Victoria Convention Center owned by Victoria Academy.

People from all over the world were seated in a huge exhibition hall in the center of Seoul.

There were a few people who were dissatisfied with having to come to Korea just because of Lee Ho-yeon, but most of them maintained a serious mood.

This is because a rumor was spread that he would talk about the gates of hell, monsters, and the black pillar at today’s press conference.

Now all countries have declared martial law.

The mere fact that high-ranking officials gathered like this showed how much attention was paid to Lee Ho-yeon’s press conference.

Although it was called a press conference, the reporters were cornered because high-ranking officials were taking up space.

Interviews to be broadcast to each country were conducted by spokespeople, and reporters who tried to request interviews with high-ranking officials were pushed back by security guards and ended up joining a corner.

Among them, there was a reporter who grumbled.

“… Is it true that Wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s press conference will become this big? No matter how great Wizard Lee Ho-yeon is, is he greater than researchers around the world?”

“Hey, haven’t you heard the news? If this continues, the Earth will be destroyed. Some are even saying that we should place our last hope on wizard Lee Ho-yeon.”

For several days, numerous research teams focused on studying the monsters of hell, but the results were not good.

It was a video sent by a drone that had luckily penetrated into the darkness of the Pacific Ocean.

Even the monsters that were currently attacking humans were difficult to stop, but there were endlessly bigger and stronger ones than those monsters crossing the gates of hell.

– Maintaining the status quo is difficult, but if monsters attack properly, they can never be stopped.

That was the researchers’ conclusion.

“But does that make sense for people from all over the world to come to the press conference of wizard Lee Ho-yeon, who has just become an adult?”

“The president of the American Hunter Association and the president of the Wizards Association are here. How can you stay silent in another country? Moreover, the guild leader Iris and the guild leader Angela have come to see you in person. If you’re so tactless that you miss an event like this, you should give up your head.”

[Wizard Lee Ho-yeon will enter soon.]

At that time, everyone focused their attention directly on the voice coming from the podium.

The reporters stopped chatting and picked up cameras or prepared smart watches. They had to focus on every word of Lee Ho-yeon.

Broadcasting stations in each country also turned on live cameras. It was a press conference that received a lot of attention on the Internet, so it was scheduled to be broadcast live.

“Looks like we’re starting now, Isaac.”

“I wonder what great stories our son-in-law will tell us.”

“Huh? Son-in-law?”

“Shh. Focus. It’s coming up.”

Isaac silenced Team 2’s leader and looked straight ahead.

The expressions of the high-ranking officials who were greeting each other also changed.

Some of them narrowed their eyes, and some prayed for a good outcome.

Jerk. Jerk.

Soon, a man slowly came up to the stage.

He was a man with a sculptural appearance that everyone liked.

He was dressed in a neat suit that could be considered a model, so reporters started taking pictures of him as soon as they saw him.

‘Looking from above, there are a lot of people.’

Lee Ho-yeon, who went up to the podium, glanced at the front.

Is it because I’ve only been going to places where there aren’t any people lately?

It’s been a while since I’ve had this kind of direct interest since I presented my research at the Wizarding Society.

For no reason, I feel uncomfortable wearing a suit, and I worry about whether I’m wearing my tie properly.

“Hmm. Ah. Hmm.”

Hoyeon Lee took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and cleared his throat.

Even though I tried to relax, it wasn’t easy.

Lee Ho-yeon went up on stage for the first time in a long time feeling heavy on her shoulders.

As I stood on the podium, I could clearly feel the loud noise.

The bright light of the flash light filled my eyes, and the clicking sound of the shutter was heard.

[We would like to thank the distinguished guests and journalists who came from all over the world, and we will now begin the press conference of Wizard Lee Ho-yeon. The Q&A will be held after Wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s speech… .]

I can hear Kang Hyo-rin, head of the Korean branch of the Iris Guild, talking next to me.

The press conference began.

“….”

Lee Ho-yeon closed his eyes for a moment and thought.

This press conference was really important.

It was an important opportunity to spread the message he had prepared so far to the world in real time.

There may never again be a moment where Lee Ho-yeon’s voice and presence are as high as this moment.

To protect this world, to protect the heroines, or to protect oneself.

Lee Ho-yeon had to overcome this hurdle.

“ha….”

I opened my closed eyes.

Hoyeon Lee looked at the people looking at her.

Thousands of people were looking at Lee Ho-yeon, but their hearts were not pounding.

[Clear mental power]

I used a perk that I had deliberately stayed away from.

For the first time in a long time, my mind felt cold.

I didn’t feel it when I was watching the press conference, but standing like this made me feel a lot of pressure.

You have to overcome this to make a living as a politician.

Hoyeon Lee proudly straightened her shoulders and opened her mouth.

“This is wizard Lee Ho-yeon. I think you might have questions about the black pillar and the unidentified monster attack. I plan to tell you everything here today, so I would appreciate it if you could listen carefully.”

The noisy shutter sound gradually decreases.

Hoyeon Lee slowly spoke out the words she had prepared.

“I have been researching the Black Pillar from the moment it appeared. Eventually, I realized that the Black Pillar emits magical energy that harms humans, and I tried to inform the world about this.”

They tried to spread the truth through the Iris Guild and Victoria Academy, but the high-ranking officials had already been brainwashed.

If I had known that fact a little earlier, things would have been easier.

“This incident is not a natural phenomenon like a dungeon or a gate. It is a terrorist attack led by the terrorist group Pandemic. They opened the gates of hell and brought monsters from another dimension to Earth.”

