Swordmaster Wants to Live Peacefully – Episode 80

Grand Lotus (5)

All the employees in the center gathered to watch Yoo Seong-woo.

A loud noise echoed throughout the center.

The muscle strength measuring machine was smashed to pieces with a deafening roar.

This had never happened before.

Well, there had been cases where the machine broke, but never where the fixture couldn’t withstand the force and was torn from the floor.

The fact that only the machine was broken, as if there was no need to fix anything else, meant it broke before the force even reached the base.

It was the latest equipment.

It meant there was no way to measure his muscle strength with the other machines.

“Wow, it’s breaking….”

“Look at the shape it’s in. The floor didn’t even crack.”

“But how much did that thing cost?”

“The management office will probably just repair it, saying it’s a celebration because an S-class appeared, right?”

“I don’t know.”

Yoo Seong-woo’s measurement was still in progress.

But now no one could doubt him.

He would seize the S-class position with the highest record ever and receive everyone’s admiration.

After the physical ability measurement, it was time for magic power measurement.

Yoo Seong-woo poured mana into the machine to the fullest and broke it.

He had broken more than three machines so far.

He was breaking all the world records.

Yoo Seong-woo waited for the measurer’s words, asking what the next measurement was.

As if what he had done so far was nothing, he wasn’t even out of breath and remained calm.

The onlookers thought they might be witnessing the birth of a legend.

“T, the measurement is over….”

“Nothing much.”

Yoo Seong-woo moved around as if he was finally warmed up.

Ordinary people put all their energy into the measurement to increase the numbers even a little, panting, but Yoo Seong-woo didn’t even show a hint of exertion.

He handed over his license, telling them to hurry up and renew it.

The measurer, who had ignored him at first, received the license with both hands and moved to renew it.

Yoo Seong-woo waited in the waiting room until his license was renewed.

And, of course, many people gathered.

Most of them were scouts who had gathered after hearing the news of the new S-class diver.

“Please, join our guild….”

“Wouldn’t you like to join Black Bear? We’ll give you the best treatment.”

“Come with us….”

An S-class diver appeared after a long time.

It was natural for scouts to covet him.

Yoo Seong-woo glared at the scouts flocking to him.

“Get out, all of you.”

A strong pressure emanated from him.

Most of the scouts were divers with some skills, but they could not withstand the force pouring out of him, so they had no choice but to step back quietly.

When the surroundings became quiet, Yoo Seong-woo closed his eyes.

An atmosphere formed where no one could approach.

Not long after, Yoo Seong-woo was called from the front desk.

“S, S-class. Congratulations on your promotion! As an honorable explorer who adventures in the abyss in the future….”

Yoo Seong-woo didn’t even listen to the end, took his license, and stuffed it into his pocket.

He slowly moved towards the exit.

The automatic door of the center opened, and people’s eyes followed him.

As he walked out, bathed in the sunlight, several luxury cars pulled up to the entrance.

“Oh, oh? That car, I think I’ve seen it somewhere….”

“That’s definitely the one, the one that S-classes ride in….”

It wasn’t just one or two cars.

Three cars arrived.

The doors opened, and people got out.

Baek Woo-hyun, an S-class diver from the National Sword Association.

Hong Seo-hwa, an S-class diver from Red Dragon.

And the last person to appear was Yoo Ji-woo, an S-class diver from Meteor Industry.

S-classes are few and far between.

The number has decreased even more since Min Cheong-woon died.

Therefore, S-classes are an important force beyond comparison.

Politically, and for the security of the country.

Because only S-class divers could stop a 1st class or special class abyss from appearing [Abysses are ranked by class, with 1st class and special class being the most dangerous].

But, three S-class divers gathered in one place.

No, now there were four.

It meant that nearly half of Korea’s S-class power had gathered.

People racked their brains to guess what was happening.

‘Did those S-classes come to scout him?’

People’s thoughts leaned towards that.

The appearance of a new S-class was an opportunity to greatly increase the power of a guild.

However, their thoughts were soon shattered.

By someone’s shout.

“That, that person! Yoo Ji-woo! He’s Yoo Ji-woo’s brother! I remember!”

Before, when Yoo Seong-woo first returned to Earth.

It was the person who helped with the returnee registration at City Hall.

She worked at City Hall and was transferred to the diver center in Sehyun City, where she reunited with Yoo Seong-woo.

People began to buzz at her shout.

Yoo Ji-woo’s brother.

Didn’t that mean that a new S-class was being created in Meteor Industry?

If that happened, it would clearly mean that the power structure of Sehyun City would change greatly.

But there was another question that followed.

What did the other two S-classes come to do?

Scouting again?

Maybe.

It would be a great advantage if the National Sword Association or Red Dragon could recruit an S-class.

However, they arrived too quickly for that.

While other S-classes were nowhere to be seen, Baek Woo-hyun and Hong Seo-hwa appeared with Yoo Ji-woo.

What could be inferred was that the two already knew of Yoo Seong-woo’s existence.

If they already knew of Yoo Seong-woo’s existence, they would know that he would not go to another guild because blood is thicker than water.

