Turns Out To Be a Genius Duelist Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Administrator b 2}

He understood what kind of system the Wish Auction was. In a way, it was similar to becoming a mercenary. These wish points were paid for their requests. Yoon-seok may be commissioned by one of the top seven people who offered the highest payment through the auction.

However, it would be foolish to choose based on the requests and payment. Each client had a Unique Attribution to be bought as payment.

'It's frustrating to not know how much WP is needed to buy the Authority…'

Of course, there was also the option of not signing a contract.

「Would you like to sign a contract?」

Just shake your head here, and all of this would end.

However, Yoon-seok nodded.

“I'll do it.”

It was a wild guess, but there was a fair chance that most challengers had signed a contract. Although the fifth floor was up against a large beast, the previous duels up until then had always been between challengers. Without a contract, one's growth was bound to decline. Like in a computer game, it's like saying you don't want to complete the main quest just because you dislike it after completing only the tutorial.

However, Yoon-seok wanted to ask a question before signing, and the clown fairy smiled and allowed it.

“What happens if the wish is not granted?”

It wasn't that he couldn't achieve it. He wondered if there were cases that someone didn't put effort into doing it. There must be some kind of restriction. The clown fairy grinned as if he could see through Yoon-seok's fast thoughts.

「Nothing is specified, but in that case, the administrator can issue a penalty. Does that answer your question?」

When Yoon-seok nodded, the clown fairy proceeded to the next step.

「Please select an administrator to sign a contract with.」

1, Lady of Liberation.

2, Heavenly Warrior.

3, Commendable Light.

4, Little Giant's Heart.

5, Hate Incarnate.

6, Battlefield's Madness.

7, Judge of Conflagration.

It was finally time to choose. Yoon-seok thought carefully until the very end. Just by looking at the characteristics of the authority, he was drawn to the Heavenly Warrior. Although the bid WP was only ranked 2nd, Yoon-seok saw a big difference between 3 million and 3.7 million, so it was a difficult choice.

Besides, his desires were decent. Yoon-seok wanted to be strong enough to have no enemies left in the world.

However, there was only one reason why Yoon-seok had yet to choose and kept thinking over his choice. It was because of Heavenly Warrior's gaze toward Lady of Liberation. When the spotlight shone on her, he looked at her as if to say, “You participated in the auction without having any wishes?”

His gaze raised Yoon-seok's suspicions. At first, he hadn't had much thought about his desire. It seemed he was trying to take care of a warrior he liked. It was such a vague and careless belief. It seemed like WP also carried significant value to them. If they could acquire them indefinitely, then there wouldn't be an auction in the first place.

'What do I get from becoming stronger?'

It was not just a hasty wish. Give and take. If he became the strongest, there was a high possibility the Heavenly Warrior would want something in return. The conditions of the requested wish were good enough to mislead him, but he could feel the hidden sense of intent. Well, it was no different than the Lady of Liberation.

'No desire? What the hell is she trying to do?'

Yoon-seok sneaked a glance at the Lady of Liberation, but he couldn't see her expression since it was still hidden under her robe. He frowned as he contemplated his choice.

'If there's no way in finding out their intentions, it's better to choose the most helpful one.'

After making his decision, Yoon-seok's fingertips slowly pointed into the air. In the Heavenly Warrior's directions. There was a change in the complexion of others who silently watched his actions.

It was a real shame. On the other hand, realizing he'd been chosen, the Heavenly Warrior's expression was bright as ever. But then.

「Lady of Liberation used 200,000 WP to request Challenger Choi Yoon-seok to use her power for a while.」

「Request permission.」

「The chosen power is Clairvoyance.」

Yoon-seok's eyes lit up.

Yoon-seok lost his senses, suddenly feeling as if he'd fallen into the water. When he came to his senses, he wasn't in the arena anymore. With a huge screen before him, it seemed to be an area similar to a movie theater. He appeared on the screen, standing in a blood-stained grassland.

A man with two swords was fighting a war alone against thousands. His equipment, hair color, and aura were vastly different from the present. Maybe he was older, as his face was lined with experience. Yoon-seok immediately recognized that the man was him.

'W, what's this….'

Powerful. To the point where it was meaningless to judge the immense power. The video didn't stop until tens of thousands of enemies were slaughtered under his blades. In time, he was the only one who remained on the bloody battlefield.

'Kerixis…?'

Flickering, the screen turned to the arena Yoon-seok was ever familiar with. There stood Kerixis, the King of Steel who gave him his first defeat.

“In the end, we meet again.”

“I heard the rumor. I'm sorry about that…”

“Shut up.”

In the video, Yoon-seok fought with him. It was a battle between heaven and earth, but this time it was him who survived.

「Victory.」

The fight went on continuously. As one battle ended, another one arose, and his opponents kept changing. There were moments when humans, beast people, fairies, magical species, and sometimes overwhelming creatures like the Giant Hydra faced him. However, the one thing they held in common was that they were all so powerful as if they could transcend fate.

In the video, he won against all such opponents.

“That day, she knew this would happen.”

“Yes, what's there left to be said to the warrior? Let's get started!”

