After coming out of the gate, we headed back to our hideout, Gakseong High School.
This is because they had to negotiate with the Seven Heroes, and even the strongest, Se-Sang, had to improve.
In particular, we had to solve problems given to us.
As for what the given problem is… … .
“So who will you select as the seven people who will enter the final gate?”
At Yoon Ga-on’s question, my expression hardened.
That’s because I haven’t decided on that yet.
There were promises made to other races, such as the high elf Leaf and the beastman Ruid, so of course I had to take them, as well as the main character Yunmir, so it was as if four people, including me, had already been decided.
There were only three left, and it was unclear whether the other colleagues would allow them to enter the final gate with members of different races.
Therefore, I could not answer Gaon Yoon’s question yet.
And there were still more people to ask.
“We should upload the video first.”
“video?”
“I’m working hard on editing right now.”
As I said that, I glanced at Yoo Ah-ram.
Yoo Ah-ram filmed everything that happened in Lucifer’s Demon Castle.
Yoo Ah-ram, who faithfully fulfilled his role as a professional GakTuber, was now diligently editing videos and uploading them to Gaktube.
Perhaps this one too will explode in views.
Because it was a video of people voting on the seven people who would enter the final gate.
While Yoo Ah-ram was editing the video, I returned to Awakening High School and gathered Yoon Mir, Leaf, and Ruid together.
“What’s going on?”
“Sorry, I wanted you to solve this first before taking a break.”
I showed the key in front of three people(?).
“Is this the key to enter the final gate?”
“that’s right.”
“But you have to solve this? “What are you talking about?”
“Literally. “This is currently sealed.”
I told them how to unlock the key that would open the final gate.
“You need the blood of your race… … . “There was a reason why you asked for our help and formed a death squad.”
I nodded at what Ruid said.
Without them, even if I got the key, I wouldn’t have been able to enter the final gate.
“good. “Then let’s get started right away.”
“i get it.”
First, Yunmir slightly cut his finger.
A drop of blood fell from Yunmir’s bloody finger onto the key, and the key absorbed the blood of the dragon that Yunmir dropped.
I looked at the key that glowed gold for a moment and then looked back at Leaf.
“ruler.”
Leaf also had blood dripping from her finger.
The key glowed emerald green, and when Ruid dropped a drop of blood, it glowed blue.
Finally, when I dropped my finger with blood, the key began to glow red and flash four lights at the same time.
[The key to the final gate is released from the seal.]
I clenched my fists as I looked at the system message that appeared before my eyes.
Now all I had to do was recruit seven people to enter the final gate.

-Hello, this is Yoo Ah-ram! The reason I started my first real-time live streaming today is to ask you to choose the seven people who will enter the final gate.
The video edited by Yoo Ah-ram was uploaded to each tube.
Starting with me, Yoon Mir, Hwang Da-bin, Selina, Ji Tae-hoon, followed by Ban Hye-jin, Choi Seol, Leaf, and Ruid, all awakened people who have the potential to enter the final gate were individually edited and uploaded videos.
Subscribers who saw the video of Lucifer fighting in the Devil’s Castle went crazy.
The person who will enter the final gate is this, this one. They started arguing with each other.
So we decided to conduct live streaming for real-time voting.
With everyone watching, real-time live streaming took place, and as soon as it went live, a huge number of people flocked to Yoo Ah-ram’s channel.
[Lee Si-woo Fan Club Chairman]: Our Si-woo oppa to the final gate!
[Creating a Hero]: The seven people selected this time will be called the Seven New Heroes!
[Seonjalal]: You have to choose well. I know a bit about the selection, but let’s pick Lee Si-woo first and think about it first.
[Daesajyeol]: I wish all the members of the death squad were equally selected.
While reading the comments in the comment window, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram with an interesting expression.
It is decided here today.
The seven people who will enter the final gate.
-Okay, then let me introduce you one by one. First, first place in subscriber voting, Lee Si-woo of ‘I Can Use Other People’s Talents’!
[Comment window]
-Wow
-Lee Si-woo! Lee Si-woo!
-Siu oppa!!
-You’re handsome!!
After hearing Yoo Ah-ram’s words and looking at the comment window, I looked embarrassed.
“What is that.”
“Kkkkk, I can use other people’s talents. what?”
While listening to my friends teasing me, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram.
Yoo Ah-ram then began introducing Yoon Mir, Hwang Da-bin, and Selina one by one.
-Okay, now we’ve finished introducing the beastman tribe’s representative, Ruid. Then, everyone, please choose the seven people who will enter the final gate! Oh, and there was some talk about whether the candidate who received the most votes could take the other six candidates, but we’ll talk about that again after the candidate with the most votes is chosen! Then I will show you the list of candidates.
1. Lee Si-woo
2. Yunmir
3. Dabin Hwang
4. Selina
5. Yoo Ah-ram
6. Ji Tae-hoon
7. Jeong Joo-won
8. Ban Hye-jin
9. Choi Seol
10. Kang Ha-rin
11. Tae Ji-hyuk
12. Minji Choi
13. Leaf
14. Ruid
A list of 14 candidates in total appeared on the screen.
-Please handpick the candidates who will challenge the final gate!
