Episode 214
A landscape like Mureungdowon where mountains and clouds meet from the sky. However, the male student in the priestly uniform did not admire the beautiful scenery.
Rather, he grinded his teeth with an expression that he would die.
“This goddamn… are you stuck here the day before the game?”
Doing something like this at the moment when every minute and every second is wasted before a team fight.
“Ah, I really can’t kill that bastard…”
Aakman was a faithful believer in Deus, the creator god, before joining Ireland’s Blinn Academy. In other words, a man whose priestly uniform is more important than his understanding of the improvised party members.
“Bitter… The priest’s uniform has become rags. What kind of clothes is this?”
Aakman sighed and looked down at his priestly uniform. The name of the priestly uniform worn by Aakman is
靑衣 (blue robe).
This was a priestly uniform given only to those who were chosen as the ‘Apostles of Blue’ among those from the church. And Aakman became the youngest ‘Apostle of Blue’ in history at the age of only 17 years old. Aakman was the person who best fit the word elite.
“hey! Are you ignoring me?”
He was by no means a man who would go through hardships climbing such a rugged mountain barefoot.
“Look at someone if they come before you hit them all over the head!”
Ackman, who reached the top, jumped up and down and shouted as if to kill, and the silver long-haired man sitting on the folding chair scratched his head.
“Ah you… hamm… I’m sorry. He seems to have fallen asleep for a while. But when will this end…”
The silver-haired long-haired man was still yawning hard, so it seemed that he was not awake. Of course, Aakman was even more incensed at that appearance.
“Aagh! Does it matter now? With all your pockets out, what are you doing here?”
“Did you come all the way here out of curiosity? …that’s interesting. I didn’t know you were so interested in me.”
“Haa…”
Aakman was very curious about Elan.
This man had a knack for scratching the inside of people no matter what he said.
“award. ceremony. enemy. eww. as. Did you come here because you were curious? Did you come to pick me up because I was diving before the game?”
Aakman sighed deeply again, put his hand on his forehead, and glared at Elan with narrowed eyes.
“Have you not seen that monster in Gaon? For Dian to win, we don’t have to eliminate even his teammates. yes?”
To those around him, Aakman was a legend. Thanks to that, the title given to praise him is ‘Aakman of nagging.’
“And why would we have an alliance with the EU kids? I’m trying to raise my odds even a little bit, but aren’t you ashamed to be playing here?”
Nagging, Aakman strode toward Elan. A fishing rod that can only be seen after the distance has narrowed.
“What is this… Why do you throw a fishing pole into a puddle where there are no fish? There’s nothing…”
Ackman, is this man crazy? Let’s look up with that expression. Elan said with a very serious face.
“…poppycock. It’s not the fish I’m catching. I am the owner of this place.”
“…master?”
Aakman thought as he looked at Elan, who was talking incomprehensible words. It’s clear that this guy is crazy. In the first place, he is a person who goes out to play in the mountains before the game, let alone practice.
‘…If it’s a person with normal hair, that’s even weirder.’
The moment Aakman glared at him with contempt. Elan suddenly shuddered.
“for a moment! Really… did you come? Apparently, the owner of this place liked you, not me.”
“So what are you talking about? Hurry up and analyze Gaon and prepare to win…”
“Akman. I came to this mountain because the only way for us to win is hidden in this mountain.”
Having said that, Elan stood up.
Aakman, who was a little over 160 in a huge body of over 190, was sore from raising his head.
“The only way to beat Gaon…?”
Aakman hurriedly looked around at Elan’s words. However, all you can see is the overwhelmingly huge mountain and distant clouds reaching the summit.
But Elan shouted with a confident face.
“okay! Yes! Ackman! Trust me and close your eyes!”
“Oh really…”
Aakman grumbled, but obediently closed his eyes.
“Oh, they are coming! okay. The owner of this place! They are coming towards us!”
“Ah, really crazy…”
Aakman couldn’t believe that he was hanging out with such a psycho on the top of the mountain while he was about to pray.
However, as Elan said, since I really closed my eyes, I felt like I could feel something. It transcended the dimension of ‘mana’. I couldn’t see the shape, but it was a kind of feeling.
“Can you feel only the arc! The existence of it that came to us? Its eyes watching over you!?”
Aakman, who closed his eyes at the sound of Elan’s voice, frowned.
‘I feel like I can feel something. I don’t think so…’
I felt the gaze as if something was looking at me. What came after that was an intense sense of intimidation.
“Ackman.”
Elan called Aakman.
“Open your eyes.”
Ackman opened his eyes at Elan’s low voice.
Hwaaak-!
