Chapter 116 – 116. Individual Qualification.

Jin Jin-na looked at Lee Do-joon and the golden sun and let out a sigh of hers. She thought the ‘Truth Search’ club wasn’t too bad, but she was mistaken for Jinrina. Now that I see it, the state of the members is a mess.

‘But what about helping?’

Lee Do-joon was at least better. Because it doesn’t look like he’s lost his mind. Compared to the golden sun, it was a sensitive level. After going to a motel in Busan, Taeyang Geum couldn’t function properly as a person.

“Are you okay?”

Jinlina shed the golden sun. Would she be able to participate in the club lockdown defense, she asked. She was anything but normal. It seems impossible for her to participate in the war.

“… There’s nothing you can do about it.”

But even this golden sun is better than none. The ‘Truth Search’ club was suffering from a manpower shortage as much as she did. To the point where even her own spirit needs the power of the golden sun, which she can’t handle properly…

Even Taeyang Geum has no intention of backing down. She hasn’t given up on being a hero, and will do everything in her power to get back on track. I don’t know if it’s possible, but anyway.

Lee Do-joon frowned. I could feel how great Johnson’s absence was. He tried to fill that vacancy and appeal her presence to Jinlina, but it seemed like it would be futile.

It’s bleak. Currently, the ‘Truth Quest’ club room is very depressing. She can’t change the mood.

Jinri I felt as if I had gone back to the early days of her club. If she went on like this, the club might really be closed. Her hands and feet trembled because of her anxiety.

Is Johnson all right? Was there no attachment to the ‘Truth Search’ club at all? In such a precarious situation, enough to help other clubs just because they contacted you first?

Jinlina shook her head. She managed to shake off her resentment of Johnson. Blaming Johnson here was too ugly for him to think. Johnson did nothing wrong.

‘I have to make the club affectionate…’

That’s obviously the manager’s job. It was the manager’s job to make the members take an interest in the ‘Truth Search’ club and feel a sense of belonging.

Looking at the current situation, Jin-ri I did not properly fulfill her role as her manager. I was sorry about that. It was contact and nabal, and those were just secondary excuses.

It was just that there was little motivation to keep the ‘Truth Search’ club. For the members, it doesn’t matter whether the club is closed or not. She has no reason to suffer in the ‘Truth Quest’ club team.

The Academy Festival is a festival where cadets are active. Everyone wants to reveal and unfold their power. It is to make a name for yourself while dominating the opponent in a strong team.

Do you work as a member of a drug team on such a day? It was like kicking an opportunity. If you think about it rationally, it would be impossible if the club itself did not have affection.

‘These two…’

Jin Jin-na looked at Lee Do-joon and Geum Tae-yang. The reason why the two will participate in the ‘Truth Search’ club team. Now I got a feel for it. Neither is interested in the club itself.

The two are interested in different things. Something more important than the existence of the ‘Truth Search’ club. Perhaps to buy one’s own favor.

Truthfully I frowned at her. There was no one other than himself who was for the sake of the club itself. Do-joon Lee or Tae-yang Geum will leave the club the moment they draw a line.

“Ha…”

There is no choice. I had to use even the useless power. Jinlina raised the corners of her mouth. She smiled awkwardly and comforted the rest of the members. Even in the worst situation, she wanted to save the ‘Truth Search’ club.

“Let’s try hard though. If you do well, you will be able to protect the club.”

* * *

“Shit, there are so many people.”

She spent the week unscathed. She had sex while preparing for the Academy Festival, and after spending her time sparingly, it was the day of the festival before she knew it. The academy was crowded with ordinary people.

There are plenty of cameras. Everywhere I went, people from the broadcasting station were standing. The cadets were called from place to place and interviewed. Dokgo Hwaryeon and Gong Suji have not been seen since morning.

‘I’ll take care of it.’

There was more interest in me than I thought. There were reporters and people asking questions everywhere. I answered as politely as possible. I did my best not to go against the Korean sentiment.

“Kimchi is very good.”
“Do you know Son Heung-min?”
“Yes, Korea’s Best Soccer Player.”

While raising their thumbs, they admire the greatness of Korea. Gukbbong is an eternal truth. Koreans have no choice but to have a crush on me. The people around them clapped wildly.

“Johnson! The pride of Korea!”
“Thank you for coming to Korea!”
“Johnson is an honorary Korean. Admit it honestly?”

People’s reactions aren’t bad. Rather, it was even positive. The affinity for Black Johnson was beyond imagination. It means that my ability is that great. A cadet who somehow wants to become a national hero, that is Johnson.

It subtly makes me Korean. I laugh because I like kimchi. And Kim Yu-na, Psy, Son Heung-min, and a three-stage combo formed a consensus.

“Does Johnson also participate in the battle today?”

The reporter held out the microphone to me. Today’s Battle, Cadet War means individual battle. A duel between cadets was the event that South Korea is currently interested in.