I also quietly laid down ground rice. Even if a candidate I didn’t like was selected, I could choose the candidate who received the most votes.
As I watched the vote count go up, I started thinking about who I should take to the final gate.
Mir Yun came next to me.
“I know you will be the one with the most votes anyway. As long as Choi Kang, the representative of the Seven Heroes, is losing his mind, there will be no one who can object to what you say. Lee Si-woo, who do you plan on taking to the final gate?”
This is my first time seeing Yunmir talk so much.
“I haven’t decided yet.”
While saying that, I asked Mir Yun.
“Why do you want to enter the final gate?”
I think people are mistaken, but entering the final gate does not make you a hero.
Rather, the seven awakened people who will enter the final gate are the ones who must fight for their lives against the demon god.
Anyone with common sense would not want to enter such a place.
Since you are a human being, your life is the most important.
“Demon God, because I want to end Azathoth with my own hands.”
Of course, most of the people gathered here were outside the scope of common sense.
“We have to close the final gate so we can live in peace again, right?”
“I want to protect everyone if I can.”
I spoke to Hwang Da-bin and Ji Tae-hoon while watching the number of votes gradually increasing.
“What do other kids think?”
“Of course, it’s the same.”
I smiled at Jeong Joo-won’s words.
No matter what the outcome is, I will work with these guys to defeat Azathoth, the Demon God.

“Hmm.”
“Are you awake?”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a white ceiling and six comrades surrounding me.
“This place… … ”
“It’s the nurse’s office. “The treatment has been completed, so we did not move him to a separate hospital.”
Yoo Da-hee’s words reminded Choi Kang of the situation right before he fainted.
The sword was clearly driven into Lucifer’s heart.
I defeated him and got the key… … .
“What about the key?”
“Do you look for your keys as soon as you wake up?”
“Lee Si-woo took it.”
Following Claire’s sarcasm, Choi Kang’s expression hardened at Kang Moo-sung’s answer.
“what? Why… … .”
“Strongest. “You almost died.”
Choi Kang, who flinched at Yoo Da-hee’s words, began to check his physical condition.
Then, Choi Kang remembered that his heart had been shocked and began to observe the heart.
‘This… … .’
The heart was surrounded by an energy of a type I had never seen before.
A dull energy was stitching his heart back together, as if healing a broken heart.
“Lee Si-woo used the reward he received from defeating Lucifer on you.”
“compensation?”
“Lucifer’s talent was reflection. “For stabbing Lucifer’s heart, you stabbed your own heart.”
If your heart has been stabbed, you cannot survive.
So, what Yoo Da-hee was saying was that right before Choi Kang went to the underworld, Lee Si-woo saved himself with an item he received as a reward.
“… … why?”
“I don’t know. “Ask yourself that.”
“Where is Lee Si-woo?”
At those words, Ga-on Yoon picked up his smartphone and showed Yoo Ah-ram’s broadcast being broadcast in real time.
“We are now selecting seven people to enter the final gate.”
“… … “You left it alone?”
Choi Kang looked at his comrades with an incomprehensible expression.
“Strongest. Come to your senses now. “Our time is over.”
“Those children will lead the next era. Assuming we can defeat the demon god Azathoth.”
“Give up. “When you lost to Lucifer, you lost to his disciple.”
Choi Kang clenched his fists as the heroes spoke to him one by one.
“What is the voting status?”
“Overwhelming vote difference. Of course Lee Si-woo is the person with the most votes.”
“What about the other seven?”
“The votes are being cast, but public opinion is forming in the direction that the person with the most votes will choose the other six.”
“Probably Lee Si-woo will pick six people to take to the final gate.”
“Who will be chosen?” … .”
Choi Kang looked surprised when he saw Choi Seol included in the list of candidates.
Ban Yi-su, seeing that expression, opened his mouth.
“To be honest, knowing how strong the Demon God is, I don’t want my daughter to enter the final gate. This is probably the same for Gangganom as well. What do you think? Strongest?”
The list of candidates included quite a few of their children.
Yoon Mir, son of Yoon Ga-on.
Ban Isu’s daughter, Ban Hyejin.
Kang Moo-seong’s daughter, Kang Ha-rin.
Choi Kang’s daughter, Choi Seol.
It didn’t matter to Yoon Ga-on because he knew that he wanted his son to enter the final gate and perform well anyway, but this was not the case for Ban I-su and Kang Moo-seong.
I know because I fought against the demon Azathoth.
If you enter the final gate, you might die.
Therefore, Ban Yi-su and Kang Moo-seong hoped that their daughters would not be selected as one of the seven people who enter the final gate.
“I am… … .”
The moment when Choi Kang is about to express his opinion about Choi Seol.
Yoo Ah-ram shouted from inside the smartphone.
-Okay, let’s finish the real-time voting! The seven awakened people who will enter the final gate are… … . It will be revealed in 60 seconds!
Pot!
With Yoo Ah-ram shouting, advertisements began appearing on smartphones.
“advertisement… … .”
“You’re giving birth.”
“Well, I guess I couldn’t miss an opportunity like this.”
“I don’t know who will take that kid, but he’s amazing.”
The Seven Heroes watched the advertisements playing on their smartphones and wondered who the seven people who would enter the final gate would be.
