Martial God Regressed to Level 2 - Chapter 46

< The Warlord Returned to Level 2 Episode 46 >

August 21st.

Sung Ji-han helped Yoon Se-ah go to school as usual.

However, today I went to school at 6:00 a.m., earlier than usual, because tomorrow was Yoon Se-ah’s 18th birthday.

“Then you will be at the gift hall until midnight today?”

“huh! of course. Because I need to get a better gift.”

“Then I’ll pick you up then.”

“huh. uncle.”

After Yoon Se-ah rejected Kim Hee-soo’s proposal, she stopped riding her car on the way home.

Kim Hee-soo said it was okay, but Yoon Se-ah was reluctant because she felt like she was in debt.

“But I’m a little late today… … Are you okay?”

“Even if I’m curious about your gift, I must go.”

“Heh~ You kept telling me not to expect too much. Are you curious?”

“Of course you’re curious, aren’t you? I just said that because expectations that are too high lead to disappointment.”

“… … huh. I think I know what that means.”

Yoon Se-ah was silent for a while after that.

A face that looks complicated.

Seong Ji-han saw this and thought.

‘It seems that the expectations have disappeared a lot compared to last time… … .’

Not too long ago, Yoon Se-ah seemed to think that she would receive a good gift.

That’s also because no one has ever had a father with an SSS-level gift and a mother with an SS-level gift.

If you rank by the total number of parental gifts, Yoon Se-ah would be the best in the world.

No matter how random the gifts are, it was strange not to have expectations.

However, as a result of Seong Ji-han’s continued brainwashing under the guise of stories, the expectations seemed to have subsided.

instead.

“Still, I… … nice gift… … I want to receive it.”

A longing came to Yoon Se-ah.

expectations and longing.

The two are similar, but distinctly different.

Yoon Se-ah’s expectation is ‘Of course I will receive a good gift!’ If it was ‘, the longing was deeply implied in the earnestness of ‘I must receive a good gift!’

‘… … Although things have changed a lot since my last life.’

Due to the efforts of Sung Ji-han.

Compared to the past life, the situation is much better now.

It was because the image was drawn as the biggest victim rather than the daughter of a traitor.

However, if the situation is better for Yoon Se-ah just because it is better than in the first round, it was not.

After all, being abandoned by your father is the same.

It was an area Seong Ji-han could not do anything about soaring earnestness even if expectations were subdued.

“Sea.”

“huh?”

“Have you seen my uncle? Even F grade is worth it. So you can take anything.”

When Seong Ji-han spoke lightly to change the atmosphere, Yoon Se-ah slightly opened her face.

“what the. You didn’t show the rest of the status window.”

“curious? It’s the day before your birthday anyway, so should I show you now?”

“no… … That’s it for now. Today, I want to focus on the gift shop without thinking about anything else.”

“okay. Then I’ll show you when it’s over.”

“huh.”

When we arrived at the underground parking lot of Battle.net Academy, Yoon Se-ah got out of the car with a smile on her face

.

“thank you. uncle. I’ll go!”

Bright expression as usual.

Seong Ji-han, on the other hand, could only sigh secretly.

When the results come out tonight, it will be hard to see such a smiling face.

‘I have to come out a little early today.’

I have to organize it in advance before useless flying flies get entangled.

Seong Ji-han thought so and turned the steering wheel.

* * *

A gift box full of red jewels and gift gems embedded in the wall.

There, Yoon Se-ah was guided to a solitary room that was only allowed for students whose birthday was the day before.

sparkle. sparkle.

When Yoon Se-ah entered the room, the light from the gift gems around her flickered all at once.

A sign that the gift gem’s blessing is active.

Yoon Se-ah, who sat silently, recalled the events of yesterday.

-You still pretend to be friends with him?

A voice from inside the bathroom.

The voice belonged to someone Yoon Se-ah was familiar with.

That’s also a friend I’ve been with since the first year of the academy.

