Part 2 Episode 18
Saint Yoshikawa Tsurara.
Demon Sword Shinji Nakata.
They are the national power of Japan and are also related to Taehyeon.
‘Suddenly…’
[This is an order from the president of the association.]
“…?”
Ko Tae-wook sighed at Tae-hyun’s puzzled reaction.
[The last technique you used. The president of the association saw it as being at the level of national power.]
He must be referring to the predation used by the doppelganger.
[He said that if it goes on a rampage again, there is no hope even if there are one or two more S-class players.]
‘No, not really…’
Taehyun has no intention of giving up his body to the doppelganger anymore, and the doppelganger will never do that again. You cannot do anything unreasonable.
However, this has already been decided by the association.
Taehyun had no choice.
“So… you contacted the two national power companies for me? “It must not have been easy to convince you.”
Even though New Korea and Japan are allies, they are clearly competitors.
Perhaps in a wartime situation, there is no way they would want a national powerhouse to be created in the new Korea.
‘Instead of breaking the seal, they will try to kill him.’
If it were the saint in Taehyeon’s memories, it would be entirely possible.
So, if two national forces had been dispatched to help the party, even for other reasons, New Korea would have provided something equivalent.
[When I look at you sometimes, you seem to be a bit snobbish for someone your age.]
Go Tae-wook clicked his tongue slightly.
The more I learn, the more difficult it is to say that I am a 19-year-old.
‘Where on earth did this guy come from?’
In order to discover talent, we dug up the personal information of numerous students.
‘It was a futile effort.’
That thought occurred to me, but it wasn’t important right now.
[There is nothing to worry about about the association. How could I have survived without that level of resourcefulness?]
Ko Tae-wook grinned.
Although he has not completely eliminated his suspicions about Taehyeon, he has decided to cover up the little things for the greater good.
[Called player Kwak Si-yang. He will be a new member of the party. Oh, you know Magicians, right?]
Go Tae-wook asked belatedly, thinking that although it was obvious, it might not be natural.
This is because the awakened person in front of me sometimes doesn’t even know basic information.
Each time, Taehyun complained that it was a symptom of memory loss after awakening.
“Of course I know.”
Kwak Si-yang, the guild leader of Magicians.
‘It’s been a while since I saw you.’
The corners of my mouth turn up at the unexpectedly intertwined relationships.
“How many people are in the party?”
[I was already planning to explain. There are four players and one porter.]
“It’s simple, isn’t it?”
[There are four S-rank players. There is no need to waste a long time on the second floor. The porter will be given an infinite backpack, so food and supplies will not be a problem.]
“But if there are four players…”
[Taehyun Kim. You are the porter.]
“…”
[Aren’t you now a B-class awakened person? It’s not enough to be a porter for S-ranks.]
Contrary to what he said, he seemed to be teasing.
It seemed like he thought of it as punishment for Taehyun’s reckless behavior up until now.
There are two national power levels in other countries.
There are two heads of large guilds in their country.
In the meantime, I could clearly see the thought of going through some trouble.
Contrary to Go Tae-wook’s thoughts.
‘It’s not a bad combination.’
Taehyun was more satisfied with the association’s more progressive attitude than expected.
The association hopes that its seal can be lifted safely.
I must have become even more excited after seeing the possibility of becoming a national power leader.’
In addition, the saint possesses the S-rank skill ‘ultra-fast regeneration’.
Even if it were to go berserk, the plan was to suppress it using the demon sword and then heal it with the saint’s skills.
‘The awakened people must have made an oath as well.’
From Taehyun’s perspective, all he has to do is hide his identity, quietly act as a porter, and climb the tower.
‘It’s such a sweet reward for doing the work of a porter.’
“All right. “We will do our best to live up to the association’s efforts.”
[That’s a happy answer.]
Finally, Go Tae-wook’s answer.
Churrrrrr-.
Crash. Crash.
The chains that were binding Taehyun’s body were lifted one by one.

Taehyun turned his wrist and checked his body condition.
[Treatment is over. I’ll send someone so you can wait.]
“Of course.”
The place we were immediately directed to was the association president’s office.
Ji Jin-hee, with a somewhat tired face, personally poured the tea.
“You look tired. Are you okay?”
“haha. “I guess your rampage was harder than I thought.”
Regardless of treatment, physical strength does not return as expected.
Ji Jin-hee said with a friendly smile.
“Did you hear anything from Director Go?”
“yes. I heard that the party is being reorganized to include a saint and a ghost sword. Are you saying I will follow you as a porter and check the condition of the seal?”
“okay. The plan is to join guild leader Kwon Kang-hyeok on the 3rd floor. “What do you think?”
After joining Kwon Kang-hyuk on the 3rd floor, we break through to the 4th floor with the current number of people.
“That’s an excellent idea.”
“Hoo. In what way?”
Ji Jin-hee’s eyes lit up.
This is because he also knows that Taehyun has insight beyond his age.
Expand your knowledge by having informal conversations with young talent.
It was one of Ji Jin-hee’s long-time hobbies.
“The United States and China are currently confronting each other inside and outside the tower?”
“Everyone knows this.”
“The shrimp that are not caught up in the whale fight are left with soybeans.”
“New Korea is a shrimp?”
“Currently, every country except the United States and China is in the grip of shrimp. Well, I guess you could say that Shinhankuk is the smallest shrimp among them all.”
“….”
He has no hesitation in using explicit expressions in front of the president of the association.
‘After all, it’s a thing.’
Ji Jin-hee had to suppress the shaking of her body from the rising excitement.
“America is connected to empire. “I heard that China is connected to Wulin.”
