At the start of the semester when cadets of Lair began returning to the academy district in their uniforms, a renowned embedded journalist of Serbia with a record of receiving the Pulitzer Prize, Petrović, uploaded a post on his personal SNS account.

[Official Petrović of WHO]

Title: Which cadet will be the one sitting on the Throne of Hell?

In Korea, the 'Yong household' sends fabulous sword prodigies into Lair once every three years. I'm sure everyone is already aware that they are a subsidiary of the Korean government as well as how most of the household members are adopted. Gifted children are admitted into Lair after learning the great swordsmanship of the household.

The Yong household started sending their prodigies in from the 1st year, followed by the 4th and the 7th, and the current cadets of the 10th year.

What about the cadets of the 'Erfan Guild' nurtured intensely by the Communist Party of China? The government enforced a harsh curriculum that could be seen as torture and cultivated them into living weapons. But this does ultimately contribute to how hundreds of excellent soldiers are made at Lair each year.

They began sending cadets in every second year from the zeroth year. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8… and finally the 10th year.

After reading this much, you should start to see the point I'm trying to make.

But, there's one more. You guys know it too.

North America's 'Noblesse School' could be seen as the ambitious result of the greatest capitalists of North America. These superhuman children that take precious herbs like normal supplements and drink Elixir instead of water enter Lair after growing up. The military funds that skyrocketed to a point similar to how it had been during the Cold War, is now being funneled into cadets instead of nuclear missiles.

They began from the 0th year and entered Lair on a 5 year basis.

In other words, the 0th, the 5th and the 10th.

Right, this here is the problem. Three massive organisations are gathering in the 10th year.

Isn't it interesting?

You guys should be able to remember – the neck-to-neck competition between the Erfan Guild and the Yong household back in the fourth year. The battle between the young prodigies of Korea and the wild beasts of the Communist Party.

And now, the Noblesse School is added on top of that.

Is that everyone?

No!

From my research, I've found Carlton, Skovseg, Van Guirrons, Sophia Vorkova, Yu Yeorum, Ling Ling, En, Carsau, Koizumi Tenichi etc… There are especially more cadets this year that are renowned for their skills.

Thus, I would like to call this year the Year of Hell. In fact, I am aware that all sorts of media worldwide are already bustling with discussions. Just like how you guys are curious, I am too.

Now, who will be the cadet ending up on the Throne of Hell?

Keep your chin up. All of you!

Episode 35: Ah, these ■■■■■■■ retards, actually ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ (1)

A large cylindrical building decorated the central area of the academy district like a landmark. This building was referred to as the Colosseo Lair and was the place where all conflict of Lair started and ended.

"So noisy."

"…"

"There's seriously a shit ton of people."

Yeorum grumbled with her hands stuck in her pockets.

6pm. Colosseo Lair after the end of school day was crowded with cadets and guardians. On one of the reception desks, cadets could receive their assignments while the other side was to sign up for individual spars.

"Do you know how the system works?"

"Huh? What system?"

"The individual spar system."

"…Don't we just fight?"

He knew she would be clueless for some reason.

All the individual spars of this place were a process for gathering virtual grades called 'Points'. Cadets would receive about 10 points with victory and lose about 10 after a defeat. The more points they had, the higher their rank in the 'individual spar' segment.

"Hnnn. Well, it's fine if I just win everything right?"

"That is correct."

"Then who am I versing? Do I have to go up one by one every single time like before?"

She asked as if she couldn't be bothered to do all that. Well, it was understandable considering how she had gone around asking for a fight only to be rejected most of the times. Since she couldn't just find a random cadet and bash them up, she wasn't able to fight even if she wanted to.

"No. During the competition, the opponent will be selected at random."

"At random?"

"Do you see the rooms over there?"

Yeorum followed his finger and turned around. Small cylindrical rooms could be seen beneath the window guards at the basement.

It amounted to around a hundred or so and since there were five floors going underground, it added up to around 500 rooms.

"Once you enter that place, you'll be summoned to a temporary battlefield in an alternate dimension. And you'll be fighting the opponent there."

"Ehng? You have to fight inside? Not out here?"

"Yeah. There has to be a record saying that it was a fair fight and the cadets can't be injured either."

On average, there was around 2000 cadets that applied for the competition in each grade. That was the same number of people as the number of opponents that Yeorum was going to be competing with.

Right, 'competing'.

In this place, everyone was an enemy.

As if to prove that, Colosseo Lair had a heavy suppressive atmosphere filled with tension. Cadets glanced around with nervousness and kept others in check while the guardians were more sensitive to anything that could negatively impact their cadets than usual.

However, they were all smiling on the outside and acquaintances would greet each other with a smile.

"Aigo, surely your cadet will be doing a better job."

"No no no. Let both our cadets try our best!"

They cheered for each other.

But there was no-one greeting Yeorum or Yu Jitae. People tended to avoid Yeorum even when she was alone and it was now more so because Yu Jitae the guardian, was also with her.

However, they still glanced towards her from all around. Voices asking the likes of, "That's her right?" were also heard from time to time. Only a few dozen or so out of the thousands of cadets were mentioned as powerhouses and Yeorum was one of the few dozen.

"The fuck are they staring at…"

Yeorum, however, seemed to be discontent with their gazes.

"Huh? Isn't that Superhuman Without Border?"

"It is… that golden cross symbol."

"That's nothing. I saw 'Regeneration' just then."

"What! You mean that Myung Yongha's guild?"

Some chatted here and there.

Occasionally, they also saw outsiders who had come to watch the competition. Most of them naturally had the intention of creating a good relationship with talented cadets that did not have a unique background.

Of course, all that had nothing to do with Yeorum.

"Let's go."

"Yeah."

Yu Jitae quietly took her towards the underground sparring rooms. The elevator heading underground was filled with people and when the doors were about to close, a familiar duo of male and female entered at the last second.

"…?"

The guardian having a disturbing appearance with a long scar, was Mihailov. And the cadet whose face was as white as snow was Sophia Vorkova, the Russian cadet who had fought with Yeorum during the Azure Dragon study group interview.

As soon as they found Yeorum and Yu Jitae, they frowned. Mihailov soon turned his back around and covered Sophia to protect her.

"Huh? Aren't you that girl?"

But Yeorum wouldn't be Yeorum if she stood still.

"Hey. You know me, right."

"…"

Mihailov gestured at Yu Jitae with his eyes. However, Yu Jitae calmly received his gaze without stopping Yeorum.

"Been a while. Your face okay?"

Feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles, Mihailov glanced at Yeorum with a troubled look before looking back at Sophia. He then shook his head slightly, telling her to stay silent.

However, he couldn't stop an immature young girl and Sophia turned her head around with a flick and faced Yeorum.

"Nn. It's all good. Your face looks fine as well."

"I know right? I almost ended up with a big fat knife mark."

Noticing the hidden meaning behind Yeorum's words, Mihailov facepalmed with a sigh.

