Chapter 1552 – [Social Debut]

As a result, Eden declined his invitation. Since the competition was in full swing, showing that we, who were important people even if not referees, were talking to someone separately was no different from throwing bait to reporters.

So, even if I was asked to do something by Cheonma, I did not intend to give any advice until the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk national team lost or won. In the meantime, it would be a problem if anyone saw Eden meeting and talking separately with the US national team captain.

“I’m sorry. I have a separate schedule later. Sorry, but please buy me coffee next time.”

“Oh, no. I was too unexpected. I think I was a little excited to meet Miss Wakamo, whom I had only heard about.”

“You seem to be very interested in me?”

“Yes, because he is a great person. And… Oh, it’s nothing.”

Considering Eden’s contributions to society so far, it’s only natural that people will like him. How many fan clubs do you already have?

However, if you want to approach it in a romantic sense, you have to get over me first.

As the two people finished talking, I sneaked in between them and stood in an exquisite position. He must have noticed that too and looks at me with wary eyes.

“What’s going on?”

“Ah, I am also the Wakamo miko bodyguard. I don’t know about anyone else, but if you have someone who is one of the most powerful in this tournament next to you, you have to be on guard to a certain extent. Please understand.”

Actually, it’s just an excuse. That bastard next to me is doing all the talking, so I can stand still and protect Eden.

As a father, all I can do is block people who manipulate my daughter. Just because he’s a father, he doesn’t deserve to interfere with his daughter’s dating business, but if he’s a person who doesn’t meet the standards, shouldn’t he be kicked out?

First, if you want to ask Eden out on a date, you have to at least become a transcendental person. If you want to get married, you have to be able to withstand being hit by my chest.

“What is your relationship with Miss Wakamo?”

“In this position, I am a bodyguard.”

“In a private setting?”

“No comment on that, but at least it’s not what they think. Don’t misunderstand.”

Even though I said that, the other person frowned as if he wasn’t listening. And although you couldn’t see it because it was covered by a mask, Eden probably had a rotten expression on his face as well because he knew what he was talking about.

That guy thinks I have an affair with Eden. No matter how much I don’t know about this situation, I just came out as a married man, but I don’t know why people don’t believe me.

“… See you next time, Miss Wakamo.”

That’s how I broke up with Lucas, the captain of the U.S. National team. And after that, Eden confessed his vain misunderstanding.

I don’t know if it’s just another misunderstanding, but if she hooks up with me, I’ll become her next of kin, so she seems very annoyed because of that. However, it was difficult to resolve any misunderstandings as we couldn’t openly say that we were father and daughter in front of someone we met for the first time today.

People who are blinded by love tend to cause trouble… But it doesn’t feel very good.

“But it won’t work against Dad, right? They probably think the goalkeeper is a bad guy.”

“Eden, I guess you don’t know because you’ve never been in love. Humans are basically fools who try to overcome such barriers when they are blinded by love. In fact, there are some who think that having such things is more rewarding.”

“Ah!!!! What are you dissing because I’m solo!!!!”

“You should add mother’s womb in front and call it mother’s solo.”

“I’ve had a boyfriend before, so I’m not single from birth.”

“I didn’t date you because I liked you anyway, so it’s a no count.”

“You want to make her daughter single like that?!”

“Dad, I hope Eden can live with dad for the rest of her life.”

“Dad is blocking my marriage!!!!”

Anyway, we joined Keter and returned to the hotel. After hearing the story with the U.S. National team captain, Keter nods his head and agrees with the story.

[Because strong males usually have multiple females. Isn’t it normal to think that no matter how married a man is, he has a number of sexual partners? That’s why they mistakenly believe that they have that kind of relationship with Eden.]

“Humans are not beasts, so is that normal?”

[You think that way because you are from Korea, so you have Confucian sensibilities embedded in you whether you know it or not, and because this is America, you probably have a more open mind.]

“Uh… When you say it like that, it strangely makes sense.”

Although it cannot be said to be absolute, the United States is more sexually open than Korea. If you just watch dramas, it takes several episodes to get to a kissing scene in Korea, whereas in American dramas, they start fucking from the very beginning, so of course there is a difference.

But what makes you think that a healthy married man would cheat? Honestly, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.

[Then I think I’ll get into an accident. What are you going to do?]

“Just take a look. It’s not worth looking into yet.”

“What if I keep approaching?”

“Shotguns, shotguns… They will be sold at gun stores nearby, but there must have been shotguns made at Horizon for fathers with daughters…”

“Why is that there!!!!”

“It’s what your older sisters used when they got married.”

“Wow!!!! Shotgun Mary!!!!”

Shotgun marriage, one of the American customs, originated from the bride’s father holding a gun and saying, ‘Do you want to take responsibility for the child, or do you want to be shot and chased after?’ I’m not talking about shotguns for fathers with daughters for no reason.

Probably a lot of fathers with daughters in America have at least one shotgun?

