The Martial God who Regressed Back to Level 2 Novel

Chapter 171

In front of Sword Palace.

There, journalists were taking photos.

"It's time to come back now...."

"Even if Sung JiHan tries to block us, we must take photos no matter what."

"Paralysis? It's actually better if we get paralyzed. We can say we experienced paralysis from Sung JiHan and get some free meals from the journalists."

"That's right, Reporter Kim. If I get paralyzed, please take a verification shot for me."

They only knew about the force Sung JiHan used to control the space, but they didn't know about the existence of spirits.

The journalists were disgusted every time their bodies were paralyzed by the force.

But since Sung JiHan became a national representative, his popularity skyrocketed, and now it became an honor to be paralyzed by him.

Sigh.

And soon, a huge limousine entered Sword Palace.

"It's the Association's vehicle!"

Click. Click. Click.

The journalists crowded around the vehicle.

"We will pass through."

Sung JiHan reached out his hand as he came out of the car.

Like Moses parting the Red Sea, the journalists' bodies floated up and created a path on both sides.

This was the method Sung JiHan commonly used when the coverage became too intense.

But it was not just that. The journalists' reactions were strange.

It was normal for them to frown or be scared before their bodies stiffened.

But now, they were smiling and happy.

And then.

"Senior, please take a photo of me next time!"

Click. Click.

The junior journalists even took photos of the paralyzed journalists.

Swoosh.

And behind Sung JiHan, Yoon Sejin, the Sword King, got out of the car.

The sound of flashes from all directions became faster.

"Yoon Sejin! Are you completely back in Korea now?"

"Do you have any intention of returning to the Korean national team?"

"How are your eyes?"

"The Japanese BattleNet Association has suggested revoking your player qualification, claiming that you committed murder! What do you think about that?"

Many other questions were thrown at him.

But Yoon Sejin didn't answer any of the other questions.

Only.

"Murder charge...."

As he walked slowly along the path Sung JiHan created, he opened his mouth towards the journalists.

"I... couldn't kill Ito Shizuru."

"What...!?"

"Ito Shizuru didn't die?"

"Yes. I returned because it was impossible to chase her."

"The Japanese Prime Minister said that the charm was broken and Ito Shizuru died...."

"She broke the charm to escape."

With a serious tone, Yoon Sejin recalled the events from earlier while telling a different story.

* * *

Inside the airplane heading from Jeju Island to Gimpo Airport.

Park Yoon-sik, the manager in charge of Sung JiHan, came down to Jeju Island and was telling them about the recent situation.

"The Japanese BattleNet Association is pushing for the revocation of player qualifications?"

"Yes, the Korean representative of the Management Bureau is strongly arguing that it's absurd, but public opinion is not positive. Especially the countries in the Northeast Asia League are strongly arguing that all countries in the league should have their player qualifications revoked...."

"It must be an opportunity."

Yoon Sejin slowly opened his mouth.

He hadn't shaved during the long chase, so his beard was long and stretched out.

But when he finally looked at his own eyes that he had stabbed, they were all healed wounds.

After eating the leaf of the World Tree that Sung JiHan handed over, he regained all the scars that were initially gruesome.

Of course, his eyesight hadn't returned yet.

"...I killed her to save myself. It's true that I committed murder. I can't avoid punishment."

No matter how many enemies the player kills in the game,

committing murder in reality is a completely different problem.

Especially for Yoon Se-jin, who emphasized the need for players to abide by laws and regulations from the early days of Battle.net.

After admitting that he had committed murder, he was accepting the fact that he would be punished.

"It's the Korean national team, so there shouldn't be any problems as long as we have the brother-in-law. Even when I was fascinated, I was worried that we wouldn't win next year. Whether I'm there or not, I think the Korean national team will sail..."

This is how Yoon Se-jin, who has already assumed that he will not become a national team player,

"Ah, no! I killed Shizuru...! Wouldn't that be enough?"

"Well..."

"I will take responsibility for the murder. Even though I couldn't help in Japan... I want to do my part like this."

Akari declared her determination, saying that she would take the place of the murder with a firm expression,

feeling the atmosphere inside the plane that had become unexpectedly tense.

