Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist

“Everybody out, out! ”

Do they think the identity's already blown up?

The great El starts kicking out all the challengers inside the money changer.

“No, it's my turn...! ”

“That's it, we're out of hours! ”

“Did you have any business hours? No, if there is such a thing, notice beforehand...! ”

Challengers who had been in the back of Yoon-suk's circle vomited out of their little sanctuary, but El ignored them all like tyrants.

“Uh, do I have to leave, too? Oh, no... I'm going out.”

Fahur, who was accompanying you, mutters in a daze. He soon understands the atmosphere and leaves on his own.

Huff.

El kicks out all the challengers and walks them to the door.

Only Yoon-suk and El are in the room.

El stood in front of Yoon-suk.

Then he recited a line like the final boss in the game.

“Hehe! I've been waiting! ”

“You were waiting...? ”

“Yes. I knew you'd come to the seventh-floor square. ”

You've been waiting?

Suddenly, I was nervous because I didn't know why.

On the other hand, this question continued to be raised.

If he was really waiting, he was embarrassed when he met him, and why did he answer by saying, "I'm not El"?

The answer was soon to be known.

“Well, don't get me wrong. If it weren't for Yoon-suk, I would never have applied for such a trivial task. ”

‘... You're embarrassing him. ’

All questions were answered, but Yoon-suk cared about El and did not notice.

However, I was a little curious about how El was going to overcome the obstacles in the future.

“I see. Can you hear why you've been waiting here for me? Volunteering for work like this doesn't usually mean anything.... ”

“ ……. ”

But once I yelled at him, didn't he think twice about it? Contrary to his expectations, El remained mute with honey.

In the end, Yoon-suk, who was worse than me, decided to provide a hole for El to escape from.

“Are you here for the Blood Necromancer, too? ”

“… Yes, you've already been through it, you know the side effects, right? ”

Elle was braver than I thought.

Yoon-suk realized all the things that had happened to him. He had no idea what he was talking about, and he was naturally told.

I was glad to come with a mask on.

Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hide my smiley face.

This time, Yoon-suk decided to ask El what he wanted to ask about.

“Did you know about the side effects? ”

“… No, I didn't know that. ”

“So that means I've found a solution in the future. So I ask you, can you solve side effects with the power of the Heart of Liberty? ”

“I don't know, but I think it will. ”

“I see. I was anxious, but you came all the way here to tell me.... I was relieved. ”

“… this is a natural thing to do. Yoon-suk is my only contractor. ”

Yoon-suk thought that El's face covered in a hood might be burning hot.

No, I wish.

If a man could lie without changing his face color, he would not be able to trust El in the future.

“Do you think you can buy power here? ”

“No, WP is only available within admin territory. ”

"Zone" means "hut of courtesy."

In other words, we have to go up to the 10th floor to buy the "Heart of Liberty" and solve the side effects.

After the conversation ended, silence came for a moment.

Yoon-suk hesitated and finally talked about it with difficulty.

“Do you know what happened in the sixth floor square? ”

“Yes, I'm always watching you. I'm sorry. I could have said something to you before, but I didn't know the place had changed that much. ”

El apologized for failing to warn you about the situation in the sixth floor square.

It was not a matter for Yoon-suk Han to apologize. Even though I knew it in the beginning, I didn't even know I was there.

However, the point of what I wanted to ask El was this:

“Is what I did right? ”

Of course, the allies on the 6th floor of the square deserved to die. It wasn't until I came to the seventh-floor square that I realized that the referee's mark might not be absolute.

Perhaps the side effects of the hematoma made his vision narrower unknowingly.

That's why I wanted to hear El's opinion.

El saves his words for a long time and opens his mouth calmly.

“At least for me... Yes, Yoon-suk isn't wrong. ”

Good and evil are subjective, or just because they killed hundreds of bad people and saved dozens of lives.

El didn't give me a reason to say a sentence.

I just said that.

Somehow, that was a relief.

“As I said before, I want you to live with no obligations. So... ”

El speaks decisively.

“Go where you want to go. No matter where it leads. My only wish is that you are not tied anywhere. I will carry the remnants of that footprint with me if I have to. ”

There was never an El that looked like the previous one.

There was only one reliable woman like the one who said that no one would harm Yoon-suk here at the time of the first encounter.

Yoon-suk Hana decided not to lean on her.

“It doesn't have to be. ”

There was just a little bit of confusion.

I had no intention of running from the beginning.

“If I have to take responsibility someday, I won't be able to pass it on to anyone else. ”

Even with Yoon-suk's firm tone, El did not feel bad at all.

Rather, I smiled as if I knew it would be.

“If that's what Yoon-suk wants, fine. Do that.”

This topic was also built.

I guess the ambassadors were quite unfamiliar when I thought about it later. There is a awkward silence between the two.

Soon, Yoon-suk bowed to El.

“Thank you.”

I mean it.

I saved him from the Celestial Patriarch at the time, and quietly supported him by doing this.

Even if it wasn't, El's power was incredibly helpful. If not, he could have seen the evil on the sixth floor and failed to fulfill his will because he was powerless.

