[Fellow citizens.]

The president stands at the central podium of the Busan World Cup Stadium to address the nation and speaks through the TV screen.

[We are ready. One month from now, the qualifying rounds for the Talented World Cup will begin.]

Of course, what the President is referring to is the World Cup for Talented Persons, which is of ‘everyone’s interest’.

If there is a reason why there is talk about the World Cup at this time, right before the holidays, it is because the entire Republic of Korea was anxious from the last Lunar New Year until Chuseok.

[In the meantime, we had many things going on. There were many things that were difficult to mention directly, and each time the world looked at us with suspicion.]

Is it really safe for Korea to host the World Cup?

[They talked. Korea’s land is too small to hold a World Cup for talented people. It may be a battle between A-classes, but the Korean Peninsula is said to be too small for a battlefield where S-classes clash.]

It actually did.

If two S-class people fight to the death with all their might, the city center of a city with a population of 100,000 will be easily destroyed. Is it really safe to build a World Cup stadium on the Korean Peninsula?

at all.

If the apartment complex next door collapses due to an earthquake caused by a match between S-class players, the World Cup itself could be halted.

People were anxious.

The host of the World Cup, and the World Cup of Talented Persons in which ‘S-class’ players participate for the first time, cannot be lost to other countries.

[Someone talked about the plains of Manchuria. Someone mentioned Red Square. Someone even talked about Greenland.]

And that anxiety turned out to be the ambition of each country to block the hosting of the World Cup in Korea for ‘legitimate and appropriate reasons’ and to take advantage of that advantage.

China, Russia, the EU, and the entire world claimed that they were the right environment to host the World Cup.

[They talked. Wouldn’t it be better for their own land to be destroyed rather than the beautiful Geumsugang Mountain on the Korean Peninsula being destroyed for no reason? There are no houses within a 10km radius, so even if the entire area is destroyed, there will be no problem.]

When an area about 10km from the center of an explosion is devastated, how many places on the Korean Peninsula can there be that can minimize civilian damage?

Is there a World Cup stadium on the Korean Peninsula that is easily accessible to many people, where spectators can enter and exit directly, and where there are no major problems in building a stadium?

Someone talked about the old North Korean land.

However, it is absurd to develop that place and turn it into a World Cup stadium.

[For the past year, our biggest goal has been to create a ‘safe stadium.’ This is because only when safety is ensured can people with special abilities demonstrate their full potential.]

Simply put.

[We had to prepare the stadium so that there would be no problems even if the S-classes clashed, and so that those who were unable to show their full strength because they were concerned about the spectators and citizens could truly show their power.]

This is essentially blocking them from later making excuses such as ‘I couldn’t put in full power because I was afraid the audience would get hurt.’

[And now we have a stadium where everyone in the stands is safe no matter what fight breaks out inside the stadium.]

The President spread his arms.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wall of ice appeared, blocking the stadium and the stands.

The ice wall was so thin and transparent that I was able to see beyond it with more discomfort than through a transparent glass window.

[Now, we have the safest stadium in the world. No matter who fights inside, no citizens will be harmed by fighting inside the stadium. Citizens!]

The President shouted, clenching his fists.

[Korea is safe!!]

* * *

“I started to feel anxious after just one pose.”

“You shouldn’t feel anxious. After a long time, I stepped forward and created the safest stadium in the world.”

Baek Seol-hee twitched the corners of her mouth, pointing to the president’s speech on TV.

“If Baek Seol-hee goes around Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, and Busan and creates a barrier, the S-class members will be able to fight to their heart’s content. That’s it then.”

“I think they will try to use their skills against the ice wall rather than fighting each other.”

“Hmph, I say so. My walls will never fall down.”

Baek Seol-hee created magic with a confident face.

“It’s not meant to be used as a practice sandbag for S-class players, but to protect the citizens in the stands.”

“Okay. When you want to protect yourself, you are stronger than anyone else. Thanks to that…”

Among the community’s responses, I found an article that was suitable to show to Baek Seol-hee and showed it to her.

“There is a saying like this.”

[KIWOO_TYPE_CHOI]: Wasn’t Baek Sul-hee’s pregnancy and awakening the cause for the creation of the safest World Cup stadium? If it wasn’t for Baek Sul-hee, the World Cup would have been held over there in China.

