[Chapter 202]
[Foundation of a Monarch(5)]
Twelve Seats
He was a person who retained a child's body for life due to vast mana.
On the other hand, due to his immense abilities, in Eun-ha's memories from before the regression, he was confined in the library until his death.
His merits were enough to be recognized as a living legend, but his abilities were so great that he was treated poorly.
Manager of the Player Library.
No, slave.
He lived confined in the library except for 5 days a month.
And before the regression, Yoon Seong-jin ends up being excluded from the Twelve Seats in the process of dissolving the 2nd generation Twelve Seats.
The Fairy Government, having experienced several disasters, decided to add players who could be deployed to the field in crisis situations to strengthen the Twelve Seats' influence.
Yoon Seong-jin, who only worked in the library without wielding Twelve Seats authority, had to be moved to a separate position.
He had no right of refusal.
Human rights aren't the top priority in the face of national crisis.
If
Though he harbored all sorts of complaints, he faithfully carried out his assigned work.
Jokingly─.
─They said even if
Such words circulated.
But in other words,
Though he was dissatisfied with his treatment, he had a heart for this country.
On the other hand, Eun-ha had asked him before the regression to support 2nd Fairy Ha Baek-ryeon.
Of course, he didn't listen.
At that time,
He seemed to have festered while caring for this country but not the secular world.
In the end, Eun-ha couldn't make
If he had made him his ally, the direction of power might have changed greatly.
Nevertheless─.
─The core of everything I'm thinking depends on
I have to persuade
Despite being rejected in the previous life.
Eun-ha was determined to persuade him somehow.
Fortunately, the situation was good.
Because she was
Thanks to this, Eun-ha could easily meet
"─He looks quite scrawny to be Ha-yang's husband. To think such a guy is this country's hero, the world must be ending. Well, what's your reason for wanting to see me?"
"I came because I have a request for
But Eun-ha, who had been rejected by him before the regression, realized his attitude was mild.
I can try to persuade him.
Judging so, Eun-ha persuaded

[The communication isn't bad, so I don't know why you're pretending not to hear. I'll say it again. I said I'll succeed all the official positions that Baek Seo-jin guy holds.]
And so on the day of the Mana Management Organization meeting.
He made
☆
Manager of the Player Library.
Everyone in the conference room had greatly flustered expressions.
[In the time I haven't seen them, they've all aged into hunched grandpas.]
They were officials who had gone through all sorts of hardships to come to this place.
As such, they were skilled at hiding their expressions.
But even they couldn't have calm faces seeing
Fairy Lim Ga-eul.
Bodyguard Lee Jung-hyun.
The four people also had clearly surprised looks with wide eyes.
That's how unexpected
[But these guys have no manners. Or are they trying to treat me like I'm not there because I'm not there now? Then I'll have to personally leave the library and go meet you.]
""""...!!""""
"Please wait,
""""We're really sorry!!""""
The Fairy jumped up from her seat.
She bowed her head to him.
Then she glared at the dazed officials with sharp eyes.
The officials also hurriedly stood up and bent at right angles.
Though
Perhaps after
The most necessary gifts for this country are
So the Fairy showed courtesy to
Originally, in terms of experience or merits, there was only 1 person in this place who could be
"─Seong-jin, why are you attending a meeting you weren't interested in?"
[It's not that I wasn't interested. It's because I wasn't in a situation where I could attend meetings. Baek Seo-jin, how about we speak properly?]
""""...."""
He was the only one who didn't bow his head and faced
Yoon Seong-jin didn't seem to mind.
Rather, he buried his back in the sofa and even pulled his head back.
Behind him, a rabbit standing on two legs could be seen transporting books.
"Just finish your work."
[Why is this my work? My work now is becoming your successor.]
"Stop the unfunny jokes."
[Shall I show you what a real joke is? Should I just destroy the library?]
[Ah!
"..."
Yoon Seong-jin snatched and threw away a book the white rabbit was trying to transport.
The rabbit was flustered.
Yoon Seong-jin smiled.
Just with that, Baek Seo-jin and the officials couldn't say anything more.
