Reporter: With this victory, I think Japanese swordsmanship will receive even more global attention. What are your thoughts, Katsuhata?

Katsuhata: I believe all martial arts in the National Exchange Competition have deep meaning, not just swordsmanship. I hope this tournament makes more people enjoy competitive matches, and I want to continue making fans happy by showing good performances.

-A world championship without America is completely meaningless ^^

└ Then what about Korea that couldn’t even participate? (genuinely curious)

└ De Sampaio is essentially America’s representative. Only officially representing Brazil, but all coaching staff are American.

└ Seems someone’s really triggered by Japan’s victoryㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-At 15, she could do this again next year…

└ If she wins twice in a row, she’s just the GOAT.

└ Pride of Asia.

└ She’s literally a human weapon. Who can stop her?

└ NoName was just born in an era when not everyone has fully grown up…

-Japan achieved 4 wins while Korea only has 2 winsㅋㅋㅋㅋ And those were 26 and 11 years agoㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ Can’t someone from Korea just try competing? Looking at the level, they could at least reach quarterfinals.

└ And if they lose in the finals, you’ll all tear them apartㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└ Even Katsuhata was criticized all year after getting eliminated in the quarterfinals last year.

It was hard to avoid news of the finals even without actively searching for it.

The news that Japan had ultimately claimed victory in the Russo-Japanese war spread across all communities.

While the national sentiment that “we must never lose to Japan” pervaded society, congratulatory opinions were not uncommon thanks to the Katsuhata school being particularly friendly toward Korea.

But there was exactly one thing that couldn’t be forgiven, even from the Katsuhata school:

[Katsuhata School embroiled in NoName ‘tampering’ controversy… Posted and deleted SNS post]

[Japan’s National Exchange Competition champion Katsuhata School ‘eyeing’ Korean talent]

It was their unauthorized contact with NoName, who was designated as the post-Ham Chorong prospect.

The government immediately began investigating the facts as they faced a potential crisis.

[Breaking: Foundation’s exclusive negotiation rights do not apply to non-Korean clans]

This was truly troubling news.

Even if tampering was raised as an issue, the conclusion was that there would be no way to stop the Katsuhata school if they decided to be shameless about it.

The Katsuhata school had just won the National Exchange Competition.

Given their visible achievements, it seemed difficult to hold onto Name this time.

-So did NoName really decide to go to Japan?

-If that’s what she wants…

-Life away from home will be tough, Name ㅠㅠ

-I knew it when she was getting close with Emika. Her heart was already gone.

-Escaping Hell-Korea makes sense, but what about those of us left behind!

-Making even the Katsuhata head come personally for recruitment, that’s next levelㄷㄷ

-Should I be happy about this or sad ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Then at some point, the news suddenly stopped.

The government concluded all investigations, and the Cephiron Foundation made no further statements.

-Did they really decide to give up on NoName?

-After everything she’s shown, why give up so easily?

-I’m starting to lose faith in this incompetent country.

-The major clans should step in and stop this! So frustrating!

And that night, news that made fans’ hearts drop came in.

[REAL-TIME EMERGENCY!!!) NoName appeared on Katsuhata Emika’s SHOWROOM broadcast!]

(ipfs://www.showroom-live.com/r/37_katsuhataemika)

We’re screwed, looks like the NoName moving to Japan rumor is basically confirmed?

[Comments]

-What the hell is SHOWROOM?

└ (Author): You don’t know SHOWROOM? It’s a Japanese idol livestreaming app.

└ Who would know that, you weeb.

-How is this not just clickbait?

-Do I need to sign up to watch this?

└ No, viewing is possible.

└ Ugh, I don’t even want to click on itㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“Homework broadcast?”

“Yep yep. I have mandatory streaming hours to fill every month, and I usually upload training videos. I couldn’t do it this month because of Exchange Competition preparations. Couldn’t risk leaking strategies.”

“Ah, that makes sense.”

“So is it okay if I do it here now?”

“Go ahead.”

“Hehe great. I’ll set it up from the prettiest angle.”

While Emika was adjusting the camera, I slouched back in my chair.

The cool sensation of the white leather seat crept up my back.

I opened the window cover briefly to look outside.

Complete darkness where nothing was visible ahead.

A small red light at the wingtip was blinking weakly.

“It will take about 1 hour and 40 minutes to reach Gimpo Airport.”

“Oh… thank you.”

The man in sunglasses sitting across from me kindly informed me.

Feeling a bit self-conscious, I closed the window cover and fidgeted with my hands.

‘I thought taking a private jet would be more comfortable…’

I feel nervous with everyone’s attention focused on us.

It felt exactly like when I was filming “Genius Discovery.”

‘A celebrity’s life isn’t all that comfortable either.’

Since negotiations with the Katsuhata side took so long, Adela and Professor Cheon had already left for Korea.

I was able to stay with the Katsuhata school and observe the battle’s progress.

[How dare you send Emika outside when her stock is rising? I absolutely oppose this even if the sky falls.]