Taehyun took a day off to check once again the current state of the world.
“I see. This is why the power gap between countries began to widen rapidly. “That is why we are putting effort into Taehyun’s complete awakening.”
The day Ji Jin-hee’s seal on Tae-hyeon’s skill is completely lifted and an S-class license is issued.
The intention was to declare to the world that the new Korea had become a country with a national power level.
‘Taehyun. You are a treasure of the new Korea.’
Just thinking about it makes my heart pound.
It’s time for Ji Jin-hee to envision a rosy future.
“Soon, the national power system will collapse.”
“….”
This is when Ji Jin-hee is unable to react to the unexpected words.
“We should not cling to old titles such as national power level.”
“…!!”
“New Korea comes before anyone else.”
He paid no heed to Ji Jin-hee’s embarrassed expression.
Taehyun lifted his index finger and pointed at the ceiling.
“We must climb to the top of this tower.”
* * *
“You are the rookie in question.”
“Nice to meet you, Guild Leader Kwak Si-yang.”
Taehyun politely held the hand of the man who held out to him and greeted him.
Kwak Si-yang had just joined the association after receiving a call from Ji Jin-hee.
“I can’t believe you were the cause of that commotion. “I just regret not being able to see it with my own eyes.”
It was referring to Taehyun’s reckless driving.
A quest called ‘Pandora’s Key’ occurred to all the awakened people who were in the tower that day.
The content, grade, and reward are unknown, but it is a quest issued directly by the ‘Tower Manager’.
At that moment, Ji Jin-hee told me that the cause of the quest was related to Tae-hyeon.
He is the head of the largest wizard guild in the country.
The reason I took time out of my busy schedule to join this party was largely because I wanted to observe Taehyun Kim up close.
“I know the general story. “Please take care of me until I get to the 4th floor.”
“Please take care of me.”
Taehyun bowed his head again.
Ji Jin-hee. Go Tae-wook. Yoo Ah-young. Kwak Si-yang.
I have already formed relationships with about half of the people who can be said to be Taehyun’s people.
‘It might be worth a try.’
While Kwak Si-yang and Yoo Ah-young were infusing magic into the warp magic circle, Ji Jin-hee approached.
“Taehyun. “Take this.”
What Ji Jin-hee gave her were cross-shaped earrings and a pendant.
The protection of the magic tool saint.
‘I thought it was broken. Was the president of the association holding it?’
When I put on the earrings and pendant, the magic stone on one side of my chest responded sharply.
“I put my magical energy into it. “I will protect you once.”
“thank you.”
“I hope you come back safely.”
Wow.
Ji Jin-hee’s two hands grabbed Tae-hyeon’s arms.
It’s like watching a grandfather seeing off his grandchildren leaving for a distant place.
“You won’t be disappointed.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
After a while.
When I activated Kwak Si-yang’s magic circle, I arrived in front of the gate leading to the second floor.
“egg plant.”
Taehyun climbed to the second floor of the tower with two colleagues.
* * *
A wasteland spread out under a red sky.
Air filled with magical power.
The second floor was no different from the entrance to the Abyss, as Taehyun thought.
and.
“You came sooner than I thought.”
A man and a woman walked out from the side of the gate.
It was a saint and a ghost sword.
“Huh~ That’s the Magician’s guild leader, Kwak Si-yang. “It’s an honor to be with you.”
The saintess made a nasal noise and showed her respect to Kwak Si-yang.
The ghost sword simply nodded its head bluntly.
“It’s a shame that the national power leader says that.”
Kwak Si-yang waved his hand and said hello.
“Shall we get moving first?”
The four players and one porter walked slowly.
The place they were heading to was a labyrinth that could be reached by walking for about 10 hours from the gate.
B-grade labyrinth Harun.
This is because if you pass through there, you can quickly reach the gate to the 3rd floor.
The ghost said nothing, and the conversation was led by Seongnyeo, Yoo Ah-young, and Kwak Si-yang.
“Suddenly a large-scale quest. “I heard that even tower managers sometimes do ridiculous things?”
The saint mentioned a large-scale quest that came to mind not long ago.
“Did you gain anything from Nightwalker?”
“There isn’t much information yet.”
“Hmm~ The man who is the manager of the tower. We didn’t even know we were going through this much trouble. “If I meet you, I want to kill you.”
“….”
“….”
The fact that the saintess seemed to have the temperament of a psychopath at first glance was an added bonus.
‘Guild leader Yoo Ah-young is putting up with a lot.’
I know that her temperament is no less than that of a saint.
Taehyun could only suppress his laughter.
at that time.
“But this porter is very young?”
The saintess showed interest in Taehyeon, who was walking a little away.
“He is my exclusive porter. “It’s a kid named Kim Tae-hyun.”
“….”
Kwak Si-yang was taken aback by Yoo Ah-young’s confident lie.
The saint did not miss that strange expression.
“The porter is so… “It looks okay.”
The saint’s eyes scanned Taehyeon’s body.
“Oh my, doesn’t Ms. Tsurara have a ghost sword?”
Yoo Ah-young said while blocking Taehyun’s path.
Claiming ownership with your body.
“As you can see, our ghost sword is the quiet type.”
The saintess and Taehyeon’s eyes met.
‘I feel anxious.’
When Taehyun was thinking like that.
“How about we make a bet?”
The saint touched her chin and opened her mouth.
“…?”
“bet…?”
The two guild leaders expressing doubt tilted their heads.
“Okay, I’d like to make a bet with that porter’s one-day pass.”
Grinning.
The saint smiled and said to Taehyeon.
