The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 186

"[Dongbangsak, did you see it?]"

"...Yes, I saw it."

In response to the question from Musing, Dongbangsak answered while kneeling.

Unlike his usual relaxed expression, he had a cold and stiff expression.

He seemed quite shocked by the transformation of Manguibongsin.

"He showed potential. So I will continue to nurture his growth."

"He couldn't awaken the third bell. Do you still not plan to take him?"

In response to Musing's words, Longginus, who was next to Dongbangsak, asked with a sarcastic tone.

When he first used Manguibongsin.

He mentioned that if Sung JiHan couldn't awaken the third bell, he would personally take care of him.

"Yes. Rather than implementing the third task, his current appearance is more important."

However, Musing casually reversed what he had said before.

The transformation of Manguibongsin.

To him, it was a much more important issue than using the third task of annihilation.

"Longginus, you said you wanted to educate the author last time, right?"

"Oh, yes... education... that's what I said."

Of course, it was "education" in words, but he actually wanted to beat him up.

Longginus nodded with a troubled face.

"Do it."

"Can I...?"

"To grow as a human, you need an opponent. You two should be quite compatible."

Hmph.

In front of the two kneeling disciples, the shape of the Earth appeared.

"Since the tutorial of the Earth is almost over, you will soon be able to intervene freely."

"Then...!"

"However, intervention is limited within the Battle.net."

"Hmm, so we can't defeat... I mean, educate him in reality?"

"Longginus, if you go that far, we will also be regulated by the system."

"That's a shame."

Longginus licked his lips.

What's the point of losing in a game?

He wanted to show him the bitterness of reality.

To him, Musing added a quiet word.

"If someone among you can make him submit, I will grant a wish."

"...A wish, you say?"

"Yes, Longginus. In your case, it will be death."

"...!"

"To Dongbangsak, I will give him Manguibongsin."

At Musing's words, the gaze of the two men completely changed.

At first, even if Sung JiHan didn't want to see them, he had thought about educating the young man to some extent.

But now the situation has completely changed.

Since Musing said he would grant them the wish they desired.

"Dongbangsak, I'll go first."

"Hehe, wherever you go. You should serve as a disciple with me for the rest of your life. I, on the other hand, will learn some martial arts this time."

"For the rest of my life? That's a terrible thing to say...!"

The two disciples, who had become sincere.

They wished for the tutorial of the Earth to end quickly.

So that they could intervene.

[The global BattleNet Federation showed a congratulatory response to Sung JiHan's game clear, but internally, there was boiling resentment.]

[The People's Council issued an angry statement demanding the revocation of Sung JiHan's player qualification! They failed to gain any sympathy.]

After a long conflict, the public's reaction was heated over the dramatic clear of the rehearsal game on Christmas Eve.

In particular, the clear method received a lot of attention.

-Wow... Was it really that easy to clear?

-They kept the ankle-grabbing players trapped and cleared it, lol.

-The People's Council was trembling with their Fly Magic Equipment, but Sung JiHan showed that it wasn't necessary, haha.

People couldn't help but admire that such a thing was possible.

-But Sung JiHan seems even stronger now, right? The other species were busy running away, lol.

-For real, the difference is too great... Why is he so strong?

-He must have leveled up. He was probably around level 100 when he first started because he was promoted not long ago.

-He still had room to grow... Wow...

He overwhelmed the national team players even during the Gold era.

Now, Sung JiHan truly seemed to have no opponents on Earth.

His status had risen even higher due to the clear of the rehearsal game.

Even in the global BattleNet Federation, they couldn't act recklessly.

"Should we just leave Sung JiHan as he is? He completely disregarded the Federation and cleared the game!"

"To ignore the Federation's mediation and clear the game like this... Shouldn't we exclude him from the list of representative players?"

After the game clear, at the emergency meeting, the Federation members who were close to the People's Council argued for revoking Sung JiHan's player qualification.

"What are you talking about? Didn't we always just quietly agree without properly punishing the People's Council?"

