Neurus ambassador.
Hwangmyeong Groups brand identity core model.
I didnt agree to either of those, but the two clan heads began to argue with each other.
Hwangmyeong Groups brand identity core model? You can do that yourself, Hwangho.
This body is already at the center of Hwangmyeong Group, so I dont need to model it myself. Neuru already has a lot of ambassadors, and youre too greedy if you want Jo Euishin too.
Well, thats true. Hwangho is doing everything after all.
Yes, I am in control of the Hwangmyeong Group.
Hwang Jiho replied furiously, and it seems like Seodol was convinced.
The fact that Hwang Jiho controls the Hwangmyeong Group is something that royal lineage clans acknowledge.
Though it doesnt look like Seodol has given up yet.
We have a model whose contract will expire next season. Theres no player who uses black energy waves anyway, so well have to pick a new color.
Black energy wave users are rare, but its not like there arent any. It looks like you were already rejected by Jo Euishin, so why are you so desperate? Its pathetic.
Hwang Jiho was right.
Indeed, Seodol was the epitome of pathetic as he also rushed to give Hong Gyubin his order before.
Come to think of it, Seodol and Kwon Jein have a connection too.
Ive been recommended some candidates, but I dont like them. And even if its the same shade of black, its completely different.
Seodol said so as he floated a hologram.
It showed a chart of the color black, having subtle differences in hue that only designers could see.
It all looks the same though
Though everyone seemed to disagree with me.
It would be a problem if there are that many candidates.
Jein always takes a long time to choose a dress. Even similar-looking dresses look completely different when worn.
Following Mok Wooram and Jared Lee, Hwang Jiho nodded too.
He agreed, but he still didnt like Seodols suggestion.
The color of energy waves are subtly different. How imprudent. Its not like it would take a hundred years to find the right color and the right player.
Its not imprudent. Jo Euishins is here, sir.
Seodol pointed to one of the numerous black colors on the chart.
The check box next to the black was painted in color, and I think its the shade that he liked.
No, wait.
Did Seodol use honorifics just now?
Seodols eyes fixed on me doubled my reluctance.
Theres black-like ink, and theres black-like blackwood. But what I want is black like the night sky. Thats the color of Jo Euishins energy waves.
The color of the night sky. That I agree with.
Right? Neurus next seasons main concept is the night sky. If Jo Euishin becomes Neurus ambassador, we will release a limited set of accessories with the motif of the Namless Supernova only in Korea.
Thats nice. Looking at the accessory catalog, I think itll match Eungwang Highs uniform.
The clan heads suddenly seemed to agree with each other.
Seodols plan seems fairly specific.
I asked him for a favor, and I want to maintain a good relationship in the future as much as possible, putting me in a difficult position to refuse.
I thought Seodol accepted my favor because he wanted to take revenge on the OTK
It looks like he accepted to make it easier to convince me to accept Neurus ambassadorship.
There was nothing for me to gain from being in the spotlight, and I had incredibly huge amounts of work to be done.
I had no time to be Neurus ambassador or Hwangmyeong Groups core model.
Depending on the scenario, having that status might make things easier though.
Joo Soohyuk, PMHs title hero.
With his performance these days, hell become a star player who will succeed Yeom Junyeol.
On top of that, hes the child of the Joo-Oh Group.
There is a scenario that would stem from Joo Soohyuks celebrity status, and that reputation may be needed for me to enter the place where that scenario would take place.
There wont be any place where I cant enter with Hwang Jihos help, but standing out at this point could help me do it on my own.
Worst-case scenario, I would have to borrow Yeom Junyeols like at the Hwanmong Auction. I want to avoid that.
The answer didnt come up in the end.
Both sides had pros and cons, so I just refused at first.
Though Seodols persistence made me think about it again.
Its an attractive offer, but Jo Euishin isnt saying yes. Give up, no, put it on hold.
Hwang Jiho encouraged Seodol and wrapped up the conversation.
Why did he argue with him at first if hes going to say that?
Hwang Jiho seemed to have seen through the fact that I was worried about whether to accept or not.
Seodol acted pathetically for a few more seconds, but Hwang Jiho forcefully shut him up.
Did you forget why were here today? Get it together. Do you want to wait until your ears completely get crushed and you cant listen to night whispers?
Seodols face changed when Hwang Jiho brought up how the Oath of the Three Knights eradicated his mice.
His excited formal language finally dropped.
Call me anytime you change your mind, Jo Euishin.
