Chapter 108 – How To Win

“Ugh, I feel like committing an act of terrorism.”

“...At the very least, please be aware that you are a hero candidate.”

At Yoo Eunchae’s muttering, Abel responded with a disgusted expression.

“But think about it, imagine. The villains are diligently preparing something, and the hero commits an act of terror with a bomb over it.”

“...”

“Isn’t it thrilling?”

This woman was indeed a lunatic.

Abel was seriously considering whether to kill her right now to avoid future troubles.

In front of Han Seojin, she was extremely well-behaved.

But the occasional madness was unlike that of any other student.

“Anyway, be careful. Your actions are starting to get noticed outside.”

“Ah, I hate it. The U.S. or China thoroughly protects their students, so why doesn’t Korea protect us?”

“Well, if you want to live in the wild like them, with outhouses for bathrooms, old beds, and only cold water in the showers...”

“Korea daisuki!”

“Why the sudden Japanese? Anyway, I need to prepare for class, so I’ll be going now.”

“Got it.”

After sending Abel away, Yoo Eunchae thought.

‘I want to commit an act of terrorism.’

She wanted to cause a big explosion.

She wanted to experiment with her newly acquired traits.

With such thoughts, she turned on her phone and saw a news article at the top of the video site.

[The Collapsed Iron-Blood Sword Clan, Is It Okay As It Is?]

It was a video.

‘Oh my.’

Was the Iron-Blood Sword Clan collapsing now?

Yoo Eunchae had a bewildered expression.

The Five Great Clans.

Among them, the most outstanding was the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.

They had sold themselves out.

But they were still useful.

For their own benefit, they killed other demonic followers and expanded their territory.

So she left them alone.

‘Why suddenly annihilate the clan and cause trouble?!’

Yoo Eunchae quickly clicked on the video.

What kind of action led to this future? What butterfly effect caused this?

As she clicked on the video, a thought crossed her mind.

A very familiar face appeared.

With white hair fluttering, a man with blue eyes was smiling confidently.

“What?”

The culprit who brought down the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.

It was none other than her professor, Han Seojin.

Realizing this, Yoo Eunchae made a foolish expression.

The students were gathered.

I wanted to know their current level.

‘It’s absolutely not because I want to experiment with a new trait.’

Eternal God.

Its divine name was simple.

Become eternal.

‘Actually, this just enhances the unique traits.’

It was a faith related to time.

Aside from that, I noticed a few changes while experimenting yesterday.

The most significant thing.

‘The effect of the Glacial Heavenly Moon has increased.’

The magic of ice imbued with destruction.

It had become more intense.

Even I was quite surprised by this. Roughly.

‘The output has increased by about five times.’

An absurd output.

However, a problem arose.

‘It has become difficult to use Divine Thunderbolt.’

The ice of destruction from the Glacial Heavenly Moon.

And the harmonious flame from Brilliant Blazing Fire.

Combining these two to create an extreme reaction resulted in the Divine Thunderbolt.

But with one side becoming too strong, it has become difficult to use.

‘In this case, I might need to look into a new trait.’

A trait related to fire.

That had become necessary.

I folded my arms and leaned against the wall. What should I do?

‘The Flame of Harmony, Brilliant Blazing Fire, is difficult to enhance.’

“...That’s not it. Although they harbor darkness, isn’t it something everyone has to some extent? The Iron-Blood Sword Clan doesn’t necessarily have to exist, but they must be there to replace others. If they fall, everyone will join the power struggle.”

“Indeed.”

Even the Wi clan participated in this power struggle. They declared that they would become one of the Five Great Families this time, and that old man would do well.

“Therefore, I ask for your cooperation. This incident is on a scale that cannot be done alone. The only entities capable of orchestrating something of this magnitude are transcendents, as you know.”

“Is there such a duty?”

“Yes, all transcendents have duties. Thanks to them, we can live peacefully like this. However, this incident is not ordinary. It’s an event that only a transcendent-level entity could cause.”

The man in front of me adjusted his glasses and looked at me.

“Who is it?”

“Are you saying another transcendent helped me?”

“No, not a transcendent, but we suspect another high-ranking entity... or those tainted by evil.”

“That’s sad.”

Even though I did it, no one believes that I did.

‘Well, actually, that’s a good thing.’

Supreme Realm.

I reached the end, but the head of the family was weak.

He was just an ordinary guy who somehow got close to being a transcendent.

Perhaps the threshold of other top-level figures was more dangerous.

Maybe the person investigating me now was more wary of that.

‘I did some preparation.’

I spoke a few words to the principal.

No matter how powerful I was to bring down the Iron-Blooded Sword Family, doing it alone?

‘It’s obvious that obstacles would come from everywhere.’

There were people who mistakenly thought I caused incidents without any backup.

‘If I really did that, even the Emperor wouldn’t have given me immense resources.’

My political power was greater than expected.

Moreover, my martial prowess surpassed that.

My talent was even greater than that.

That’s why I could have all the resources of the empire.

“Anyway, let’s go now. Before the reporters come.”

I looked outside.

It seemed like some reporters were already there.

“Well, let’s go then.”

When we stepped outside, the reporters were already there.

“Mr. Han Seojin, you brought down the Iron-Blood Sword Clan this time. Do you have anything to say?”

“No interviews, please. Let’s go quickly.”

Ignoring the suit-clad man’s words, I hung my head down.

I recalled a sad memory.

[If I win this time, I have something to say.]

[Hmm?]

[I’ll bring a ring.]

[...What?]

The memory of getting hit by a truck when I was about to propose to my first love.

[What’s that flower?]

[I picked it up on the way. They say it’s good for recovery, so brew it and drink it.]

[Han Seojin. Are you giving flowers to another woman right in front of me?]

[Hmm?]

[...You really have no clue.]

The memory of causing a misunderstanding because of the possessiveness of the Duke of Extermination.

[Why, why are you being so nice to me?]

[Don’t you know the reason? Really?]

[Could it be that you, you... but I cannot betray the Heavenly Demon...]

[Don’t say that. Right now, that’s not what’s important.]

[...Han Seojin.]

The incident when I needed a subordinate and made the Flower Dragon my subordinate, causing a misunderstanding with the Heavenly Demon.

‘There was such a story.’

Cry to prove your innocence.

A scene from the novel I read during the first round.

It had been so long that I couldn’t remember well, but I recalled it was about proving innocence by crying.

Well, anyway.

How to win in politics?

It’s simple.

Attract attention.

“I, sniff... could not forgive the actions of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.”

Victory through tears.

If an article came out today, wouldn’t it be like this?

The reason the eldest son of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan had no choice but to bring it down.

The Iron-Blood Sword Clan was actually conducting human experiments.

Just like that.

‘So what.’

That was it.
