The round of 32 has ended.

The round of 32 ended with Doblin escaping from Vlad Chepesz’s blood-red sphere prison by cutting it in half.

All that was given to those who played the round of 32 was one day of rest.

There is a big difference in the mana used by each player in the round of 32, but that is no excuse for the round of 16 that is right in front of us.

Someone won even though the game schedule was changed.

Someone won by continuing to travel back and forth even though their accommodation and stadium were a whopping 300km away.

And someone else won against a real villain, even one who tried to kill someone.

As a result.

All of those who made it to the round of 16 are all famous ‘S-level’ players, and can be said to be the country’s representative talents in name and reality.

only.

“Is it a two-power system between Korea and America?”

“If three pregnant women had also jumped in, the quarterfinals would have been made up of only Koreans?”

While looking at the faces of those who made it to the round of 16, Baek Seol-hee, who came up from the side, smiled slightly as she pointed out several places in the bracket.

“Look. Firefox goes here, and Brain Zee goes here. And what if Snow White enters here again?”

“…Well, if all the American heroes are defeated, there is a possibility.”

Except for Baridegi, who lost to Nadeshiko, all other Korean S-class heroes advanced to the round of 16.

All five of Our America’s Heroes, Deadly Executives, also advanced to the round of 16.

Excluding the remaining few seats, it is safe to say that Korea and America actually had a two-power system, and if you look at it broadly, the East and the West each took up half the seats.

“First of all, Korea wins 1st time.”

Baek Seol-hee determined the result of one of the round of 16 matches in the bracket program on my screen.

“I know Seong Ji-eun is good at fighting, but even Seong Ji-eun won’t be able to do anything when she meets him. Right, Mr. Jihwan?”

“Recognition.”

No matter how chaotic Seong Ji-eun is – even though he admits it, he is also disappointed – the opponent is Gwangikgong.

1 game. Gwangikgong Kim Jin-ho vs. Black Rider Seong Ji-eun.

No matter how much Seong Ji-eun has brought about a new victory, it is impossible for an earth manipulator with a terrain manipulation type to win against a light winger who specializes in interpersonal warfare even if he uses the same amount of magical power.

“I think Gwangikgong will win easily, but…”

“Are you anxious about something? Seolhee, didn’t you say in the interview that you would win Gwangikgong?”

“That’s right, but I guess everyone’s opinions are a bit different right now, right?”

Gwangikkong is a favorite to win.

Of course, the winner’s opponent is the opponent, and so many votes are gathered in favor of Gwangikgong that the dividend is more than 10 times more.

but.

China’s S-class hero Xiang Yu and Japan’s S-class hero Susanoo also had over 10 times the double, but the case of Black Rider Seong Ji-eun was different.

“The first digit has been bent to 5.”

5.5:1.

More people than expected are expecting Seong Ji-eun to win.

At this level, it is assumed that ‘isn’t it enough to explode?’, and the logic was not simply the heart of the beast or an American patriotic bet.

“I guess everyone is evaluating Gwangikong as not as good as it used to be, right?”

“It’s been about a month since I came back from the dead and got used to my current body, but it’s true that I’ve become weaker compared to my prime.”

This is because people judged that Gwangikong’s combat power seemed to have deteriorated significantly.

This is natural.

The current Gwangikgong was resurrected by borrowing someone else’s body, and is receiving considerable help from external sources.

People observed this through the round of 64 and round of 32, and some people began to notice it.

That Gwangikgong is not what it used to be.

“They told me to come out after watching Snow White? If we fight Gwangikong now, wouldn’t Snowwhite win?”

“Are you confident?”

“Hmm, maybe I can win if I fight after giving birth…?”

Perhaps because she had clearly gained confidence, Baek Seol-hee did not say things like ‘we are pushed’ or ‘we will not lose’ to Gwangikkong.

“What do you think? Who do you think will win?”

“If we fight now, you will win.”

“…Oh, really?”

Baek Seol-hee is truly surprised by my prediction.

“Unexpected. It’s even more surprising because it doesn’t seem like empty words.”

“It’s because of the child, if you really fight now, you’ll win. You are number 1 in Korea right now. Even if we were to play against Gwangyukgong in his prime, the tie would be around 5.1:4.9.”

“That one piece of paper can be the difference between winning and losing… but that’s okay. The ability contest expert decided that I would win. ha. If I had known this would happen, would I have left?”

Baek Seol-hee leaned her head on my shoulder and pampered me.

“I thought it would be fun to have a couple fight in the finals.”

“Then let’s give it a try at the next World Cup.”

“Oh my, is there a next time?”

“If the first one is completed successfully, of course it can continue to be opened in the future. That’s the purpose of the S-Class Talent World Cup in the first place. Let us continue to engage in continuous competition in the future.”

If this World Cup is established, the pride between nations will be replaced by a competition between talented people – Xports – rather than a war filled with blood and slaughter.

