Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Good Day (5)

How was it possible to migrate even though Cheon-ma wasn’t there? The exact situation was as follows:

When Yoon-seok disappeared, Lee Su-yeon began to trace his whereabouts and arrived in Moorim. And during a conversation with the Demon Brain, the story of migration was brought up. Of course, Demon Brain stubbornly refused, but…

“Now, when the child said it, he also changed his mind.”

Yongyong, who followed Lee Su-yeon, took her side, and Demon Brain gradually changed his mind. Perhaps he thought it wasn’t a bad offer, so he accepted when a good excuse came up.

“Hmm, so it was Yongyong?”

Cheon-ma patted her chin and smiled happily.

“To make such a grand decision alone, that kid has become a decent man now.”

“Yes, yes… t-that’s right!”

“All right.”

“T-then are all the questions over?”

He said confirmation, but it was like begging her to stop there. However, Cheon-ma’s eyes lit up.

“So, where is my vase?”

“V-vase?”

Ashton, who thought it was all over, couldn’t hide his shock. What did she mean?

“I decorated it beautifully on the main altar, but it must be in good shape, right?”

“ah! If it were inside the building, it would be fine. I’ll contact them right away and check!”

“Hmm, sure.”

Was it because he’s Yoon-seok’s acquaintance? Cheon-ma nodded obediently without any further complaint. However, Ashton felt it. He didn’t know what vase it was, but her attitude would be completely different if there were even a scratch.

“…So is Yongyong also here?”

“Yes! I’ve contacted them, so he’ll probably be here soon…”

“Mother! Father!”

Is this what people meant about talk of the Devil? As soon as Yongyong was mentioned, a light flashed beside them, and Yongyong appeared.

‘Come to think of it. He must have been alone for more than a month.’

Yoon-seok, who remembered Yongyong falling into panic due to separation anxiety in the Spacetime World, felt sorry for him.

“I knew that both of you would be well. I am so happy to see you again.”

He wasn’t as noisy as Yoon-seok thought he would be. His eyes were full of joy, but he didn’t run into their arms as before.

‘Yongyong has also changed.’

It felt like his childhood was finally over, and he was off on his own. He was also a bit taller than before.

“Then why did you come with him?”

Cheon-ma, who enjoyed a brief reunion with Yong-yong, turned her head. At the end of her indifferent gaze, there was one more person.

“Oh, you mean Eltas?”

“Yeah, the guy who’s always goofing around.”

Although he was a ranker in the necromancer class, he was selected as a teammate thanks to his unique ability to enchant items. Looking back, Cheon-ma hated him even in the Spacetime World. Well, Eltas didn’t show it, but he surely felt the same.

“Hahaha… it’s been a while since I saw both of you.”

“What do you mean, it’s been a while? So, why are you hanging out with our Yongyong?”

Cheon-ma was poised to tear away from her child’s bad friends. Yoon-seok was also curious. How did they even meet…?

“Mother, don’t be too harsh on him. Eltas is my close friend.”

“…Close friend?”

Cheon-ma muttered, her eyes giving off a strange light. It wasn’t much different for Yoon-seok either. How could he confidently speak such rebellion to her?

“Yes. He is a dear friend who’s been helping me with various things!”

“Hmm, for example?”

Yongyong hesitated for a moment and replied.

“…Eltas takes me wherever I want to go and brings snacks if I want to eat!”

Wasn’t that a servant, not a close friend? Yoon-seok thought that but…

“Is that so? Hmm, he must have been a pretty good guy.”

Cheon-ma seemed to have accepted Yongyong’s reasoning. Seeing that, Yoon-seok naturally turned to glance at Ashton. But…

“…”

“…”

They shared a silent glance. It was a cultural difference. Yes, cultural differences. Perhaps…

“By the way, do people keep gathering here because they have something to give us to eat?”

“…Is there anyone else coming?”

“Yeah.”

Yoon-seok widened his senses at Cheon-ma’s words, but it took about twenty seconds for him to feel the presence of the someone she was talking about.

It was none other than the King of Steel that was approaching.

“Uwahahahaha! It’s been a while, Yoon-seok!”

The King of Steel, who flew in a while smashing the invaders, suddenly stiffened.

