Stadium. America’s S+ level hero waiting room.

It was the day of the decisive battle.

The incident in which those who failed to advance to the finals and lost as grade A+ turned into devils and went on a rampage was resolved without any rumors.

People are starting to calm down as they realize that although Neo Dongtan has been created, it has not yet been painted and no safety inspection has been conducted.

“Jeongbae Gwangikong Let’s go!!”

“This is not a traitor to the country! It’s a reverse patriotic bet to eat up a lot of foreigners’ money!!”

“If you bet on people in America, your money will be copied, but they don’t know that. Are you planning to throw the money into the gutter!!”

People started to focus on the World Cup again.

Even though I’m in the waiting room, I can still hear the crowd shouting if I open my ears just a little.

Jeongbae is a Gwangikgong.

The treason bet is on America.

The punishment for betrayal by not betting on Korean heroes will be paid by winning foreign people’s money.

“Isn’t betraying a country mostly about winning Korean people’s money?”

“What if I tell you the gamblers’ logic exactly, sister?”

“Right? After all, it’s our Doblin. It’s amazing ㅡ.”

Analyzing the finals bracket, I wondered who would advance and who would win, and as a result, I started betting on who would be the final winner.

“Who did Ji-eun bet on?”

“Me? To me first. And to you. Next is Gwangikgong.”

“As expected, my sister also bet on Gwangikgong.”

The number 0 candidate for the championship is, of course, Gwangik-gong.

In Korea, of course, Cheonma, Cheok Jun-gyeong, Baridegi, and Armored Taejo are behind them.

I don’t know what will happen to the others, but there is only one of them I have to worry about.

“Before I meet Gwang Ik-gong in the finals, if I make it to the quarterfinals, I will have to face Cheok Jun-kyung once.”

Assuming that I step on everyone and climb up.

Assuming that the Korean S-classes stick together and do not lose.

And, at least on the premise that Cheok Jun-kyung does not meet other American heroes, I plan to confront Cheok Jun-kyung.

“If others hear it, they will scoff. Especially Indian people.”

Seong Ji-eun heard the bracket.

“The one who destroyed the city, but created a new city. A person who leaves everyone else behind and advances alone. Doblin.”

I destroyed the entire city in the second round of the preliminaries, but I recreated the city and ended up with countless life penalties.

“…India’s hero, [Agni], who defeated the enemy without any casualties or property damage and advanced to the finals with the highest score.”

The opponent is a real S-class hero from India.

“Are you okay? The other person is more than a reader.”

“Of course it’s okay. Doblin is not a facade. And I’m not fighting alone.”

I stroked the head of the little red-faced warbler that was flapping its wings on the back of my hand.

“So you don’t have to worry.”

No matter how much Agni is truly S-rank, I am the one who wins.

“Even if Doblin’s attack ability is greatly limited, it’s not enough to make him fall in the round of 64. Rather, I’m worried about my sister?”

“Me? Do you think I’ll lose?”

Seong Ji-eun held me, patted my head, and pointed to the side.

“Easily safe until the round of 16. And the first Korean to be eliminated in the round of 16 is none other than me.”

Chaos Seong Ji-eun.

Black Rider, to be exact.

As she moves up the bracket, she is the first to meet a Korean hero in the round of 16.

“The opponent you will meet in the finals is not Gwangikgong, but your older sister.”

Gwangik Engineering Department.

“And then the ones who lose to me are Serin and Juyeon.”

“…What do you say? Because I’m going to win?”

“Heung.”

And the next ones are Hyeon Se-rin and Cheon Ju-yeon.

Is it a trick of fate?

Or is it Hwan’s will?

Even though it was a random match made in an analog manner, Gwangikgong only faced ‘foreign enemies’.

If we talk only about Jeongbae.

Chinese hero ‘Hang Yu’ in the round of 64.

Japanese hero ‘Susanoo’ in the round of 32.

America’s hero ‘Black Rider’ in the round of 16.

America’s heroes ‘White Rider’ and ‘Blue Rider’ continued in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

And in the finals, ‘Red Rider’ or ‘Doblin’.

Although this is a story told from Gwangikkong’s point of view, the bracket is arranged in the perfect way to inspire Korean pride.

‘Of course, Korean people are hoping that the final will be Korean vs. Korean.’

Like Gwangyukgong vs. Cheokjungyeong.

Gwangikgong vs. Tusin or something like that.

As everyone thinks that the healers Baridegi and Armored Taejo are relatively no match for Gwangikgong, Tushin and Cheok Jun-gyeong are expected to finally be able to fight against their Gwangikgong.