Sung JiHan raised his head in surprise.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Ito Shizuru isn't dead, right?"

"...What?"

"Haah, that woman. She's really annoying. She even broke free from the Prime Minister's brainwashing and disappeared. After searching all the way to the southern sea of Japan, she finally stopped stalking and returned home..."

Sung JiHan put his fingers in his pockets and glanced around at the people nearby.

Yoon Se-jin and Akari.

And, he stared intently at Manager Park Yoon-sik.

"We failed. We lost track of Ito Shizuru. Manager Park Yoon-sik, do you understand?"

Manager Park Yoon-sik blinked his eyes and quickly responded, realizing from Sung JiHan's words.

"That, that's right! Ah, man. Ito Shizuru, she's tough, tough! It's so regrettable. We should have completely uprooted her....!"

"Uh... Are you saying she's 'missing'?"

"Missing? Akari, what are you talking about? She's saying she's missing. Your Korean is still not very good."

"Oh! I-I'm sorry...."

When Sung JiHan gave her a hint, Akari immediately understood.

Yoon Sejin looked at them with disbelief.

"Jihan... Do you think that will work?"

"They forced us into a corner first, so if we respond in the same way, shouldn't it work?"

Forcing it with force.

Sung JiHan had plenty of experience with dirty plays.

"And we have a card to play."

"A card...?"

"The Space League will start soon, in just a little while."

"That's right."

The long tutorial was coming to an end.

And now, there was less than two months until the official start of the Space League season.

"If Ito Shizuru doesn't die and they continue to force us, we'll send them a boycott notice."

"You mean... you won't participate in the Space League?"

Park Yoonsik's eyes widened.

The dream stage that all players longed for, the Space League.

To boycott it from the player's side...

"Is it reasonable for a player who has been expelled from the national team to be selected for the Space League? According to their argument, it's aiding and abetting murder, so they should reflect on themselves."

"Well, what will you do if they really accept you from that side...?"

"I hope it doesn't come to that. Let's see how big the gap is when we play without the world's top two warriors."

Sung JiHan recalled the events from the opening match of the previous life's Space League.

The overwhelming performance of the Sword King in the opening match series.

If he hadn't been there, the battle against the World Federation would have ended in a disappointing 3 consecutive losses.

If the side that won the match at that time was Earth, the MVP would have undoubtedly been the Sword King.

"The one who is disappointed should be clearly shown now."

Although I had prepared a lot to lead the opening match to victory in this life.

If it comes out like that from the World Battle.net Association, Sung JiHan had no intention of getting involved in the opening match.

Because he was not a man who would just let it go even if he was defeated.

And according to the policy set on the plane at this time.

"Japan, in particular, stop hiding Ito Shizuru and make her face appropriate punishment. If the Battle.net Association listens to only one side and imposes an unfair punishment, I will boycott the Space League."

Yoon Se-jin threw a bomb in front of the reporters.

"The, the Space League...?"

"The player is boycotting the Space League...!"

"A player without national representative qualifications, how can they be the representative of Earth?"

"I agree. According to the Japanese side's claim, I am also considered an accomplice to murder. It seems that I don't have the qualifications to be the representative of Earth."

With those words, Sung JiHan and his party boarded the penthouse-exclusive elevator.

"Even Sung JiHan...!"

"Um, please tell us a little more!"

The reporters who were not stiff gathered again.

Blocked by the force, they could no longer report.

"No... Shizuru didn't die?"

"Boycotting the Space League...?"

"The waves are not to be taken lightly."

The reporters who were not paralyzed began to pour out breaking news.

"Shizuru is not dead? The King of Swords criticized Japan for hiding her."

"The King of Swords and Sung JiHan. They declare that they will boycott the Space League if their national representative qualifications are revoked!"

The world began to sway once again by the news of the King of Swords.

- Wow, it's coming out strong.

- Boycotting the Space League?

- Isn't that obvious? They lost their national representative qualifications, so it's a ridiculous request for them to participate in the Space League.

- A while ago, there was a rumor that the Federation might exempt the King of Swords from disqualification if he performs well in the Space League...

- Maybe they were worried that they might boycott too, haha.

- This kind of thing needs to come out strong!

- If this continues, won't they become outcasts in the Space League?

