“Could you please give me a Breeze Imperial Academy faculty/staff ID or employee pass?”
“yes.”
The girl frowned as she looked at Kale, who was smiling brightly.
“Phew.”
She sighed and continued speaking calmly.
“Now, strangers are setting up camp on the first floor, looking for you. And they are persistently asking the people in our store about your whereabouts.”
Kale smiled kindly.
“Thank you for hiding my information.”
The girl who let out a groan almost let out a sigh.
-Hey kid-
‘!’
He is the lord.
The one who exists above all beings living in the 6 evils.
My only master.
-Help me.
The sixth evil tells me to help the wanderer from the seventh evil.
‘I heard that the boss of the 7 evils is currently missing, and the next boss will appear soon.’
It was said that before the next boss officially ascended to the throne, a sly teddy bear was acting as boss.
So, the Seven Evils were on edge, speculating that a fight for power would soon break out.
‘But what are the Seven Evils up to?’
For the 6th evil, the girl who had been searching for information here outside the area became more and more confused by the unpredictable behavior of the 7th evil.
-Stay by my side-
But once the lord’s order was given, there was a limit to what she could do.
“I’ll find a way to infiltrate the Imperial Academy.”
“thank you.”
This time, Kale smiled kindly.
Breeze Imperial Academy.
Bishop Serissa, the sun god, was scheduled to give a lecture in one of the annex buildings there tomorrow.
Kale planned to sneak in there and approach Serissa to shake her hand when the lecture was over.
Because it was his quest.
[Shake hands with the Chaos Believer (Serisa)!]
“I’ll come back again this evening.”
The girl left Kale’s room after saying those words.
Kale looked away from the closed door and opened the guest room window.
“Just shake hands-.”
The Breeze Imperial Academy was visible in the distance.
“I’m curious about the Academy!”
Meow meow!
Meow meow!
The average 10-year-old didn’t hide his interest.
And after a while, the girl returned to Kale faster than expected.
“…What is this?”
Kale looked in disbelief at what lay before him.
“This is our best.”
The girl was confident.
“Why? I think it would suit you.”
Kale reached out.
“School uniform… … .”
“Yes. It’s a school uniform.”
The Imperial Academy uniform was in his hands.
“Isn’t the Imperial Academy open until you’re 18?”
The girl answered Cale’s question calmly.
“that’s right.”
And then he added, as if to ask what the problem was.
“He may look a little old for an 18-year-old, but he’s still handsome, right?”
“!”
“It’s okay if you’re handsome.”
“!”
“It’s not like I’m going to be staying at the academy for a few days. I just need to listen to a few lectures, right?”
“… Right?”
“Then it would be better to pretend to be a student rather than a faculty member. And the access control for faculty members is tighter. It would be easier to move around as a student.”
“… … .”
“Then, cheer up.”
The girl left the room, leaving Kale behind without saying a word.
“ah.”
She stopped as she reached for the doorknob and added to Kale.
“The limit for school uniforms is two sets. And the student ID card. We haven’t reached the academy yet. This is the limit.”
In fact, it was the best she could do for Kale, who was not even an ally but just a strange guest.

“Well then, I hope your wish comes true.”
Click.
After the girl left, Kale, who was left in the room, picked up two school uniforms.
“Humans, the clothes are too big for us to wear!”
“That’s right! It’s a shame! Isn’t that the same for you, sister?”
“It’s an academy, we just have to enroll. There’s no need to feel sorry.”
“Human, we will still turn transparent and go together!”
Kale, who had been listening to Raon, On, and Hong’s conversation, opened the guest room window.
And then he looked outside and said.
“Come in.”
Choi Han, who was on the roof, jumped into the window.
“What’s the matter, Kale?”
Choi Han hesitated.
“… … .”
Because Kale was staring at Choi Han without saying anything.
“hmm.”
Then he nodded and handed me a school uniform.
“Particle. You too.”
“?”
A question mark appeared on Choi Han’s face, but Kale asked seriously.
“And tomorrow, stay right next to me. Don’t open your mouth.”
Kale, who ignored Choi Han, who was standing blankly, holding his school uniform in his hand, asked Raon.
“Please dye my hair a little.”
“What color do you want it in?”
“Red.”
“oh.”
Choi Han turned red-haired.

Transparent Co., Ltd.
A transcendent corporation that has a major impact beyond Rowan and across the globe.
There, senior researcher Kim Se-hyeon couldn’t hold back the words that were about to burst out.
“f*ck!”
The game operations staff member next to him sighed.
“It’s out of our hands now.”
“… I’m screwed.”
“older brother!”
The employee was so surprised that he called Kim Se-hyeon as usual without realizing it.