"Punishment? We did it properly! Didn't the People's Council send the players who committed suicide due to personal deviations to the second team?"

"What kind of punishment is sending them to the second team..."

"We're about to start the Space League, and you want to revoke Sung JiHan's qualification? Are you serious?"

"The biased operation within a guild was the problem from the beginning. The Federation should congratulate the game clear and not make this an issue again."

Other BattleNet Federation members actively defended Sung JiHan.

A week later, the Space League will take place.

It doesn't make sense to exclude Sung JiHan, who will be the most powerful force at that time, because of this issue.

"Then, are they just revoking his national representative qualification...?"

"Didn't you see last time? Then there's someone who can say they won't participate in the Space League, right?"

"Exactly. The Space League is important right now, seriously...!"

"That's right. If they didn't cause any problems, it would have ended cleanly. Tsk tsk."

"Even though they offered a stat +7, he refused."

"The authority to host the rehearsal map was originally given to Sung JiHan. What's the problem with him clearing it on his own?"

The guild federation members who Sung JiHan took care of on Eve actively protected him.

"Like this rehearsal, there might be bonuses that can be obtained again...."

"There's no need to compete with Sung JiHan. We should become friends."

While the federation's punishment was being overturned by the opposition of the members,

"This is...."

Sung JiHan was checking the MVP reward for the rehearsal.

***

[MVP Reward: 'Space League Outstanding Membership Pass' is given.]

[Space League Outstanding Membership Pass]

Grade: SSS

-This is a Space League Outstanding Membership Pass with a 6-month expiration date.

-During the membership pass possession period, experience points and GP acquisition rate increase by 100 percent.

-For 6 months, you can choose between 'Spotlight' and 'Hideout.'

-If you possess the membership pass, there is a 30 percent chance of being excluded from the opponent team's ban list.

[Spotlight]

-The player advertises their outstanding membership status throughout the Battle.net. They can gain more attention from the Holy See and receive sponsorship from all over the universe.

[Hideout]

-As a qualified member, you can hide your information. You won't receive attention from the Holy See, and it will be difficult for the opposing team to obtain the member's information. It will take a long time to build a reputation on Battle.net.

Space League Premium Membership.

It wasn't an item that directly increased stats, and it only lasted for 6 months.

But the effect was significant.

What caught Sung JiHan's attention was not the functions like Spotlight or Hideout.

It was the exclusion from the ban list at the bottom line.

"To not get banned with a 30% chance. That's a tremendous effect."

When the Space League officially started, one of the options that emerged was the ban.

This function blocked certain opponents or specific maps.

Using the ban had its own restrictions.

In a 5-match, 3-win game, using it twice on a specific target was the limit.

But Sung JiHan, as an exceptional player, didn't know that limit.

He could endure powerful penalties and focus on ban cards.

"If I can avoid it with a 30% chance, it's a tremendous effect."

Even in the past, during the days of the nameless Sung JiHan, he was occasionally banned.

Now, stronger than before, it was obvious that ban cards would be focused on him.

If he could avoid that, this item would have a value higher than SSS grade.

It probably had an SSS rating because of the 6-month duration.

"Between Spotlight and Hideout, I should choose the latter."

The interest of the Holy See or the sponsorship from across the universe.

In the current situation, they held little value.

Rather, now he had to hide himself as much as possible from the other races in the Space League.

"Would you like to activate the Hideout function?"

"Once activated, it cannot be reversed."

"I'll activate it."

"The Hideout function will be applied."

"The user's information will not be revealed to external planets and will be excluded from the Holy See's support list."

He immediately activated the Hideout function and left the membership card in his inventory.

Smart.

"Uncle~! Dad's here! He's on the first floor now."

"Oh, really? You came quickly."

Yoon SeJin, the Sword King, was working on dungeon clearance operations in collaboration with the World Battle.net Federation.

He and his team were on vacation until the end of the year, coinciding with Christmas.

"Yeah, because Dad also has to participate in the Space League opening match."

The opening match, which would take place in a week.