I felt relieved at the drop of honorifics.
Jared Lee looked relieved too.
Now lets talk.
At Hwang Jihos signal, the Tiger Clan subordinates dragged several huge carriers in.
Inside them were the attackers from the theme park.
After checking their conditions by flowing energy waves into the carriers, the tigers carefully unlocked the lock.
The carriers door opened and the crumpled blonde attackers were revealed, their joints and bones twisted in awkward directions.
I cant believe theyre still alive.
Upon confirming that the attackers were still breathing, Mok Wooram looked surprised.
Hwang Jiho, who was looking inside the carriers with a cold face, asked.
And the bastards with sunglasses?
They came to their senses so we crushed them by force and put them inside a boundary. Theyre being handled by the chief sorcerer.
Those who werent using Jared Lees face seem to be superior to those here.
Wait, but Jukho is in charge of this one too?
Maybe her student, Kim Yuri, volunteered to help as well.
Theyre losing their minds. Theyre too weak
Hwang Jiho stared at Jared Lee as he scrutinized the blond attackers.
Jared Lees face was sharp.
They looked just like Jared when he was young.
From his reaction, Jared Lee seemed to know something.
I can feel it as I look slowly up close. Its close to a human being, but I cant call them that.
The atmosphere sank heavily at Hwang Jihos words.
It was bizarre that the same-looking attackers were stuck in their carriers.
I felt chills when Hwang Jiho concluded that they cant be called humans.
On the other hand, Seodol, who showed little interest in the blonde attackers, paid closer attention to Hwang Jihos words.
As if he didnt want to touch them, he used rat-colored energy waves to examine the bodies.
They look like Jared Lee from when he was young, but it doesnt look like that on the inside.
The internal structure of their bodies and their energy waves arent like humans.
So are they royal lineage or descendants?
No way. They wouldnt dare engage with us if they were.
Seodol replied irritably to Mok Woorams question.
Mok Wooram immediately bowed and apologized.
It was only after receiving a long apology did he look relieved of his sudden irritation.
Why was he unreasonably annoyed with my classmate?
Hwang Jiho stopped him too, but Seodol seemed greatly dissatisfied with how Mok Wooram suggested that the attackers could be of royal lineage.
So theyre not humans, royal lineage, or descendants. No matter what they are, theyre a pain. Then that means
The answer came up when I recalled the beings who made up this land after the occurrence of otherworldly conflict.
These are enemies.
Enemy, a creature that appears between otherworld gaps and attacks humans.
They usually take the form of hideous and bizarre monsters.
However, there were also enemies that looked human.
The government and the association went all out to make sure that the term to be used to refer to creatures from otherworlds be enemies instead of monsters to make sure people wont let their guard down on enemies that dont look like monsters.
The one who tamed these enemies mustve made them look more human.
There was an enemy tamer among the Oath of the Three Knights who attacked.
Being beside humans made us overlook that those things could be enemies.
Yes, those are enemies.
Jared Lee spoke first.
I didnt expect these things to be alive. I killed them all before I left the OTK.
Jared Lees voice was dreary.
But here are the enemies that you couldnt kill. Your laxity almost ruined the picnic.
Hwang Jiho spoke like the head of the Tiger Clan.
Sadly, however, the topic was a school picnic, and he didnt look so dignified with his . shirt on.
Enemies who looked like you attacked a student of our school in my territory. Now tell me the origin.
Since Jared Lee owed his life, he had no choice but to speak.
It looks like I have to tell you why I was scouted by the Oath of the Three Knights. I dont have an outstanding skill that distinguishes me from others, but my overall ability is fairly high and my physical ability and attack skills are useful. You could say Im a well-balanced type.
In other words, a good type to use as a standard.
Yes. So they started to model me and made enemies. The Knight of the Water Shadows light skill gave substance to them.
Jared Lees explanation made Hwang Jiho question.
Strange. How can a humans light skill make such a sophisticated enemy?
Because its not just their power alone.
Did a superior being lend them power? I guess its possible if its a superior being related to revenge.
Jared Lee shook his head.
They used Englands earth power*.
(T/N: Hi everyone! Here to come in with a major (sort of) change. What we refer to as intelligence (ji-ryeok) for the past few hundred chapters should have been earth power (ji = earth, ryeok = power). I translated it as intelligence because ji also means intellect. Now its become more obvious that the correct translation should be Earth since they draw their powers from the ground and not just the myths. I apologize for this long-overdue correction. Thank you, and happy reading!)
