Chapter 121
All 4 schedules are over.
Now, the only remaining schedule for the match is the finals tomorrow.
[Person-to-person finals]
[AM 11:30]
[Korea VS USA]
As expected, the finalists were South Korea and the United States.
There was no such thing as an anomaly.
Adela and Dahlia won a landslide victory in the semifinals and advanced to the final without incident.
[Korea, a step forward to breaking new records.]
[Does history change in 137 years?]
Now, Korea’s record breaking is really close.
Articles like this were pouring like crazy on large portals around the world.
It was natural.
This is a new record after 137 years.
Not paying attention is a more unreasonable request.
[Adela Stewart. Defeat British genius Kyle Ventia!]
[How Adela Stewart beat Kyle Ventia.]
[Circle 4 VS Circle 5! Break through the 7.3% win rate and win spectacularly!]
Even more so, the content of the game was so good that I couldn’t even describe it.
Adela from the 4th circle won against Kyle from the 5th circle.
Literally blue.
The world cheered at the appearance of a new genius.
[I’m tired.]
Among them, the hottest place was definitely Korea.
Korea is currently burning dozens of times hotter than the world cheers.
[A real record breaking is right in front of you.]
[I have to go to work tomorrow, and I watch the finals unconditionally.]
[I never thought I would be able to see a sight like this in my lifetime. Whoop whoop.]
Korea is also on the verge of breaking a new record.
The one who beat Kyle was also a Korean player.
As a Korean, it was natural for my heart to become hot.
[Kids, let’s all calm down. It seems so exciting.]
[Even if we beat Dahlia tomorrow, we still have two more matches left. From now on, it’s really kimchi soup.]
[huh. Bullshit, right? If you win the match tomorrow, it will actually break a new record, right?]
[Dahlia and Kyle have one chance to compete. Shin Ha-ryul 2 times. Either open raid or labyrinth exploration is 100% guaranteed victory.]
[And in the remaining game, Shin Ha-yul Adela can never lose to Kyle or Dahlia with a one-two punch.]
Shin Ha-yul destroyed the union between Kyle and Dahlia alone.
And Adela who beat Kyle.
If these two work together, it won’t be that hard to win the remaining two games.
[Honestly, Shin Ha-yul would win even if he went alone?]
[Shin Ha-yul is a god and Korea is the strongest.]
[Winning is copied?]
Koreans took Shin Ha-yul’s victory for granted to the extent that such words were widely spread.
[Tomorrow’s final is the problem before the labyrinth exploration and open raid that Shin Ha-yul will participate in.]
[Honestly, it’s a terrible disadvantage. A miracle if you win.]
[agreed. To be honest, Adela is Dahlia’s inferior.]
Adela and Dahlia are both ranged mages who value firepower.
As they are of the same type, the difference in circles is bound to come as an absolute difference.
If you think soberly, you can never win.
[hey. If that’s the case, why did Kyle win because he was easygoing?]
[Our Adela-sama must have an idea~ I mean this.]
[Dahlia was at least backward compatible, Kyle was an extreme counter. I won the counter, but is there anything I can’t win because it’s backwards compatible?]
[Will a miracle happen twice?]
[Honestly, I think I would lose if I took out all my personal selfishness.]
On the Internet, a war of words was constantly going on about Adela’s victory or defeat.
[after. Whatever it is, don’t just post bad comments just because Adela lost.]
[All bastards who complain about this should go out and search. It’s a game that’s virtually impossible to win.]
[Honestly, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed even if I lose. The gold medal has already been confirmed, but what haha]
“phew.”
Ji Soon-chan, who was watching the community’s reaction in real time, let out a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, I don’t think I’ll become a traitor even if I lose.”
“what?”
Jin Hee-yoon, who was watching the reaction on the Internet like Ji Soon-chan, tilted his head as if he was talking about that.
“The game tomorrow. I was worried that everyone would be blinded by the new record, that if I lost, I would be a traitor or something.”
It is no exaggeration to say that breaking a new record depends on Adela’s win or loss.
As such, there was a chance that Adela would be scolded by everyone if she lost.
“Are you worried about useless things like that?”
“It’s called Yubimuhwan. Wouldn’t it be nice to be prepared?”
