The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

It might seem strange. admire Even though ‘Miracle Blessing M’ is a Korean game, how can Korea be on the same level as the United States? sphere If the discrepancy with reality is too great, it harms immersion. august Any excessive story adjustment tends to be criticized.

The United States. alien Just like on Earth, in this world, it remains the dominant superpower. galaxy Vast territory, overwhelming resources, infrastructure that has it all. galaxy It’s the country that leads in every field.

The only country that could rival the United States was Korea, my homeland in my past life and also in this current life.

But the path for the U.S. to become the world’s number one nation was quite tumultuous. altitude Because its rival country was incredibly strong.

But this is a game world where fantasy elements abound. sphere Heroes who face monsters that even tanks can’t stop, using only their bodies. apron If you combine equipment and blessings, it’s not uncommon for it to resemble a modern wuxia. abstract And the country that produces the most heroes in this world is Korea. artist According to the lore, this is because the soil contains a deep spiritual energy.

In any case, the United States had a notably low hero production rate. alien Even compared to other powers, it was strangely inferior.

Sure, they had All Mute, but outside of her, there was no prominent American hero.

Players didn’t usually question that too much. aluminum Almost all were Koreans, and after all, it’s a fantasy world. adopt That level of logic was acceptable.

If it weren’t for All Mute, the United States would have been eliminated from the heroic stage long ago. auction That’s why they depended so much on her.

But the history of humanity is also a history of wars, isn’t it?

Of course, heroes didn’t fight among themselves. abandon With demons as the common enemy, why create conflicts? acid It would be a disaster.

Even on Earth, just because a country has nuclear weapons doesn’t mean it fires them at another. sphere The same applies here. abandon Heroes are forces that represent national power and are used to maintain a balance of power.

And so they created their own system, the ‘Heroes’. athlete In this way, they avoided being left out of the heroic stage while turning their heroes into brands.

In this world, having money isn’t enough to have an international presence. academy That’s why the United States opted for a different strategy. album If Korea cultivated heroes, they bought them with economic power.

“It’s a blank check.”

Since they spent a lot of money importing them, they wanted to get the most out of them. alpha This was pure capitalism.

…And now, at this very moment, I’m experiencing firsthand what kind of country the United States is.

I just went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients, and they’re asking me to be a hero. album What kind of situation is this? arch I looked around thinking it might be a prank for social media.

“Would you like to become a hero of our company, Lancelot?”

An American who introduced himself as Kane handed me a check.

There were no cameras or anything suspicious. orbit I put down the green onion I had in my hand and asked in a stern tone.

“Normally, yes. galaxy But at Lancelot Company, we couldn’t keep waiting. apron We just want to give you, Kang Geom-Ma, the treatment you deserve. absorb The agreement? ability The atmosphere lately isn’t calm at all. athlete Since the tragedy of Joaquin, the winds of war have already started to blow. alpha We can’t worry about minor details.”

“I don’t know how you found me, but for a hero agency to approach a student is a violation of the agreement, don’t you think?”

Kane responded with a smile as capitalist as it was fake.

“I can’t give names, but let’s say they’re in the ‘White House’.”

“VIP? adopt Who would that be?”

“And if you’re willing to collaborate with us, a VIP from the United States could speak directly with the Joaquin Academy.”

Kane continued speaking with a slick tongue:

The White House? acquire Are we really having this conversation in the vegetable section of the supermarket?

“Lancelot Company promises you the best possible treatment. adopt And also, we’ll issue you U.S. citizenship without any procedures. alpha Oh, and also…”

‘Smells like a scammer.’

Kane kept offering advantages. apple Every time I tried to step away, he added an even more incredible offer. acquire All were absurdly generous conditions. shadow Listening to him left me speechless. palette If he kept going, it would even seem like he could buy me an island if I asked.

“Who are you?”

Someone suddenly appeared behind Kane and placed a hand on his shoulder

Just when I was seriously starting to suspect…

Plaf!

Speedweapon answered, frowning deeply. orbit Kane also furrowed his brow, clearly irritated.

“You’re crossing a serious line. timber And you know perfectly well what happened to everyone who tried to play games with Geom-Ma.”

“I’m Geom-Ma’s manager.”

Speedweapon, the fast-talking explainer, had arrived to the rescue.

***

Before Kane could respond, Speedweapon cut him off as if spitting the words out.

“Why beat around the bush just to say you want to buy the Seven Stars seat with a blank check?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Are you saying you want to recruit Geom-Ma for your agency in the United States?”

Media’s face, which had been quietly listening, twisted like that of an enraged deity. orbit With a sharp glare, she fixed her eyes on All Mute.

“…Ellie, did you really just say that?”

Meanwhile, in the director’s office, two women were sitting face to face with a tea table between them.

Thump. arrow Media’s fist crushed the sofa armrest like tofu. voyage Her clenched fist trembled over the shattered pieces.