– Pretending to be friendly… … I’m working to get an interview.

– Ugh. are you a journalist But Yoon Se-ah, she pretended to be very expensive.

-therefore. I don’t know if the string fell off… … If you would like to interview me, I should be grateful.

Kim Hee-soo, who was his partner and best friend, was chewing on him.

– Anyway. I know you’re still doing well. because i can’t There’s nothing wrong with it.

– Oh, he is. Then what are you going to do when he gets the SSS rank?

-Then you can stick around again then. Maybe that’s why you haven’t picked it yet.

-You really hate him.

– I didn’t like it from the beginning. It’s a family with no roots. If it wasn’t for Battle.net, would we be breathing the same air as him?

Yoon Se-ah couldn’t get out of the bathroom because of the evil words of the person she thought was her best friend.

‘… … Just in case.’

There was an inexplicable feeling.

After returning to school, I felt that the attitude of my friends had become stiffer than usual, and I drew a line somewhere.

At the time, I thought it was considerate.

I thought it was caring for myself who was in a big trouble.

but.

‘After the Korea-Japan War… … I found out.’

After the Korean-Japanese War, in which the King of Swords trampled on Korea, the attitude of the friends became clearer.

Because I know for sure that the Sword King is not coming back to Korea.

Soon, the students at the academy began to regard Yoon Se-ah as someone to look down on.

The case of Kim Hee-soo was representative.

No matter how much he refused the interview, he persistently insisted on changing his mind and eventually tried to carry out his will.

An attitude that could not have been dreamed of when the Sword King was around.

‘I said I wouldn’t do an interview until the end… … .’

I didn’t even pretend to hear.

When I left the Gift Pavilion after midnight, I was sure to see Kim Hee-soo’s press reporters camped out.

Because Yoon Se-ah’s rejection, which is nothing now, did not change Kim Hee-soo’s will.

“Gifts are random… … .”

What Seong Ji-han had been mentioning lately, Yoon Se-ah quietly spat out.

I knew very well why he said this.

If the expectations are high, the disappointment will be great.

You must be worried about your nephew.

“But a nice gift for me… … I absolutely need it.”

It wasn’t because he wanted to see his best friends who had cursed at him approaching him pretending to be friends again.

It wasn’t because he was worried that if he didn’t receive the gift, there would be criticism and ridicule from those around him.

These little things were nothing compared to the scars he suffered when his father, whom he respected more than anyone else, abandoned him.

Yoon Se-ah thought that she had been working hard in her own position.

He served as the student council president at Battle.net Academy and kept first place in the entire school.

He also maintained good friendships with his school friends.

However, after my father left the country, these efforts became useless.

His life was completely subordinated to the Sword King.

It doesn’t matter if you’ve lived as an honor student or as a brat.

‘With my power… … I want to stand on my own.’

In fact, if you just live, it was enough for the current situation.

Isn’t the money received from the King of Swords a huge amount that ordinary people cannot collect even if they spend their entire lives?

But for her, true independence.

It started with getting rid of the label of ‘the daughter of the sword king and a victim’.

‘To do so… … .’

ability was needed.

okay.

For showing overwhelming ability in the league like my uncle.

I wanted to live as a ‘prospect of Battle.net’ rather than a ‘daughter abandoned by the sword king’.

‘To do so, a good gift must be… … !’

Yoon Se-ah earnestly hoped.

I want to be like my uncle!

It was then.

Flash-! Flash-!

Gradually, the light began to intensify in the sparkling Gift Gems.

The change of this gift gem was completely different from the usual blessing.

‘This… … !’

There was a story I heard from academy seniors.

It is said that the stronger the light emitted from the gift gem, the higher the chance of obtaining a good gift.

‘A senior who received an S grade… … I didn’t say it was this shiny.’

According to the experience that senior told me, about half of the Gift Gems in the solitary room emitted a lot of light.

what do you mean now

Not half, but almost all Gift Gems were shining.

