[National Representatives Warriors, all come out! Seong Jihans public declaration!]

[Experts on Seong Jihans statement, Impossible. is overwhelming He can beat some of them. Minority opinion.]

[Public petition surpasses 500,000 after Seong Jihans broadcast?! Petition demanding a confrontation newly established, surpassing 300,000]

[Anonymous National Representative Warrior, Not worth responding. Shows displeasure]

[Even a Gold ranker looks down on the National Representatives What is the direction for improvement?]

Seong Jihans provocation was very successful.

The news section of the portal site, which was full of articles related to the defeat in Taiwan, was completely turned over by Seong Jihans issue.

Wow, a Gold Rank is so arrogant. No matter what, how can he say he can beat the national representatives?

The national reps are just that bad If its annoying, they should just fight one round, right?

For real, just teach the Gold a lesson, it will be fine. Why are they avoiding?

Because they are scared

Honestly, I can think of a few people who would lose, agree?

Excluding Kim Dongwoo, all will lose

Welcome, Kim Dongwoo

Even Kim Dongwoo was really bad in Taiwan Jihan will KO him in one second.

Bang!

The leader of the National Representative Warriors, Kim Dongwoo, threw his tablet PC while reading the article comments.

Those crazy bastards Are they saying I would lose to a Gold Rank now?

Seong Jihan.

He knows hes strong.

Having watched the Top 100 matches, as a Warrior class, he even admired how he could do such a thing.

However, being strong is one thing.

This guy Hes going to be a national representative soon anyway. How can he disrespect the seniors like this?

How can he say that?

When he becomes a national representative, he will be on the same side, sharing the same fate, so how can he outright insult the seniors like this?

This cant go on like this.

At first, the way the National Representative Warriors decided to respond to this issue was to ignore it, saying it was not worth answering.

But seeing how public opinion is turning, if this goes on, they might end up being ridiculed as national representatives scared of a Gold Rank.

Kim Dongwoo entered the National Representative Warriors exclusive chat room.

Guys This cant go on like this. If we keep ignoring, it looks like well get a lot of hate comments.

See, I told you. Ignoring will only make us look bad, right? That arrogant guy needs to be taught a lesson

Yes, if this goes on, its going to be bad. We need to ask the management for a spot soon.

But bro We wont lose, right? That guy is strong

Jaeho is crazy, a national representative scared of a Gold Rank?

Then a video was uploaded in the chat room.

It was a highlight video of Seong Jihan clearing the Lone Bridge map.

I was so annoyed, I went to the channel to see how strong Gold is but hes kinda crazy;

This dumbass is scared of Gold after watching just one video!

Kim Dongwoo played the video while cursing out loud.

Seong Jihan, who single-handedly defeated Hojo, and while flying swiftly through the sky, brought down the monsters.

After watching the scene where the Warrior dominated the defense game alone,

Kim Dongwoo opened his mouth wide.

Uh

Hes kind of strong?

Kim Dongwoo recalled the Sword King, who has now gone to Japan, from Seong Jihans video.

Sword King Yoon Sejin, who would single-handedly disrupt the game in BattleNet, a sophisticated team game for national representatives.

This guy, like Sword King, showed potential to be an unconventional player.

Hes really strong, damn.

That must be a cheat. Does it make sense for a Warrior to act like that? Hes not even Sword King.

To be honest, Seong Jihan is strong. Its better to face him as soon as possible. That guy levels up really fast too.

You think its better to face him at level 70? Is that something a national representative should say?

You idiot, do you want to lose to a Gold Rank?

A chatroom for national representative warriors erupted in debate after watching Seong Jihans highlight video.

Kim Dongwoo frowned and quickly sent a message.

Lets face him soon. If he grows more, even I wont be able to defeat him.

While he was frustrated, his judgment remained calm.

Having risen to the leader of the Warrior squad through skill, Kim Dongwoo got chills watching Seong Jihans power.

He wasnt sure if he could confidently win against him now. But if they delayed and that guy leveled up even more? They were bound to lose.

If Dong-woo says so Okay.

Ill call the Management Department. You guys get ready too.

After seeing Seong Jihans highlight, the composed Kim Dongwoo called the Management Department immediately.

Its Kim Dongwoo. I have something to discuss regarding Seong Jihans video

His request was to arrange a match as soon as possible.

* * * * *

Tokyo, at Ito Shizurus mansion.

Theres some interesting news from Korea.

Ito Shizuru looked at the news with an intrigued expression.

The widespread provocation by Seong Jihan, a Gold player, was not only a hot topic in Korea but also drew a lot of attention on Japanese portal sites.

Did something go wrong in Seong Jihans brain? A Gold player provoking the national representatives?

Havent you seen the Top 100? Seong Jihan is strong.

Maybe the Korean team is just pathetic lol.

Whats Shizuru doing? Hurry up and charm him lol.