[Anyway, this competition will be fun. I’ve only seen love triangles in dramas!!!!]

“It’s a love triangle, but one side is father and daughter, so it’s a vertical relationship, not horizontal.”

[I think the accident will happen after the finals. They are probably confident of winning, so they will do something after winning.]

“I hope it’s not a big accident.”

There was a problem, but it didn’t cause any immediate problems. The next day, the competition continued as usual, and although there were some slightly more injured people due to the heat of the competition, there were no other unusual problems.

Every time a team wins, someone’s money is lost, but that’s a minor problem. Gambling is one of the oldest human cultures, so it cannot be helped. It just doesn’t have to be illegal or match-fixing.

“I thought there would be match-fixing because there was a lot of money being exchanged, but that wasn’t the case.”

“Because he is a member of the national team, and I am there. If he knows that he will be left behind if he gets caught, he won’t take unnecessary measures.”

“I see.”

But there was a bit of a problem. What can I say, it feels like the host country made a slightly poor move?

I looked at the bracket. It’s a tournament where the winner moves up, but the Vatican team and the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team are in the same group, and the U.S. Team is in a different group.

In short, if aiming for the finals, the U.S. Team has almost no opponents to be wary of, but the Vatican and Sun-Wol Shinkuk inevitably had to fight against a strong contender to advance to the finals. It smells like it took a lot of effort to squeeze this.

“Isn’t it possible that it’s just a coincidence?”

“Dad, that’s how I feel.”

“Ah!!!! I’m jealous!!!! I wish I had the same sense!!!!”

“The important thing about sensory ability is experience and time. Dad, that was overflowing, so the keenness of sense and intuition is different.”

Eden has clearly awakened two abilities, and one of them is ‘sense’ like me, but the mastery of that ability is not that deep yet.

The ‘transformation’ she unconsciously used while eating since she was young is at least a little better. However, her ‘sensing’ ability was awakened relatively recently, and she lacked the experience and time to master it, so it was natural for her to be inferior to me as a Lord.

First, if Eden wants to get on the road, he must first master those two abilities. And she is qualified to climb the road only when she has a firm image and understanding of the concept of climbing the road and her own will.

You can see how intense the load is at the point where it is qualification rather than confirmation. Thanks to you, Eden too has gone through hardships.

[What are you going to do?]

“Well, it’s not something I care about. If they get caught, the only ones who will be in trouble are the Americans, right? Just leave it alone.”

[I thought they might take action because of the kids from the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk side, but it looks like that wasn’t the case.]

“Winning is good, but losing is also a good experience.”

“That’s right, I did the same thing once when I was tempering the Demon Lord.”

“The difference in experience is different just because you saved the world, my daughter.”

Unless there is something that will cause harm to us, I plan to leave it alone. In any case, even if they had good luck in the match, the Ilwolshinguk kids would have had to face a strong contender for the championship, whether it was the American team or the Vatican team.

Even if a problem is revealed later, we just have to maintain that we didn’t know about it. I’m sure there won’t be any idiot who will ask me if I didn’t notice and recognize it until then. If there is, he will be beaten without knowing.

And then it was time for the much-anticipated match between the Vatican team and the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team.

Both look quite impressive. On one side are exorcists who have been training for quite a long time. My career as a psychic is like Eden.

And on the other side are the followers of the Sun and Moon God Kingdom, which the Heavenly Demon decided and taught. Still, perhaps because he was a newbie to the magic attack, he was putting pressure on his opponent with a fierce force.

It’s all good, but I’m worried I might get into an accident.

“Oh!!! It’s a close fight!!! Who will win?”

[Who do you want to win?]

“It doesn’t matter who wins. Anyone can win!!!!”

If there was a problem, I decided to intervene and focused on the game. Eventually, as soon as the game started, the two teams clashed.

The Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team tried to leave no room for them. If they were left with strength, the other team members could work together and aim for a comeback like they did when they won before, so they pushed from the beginning. Thanks to this, the Vatican team was forced into a fierce offensive with no room for defense.

But on the other hand, you can’t kill people in this game. If that happens, it will be stopped long ago.

The confrontation between the opponent who believed that the other would not die and that he would not die was intense. As much as a situation where you are actually fighting for your life. Moreover, even though they were different, they were ultimately fighting due to religious beliefs. The clash between them was very rough.

Kwaaaaang!!!!

“It’s over!!!!!!”

The victory was tilted towards the Ilwolshinguk national team, which decided to step forward from the beginning. If the Vatican team had held on and gained some time, they would have won, but this is a matter of compatibility.

There is nothing we can do about it because the Vatican team’s damage output is superior to that of the Vatican team. If the opponent had been weaker than I in attack power, the Vatican team would have definitely won, but since that was not the case, the result was obvious.

However, as the two teams bickered and fought and were about to reach a conclusion, there was a danger of crossing the line. The other party was very excited, and what’s more, one of them was skilled in magic, so when he saw the blood, he couldn’t see anything.

