Chapter 561

'Why is she here?'

Yoon Seah, who voluntarily enjoyed an unemployed life in the penthouse when Seong Jihan was sentenced to record erasure.

She had cut ties with the people of the Daegi Guild, so Seong Jihan was puzzled why she was here.

But he didn't show it outwardly.

Anyway, that question...

"W-What brings you here?"

Yoon Sejin would solve it for him.

And...

"I started working part-time here."

"Ah. Part-time...? Why would you do such a thing... Are you short on pocket money?"

"What do you mean short on pocket money. I just came out because I was bored staying at home."

Yoon Seah answered his question lightly.

'Part-time because she's bored... She did look like she had nothing to do.'

Every time he went up to the upper floor, Yoon Seah was rolling around on the sofa with a bored expression.

She looked bored and had nothing to do.

But it was just that she has no immediate work.

Later, as the owner of the Arena, she would have plenty to handle, so how did she have time for part-time work?

As Seong Jihan was thinking this...

"Dad, why did you ask Mr. Kim Jihun earlier if he went to the penthouse?"

"Ah. That's..."

"You're not still hung up on that hair you found on the floor last time, are you?"

"A-Ahem..."

As Yoon Sejin cleared his throat and averted his gaze, Yoon Seah sighed and came to Kim Jihun, bowing her head.

"I'm sorry. It seems my father is making an unreasonable misunderstanding..."

"Ah, it's fine. I hope this opportunity clears up any misunderstandings."

"Thank you for saying that. Ah, were you planning to use the connector room?"

"Yes, I was..."

As Kim Jihun nodded, Yoon Seah smiled and opened the door to the connector room.

"From now on, I'll be supporting Mr. Kim Jihun's various tasks. I'm Yoon Seah. Please take care of me~"

"No. What...? You'll be supporting this person...?"

"Yes."

Was it like a secretary job?

Well, until now, the guild master had been handling a lot of things, but she couldn't keep doing that forever.

But...

'For someone as important as Kim Jihun, it doesn't seem likely they'd assign a part-timer for support. Strange.'

Yoon Seah was just a part-time employee.

It was hard to understand entrusting the support of Kim Jihun, who could be considered the guild's most important personnel, to a newly hired rookie.

In fact, even if you knew the guild's circumstances, Kim Jihun would know better.

How would Yoon Seah, who joined the guild just days ago, know well?

'I should ask later how this came about.'

Seong Jihan thought as he looked at Yoon Seah.

"Then we'll be going in."

She winked and guided Kim Jihun to his dedicated connector seat.

"...Huh."

And...

Seeing his daughter smiling and guiding the male half-elf like that, Yoon Sejin...

Let out a dejected laugh.

Until Kim Jihun came, if anyone had to pick the most critical player in the guild, it would have been the Sword King Yoon Sejin.

But even he had no memory of receiving such care.

Yet that guy, even if he became a male half-elf, how could the guild care for him this much?

'...It's a shame I must give up the Twin Sword Mastery to become a half-elf male. If not for that, I would have tried the aptitude test.'

If only the SSS-grade gift, 'Twin Sword Mastery', wasn't being replaced.

Yoon Sejin seriously considered challenging the aptitude test.

But to give up the gift that brought him to the position of Sword King...

Becoming a male half-elf was clearly nonsensical.

'Right... Let's stop these idle thoughts.'

Yoon Sejin quelled his impulse while looking at the connector room door the two had entered.

Yes.

Why would the #1 warrior start over to become a half-elf?

Just as Yoon Sejin was trying to let go of his lingering attachment...

[The Constellation 'Green Administrator' examines the human players possessing SSS-grade gifts...]

Ziiing...

A green message window appeared before his eyes.

['Green Administrator' bestows a special blessing on players with SSS-grade gifts.]

[A 'Gift' slot increases by 1.]

[Only 'Cross-Species Affinity' gifts can be equipped in the increased slot.]

"...This is."

No, he just made up his mind.

How could the timing be like this?

Yoon Sejin blinked his eyes a few times, wondering if he was seeing things, but...