"…"

When Sophia went silent, slight tension started flowing between the two of them.

Like how Yeorum was temperamental, Sophia was too. Sincerely hoping for the conversation to end, Mihailov placed his hand on top of Sophia's shoulder.

But the tension immediately dispersed with Sophia's following words.

"I'm sorry about what happened back then. I wanted to apologise, but I couldn't find the courage to."

She didn't sound or look very sorry but it was clearly an apology. Yeorum, who had been itching for a quarrel, quickly became sullen from the disappointment.

"Hmph."

After several seconds of awkward silence, Sophia opened her mouth.

"…You became quite famous in the meantime, didn't you."

"What?"

"I'm only hearing stories about you."

"About what."

"About doing a strange training method. According to those guys, you were walking like a toddler hand in hand with your guardian."

Yeorum shook her head.

"Those idiots don't know shit."

"Nn, well. Thanks to that, I was also bad-mouthed by those 'idiots that don't know shit'. They were freakin' like, how weak is Sophia for her to be smashed by someone like that."

"You didn't do anything after hearing that?"

"I know right. Those fucking idiots have a death wish or something…"

Hearing the natural outburst of profanities, Yeorum grinned.

"Why not pick up your sword. I thought you were good at it."

"My guardian held me back."

In response, Yeorum bursted out in laughter and Sophia also chuckled after feeling more relaxed.

Other cadets and guardians inside the same elevator threw glances signalling their discomfort but the two of them did not care at all. It was Mihailov, who was once again put in an awkward spot.

"Haa, so I'm going to prove it this time around."

"Prove what."

"The fact that I'm strong. There are lots of guys thinking they're strong in our tenth year and I'm going to smack all of them down."

"You?"

"…"

When Yeorum said that with an expression suggesting that it was ridiculous, a crack appeared on Sophia's smile.

"Aiiinng, unni. It's a joke. Don't be angry ♥"

"…"

"Arre you angwwy? You wanna touch my titties?"

"Huu… whatever. I just can't get my head around you…"

It seemed that their emotional crack had been resolved. By the time they got off the elevator they appeared much more relaxed.

Sophia took a step forward first and Yeorum was also about to turn her body around to the designated room.

"I think."

"Huh?"

That was when Sophia opened her mouth.

"There will be quite a lot of people watching you."

"Why?"

"Because you're strong and unique. There will be a lot of viewers. If there's a skill you cherish or something, don't use it until you have to. So that they don't see it."

All the fights happening inside the sparring rooms were recorded and could also be watched in real time.

However, Yeorum grinned without a care.

"So what if they watch it?"

Like a flooding river in a rainy season, her pride overflowed. Sophia smiled as if she was dumbfounded.

"Crazy bitch…"

"Take care of yourself. You weakling."

"…Right. I guess there was no need to say that. Try your best. Let's meet once we both reach one digit in our ranks. I'll crush you."

Despite their words, the mood was quite bright. Before leaving, Mihailov bid farewell to Yu Jitae with his eyes so he returned a nod.

Soon when they entered the designated room, the device that would send her to the alternate dimension welcomed them. There was a scoreboard that displayed the points and ranks as well as the [Spar] button.

"I'll stay here so go do your best."

The guardian had to remain in the room.

"Yeah."

Yeorum placed her hand next to the button.

But suddenly, she stopped her hand. Yeorum, who had been full of confidence, now looked slightly nervous and was hesitant on pressing the button.

After a flash of gloominess on her face,

"…Should I do a warm up first?"

He watched her stretch.

She was a child who had cried after a single defeat. Such a child had lost nearly a hundred times against the great orc warrior alone during training. Somewhere inside her unforgetting memories, defeat might have become commonplace.

Perhaps because of that, Yeorum was nervous right now.

"No need to be nervous."

"Huh?"

"You won't lose."

It was coming from Yu Jitae, who was always objective. Hearing those words which were close to an affirmation, Yeorum gave a nod with a better expression.

She pressed the button and soon disappeared along with the intense light of mana.

Yu Jitae sat down on the seat and watched the display screen.

There was an outdoor arena in a vast wasteland.

Stones and sand rolled around the ground and in a distant place was a surprisingly high-level artifact, the Level 4 artifact [Statue of Competition]. It would cast a thin protective layer around the cadets' bodies.

The opponent soon entered the battlefield.

It was a male cadet in the first grade. His name, age, and a simple status of his physical capabilities were displayed on the screen. He was better than average.

On top of their heads were HP bars resembling characters of a fighting game. The moment those bars reached 0, the users would be expelled out of the alternate dimension and lose.

Raising the wooden sword, Yeorum prepared herself against the opponent.

Inside the alternate dimension,

"Huh? Aren't you Yu Yeorum?"

The cadet recognised her and opened his mouth.

"Uhh, umm. I'll be in your care…"

However, Yeorum did not reply and her attention was at a totally different place. From some time ago, a number was going up next to the face symbol hanging in mid-air.

[( ́•ω•̀) x 5]

It was the number of viewers who were watching the battle unfold somewhere via the Lair app. The number quickly went up every single time it got updated; from 5 to 10 before eventually hitting 15…

Tch. Clicking her tongue, Yeorum raised the sword up.

Don't show what doesn't have to be shown, was it.

[3]

[2]

[1]

The hologram countdown slowly went down.

Ding–

And the moment the chime rang, Yeorum flung her body forward.

Shiieeeek–! Kwaang!

Her body moved without the opponent even seeing it and her strike was likewise invisible to the eye. Nonetheless, the wooden sword accurately landed on the opponent's head.

"Kuuk!"

After being smacked on the head, the cadet was shot back around 10 metres before disappearing into fragments of light.

Bababbam! A fanfare congratulated her victory as the words hanging on the hologram changed.

[Victor: Yu Yeorum.]

[Combat time: 00 minutes, 01 second.]

[Acquired Points: 10]

A spherical lump appeared in mid-air and was absorbed into Yeorum's body.

It was but one strike.

Episode 35: Ah, these ■■■■■■■ retards, actually ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ (2)

During the two months of school holidays, Yeorum didn't fight against other cadets. It was because Yu Jitae didn't allow her to.

How much stronger have I become; how much can I fight?

Those were the thoughts that had constantly hit her throughout the training.

And by moving her body just once, Yeorum realised that everything had become a lot better than before. The weight of the ground when she kicked off it; every strand of body hair fluttering against the breeze, and the shock received by her fist when she struck her opponent – everything made her heart beat faster.

'I, became stronger.'

The pain she went through during the training vividly flashed past her eyes – the suffering that tempted her to give up, the time she spent crying before sleep at night and the stream of blood that travelled down the sword handle. She could remember her own shameful voice that asked the guardian to stay together, thinking that she might die.

It felt like she was being rewarded for all that suffering.

After the battle ended, right before being summoned back to the real world, Yeorum showed a bright smile at the camera artifact and shot her fist up.

She then screamed while jumping up and down.

"I won!"

