Perfect World [EN]: Chapter 40

40

Immediately after the fourth match, God’s Knights was swept up in a trade frenzy. With the transfer season officially open, numerous professional teams, recognizing the talent within God’s Knights, eagerly sought to acquire their gladiators, flooding them with trade requests.

The most sought-after gladiators were Beomseok and his owned elves. Their outstanding performance against professional teams, leading to victory, was the obvious reason. However, Beomseok had no intention of letting them go and flatly rejected every offer. The problem didn’t stop there; transfer offers were also extended to other gladiators under his management. For these women, serving a master and advancing to a professional team that could bring them honor and their master significant financial gain was their greatest aspiration.

Eventually, with the team atmosphere completely lax, God’s Knights faced the Black Cats, the regional tournament runner-up from the previous year, in the sixth GA Cup match and were defeated with a score of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses. Against a formidable team that included gladiators of Erfina’s caliber, it was difficult for the mentally complacent God’s Knights to win.

Still, Beomseok didn’t find it all bad. Unexpectedly, they performed well, achieving victories against professional teams in the fourth and fifth matches. This resulted in a decent income, with him earning a total of 6.95 million Krang from the fifth and sixth matches. Adding the 6.7 million Krang earned from the fourth match, it amounted to a substantial sum of 13.65 million Krang. Furthermore, with the trades of several managed gladiators currently underway, the income was set to increase even more.

Ring~ Ring~

The loud alarm clock rang, shaking the room. Soon, Beomseok, who had been lying face down on the bed, scratched his disheveled hair, opened his eyes, and stared in disbelief at the green-haired elf lying beneath him. Naked, Leimi was hugging him tightly, her eyes sparkling.

“Leimi, what are you doing?”

“W-Well, that’s…….”

She hesitated, then flinched. He could then feel his erect member pressing against Leimi’s [vaginal] valley. He scratched his head, a sheepish expression on his face. He remembered spending a wild night with his elves until dawn, then falling asleep from exhaustion.

“Geez. You should have taken it out and slept comfortably. You’ve been like this the whole time?”

“H-How could I carelessly remove Master’s thing…….”

Beomseok, looking at Leimi who was blushing and turning her head away, wore a bewildered expression. He couldn’t tell whether to praise or scold her. It was admirable that she had been like this all night for his sake, but her inflexibility was not to his liking. Still, now that it had come to this, continuing what they couldn’t finish last night didn’t seem like a bad idea.

Beomseok slightly pulled his waist back to start. Then, a tingling sensation followed from his lower body. The dried-up clumps of fluids from the night were intertwined. But undeterred by this hindrance, he continued to move his waist.

Thud. Thwack. Thud. Thwack.

Her shapely body, lying on the bed, shook from the recoil of Beomseok’s actions. Leimi, who continued to suck in his member as if absorbing it with her waist, moaned loudly.

“Ah! Hnnng!! Haaang!! M-Master. I’m happy! Keep going! Aaaang!”

Before long, the recoil, which had been sticky with her profusely flowing fluids, began to flow smoothly. The enveloping, constricting mucous membrane accepted his member without reservation, as it glided smoothly. Leimi’s nipples, pressed against Beomseok’s firm chest, were rising endlessly towards the sky.

Now, his waist, having gained momentum, was gradually increasing its speed.

Thud thwack. Thud thwack. Thud thwack.

Since the house was an open-plan design with no partitions, their actions could be heard even by the other elves preparing the meal in the kitchen. Despite having enjoyed the act so much last night, Oscar was anxiously placing side dishes on the table, while Venus glanced enviously towards the bedroom. Erfina, who was in charge of the main dish, budae jjigae [Korean spicy sausage stew], mistakenly sprinkled a lot of salt instead of sugar due to the surging emotions in her chest.

“Aaaang! M-Master’s thing is so hot. Ah! But it feels so good. Kyaaa!”

Oscar, who was listening to this from afar, couldn’t bear it any longer and covered her ears tightly with both hands. Preparing a warm meal for their master was a great happiness for the elves, but the greatest joy was, without a doubt, being held in their master’s arms and uttering moans. It was only natural for her, with her weak mentality, to be restless.

“Aaaang! M-Master. Y-You’re amazing. Aaaang! What do I do? It feels so, so good. Aaaang!! I will always be by M-Master’s side. Aaaah!!”

Whether she was overwhelmed with happiness or had reached the peak of pleasure, tears began to well up in Leimi’s eyes. Seeing this up close, he burned with desire, embedding his member even deeper and thrusting it left and right. She twisted her body at the newly beginning, unprecedented sensation and hugged Beomseok tightly. The large amount of lubricant that welled up instinctively clearly showed what state Leimi was in.

Thud thwack thud thwack. Thud thwack.

Oscar, having finished arranging all the side dishes on the table, looked at Erfina, who was fidgeting by the stove, with a hurried expression. She, too, must have finished, as she put on thick oven mitts on both hands, grabbed the handles of the pot, and quickly moved it towards the table. Erfina, thinking that all preparations were now complete, grabbed Oscar and Venus’s wrists and approached the bedroom.

Looking at the elves who were subtly watching him, Beomseok patted the empty space on the bed. It was a signal for them to come and lie down quickly. They smiled brightly, took off their clothes in a flash, and lay side by side on the bed, pushing out their hips so that their genitals were clearly visible.