The clouds parted with the strong wind, and sunlight illuminated the obscured landscape, revealing its daunting identity.
“…can you see it? Ackman?”
Elan’s calm voice.
Aakman, on the other hand, hurriedly stepped back with a stunned expression.
“It’s Kanina. You are the true owner of this mountain.”
glowing red eyes.
Shiny hair and pure white body.
“This…”
Aakman murmured in a weak voice as he looked at Kanina, whose body was as gigantic as a mountain.
“It’s just a really big rabbit….”
“Kya-kywa?”
Kanína
The identity of the secret weapon Elan, the Elementalist, was a rabbit spirit that was too gigantic.

National competition sub game.
On the day of the team match.
Italy and Greece, who became the first runners-up, won without a single dropout. A huge record despite the absence of Adela, the head of the party.
“…I’m glad it ended easily. For reference, the members of Romania predicted that the probability of airlifting the artifact was quite high. However, there is a political issue, so only the party leader has permission…”
“I heard that story twice before the game started. Sophia.”
When Sophia talks too much, Leon laughs and restrains him. Embarrassed, Sophia fiddled with her glasses.
“…Ah, did I explain to Adela-sama too? sorry.”
Sophia bowed her head.
Leon glanced at Adela. Even though Leon and Sofia came to announce the victory, Adela was indifferent and did not rejoice.
“…it’s okay.”
Always an expressionless face.
cold talk.
Leon felt that Adela’s attitude was difficult. However, he did have a vague idea of Adela’s personality.
‘That person is pure.’
really without any malice.
‘He’s not interested in us.’
He didn’t pay any attention to the party members. Maybe even the outcome of the battle wasn’t that important.
To put it bluntly, Leon and Sophia are just chess pieces to Adela. It was Adela who could really make the difference between winning and losing.
And that was also the reason why Adela was chosen as the head of the EU.
Swoop.
Leon sat across from Adela while maintaining a grin. At first, I thought it was a sense of distance because we weren’t close yet, but now I feel like I know it.
‘…this person is. Something’s broken.’
It wasn’t just a common joke.
Leon was good at reading his opponent’s emotions. It was not difficult for Leon to win favor with a person if he could know what he liked and what he disliked.
But Adela didn’t know.
He didn’t even tell me why he had acted on a whim and returned to Italy or why he had participated in the national competition.
Not to mention reading Adela’s emotions in the first place. It was impossible to even catch what he likes and dislikes.
‘So there’s no way I can figure out the symbol.’
According to Leon’s assessment of what he had been through so far, Adela had no such feelings. She just looked like an insensitive doll with no joy or sorrow.
‘She’s a great beauty. It would be nice to see him smiling.’
That would be impossible.
maybe it was natural
Everyone in Italy doesn’t know what happened to Aden’s granddaughter. It was rather strange that he was fine after suffering such a terrible distress.
‘How pitiful he is…’
Leon concluded his evaluation of Adela as a doll with no emotions. If it was Adela before the incident in Ruin Castle, that wasn’t a true story.
but.
“…Sophia. Who’s on the next team?”
“It will be caught on air soon. Korea’s Gaon Academy and…”
“Gaon?”
Adela, who was expressionless at the word Gaon, suddenly responded.
[Ah, the participating players are coming out! From left, Japanese players Sakura and Isshin! Siwoo Lee from Korea! And it’s Sumire, who is on the rise!]
Let’s show Gaon and other participating teams on the broadcast as well. Adela took a pose with her hands on her lap as if interested.
[But Sumire… what about the kid next to him?]
But the moment that shocked Leon more than anything else was the moment when Velvet was caught on the air.
“velvet!”
It was Adela singing Velvet in a high tone that was not normally heard.
Dig!
Adela abruptly got up from her seat. Leon looks at Adela in bewilderment, and Sophia turns her head around.
“It’s Miss Adela. What… are you doing?”
Let Leon speak with a surprised face at Adela’s sudden momentum. Adela’s eyes widened in delight, and she gestured proudly at Velvet’s face.
“That child… is my daughter!”
“Ah ah… that’s right.”
Adela’s reaction seeing it for the first time.
Sudden child coming out.
Among the two shocking news, where should Leon be surprised? I thought.
But what’s even more absurd.
“…Wait a moment.”
After saying that, Adela left the waiting room in a hurry.
[What happened!? Adela stormed into the stadium!]
Soon after, it was seen on the air.
[Ah, did you hug the child next to Sumire? What the hell is this?]
[Is it for the sake of the game? Adela left with her child!]
Kiki.
“Kyahang! Hello everyone! I am Velvet!”
It was the moment when he returned to the waiting room with his ‘self-proclaimed’ daughter.