It was her expression of joy towards Yu Jitae but Yeorum did not know. She didn't know the fact that the footage continued even after the fight ended until she was summoned back.

[( ́•ω•̀) x 23]

"Uwah…"

Carley from the PR team absent-mindedly watched the display screen.

"What's wrong, Carley?"

"Sorry? Ah, it's just… I was thinking to myself that Cadet Yu Yeorum also made faces like that."

"What face?"

Even the senior who revisited the footage was surprised and laughed. The video had more potential than just a simple surprise factor. The Public Relations team responsible for the promotion of Lair was also in charge of creating Lair's image, and Lair's image was made by cadets themselves.

Yu Yeorum, who always had a pouty look and easily got upset was not suited for being Lair's mascot character. There was also the atmosphere around her that dissuaded others from approaching her.

However, Yu Yeorum inside the footage was full of liveliness and energy. It was more striking than normal because she was acting differently.

Her ridiculous beauty was another positive element.

"Hmm… not too bad."

"Right?"

"Keep as many videos of her as possible."

"Ah, yes. Can I ask why though?"

"Looks decent right. There was a lot of talk about creating a mascot character out of her in the first place so…"

"Huh? I thought we weren't doing that for the Yu household cadets?"

The PD shook his head.

"Mate. No. That's just for Yu Kaeul. Anyways, take the videos and send it to me on email. I'll try showing it to the team leader when we go through the script."

Whatever the form, one could only participate in the ranking competition once a day but it was fine considering that the event lasted four long months.

Anyone could freely continue the spars but points wouldn't be given after the first one, and so Yeorum wanted to go back. It seemed to be because of the advice given by Sophia.

Therefore, the two of them left the Colosseo and were in an alley on the way back to the residential area. After looking around, Yeorum crouched down next to a large bin on the side of the alleyway.

"What are you doing? Come here."

"…"

Yu Jitae also went near her and crouched down. She took out a cigarette and placed it between her lips.

"You know. Tell me honestly. Honest."

"…"

"Okay?"

"Alright."

"Super honest. Well, I know you're pretty bad at lying in the first place, but as honestly as you can."

"…Got it."

"In your opinion, how much have I grown? Is it to a satisfactory degree?"

Immediately after finishing her sentence, Yeorum shook her head.

"No, wait. Don't say anything. Fuck."

"Why."

"You were about to go quiet and hesitate. I know."

How did she know.

"Ehew. So it's still not enough after all that… isn't your standard too high?"

"…"

"Not that I hate it though."

She grumbled. Thinking to himself that she might need a compliment, Yu Jitae opened his mouth while shaking his head.

"You're doing good. A lot better than what I expected."

"What?"

"It's true. There aren't any dragons living as earnestly as you."

"Hmph…"

Kum, hmph. After giving several meaningless coughs, Yeorum lit the cigarette on fire. In the back alleyway away from others, she slowly breathed out smoke and lowered her head.

The joy she tried to suppress bursted out as she faintly chuckled.

"That's good."

Meanwhile, the Regressor felt another strange feeling.

The small lines of smoke diverging into the air could be seen vividly and the smell of cigarette nearing his nose contained a heavy texture.

What about the scattered bob hair and the smile on the child's face? The hazy world which appeared to have been behind a blurry cover became clear, from the alleyway all the way up to the sky above.

This was not his first time feeling this.

It was similar to what he felt when Bom was being mischievous with him in the past; the sensation that hit him when he could visibly sense the distancing of the Apocalypse.

Without even blinking his eyes, he absorbed the clean feeling in its entirety.

It didn't feel too bad.

"…Anyway, let's talk about what to do next."

"Yeah."

"Your goal is to be ranked 1st in the school competition, right?"

"Right. If I can't even do that, how would I take down Javier, and how would I go home. I'll be fucked."

Though she didn't specify, that 'oldest unni' who had broken out of the egg before others probably had an outstanding talent even compared to other dragons. It might even be enough to make her the lord of their race.

Besides, if she was over a hundred years old, she would still be considered a hatchling to dragons who lived over thousands of years but might be as strong as the 40-year old Javier and could even be stronger depending on her level of talent.

"…Right. So, I looked into it."

Yu Jitae turned his watch on and displayed a hologram of the screen. A list of profiles appeared.

"What's this?"

"Cadets receive the most points from individual spars, completing assignments and the tournament. These three."

They each took about 30% and added up to 90%.

"Nn."

"And from those three, the spars and the tournament are especially more driven towards individual power. Since that's the case, the ones that will be competing against you are pretty much already decided."

He shared the information about cadets that he had discovered with Yeorum.

1. Renowned Swordsmanship Family, the Yong household.

27 cadets were admitted into Lair from the Yong household this year and the ones that were considered the cream of the crop are Yong Taeha and Yong Danbi, the son and daughter of the family head, Yong Jungkook. Of course, they were both adopted and Yong Danbi wasn't even an Asian and she was black.

"It's them, huh. I've seen them somewhere."

2. China's Erfan Guild.

510 cadets had been sent from the Erfan Guild, and there were about four that required more attention – Zhou Luxun, Ling Ling, Zhang Xueyan and O Wong. In this era where human rights were being reconsidered, these had received hellish training ever since they were babies.

Zhou Luxun also belonged to Professor Ha Yoon's Moonlight study group.

"These guys look fucking sinister."

3. Noblesse School.

85 cadets had been sent from there. Although their average level of skill was already very high, the one that required the most amount of caution was Tyr Brzenk, the son of the current Rank 1 worldwide, Oscar Brzenk.

Almost everyone sent from Noblesse school belonged to a study group or a society, but Tyr Brzenk wasn't. He appeared to have learned it from his father.

There were lots of exceptional cadets apart from them. First grade students living in the academy city amounted to around 10,000, and 1% of those were prodigies who had been praised for being geniuses in their home countries.

They would all be commuting to Colosseo Lair, pondering on how to raise their ranks.

"Then what should I do now?"

"For now, let's continue with the spars and slowly raise the points. There aren't any assignments with a high number of points available yet, and the tournament is only going to open next month."

"Alright."

Yeorum nodded with a serious expression.

"So this guy's father is that Rank 1 Oscar?"

"Yeah. He's also the vice president of the International Hunter Association."

"Hnn, is he stronger than you?"

"No."

After casually flicking the cigarette bud away, Yeorum grinned.

"He's trash then."

***

After that, Yeorum spent the next two weeks diligently participating in the duels without resting a single day. Most of them ended with one strike and were boring.

The semester had just begun and the cadets all had relatively low points on average. Strong and weak cadets were all intertwined within the similar range of scores and Yeorum's opponents were comparatively too weak.

Of course, it was also true that Yeorum was just overwhelmingly strong.

The allocation of points decreased when there was a bigger gap between the scores of the participants. For example, If Yeorum with 100 points defeated a cadet with 50 points, she wouldn't get the full 10 points and would instead get 5.

