Episode 150
Princess Knight and Saint (2)
-Kwaaang!!!
Stirring the fluttering dust with a hand fan, he straightened his knees and stood up.
“Coke-! oh, Mr. Look at the dust.”
As the dust slowly spread, the outlines of the surrounding scene, which had been difficult to see, began to emerge.
The round ones are obviously human heads, and the long and thin ones are arms and legs.
I heard a series of choking sounds from time to time around me, as if I wasn’t the only one who ate the dirt from the fall earlier.
Rather than saying that the noise caused a nuisance, the situation I’m in right now is so funny that the corners of my mouth twitch.
As I stretched my back and twisted my body around, I felt a tingling pain in my knee, so I turned my knee around with a grunt.
Fortunately, there are no abnormalities.
Hey, I thought my knees were all broken. I will never eat this again.
I thought it was sweet potatoes that were force-fed when the heroes who sometimes run fine in superhero movies stumbled on their feet, but when I landed in this position, I felt it.
It was because of the water on my overworked kneecap.
Let the crap go like this.
“Are you very late? Isn’t it over?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“holy shit… … .”
I turned to the open-mouthed teammates behind me and smiled as refreshingly as I could and asked.
I praise you.
I was satisfied with the reaction of the guys who are about to die.
Originally, the audience likes this kind of directing when the person who is being victimized is the same.
“Golden Sun… … .”
This time, there was a voice calling me from the podium.
When I looked back with my body intact, I saw a sword master that seemed to be sticking to the ground after undergoing an extreme half-roof motion.
“This fucking indistinguishable bastard… … .”
I was going to say something about the word kid, but I held back.
-Hey, there… … .
When I saw the moderator wondering whether I should continue or not, I was reminded of what I came here for.
Yes, you should get an award. Only then can you go to a good job, a guild, and make a living while laughing.
“Ah— yes You should get an award. Can only the team leader go up?”
I strode up to the platform divided into three steps and stood in front of the sword master.
Looking at his expression right in front of his nose, it seemed that he was not very angry.
His eyebrows twitch, and the corners of his mouth quiver.
Still, the sword master is the sword master, so no matter how selfish he behaves, he does it in a place unknown to the general public, and there is no way a nobleman who is old enough to play in an international setting like this.
He smiled as much as he could to welcome him.
I heard Anya’s breath behind her back.
“Sword Lord, long time no see?”
“… … I thought it was a little better, but it’s not at all.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I did it right away before anyone said anything. People are not rewriting.”
But it’s strange.
“The thunder-naked bastard who only spoke——someday, I will definitely break your habit and fix it.”
It’s really strange.
It can’t be like this.
Team members, the moderator, and even the guests were watching the good words of the sword master and me with bated breath, fearing that sparks would splatter themselves.
I scratched my head and nodded my head to find the reason for the strangeness.
“First, give me a certificate and a trophy. Aren’t you here to do that?”
“… … It’s just a pity that Korea’s best talent is you.”
“Hmm—.”
He looked up at the sky and stared at the lamenting sword master.
Then he turned his gaze to the other humans around him.
Sword masters and ordinary people. There is not much difference in facing each other.
Oh, was it something like that?
It wasn’t long before I knew the reason for the strangeness.
“You just have to hit very hard.”
“Sword Lord, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I thought—”
It was because he didn’t feel the ridiculous pressure from the sword master anymore.
“—Does it look particularly small today?”
In the past, he had the ‘power’ to choke me just by standing there.
And that principle is now clearly visible to my eyes.
The magic power that the sword master unconsciously radiates dominates the surroundings and fluctuates according to his emotions.
“Who is this carnal guy?!”
The blue air waves surrounding him approached me fiercely, perhaps with the intention of making me shut up, but I was repelled by the whitish magic that surrounded me.
Geomju, who witnessed the scene where his giwave didn’t work, frowned.
On the other hand, my smile deepened.
-Sword Lord?
“… … No, what would you like to talk about with you? It was my fault for expecting it.”