The news of boycotting the Space League was welcomed by the majority of Koreans.

- Boycotting the Space League? That's ridiculous!

- A Battle.net player not participating in the Space League...!

- It's actually better. Even without Sung JiHan and the King of Swords, there are plenty of talents on Earth!

- No, the problem is that there is no alternative to the Warrior class. The Space League should participate after fully preparing!

- How can they win in the league without players like Sung JiHan and the King of Swords fighting?

- That's right! If Shizuru didn't die, revoking her player qualification is hasty, isn't it?

- Do you believe that? Shizuru must have come to Korea since she died!

- Selfish Korean players! They refuse to pay the price and refuse to do their job!

- They are a group of murderers, after all, wwww.

While criticizing the King of Swords for declaring a boycott, foreigners were also concerned about the two strongest warriors leaving the Space League.

When the repercussions of the Space League boycott declaration spread rapidly around the world.

"Se-ah..."

Yoon Se-jin was meeting his daughter.

* * *

Sword Palace penthouse.

Yoon Se-jin got off the elevator with a trembling heart.

What should I say to my daughter?

"Do I have the qualification to come here?"

Since he didn't have a face to see Yoon Se-ah, he thought it might be better to be blind for now.

He took heavy steps.

"Dad!"

Invisible eyes.

The voice of her daughter, which she could hear in her ear, was just as cheerful as it was in her memory.

However, Yoon Sejin, whose senses were highly developed, could feel it.

That Yoon Saea was taking deep breaths and trying to control her emotions to speak in a bright voice.

"Did you have a good outing?"

Outing.

She expressed everything that had happened with a smiling face in those three words.

"Saea... I'm really sorry..."

"Why are you sorry! I deliberately used my charm to come here, how could I let myself be taken advantage of!"

Yoon Sejin, upon hearing that voice, unconsciously lowered her head.

As if nothing had happened.

As if everything was the same as usual.

She saw her daughter, who had calmly gone out and come back home, facing her father.

Thinking back to the past when she had said countless times that she had no daughter because she was obsessed with Shizuru.

She couldn't lift her face because she was embarrassed.

"Well... it was an accident. And in the end, you came back! So it's fine..."

While holding back her tears, she looked at Yoon Sejin.

Focusing her gaze on his eyes, she slowly approached her father.

"Are your eyes... okay?"

"No. Although I recovered with the leaves of the World Tree, my vision hasn't returned."

The leaves of the World Tree remove abnormalities and restore vitality.

Although she took them on the way back, only the trauma was healed, and her vision did not return.

"Ah... if only I had taken them a little earlier..."

Yoon Saea felt sorry, but...

"It's okay. It's my own fault."

Yoon Sejin replied calmly.

When it came to the incident that had stabbed his eyes, he had no regrets.

"Oh, really. What's okay...!"

"Don't worry too much. There must be a way to restore your vision on the Battle.net."

"R-Really...?"

"Yes."

"If Uncle says so, there must be a real way!"

When Yoon Sejin left Korea and was in a desperate situation.

His uncle, who resolved every situation and even brought his enchanted father.

Now Yoon Saea absolutely trusted whatever Sung JiHan said.

"But... that woman, she really didn't die?"

Yoon Saea asked cautiously, as if she had seen the interview on the first floor on TV.

Akari, who was following behind, answered quietly.

"She died. She didn't even leave a drop of blood."

"Ah... I knew it. I was just wondering."

"She was a dangerous woman who would have caused trouble if she had been kept alive."

"That's right. Phew..."

Yoon Saea finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She could now understand how much stress Shizuru had been to her.

"Oh, right."

Sung JiHan, towards her, took out the Aegis Ring from his inventory and handed it over.

"Oh, this is..."

"It's the Aegis Ring. It belonged to your sister. It's a bit dirty because that woman used it, but it's SSS-grade, so let's clean it and use it."

"SSS-grade?? Ah, then I don't need to clean it. Uncle! This will be useful for editing."

While Yoon Saea was surprised while reading the description of the modified Aegis Ring.

When she blinked her eyes and said it was okay, Sung JiHan slowly opened his mouth.

"Well, with that ring... I'm going to try finding your mother."