[Do you want to equip an additional Cross-Species Affinity gift?]

As the message kept appearing, he realized this was reality.

"...I'll equip it."

When the Constellation had laid out the path like this, how could he not?

Yoon Sejin raised the corners of his mouth and responded to the message.

* * *

[You have achieved 1st place in the Invade Game.]

[Your level increases by 5.]

After Kim Jihun easily finished the game.

Viewers' comments appeared in his BattleTube chat window.

-There are fewer people today.

-That's because many male half-elves are streaming on BattleTube. lol

-We saw them as competing teams in today's game too.

-Still, there's definitely a control gap compared to Kim Jihun.

-For real, he seems to have the best combat sense among male half-elves.

-That won't last much longer lol, now that male half-elves will be pouring out.

'The chat atmosphere has certainly changed since the gift bestowal.'

Seong Jihan thought this as he watched the chat on Kim Jihun's BattleTube.

In the past, when few male half-elves streamed on BattleTube, the prevailing sentiment was gratitude just for streaming.

Now, comments frequently suggested he'd be ruined next month by newcomers.

'People didn't show it much, but they've been quite jealous of male half-elves.'

Well, of course.

Among 7 billion people, only an extremely small minority of males...

Were chosen almost as if by random.

Until now, it wasn't very apparent because the Colonial Government treated male half-elves specially and managed them.

In reality, this was quite common in people's true feelings.

"It'll be interesting when competitors increase. Then I'll see you again at this time tomorrow."

Beep.

After Seong Jihan said that and turned off the BattleTube.

"Good work~"

Outside the connector, Yoon Seah greeted him with a smile.

"Were you waiting? You didn't have to..."

"This is my job, you know~"

Yoon Seah replied energetically.

The elf guard escorting Seong Jihan silently watched her.

'She's quiet with Seah.'

Though her main job was surveillance.

Still, the elf guard often blocked people approaching Kim Jihun from outside.

But with Yoon Seah, maybe because she was a guild employee.

She didn't interfere no matter how close she got.

"Now that you've finished the game, are you heading home?"

"I should."

As Kim Jihun answered and was about to leave.

"Ah."

He ran into Lee Hayeon entering the connector room.

"Oh. You're... already receiving support."

Lee Hayeon looked back and forth between Yoon Seah behind Kim Jihun.

"Mr. Kim Jihun, I have something I couldn't say earlier, could you come to the Guild Master's office? Seah, you can go home."

[Translator - Asura]

[Proofreader - Gun]

"Understood~"

She called him back to the Guild Master's office.

With Yoon Seah gone, Lee Hayeon entered the Guild Master's office and...

"You must have been surprised about Yoon Seah? I couldn't tell you in advance because I didn't know she'd start work so soon."

She bowed her head apologetically.

"It was surprising because it was so sudden. Besides, I don't really need support. I have the elf guard too."

"Well..."

Lee Hayeon glanced towards the elf guard, then continued.

"Actually, Seah is also dispatched from the Colonial Government."

"...From the Colonial Government?"

"Yes. We received an official document from the Colonial Government to send Yoon Seah as Mr. Kim Jihun's assigned person... I was going to introduce her after her training was complete, but I didn't expect her to start support work like that first."

The Colonial Government dispatched Yoon Seah.

What was this about now?

'I'll have to ask her what's going on.'

Seong Jihan thought this and nodded.

"If it's from the Colonial Government, it can't be helped. Did the guard know about this, too?"

"Yes. She's a person with connections to the Colonial Government, especially the Governor."

"I-I see... Connections with the Governor, I guess I should call her Ms. Yoon Seah from tomorrow."

On the surface, she was disguised as a part-timer, but in reality, a secret agent connected to the Governor.

At this point, she was a suspicious figure to anyone.

'If it wasn't Seah, I would have used the sacred flame right away.'

He needed to ask her What was going on.

"I understand. I should be careful with her, too."

"Yes... I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance."

"It's fine. Then I'll be going."