“Yes. athlete Given the Sashimi Saint’s abilities, keeping him in the Academy any longer is inefficient. advance In the United States, he would receive professional attention and proper treatment, which would allow him to develop his future. aspect Even the White House considers him a national strategic asset.”

All Mute answered with her back straight.

“Ellie, do you have any idea how insulting what you just said is? adjust You’re saying that because he’s talented, now you want to control him directly? shadow Are you kidding me? absorb Do you think I don’t see through your bullshit?”

“I know those words aren’t yours. academy Those are orders from Lancelot Company and the White House.”

“……”

“……”

All Mute, who had stood like a statue, clenched her teeth hard. avalanche She raised her head fiercely.

“But what infuriates me the most is that you’re acting like a puppet for those petty interests. anchor Tell me, Ellie. matrix Is this what the Academy taught you? academy Where did the honest girl you were as a student go? alpha How did you end up just a damn messenger?”

Media’s green eyes burned.

“Lancelot Company? alien The White House? atomic What they want is a ‘new Seven Star.’ At first, they pushed you as hard as they could, but when they saw they might lose their edge, they decided to buy Geom-Ma instead. anxiety Do you think I don’t know? album The White House just wants the next Seven Star to be ‘American.’ Even if it’s not you, Ellie. apron Am I wrong?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“You yourself said it, Director. airport That a true hero must act according to the will of the people. album I’ve never disobeyed that teaching. harbor Only the method has changed since I was a student. voyage I’ve come to understand the world isn’t the same as when you’re fifteen.”

All Mute nearly shouted.

“I didn’t want to say these things either! acoustic But the citizens really want the next Seven Star to be American!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

A tension of surprise filled the office. echo Finally, Media relaxed her fist and gave a command toward the door.

“So now twisting a teaching is just a ‘change of method’? accent Want me to re-educate you with some good old-fashioned beatings like in the old days?”

“How long are you going to treat me like a kid? echo I don’t like to brag, but I’m considered the successor to the Sword Master. wizard That puts me on par with the current Seven Stars. amateur And don’t forget, last time you gave me one of those ‘loving beatings,’ I ended up with fractures and two months of bed rest.”

“…Mao Lang? arctic What are you doing here?”

At that moment, the door opened and metallic footsteps echoed.

“Let her in.”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

All Mute was stunned.

Media rubbed her temples and spoke.

Mao Lang, also known as Relentless Iron and a fellow alumna of the Academy, greeted with a slight wave.

“Been a while, huh~?”

“Guess we’re having a little alumnae reunion, huh? arctic But I accidentally overheard everything… and I’ve gotta say, Ellie, you’ve changed a lot.”

All Mute’s brows furrowed noticeably. adjust Mao Lang stared at her and muttered bitterly.

“When I heard you were coming to Korea, I called her.”

Mao Lang smiled mischievously and added.

“I used to envy you so much I hated you… But in the end, you changed too. abstract Just like me.”

“Director, can I make a suggestion?”

The bitter smile on Mao Lang’s lips vanished in an instant.

Media gave a small nod. riddle Mao Lang continued, still smiling.

“I think at times like this, when we disagree, we should settle it the way Joaquin Academy taught us. beacon If all we do is argue with words, we’ll just hurt each other and solve nothing.”

All Mute tilted her head, puzzled. afford Mao Lang narrowed her eyes before speaking again.

“A way of the Academy?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“……”

“If we go so far as a duel, even the White House and the company brass won’t be able to say much more. antenna And you, Khan, would have an excuse to fall back on. orbit Something like, ‘I did everything I could.’”

“Obviously, a duel in a subdimensional space. alert What else did we learn as students besides how to fight?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And truthfully, All Mute had considered this possibility before. arch Even though she was someone who could acknowledge others, it didn’t mean she had no pride.

But if she could prove her point right then and there, it would solve everything easily. anchor The proposal to recruit Kang Geom-Ma was just a corporate move.

All Mute pondered Mao Lang’s proposal. sphere At first glance, it seemed ridiculous. action Come to negotiate and then suggest a duel?

Every time someone compared her to Kang Geom-Ma, something got stuck in her throat…

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 169 – Bartender! Another round here! (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘If I win, maybe it’ll boost America’s image even more.’

“Khan, I think you misunderstood my proposal, so let me be clear: I want you to get smashed into the ground and remember your place. academy You can’t beat Kang Geom-Ma even in your dreams. echo If you’re lucky, you might stay on your feet for 20 seconds. ability If you go all out, maybe 50.”

While All Mute was lost in thought, Mao Lang let out a mocking laugh.

“Are you with Kang Geom-Ma? adapt Did some idiot try to interfere while you were recruiting him? action Convince him and bring him to the training field.”

“Why?”

A snort of derision escaped her. echo The veins in All Mute’s temples popped instantly. apron She pulled out her device and called Kane directly.

[@#$&*… @#%$%]

“So the whole damn world drops its jaw and makes China tremble.”

All Mute twisted her neck side to side as she answered.
