Chapter Index

    “Please comfort me.”

    “How should I hug you?”

    “Yes.”

    Seong Ji-eun, who came into the waiting room after losing to Gwangik-gong, patted her thigh as soon as she sat down on the sofa, and I became her doll.

    “Write….”

    “Sister. Looks like a pervert.”

    “Everyone played like this with dolls when they were young. It’s similar to that.”

    “If you do that, it’s a crime. Call the FBI?”

    “I’m in charge of the FBI, so what.”

    Seong Ji-eun continued to hug me and rub her body.

    Rather than saying that the act is particularly dangerous or that minors cannot watch it, it is literally the same as a girl hugging a doll and massaging it.

    Because of the Ymir virus, Seong Ji-eun looks a little different, but she is a more pure woman than anyone else.

    “How do you feel about fighting with Gwangikkong? Are you feeling better now?”

    “Yes. I feel relieved. If not now, when will I fight Gwangikkong again?”

    Gwangikgong is a powerhouse and ranks first in Korea.

    At the same time, he was the object of envy and jealousy among many S-class heroes in Korea, and everyone wanted to be with Gwangikgong at least once.

    Although his skills were not at the level of his prime after he died and came back to life, he was still strong enough even when his prime was broken.

    Even if he was an angel who lost his wings and fell from the high heavens, his skills and power did not completely disappear.

    “Serin. You should be careful.”

    “Why? As for long-distance response…”

    “Kwang Ik-gong, I think you will probably come out with a different style from the quarterfinals onwards. That’s my prediction.”

    Hyeon Se-rin’s expression immediately darkened at Seong Ji-eun’s prediction.

    “I watched it for as long as I could and came up with a countermeasure…”

    “It seems like someone had a negative influence on Gwangikgong.”

    “Why are you pressing my cheek while saying that?”

    “Because you are the culprit.”

    Seong Ji-eun continued to press my cheeks with his hands from both sides.

    “Do you know what the biggest difference is between the old Gwangikgong and the current Gwangikgong?”

    “Flesh?”

    “It’s a fighting style. He didn’t have the concept of ‘fighting to match’ his opponent.”

    “…….”

    Previously, Gwangyukgong was just strong.

    Because he was so strong, his own way was the right answer, and everyone was defeated by that power.

    “Thanks to someone showing us time and time again how to effectively analyze and match the opponent’s abilities, Gwangikong also learned that.”

    “Ahang. In the past, he was just a guy who just shot dragon dance rapid destruction rays, but now he’s also equipped with a weak point attack?”

    “Sister, you said something strange again. Doblin, please interpret.”

    “The guy who beat everyone at level 100 on his own when fighting with others adjusting their abilities to a level 50 limit is now limited to level 50, but his skill placement has changed to be able to keep all types in check?”

    “…….”

    I am the only one here who can understand what Cheon Ju-yeon is saying, and in fact, Cheon Ju-yeon is happy and even winks at my words.

    “Sister, and Serin. I’ll lend you the device after the World Cup game, so try it out. Are games also helpful in developing abilities?”

    “The game is a little…”

    “It’s true. According to the rumor, Gwangikgong also developed this ability while playing games.”

    “…Really?”

    Hyun Se-rin’s expression began to harden.

    “I feel like my respect for Gwangikgong is suddenly disappearing.”

    “Still strong.”

    “That makes me more annoyed. under. Really… do I have to fight him while swinging a sword myself?”

    Although they say they do their best to prepare in advance, no one knows what will happen as Gwangyukgong comes equipped with new technologies of its own.

    You only have one chance, but in the end, you have no choice but to figure out the pattern by fighting it yourself.

    Same goes for me.

    “Sister. It’s a pity, but time is running out.”

    “What?”

    “It’s game time.”

    On time, 5 minutes ago.

    The audience returned to their seats one by one, and video footage of her and me was playing on the stadium screen.

    “You’re not going to tell me, are you?”

    “…….”

    “I don’t know who will show up, but I’ll be there.”

    The executives remained loyal until the end, and I escaped from Seong Ji-eun and left the waiting room.

    Jerk, jerk.

    I try to walk lightly, but although I don’t want to be conscious of the gaze pouring in from around me, I can’t help but become conscious of it.

    How does it feel to do a team kill?

    How do you feel after seeing Gwangyukgong’s ultimate performance?

    Even if I win this time, my next opponent is…

    “Hey, can we have a short interview before the game?”

    Just before I left the waiting room and headed to the stadium, someone extended a microphone towards me.

    “This person!!”

    The reporters around me were shocked and tried to stop her, but I immediately approached reporter Han Seon-ah, who held out her microphone.

    “Can we just answer one question and go right away, sister?”

    “Ah, yes….”

    The others looked proud of me for being interviewed right before the game, but Han Seon-ah made a sour expression for a moment when she was called ‘sister’, but then changed her expression right away.

    “I understand that Red Rider Yoon Hye-ra ‘awakened’ through the patriotic general Do Ji-hwan. Are you confident?”

    “Hmm. I thought you were going to ask something else.”

    “Yes?”

    “See you in the finals.”

    I stretched my finger directly toward the camera filming me and tapped the lens.

    “Gwangikgong.”

    “Wow….”

    The cameraman’s surprised voice will be captured in the microphone and spread around the world.