Due to that, the points she had gathered from the past 14 days was 111. The ranks weren't given yet because it only got refreshed monthly, but she would at least be in the top twenty.

On Lair's forum page, there was an anonymous cadet with 113 points. That cadet probably won all 14 days but was just luckier and received more points than Yeorum did.

Once everyone accumulated a decent amount of points, cadets with high scores will fight others with similar points.

That will be the true starting point of the competition.

"Uwaaah! Our unni is crazy. Crazy crazy!"

Kaeul clapped and created a fuss. Clap clap clapp–! Without knowing anything, Gyeoul copied her unni and gave a clap.

"Unni unni unni! Can I go have a look?"

"Huh?"

"I want to watch unni fight!"

"Why?"

"Do you know everyone's talking about you these days? I'm not interested in fighting so I didn't know, but the kids were calling Yeorum-unni insane!"

"Really?"

"Nn! They said you look like a charging boar!"

When Yeorum made a straight face after hearing that, Kaeul went, oops.

"Umm, anyways! Can I go watch?"

"Why bother. Just use your watch at home. Why would you go all the way there?"

"Whyy? It's going to be more exciting in person right!"

"Just don't come. There's nothing to watch anyway. It ends straight after the start when I smack their heads so why bother?"

Kaeul appeared regretful and Gyeoul also showed a regretful look a second after her.

"Do you even know what we're talking about?"

"…Nn," nodded Gyeoul.

"Know my ass. What do you know."

"…I, know. Okay?"

"Whatever. Come watch when I'm actually fighting someone a bit stronger, when there's actually something to watch."

"…Will you call me?"

"Yeah."

Hearing that, satisfaction arose in the water-coloured eyes.

Although Bom didn't say much, she tied Yeorum's hair into a bun before she left for Colosseo and said, "Don't get hurt." But her hair was too short and it was hard to create a good bun without all the hair sticking out.

"I'll be right back."

The gazes of the surroundings had changed. Cadets wearing short sleeves stole glances at Yeorum whenever she was walking down the road.

This was the same as usual. However, it was to glance at her face before while now they looked as if they were staring at a celebrity. Some of them whispered, "Is that her?" among each other.

"What you looking at?"

Sometimes, Yeorum frowned and spoke to the whispering ones who would then turn their heads away in fright. There were occasionally cadets who walked up calling themselves a fan but Yeorum remained apathetic.

"A fan? So what?"

That wasn't the end. When they were at the waiting room of Colosseo, people glanced at Yu Jitae with eyes that seemed to be asking, 'Is he that girl's guardian?'. For him, this was a new experience because everyone had been uncomfortable and afraid of his existence from the fifth iteration onward.

Since they were completely uninterested in fame, Yu Jitae and Yeorum both ignored them.

However…

Something added fuel to the fire.

Two weeks after the start of the school competition when Yeorum was struggling from the boredom of fighting against boring cadets, a special cadet was finally chosen as the opponent.

The stage for the battle in the alternate dimension was a back alleyway of a town. A gloomy townscape was visible behind the pathway.

Yeorum was waiting for a person to join after entering first when the opponent was found and a simplified profile appeared in mid-air.

[Ling Ling]

(Erfan Guild, Heavenly Horse study group)

– Strength 9 Agility 9 Stamina 9 Mana 9

– Acquired Points: 109

She was a cadet from CPC's Erfan Guild, who also belonged to the Heavenly Horse study group, which rivalled the previous Azure Dragon study group of Wei Yan.

The statistics weren't very meaningful beyond the limit and Yeorum also had 9 for all her stats. However, considering the fact that average cadets had 4~5, it was a pretty high stat.

Her acquired points were 109 and were 2 less than Yeorum who had 111 points. It also meant that she hadn't lost during the past 14 days.

As light gathered in one place and soon scattered, a female cadet holding two swords appeared from within.

It was Ling Ling.

She was short and small and was a head shorter than Yeorum who was about 167cm tall. Although her body was small, she resembled a wild beast.

Her eyes were blurry and her unkempt hair was left messy. Her face, neck and arms were all full of scars and wounds, and her fangs were also protruding out like a beast.

The only things clean were her two wooden swords that had been provided by Lair.

"…"

The aura she was giving off was different from others.

She was strong – after estimating the power level of the opponent, Yeorum's gaze became a level sharper. News about their fight seemed to have spread in that short span of time and the number of audience which usually stayed somewhere around 50 to 100, quickly soared up like crazy.

[( ́•ω•̀) x 373]

Soon, the countdown began.

[3]

Ling Ling raised her two swords and readied herself for battle.

[2]

Yeorum closed her eyes and felt her pulsation.

[1]

And finally, the bell rang.

Episode 35: Ah, these ■■■■■■■ retards, actually ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ (3)

"Oi, dude, dude. It's starting now."

Inside a waiting room on B3 of Colosseo, cadets were gathered in front of a display screen.

It was 14 consecutive wins vs 14 consecutive wins, and was a big match that would be carried out once a day at most. Similar to the battle yesterday between Yong Taeha of the Yong household and Sophia Vorkova who each had 13 consecutive wins, the fight today would be an interesting sight for the excited cadets.

"Wow, is it Ling Ling versus Yu Yeorum? That's gonna be spicy."

"Aren't they both in the top 30's at least?"

"Yeah, but with their scores, they would have been in the top 20's or the top 10 last year."

"Who do you think's gonna win? They both look super strong."

During the two weeks after the start of the semester, cadets that were greatly interested in getting stronger tended to watch footage of cadets with a high number of points. If they couldn't make it for the live battle, they would find a recorded version at least.

Thus, they watched with intense excitement.

"I don't know. I'll stan for whoever that wins."

"Dude, if you're a Korean, cheer for the Korean at least."

"My mum's Chinese though."

"Aht…"

One of the two will rise to have 15 consecutive wins, while the other would have their record broken. Depending on the outcome of the battle, their points would end up having a difference of 20 points, so it would be a huge blow to the loser even though it was still the start of the semester.

One day's loss required them to have two days of wins to rise back up.

A cadet wearing a pair of circular glasses opened his mouth.

"Actually, it might end quickly. Both of them are extremely aggressive so rather than becoming a battle of attrition…"

"Just shut up."

"Okay."

Tension arose as the area turned quiet. But once the countdown began, the cadets turned rowdy again. Ling Ling, who grabbed the swords in a reverse grip, formed a cross with her arms.

"Huh? What's that?"

"Ehng?"

Cadets who were used to watching Ling Ling's fights were in doubt.

Ding–

The moment the bell rang, Ling Ling stabbed the swords down before pushing the ground away.

Like pushing off the ground with ski poles, she accelerated her small body forward and bounced forward like a tiny flea. "Uwah!" The cadets created an uproar as they watched Ling Ling shorten the distance of 15 metres in an instant while swinging the two swords around like a blender.

It was difficult to spot it with their eyes but Yeorum seemed to have blocked it. A destructive thud that was unbelievably made by the clash of wooden swords resonated as dust clouded the alleyway arena.