Though Yoon Seong-jin did it as a joke, if he made up his mind, a worse situation than this could occur.
"What do you want?"
[Your position.]
"I know well that my position is an excuse. What do you want that you're suddenly trying to cause such a ruckus?"
[I guess puberty came late.]
In the end, Baek Seo-jin changed his approach.
He approached in a way of persuading Yoon Seong-jin.
Of course, it didn't work at all.
[If you're asking what I want, there is something. I'd like you to free me from the library now. Baek Seo-jin and you officials seem excited preparing for retirement, but what am I, of the same generation as you, still doing here?]
Yoon Seong-jin sneered.
No one could answer.
If they had any conscience, it was right that they couldn't say anything.
To this, Yoon Seong-jin continued speaking while mocking them.
[But I know well how important my work is for this country. So I want to compromise with you and work outside the library now.]
""""...."""
[Twelve Seats head, Mana Management Organization Minister. Hand over those two positions, you guys.]
People realized he wasn't joking.
Bewilderment settled on their faces.
At that moment, Lim Ga-eul carefully said.
"But
[Who said to stop the library? Don't you have any thoughts of finding my replacement if I become Twelve Seats head?]
"Someone to replace
[Reading the report on the Uijeongbu Recapture War coming up this time, there were quite a lot of kids who work well. Can't you just leave the work to them?]
"
Assuming a month is 30 days.
The library was operated in a format where Index worked 25 days, and 5 other managers worked one day each in rotation.
But for the library to function normally, it was better for one manager to continue working.
The 5 days without Yoon Seong-jin, the library would make noise or take a long time to update information.
The moment the manager changes, you have to get manager proxy approval from those rabbits over there....
That structure takes an incredibly long time to process, probably.
So having multiple managers for the library was very cumbersome and inconvenient.
Lim Ga-eul spoke of that problem.
If he becomes Twelve Seats head, naturally they'd have to find someone to replace the 25 days, which means they'd have to find 25 navigators.
I was expecting this.
Of course, Eun-ha was expecting it.
Therefore, he wasn't surprised even hearing what
[There's .]
"What?"
[That kid seems to be used like a slave in the Mana Management Organization, how about putting her in the library while we're at it.]
""""...!!""""
[I know 's skills. She's a bit clumsy but there's no problem with her as talent to replace me. Now that she's no longer Dangun Clan's person, there won't be any criticism either.]
"T-That's..."
[Lim Ga-eul.]
"...Yes,
[Don't roll your eyes. I can hear the sound of your eyes rolling all the way to the library. Yes, with your personality, you probably assigned a lot of work to . So you're probably thinking it's a shame to give her up now.]
""""...."""
[I'll do that work. It won't be a problem for me to cover 's work with my abilities. I'm handling even more work for 25 days straight after all.]
"But
[She can't do it. Only I can endure 25 days. No, there is one more person but let's pass over that pitiful one. But someone like should be able to endure 20 days.]
""""...."""
[So can't you just supplement personnel and operate the library for the rest? I know the library was recently updated by Pine Group, simplifying the manager approval process? The library's operating speed won't be slow either.]
Twelve Seats Mo Ra-yul.
Eun-ha was grateful to her.
Thanks to her working as a slave of the Mana Management Organization, he was able to persuade
I'm so glad I kept Mo Ra-yul alive.
If her crime had been chosen as the death penalty instead of forced labor in the Seoul Disaster, it would have been impossible to persuade
Moreover─.
[─Of course, it's a bit much for me to keep doing 's work while being Twelve Seats head. It would be good to find a successor for 's existing work and assign it.]
"
[There's a kid named Yoon I-byeol in the Control Bureau at Mana Management Organization headquarters.]
"What?"
[I saw a report that kid uploaded to the library before, and I liked it. She seems to handle work well too.... She's probably 5th grade now. Looking at her contributions in this Uijeongbu Recapture War, she'll likely become 4th grade.... Her current position should be Control Bureau officer.]
"Why that kid..."