To do so, the round of 16 matches need to proceed steadily until the finals.

but.

“At least the next World Cup will not be held in Korea.”

“Because it was held once? Or, assuming the next World Cup is held in the winner’s country, do you want Doblin to win and have the World Cup held in America?”

“No. Look at the status of the bracket.”

I pointed to the rest of the bracket.

“If we continue like this, there will be no team kills between Koreans. If it weren’t for us, if it weren’t for the desperate executives, the semifinals would have been a real Korean pepper party.”

“…Gwangikgong, Tusin, Cheokjungyeong, Taejo.”

Baridegiya, originally, it was judged that advancing to the round of 64 was a ‘final match’, so even if that were the case, the fact that Koreans are placed in different groups and start facing each other in the semifinals is definitely an issue that will be talked about in many ways.

How could they have met even once before and have a team kill? It was as if someone had prayed in the bracket that ‘one Korean will definitely advance to the semifinals’.

And, conversely, there was a case where a team kill occurred much earlier than the semifinals.

Of course, we got to meet each other because we advanced to the round of 64 by winning twice, but I still don’t like meeting like this.

“We finally met.”

“Sure. Are you confident?”

“You are always there. There is…”

Is it a trick of fate?

“If I hadn’t entered, Hyera would have canceled her match against Cheok Jun-kyung.”

Cheok Jun-kyung is scheduled to face the Mongolian hero ‘Khan’.

And then the next game.

“Doblin and Red Rider. If these two fight, who will win…. Who should I bet on? Walk on you?”

“Of course I do.”

Doblin.

That opponent.

“No matter who wins, America will win, so bet on America.”

Red Rider, Yoon Hye-ra.

problem.

“Hye-ra Yoon, are you coming out?”

“……I guess I’ll find out on the day.”

I have now been robbed of the Death Watch.

To be precise, it became impossible to obtain information through the death watch.

“No matter which of the two comes out, it is clear that both of them will really try to beat me.”

Will Yoon Hye-ra herself pitch?

Or will Yoo (ㄴHye-ra) Mir, who is currently active in Korea as Yoon Hye-ra, appear on the mound?

“I don’t know anything else, but you know that you have to deal with Doblin, right? It’s like fighting with restrictions, but you can win, right? I bet on you?”

“Walk.”

It’s hard to know who will come forward as other executives are keeping their mouths shut, but one thing is clear.

“If I don’t want to be imprisoned in Ulleungdo as a doblin for a week, of course I have to win.”

As the districts happened to be different, the executives made a bet.

-The person who beats Doblin eats Doblin for a week. call?

Except for Yoon Hye-ra, who will face me in the round of 16, the other executives had to beat Gwangik-gong and advance to the finals to face me…

-As expected, you are my sister. It’s relentless. I want to do it too. My sister wins and I eat Doblin.

-If that’s the case, you can never lose. I will definitely win. Of course, I’m better than Doblin…Ugh.

-Isn’t the stock better than the tuning? First of all, I’ll eat it as is, so if the youngest eats first, doesn’t it naturally belong to the sisters?

This unity was achieved.

-If you win against Doblin, I’ll lend you a bed for a week.

-…Chief?

Under the approval of the head of state, if I didn’t win, I had to become a douchebag for the executives for a week.

“You. do not forget. After this World Cup, I’m going to go play with my kids for a week, whether it’s Jeju Island or Ulleungdo.”

“Ah.”

…Even if I win, it’s still a patriotic trip for a week, but at least I can be proactive about this.

Will you win and embrace the heroes?

Will you be defeated and given over to the villains?

“For your information, did you know that special guests invited by executives will also be added to your paper?”

“…….”

If you lose, you get eaten.

* * *

At that time, underground in Phenix City, America.

” Come back. I’ll take charge.”

“Director…?”

“This is a long-awaited opportunity to meet 1:1.”

Sitting in the center of the hall and leisurely crossing her legs, the head coach suggested Hye-ra Yoon to participate.

“It’s okay for you to take care of me by my side and for the villains to escape from prison. I will be watching, so go to Korea. Don’t you want to join us sometime?”

“That’s….”

“It’s not an order. Whatever you want.”

“…….”

Hye-ra Yoon took an upright posture and then bent down.

“I’ll be back.”

“Okay. Don’t worry about me and America, just come and let go of your resentment somewhere. Come and clearly show Korea what kind of person you are.”

“Yes. But…”

Hye-ra Yoon pointed to Ymir, the blonde woman standing right next to the leader.

“What are you planning to do with Ymir?”

“…….”

“…….”

The leader held hands with Ymir and continued to exchange magical power.

“Nothing else, um.”

Total number.

“Temporarily handing over the operation authority of this planet…?”

“……??”

“Nothing else.”

He continued speaking in a very calm voice.

“I plan to leave this planet to Mir while I give birth.”