‘… … Can I look forward to it?’

Yoon Se-ah felt that the anticipation she had been trying to bury until now rose again.

* * *

A coffee shop in Gangnam.

Kim Hee-soo, who was talking with her cousin, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, suddenly checked the time.

9 o’clock in the evening.

Now was the time to get ready.

“brother. Wait a minute~ Call me.”

“uh. sun.”

Kim Hee-soo picked up the phone right away.

“Reporter Kim? It is me.”

[yes. Lady.]

“Are the preparations for the SeAH interview that I mentioned the other day going well?”

[An interview with Yoon Se-ah? Preparations are over, but… … really. do you say do it? How do you know what gift you will receive?]

“Ah. I am best friends with him. Everything was allowed.”

Despite Yoon Se-ah’s repeated refusal, Kim Hee-soo calmly said that.

[But at this time… … Outsiders are not allowed to enter, right?]

“Of course you should go with me.”

[ah. If so, where should we go?]

When Kim Hee-soo called the name of the cafe, Reporter Kim said he knew and added a word.

[But I’m worried that Seong Ji-han will interfere again.]

“Seong Ji-han? Why is that person?”

[When I went to the Sword Palace to cover the last Liberation Day, he overpowered our reporters. I don’t know what kind of power it is, but it seems to make my body freeze… … .]

“Um… … .”

[I’ll go there first, lady.]

“Yes. Reporter Kim.”

when the call is over

Kim Hee-soo’s cousin, Kim In-sik, made an interesting expression.

“What interview are you doing at this time?”

“brother. Do you know Yoon Se-ah?”

“Yoon Se-ah? Oh, the sword king’s daughter? The other day, when I asked for a blind date, I asked where you were looking.”

“uh. He’s right.”

“okay… … ?”

Kim In-sik showed interest in Kim Hee-soo, who became calmer than last time.

“Does he have a boyfriend?”

“You’ve never been in a relationship before?”

“really? With that face?”

“You are so good. I guess there was no man who caught my eye.”

“How am I?”

Kim Hee-soo smiled at Kim In-sik.

After seeing the photos I took with my friends on social media, I seemed to be pretty attached to it.

“brother? It was only when Se-ah was the daughter of the sword king that the grades didn’t match, but… … I miss my brother now. Oppa is doing well these days.”

Kim In-sik, who received a grade A gift and grew up.

He was now level 50 and was a semi-professional preparing for the promotion match in Silver.

“Your face is the best when you’re dating.”

“Ugh. Don’t tell me you’re falling out and getting married. He is almost an orphan.”

“huh? Do you have an uncle?”

“So ‘almost’ an orphan.”

“Don’t do that to your brother’s girlfriend.”

“what. Do you like him that much?”

“You are pretty.”

After all, is it true that men are pretty?

Kim Hee-soo shook his head excitedly and said as if passing by.

“Then oppa, would you like to come with me for the interview?”

“oh. really?”

“huh. Seong Ji-han might ruin the interview, so just stop it then.”

Then, Kim In-shik narrowed his eyes.

“… … child. I didn’t even contact you, but suddenly I saw your face. Did you call me for this?”

“no way. What are you talking about? I just answered the phone and heard about the sacred story.”

“hmm. Suspicious… … .”

“Did my brother really be scared? To Bronze?”

“under… … Are you crazy? What about Bronze… … Show me the picture of Ya Se-ah again.”

Let Kim Hee-soo show the picture.

Kim In-shik scratched his head and said.

“Hey really… … sleepy is pretty Add a condition and give me a number. Then I will go.”

“number? okay. I’ll give it to you after the interview.”

“Okay, okay. Then, I need to set my hair.”

Kim In-sik leaves in a hurry.

Seeing that, Kim Hee-soo grinned.

‘Enough.’

Even if Seong Ji-han counts, he can’t beat a level 50 warrior.