If he decides to kill his opponent with his murderous spirit, a catastrophe could occur, but I figured it out long ago, and the moment he reached out to the Vatican representative and cut off his head, I used my telekinesis to stop his hand.

“… Huh?”

He questioned the sudden stop of his hand, and I jumped straight out of the VIP section and stormed into the stadium. The overheated atmosphere of the game is evoked.

“That’s it. In the end, the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team won, but because of the foul, I’ll give it to the Vatican team.”

“No, this is…”

“Are you dissatisfied? I tried to kill someone because I couldn’t properly endure the mental problems caused by magic attacks. This is a competition, not a slaughter battle. Killing is not the goal, but if you try to kill your opponent, you are disqualified.”

“… I’m sorry.”

“If you don’t have an opinion on that, I will rule that way.”

In the game itself, Ilwolshinguk was on top. Because they were the ones who were able to weigh down psychics who had trained for more than a dozen years due to magic with their specifications.

However, although they may be superior militarily, they are not mentally disciplined. That is why I gave the victory in this fight to the Vatican.

A person with complete abilities can only be completed when both spirit and strength come together. There is no point in being biased towards one side, but if you think about it, those who tried to kill the opponent by focusing only on power are no different from disqualification.

My opinion will be conveyed to the organizers separately, and a decision will be made soon after. Even though it wasn’t my judgment, the camera that was filming the game judged that the Ilwol Shinguk team was at a level where they could kill their opponent, so they were soon disqualified.

“This match is a victory for the Vatican national team!!!!!”

Soon after the referee declared, various reactions were seen. On the one hand, the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team was the favorite to win, and so was the Vatican team, but the Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk team had the upper hand, but such a decision arose because of that decision.

In response, I announced the results separately to calm public opinion.

“The Sun-Wol-Shin-Guk national team tried to kill the Vatican national team by going beyond suppressing them, so we declared defeat against them through a penalty. This is also a judgment of evil emperor.”

Of course, if it is just my decision, problems will arise. However, it wasn’t long before support fire was added.

This is because Cheonma supported my actions through a separate official statement.

[The Emperor’s remarks are correct. They deserved to lose by decision because they were unable to control their devilishness and tried to do more than subdue their opponents. I only offer an apology to the Vatican national team who suffered damage due to this incident.]

One of the most talented people in the world, and the support of me and Cheonma, a warrior. In fact, people had no choice but to agree with the remarks of the industry’s top expert.

It’s not like there aren’t people out there who have doubts, but… No, what should I do? Two of the strongest warriors say that. Are we really going to give a shit about that? I won’t do it unless I’m crazy.

Afterward, I gave various advice to the Ilwolshinguk national team, which lost by decision.

“From next time, you will control your demonic nature first. It seems that strength is the best in martial arts, but on the other hand, spirit is also important. In the first place, the important things in learning martial arts are heart, energy, and body. Even though you have achieved energy and body, you have a problem with heart, so you lost. “

“Yes… No shame.”

“Still, I will be able to win the next competition. Instead, if I lose control and go wild like I did this time, I will end up losing the decision. So go back and get proper mental training and study. Don’t fail like I did this time.”

“Thank you for the advice, Demon Emperor Daehyeop.”

With sufficient training, they too can become clear candidates for the championship. But things in this world cannot be done simply by being strong…

For now, I’ve skipped the story about them. Although they were eliminated in the middle, this was a very good experience for them and will be passed down to future generations.

On the other hand, the problem is that I have to attend regularly and prevent accidents if they occur. No, is it a regular event, so I have to participate? Huh?

Aside from that group’s performance… The American team was in shambles. Since there was no one to interfere, I easily broke through and climbed up. Moreover, the American team was mainly composed of super-powered players, and on top of that, it was difficult to deal with them because they were lightning-type super-powered players.

Electricity is effective in subduing humans, and not only can it be used as an ability, but it can also be strengthened with an exoskeleton suit. If you can supply energy with your own abilities, the limits of the suit will be considerably higher…

No, the reason the Iron Man suit sucks in Iron Man is not because of the arc reactor. There is no need to worry when there is a sufficient power source.

Moreover, since it is for competition use, there is no need to use it for a long time, so it can be used more effectively. In fact, you can think of their exoskeleton suits as being equipped with a drone of that size.

“Hmm, then will America win?”

“Dad, I hope the Vatican team wins.”

“Is there Mr. Lucas in America?”

“Anyway, I hope that bastard doesn’t win. Cheer up, Vatican!!!!”

“I’m not an official judge, but I don’t think I’m taking one side.”

“But that doesn’t mean you decide you don’t like one team and give them a penalty.”

“That’s right.”

Anyway, beat the Vatican!!!!

America cannot win!!!! If that side wins, trouble will definitely arise again like a chain quest!!!!!