"Guwaaaa!"

"What the hell! That's insane!"

Their arms appeared to be moving judging from their body and shoulder movements but everything was blurry past the elbow and the sword wasn't even visible.

The two of them were in a different time plane compared to the spectating cadets.

After receiving a strike, Yeorum kicked the ground and flew forward. It was an intimidating stab, which Ling Ling parried by crossing her swords but the aftermath of Yeorum's mana went on and demolished the wall behind her.

The following slash aimed for Ling Ling's head and although she tried to block it with one of the swords her power was far too lacking. Along with an explosion, Ling Ling's head received a direct hit. Even the barrier wasn't enough to fully nullify the strike and blood oozed out of her head while the HP bar also went down by a large margin.

Despite that, she used her other sword to reach for Yeorum's lower stomach, but Yeorum, who had trained how to delicately manipulate mana with Yu Jitae, protected her stomach with mana.

She was still flung backward by a dozen metres before she immediately tried to raise her body back up. However, Ling Ling didn't wait for her. Her small body once again flew forward with her swords acting like ski poles as flames rose up from the blades.

It was her forte, [Flame Sword (B+)]. The two swords enveloped in flames came crashing down like the fangs of a beast.

Kwaang!

A pillar of fire was created and covered the two behind the blaze.

"Oi, oi! What's happening! Come on!"

"Uwaaah!"

They screamed from the cliff-hanger.

Bam! That was when someone was flung outside with their body burnt black like charcoal. It then fell down on the ground. Ling Ling, who stood back up with her fangs in full display, had her teeth painted in deep red as if she had been hit on the mouth.

And before long, Yeorum slowly walked out from the flames. Disgust was evident in her expression.

– Fucking bitch. You dare try to bite my ear?

"Kuuuuhh!"

"She's swearing! She's swearin'!"

"Yu Yeorum's angry!"

Yeorum's left fist was covered in blood.

Blood travelled down her nose after perhaps allowing a hit from Ling Ling. Raising her left hand, Yeorum aggressively wiped the blood and it was apparent that she was fuming even from the other side of the camera.

Soon, Ling Ling dashed forward again. It looked like she was in a fight to death as she slashed down with the two swords but her arm was soon bent into an unnatural angle, crushed by Yeorum's sword.

"Uaaak…!"

"Uwah, what the fuck!"

But Ling Ling did not give up. The small beast dropped the swords and used her fractured arm to grab Yeorum by her hair.

Bam!

She then gave a headbutt which made Yeorum roll on the ground. Chasing after her, Ling Ling rode on top of Yeorum and revealed her fangs with her hands on Yeorum's chest.

Yeorum's elbow was then bitten as blood oozed out through the gap created within the barrier. Meanwhile, Ling Ling's hands tried to rip Yeorum's protective equipment on the chest area. Her nails were broken and blood raced out but she did not hesitate.

Ling Ling did not care about the method as long as she could win.

At the start, Yeorum was dumbfounded,

– What are you trying to…?

Ling Ling smiled,

– This fucking bitch! You have a death wish!!

And Yeorum finally went insane.

She raised her [Pulsation] to the max.

Slam! She smacked her on the face which twisted Ling Ling's chin to the side. Ling Ling's hands that looked for a place to grab managed to reach Yeorum's neck but Yeorum withstood against the grip with her neck alone and held the unkempt hair with her hand. Then, she used her fist to crush Ling Ling's face. Along with a nosebleed, her lips were torn.

Startled, the beast distanced itself but that was soon proven to have been a mistake. [Karl-Gullakwa Stand-up Martial Art]'s swordsmanship was revealed. Yeorum's sword was covered in a red light as it travelled down an unthinkable trajectory.

Ling Ling tried to use her arms and the wooden sword she managed to pick up to parry the sword, but her arms were crushed yet again along with the sword this time. She was flung backward and crashed into the wall, through the building, until she crashed into the fence on the other side of the building.

The camera quickly rose up in order to film both of them. However, Ling Ling's HP was reduced to 0 and she soon turned into fragments of light.

Still enraged, Yeorum approached the place where Ling Ling had been, and angrily bellowed at an empty place.

[Victor: Yu Yeorum.]

[Combat time: 03 minutes, 15 seconds.]

[Acquired Points: 10]

"…"

An unfathomable battle and the gruesome appearances of the two cadets – after watching it all, one of the spectating cadets blocked their mouth with a myriad of emotions. He wasn't the only one getting goosebumps from it.

To prove that, the waiting room remained quiet for a very long time.

***

"That fucking slut! I'll kill her!"

Yeorum screamed after being summoned back to the real world.

The Level 4 artifact, [Statue of Competition] healed the injured cadets almost entirely after the end of the duel. Thanks to that, she was back to normal and her several wounds had already vanished.

"Calm down. Yu Yeorum."

"You saw right? You saw that as well! That crazy bitch tried to rip my clothes after realising she couldn't win!"

She no longer had a weapon after the spar ended. While fuming, Yeorum glanced around and picked up a fire extinguisher before kicking the door open with her foot. She walked forward in large strides and appeared like she was about to kill someone.

He could understand both sides. The red race viewed fights and duels as important but amongst the competitive superhumans, there were several of them that had a screw loose like Ling Ling.

Should he stop this, or no.

In fact, the Regressor couldn't really find the reason to stop her. Wouldn't she be in a better mood after venting her anger?

So if this wasn't Colosseo, he might have let her do whatever she wanted. However, there were too many eyes in the surroundings.

A thick arm covered her body before she could go outside onto the corridor.

"Let go. Don't hold me back. I'm serious!"

Driven insane, Yeorum shouted and raised her nails to scratch Yu Jitae's arm. Of course, he didn't bleed and it was her own nails that bled instead.

There was no other choice.

[Knifehand Strike (D)]

***

"…"

That night, Yeorum crouched down and smoked a cigarette after cooling herself down.

"…"

She didn't get angry at him for stopping her. Having decided to obey the system of the academy, she knew what sort of result her actions would have caused.

"…"

After coming back to the dormitory, Yeorum stayed holed up in her room and brooded over what happened the entire day. It wasn't the first or second time she was doing this, so the Regressor had an idea of what it meant for her to spend time alone and sulk.

In fact, it wasn't something to get angry about. The fight had just escalated more than it should so her anger was only temporary.

She needed some time to settle her rampaging emotions, like what she was doing now.

As he had expected, Yeorum walked out of her room the next morning while scratching her belly beneath the shirt as if nothing happened.

"Do you feel a bit better now."

"…Yeah. Breakfast?"

Yeorum spread some cream cheese on a slice of bread with nimble hands and pushed it into her mouth. Meanwhile, Yu Jitae talked about what happened the day before.

"You fought well yesterday."

"…Yeah. I won, and that's all that matters."

"Right."

"Yourself?"

"Huh?"