The sword master sighed and grabbed the microphone again. I was satisfied with the look.
Of course, I know that this is not his strength.
There was no way his power, which had already reached the level of fame long ago, could bounce off me so lightly.
But compared to the time when I was lethargic in the past, I felt that I had grown too.
-Then, we will proceed with the awards ceremony for the first place team.
The Sword Master’s voice resonated throughout the arena.
* * *
After the awards ceremony, I went out without thinking and had to suffer for a long time because I was caught by reporters who would bother me and miscellaneous people.
I’m going out the back door like the other kids… … .
Somehow, Chevalier, who was used to this kind of situation, quietly coaxed the kids into going out through the back door.
“Geumtaeyang-kun—! Say something about this final!”
“Geum Taeyang student. Now, it is becoming a topic that a student’s story that a dragon flies out of a stream! Do you have anything to say to them?!”
“The technique you used at the end of the final! Experts are analyzing with sword steel! Have you reached a new height?!”
“Geumtaeyang student—!”
This is why people have to be equipped with intelligence, but I was forced to empty my brain and move and suffered an unexpected disaster.
‘… … What the hell am I supposed to answer?’
Most of the gazes I usually receive were filled with repulsion or disgust, so I’m not used to such attention mixed with attention.
Because they are literally different types.
Camera flashes exploding from all sides and a hand gesture trying to hold on to the hem of my clothes somehow.
Even though there was a low-chin prevention grate to prevent access, they reached out with their hands, microphones, and cameras to reach me somehow.
As I looked at the clamoring crowd, a sudden thought occurred to me.
Do I have more images to manage?
Of course, it was the first place to be shown to the public.
So it was even more important, and even so, the evaluation within the academy was already smashed-.
Vandalism, fighting, escaping group assignments, group fights, and even a mess at today’s awards ceremony.
I improved a little by winning the team match this time, but those who know are already aware of it.
In the end, it just takes time, and it will spread in an instant.
In the past, when I was lying in my own room with a musty smell that was less than a few square meters and scratching my stomach while reading a novel, something suddenly came to me.
I called it Enlightenment, and if I didn’t like the development or the circumstances of the novel, maybe this would be better.
And now it was like that.
Why are you trying to fix the image?
Have you already reached the peak? Is there anything to shy away from?
When I was weak, things were exactly the opposite.
Wouldn’t it be easier to be active if you look like an idiot?
There are two cases in which people do not question random human behavior.
One is extremely nice.
or extremely stupid.
And forming an image in a short period of time was overwhelmingly quick and easy with the latter.
If I show an intelligent and courteous appearance contrary to what I have here, I will be wary of appearing in unexpected places.
‘What the hell was that person aiming for here?’
‘Maybe something great is hidden?’
‘Let’s follow.’
‘If I chase after him, the beans might run out.’
I said.
My skills had already spread through broadcasting while dealing with Lee Yu-ra, who had achieved the second awakening, and the governments or power agencies of each country would have seen through the fact that the last one I used was sword steel.
Not good. My future activities are based on the information I already know, but it’s annoying to explain every time they dig into every case, and I don’t have time for that either.
If you don’t explain it, you will dig deeper, and if that happens, more troublesome things will be involved.
That’s a specification here.
But what if I am an image of a fool? What if the world knew that I was the kind of guy who only digs for pure fun and what I’m interested in?
Such annoying things disappear in one fell swoop.
‘That bastard came to buy something again.’
‘Let’s avoid it.’
‘Are you avoiding shit because it’s dirty or because you’re scared?’
Yes, if you can’t avoid attention, use it instead. Fortunately or unfortunately, my appearance is the most insane, it’s time to use it properly.
The width of the left and right iron bars is about 3 meters.
This is enough to unfold one side of the play.
I turned to look at the crowd reaching out to turn me away.
should be characterized among them. Of course, that wasn’t difficult.
Among the people gathered here, those who tried to reach me even with the most zealous struggles—
Because the authors who can best spread the existence of the new Master to the world have been decided.