“I'm really glad I made a deal with you. ”

There was no rhetoric for this.

If he were more eloquent, he could show all the sincerity with a softer expression.

Hanael was more satisfied than anything else.

Obviously clumsy and clumsy, but I could feel it even more louder.

“I'm glad I made a contract with Yoon-suk. I really do.”

The mask is on one side, the hood is pressed firmly on the other, and the smile is faint and invisible to each other.

* * *

After a few more words with El, Yoon-suk broke up. Fahur is waiting outside the money changer.

“What happened? Are you familiar with the staff? ”

“I know you, and you're the manager I signed up with. ”

“Huh! I guess the rumors were true! ”

All the managers who had seen in the aspirational auction seemed absolute.

Is that why?

It was an unbelievable look on Fahur's face that they were doing this for the sake of the challengers.

“By the way, are you sure you want to keep that door closed? ”

“It will reopen soon. ”

“Then we'll have to wait a little longer. ”

“No, just go. They gave me enough to stop using the AP. ”

“That sounds like allowance from my wife... No, I envy you! If you don't mind, could you buy me an ice cream? ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon-suk went to the ice cream shop with Fahur. The staff was a fairly mild-looking man, who was quite enthusiastic about encouraging challengers and doing business.

‘Surely he's a manager like El, too? ’

Even that guy who looked like he had a job as a trader thought he was a challenger who had reached the end, he felt something strange.

Yoon-suk and Fahur sat at the square fountain, holding one ice cream at a time.

“If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about what happened on Earth. ”

“Of course! Don't you have to pay for ice cream? ”

Whether it was thanks to his sweet mouth, Fahur recited in chronological order what he had experienced in more detail and kindness than before.

“The first time you go to another dimension, you arrive at a random location. In my case, it was in a mountain in Seoul. Oh, Seoul is a city in Korea. ”

“… I know where Seoul is. ”

In Latte Drip, I was wondering if it really had something to do with Korea.

Thanks to this, I could gather information about Korea naturally without revealing that I am from Korea.

After that, Yoon-suk sought out information about Korea as little as possible. And the more I became aware of the situation in Korea, I had to put a bitter smile on my mouth.

When asked for information about the South Korean challenger group, Fahur said, "Just cut."

“That's crazy. ”

“Madness, can you tell me more? ”

“Unlike other countries that treat challengers extremely, they only think of them as good tools to use. ”

It turned out that their behavior was indeed a shameful act.

An unknown challenger appeared in Korea?

The Korean Challenger Group found them and forced them to join the military.

In the process, the abduction was a daily multireflection, and he did not hesitate to catch the family. I ignored both law and deceit in the name of public power.

And collecting them....

It was not a combat ability to help deter trials or invaders, but rather to learn to help the planet.

“What they wanted was some serious healing skills. The target was rich people with diseases that modern medicine can't fix. ”

Fahur said that with a disgusting face.

“It's a good thing we couldn't get this stuff over here, or they would have put a knife to their families' throats to buy healing potions. ”

South Korea exploited the challengers to generate astronomical profits, but the cost of returning to the challengers was minimal.

“That's why I migrated to the United States. ”

Fahur, who gradually adapted to Earth society, received a scout from an American group, heard the terms and went away.

And I spent a very satisfactory day there, and the AP fell and got me tested again.

“I was anxious because I lost three consecutive times, but I think I'll be able to relax for a while thanks to the ball. ”

Fahur, who said he was going to invest about a tenth of his AP in tickets and go back to Earth, told us things like that after that.

There were many things similar to small talk, but Yoon-suk listened carefully, not missing each one.

It was then.

“Speaking of Korea, I suddenly think of this. A new trail of unregistered challengers has been discovered in Korea recently. Well, it happens all the time, but is he involved with the Second Reichsmanship this time? It was a bit unusual. ”

The Second Anniversary?

Yoon-suk suddenly felt an unknown anxiety about the word that appeared.

“Can you elaborate? ”

“Even if you say that, it's just a story I heard crossing the street. I don't know. Besides, I don't know what happened after the ticket deadline ran out. ”

“A little bit of information, or you could be wrong. Just say what you remember. ”

Whether it was information that was really passing by, Fahur opened his mouth, reliving his memory.

“Well……. I was tracking the trail of an unregistered challenger who was originally found at the Abandoned Works, but I think I found out it wasn't just one, it was two. But after digging up the other one, it looks like there was something wrong with Korean financials. ”

Why do my ominous premonitions fit so well?

Yoon-suk couldn't deny it anymore.

That was his story.

‘Did you find out about me while chasing after Lee Chang-hoon? How the hell?

We didn't know how to track them.

There's only one thing that matters.

“After all, I pity only the challenger who was caught by the Korean government……. ”

“... Poor thing, what do you mean? ”

“I didn't say that. Those guys are crazy. They really don't cover fire. Either you've managed to kidnap the challenger now, or you're just waiting to return to Earth with your family. ”

It was just the fact that there was a lot of rubbish here, there and there.

“I see.”

Yoon-suk smiled really, really cold.

I have a reason to go back at least a day early.