“…Huh?”

He belatedly noticed Cheon-ma’s presence.

“W-who is this strong chick?”

“…Chick? Are you talking about me?”

“…”

As a fierce murderous spirit enveloped the crowd, the King of Steel shut his mouth tightly. Then he shook his head from side to side with all his might.

“Well, could that be? No, no way.”

Although Cheon-ma only glanced at him questioningly, it was a very foreign sight. Everyone, including Eltas, Yoon-seok, and Ashton, spat out a sigh of relief.

“…Haah!”

The stronger the opponent, the stronger you get. Wouldn’t it be fun to die fighting? The King of Steel, who used to shout those types of things, was smitten with a single word?

“Yoon-seok, I thought you would be the last person to make that guy bend over, but living in this world lets me see things like this.”

Yoon-seok turned his head at the unfamiliar voice from beside him. Lavan Vargas had suddenly arrived with a teleporting challenger.

‘What? Why is the number of people suddenly increasing?’

The only people whom he called were Ashton and Cheon-ma, but how many more were invited? Before he realized it, five duel rankers had gathered here. Two were in 1st place, and the other was in 12th. With this power, it would be possible to conquer dimensions. Not that they had a reason too.

“You aren’t lying that you didn’t mean it was me, right?”

“R-really. I-I am not a person who does such a thing at a first meeting. Could I know your name, Lady? I’ve never met such a strong woman bef…”

“…Not only a lady but also a strong woman? Judging by it, it looks like you were making fun of me!”

“Why, how come it’s like that! I-I just want to be friends…!”

While everyone was interested in the first encounter between the King of Steel and Cheon-ma, Yoon-seok, unable to bear it, stepped up.

“Please stop it. First of all, we are colleagues who will fight together.”

The showdown was just around the corner, so now wasn’t the time for them to resent each other.

“This is the King of Steel. He is the King of Bernille from Seheranbad.”

“Hmm…”

Yoon-seok introduced the King of Steel and Cheon-ma.

“Cheon-ma, is that her name?”

“It is a nickname like King of Steel. You will hear her real name later from the person herself.”

“I-I see.”

“There would be no way I would reveal my name to such an ignorant bastard.”

Cheon-ma kept grumbling, but anyway. She put her sword down and stopped fighting at that. After a sigh of relief, Yoon-seok looked to the King of Steel to ask what he was doing.

“So, what brings you here?”

“…I happened to hear that you returned, and I am getting bored. That’s why I’m here.”

It meant that he didn’t come because he had business to do.

“Lavan, how about you?”

“I came here in a hurry because I thought that fight-crazy bastard would cause an incident.”

He said so, but Yoon-seok also felt he had come because he had nothing to do and was bored.

“…It’s the day before the duel. Is it okay for everyone to be like this?”

“You always get to the point without hesitation. Is it because of the mask?

“I became like this as I lived my life. Oh, by the way, I haven’t introduced him. This is Lavan Vargas. He’s also a colleague I’ve been working with.”

Soon after, Yoon-seok introduced Lavan to Cheon-ma.

“It’s my pleasure to meet the Supreme Leader of the Demon Sect, which has a great reputation. Nice to meet you.”

“Yeah. Nice to meet you.”

Was it because he greeted her politely? Cheon-ma also smiled and greeted him. The King of Steel just looked at them like he was envious.

‘Did they settle down?’

With that thought in mind, Ashton opened his mouth.

“Yoon-seok, how about calling the others while everyone is gathered like this?”

“The others?”

Who else should he call when everything was already a mess? That was the first thought that came to mind, but Ashton wouldn’t have brought it up for no reason. Yoon-seok now realized his intention.

‘Well, it would be good to know each other’s faces.’

Just as the King of Steel and Cheon-ma almost fought as soon as they met, there was a commotion when completely different people gathered. Just thinking about what could happen when they ripped up the ticket already gave him a headache.

“Okay. Let’s do that.”

Yoon-seok decided to follow Ashton’s advice. Wasn’t it hard to trust people who didn’t know anything about each other? They needed to take the time to get to know each other, and they couldn’t afford to when the mission started.

“I’ll have the food and drinks prepared.”