I stepped out.
approached the reporters.
“Geumtaeyang student-!”
“Please look this way!”
“Here it is! here!”
“Come~!!!”
“Geumtaeyang-kun, I have something to ask you!”
I snorted at the reporters who were jumping like carp as they gathered to eat rice cakes sprinkled in the pond.
As I got closer, I raised my head stiffly to look as arrogant as possible toward the camera.
From now on, I’m a crazy golden sun.
From now on, I’m a crazy golden sun.
I muttered that and approached the barbed wire.
“Did you ask me something?”
“Uh-huh!?”
I stood in front of a female reporter.
A vague ‘red’ passed behind her as she hesitated, not knowing if it would actually come.
Something seemed to come to mind, but it didn’t matter, so I ignored it. Because the things I had to do right now were more important.
“You say you have something to ask, why don’t you ask?”
I tried to scoop it up, but when things came up, I was looking at her hesitantly, lamentably, when a camera was suddenly pushed close to my face.
“Geumtaeyang student! I won this competition, so please tell me how you feel!”
I turned my head to see a man in a shirt, sweating profusely, pointing the head of a huge broadcast camera at me.
It’s truly fantastic timing.
At just the right moment, I could see myself reflected in the camera lens that came in.
Displeased blond, tanned skin.
sharp eyes and twisted laughter.
It is perfect.
Now, you guys, take pictures of me. If possible, record in detail.
I’m going to broadcast my image created like that to the whole country, no, to the whole world.
That a new sword master has appeared.
That a person who has set foot on that high level of God has newly appeared in Korea.
and… … .
That your new god is the one and only one in the world.
He spread the palm of his right hand.
Put magic power in your hands.
Whitish-white brilliance rippled along the blade.
I wielded the violence created in that way mercilessly.
-Wow!
‘What used to be a camera’ was disassembled to such an extent that it was difficult to even recognize its shape at the touch of my hand.
Shattered shards of black plastic are strewn across the floor.
“… … uh?”
As if he did not understand the situation, the man opened his mouth wide and alternately looked at the smashed camera and my face.
“Ka, a camera?”
As if I had seen something disgusting, I widened my eyes and furrowed my brows.
Yes. This is a look of contempt.
After sharpening his teeth once at reporter Nam, he lowered his voice, took air out of his lungs, and chewed it out.
“How dare you… … . A dirty boy trying to take a picture of my face?”
Something is missing. I’m still not satisfied with this one.
– Tsurreung.
“Uh huh?! uh?”
He pulled out an arondite from his waist and breathed magic into it.
Whitish-white magic began to fluctuate along the black-blue blade.
The light became fire, and the fire soon followed the sword body and took shape.
“It’s sword steel!”
“The rumors were right!”
“Is it the birth of a new god?!”
The moment when the sword steel was completed.
-Kwaaang!!!
I slammed down on the wide open floor.
The hard asphalt floor cracked and suffered huge fan-shaped scars.
The split floor stopped right in front of the bars where people were standing.
The son-in-law became quiet in an instant, perhaps because of the overwhelming force accompanied by the heavy drinking.
I stood in front of the sword scars carved on the floor and shouted.
“Do you want to interview me?!”
The crowd was silent, and I closed my eyes and cried out.
“Then show the least sincerity! Alcohol, money, women, artifacts don’t matter. Or at least bring me something that I find interesting or interesting!”
It is quiet everywhere.
I raised my voice even more.
“This is a declaration! I won’t be interviewed by a dirty bastard who rushes at me without any preparation. If you want to get a word or even a line of news from me, bring it yourself!”
After that, I nodded my head as if it was nothing to the guards who were preparing to pounce on me from behind. After confirming that my condition is fine, they withdraw.
Perhaps because they had just seen my strength, I could clearly see the fading red in the distance between the guards who were following me with utmost care. And the moment I confirmed the owner of the red one, I muttered in amazement.
“No, why is he here!?”
With that question, I was socially self-determined in an honorable position.
It seemed like tears would come out.