"You thought it was a shame didn't you? When you were looking. Since I didn't properly use what I learned."

He didn't say anything in response. She was right and her fight yesterday was simply a mess.

Yeorum grinned.

"You knoowww~ That girl was fuckin' acting like an animal. I was freakin' surprised and I got caught up in her pace."

"Whatever. No need to explain what's happened already."

Hearing that, she gave a nod with a pout. Then, she quietly resumed pushing the bread into her mouth so Yu Jitae had to break the silence.

"Lair's community website is in an uproar. Quite a lot of them watched the video as well."

"Ah, you mean that, footage of the fight?"

"Yeah."

"How many?"

"5,200."

"Shit."

It meant that half of the 1st grade cadets had seen it. "They must've seen me go mad," she chuckled.

"And?"

"What do you mean."

"Anything fun apart from that?"

"People were bad-mouthing that Chinese girl a fair bit."

"What were they saying?"

When Yu Jitae quietly showed her the posts and comments of [Community Lair], Yeorum once again chuckled.

And after seeing an announcement, her expression turned a level brighter.

"Hoh? What's this. She got sanctioned! You see this '3 days of restriction on individual spars for misconduct and 20 points deducted' part? She's fucked now right?"

It wasn't there when he last checked but it seemed that the education department had just come up with a punishment.

"Serves you right, you stupid bitch. Fight if you're there to fight. Why try to rip someone else's shirt?"

"…"

"Did she want to see it that badly? Well, my titties do stand out a bit too much ♥"

She joked around and laughed frankly without keeping a pretense. Even her mouth munching on the bread began moving slightly faster.

Yeorum being happy and enjoying herself wasn't too bad to look at.

"Anyway, there was a call from the PR team."

"What did they say."

"They want to carry out an interview with ten or so from the top ranks of the individual spar section. How is it – are you interested?"

"Not really."

"You want me to turn them down for you?"

"Hmm…"

Blankly chewing on the bread, she asked.

"By the way, is that tiny bitch also coming?"

She appeared to be talking about Ling Ling.

"I think she was."

"I'm going then, of course."

"…"

"I'm not trying to fight. My mood's all settled now, and I just wanted to have a chat."

"…Alright."

"Seriously, do you think I get angry all the time?"

Although it was hard to believe her, the Regressor couldn't find the reason to dissuade her either. Thus, he took Yeorum that day and headed to the PR team.

But after arriving at the waiting room of the PR team's interviews, Yeorum became slightly startled.

She entered after kicking the door. When eyes gathered on her, she greeted them by saying, "Hello unnis and oppas?".

Up to there was fine because she was doing all that without thinking too much about it. What was strange instead was the atmosphere surrounding the room and the ones that had already gathered.

When she curiously inspected them closely, she realised that someone was holding another person by their collar.

Besides, they all looked familiar. Those nine cadets who had gathered at that place were all inside the list of people that required more attention, provided by Yu Jitae. In other words, they were all candidates for the top positions amongst first graders.

They were fighting but the tense atmosphere was cracked by Yeorum's entrance.

One of them let go of the collar and spitted on the ground, while someone else swore.

"…Look at you guys."

Though surprised, Yeorum gave a smile.

"What are you doing here?"

Episode 35: Ah, these ■■■■■■■ retards, actually ■■■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■ (4)

Yu Jitae and Yeorum didn't know because they weren't interested, but the current candidates for the top positions weren't in a good relationship.

Their conflict began ever since the seventh day when they started directly competing against each other in the 'assignment performances' and 'individual spars'. Being young children with both strength and a good background, there was no reason for them to be nice with each other considering the clash in their interests.

Thus, they tended to slander each other when they met privately, like right now.

"Fucking piece of dog shit…"

"What did you say, you nigger?"

When Yong Danbi, a black girl, swore at the Chinese cadet, O Wong nonchalantly returned a racist comment. Yong Taeha from the Yong household held Yong Danbi back, while Zhang Xueyan stopped O Wong.

Right when the overheated atmosphere was about to cool back down, Yeorum opened her mouth.

"Huh? Why are you guys stopping?"

She attracted the glares of others.

"Dude, that guy was calling you a nigger."

"…"

"You don't have any self-esteem? If someone called me a malatang-hair, I would skin their face."

Yong Danbi scowled as her anger rose back up, and turned her body back towards O Wong.

"Oi, oi. Danbi!"

Having a clean and handsome appearance, the greatest genius of all time of the Yong household, Yong Taeha, stopped Yong Danbi in a fluster.

"Yu Yeorum. Why are you chiming in for no reason?"

"I'm just saying. Hey, Chinese. She's calling you dog shit though?"

"…"

O Wong with a sinister scar on his face suddenly unsheathed a dagger from his waist. "Calm down!" shouted Zhang Xueyan as she stopped him yet again.

"Yu Yeorum. I know what kind of person you are."

"And?"

"Don't make other fight for no reason. Please. What do we gain by fighting in the first place?"

In response to Yong Taeha's words, Yeorum shrugged her shoulders.

Kukukuk. That was when someone laughed from the side. It was Sophia Vorkova.

"Bullshit. Didn't you say something the day before about a girl acting up to me?"

"Oi Sophia. When did I say that?"

"Eat shit. You fucker. That's exactly how you sounded."

Right before it was about to turn chaotic again, the producer from the PR team entered the room and informed them to be on standby for the interview. The cadets turned quiet again.

While the room was surrounded in tension, Yeorum looked at Ling Ling – at the small girl hidden behind tall and large cadets, Zhou Luxun, Zhang Xueyan and O Wong.

"Hey."

Her words in the midst of silence gathered their attention. Their eyes seemed to be saying, 'What is she trying to do now?'.

"Isn't there something you need to tell me?"

"…"

Unlike when she was holding onto the swords, Ling Ling's eyes appeared powerless.

"Hello? Anything."

"I don't…"

"You don't? You said something inside that large outburst of flames, didn't you. 'If you see me outside…'"

It was then. Zhang Xueyan from the Erfan Guild cut her words off and shot out of her seat.

"Yu Yeorum. That's enough."

"Who are you."

"You're very mean aren't you? Our Ling Ling is a sick child. She's mentally weak. The fight's over and she received a punishment for her error. Do you still want to threaten her like that?"

Her voice was full of sorrow and sadness. The tide soon shifted and the cadets threw glances at Yeorum.

"Stop there, Yu Yeorum. You're being disgraceful to us Koreans."

"Yeah. I know you're famous for your personality but you're crossing the line."

"What? I'm crossing the line?"

Yu Yeorum rose from her seat in a sudden outburst of anger.

"You want me to show you what crossing the line really means?"

When the situation was about to escalate once more, the PD entered at an opportune timing and signalled the start of the interview.

***

Yu Jitae went to the guardian's seat of the interview room after sending Yeorum to the waiting room. As expected of the renowned guilds and households, the guardians were all relatively strong.

There were a few Yu Jitae recognised including Professor Ha Yoon, the teacher in charge of Cadet Zhou Luxun.