“… … Guess who isn’t the new leader’s friend? Aren’t you the type to live a pretty tiring life?”
Jin Hee-yoon burst out laughing.
No matter how extreme the Korean media is, there is no way they can criticize a player who has played hard.
“Rather than that, are Jisoo and leader Shin still locked in their rooms?”
“yes.”
Immediately after returning to the hotel, Shin Ha-yul and Adela locked themselves in their room.
2 hours after that.
The two are still not showing up.
“What the hell are you doing without even having dinner?”
“Iknow, right.”
“Even if you wanted to go and ask, you nailed it so that you wouldn’t come… … .”
Jin Hee-yoon pursed her lips.
He felt sorry for Shin Ha-yul and Adela, who were doing something secretly to him.
“There must be a reason I can’t tell you. I’ll tell you when the time comes… … .”
It was when Ji Sun-chan tried to appease Jin Hee-yoon.
Woo-woo-!
Koo Goo Goong-!
“Kyaaak!”
“Oops!”
Suddenly, the grounds of the hotel shook, and a strong wind blew in.
“What, what, all of a sudden? Could it be that Mana has to be destroyed again?”
Disparate tremors and gusts that don’t feel natural at all.
Jin Hee-yoon jumped up in fright at the seemingly unusual situation.
The hotel I was staying at last time must have collapsed due to a mana disaster. There is no guarantee that this will not happen again.
“Sunchan! Let’s escape outside for now!”
“… … .”
“Sunchan?”
Jisun-chan didn’t answer.
Just staring in one direction with a blank expression.
“Isn’t this Adela’s mana?”
“… … uh?”
Jin Hee-yoon’s eyes also widened.
“Really?”
The mana that filled the entire hotel was surprisingly similar in nature to Adela’s mana.
And this feeling… … .
“I think it feels similar to the mana from the day Adela said she was breaking the wall of enlightenment.”
“I heard and saw… … .”
Jin Hee-yoon’s pupils widened even more.
“Does it seem right?”
The two stared at the direction where Shin Ha-yul’s room was and the direction where mana was flowing out, with a half-fazed look on their faces.
“Then what is it? Are you saying that you are breaking down the wall of enlightenment again?”
“Did you see that?”
“… … Are you crazy?”
Jin Hee-yoon and Ji Soon-chan burst into laughter one after another.
* * *
Adela sits comfortably on the floor, closes her eyes, and concentrates.
Mana is rotating around Adela’s body at a constant speed.
Mana circulation was perfectly stable.
‘good.’
You can find out without having to activate the new design.
Currently, a new ring is slowly taking shape around Adela’s heart.
The next time Adela opens her eyes, she will be a 5th circle user.
I left Adela behind and headed out of the room.
He slowly opened the door, stepped out, and closed the door.
“young master.”
As soon as the door closed, Mr. Seokhyun appeared.
“Could it be Miss Adela again… … .”
“yes. This time, we are completely breaking down the wall of enlightenment.”
Seokhyun’s pupils trembled slightly at my answer.
“The word completely destroying it… … Crossing the wall of the circle… … do you mean?”
“yes. Now Adela is weaving the fifth loop in real time.”
“oh my god… … .”
Kim Seok-hyun half-opened his mouth in amazement.
“So, would you please contact the Shadows and block all those who come here? To keep Adela’s concentration intact.”
“yes. of course. I will give you instructions right away.”
Mr. Seok-hyeon gave instructions to the shadow members through the small walkie-talkie he was holding in his hand.
“It’s done.”
“thank you.”
The third floor is now a complete safe zone. No one can enter the third floor from now until tomorrow morning.
“by the way. To think that he was willing to give me an elixir with this level of efficacy… … .”
Kim Seok-hyun stared at me with an expression of surprise.
“As expected, the young master was also a man.”
“… … yes?”
And then he said something out of the ordinary. Are you suddenly a man?
“I can give you that precious thing as a gift. After all, men are all the same when it comes to love.”
“?”
I can’t read the flow of the conversation at all.
“Still, not showing off at all is a mistake. Because love is established only when you show off. When giving something like the tears of the earth as a gift, you need to create a dramatic production in your own way to appeal enough… … .”
“wait a minute. Is that the Tears of the Earth?”