“…I will leave that to you.”

“Yes, leave that to me.”

After Yoon-seok’s permission was granted, Ashton started making calls in a hurry.

“Can I put the table here?”

“Sir! The British royal family heard about it and sent a court orchestra…”

“Frost Mage! Can’t you see the meat is getting less fresh?”

The barren fields began to fill up as teleporting challengers appeared one after another. They were joined by top chefs, luxurious ingredients, tables, and various pieces of furniture. In that case, Yoon-seok thought it would be better to rent a hotel and go there, but…

Ashton smiled and said no.

“Hahaha, don’t you know what will happen if they drink alcohol?”

It wasn’t something he couldn’t understand. Not just the hotel, but the entire city might fly away.

“…Then, can’t we just exclude alcohol entirely?”

“There’s nothing better than alcohol to get close to each other. If you trust me, I will make the best of it.”

“Yes…”

When he completely entrusted this banquet to Ashton, the preparations were completed instantly. And the people who were called arrived one by one.

“Long time no see.”

Starting with the Overlord of Bow, Shama Liu…

“Human!”

“Sharon? Did you come to Earth, too?”

“I’m just sightseeing!”

Sharon Aphlan, the great demon of Kilian.

“I greet you, Co-Sect Leader!”

“How many times have I told you? There’s no need to be so polite.”

“But she’s next to you…”

“Ah…”

Alvern Palmer, the healing specialist, came next.

“…Was it Hailton? Did you help them?”

“Yes. Afterward, I met Su-yeon and moved to Earth with the people of my hometown.”

“I see. Welcome.”

All of them had gathered except for Lee Su-yeon. The surrounding area started to become crowded with their followers.

“Long live, long live, long live! Sword Demon Zheng Dayun! I offer my greetings to Heavenly Supreme and the Co-Sect Leader!”

“…Did the greeting change in the meantime? Why are you cheering like that? And your hands…?”

“I heard that this is the best Korean expression of respect, but is there something wrong?”

“…”

There were a few people who were strangely fitting in.

“Thank you for inviting me here. The people I met here will be of great help in establishing the Levant Neutral in the future.”

Ragna Hambledon.

“Long time no see. I came on behalf of my older brother, who is busy with state affairs, so it’s not rude, right?”

The Princess of the Katlan Empire. And many other people…

Aside from the fact that he made so many ties at the Tower, it was amazing to meet them on Earth like this.

“Oppa!”

“I’ve heard the news, but I’m glad to see you’re fine. Do you know how many were worried? You need to be more careful.”

Soon, Peter and Lee Su-yeon, who had just returned from their final meeting in Seheranbad, arrived.

“Yoon-seok, why don’t you say something?”

“It’s just an event to make friends. I don’t have much to say…”

“No matter what you say, everyone will like it, so don’t feel too burdened. Huh?

Yoon-seok, who was forced to stand on the podium under pressure from Ashton, glanced around.

‘How can I not be burdened in this situation?’

Hundreds turned to watch. Even the chefs, busy cooking from afar, stopped and looked at him. What could he say to satisfy their expectations?

Yoon-seok, after a moment of thought, smiled.

‘Since when did I start worrying about that?’

He didn’t want to bother with some mindless rhetoric, and they didn’t want to hear it either. It would be better to say what came to mind.

“It’s a good day. Let’s all get together and eat our fill.”

“Hahahaha!”

“After it’s all over, let’s get together and play like this one more time.”

“Hahaha…”

“That’s it.”

“…?”

Was it such a strange speech? When he put down the microphone, only silence remained.

Lee Su-yeon, her eyes twinkling from the front row, shouted.

“Oppa, what is it! A little bit longer!”

“It’s fine. What do you mean, longer?”

Yoon-seok waved her off as he stepped down from the podium. It was short, and it may not have been conveyed properly.

But it was sincere.

[31:12:47 until the next Duel.]

Tomorrow the duel on the 25th floor would start, and Yoon-seok would fight there.

He would keep fighting for a different reason than before.

“I’m glad you look happy, Yoon-seok.”

“…Can you see that even though I’m wearing a mask?”

“Yes. Today, I can recognize it for some reason.”

Yes, for this.
