masters job?
Of course, that guy will handle the main tasks. But with the huge increase in personnel, it will beco difficult for him to manage alone.
Appointing
as Sub Master was also out of necessity.
When the number of people was small, it was possible to look after each one and decide on their use. But now, the situation is different.
Even when the numbers were small, Anytng wasnt able to make efficient decisions.
After all, he wasnt watching the heroes 24 hours a day.
It was necessary after all.
It was even overdue.
I opened my mouth.
Whats needed for one ruler to efficiently command many?
The faces of the mbers hardened.
Velkist, with his arms crossed, spoke.
Do you an
Are we acknowledging the Master as our ruler?
There.
He didnt hesitate to probe.
Yes.
I nodded.
Velkist frowned unhappily.
I heard the Master considers us re pawns on a chessboard. To him, were just toys, whether we live or die. Plus, were being pushed into these dog-like missions because of him, arent we?
Youre not wrong.
And you want us to help him? I cant agree.
Velkist looked up at the ceiling with a cold laugh.
The sky was in that direction.
All this ti, it was my desire for improvent that kept
alive. If there was anything else, it would be your help, senior.
Has that Master ever helped ? All he does is watch from above and throw us into battle. If you were the Master, I might have agreed. But not him. In my eyes, hes incompetent. Unlike you, senior.
Velkist sneered.
Then Edis raised her hand.
From what I know, we were dragged here because of the Master. We were basically kidnapped.
Kidnapped.
This was also not wrong.
We follow because we dont want to die, we want to live. But if we consider him our ruler, it changes the aning. It ans were cooperating voluntarily.
Lets be clear. Forget being a Sub Master or whatever. Its like a slave bragging about their chains.
I disagree.
What?
Velkists expression soured.
The disappointnt in his gaze turned towards Neryssa.
I think we should help the Master.
This is disappointing. I didnt expect this from you.
Dont judge emotionally. You look like a fool.
Is there a guarantee of reward? Are we supposed to help that bastard who might change his mind and kill us?
This is the way for us to live.
Thats hilarious.
An argunt erupted between them.
[Ah, wait, why is this happening? Were here to celebrate Hans return!]
Iselle fluttered her wings in a panic.
I laughed.
Well, as expected.