“Hehe, I know very well that people owe it to me.”

Baek Seol-hee pointed to the west with a triumphant look on her face.

“I feel really sorry for China. They must have bet everything on failing to build a World Cup stadium in Korea and built the stadium.”

“The construction that took a year of hard work should just be left as a landmark. Use it as a different sports stadium.”

The World Cup is scheduled to be held in Korea, but it will not actually be held there.

For that one possibility, China has already built a stadium exclusively for people with special abilities on a large area of land.

In fact, the expectation was, ‘What’s the point of the World Cup if the S-class players on the Korean Peninsula can’t show their full strength?’, but that expectation was shattered by Baek Seol-hee’s ice wall when she woke up pregnant.

“Thanks to Baek Seol-hee’s absence from the World Cup and creating a safe wall, S-class people from all over the world are now gathering on the Korean Peninsula.”

“It’s thanks to me, right? Hehehe.”

“Okay. Even those who originally said they wouldn’t participate still want to participate. The battle between Yoon I-seon and Kim Yun-ji, and Baek Seol-hee’s ice wall that was strong even in the mana explosion. Anyone who isn’t stimulated by that isn’t S-class.”

A brilliant showdown between two people who have achieved enlightenment.

The strongest ice magician who suppresses the firepower of those two.

Although people are not challenging Yoon I-sun, Kim Yun-ji, and Baek Seol-hee, they may be curious.

Will his attack actually reach Baek Seol-hee’s ice wall?

Will it be possible to make even a scratch on Baek Seol-hee’s ice wall?

“Congratulations. Now that we have given the whole world a challenge.”

“Isn’t winning the World Cup a challenge?”

“Achievement quests were created in addition to the original quests, so everyone was on fire. If you don’t come this time and talk behind my back, it’s just a lame excuse from a boring guy.”

He did not participate in the World Cup in Korea.

And even if someone like that says, ‘If I had participated, I would have won,’ it is meaningless in today’s World Cup in Korea.

“A battlefield where you can exert your own power. When have heroes ever had a battle like that? Take it easy.”

“Sure. There wouldn’t have been many enemies like that even against villains, and even if he actually fought the villains with all his might, he wouldn’t have been able to use his full strength because he would have been concerned about the citizens and buildings around him.”

“Okay. Those who participated in the experiment that the government mobilized the military to test their power to some extent, but it would be incomplete combustion.”

Until now, heroes had no place to satisfy their desires.

Even though he developed his own special ability, the power of mana, and his own special ability, he never announced it to the world in a flashy manner.

Therefore, this World Cup will be the ‘ultimate feast’ for each talented player.

Just as Yoon I-seon and Kim Yun-ji summoned a magical giant and struck each other with ultimate skills, they will want to show their abilities and skills to the world in the most glamorous and legal place.

Now that aggro has been attracted, those attracted to aggro will appear one by one.

“One month until preliminaries. You will gradually adapt to the local environment overseas and heroes will begin to come.”

Planes would have taken off first from Europe and Africa, which are far from the Korean Peninsula.

“Most of them will be heroes, but some will be villains who made legal deals with the government, or hunters hired by the government.”

There may be far more S-classes than the S-classes known so far.

There are many purposes.

Although everyone says it is to prove their strength and bring the World Cup to their home country.

Just as each person has different abilities, their purpose for coming to the World Cup is also different.

“In that sense, Seolhee, you know that I can’t monopolize for the time being, right?”

“Sigh….”

“If you’re going to send in self-immolation, that’s okay, but if you explode while doing it, I don’t know?”

“If you set yourself on fire, you can just stay in the next room so you can retrieve it right away.”

“I don’t think it will be very good for your mentality. Is that your preference?”

“No?”

Baek Seol-hee vehemently denied it, but she will no longer be able to sing the national anthem with Do Ji-hwan for the time being.

“Tch…. Are you really going to date Lee Seon and Yunji?”

“Of course. If you want to be there, you can participate as an alter ego.”

Just like we did in Jeju Island.

“Four is more fun than three.”

I plan to do a patriotic act.

“Play as a side character who goes around catching villains trying to ruin the World Cup.”

By fighting off those who try to ruin the national event with the heroes who have retired from the front line due to pregnancy, we make the World Cup a success.

“It is patriotic to catch criminals who violate the national flag.”
