Chapter 1551 – [Social Debut]

The opening ceremony parade was completed without any problems, and the competition began in earnest. Meanwhile, Cheonma contacted me using my personal number. I think they probably contacted me because of this competition.

“Uh, it’s me. Did you contact me about the competition?”

-You must have noticed. So, what about those kids?

“It wasn’t bad. His skills were pretty good.”

-After not teaching for several years?

“You know that, so why are you saying that?”

Even Heavenly Demon knows. The national team sent this time is strong enough, but weak to clearly aim for the championship.

No matter how much magic you have, lack of time is a problem. Ultimately, this ability requires training over a long period of time to become effective, but in the case of martial arts, learning it for only a few years has its limits.

However, since magic is magic, I don’t know about this competition, but the winner of the next competition will definitely be the Sun and Moon God National Team. Considering the growth potential of magic, the gap could be widened significantly in just a few years.

-I know this too. So, I spent this competition as an experience. Even if you win or lose, it will be a good experience in the end.

“Why are you saying this when it’s better to win?”

-That’s right. Oh, and I also heard about your girlfriend. You debuted as a model?

“Did you see that too?”

– Her beauty is beyond compare. There was so much attention in the midfield, but it would be amazing here. So, you went to college too?

“That’s why I’m having a hard time.”

-So wouldn’t it have been better to reveal the identity from the beginning and raise it?

“You can always learn the sensibilities of those who stand above you later, but you cannot easily learn the sensibilities of ordinary people. That is my educational policy, so leave it alone.”

-Well, I thought you would say that.

Cheonma and I have different sensibilities. If the two of us had children, Cheonma would be raised strong and special, but I would raise them relatively normally, but with plenty of protection.

In some ways, the parenting styles can be seen as opposites. Since it is a difference in individual inclinations, it is impossible to say who is better… Honestly, if Cheonma decides to raise a child, she has no choice but to do so because she is the next religious leader.

“But why? What did you contact me about?”

-If I have time, I hope to give some simple advice to those children later. They have received training, but this is their first time in real life, so they will make mistakes and have a lot to learn.

“If that’s the case, I’ll give you some appropriate advice, so don’t worry.”

-Okay, next time I see you, I’ll buy you a drink.

“Maybe Eden will take her with her then. Probably not as a Wakamo shrine maiden, but officially. Of course, I will be the same.”

-Wow, that’s quite something to look forward to. Doesn’t that mean you don’t have to look at that strange mask?

“Oh, what’s strange about the mask my wife made? It’s just cute.”

-That’s cute, and you have unique tastes.

“Originally, couples adapt to each other’s tastes.”

-Hmm… Is that so?

“That’s right.”

Even if you know that Cheonma is raising a child while raising a disciple, she has probably never been married… I wonder if there are very few people she can marry in the first place.

Anyway, when I wasn’t going to watch the game separately, I took a leisurely rest at a hotel prepared by the U.S. Government. When I have to run a store, I go to Korea and work there, but other than that, being present is important.

“Hmm?”

The hotel facilities and service were very good, but there was something that bothered me.

It doesn’t happen inside a hotel room. In the first place, the U.S. Government is not an idiot and there is no way they wouldn’t use wiretaps or something like that in front of me, so they can’t allow something like that to happen openly. Rather, it will only inflame my antipathy, and if I tell Zion, the US president will change.

In short, this is what happens outside the hotel. There was quite a distance, but there were eyes clearly heading in this direction.

“Are you a paparazzo?”

I looked intently into the distance through the glass window. And in a building about 2 kilometers away from here, on a similar floor to the hotel I was staying in, I noticed someone pointing a camera in this direction and taking pictures.

It’s pretty open with no obstructions and the weather is nice… So if you have a telephoto camera, you can take some pictures from this distance. The good news is that in the United States, we decided to wear masks, so we didn’t show our bare faces.

The paparazzi filming in this direction were pressing the shutter button, not even knowing that I had spotted them. Well, it looks like they’re trying to sell the photos of Emperor Hung staying at the hotel as gossip, right?

I couldn’t just leave it alone, and it was obvious that if I took a picture of Eden or Keter, it would be all over the newspaper, so I sent a vicious shot at the paparazzi. To the point where psychosis or anxiety symptoms appear as if you don’t know when you will die.

Then, in my field of vision, I saw the paparazzi holding his heart and dropping his camera. I smile at that and close the curtains in my room.

Then, as I was going down to eat, I spoke to Eden and Keter separately.

“They both closed the curtains in their rooms. There were paparazzi.”

“It wasn’t anywhere nearby?”

“It was quite far away, so they filmed as if they were sniping from a building about 2 kilometers away.”

“Wow, if it’s that far away, you should buy a telephoto camera, but there are people who put money and effort into it.”