“Yes, I applied.”
“I am already looking forward to it. Johnson is one of the best talents in Korea.”
“I intend to do my best. To prove me, Yo.”
“Everyone is looking forward to it. So that’s it. This might be a bit of a risky question for Johnson, but can I?”

Slowly float your luck. Dangerous questions are not really dangerous. A question that may feel like a provocation to some. The reporter spit out the words with a sinister smile.

“Who is the most threatening cadet among the cadets of the Korean academy? From Johnson’s point of view, it won’t be as easy as this cadet. Will there be such a cadet?”
“Umm…”

I was asked a difficult question. Utilizing such a nuance, he laughed awkwardly. After sighing, slowly open your mouth. The strongest cadet in the current academy. I took one of the 3rd graders. A cadet called the hope of Korea.

“I think one of the seniors in 3rd grade is having a hard time.”
“Who are you? Are there any opponents that are difficult for Johnson?”
“Yes, senior Kang Moo-won is very hard. But the warrior does not back down. I will do my best to overcome it.”
“Are you talking about individual competitions?”

A reporter asks a sneaky question. I seriously shook my head. In a way, it’s a declaration of war. Koreans raised the plate as they wanted. All kinds of articles will pour out because of my one word.

“I understand Johnson’s will well. Are we just going to have to wait? The clash between Johnson and Cadet Kang Mu-won?”
“Yes, we will show that the future of Korea is strong.”
“Thank you for the interview. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

As soon as the question ends, people rush in. People who asked me to take pictures, people who asked for autographs, people who just asked me about the answer, and people who came to see me formed a crowd.

“Kimchi! Johnson, look here!”
“Please sign the T-shirt. On the chest side!”
“Did you say you could beat Kang Moo-won? Really?”

I had to control people. If you continue like this, you may get hurt. I pushed the crowd away with the power of 「Tootsuni」 And 「Doldori」. And then he ran away. Linked with [Iron Mk.2], It flew up.

“What?! Run away!”
“How do you fly in the sky? There are no possible properties!”
“Catch it! Catch me!”

Iron properties vary depending on how you handle them. It was also possible to fly through the air by using elasticity. I jumped up and landed on the roof of the main building of the academy.

‘Soon…’

There is one hour left until the individual exhibition at the academy. I’ll have to go to the field soon and wait. Bounced off again The roof floor was hollowed out, but it was reinforced with the power of “Rolling” And withdrew.

A cool breeze beat my body. He went all the way to the individual field at once. When I checked my smartphone, there were several messages asking when it would arrive. It seemed that almost everyone was gathered except for me.

Arrived on the field quickly. People came and went inside the field built like a large stadium. I avoided the general public and headed to the back waiting room. The waiting room was divided among the cadets. A male cadet in A class, a female cadet in A class, it was like that.

“Johnson.”

In the waiting room for the male cadets in Class A, there was Lee Do-joon. Lee Do-joon approached me with a nervous expression on his face. How active can he be as an evil attribute spirit? He’s not really looking forward to it.

‘It’s completely different from the original…’

If you do well, you may not win even one game and fall. It’s weaker than the original, so you can’t be careless.

In contrast, what about me? It has become so strong that it is difficult to compare it to the original. The individual championship belongs to me, the Black Johnson Anaconda.

─ Nice to meet you, everyone.

There are 30 minutes left before the start of the individual event. The moderator appeared in the center of the arena. He focused the attention of the crowd and filled the bracket step by step.

─ First, let’s start with Group A.

It is an event in which all students participate. Depending on the person, it is an event that puts much more weight than a class match or a club closed defense match. An event that everyone will give their full effort to because it is directly related to individual performance.

In the hands of the moderator, the bracket is completed. A whopping 400 participants. It was also a job to run all the games.

Because of this, it will be dealt with swiftly. I think about 350 people will drop in the morning time. Round 32 from afternoon. Real personal.

─ Class 1 A, Black Johnson Anaconda.

My name was called And the opponent…

─ Class 1 F, Minwoo Song.

An unknown extra. I sent a silent prayer to him.

─ Starts in 10 minutes! Right here, inside the gate!

An artificial gate was summoned in the center of the stadium. A gate made with the power of a non-elemental spirit. About 50 fields were displayed on a large screen. A personal exhibition will be held there.

“I’m nervous.”
“Do-joon, you don’t have to be too nervous. You believe in all the hard work you’ve done so far. Yo.”

He comforted Lee Do-joon with words he didn’t even have in his heart. Lee Do-joon started to loosen his hands and feet while laughing. The broadcast sounds and calls the cadets. From the waiting room, he steps onto the arena one by one.

I heard people cheering. I got goosebumps at the sound of tapping on my ears. People filling the stands. The cadets’ faces hardened. Lee Do-jun also has a messed up expression.

─ Pass through in a row. You don’t have to panic as each will be sent to the designated field.

The moderator told the cadets that. I went straight through the gate. Then the background changed. An ordinary square stadium field. Minwoo Song from Class 1 F is standing in front of you.

“Damn… All in all…”
“I will do my best, Minwoo.”