But Kim Se-hyeon paid no attention to the employee’s call and vented his anger.
“Hey. You feel it too, right?”
“… … .”
“The Han family is currently messing up the game. Did our researchers or management participate in this update? It’s all the work of those related to the Han family!”
“… … .”
“And what did you just say?”
The employee sighed and said.
“… You said that there are a lot of quests that you can’t figure out.”
“Yeah. What does that mean?”
After work, Kim Se-Hyeon, who had been staying in the lab and continuing his research on the virtual reality system, continued speaking with a voice filled with suppressed anger.
“You, who work on the quest side, are quests that you, the operator, are unaware of. And the system only recognizes quests after they’re created. New World is heading in a direction that’s becoming increasingly unmanageable.”
“Isn’t that what we wanted?”
Kim Se-Hyeon laughed at his junior’s words.
His gaze originally took in the interior of the laboratory, which had originally housed dozens of people.
Now, the lab only has five people.
“The direction we wanted? If that’s how users enjoy the game in various ways, and as a result, various variables and flows emerge. It’s not bad for the system to not intervene in advance, but to recognize it later.”
Kim Se-hyun admitted it.
“Yes. That is the new world we wanted.”
But then he refuted it.
“But you know that’s not the case now, right?”
“… … .”
“The Han family. They are currently treating the system as a mere tool, and are doing all sorts of things without considering the system.”
“hmm.”
“Because of that, New World is now turning into a world we don’t know about. Does that make sense?”
The junior opened his mouth weakly.
“… It’s just a guess. What did the Han family do?”
“There is only suspicion, but no evidence. Didn’t you come to me because you felt suffocated when you saw that?”
“It’s hard to deny.”
The junior smiled weakly.
Currently, Transparent Co., Ltd. has a minority group that is neutral, opposed to the Han family’s direction, and a minority group that is against the Han family’s direction.
In fact, the minority was too shabby to even be called a single force.
Rather, it was a term used to refer to people who might be cut off at any time due to neglect or who might quit on their own.
“New World is a place where a new world can truly be. I can’t stand it being messed up by someone else’s intervention.”
Kim Se-hyun’s face looked like it was about to cry.
“They-, they wouldn’t want that outcome either.”
Two people who implemented virtual reality, like the beginning of Nasojeol.
Kim Se-hyun furrowed his brow as he thought of them.
“… They really wanted a new world. A dream world that exists on its own and develops on its own. A world that is not influenced by anyone’s intervention or vested interests.”
“older brother-“
The junior who knew why Kim Se-hyeon came to Transparent Co. as a senior researcher and why he had held on until now could not bring himself to say anything.
Knock knock.
At that time, after work, there were not many people left in the research lab.
Among them, someone knocked on the door of the neglected laboratory.
“!”
Kim Se-Hyeon paused and looked at the lab door.
Squeak.
The lab door opened, and Kim Se-Hyeon’s eyes widened.
“hello.”
A completely unexpected person entered the lab with a smile on his face.
“…Vice President?”
Vice President Yim Jeong.
She, whose aptitude for rising from the lowest level to the position of vice president is acknowledged by everyone, came to see Kim Se-hyun.
‘why?’
Kim Se-hyun was nervous.
Already Jeong.
Because she was no different from the Han family.
Otherwise, she would not have risen to vice president.
“How have you been, our senior researcher?”
Im Ji-jeong was not close enough with Kim Se-hyeon to greet him so intimately.
It would make sense if it were rather hostile.
“…What’s going on?”
When Kim Se-Hyeon opened his mouth with a stern face.
Im Ji-jeong looked at him and his junior next to him and opened her mouth.
“I came here after hearing that you two were here.”
“yes?”
Kim Se-hyeon and his junior Park Jeong-gyu were taken aback by the news that they had come specifically to see the two people.
At that time, Im Ji-jeong asked Kim Se-hyeon, who only knew about the research in front of her and was therefore able to detect the system’s blind spots and loopholes, and Park Jeong-gyu, a loner in the operations team.
“Would you like to work on a secret project with me?”
Vice President Yim Jeong recalled one of the suggestions Rosalind had made.
‘Make a team of people with the abilities you want. Make allies.’
‘And with that ally, let’s do something fun.’
‘A portal that goes beyond dimensions and enters the game. That’s what I’m thinking of making.’
She spoke to the two employees.
“It’s about making New World a bigger world beyond the fence of Transparent Co., Ltd.”
For a moment, something strange flashed in Kim Se-hyeon’s eyes.
Im Ji-jeong, Kim Se-hyeon, and Park Jeong-gyu.
The three people held hands for the first time that day.