[Appoint that kid as controller. Though she's young, she works well so it should be fine to entrust her as controller. Then 's position will be resolved.]
"
[Though they're the same rank, isn't the bureau director higher in experience? Then what's the problem.]
""""...."""
[Promote her 2 ranks. No, 1 rank is fine too. Then I'll teach her the qualities of a controller, and promote her 1 more rank after a year.]
Eun-ha's last card to persuade
Yoon I-byeol, who didn't have an epithet in this life but was called
Thanks to her working in the Mana Management Organization, Eun-ha was able to find
can take over the library, and I-byeol can take over the controller position was holding.
Yoon I-byeol's rank was low.
But her skills were standing out in the organization.
Even
I-byeol will be promoted to controller at lightning speed at just 25 years old.
The atmosphere changed a lot.
People couldn't oppose when
Eun-ha smiled while congratulating Yoon I-byeol's promotion.
It was right at that moment.
"─Yes, then you can replace my position, Seong-jin."
Baek Seo-jin opened his mouth.
He spoke glaring at Index.
At the same time, his gaze pierced towards Eun-ha.
"─But how will you replace the position of
""""...."""
There was still one problem left.
The person managing this country's darkness had to be included in the Twelve Seats.
But he was a person with no relation to darkness at all.
To this,
[─That's not my business.]
""""...!!""""
[Why don't you listen to the Pandora Clan Lord's story about that instead of me.]
He pointed at Noh Eun-ha below the screen.
People's gazes focused on Eun-ha.
Eun-ha finally spoke.
"─There happens to be one more person besides
""""...."""
"A shadow who caught
At that moment, the shadow moved.
Eun-ha's shadow changed three-dimensionally and took human form.
People were startled by the man who suddenly appeared without any presence.
Even
Their faces hardened.
"I recommend player

Pandora Clan
Previously, Baek Seo-jin's
He was Eun-ha's last card.

Meanwhile, at the 3rd generation Twelve Seats selection.
"Not only a telepathist, but also covering hunter..."
"Don't think about fighting. Please, please don't think about rushing into the arena. Remember the Fairy said she would reform the Twelve Seats, please."
"Hey, can't I just watch? I'm not going in, I have thoughts too."
"I thought you only had a head, but fortunately there were thoughts in it too."
Ignoring
Kang Hyeon-cheol focused on one player.
He was a player Kang Hyeon-cheol knew too.
But it was the first time he directly confirmed his skills like this.
"Eins have good bodies, so there's no one who can match them in martial arts. But that guy... He's the real deal among them."
Jin Pa-rang was fighting candidates who applied for the same division.
Naturally, the navigators who are relatively weak in combat are falling out.
Even telepathists weren't
Even telepathists weren't much of a match for Jin Pa-rang.
In this test, Jin Pa-rang was receiving a score close to perfect.
Of course, when combined with other scores, his ranking would likely drop.
However─.
"─What would happen if I give him extra points? Hye-rim, you'll give him points too, right? No, you should."
"I was going to anyway."
Among those who could evaluate candidates.
There were also Twelve Seats members.
The Twelve Seats members appointed to the 3rd generation first wanted to select people who would work well with them if possible.
So Kang Hyeon-cheol decided to cast one vote for Jin Pa-rang.
"He's from the same department as me. To think Pandora Clan had such a guy."
"Please don't say such horrible things."
Park Hye-rim also cast one vote.
Other Twelve Seats members also brightened their eyes after confirming Jin Pa-rang's skills.
"That Pa-rang, he seems like he'd do well if he doesn't act up."
He smiled bitterly.
"I owe Pandora Clan an elixir debt, so I should give him a good score."
She was busy eating a sausage.
"There hasn't been anyone notable among telepathists since
He evaluated as objectively as possible.
"It's nice to see him working hard."
"Though it's worrying that he resembles Hyeon-cheol, it would be good to have a Twelve Seats capable of combat."
Thus, somehow all the Twelve Seats present ended up giving Jin Pa-rang extra points.
That was the end of it.
Jin Pa-rang was confirmed as a member of the 3rd generation Twelve Seats.