    Having advanced to the round of 16 and already having Gwangyukgong as your opponent in the finals is an arrogant act that ignores everyone else –

    ‘That’s okay.’

    If you show overwhelming power and defeat all your opponents, you will no longer be a cubic crystal.

    Jerk, jerk.

    Exit the hallway and go on stage.

    As soon as I enter the stadium first, the interview I did just before plays on the stadium screen.

    “Then…who will come out?”

    Even though I made comments that openly disrespected my opponent, officially my opponent is ‘Red Rider.’

    Even if I say I’m a doblin instead of a goblin, I won’t lose.

    There is also a way to lift restrictions here.

    “Either-”

    Hwareuk.

    Sunset sky.

    Something shining red and gold appeared on the south side of the stadium.

    [Ah, that is–!]

    fluttering.

    A bird of flame so large that it covered the entire stadium appeared.

    Unlike the Gwangyukgong, it flaps its shining red wings and slowly flaps its wings toward the stadium, scattering brilliant golden embers.

    Sararak.

    As the flame bird descended on the stadium, its size gradually decreased, flames bloomed like an explosion, and a red-haired woman appeared with her arms outstretched.

    “This body appears.”

    “…….”

    You wanted to appear in a flashy manner.

    Hye-ra Yoon smiles mischievously. Facing me, I put my hands together.

    “I wanted to try it once.”

    “I can’t do things like this except at times like this.”

    It appears in the form of a ‘masterpiece’ in a place where the whole world pays attention.

    “The whole world must have seen it in real time right now, right? My new look.”

    “People who know me will think it’s me, but people who don’t know me will think I’ve inherited this ability.”

    “Then it’s fine as is. The important thing is…”

    In front of everyone, Yoon Hye-ra lit a tiny firework in her hand.

    “I am saying that you will win.”

    “Hoo.”

    “Um….”

    “If you don’t feel comfortable talking, you don’t have to.”

    Since the whole world is watching the conversation, even if the voice is muffled, the video is analyzed using something like lip-reading to understand what is being said.

    “Then.”

    Hye-ra Yoon flings a bird of flame at me.

    The bird that flew lightly and landed on me scattered in front of my face, and I was able to read her will from the magic that fell on my whole body.

    Defeat the goblin.

    Do your best and use all the abilities you can to win.

    “…Yeah, that’s it.”

    For Yoon Hye-ra, I have become a ‘goal’.

    No matter how high an executive he is, as a person with a special ability, wanting to defeat someone stronger than him is a natural instinct as a ‘person with a special ability’ before being a hero or a villain.

    “Me too.”

    The opponent is a pyromancer, the pinnacle of pyrokinesis.

    Beating Hye-ra Yoon is like beating every pyromancer in the world.

    “Within the power that can be produced.”

    “Do your best.”

    [The game is about to begin ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!]

    The moment the ball rang.

    “Then, shall we give it our all?”

    A sentence began to sparkle inside Hye-ra Yoon’s black dress.

    “Heehee.”

    “No.”

    “Power, you said, right?”

    “Hey.”

    Hyera Yoon.

    “Try to receive the strength you received from patriotic general Do Ji-hwan for yourself!!”

    As soon as it starts, the awakening emblem is turned on.

    Drawing on the mana of the magic core attached to his body.

    “Fly ㅡㅡㅡ!”

    It became a huge flaming bird that was dozens of meters long, just like when it came down to the stadium.

    “…….”

    Exuding overwhelming magical power, she flew into the sky, shining with brilliant golden light and covering her whole body with red flames.

    “From the beginning to the climax, Evande.”

    How much do you want to run wild?

    * * *

    Grandstand, VVVIP waiting room.

    “Wow.”

    As a fellow pyromancer, Yoon I-seon was gaping at Yoon Hye-ra’s transformation.

    “It’s a real masterpiece.”

    “…I didn’t know you could use this ability like that.”

    Baek Seol-hee looked at Yoon Hye-ra, who had turned into a huge phantom beast.

    “It’s all made up of magic power, and the core is…the head? I can’t see it well.”

    “It’s in the solar plexus. You create a sphere of flame inside a burning flame, and then you move within it as if you are controlling it.”

    “Can you see it?”

    “We are both fire magicians and seniors…”

    Iseon Yoon clenched his fists as he watched Suzaku continuing to fly above the stadium with sparkling eyes.

    “Shall I try something like that? With the nine-tailed fox concept.”

    “…I should make one too. With ice. Hmm, I guess something like a butterfly would be nice.”

    Baek Seol-hee created a butterfly made of ice in one hand for a moment, but soon released the magic.

    “…First, we need to focus on the stadium. He’s not trying to melt the entire stadium, right…?”

    “Hmm. First of all, Hye-ra has a sense of rivalry with her older sister… It’s like a long tradition of fire magic lovers and ice magicians…”

    Ice melts in fire.

    However, until now, there has never been a case where Baek Sul-hee’s ice was melted on the Korean Peninsula.

    “Teacher, you may be trying to win, but aren’t you also trying to win by melting the stadium?”

    “…If you want to do that, you have to beat him first, wait. What is he doing now?”

    Baek Seol-hee’s heart sank at the strange behavior of Doblin, who was standing in the middle of the stadium.

    “Something around…”

    “Something like a water drop…?”

    Centered around Doblin, water droplets began to spread around.

    “……The color.”

    “It’s white.”

    White, cloudy, foamy water droplets.