"Hello. I wasn't expecting you to come here."

"…Hello."

"I was wondering what Cadet Yeorum's rather unique training was about, but she got a lot stronger."

"Yes."

The Regressor's voice was as dry as a straw broom sweeping over asphalt. Seemingly discontent about something, Professor Ha Yoon threw a glance at Yu Jitae.

Before long, the cadets entered the interview room as the interview soon began with the Head Producer asking questions to the 10 cadets at random.

In general, the questions of the PR team were provocative and sensitive. It was to create the image of the cadets being in a fierce competition, which the audience tended to love. And to make their cadets more famous, the guardians agreed to a certain degree of provocation.

Four days ago, O Wong from the Erfan Guild and Yong Danbi of the Yong household had fought once with Yong Danbi coming out victorious. Thus, the PR team asked O Wong, "What type of person is Yong Danbi to you?"

"Cadet Yong Danbi?"

O Wong replied with a very amiable smile.

"She's a very strong cadet."

Since they had learned how to treat the media from their guilds and households, the cadets stealthily avoided the sensitive questions. It was difficult to think that they had been cursing at each other several minutes ago.

Yong Danbi likewise answered with a gentle smile.

"Cadet O Wong is very diligent. He has a lot of potential that could still be developed."

Although it sounded like a compliment at a glance, it had a different meaning for the two of them. It became even more evident after the PD asked, "Anything you would like to say to each other?"

"O Wong looks very handsome and has the strength that suits his beautiful face. As expected of Erfan's representative model."

– O Wong is a retard who believes solely on his face.

"I heard that Cadet Yong Danbi is better at magic than Cadet Yong Taeha, although he is better at swordplay."

– Lol, you're mediocre at both sword and magic.

"I think there would have been a different road even if he didn't work as a superhuman. This industry is dangerous after all."

– Go entertain others or something. Where do you think this is, you trash.

"Cadet Yong Danbi is very nimble. I think she has the talent of getting into a secret task force."

– You're invisible at night.

They continued complimenting each other with connotative words but the PD felt regretful. He wished there to be more competitiveness but it was way too subtle right now.

Next up was Ling Ling, who the PD then handed the mic over to.

"Cadet Ling Ling. Nice to meet you."

"Ah, yes…"

When hesitation appeared beneath her messy and unkempt hair, a flower bloomed on the PD's face.

"Haha. Although you're very charming in reality, there are a lot of fans who love your unpolished beauty whenever you are in a fight. It's called gap moe, right? Gap moe. Are you aware of that?"

Ling Ling looked back at Zhang Xueyan with an anxious look who then replied in her stead.

"Ling Ling is a bit indifferent to others' interest."

"Is she? Then about the fight with Cadet Yeorum that happened yesterday…"

"Ah, I'm very sorry but Ling Ling is very fragile at heart. It would be great if you didn't ask that question please. Sorry."

The mic went over to Zhang Xueyan.

The interview room was filled with an awkward and uncomfortable aura. It was because cadets who were trying to kill each other with swords in hand were now made to force a smile at one another.

"Ah, these fucking retards…"

So when Yeorum whispered to herself, it felt like the interview room had been bombarded.

"…they're actually fucking disgusting."

Her somewhat loud mutter was heard by everyone present. The PD, who was about to open his mouth, dropped his chin in shock while Zhang Xueyan also turned back to Yeorum in surprise.

They all widened their eyes into circles and the PD quickly handed Yeorum the mic.

"Sorry, what was that just then? Cadet Yeorum?"

"It's fine if you didn't hear it. More importantly Mister Producer, please hurry up with the interview with me first so that I can go home. I can't stay even a minute longer in a place this disgusting."

Hearing her unstoppable and unhesitant outburst, the Audio Director and the cameraman immediately focused on Yeorum in fright. The PD felt like there was a firework going off in his head. This might be the true start of today's interview.

"Ah, umm… in that case, let's start with Cadet Yeorum's interview first. How are you that strong?"

"I'm not that strong."

It was a question meant to make her feel good but what came back was an unexpected response. The PD gave an awkward smile.

"That's very modest of you. During yesterday's spar with Miss Ling Ling, there was footage of you swearing in anger, but that was because you were too stimulated by the fight, right?"

"Yes."

"Ahh, right. And I assume you didn't mean what you said when you were swearing?"

"I meant it. That fucking bitch started it first."

It was time. Something big was about to explode.

"That vile bitch. She's acting nice and all right now but inside the flame, that little thing swore at me saying she would rip me to pieces if we met outside. Who wouldn't get mad after that? Wouldn't you be mad as well, Mister Producer?"

Startled, the cameraman faced the camera at Ling Ling but she looked surprised and frustrated, as if she was being wrongly accused.

"I, I see. But Cadet Yeorum. Even though I understand you were irritated, swearing back isn't the ideal reaction of a responsible superhuman, right?"

"What you fucker."

"…!?"

"If you hear that, you wouldn't be in a good mood either, right?"

"…Haha."

It's flaring up a bit too much though… thinking that, the PD sweated.

"I see. By any chance, is there a cadet you are close with?"

"No."

"Then, what about someone you are acquainted with?"

"Hmm, her?"

Then Sophia, who was pointed by Yeorum, spoke in response with a playful voice, "I don't like her though?"

"I don't like you either, bitch."

After saying that, they seemed to have found it funny as both Yeorum and Sophia laughed out loud.

"In that case, is there a cadet in this place who you would consider a rival?"

Throwing a glance across the room, Yeorum spoke towards the camera with a serious look.

"None. They're all weaker than me."

Hearing that unconventional response, the camera swept past the cadets and filmed their ill-humoured expressions.

"During an interview that was carried out before the holiday, Cadet Zhou Luxun said that he would win against someone like Cadet Yu Yeorum. What do you say?"

While the smart-looking male cadet of Moonlight study group, Zhou Luxun sneered, Yeorum replied while picking her ears.

"To be honest, I would have won back then as well."

"Then what about now?"

"Who knows? Should we try it right now?"

The PD flickered his eyes. A comment like this was very good.

"Let me twist his head."

No, wait. It was over the top.

She was the personification of audacity. Her words that appeared to have no restriction caused the cadets to whisper among themselves while the guardians also turned rowdy in their seats.

"She's saying whatever she wants to…"

"Tch. Who does she think she is…?"

Yu Jitae ignored their words and their gazes. He wasn't interested in stopping Yeorum, nor was he planning to change others' perception of the situation. In fact, he found the situation to be slightly interesting.

But Professor Ha Yoon seemed to think otherwise.

"Mister Yu Jitae."

"Yes."

"Cadet Yeorum. I think she's very ill-mannered."

"I agree."

Taken aback, Ha Yoon glared at him.

"Shouldn't you stop her as the guardian? When the cadet is straying off the road on her own?"

"Hmm…"

"Can I say something as a professor? I understand that you prefer leaving her alone but if you leave her like that, the cadet will later resent their guardian."