“I guess that means we can make a lot of money. And if they find out our identities, it will be a huge scoop.”

Finding out the identity of a famous person whose identity is hidden is a scoop among scoops. This is especially true if the opponent is a famous person with special abilities known to the world, like me or Eden.

Keter, it doesn’t matter because you’ve been showing off your face in the first place, but there are many people in the world who are curious about the identity of the evil emperor and Wakamo shaman. And that interest is gradually growing and shows no signs of abating.

And it will explode someday. It has to be revealed before that. Actually, I didn’t think I would hide my identity forever, so I decided to do it when Eden came out.

[If you look at the articles written by reporters, there are no fantasy novels at all.]

“That’s right, that’s right. I saw an article a while ago that had the nuance of saying that my dad and I had a scandal. Wow, honestly, it was disgusting. I’m just saying it because I don’t know, but if me and my dad are incest!!!!!”

[There was also an article linking me and Emperor Hung, and honestly, I like that.]

“It’s okay because we’re not close relatives.”

“My daughter’s tastes are very consistent.”

“I respect other people’s tastes and my taste range is wide, but I cannot tolerate just three genres.”

“One must be a close relative, what are the other two?”

“NTR and scat water. I’m a pure lover and I don’t eat excrement!!!!”

It’s somewhat understandable, but if you think about it the other way around, doesn’t that mean I’m allowed to have anything other than those three?

My daughter’s taste range is very wide. It feels like our Zion who thinks about strange pervert play at night. If you look at it, it must be the mother and the daughter.

“Anyway, Eden always wears a mask because you never know where the paparazzi will come from.”

“Is it okay to take off your mask when you go to Korea and put it on before you leave?”

“You don’t know, okay?”

“Okay!!!!”

I’m going to come out sometime this year, but we’ll do it at a location we’ve planned. I have no intention of doing this without being caught by others.

In some ways, Eden is one of the important events in her life and she can’t ruin it like that. On the other hand, isn’t this Eden’s second social debut? Of course, she should do well.

Anyway, after briefly getting over the paparazzi incident, we decided to watch the talent competition in earnest. There are a lot of strong candidates this time, so it will be quite fun to watch.

“But Dad, why isn’t the Korean team a contender for the championship?”

“My dad often teaches me, but that doesn’t mean it’s a cheat. Still, it’s at least enough to get me to the quarterfinals.”

The Korean national team participating in the Chunmu Association is a strong enough team. I also often showed my face to the Cheonmu Association and taught children, so I can’t be weak.

However, I would say that they are a little weak to aim for the championship… It’s not that I don’t care, but it’s because the kids there are so talented. Moreover, there is an age issue.

There is an age limit for competitions, but how many people can learn martial arts like Jeongjong and become successful at that age? Rather, the Korean team is strong enough for its age to be treated as a sufficiently skilled martial artist no matter where it goes. It’s just that there are a lot of stronger people in the competition.

“What if I go out?”

“Uh huh, if my daughter goes out there, there’s no need to compete and she and I will end up as strangers. Even if we take everything else out, she could win on her own.”

First, Eden is also Korean, so she would be qualified to compete as a representative of Korea… I think she could wipe us out if she just uses spatial resonance to throw a space charm. Now that Eden is a transcendental person, national troops must be brought in to stop him.

My daughter has really grown up. If she became a transcendental person at the age of 20, she would be amazing.

“Oh, Dad, look at that. The leadern team!!!”

“Huh? What is it? Ah.”

“That guy is spewing fire out of his mouth!!! It’s the real yoga fire!!!!”

“I guess there is a way to manifest supernatural powers like that.”

“It’s useless, but I want to use it.”

“Why don’t you try talking to Yerosto?”

Superpowers and psychic abilities are the same spiritual power-based abilities, but their mechanisms are different. Well, for example, Eden performing an exorcism using spiritual power was a spiritual power, and the time manipulation that he obtained from the Demon Lord George in the other world was a supernatural power.

In short, psychic abilities have a limited range but are specialized, while psychic abilities have a wide range but rely heavily on one’s own talent and effort. I can’t say for sure which is better, but ultimately it comes down to the training you have accumulated.

The contestants fought brilliantly and powerfully, to the point where they were eye-candy, as expected from a competition for talented people that only happens once every few years. It is inevitable that there will be a difference between victory and defeat, but perhaps because they did their best, the loser’s expression did not look that bad.

And the U.S. National team, one of the favorites for the championship, was drawn against the British national team.

“I leave home with my crazy dad and end up with a successful son!!!”

“No, it’s true if you think about history.”

The British team’s concept may have been King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, but they were equipped with a modern reinterpretation of plate armor, as well as shields and swords, and psychics dressed in robes who looked like wizards were stationed at the rear.