[Can’t we send her for about a month as a vacation? Official activities can wait until after that. Are you saying you want to break the contract made in Katsuhata’s name by the successor?]

[So it’s okay for the successor to join a foreign clan? This will leave a huge stain on Katsuhata’s 200-year history. Master, this is absolutely not an issue to be taken lightly!]

[I’ll consider it seriously, so please think about it positively.]

The former group had 17 people, the latter just Master Akitaro alone. Surprisingly, the latter won.

The threat I had used on the master, he applied directly to the council of elders.

[Take Adela back from Japan? What nonsense is this…!]

The eighty and ninety-year-old grandpas and grandmas grabbed their necks and collapsed like autumn leaves.

How unfair to compete using health as leverage.

Anyway, thanks to Master Akitaro obtaining this reluctant permission, Emika got a sweet vacation.

“All ready! Starting the stream, ahem!”

Emika cleared her throat a few times and completely erased the smile from her face.

I always think she’s really committed to her persona.

A live broadcast from 8,000 meters in the air.

After a brief waiting period, dizzying text filled the hologram densely.

Twissy looks like an angel in comparison to this readability.

“Hello everyone. I’m Katsuhata Emika. It’s been a while since my last livestream, so I’m especially happy to see you all.”

As Emika greeted them, dozens of SD avatars implemented as holograms waved excitedly and sent hearts like little cupids.

‘Where’s the chat window? Ah, found it.’

I copied the chat window from the upper right corner and pulled it toward me.

“Congratulations on becoming the world’s strongest pretty girl. Actually, just ‘world’s strongest’ is enough without the ‘pretty girl’ part. Thank you for the 10-floor tower, BagChamp-san.”

Emika placed her hand on her chest and bowed her head slightly.

I whispered to her asking what a tower was.

“When someone donates 10,000 yen here, a small tower gets built on the side.”

“Not 10,000 won but 10,000 yen? That’s a bit strange.”

“Haha…”

I frowned and watched the broadcast with a sour expression.

‘Compared to these people, Korea was nothing.’

The true monsters created by capitalism all lived in Japan.

Within 5 minutes of the broadcast starting, one viewer had already built a 100-floor tower.

It’s fascinating how real-time competition develops based on tower height.

-Who’s the guest next to you???

-Wow her hands are so small!!!!!

-Is it Yui-chan?

-She looks much younger than Yui-chan.

Emika turned the camera slightly toward me.

“… Konbanwa.”

“Pfft!”

“What?”

“Ah, nothing, heheh.”

Emika suddenly burst into laughter and bit her lower lip hard.

-It’s NoNameNameNameNameName!

-wwwwww so cute!

-Did Name-chan decide to come to Japan?

-The dream combination.

-The current champion and future champion together.

-Why are you here? Where is this?

“We’re at 8,000 meters in the air, let’s have a fun time with our Name-yang.”

Emika nuzzled her cheek against my face and put her arm around my shoulders.

“Why are you like this between girls? It’s uncomfortable, Emika.”

I kept waiting in case the plan went wrong…

I should have just gone to Korea ahead of time.

* * *

“Recruiting Name into the Katsuhata school? There was such a rumor?”

“Ah, the master invited me. That’s why I watched the finals together with him.”

“Really? This is completely news to me.”

Emika covered her gaping mouth with her hand in surprise.

“To get straight to the point, that’s not true. Name will continue to stay in Korea. This plane we’re on is headed to Korea, you know?”

The viewers were thrown into confusion by this sudden news.

It seems the rumor had already spread widely to Japan, with some people even considering me an honorary Japanese citizen.

-Going to Korea?

-I forgot, the National Exchange Competition was held in Japan! So there was no need to take a plane…?

-Why go to Korea anyway?

“Why go to Korea? That’s a very good question. I was actually curious about that too.”

Emika passed the speaking opportunity to me.

I calmly organized my thoughts and explained our purpose.

I spent over a minute elaborately explaining that we were creating a clan in Korea and had designated Emika as a founding member.

This was due to the master’s warning that if this fact became known, there would be significant backlash within Japan as well.

“The founding members are not limited to Katsuhata Emika. To mention just one more person, Cecilia de Sampaio has also agreed to join us.”

As the premium supporting actress who made Emika shine, her public opinion in Japan was very good.

Everyone was half-doubting, half-believing as they poured out numerous questions.

Since this was a place for announcement rather than persuasion, there was no obligation to answer all questions.

“It’s not a transfer but more like a loan, I guess. Right, unnie?”

“Ah yes… maybe?”

The chat window instantly transforms into a battlefield.

“Details will be announced again through Katsuhata’s official SNS. I’m sorry for delivering this news so suddenly.”

Emika apologized while bowing excessively.

The majority of viewers still thought this was a prank.

The truth will be revealed gradually.

While Emika was busy calming people down, I turned on my phone to browse news articles.

There wasn’t anything special.

While passing time reading articles and columns celebrating Japan’s victory, I discovered one breaking news article that had only a title and no content.