Yu Jitae asked back in a sluggish voice.

"If the guardian stops them, does the cadet follow the guardian?"

"Sorry? Well… instead of saying that they'll follow the guardian, we could say that they'll start going on the correct path."

"What is the correct path."

"Becoming strong enough to protect others and being loved as a superhuman. Isn't that the objective of the cadets of Lair?"

He turned his head back to the cadets without saying anything in response. Thinking that her word had gone through, Professor Ha Yoon added.

"If the pedagogy of education is wrong, they have to go back to the start again. Cadet Yeorum's attitude is wrong. As the guardian, you need to hold her…"

Yu Jitae's gaze returned to her and he silently looked into Ha Yoon in her eyes in silence. He remained still for a long time.

Until he turned his head back to the front, Professor Ha Yoon couldn't even breathe. She couldn't get used to it no matter how many times she saw it – those eyes resembled a demon or a murderer's…

"Then, it's time for the last question. I can see that Cadet Yeorum is always full of confidence, but is there a reason behind that?"

"My guardian."

"Your guardian? Is your faith in your guardian that strong?"

"No? It's because my guardian is the strongest."

"…"

The cameraman shifted the focus to Yu Jitae, who looked back to the camera with an indifferent expression. Being a professional, the PD shared a joke with an awkward smile.

"Ahh I see. Is it like a fox carrying a tiger on the back? Like an ass in a lion's skin?"

"Hmm. That sounds about right."

She rather obediently nodded her head.

"And this here is a rabbit kingdom."

The PD pressed on his temples. He had no idea where to edit from and how much he had to edit.

At this point, other guardians were giving empty coughs to openly reveal their discomfort. Other cadets were also dumbfounded and flustered.

That was when Yeorum turned her head and glanced across the guardian seat.

"Why the heck are you coughing? Say something if you want to. Or do you unnis and oppas want to fight right now with my guardian?"

She then mischievously smiled.

"Your heads will be twisted though ♥"

That was the end of her interview.

Even after several internal discussions, there was no-one inside the PR team who retorted on the fact that the interview would entice attention from the public. Thus, the [Interview of 10 Top Rank Candidates] was uploaded in full with only her swear words being censored.

On the next day, Yeorum's fancafe, 'Crazy for Yeorum' was in a mess.

– Lolllllllll our Captain is crazy ♥

– Fuck kekekek. Feels good to have her back!

– Yeorum. Please twist my headd as well T.T

– I can't hear what she's saying with all the swear words filtered out.. Q.Q

ᄂYou can put the subtitles on now! I added them on!

ᄂThanks, but I don't think I need them T.T

– Woah… the guardian though, he looks really fucking scary;;

ᄂFor real;;; I would piss myself if I see him around the corner…

The shocking interview spread across the globe and Yeorum became a hot topic for unending discussions in several communities. Both inside and outside Lair, there was an increase of people that liked her for having a straightforward attitude, but there were also people that hated her for being undisciplined.

However, the person in question did not care about them.

"How was it? Was the interview okay?"

"Of course."

Yeorum was satisfied with one sentence from Yu Jitae.

As long as he was okay, nothing else mattered.

"Ahh I see. Is it like a fox carrying a tiger on the back? Like an ass in a lion's skin?"

can someone tell me what this phrase means?

RROBZMay 23, 2021 at 6:46 pm

I think the fox and tiger one is a Chinese proverb. The basic story is that the tiger catches the fox, but to save itself, the fox convinces the tiger to let it walk in a parade with all the other animals. All the other animals get scared and run away (because of the tiger, but the fox convinced the tiger they ran away because they are scared of the fox). So the tiger lets the fox in the end. Basically it means that a weaker person, by borrowing a stronger person's power, can accomplish things they could not otherwise.

The ass in a lion's skin in an Aesop tale. The ass finds a lion's skin in the wilderness (left by a hunter) and puts it on. All the other animals are scared and run away. The ass is so pleased with himself, that he runs forward and can't help but let out a loud bray. A fox who heard the ass stops running, turns around, and gives the moral – basically if the ass kept its mouth shut it would have been fine, but a fool will always reveal himself by his words.

Common element to both stories is the scaring of the other, smaller animals due to the power of a big predator that you are borrowing.

RAINMay 23, 2021 at 7:17 pm

So, how exactly does that relate to the moment in the story where it was mentioned?

thanks

LAZYGEKOMay 23, 2021 at 9:02 pm

Looking at it simply, the interviewer is just implying that she is only confident in speaking the way she does because of her backing.

Analyzing deeper, and this is just my interpretation based on the context and info rrobz provided, but the first one is implying she can say whatever she wants because her backing is the strongest. The second, I am a little unclear, but perhaps the interviewer is jabbing at her that she should be careful since even if she is borrowing the lion's(guardians) skin, she is still just a donkey/ass.

That is what I get from the situation at that time.

KANNA KANNAMay 23, 2021 at 7:23 pm

This story really blew up. 16 comments and the chapter only released several hours ago. Geez. Here's to hoping it doesn't get taken down by the author.

I know, hopefully it stays discreet and the author doesn't take it down

That is closer to my image of Yu Jitae aswell, the other illustrations make him balnder is a worse way. The way the illustrator managed to capture a nice balance between average looks, antipathy and killing intent is nice

Omg, I read this whole thing in 2 days!! Finally! I was finally able to find a novel that was just as interesting and engaging as Omniscient Reader Viewpoint.. I can't wait for more chapters

thanks for chap

'do you think I get angry all the time?' no but u do love doing so and having sh*t go down afterwards

wow that ling ling really was a beast huh?rather i feel mc should tell yeorum that ppl who fight honorably are rare lol

why do i get a feeling open hostility broke out between the beasts of Chinese team and the rest and now somehow yeorum will tell something that'll completely draw the aggro on her?

"do you think i'm angry all the time" the evidences points to yesss!!!!!

DRAKENSJIMay 22, 2021 at 12:35 pm

I think the problem wasn't the beast like fight, though it did piss off red, i think the misconduct was for trying to remove red's clothes, something that has no point in a fight, especially a duel

Lol another one calling the dragons by their colors cuz their names are hard… I'VE FOUND A COMRADE

The battle was awesome in another way than Jitae and Noah's. I wonder when Yeorum will catch up to Jitae

He can solo the whole dragon race, I don't think Yeorum gonna catch up to him anytime soon lol.

ZENOMay 22, 2021 at 6:40 am

Thanks for the chapter.

Would really love for the author to give more importance to the MC.

Like there's a demon among the cadets from Noblesse or China and he has to decide whether to get rid of the threat immediately to protect Yeorum or if he can first watch to see what his plan is…

Why the heck did she try and pull off her armour? Trying to embarrass her?

2CHUMay 22, 2021 at 5:04 pm

Probably to make her embarrassed or something. She might be trying to create some kind of opening to beat red. Underhanded but I guess effectiv