As if sensing it, Beomseok penetrated his member deep into Leimi’s body and shuddered. She gently closed her eyes and began to savor the warm energy flowing over her valley.

“Good. Next is Oscar.”

Beomseok, who boldly pulled out his member that had been buried in Leimi’s lower body all night, moved to Oscar’s black forest valley this time and violently thrust it in. She was already consumed with excitement even before the act began, her toes trembling. And as Beomseok began to move his waist in earnest, she shook her hips in unison, matching his movements.

As Beomseok continued to move his waist madly, the genitals of his elves were gradually stained with white honey. This meant that the effort of washing their bodies in the morning was going to waste. Still, they seemed happy, sending unwavering, intense gazes as they waited for their master to come again.

“Hoo~ It’s too complicated.”

While watching the video screen floating in the air and learning about the promotion tournament to be held next spring, Beomseok was racking his brains over the unexpectedly complex promotion and relegation system. The promotion and relegation system in this world was completely different from the simple system of 3 teams being promoted and 3 teams being relegated, as seen in the European professional soccer leagues of reality. This was all due to the fact that the number of professional teams in the upper and lower leagues differed by a factor of eight.

‘It’s easy to be relegated, but really hard to be promoted.’

First of all, at the end of each season, the bottom 3 teams below 18th place in the league were unconditionally relegated to the lower league in their respective home regions. And the 16 teams that won or were runners-up in the 8 lower leagues would then go through another promotion tournament, with up to 5 teams being able to move up to the upper league. However, the problem was that, unfortunately, there were occasional cases where not a single team was promoted.

‘So, depending on the circumstances, the number of teams promoted can vary greatly from 0 to 5.’

If both the 1st and 2nd place teams in the league move up to the upper league through the promotion tournament, and there are no upper teams being relegated down to that league, then 2 teams will be vacant. In addition, since 3 teams are unconditionally relegated from that league to the lower league, a total of 5 teams are vacant. This is when 5 teams from the lower league are promoted.

And if both the 1st and 2nd place teams in the league fail in the promotion tournament, and all 3 teams being relegated from the upper league have their home base in that league, then even if 3 teams are relegated to the lower league, the number of 20 teams will remain the same. In this case, even if a lower league team wins the promotion tournament, it will not be able to enter that league.

‘Geez, it would be so unfair if no one could go up after all that hard work for a year.’

Therefore, the Professional League Federation was implementing a certain compensation policy for such teams. This was to provide a considerable amount of compensation to the teams that ranked 1st to 3rd in the promotion tournament. The amount varied greatly depending on which league it was and the ranking, but it was enough to buy at least a core player in that league.

As a result, the team that was unfairly eliminated could re-challenge for promotion with a better roster the following year.

Beomseok, having examined all the details of the promotion and relegation system, minimized the Gladiator Professional Federation’s website and brought up the God’s Knights team’s website. Then, he opened the transfer request menu and checked the contents.

‘Hoo~ I want Stephanie to stay on the team.’

The trades currently in progress were for two managed gladiators other than Stephanie. The highest offered price for Stephanie was 2.55 million Krang, and the others were 870,000 Krang and 910,000 Krang, respectively. Well, the latter two were just mediocre gladiators, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if they left, but Stephanie was not at all. If she, a skilled player ranked 5th or 6th in the team, were to transfer, the team’s strength would obviously decline significantly. Naturally, he couldn’t help but worry.

‘Well. It can’t be helped. I can just trade in other gladiators.’

If he sold all three of them, Beomseok could earn an additional income of 4.33 million Krang. If he combined this with the 210,000 shares of Micro Engineering Co. that he owned, he could use a total of about 18 million Krang as transfer funds. With this money, he could buy three gladiators of Leimi’s caliber.

‘But I can’t use all the funds. I’ll need a lot of money to advance to the pros by passing the promotion tournament to be held next spring.’

In order to rise to the Area League, it was not enough to just form a gladiator team to participate in the league matches. A number of coaches, including a manager, were also needed, and another team’s worth of gladiators to play in the second-team matches had to be equipped. On top of that, there were team doctors, training camps, offices, and office staff……. There were many places where money would be spent. If he spent these funds as he pleased now, there could be a situation where he would not be able to enter the pros even after passing the promotion tournament next year.

He minimized the transfer menu again and brought up the stock website.

‘Hoo. The price per share is 172 Krang…….’

The price at which Beomseok bought shares of Micro Engineering Co. was 168 Krang per share. The current stock price was 4 Krang higher than that. This meant that he had earned 840,000 Krang in total, but Beomseok was not very happy about it. The income was lower than expected, and it continued to fluctuate, so in some cases, it was trading far below the purchase price.

He thought that this was probably because the rumor that Micro Engineering Co. had a large amount of funds had not spread in the market, but he couldn’t help but feel worried.

However, unless this stock became a hit, advancing to the Area League next year was as good as gone. Even if he passed the promotion tournament, there could never be a promotion if he did not meet the conditions presented by the league.

So he immediately spent 10.32 million Krang to purchase an additional 60,000 shares of Micro Engineering Co.

============================ Author’s Notes ============================

The most worrying episode is appearing. This is because of the difficulty of understanding the promotion and relegation system. Those who were expecting a typical promotion and relegation system may be very confused. But if you don’t understand, you can just skip it. I will promote several times later, so this content will be explained naturally.

Then, everyone have a comfortable night. See you next time.