On the contrary, the American side felt like a near-future soldier wearing some strange equipment. They were wearing something like an exoskeleton suit and had other additional equipment, but they basically did not have any weapons.

A scene as if the past and the future were fighting. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in who will win, regardless of the country they belong to. Since the genres of medieval knights and near-future military romances are different, it is quite difficult to take one side.

Eventually, the match began.

The knights of the British team, who were unmanned, advanced with their shields displayed. Since the weight of heavy armor and weapons is not that much of a problem for those with this ability, that alone becomes a wall for them.

It seems that they are planning to take out the opponent by putting knights at the front and magicians at the backfiring artillery fire. It is a basic tactic, but it is effective. At least unless the battle line collapses, it will be difficult for the U.S. Team to attack them.

But the U.S. Team dealt with them in a fairly simple yet surprising way.

It’s so bad!!!

During the opening ceremony, a young promising player I had been eyeing unleashed a burst of electricity and fired it at the knights. It wasn’t a very strong attack, and the British team blocked the attack with a shield, but what he was aiming for was something else, not an attack.

Boom!

“Huh?! What!?!?”

“It all sticks?! It’s not like it’s magnetized to the armor…!!!!”

Since they were going to be dealing with supernatural powers in the competition, they had to be treated separately, but they didn’t know that they would be given magnetism, so they stuck to each other due to strong magnetism. The magnetism itself could be removed if those with special powers applied force, but it was difficult to remove it because several pieces were attached at once.

And other American team players took advantage of that gap and overpowered the British team’s super-talented players. They also resisted, but for them, whose firepower comes from having a battle line in the first place, victory and defeat were decided as long as the knights collapsed.

The exoskeleton suit worn by the U.S. Team was so powerful that they won an overwhelming victory. Hmm, he appears to be a lightning-type psychic, but does he run on self-generated electricity? Anyway, I was worried because there were no batteries or anything like that, but I guess that’s the problem.

“Oh, the American team is strong?”

“That’s right. This time, I can see that you were really determined and prepared.”

“Especially that oppa is quite strong.”

“It looks like they made separate equipment specifically for people with special abilities, and how much money did the American kids spend to make it?”

“Then can we win?”

“You’ll have to see that to know.”

When today’s game ended, we tried to go back, but Eden said he would do some work for a while, so I went with him as a bodyguard. It’s nothing else but to treat injuries sustained in today’s match.

With the essence of Eden’s water, even serious injuries can be recovered, and the national team can return to the next match without any aftereffects. You could just make the water essence and pass it on, but since there is an image, Eden meets the injured people in person and heals them.

There are many types of injuries. Fractures, burns, cuts, etc. Although there were medical staff prepared, there were some wounds that could not be healed right away, and Eden healed those wounds by sprinkling purified water and making them drink it.

“Broken bones all at once… It’s like magic!!! Thank you so much!!!!”

“I was worried it would leave a scar, but it healed instantly. Thank you, Miss Wakamo!!!!”

“No. This is something that should be done to those who worked hard today.”

The effectiveness of water purification was known to the world when the water purification foundation was created in Korea, so no one denied or doubted her healing abilities. Rather, I was just amazed after seeing it right in front of my eyes.

While I was in the middle of treatment, someone suddenly came to the medical center. He is a young man who appears to be a promising member of the U.S. National team that we saw during the game earlier and is probably the team’s captain.

He is talented and has a high level, so he is quite tall and handsome. He found this place and came over to say hello.

“Hello, Miss Wakamo. And the Emperor.”

“Ah, the U.S. National team…”

“Yes, my name is Lucas Wahlberg, captain of the U.S. National team. It is an honor to meet you both.”

He said hello to us, but at the same time, his attention was on Eden. If nothing else, he knows everything when he sees the person his eyes are focused on.

Even though her face is covered with a mask, it seems that our Eden’s charm cannot be hidden. At the same time, I didn’t have any good feelings toward the bastard who was eyeing my daughter.

“But Mr. Lucas, why did you come?”

“Oh, I got a scratch while helping the British team after the game, so I came here to disinfect it for a bit.”

“If that’s the case, show me your wound. I’ll treat it.”

“It’s not a big enough wound to worry about…”

“It’s okay. Get treatment while you’re here, and show a better game later when you’re in perfect condition.”

Eden treated the wound on his forearm. He expressed his affection for Eden while stroking his healed forearm with a strange expression.

“It was treated cleanly, right?”

“That’s amazing. Thank you so much, Miss Wakamo. But…”

“Yes?”

“If it’s okay, I’d like to talk about it over a cup of coffee later. Is that okay?”

Look at this guy playing tricks.

Since this is the United States, if you search nearby, you will find a huge shotgun for fathers with daughters, so I felt like I should get it.