Tsk! I dont know why such an article is being posted in Japan.

Sword King, who was lying next to Shizuru, looked displeased.

Seeing Shizuru getting interested in the articles of his former brother-in-law was irritating.

What does Ryuhei think? Will Seong Jihan beat the national warrior representatives?

He will win.

Sword King immediately responded. Dislike is one thing, but his power analysis was impartial.

The national team warriors in Korea are pitiful. Theyre talentless and lazy. They will all lose to that guy.

Its the first time Ive heard you speak well of Seong Jihan.

Regardless of my personal feelings, his skills are outstanding. I understand why youre interested.

Thats good to hear. So, if Seong Jihan becomes a national representative and faces our country, you can you overpower him?

Hah! What a ridiculous question.

Sword King looked annoyed, as if asking if he could overpower someone was offensive.

I could sever his arms and legs in 10 seconds. Just thinking of him getting your attention makes me want to do that right now.

Although he originally had no special feelings for Seong Jihan, who was his former brother-in-law, ever since Shizuru, whom he dearly loved, showed interest in him, Seong Jihan became the most despised existence for Sword King.

Hehe. Well see.

As Shizuru clapped, a woman in a dark uniform emerged from outside the bedroom.

Her figure was similar to Akari, who had caused a stir in Korea before.

The ninja resembled Shizuru, a beauty of a pale complexion.

Did you call for me, main body?

She was an avatar that Ito Shizuru had made by modifying the returned Akari.

Why did you call her?

The match with Korea Is it next month?

Maybe. I think so.

Please take my clone to the national team match then. If you completely suppress Seong Jihan, shell likely enchant him properly this time.

You still have feelings for him?

Yes. I want to make Japan not just the number one in the Northeast Asia League but the number one in the World League.

Shizuru turned on the TV with a charming smile and switched it to channel 0.

There, a highlight of a past Top 100 match was being commented on by American commentators.

I want to hear Japanese, not English, on that channel. Id also prefer the GP exchange to be shown in yen, not dollars.

Youre quite the patriot.

Isnt that why Im with you?

All I need is you

Dont worry!

To the Sword King, who was hesitant out of jealousy,

Shizuru offered a solution.

To ease your concerns if I enchant Seong Jihan and bring him to Japan, Ill completely turn him into a woman.

What? Turn him into a woman?

Yes. You werent jealous of Akari, were you? Lets have him undergo a sex change surgery.

The Sword King was momentarily speechless at Shizurus suggestion to change Seong Jihans gender.

Heh fine.

He soon smiled contentedly.

The fact that Shizuru had thought of gender change for his sake was pleasing.

So, I should hope he becomes a national representative soon.

Yes, and Im also working on stirring up public opinion in Korea.

I hope it works out.

The Sword King sincerely hoped that the arrogant former brother-in-law would become a national representative.

* * * * *

[Mr. Seong Jihan, Mr. Kim Dongwoo, the leader of the national representative candidates, has proposed a match. He is preparing a stage to prove your skills. Would you like to participate?]

I will.

Seong Jihan, upon receiving the call, agreed even before Manager Park Yoonsik finished his sentence.

[We will proceed with the test at the Management Departments mock battleground in two days. Ah, and Mr. Kim Dongwoo suggested broadcasting this test live. What do you think about that?]

Live broadcast?

Even if he wins, its nothing big. If he loses, itd be embarrassing to lose as a Diamond Rank to a Gold Rank player. And they want to broadcast it live?

[They suggest broadcasting it live through the Management Departments channel and splitting the profits from the broadcast.]

I understand.

Though it seemed more like an attempt to publicly humiliate him, Seong Jihan graciously accepted the Management Departments proposal.

Wow, uncle Youre going up against a national representative?

Yeah, sooner than I thought.

Perhaps the rumors that the national representatives were afraid of a Gold Rank and avoiding a match had been bothersome, as the test date was set surprisingly quickly.

Wouldnt it be better to level up a bit more before that? Two days seem too short.

Its okay. I can win now.

Still! Isnt it a bit much to face him at level 70?

No. Im now at 72. And

Seong Jihan smiled confidently.

My Martial Power stat has reached 100.

Youve reached 100? Already? Is that even possible?

I did get some benefits from my title.

Strength 100, a result of combined title and guild bonuses.

Now, I can unify the three Dantians.

From 99 to 100.

Although its just one stat point difference, reaching a three-digit stat is not merely symbolic.

Compared to 99, the increased strength was palpably stronger.

This time

The unification of the three Dantians.

I can definitely succeed.

Seah, I think I need to train in the training room.

Ah To prepare for the test? Okay!

No, not for them. Its for the stat.

Seong Jihan then asked Yoon Seah,

So even if I dont come out of the training room, dont worry.

Got it!

Then, Ill finish quickly and be back.

With that, Seong Jihan entered the training room with a bright smile.
