A day has passed.

-I will raise them to S rank.

After Seokwangsam, who was working as a stonemason and had E-level abilities, was selected directly by a goblin and became a candidate for ‘demon god’.

-Perhaps I also have S-class talent?!

-I should have been born in Korea, not China!

As soon as a young man who was carrying stones at a construction site passed through one of the mask doors, the path to becoming an S-class opened up, many people’s eyes began to focus more and more on the dream.

-No, honestly, does that make sense? If there was a chance of becoming S-class, why did you stay in E-class until now?

Some people began to have doubts.

-Isn’t that guy actually a villain who hid his identity? It is said that Platinum Taeyang was also in F grade when he first came to Korea.

-I was hiding my mana, but a goblin discovered that I was S-class…

Even though they said they would raise him, they didn’t believe him, so I often recalled what Goblin said when he first came to Korea.

-Our Wang Sam is not that kind of friend.

However, the situation was somewhat resolved as friends from his hometown and people from the place where he worked came forward one by one to refute the claim.

-This is a child who worked hard carrying stones using his abilities. He is a healthy young man who sells statues and lives with his parents!

-People are so kind and gentle that they end up spilling their wallets, but the kid is good!

In many ways, as it was revealed that he was not an S-class person whose identity had been hidden until now, but just an E-class person with special abilities who had been living a difficult life because he had no talent for martial arts, people began to focus on the goblin’s words again.

-Are you really saying that even though you are E-rank, you can still raise it to S-level?

Despite the fact that his abilities were below the basic level, he began to feel suspicious of the goblin’s words that he would make him an S-class.

Is it just any E grade?

In Korea, is it possible to make even a 9th grade student on the CSAT a 1st grade on the CSAT?

If a goblin had heard about this, he would have responded, ‘I will create a customized curriculum so that you can get into an S-level university instead of getting a top score on the CSAT.’

“There are no goblins today…?”

There was no goblin at the scene.

“I really thought I was looking for a gemstone that has not been excavated until now, but it is not there today.”

The Frodos scene in the dreamscape, the Gate of Masks, is still waiting for a new talented person, but the goblin himself is away from the scene.

“Where on earth is Goblin? Namgoong, do you know anything?”

“How would I know that? I’m not even a person on the patriotic train.”

“Namgoong, doesn’t he know everything?”

“I don’t know anything. I only know what I know.”

Thanks to this, the people of Palgahoe, who came out in the morning to talk to the goblin at least once, or more precisely to hear a word of well-being from the goblin, only saw the goblin’s empty seat.

“Whoaam. You’re not here at this hour? At the hotel?”

“Last night, I placed an order with the Baekgeumseong servants and said that they would eat breakfast on the train rather than at Baekgeumseong.”

“Then you didn’t come down to the White Gold Castle, so you must be on the patriotic train?”

“I don’t know. Was he on the train, or was he secretly going somewhere to avoid people’s eyes?”

The whereabouts of the goblin are unknown.

In the past, I would have put subtle pressure on the officials of the Korean Association right away, but I feel like calling the Korean Hero Association and finding out the location of the goblin.

“I’m going crazy. Where did they really go?”

There are no employees of the Korean Hero Association here who can identify their whereabouts.

The patriotic train only brought goblin people with it to China, and it was not possible to figure out how to stay in the White Gold Castle.

“How can it not be done with energy?”

“I’m trying, but the barrier is so strong.”

Moreover, S-class psychics tried to determine whether there was a goblin through mana detection, but it was impossible to see inside the Platinum Castle due to the extremely strong frozen mana barrier.

“That’s it. You must be working hard for your country on the patriotic train.”

“The main character usually appears later. It’s not time for the goblin door to open yet. It will come just in time.”

“What will you do if it doesn’t arrive exactly on time? Is there any problem if I come late? Anyway, all you have to do is check what’s shining on that door.”

The people of the Paljia Society who came directly to the dream world gave their own guesses, but their true intentions were the same.

“Would you like to go through that masked door today?”

“Ah, of course. My adoptive father told me not to go in without permission, but you never know.”

The hope that E-class can also become S-class.

“The day I rose to S rank with martial arts alone. Isn’t it possible that I may discover some truly incredible talent and become someone who can be recognized as an SS-level person?”

This is an opportunity for those who are S-class to advance not just to S-class, but to SS-class, which can actually be said to be the strongest line in humanity.

“You can do it as if you were swinging your weapon with electricity like the Thunder Emperor did.”

“Ah, you mean the ‘Tokyo Tower Charm’.”

In reality, there is no specific technical name, but on the Internet, the Tokyo Tower held hostage by the devil was more impressive than the one that separated the devil.