At my words, Kim Seok-hyun’s smile grew even thicker.
“You don’t have to pretend. An elixir given to Miss Adela by the Bocchan. I know they are the Tears of the Earth.”
Tears of the Earth.
One of the three elixirs that are considered the best among existing elixirs.
It is said that the value is enough to buy a small country.
Did I present such a great elixir to Adela?
Where and how did such nonsense come from and spread?
Could it be that he mistook God’s grace for the tears of the earth?
Certainly, the taste and texture are similar to tears of the earth… … .
“Personally, I have some regrets that I would like the young master to eat it himself, but considering that the person who will eventually become the master of the house eats it, it is future-oriented… … .”
As if he had already imagined me and Adela’s children, Mr. Seok-hyun became a vivid expression of the world.
It was the first time I knew he had a side like that.
“Whatever it is, leave it to me. The Secret Service is also looking good on Master Ha-yul. My relationship with Miss Adela isn’t bad either, so I’ll tell the head of the family well… … .”
“… … .”
I looked at Mr. Seok-hyeon, who was running out of control, and couldn’t answer anything, just smiled.
* * *
1:00 a.m. that day.
While Adela was resting in the new room, leaving the room where mana circulation was being performed.
[Caller: Father]
[Come to my room right now.]
I was summoned by my father and headed to the room on the top floor where my father was staying.
“Did you call?”
He was wearing a suit, as if he had just returned from an important event.
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
I sat across from the sofa where my father was sitting.
“heard. Adela has risen to the 5th circle.”
“yes.”
“I also heard that the power of the elixir you gifted me was great.”
“… … yes.”
Father’s smile deepened.
It was a smile that made people uneasy.
“okay. Adela has a heart?”
I knew it.
My anxious premonition was right.
“It is a misunderstanding.”
I really wanted to, but I never thought I would have said all of that.
“You can’t deny it. I understand everything.”
It was a face I never understood.
“father. That’s a real misunderstanding… … .”
“done. Let’s talk about this later when we go back to Korea.”
“So I want Adela… … .”
“hmm. Sangcheol is the problem. How will that guy who only knows his daughter react… … .”
“… … .”
My father seemed completely unwilling to listen to me.
No, no matter what I say, you won’t even listen.
From the moment I gifted Adela the world’s best elixir, ‘Tears of the Earth’, without consuming it, my heart was directed towards Adela.
If love is not the reason, there is no reason for me to yield the elixir to Adela.
My father must have thought so.
‘I just gave it to you because there was no point in eating it… … .’
However, there was no way to refute it because it could not explain the grace of God.
“okay. If Adela is in the 5th circle, there will be a high probability of winning in the match tomorrow.”
“yes. We will definitely win.”
Dahlia strategy has already been completed. Even in the 4th circle, the win rate was 50%, but now that I am in the 5th circle, do I need to say that?
No, in the first place, Adela’s win rate would be high even if she just stuck without a strategy.
Adela’s ability to perfectly absorb God’s grace is incomparable to that of Dalia Salentia.
“The gold medal is confirmed. It is only natural that he won a new record.”
“yes.”
My father’s eyes widened.
“And if the new record is broken, even Ji-han will never be able to stay still. This time, something will happen.”
“yes.”
I’m saving myself now, but if a new record is right around the corner, I’ll have no choice but to overdo it no matter how new I am.
You won’t be able to sit still and give me a seat as the next head coach.
“In addition to that, it would be perfect if you show something amazing in the labyrinth exploration that starts tomorrow afternoon… … .”
The father’s eyes shone meaningfully.
“So you called me to say that.”
Show me something in the labyrinth exploration that starts tomorrow.
Shake Shin Ji-han’s spirit with it, and make it forced to move.
It was like that.
“All right. I will try.”
I stared into my father’s eyes with a confident expression.
“It’s not okay to be mean. I have to show you something even greater than what you have shown me so far.”
“yes. I know.”
If you want to fret Shin Ji-han, you can’t do anything.
That much I know.
“I will show you a magic that will surprise not only Jihan-hyung, but also your father.”
My magic has evolved even further as I reached the 5th circle.
A ‘chant’ using the circle of truth.
It was the moment when the place to show off that power was decided.