And Yim Jeong contacted Rosalind.
<The Black Castle you mentioned. I picked a group to go there.>
The next day, Kim Se-hyeon submitted his resignation.
In addition, Park Jeong-gyu stubbornly remained in the operations team.

“Mr. Chairman.”
“What is the chairman? I have now stepped down from that position.”
Han Taek-soo, the honorary chairman of Transparent Co., Ltd., waved his hand at the executive director’s words.
“Okay. What brings you here today?”
“An Roman became the crown prince of the Eastern Empire.”
“I know.”
Han Taek-soo nodded leisurely. He asked Managing Director Jang.
“You didn’t come here to report what I already know, did you?”
But An Roman seemed to be trying to hide his identity.
Han Taek-soo already knew that An Ro-man was ranked number one in the Nasojeol and whose son he was.
“… It seems like there is an AI in the Eastern Empire.”
I was also vaguely aware of the existence of AI that assisted Anroman.
Beyond Anroman’s expectations, Transparent Co., Ltd. was thorough.
“Of course. Investigate the NPCs on the Eastern Empire side. Who is behind Anroman? We need to deal with that hidden rat.”
“yes.”
Despite the presence of the chairman, Han Taek-soo gave orders without hesitation.
As Managing Director Jang left the study, Han Taek-soo, left alone, opened his mouth.
“There are people related to chaos in the Western Empire?”
“Yes, my lord.”
A being emerged from the darkness.
He was a transparent skin hunter.
“What has the God of Chaos done?”
“We are figuring it out.”
“Didn’t they say that a believer of the God of Chaos appeared in the Demon World?”
“you’re right.”
“…Don’t lose interest in the chaos side and the demon side.”
“all right.”
“And the hunter who hunts the hunters, that guy named Kale Henitus? What about the investigation into him?”
“We have sent a few hunters to Apitoyu. We will be able to locate them soon.”
“Make sure to keep your company secure, in case he shows up on Earth 3.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Han Taek-soo got up from his seat.
He walked to the window and looked out.
The appearance of the Third Earth came into view.
“Soon.”
He hummed softly.
“Soon, a new world will unfold. The day when the Absolute God will be born is just around the corner.”
“… … .”
“There must be no flaws in the preparations for the birth of the Absolute God. Do you understand?”
“yes.”
Han Taek-soo thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Tell that to the five-colored bastards.”
The god of chaos, the demon world. They are the ones who are bound to get in the way.
Ohsaekpi, they are annoyingly arrogant guys.
There are few as strong as those wandering guys.
“Please give your all to New World.”
“Yes. I already figured out that most of the Five-Colored Pears are in New World.”
“okay.”
Han Taek-soo sighed.
“… The high ground isn’t far away.”
This has been going on for thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Now it must end.

As an empire of culture and art, the Breeze Imperial Academy was renowned throughout the continent for its arts, politics, and academics.
Perhaps because of that, the school uniforms were truly dazzling.
The gold patterns embroidered on the white jacket were each stitched to a level of art.
“Who is it?”
“…There were kids like that?”
“I don’t know. Hey, but he’s really handsome!”
“I’m on the left!”
Ahem.
The person on the left heard the whispering voice. Choi Han couldn’t hide his discomfort.
“Hey, you don’t know. The one on the right is real. But what grade are you in? I’m seeing you for the first time.”
“Did you say there was a transfer student?”
“I don’t know.”
The whispered conversation was, in fact, so small that only those with extremely developed physical abilities and excellent hearing could hear it.
Because I was giving a lecture right now.
“Divinity is a power that God has given us, but it is also a power that we can obtain by proving our faith ourselves.”
And the person on the right. Kale was leaning back in his chair, half-lying, listening intently to the speaker.
-Human, is that bishop a tax collector?
Kale nodded slightly at the words given by the transparent Raon and looked at the speaker on the stage, Bishop Serisa, and the believers of Chaos.
“With this, I will conclude today’s lecture.”
And when the lecture was over and the question time was over.
Kale stood up from his seat.
That wasn’t all.
The students rose from their seats in a rush, and Kale slowly moved forward from the back seat.
Serissa.
To shake hands with her as she is surrounded by several students and taking questions.
‘What will happen?’
The Saint of the Chaos God. What would happen if Kayle, who has his power, shook hands with Serisa, the God of Chaos?
Since the quest clearly stated that they had to shake hands, it seemed like something was bound to happen.
-Human, be ready to run away at any time.
Kale arrived in front of Serissa, fully prepared.
“Bishop.”
He called Serissa.
In Serisa’s eyes, there was the image of her blond, blue-eyed student, Kale, smiling gently.