But why did they come?

People’s questions were also shattered.

Completely shattered.

Baek Woo-hyun and Hong Seo-hwa played rock-paper-scissors, and Hong Seo-hwa, who won by showing scissors, jumped up.

Then, she happily put Yoo Seong-woo in the passenger seat of her car.

This was not scouting or anything.

A simple, very clear reason was visible to people.

Showing off friendship.

This was clearly showing off friendship.

Showing everyone that he was the brother of the representative of Meteor Industry and a person whom Hong Seo-hwa and Baek Woo-hyun would treat with the utmost respect.

That’s how it looked to people.

The National Sword Association, Red Dragon, and Meteor Industry joined hands.

They were about to do something with the leading guilds and companies joining forces.

There were many scouts at this place, so this news would soon spread throughout the country.

Of course, it was not just news that would reach the ears of humans.

Even to the domestic elves and the Ascension Church, who would be watching this event.

But no matter how strong they were, they would not easily think of attacking if a large force came together.

Therefore, people witnessed the moment when a new force was born in Sehyun City.

A huge force that no one could easily touch.

* * *

“Kya~ Soju [Korean distilled rice liquor] tastes amazing!”

Hong Seo-hwa, with a flushed face, shouted, raising her glass high.

The place where the four gathered again was a pork belly restaurant.

Considering their status, a high-end restaurant might be more suitable, but the four of them were more comfortable here.

From the beginning, no one was born into a wealthy family, or had been.

There was no rule that those who started from the bottom and reached the top had to meet at the top.

The bright red pork belly was turning brown, and the sizzling sound and smell stimulated the appetite.

Well-cooked pork belly and a glass of soju… It’s a taste that anyone who has eaten it can never forget.

“There’s one more person I need to introduce to you guys.”

Yoo Seong-woo said, holding a piece of meat in his chopsticks.

“Ah, of course, anyone introduced by the master is fine. Aren’t we all going to risk our lives together in the future?”

“Me too.”

“…That’s what they say, Yuwol.”

At his words, Yuwol of the Towel tribe entered the room.

This time, with her ears exposed.

Baek Woo-hyun and Hong Seo-hwa, who saw her twitching ears, dropped their chopsticks, and the sound rang out clearly.

Yuwol opened her mouth with an elegant smile.

“It’s been a while, Baek Woo-hyun and Hong Seo-hwa. How have you been?”

“Don’t use polite words, just come in and sit down.”

“Yes.”

At Yoo Seong-woo’s words, she sat down in the empty seat.

They had met before. The form of their first meeting was strange, though.

Thanks to that, it was not unreasonable that the two did not remember Yuwol.

The first meeting was held with gas masks on.

Baek Woo-hyun, Hong Seo-hwa, and Yoo Ji-woo were hunting frantically in the special abyss, and later Yuwol and Knox were put in.

The three had to keep fighting without time to think about who Yuwol was.

Later, they almost fainted, so they forgot to ask who she was.

Therefore, it was the first time that Yuwol formally introduced herself to the two.

Yuwol introduced herself with a bright smile.

“I’m Yuwol, the former high priestess of the Towel tribe. I look forward to working with you.”

“W, w, well….”

“I look forward to working with you….”

Hong Seo-hwa, who was not immune to this kind of atmosphere, trembled at her bright beauty and presence.

Baek Woo-hyun just greeted her awkwardly.

He couldn’t have imagined that the person he was going to introduce was the high priestess of the Towel tribe who had withdrawn from Earth.

“Try this~!”

Moreover, wasn’t that Towel tribe member flapping her ears and trying to wrap a lettuce wrap for Yoo Seong-woo?

Yoo Seong-woo glared at Yuwol with an expression telling her not to be ridiculous, and she put the lettuce wrap she was going to give him into her own mouth.

Her pouting face was so funny that Hong Seo-hwa couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pfft.”

The moment people’s eyes were on her, she laughed loudly and said.

“No, I just thought that the Towel tribe is no different from us.”

“Of course. What’s so different about the Towel tribe? We’re all the same.”

“There are a lot of rumors about the Towel tribe. A race that worships the mystery of prophecy. The human god does not answer humans, but the Towel tribe’s god gives the most definite answer.”

“The god who does not answer has no substance. If you worship a god with a clear substance, there is no reason why the answer will not come down.”

Yuwol said that and tried to feed Yoo Seong-woo again, but stopped because his eyes looked like he was about to draw a knife.

“And the Five Colors Shamanic Association is an example. A group that borrows the power of a god with a substance that answers questions.”

Currently, several religions have collapsed.

It was a natural consequence.

After the Great Disaster, some religious gods gave answers, but believers were disappointed in their gods who had no answers and switched to other gods.

Among them, Christianity and Islam suffered the biggest losses.

The gods of the two religions, which have the same roots and do not recognize other religions and insist on only one god, did not answer their believers.

A god who does not answer despite having many believers.

The gods of other religions performed miracles or gave answers for their believers, but in contrast, they did not answer.

Even to the desperate calls, as if wishing for the destruction of mankind.
