Chapter 653: The Continent’s Savior and Hero (2)

Chapter 653: The Continent’s Savior and Hero (2)

That was how serious the atmosphere in the room was. Han Sora said that it wasn’t that big of a deal, but how couldn’t she be bothered about it?

Even if I was in the same position as Jung Hayan, it was a situation where I would inevitably be uncomfortable.

For example, let us assume that Kim Hyunsung was secretly raising soldiers, administrators, or alchemists, and one of the alchemists was called a genius, comparable to Lee Kiyoung.

One day, when I felt that Kim Hyunsung was avoiding me, how would I feel if I received the same message?

[Jin Qing, I’m really looking forward to this research. I want you to know that Jin Qing is the only hope for the development of the continent’s alchemy.]

[What?]

[Oh, sorry, Kiyoung. It looks like the hand mirror was hacked… Don’t mind it. It really seems to have been hacked.]

[What? Fuck, what is it? Are you kidding me right now?]

If it were me, I could guarantee that I would’ve made that bastard a demon summoner at any cost.

Hence, of course, Jung Hayan would react like that.

The least she could do was express her anger to the fictional wizard named Park Mijin, but I was certain that she wouldn’t be satisfied without eliminating her.

Perhaps everyone named Mijin in the continent would have their lives threatened.

Of course, she couldn’t eliminate the talent pool I was managing.

If it were me, I would think there would be no other way than that, but Jung Hayan, who hadn’t reached her limits yet, had one more option.

‘Skill.’

If she showed her skills and proved herself as the better wizard, there would be no problem.

If she weren’t confident about her skills, she might lean toward the former option, but Jung Hayan was different from me.

Although she had become a little lazy, she was by nature a genius wizard, and she had the potential to grow to be within the top five of the whole continent.

‘In some cases, she’s overwhelmingly the number one.’

For example, large-scale magic…

What was impossible for Kim Hyunsung to do, Jung Hayan could take over.

Fighting the main bosses was Kim Hyunsung’s role, but it was the academic belief that he couldn’t reach them without Jung Hayan’s abilities.

Perhaps even Han Sora understood that sentiment. I wanted to tell her the exact mission, but the problem was that she currently wasn’t in a situation where she could look at messages.

Biting her lips tightly, she was waiting to see what kind of reaction Jung Hayan would show.

-…

-It’s probably… bullsh*t. We can’t compare her…

-…

-to you, but…

-Ugh, no. I really hate Park Mijin… She’s really, really annoying. R-R-Right? Park Mijin is annoying, right?

-Yes, she… she’s annoying…

‘I wish I could tell her a little more…’

That came to my mind when I saw Sora Han looking as if she didn’t know how to deal with the situation.

‘Ah, I might be able to do it now.’

It might’ve been possible for me to do something similar to what Benignore did.

‘I have wings now. I also gained divinity.’

Wouldn’t it be possible to convey thoughts or give down quests?

I slowly operated with the feeling of removing a bit of the divinity inside, and when I sent it to Han Sora, I felt that something was definitely delivered.

It was quite plausible as I said something I wanted to say in more detail.

[Generating a common-grade forced quest.]

[Tell her that Park Mijin is in charge of the northwest. (0/1)]

[Delivering a common-grade forced quest to Han Sora. You have not registered any quest-clear rewards. Player Han Sora will not receive any.]

‘What? It really worked.’

I didn’t really think that would be possible. Of course, I thought there was some possibility, but…

‘It really worked, fuck.’

Since I had gained a mythic-grade class, it would be okay to call me a demigod.

Han Sora, who I could see through the telescope, looked very startled, but she regained her shock from realizing what method I had used and opened her mouth again.

-Well, ah, Maybe Park Mijin… I think she will be in charge of the northwest region. That…

-It was originally…

-Yes, er… It was decided that… I mean, you would be in charge of it, but… you have many issues to be concerned about. Maybe Vice Guild Master is taking care of your health. He may have thought that it might consume a lot of magic power. It can be physically difficult to take care of everything by yourself.

‘You’re doing well. You’re doing really well.’

The creative skill of prescribing medicines right away when she’s about to explode was astonishing even to me.

It felt like I was witnessing her controlling a runaway locomotive called Jung Hayan skillfully.

Even if the stage was a cliff, it wouldn’t be awkward to express it as a godly dribble. It’s kind of like entering a zone.

That’s not thinking and talking. Those were the lines that her survival instincts spat out on their own.

-You… think so?

-Yes, but…

-Yes, ugh…

-I think you need to be a bit careful. Of course… it doesn’t mean anything else to the Vice Guild Master, but… we don’t know what Mijin thinks of him. She may not be taking ordinary favors as favors… and since the title of genius is attached, the Vice Guild Master might be paying a lot of attention. He takes great care of talented people, right? That wizard named Park Mijin may have caught his eye by chance.

-Would it be better to k-k-k-kill her? If I find her… If I find her and kill her, oh, she’ll still be weaker than me, right? I can get rid of her.

‘No, you can’t kill her.’

She couldn’t kill someone who didn’t even exist.

[Generating a common-grade forced quest.]

[You have to stop her. (0/1)]

[Delivering a common-grade forced quest to Han Sora. You have not registered any quest-clear rewards. Player Han Sora will not receive any.]

-Let’s kill her. Yes, I should. That should end it all, right? Right?

