Chapter 178: Crisis As Opportunity (2)

Chapter 178: Crisis As Opportunity (2)

While Baek Seol-hee was still out cold, I carefully connected earphones to the tablet, ensuring she wouldnt wake up.

[Platinum Sun! The woman who purified the devil, flew through space, and single-handedly subdued the S-class demon Haftod! Shes a formidable opponent!]

Armored Taejo was overjoyed at the appearance of Platinum Sun.

He probably thought the Goblin wouldnt show up, but he seemed as delighted as if he had caught an unexpectedly big fish.

It looks like he just wants to show off his improved skills.

Armored Taejo was a typical braggart.

Assuming hes in his early twenties, its as if hes bragging about being a top player and challenging a professional gamer to a 1:1 top lane battle after reaching Challenger.

Publicly, he may seem different, but in his heart, thats probably what Armored Taejo felt.

So, whats the principle behind Yumirs actions, who was attracted by his aggro?

There were three reasons.

One was to teach Armored Taejo a lesson for making noise at dawn.

Another was irritation that it was finally her turn to show patriotism, but Armored Taejo attracted Goblins aggro.

And the last was stress relief.

Its not about the stress of not being able to act patriotically or built-up anxiety.

The stress I was talking about was due to the worlds gossip about Platinum Suns power.

In other words.

An S-class combat power meter.

Yumir intended to prove that she didnt just defeat the Half-Toad by a surprise attack but was genuinely powerful by defeating Armored Taejo.

-Platinum Sun? I acknowledge shes a demon-fighting specialist. But claiming top-tier status just because you can hit their weak points haha.

Its not just about having a relative advantage against demons.

-The ability to move through space is an EX-class cheat skill, I admit. But whats the use of just moving through space? Can you really fight properly? Have you shown your skills against a villain? Oh, you can only fight demons? Haha.

She wasnt just a supporter with a special ability.

-Isnt she just a pervert who freely wears weird costumes?

Rather than being a character with an unusual appearance

She aimed to prove herself as a genuine EX-class ability user who had shocked the Korean Peninsula and shaken the world.

People always pick their battles. You dont just crack open a pumpkin seed without looking.

Yes.

Picking battles wisely.

Even if the world was chaotic with various incidents, and even if Platinum Sun was just starting to make her name known.

-No matter how strong the Goblin is cough. Its nothing. I didnt think anything, Villain superior!

If someone like the Goblin showed overwhelming power and accomplishments, those who feared retaliation would naturally grovel.

A good choice.

After defeating the S-class combat power meter, she would definitively prove herself as an S-class.

That must have been why Yumir stepped forward so confidently.

[The time for patriotism should be solemn.]

Right?

It couldnt be that she was doing this because her patriotic time was interrupted.

Or maybe not.

Kaang!

The scattered scrap metal dragons were swiftly sliced by golden blades.

Platinum Sun didnt just sever the connections between the clumps of scrap metal; she sliced through them with her blade, showcasing her power.

Kuh, ugh!!

[Using a field instead of a suit is a good idea. But for that, you should at least create a scrap metal island.]

Platinum Sun pointed the tip of her blade at Armored Taejo.

[Surrender?]

Bu-but weve only started fighting 3 minutes ago!

[You lasted about as long as it takes to cook instant noodles. Good job.]

Platinum Sun tapped Armored Taejos shoulder with the flat side of her golden blade, and Taejo clenched his teeth, trembling.

Me!

[Im not belittling you. You can grow and become stronger. But.]

Platinum Sun sheathed her sword and turned around.

[For now, Im just stronger.]

I ask you. Whats the secret behind your strength?

Both Nana and Yumir hadnt solved this problem yet, and both were trying to figure out Baek Seol-hees external shield-type costume transformation.

Although its not yet possible to transform as quickly as 0.1 seconds like a normal transformation.

Sigh. Anyway, that immature guy, bothering people since dawn.

The sun is slowly rising while you were away.

Ah.

Yumir looked gloomy.

Why of all times.

Why?

After dealing with it quickly and coming back Ah, never mind.

She began to speak naturally but then stopped herself.

Even though Baek Seol-hee was still unconscious, it was better to be cautious in conversation.

Really annoying. Should I have just let the Goblin handle it?

Even if you hadnt gone, the Goblin wouldnt have shown up, right?

Then what was the Goblin doing at that time?

Probably pondering why that immature guy was drawing aggro so early in the morning.

That was indeed the case.

Wanting to prove ones skills isnt solely because of the Duoexini incident. There must be other reasons behind it.

Do you know?

Investigations done. Now that weve cleaned Seol-hee up, shall we go to her house and talk?

I removed the Taeguk Watch and picked up Baek Seol-hee, blanket and all.

Please.

Ugh. Im starting to feel like a space teleportation shuttle.

Then teach it to Seol-hee.

It seems more affectionate to call her now.

We agreed to speak informally. In private.

Can I speak informally too?

Not you.

In the Land of Courtesy.

Saaa.

I immediately entered her room, carrying Baek Seol-hee.

Its cleaner than I thought?

Tell me about it. I was super surprised too.

Yumir shrugged her shoulders lightly.

I could glimpse the truth in her expression but didnt point it out.

Yumir.

Yes?

After Seol-hee wakes up and we eat, I have somewhere to go with you.

Oh, that. But, is it okay not to go to work?

Theres something more important than going to work.

I wrote on Yumirs back with my finger.

Secret Society Intern.

Oh my.

It seems the Zenros will enter Sejong Island in three days.

Finally.

Two S-class heroes for escort.

Ah.

Yumir flicked her finger.

Did Armored Taejo get cut?

Yeah. He volunteered but was pushed out of the candidates.

Even though hes S-class.

Its too heavy a task to entrust to Taejo.

Even more so.

With A-class also participating in the escort mission.