Seong Jihan left the Guild Master's office, left Kim Jihun's body, and went up to the penthouse.

There, Yoon Seah was waiting for Seong Jihan.

"You're here?"

"Yeah. What's with the sudden support?"

"Ah. The Governor asked me to check Kim Jihun's body for void."

"The void?"

"Yeah. Apparently Kim Jihun can be chosen by the cosmic tree's sword? So there was talk of growing him quickly."

The blue sword of Kim Jihun, which the cosmic tree Yggdrasil decided to name 'Seong Jihan'.

It seems her subordinate, the Governor, was working hard for this.

"But what does that have to do with coming to support?"

"Well, I was bored just staying at home... And when Kim Jihun is at the guild, I need to take care of him so I can help if Ariel fails to control him."

"Ah. That's good."

"Yeah. So when Kim Jihun was in the connector earlier, I checked for void once. It seems okay to put more in?"

Seong Jihan nodded at those words.

"Give him void at the next Hall of Swords. I'll start growing the blue sword too."

"Trying to speed up?"

"Yeah. By the way, you and sis didn't receive support from Yggdrasil, right?"

"Of course not. We belong to the void. But why?"

"There's a trap in the Cross-Species Affinity bestowal."

Then Seong Jihan informed her that Cross-Species Affinity would turn into life force and belong to Yggdrasil after a year.

Yoon Seah's eyes widened.

"Oh no... That's a big problem then? Dad seemed to have it..."

"Yeah. So before that, we need to complete the blue sword and cut down Yggdrasil."

"Got it. I'll help with all my strength too. Ah. Dad's not thinking of becoming a male half-elf, is he...?"

"No way."

No matter what, would he throw away an SSS-grade gift to start over as a male half-elf?

Not knowing Yggdrasil's new sponsorship details, the two could only think that way.

"Then, I'm off to work."

"Invading the Alliance?"

"Yeah. I need to go through the B-grade planets before blue swords are mass-produced."

"Okay. Take care."

Whoosh...

A red portal opened.

Seong Jihan moved towards the coordinates of a B-grade planet.

'A-grade certainly had stronger defenses.'

A-grade detected Seong Jihan as soon as he moved.

B wasn't fortified to that extent.

Seong Jihan entered the atmosphere and looked for where the World Tree was.

'Hmm. Defense forces with Yoon Seah's face are heavily deployed again.'

Was it easier to change faces than supply blue swords, so they transformed everyone like that?

'I have to clear out B-grade. Let's just eliminate them now.'

Eternity used to grow Gilgamesh's fragment.

To charge Stat Red, B-grade definitely needed to be cleared out.

It wouldn't do to be hindered by Yoon Seah's face here, losing the supply source to charge more abilities.

As Seong Jihan decided to switch to offense now.

[Is there any need to go down to see faces?]

'Huh?'

[Just bombard from long range. They don't seem to have blue swords either.]

The Red Administrator sent him a thought.

'That's true.'

If it were a high elf unit equipped with blue swords, they might be able to block long-range bombardment.

But those who only had their faces transformed without swords couldn't withstand the Red Administrator's power.

Seong Jihan nodded and then...

Infinite Annihilation God

Heavenly Dragon Thunder Fire

Dragon Thunder

He poured red lightning towards the area near the World Tree.

Crackle...!

The elves, faces and all, instantly burned and collapsed under his bombardment.

'Easy.'

After easily annihilating the high elves from extremely long range, Seong Jihan casually absorbed the B-grade World Tree.

['B-grade World Tree' is absorbed into the Hell.]

[Due to Blue, the absorption efficiency of the World Tree is greatly reduced.]

[Stat Red increases by 250.]

'I need to replenish all the stats I lost today.'

Before blue swords were widely distributed to them.

He should clear out more than half of the B-grade planets listed on the bulletin board.

'It's going to be a busy day.'

He smiled slightly and opened another portal.

And when the first day of the next month came...

'There's hardly anywhere left to go now...'

Most of the B-grade planets on the list had been destroyed by Seong Jihan.
