Chapter 132
“So you don’t have to pass the fifth test page?”
“yes.”
“Then shouldn’t I have said that you will be able to know when you become a 5th Circle Master, rather than saying that you will be able to know when you become a 5th Circle Master?”
In the past, Mimir said that everything I was curious about could be resolved if I became a ‘5th Circle Master’.
I believed that word, but I didn’t have to become a 5th circle master.
I feel cheated by something.
“I didn’t really lie. My restrictions are lifted after the heir passes the fifth test page. and… … .”
Mimir narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
“It is true that there are no restrictions for the vassal waiting on the page of the fifth test. It will be a bit difficult to hear about the things the Heir is curious about.”
“why?”
“His personality is a bit picky. Even if I ask, they will surely say, ‘Don’t order me.’ Like, ‘Only the Master can ask me for something.’ I’ll just say that.”
“aha.”
He seemed to have a rough idea of what kind of vassal he was waiting for on the fifth test page.
“Are you a loyal and proud knight type?”
“It is a little different. It feels like that. He’s not a bad person, but he’s annoying in many ways.”
Mimir pursed his lips with a sullen expression.
Mimir doesn’t seem to like the vassal either.
“Anyway, I’m the tired type. You will know the details when you experience it yourself.”
Mimir shuddered as if he didn’t want to say more.
It’s clear that the two of them are not on good terms.
“okay. Then we should enter the pages of the fifth test as soon as possible.”
The condition to enter the page of the fifth test is ‘succeed in the chanting safely.’
Now that you’ve succeeded in the chant of death and permafrost, you should be able to activate the magic circle heading to the page of the fifth test.
“Ah, not now, but go when you have some free time. The page of the fifth test cannot come out when you want to come out once you enter it.”
“Oh yeah?”
I didn’t expect that.
“About how many hours should I spare?”
“hmm. at least 10 hours? It’s good to hold on to it for about 15 hours.”
“Then you can’t go in now.”
The current time is 1:00 AM.
Since I have to head to the stadium at 7:00 tomorrow, I have 6 hours left.
Time is short.
“The last game tomorrow, you said you’d play first because you’re the first starter, right?”
“uh.”
The long-awaited final game of the Olympiad, and the preliminaries of the Open Raid, are determined by the ranking of each team.
Korea, the first place, is in Group 1, the United States, which is second, is in Group 2, and the United Kingdom, which is third, is in Group 3.
In this way, they will be placed in order, and they will be divided into 8 groups of 64 teams.
The preliminaries will be held throughout the day, and the matches will of course start with Group 1.
In other words, our Korea is the first match.
“Then, I can go right after the preliminaries.”
“huh. I was thinking of doing that anyway.”
If you return right after the first game, you have about 16 hours to spare before the finals start the next day.
This is a good time to enter the pages of the fifth test.
* * *
the next morning.
We arrived at the stadium at 8:20.
There are approximately 30 minutes left until the start of the preliminary round.
A time when everyone should be stiff with tension.
There was no sign of tension in the Korean team’s waiting room.
“Haaam.”
“senior. Here, you stretched your head.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Some are yawning, some are chatting, some are playing pranks.
It’s like people going out to drink rather than play.
“Everyone is off guard.”
If I were to say that the only person who maintains the level of tension, would it be senior Kang Shin-woo?
Senior Kang Shin-woo was frowning as if he didn’t like the calm and weak appearance of his current teammates.
“Iknow, right. I’m a bit distracted today.”
Of course, that is understandable.
Currently, Korea’s military power is overwhelming.
There will be no sense of crisis at all.
Even more so, today’s preliminaries.
Since we weren’t dealing with the US or the UK, it was natural for us to relax.
‘But I think this is a bit too loose. A mistake could come out of this.’
It’s not good to be too tense, but it’s also not good to be too relaxed.
The probability of something happening in today’s preliminaries is small, but if this atmosphere continues, there may be problems in the finals tomorrow.
It is good to cut this atmosphere in advance and go.

“senior. May I ask you a favor?”
“okay. Leave it to me.”
Senior Kang Shin-woo, who was making an expression of dissatisfaction with the world next to him, took a step forward with an expression that he needed to say something kindly.