As a result, even today, the Emperor himself is trying to somehow remove the word Tokyo Tower Charm from the Internet community, but the ‘meme’ cannot be easily removed through the efforts of one person.

It’s human nature to want to do something more if you’re not supposed to do it.

“Then, let’s go in. I wish we had that kind of power too.”

“What would you do if they said there was one? Should we be afraid that we will lose our place as adoptees due to the creation of new S-classes? Or should we celebrate the birth of a new S-class in this country?”

“…You could say it’s both.”

Namgunghyeong, a member of the Eight Houses Association, clapped his hands lightly and smiled bitterly.

“No matter who is selected as S-class, it is something that should be congratulated. Isn’t that what they say in America’s special ability sports as well?”

Namgung-hyung stepped forward, clenching his fists at the members of the Eight Houses Association.

“New heroes are always welcome.”

To the door of the goblin mask.

After a while.

“Aaaaa!! Fuck, it’s done ㅡㅡㅡ!!”

Another demonic candidate was born.

* * *

At that time, a cafe in Shanghai.

“Uncle. What are you looking at?”

“Namgoong was selected as a candidate for Lightning.”

I glanced at the tablet to a small, pink-haired girl with a suspiciously high magical power who called me ‘uncle’.

“The image of the Namgung family in Korea has a deep connection with the sky and lightning. It seems like the world’s will has reached there too.”

“That’s right. The most representative martial art of the Namgung family is the Changgung martial arts sword technique, but there are also things like the thunder sword and lightning sword.”

Next to the pink-haired girl, there is another girl sucking on a strawberry Tanghulu.

Like the pink-haired girl, she has a suspiciously large amount of mana in her body, but compresses that mana to its limit-

“It is concentrated.”

…I was just shocked by the behavior of these conscienceless adults who had become so small that they were barely 130cm tall-

“Yes, yes. Our Ma Ye-ryeong, did you want to eat candy?”

“Hmph…. Please buy something else instead of this. Something else.”

“What else besides candy?”

“Add whipped cream three times to the iced Frappuccino, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the whipped cream.”

“…Isn’t it a bit heavy for a child around 10 years old to eat?”

“I don’t know. How can we continue to grow from here and now?”

“No, it’s done. Just order it.”

I decided to hang out.

“We came out for an inspection before installing the mask gate in Shanghai, and the inspection team was actually enjoying it the most.”

“You should enjoy it, oppa.”

“…….”

“Why.”

Next to Cheon-Ma Ye-ryeong, a girl with yellow hair who was similar in height but whose magic power could not be suppressed no matter how hard she tried, spoke while looking at the menu.

“Others may not know, but Jieun, aren’t you allowed to say things like that?”

“No. Just move on. Because everyone experienced an unfortunate childhood, they want to spend their childhood like everyone else.”

“Ha.”

It may be bold, but if you say something like that, I have nothing to say.

In fact, it is correct to say that other childhoods were unfortunate.

Children who were born as S-class children and had to grow up confined in facilities by government agencies from an early age.

In elementary school, instead of hanging out with other kids their age, playing phone games or hanging out at the Taekwondo gym, they spent their days accumulating data on S-class mock battle simulators.

Everyone wants to return to childhood.

Or, they want to enjoy something new that they did not enjoy as a child.

still.

“Could you please consider my position as I enter a cafe with three girls who look like elementary school students.”

“It’s okay. No one who looks at me now will think I’m a goblin.”

“I just changed my hairstyle and wore the glasses that Cheon Ju-yeon wears?”

“Yes. It’s okay because the person looks different. And….”

Seong Ji-eun, who was in elementary school, pointed around with her eyes and whispered very softly.

“Thanks to you, we are now able to find a new S-class candidate among those gathered here in Shanghai’s Second Dream.”

“…Okay.”

The demon aptitude test through the door of the goblin mask is still being conducted in Beijing.

‘They are gathering in Shanghai below.’

With the news that I will be moving to Shanghai after the inspection in Beijing, everyone in southern China is flocking here in search of possibilities.

And especially, there are many people here who have ‘potential’.

wound.

provisional government.

This is where the traces of those who once waged an independence movement within China remain the strongest.

“I don’t know if everyone feels it, but…”

On this land.

“I feel certain.”

are gathering.

People.

And recognized those people.

“Shanghai is being filled with the spirit of patriotism.”

Hwan’s will is gathering.

In front of the cafe where we sat.

“Starting from the provisional government building in Shanghai, there will be candidates for the devil chosen by Hwan’s will in each region. Obviously.”