Ho-yeon Lee sent a signal to Dr. Hyo-rin Kang, head of the Korean branch of the Iris Guild, who was waiting next to her.

Before the press conference began, materials requested from Iris Guild were distributed to dignitaries and reporters.

– This… . Is this a way to destroy the black pillar?

– The One-Eyed Giant’s weak point is not its eyes but the top of its head? what is this sound?! Ask the captured monster to check!

– What does it mean to make Hell’s magic available to ordinary hunters?

Research material that summarizes the weaknesses of monsters and how to use the magic of hell to fight against them.

It was a strategy book created by Lee Ho-yeon herself.

We took the time to summarize the weaknesses of all monsters, so just learning this will reduce the number of hunters sacrificed in battle.

The current Earth has a lower overall level of ability than at the time of the original, and is not familiar with the magic of hell.

Human bonds are not strong, and there are still people who only look at their own benefit.

Nevertheless, there was Lee Ho-yeon in this world.

Basically, monsters cause the most damage until you know how to deal with them.

If this were a game, even if the player knew the opponent’s method, they wouldn’t be able to tell it to the NPC, but this isn’t a game.

Knowing the relative law is definitely an advantage.

No matter how strong the monsters of hell are, you can easily deal with them if you learn the magic of hell and exploit their weaknesses.

“This is the method of dealing with monsters that I, Iris Guild, and Victoria Academy studied. To deal with them, you must use the magic of hell. And anyone who has the magic tools made by the Wizards Association can learn the magic of hell.”

In addition, simply giving hunters one by one the magical tools mass-produced by the Wizards Association significantly increases their combat power.

The difference between 10 and 11 is small, but the difference between 0 and 1 is large.

‘In that state, you can start destroying the black pillar.’

As we saw in Korea and France, monsters without hellish magic can easily be subdued by ordinary hunters.

If the black pillar is gone and weakened, and humans have learned the magic of hell and know how to deal with monsters… Monsters are no longer a threat.

“I’m sure some people are wondering why I know this information. And they’re probably wondering why I’m only telling you now.”

In order to carry out his plan, he had to be persuasive.

The reason Lee Ho-yeon received attention was because he was the first to destroy the black pillar.

But it was a logical leap to know the monsters’ weaknesses just by that alone.

The magic tool had the excuse of studying the magical power of hell, but it was too awkward to know all of the monster’s weaknesses just by destroying the black pillar.

Moreover, it would be a bit suspicious to reveal this information now.

The reason he knows the monster’s weakness is because he played the original game.

Since I couldn’t say that, I had to look the other way.

“This is information obtained directly from the Pandemic demons. I recently captured the Pandemic spies who were hiding in the United States. They fearlessly contacted the president of the American Hunter Association and the guild leader Angela.”

People who were surprised by Ho-yeon Lee’s words turned their heads, and the president of the American Hunter Association and the head of the Angela Guild nodded at Ho-yeon Lee’s words.

Before the press conference started, the words were already set.

“According to information obtained from spies, people who have been brainwashed by the current pandemic are holding key positions in various countries. The brainwashed high-ranking officials used the media to attack me to prevent my research results from becoming known. At this press conference, they “I will reveal the identity in detail.”

Murmur.

The atmosphere became chaotic due to Lee Ho-yeon’s bombshell remarks.

High-ranking officials frowned or laughed at each other, while reporters seemed intrigued by the idea of getting a scoop.

– Do you know who exactly betrayed you?! Please reveal your identity!

– Is the information from a reliable source? Now, Wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s press conference is being broadcast live around the world!

“I plan to show you the evidence of my remarks now.”

As soon as he answered, Hoyeon Lee unleashed his magic power.

How should I get as much attention as possible at a press conference?

This was the result of much thought.

‘Deployment of Macheon Palace.’

The magic power drawn from within the body was spread in all directions.

Soon, the inside of the convention center was filled with Lee Ho-yeon’s magic.

“No way.”

“This is the magic power of one person…?”

As soon as the high-ranking officials’ bodyguards felt Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power, they tensed and looked straight ahead.

The magic power that filled the space in the blink of an eye could turn into a weapon right now and aim for your own neck.

“….”

Hoyeon Lee came down from the stage, ignoring the people around her.

I am not a fan of military demonstrations, but there is nothing that can have as strong an impact as a military demonstration.

If you make aggro in a situation like this, people will be interested in this press conference even if they don’t want to, and high-ranking officials will never be able to ignore what they say.

“It’s easy to find out who’s been brainwashed. The terrorist group Pandemic also has a way of undoing their own brainwashing.”

Jerk. Jerk.

Hoyeon Lee passed through the nervous dignitaries and approached Ackerman, president of the American Hunters Association.

I bowed my head slightly and asked in a polite tone.

“Chairman Ackerman, can you repeat exactly what I say?”

“It’s not difficult if it’s Wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s request.”

“Tu Arma Maestro.”

“Tu Arma Maestro.”

Chairman Ackerman shrugged his shoulders after speaking the brainwashing language.

Hoyeon Lee continued speaking naturally.

“As you can see, it’s a sentence that has no effect on an ordinary person… but.”

Lee Ho-yeon turned and approached the place where Korean dignitaries were gathered.

A person I have asked to meet several times, but have not been able to meet.

President of the Korean Hunter Association.

He was the one who spoke harshly to Sister Surin, who protected him as he destroyed the black pillar.

“Chairman of the Association. Could you repeat exactly what I said?”

Hoyeon Lee slightly lowered her head as she felt the unpleasant magic emanating from the man in front of her.