―Players from the teams in group 1 of the preliminary round, please return to the stadium 10 minutes later.
At that moment, a game alarm broadcast was heard over the speaker.
“… … .”
At the same time, Kang Shin-woo’s footsteps stopped.
By the way, it’s not like I’m focusing on broadcasting or anything.
I knew for a long time that I had to go to the stadium in 10 minutes.
It’s not something to focus on now.
“Looks like everyone was relaxing.”
“… … It seems so.”
The reason Shinwoo sunbaenim stopped walking was because the atmosphere of the team members changed completely at the same time as the broadcast.
As if it was loose, it became a sharp expression and attitude.
Moderate, not excessive tension.
Still, the grim eyes.
It was the perfect battle posture.
“Whoa. We only have two games left.”
Senior Hee-yoon, who was giggling with Sun-chan, approached us with a serious expression.
“Today and tomorrow. Let’s burn everything.”
Senior Jinseok followed him.
He clatters his hands and smiles broadly.
“older brother. It seems that the energy left over from playing in the labyrinth exploration… … Aww!”
“What did you say? junior.”
Senior Ma Jin-seok put a headlock on Sun-chan who was giggling and gave him strength.
“older brother! sorry! I won’t fuss! Aww!”
“huh? Is it because I was excluded from the labyrinth exploration selection and took a good rest? I can’t hear well. what?”
The blood vessels protruding from the forearm seemed to show the power of the headlock.
“sick! It hurts!”
“okay? I’m pressing hard. Is it because I got a good rest thanks to my junior? Do you have any strength left?”
“Oops!”
It seemed that he was secretly holding in his heart the fact that Soon-chan participated in the labyrinth exploration match instead.
“stop. stupid What are you doing before the game starts?”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon stepped forward and separated the two.
“Sah, lived.”
Soonchan, freed from senior Ma Jinseok’s arms, sighed in relief as he pressed his temple.
“are you okay?”
“yes? yes.”
Soonchan replied with a subtle expression on his face.
“Ugh. that little bastard Are you going to want a child like this with just something like that? are you okay? Did it hurt a lot?”
“… … .”
Sun-chan’s expression darkened.
It was evident on his expression that he was thinking, ‘What is the most petty person to say?’
“Sunchan. Do you show emotion in your expression?”
Senior Hee-yoon put his arm around Soon-chan’s shoulder. He even rubs his back.
“Does your back tickle?”
“no!”
Sun-chan was frightened and shouted.
It looks like Hee-yoon sunbaenim’s hands are really spicy. Seeing Sunchan react so violently.
“I’m kidding. joke. boy. To overreact.”
Hee-yoon sunbaenim chuckled and rubbed Soon-chan’s hair.
It seemed like the two of them had gotten closer in the meantime.
No, did Hee-yoon open up to Sun-chan a little more?
“It’s time to leave soon.”
Adela came to us like that.
As usual, with a calm expression on his face, he calmly announced that the departure time was over.
At that moment, the atmosphere that had been slightly playful suddenly became heavy.
An expression as if all emotions were erased and he was only thinking about the upcoming game.
They were so close to perfection that I didn’t need to say anything more.
“let’s go.”
All I had to say was this.
“okay. Let’s go and take care of it.”
“Gazua.”
So we all left the waiting room and headed to the stadium.
In any case, there is no way we will lose in the preliminaries.
I was so sure.
* * *
―There was no change! The Korean team breaks through the preliminaries with overwhelming results! From zone 1 to zone 4. Completely monopolize all areas, and win first place with an overwhelming score!
As expected, the first match of the qualifiers ended with Korea’s overwhelming victory.
―The German strategy was revealed. The main strategy was to fully read the Korean team’s strategy and aim for second place.
-yes. It stood out that he did not lose his cow while coveting his belt.
The German team advanced to the finals together in Group 1.
I read that the Korean team was planning to attack all areas, and I thought the opposite and took second place by defeating small monsters.
You could call it a winning strategy.
―Oh, I’m really nervous. Last game tomorrow. Everything is decided by the finals.
-Yes. Will Korea be able to set a new record? I am also looking forward to it.
-oh. As I speak, the 2 qualifying rounds are about to begin.