-You… can’t kill her. If you kill her… er… the Vice Guild Master will definitely notice… So, yes, please don’t kill her. If you kill her, he might get mad… Please, don’t think like that.

‘Hold on, Sora. Be strong.’

-You can just… the Vice Guild Master know. Yes, you can tell him. Prove it yourself.

-Yes, like I proved my purity before?

-No! Not purity proof! You can’t prove it like that! Not purity proof… Let me rephrase that. Prove to him that he doesn’t need another wizard. Make sure that he doesn’t need any more talent… no, you can’t let him forget that.

-Ah…

-If you prove that you are strong enough and that he doesn’t need Park Mijin and any other people’s help, wouldn’t he come back to you? Of course, it may be a little difficult as it is now, but… you are Jung Hayan. You can become stronger here, right? Right?

-Uh… yes.

-You can have a bit more self-esteem because Jung Hayan is cute enough, beautiful, and capable. The Vice Guild Master is already in love. He even sends you several messages like this. Um… Even during his busy schedule, he is always thinking of you.

-Yeah, but… what if Mijin gets stronger?

-E-Even if she does… How much stronger can she be? No matter how hard she tries, she won’t be able to catch up with you because Jung Hayan is a genius. You are special.

-Y-Y-You think?

-Yes, yes, I do. That’s it.

Han Sora’s face, taking a deep breath, was pale. She was fully hit with killing aura several times, so I understood why.

I, too, had my eyes trembling while watching a fight that made my hand sweat. The confrontation was between the one who wanted to explode and the one who tried to cut off the fuse.

At first, it seemed that Han Sora’s victory was declared, but I wondered if she knew that she couldn’t let her guard down.

She had only passed the first crisis. She might’ve thought calming down an explosive Jung Hayan while studying later was the real start of the battle.

Even though I was anxious, I felt like I could trust her upon seeing her firm face. Even while having a hard time breathing, the way she was taking care of her was truly the real hero’s appearance.

It was enough to say that Han Sora was saving the continent.

I really wondered if it would be nice to give her a merit award after everything was over.

That’s how much a self-sacrificing hero could show.

‘You are a hero. Be strong. You are a hero.’

-I think… it’s better to start studying from today. I’ll help you as much as I can…and I’ll try to tell…the Vice Guild Master about it… in a good way.

-Ugh, thank you. Thanks, Sora.

-Don’t mention it. I am always honored to be with you…

The heated conversation ended with Jung Hayan, who didn’t make good physical contact with others, slightly hugging Han Sora.

Of course, Han Sora, who was surprised, looked like a frog tied to a snake, but she looked very happy.

It was as if she was giving thanks to someone and praying that she was safe.

At that scene, I, too, couldn’t help but applaud.

I was still nervous about it, but what was important was that Jung Hayan had gained an opportunity to grow, and in a very stable way at that.

After waking up, I had to smile, feeling as if I had roughly sorted out one of the things that had piled up.

‘There’s still a lot to do. I have to solve everything as quickly and efficiently as possible.’

I had to organize the internal and external affairs.

‘With that out of the way, I should take care of the Blue Guild and learn about the continent’s overall situation. The first thing to do is keep an eye on Hayan and find out exactly how many days are left.’

I opened the door after sorting things out.

[Rare-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[B-Believer Lee Kiyoung! No, junior Lee Kiyoung! You woke up! (0/1)]

‘…’

[I was surprised that a quest was suddenly created. As expected, our Lee Kiyoung adapts quickly. Oh, I mean… You know that I love our believer Lee Kiyoung, right? (0/1)]

‘…’

[I was really surprised that junior Lee Kiyoung adapted so quickly… Who would have thought that he would use his divinity by creating a quest like that right away? Perhaps the system responded to his wishes. It isn’t easy to match one’s wavelength with the system immediately… I wonder if the current system is also welcoming Lee Kiyoung because of his heart for the continent… All you can do right now is create quests, but maybe you can do more when you come here. (0/1)]

‘…’

[You’ll be able to read thoughts, among other things. The people here are very satisfied with this result… we’re still in the same boat, right? Believer Lee Kiyoung? We are, right? We’re holding the same stock, right? Selling and buying together… at the same time… I… I want to do it too. (0/1)]

‘Changing the subject… Just tell me what the situation is right now. Fuck, is this really because of you?’

[… (0/1)]

‘This is not because of you, right?’

[… (0/1)]

‘I’m asking if it’s because of you guys, Benignore.’

[I mean, that’s not correct per se. We didn’t have any influence on that incident, but the crack opened, and… it’s still being investigated here… So, we are doing our best from above. I’m running around in various ways because I want to get help as much help as possible. A-Anyway, we’re not the cause. It would inevitably happen anyway… and, even though it’s us, we can’t resist the things that have already been decided… So don’t resent us too much… (0/1)]

‘How many days do we have?’

[A rare-grade forced quest has been activated.]

[36 days… (0/1)]

‘Fuck…’

[A rare-grade quest has been activated.]

[Believer Lee Kiyoung… You can do it, right? You also received power. I know that you can do it. You’re not throwing me away, right? (0/1)]

[A legendary-grade quest has been activated.]

[After 36 days, please protect the continent with me. Please… Please protect it together with me. (0/1)]

[Reward: Goddess’ Love]

‘Don’t keep consuming divinity, fuck… Stop creating legendary quests or things like this.’