There was no information publicly available about it, so the World Battle.net Federation couldn't gather the players for practice.

Instead, they only asked the players who were likely to participate in the opening match to be on standby a week in advance.

"Did you reserve the 7th floor?"

"Yeah, I told Ha Yeon unni to come too. So I thought about reserving the entire restaurant, but I only reserved one room."

The upscale restaurant on the 7th floor of Sword Palace.

It was a place where Yoon SeJin and his family would gather like an annual event during Christmas.

And to avoid any disturbances, they always reserved the entire restaurant...

"Why didn't you reserve the whole place?"

"We have to take pictures. Hehe, there have been a lot of rumors lately about you and Ha Yeon unni dating."

"What people say around us doesn't matter."

"She keeps coming back to me in her thoughts. She sighed and said it was annoying."

Sung JiHan chuckled.

Was the Reason Guild still holding onto feelings for Lee HaYeon?

"Then let's plan the picture today and contact Lee HaYeon directly."

"Right. We have to protect Ha Yeon unni. Her growth buff is insane, seriously."

"What level are you?"

"177. I think I'll reach Diamond next month!"

"You're really growing fast."

Sung JiHan couldn't help but be amazed at Yoon SeA's rapid growth.

Even though he himself was someone who dominated the battlefield of chaos, he had just reached level 190 today by clearing it.

"Anyway, it's a scam to play two games in a day."

At this rate, he thought he might really be surpassed in level.

Sung JiHan prepared to go down to the restaurant.

***

The restaurant 'Pierre' on the 7th floor of Sword Palace.

On Christmas Eve, the place where the Sword King always rented out the entire place, so no one could make a reservation.

But this year, the reservations were open.

"I guess he won't come this year."

"No, my cousin is the manager here and he hooked me up! I made a reservation!"

"Ah, if the Sword King made a reservation, he probably rented out the whole place. Did he only reserve one room?"

Near the restroom of the restaurant.

A group of middle-aged women were lingering around, looking towards the counter and having conversations with each other.

Even when the Sword King received nationwide criticism, they were his core fans.

After obtaining the information that the Sword King had reserved Pierre, they tried to make a reservation somehow to meet the Sword King in person.

"Um...sir, you should go in now..."

"Just wait a moment!"

Since all the rooms were private rooms, the group of Sword King fans waited eagerly in front of the restroom, looking towards the counter, waiting for the Sword King to arrive.

"Se...Sung JiHan!"

"Iha Yeon, the guild master is here too...!"

"Oh...and behind, it's the Sword...Sword King!"

When Sung JiHan and his group entered, they rushed towards them with shining eyes.

"Sword King!!"

"Sung JiHan-nim! We're fans! Please give us your autograph!"

The Sword King, not only the Sword King but also Sung JiHan, approached them with a very friendly face and asked for an autograph.

"I didn't know the Sword King would like me this much."

Sung JiHan chuckled slightly as he looked at the ajummas requesting autographs.

Thinking about what happened in his past life, the trembling Sword King fans.

The situation had completely changed since then, so the response had to be different.

"Here it is."

Quickly.

But he didn't feel like treating them better than necessary.

After giving them a quick autograph, Sung JiHan quickly led his group into the prepared room.

"I'm sorry. It's because of me."

"No, it's not your fault, brother-in-law. We didn't rent out the entire restaurant, so we have to endure it."

"Yeah...you're right. Did you take the picture you wanted?"

"Yeah, Dad. The employees took it too. Ha Yeon unnie was right next to me."

"That's good."

In the elevator, the Sword King heard a rough explanation.

He nodded and sat down.

"Did everything go well?"

"Are you talking about dungeon exploration? There were a lot of things... I cleared four dungeons, and there were many surprising incidents."

Before the appetizer came out.

The Sword King took a sip of water and took out a ring from his pocket.

"As much as the ring reacted, there was nothing that surprised me."

"The ring...reacted?"

Sung JiHan and his group were surprised.

If the ring reacted, could it be...

"Yeah...maybe JiAh is in North Korea."