―I need to introduce the players who will participate in the 2nd game!
The commentators naturally started explaining the two games.
Since it was a formal commentary, there was nothing to pay attention to.
“Tsk.”
Tkish clicked his tongue and turned off the TV.
The voices of the commentators and casters that had filled the room disappeared, leaving only silence in the room.
“God’s rate.”
Tkish’s eyes shone fiercely.
Just thinking about Shin Ha-yul makes me irritated.
‘A rat-like bastard.’
At first, he was simply an assassination target, but now he developed a personal grudge.
Shin Ha-yul fed Tkish with water three times.
Even if one of them was excluded because Leng Smith, who was managed by Tkish, failed, the remaining two were completely Tkish’s failures.
‘Shin Ji-han. He said he took some strength to keep him from getting suspicious, but… … .’
A failure is a failure no matter what.
There was a big stain on Tkish’s performance.
It was natural to hold grudges.
‘after. I want to kill the request right now, but… … .’
That’s not going to happen.
It goes against Tkish’s policy to ignore a request once accepted and act as one pleases.
The removal of Shin Ha-yul must be done under a thorough request.
‘I want to kill you.’
However, the runaway of emotions was more intense than expected. I try to calm my mind, but I can’t.
‘Calm down. Whoa. calm down.’
T’Kish let out a deep breath, hot with anger.
‘In the first place, the current servant Yul is not something that can be removed even if one tries to get rid of it.’
It is a problem even if he moves to remove Shin Ha-yul regardless of Shin Ji-han’s safety.
Shin Ha-yul is currently receiving the attention of the world.
As such, there is always an enormous escort manpower waiting around. There is no way to break through that level of escort and remove Shin Ha-yul.
At least, it is impossible for Tkish alone.
‘I don’t know if additional manpower is mobilized, but it’s hard to ask for additional support unless it’s a request.’
Therefore, even if Tkish moved personally now, it would be impossible to remove the vassal.
T’kish let out another deep breath.
It was a cold breath that was much more stable than before.
After sorting out the situation, my head has cooled to some extent.
‘And now, the first step is to remove The Fist from the transfer ceremony that will take place in three days.’
Lastly, he brushed off all his anger by recalling his mission beyond personal feelings.
Tkish, who returned with his usual expressionless and cold expression, calmly took out his phone.
‘… … by the way.’
There is just one thing that takes.
‘Shin Ji-han. Why didn’t I hear from him after that?’
After The Feast failed to assassinate Shin Ha-yul. I was expecting Shin Ji-han’s stormy contact, but for some reason, there hasn’t been even a single contact so far.
As if he had no intention of contacting the Black Mage Tower any more, he completely cut off contact.
‘I don’t think he intends to move directly.’
Tkish opened his eyes sharply.
It is a bit difficult for Shin Ji-han to move directly.
Shin Ji-han is a being who will become a great force in ruling Korea in the future.
It would be an indescribable loss to the Black Mage Tower for such an existence to be eliminated now.
‘I don’t think he’s that stupid, but… … .’
As the current situation is, it is not strange to act hastily.
He’s annoying, but as a VVIP customer, I can’t just let him die.
Tkish clicked his tongue and called somewhere.
[Code name: Hermes]
The call was connected before it rang less than twice.
“Hermes. Please provide the latest information about the 41st VVIP customer.”
―I will send it as soon as I confirm it.
“okay. Please.”
That was it.
The phone call ends with that.
As if there was no need for further conversation, the two hung up the phone at the same time.
Since this is the conversation with the executive officer, Hermes, further conversation is unnecessary.
[Code name: Hermes]
The text came right away.
Indeed, it was the speed worthy of Hermes, the best informant in the Black Mage Tower.
All kinds of information about Shin Ji-han was written in the text.
Most of them were familiar.
However, the last question was enough to make Tkish frown.
[The 41st VVIP customer, Shin Ji-han. Current location Incheon International Airport.]
[Destination confirmed to be American.]
“… … Are you coming to America?”
Shin Ji-han is trying to go to the United States where Shin Ha-yul is.
Tkish’s eyebrows furrowed at Shin Ji-han’s obvious actions.