The most difficult opponent was the young woman he met last time. She used a singular sword, and the magnificence radiated from it was somehow similar to the Heavenly Devil's. When she was defeated, there was a change in the video flow, which was only fighting.

「Invincible.」

「You have achieved the Heavenly Warrior's wishes.」

Yoon-seok watched the video as if he were in a trance and finally understood. This was his future after contracting with the Heavenly Warrior. The background changed again.

Now it was his first time seeing this place. It was a quiet mansion with a pond in the front yard.

-Well done, you've made it to the top.

“…Just give me the WP.”

-Huhuhu! There's still one thing left, so what's the rush?

Yoon-seok looked at the Heavenly Warrior without saying anything, his eyes full of distrust.

“If you've been deceiving me, I'll cut your throat first.”

-I don't think I've ever seen such a shaky warning. Stop worrying! You will soon be able to fulfill your wish.

Yoon-seok didn't even answer back. Then, a despicable madness was revealed in the Heavenly Warrior's expression.

-Hahaha! I didn't lie. Yeah, I didn't lie to you! Good job. Now rest in peace! I'll fulfill your wish for you!

At that moment, something flashed, and the video stopped. Yoon-seok was filled with an inexplicable discomfort. He was constantly wary of him while he spoke to the Heavenly Warrior. Thanks to this, he could predict that something bad had happened at the last minute. But he wasn't sure what.

'The heck, you should've shown it until the end. What are you trying to tell me?'

As he complained to himself, white light filled the screen, and Yoon-seok looked around transfixed. At some point, he was returned to the arena.

Yoon-seok looked at Lady of Liberation. As if the choice was his and his alone where no words were needed, she said with finality.

-I don't want to see you regret it.

Was it acting or sincerity? Yoon-seok's hands paused. At that moment, the Heavenly Warrior cried out.

-What, clairvoyance? What did you show that kid?

An urgent cry.

-Don't be fooled! She's the suspicious one! You don't expect anything from spending 3.7 million WP? There's probably something up her sleeve-.

However, he was cut off by the clown fairy.

「I didn't know that people who know the custom of a wish auction would intervene like this, even using their special wish power.」

「As a moderator, I will not allow any further intervention.」

Whether it was during the clairvoyance or talking to the Challenger, although it had already happened, this additional persuasion before the original choice wasn't supposed to happen.

'If he hadn't said anything, I might still choose him…'

What the Heavenly Warrior said to slander the Lady of Liberation could apply to himself. As if he had a guilty conscience, he confessed that he had invested 3 million WP with wicked intentions?

'Clairvoyance…how far can I trust you?'

He was in turmoil. He didn't know if what he saw in clairvoyance was true or not. But, the Heavenly Warrior's gaze at the choosing stage and the vulgar cry from earlier lingered in his mind. Clearing his mind, he pointed again at his choice.

「Challenger Choi Yoon-seok and Lady of Liberation have signed a contract.」

The announcement popped up, and a furious cry from the Heavenly Warrior rang out.

-It's wrong even if you sprinkle ashes on cooked rice! It's invalid! He tried to pick me! It would have happened if that crazy bitch hadn't cheated!

The cry only contained half-truths. It was true that he tried to choose him, but it was also true that he stopped choosing him after looking at his unprecedented future. But should he say he dug his own grave? The most decisive factor was what he shouted afterward.

「I admit there was an issue, but you cannot invalidate a contract that has already been established.」

The clown fairy's firm answer added fuel to the fire as the seven swords tied around the Heavenly Warrior's waist floated out of their sheaths at the same time.

-I'd rather kill you here than be your enemy!

As if they were tied to threads, the seven- swords floating mid-air all surged toward Yoon-seok. The clown fairy's face turned ashen at the unexpected violent act, and the other nominees entered viewer mode as if they were seeing something interesting for the first time in a while. However, it was different for Lady of Liberation, who was now in a contractual relationship with Yoon-seok.

The action was taken before Yoon-seok could even respond.

-Don't worry, no one here can hurt you.

A mushy touch passed down his back. Only belatedly did Yoon-seok realize that the Lady of Liberation, suddenly appearing behind him, pulled him from behind. And the fact was that if she hadn't, his head would have been sliced off.

Boom!

Seven swords rushed through the air in a flash. But Yoon-seok couldn't feel threatened by it. He realized that an invisible shield was blocking the seven swords. Unlike the warm voice when she whispered to Yoon-seok, the Lady of Liberation spoke to the Heavenly Warrior with a voice as cold as the northern winds.

-You once shined more than anyone else, but you've become so ugly in all those years. MC, since the contract is concluded, can I take him now?

「Yes, yes! Please!」

-Just you wait! I won't let you get away-!

Tak!

The moment the Lady of Liberation flicked her finger, all he could hear was a ringing in his ears.

When he closed and opened his eyes, Yoon-seok was in an ordinary home.

“Well, would you like a cup of tea?”

Lady of Liberation asked him in a soft tone. Yoon-seok nodded carefully. He didn't regret not choosing the Heavenly Warrior. The minute he took out his swords, Yoon-seok could confirm that he was a classic example of a two-faced person. But this and that were two different things.

Could this woman be trusted?