“All Korean people ignore you? Sister, I’m angry. I’ll come back after destroying the Gwangikong.”

Although he said “, it was the Black Rider who was crushed by Gwangikkong.”

“What do you say? Cheon Ju-yeon, if we had met you first in the round of 16, you would have been destroyed first.”

“Yes, I fight better than you.”

“……Want to have a taste of the sudden earthquake?”

“1:1 Just because it doesn’t seem to work, why don’t you start a fight by holding the Earth hostage? Doblin. Instead of continuing to be hugged by that fierce older sister, would you like to come to this older sister? My sister will buy me a new graphics card.”

only.

“Money doesn’t lie.”

“What?”

“It’s not a story about a graphics card, it’s a story about Jeongbae.”

In terms of finances, the answer has already been found.

“Thanks to Doblin’s performance in the preliminaries, everyone thinks he is ‘above than Tushin or Cheok Jun-kyung.’”

Most power analysts and experts in special ability battles view the battle between Gwangyukgong and Doblin as the final battle.

Those who are trying hard to make money or are obsessed with the national team talk about how America’s hero can win against Cheok Jun-kyung in the quarterfinals and Tushin in the semifinals, but Doblin is still far superior in the Toto odds.

of course.

‘I don’t know if there will be a fight in the semifinals or not.’

Gambling, if things always go the way they are supposed to, why would it be gambling?

Only when a huge, thrilling upset occurs does it become a gamble.

Although it is difficult to happen, the competition is fun because the underdog bites the strong and there is an underdog who wins in the finals.

And if such an underdog defeats a strong man known as the strongest and wins the championship, there will be no other drama as eventful as that…

Even so.

It should be fun to see Heart of the Beast, who bets his money on a whopping 7x odds, win.

“So, sisters, who did you bet on me and Agni?”

“Of course it’s you.”

“Why are you calling on Agni? A traitor to the point.”

There is no reason to say that I will be defeated by Agni.

Indian hero.

correction.

He is an Indian hero by nationality, and has the nickname of a god from Indian mythology.

“The goblin, who is Korean to the core, lost his memory and returned as a shota-transformed American hero, but he cannot lose to a traitor in exile.”

Goddess of victory.

No, the Goddess of Hwan is on my side.

* * *

Wow!!!

The ball rang.

My opponent, Agni, stood across from me looking very intimidating.

“Do not treat him as a child or anything.”

Height is almost 190 cm.

His muscular build was like that of a winner of an international bodybuilding competition, and his body hair was covered in red flames.

Eyebrows, beard, and hair.

Fortunately or not, at least the red flames are blooming brightly only on the visible body hair.

“If you surrender obediently, I will accept it.”

“Please take a look? Me?”

“…Maybe it’s because I’m American, but I skipped politeness.”

“H.”

It talks about courtesy from the beginning, but there is no particular damage or anything like that.

“There is no courtesy towards someone who was S-rank in Korea but left for India.”

“…….”

“Against Indians, not Koreans.”

“…….”

Agni frowned openly.

At the same time, the fire burning on his face began to burn more brightly.

“I guess I’ll have to taste something bitter to come to my senses. I trusted the durability of this special stadium and gave it a try…”

Thump, thud.

“Would you be able to handle my flame while this place burns to the point of melting in my flame?”

Agni stretched out his hand forward, tapping his foot on the floor of the special stadium – the stadium created by Baek Seol-hee.

“Go for it. I am someone who does my best even if the other person is an elementary school student.”

“I’m not an elementary school student.”

“Then do you have dwarfism? If you were a middle school student, high school student, or adult with that height… tsk tsk tsk.”

Agni shook his head and twitched the corners of his mouth.

“Unfortunately, I cannot watch it.”

“…….”

“Alternatively, I can call you ‘cute’. With Red Rider on your team.”

Trash talk is perfect for mental attacks.

However, if it goes any further than this, the people currently at the stadium will start to get bored.

Originally, pre-game trash talk was just a device to increase entertainment.

Since you have entered the main game right away, the only solution is to fight the rest yourself.

“Agni. You won’t be able to touch a single hair on me. Not only this stadium, but also me.”

“Hmph. The young guy’s bravado-”

“3 minutes.”

I raised three fingers high towards the sky.

“I’ll give you 3 minutes. While I use this ability, feel free to attack as much as you like. If your flame touches me during those three minutes, I will admit defeat and surrender.”

“Ha…! Not 3 minutes, 3 seconds is enough-”

“Director, stabilization completed.”

There is only one ability to use this.

“Stasis field, on.”
