18. Children’s Day Jamsil Baseball Stadium derby match (3)
“Ok, then shouldn’t we get going to conquer the otherworld?”
“What? I also have to go?”
“Yeah, you have to. Toyeon-ssi, you’re weaker than the Yong tribe, however you’re still much stronger than a human. You have a weapon card, right?”
“Ah, I don’t want to go… If Moon Rabbit Rice Cakes’ CEO conquers the otherworld, the articles will come out! And then I’ll be caught by Toyun unnie. But currently other Yong tribe members and powerful humans are away, so…”
Ok Toyeon hesitated, then quickly glanced at me and pursed her lips.
She nodded afterwards.
‘It seems she made up her mind because of me.’
I guess she was very thankful for rescuing Eun-ho’s descendants.
“Then we will fill the remaining power with people here. Let’s go, Wonu. The three of us, Toyeon-ssi, you and I are going to be the attack team.”
“Yes, teacher Yong Jegeon-nim.”
To Wonu nodded straight away.
It seems that my Playable Character is gonna look cool after a long time.
“If so, the five of you here are going to take the role of the defense team.”
“Ack? But the benefactor is… they’re young human kids! What take the role of the SR+++ rank otherworldly crack’s defense team! The TC and Ju-Oh came with their bodyguard teams here!”
Ok Toyeon opposed Yong Jegeon’s order.
Yong Jegeon looked up at us with a smiling face, which meaning I couldn’t read.
“We will have to talk a lot to move bodyguard teams, so it’d be annoying. Team leaders are stubborn and have to receive approval from their group’s next head, so that procedure will be complex. And it will take a long time to squeeze out a team.”
“It’d be annoying, so we’re going like this? Are you crazy?”
“Two among those students are Military Academy’s 1st place and 2nd place. Among the remaining three, one is our school’s 1st place, one is a student who made a name for himself as the 1st place’s rival during middle school and the remaining one is Unknown Supernova. There won’t be problems. If not for them being 1st years, it would be okay for them to go as an attack team.”
“Uuu…It may be so, but, um-um.”
Did Yong Jegeon identify everyone just like that?
There was an article about Military Academy’s 1st and 2nd place, so he could learn like that, I and, of course, Ju Su-hyeok were currently famous, but Maeng Hyodon made a name for himself during middle school.
My Playable Character has a good grasp on current affairs, huh?
I heard Maeng Hyodon’s and Ju Su-hyeok’s whispers.
“Who is that man? Is he a teacher?”
“He isn’t a man. He is a Jin from the Yong tribe. He is a teacher at our school.”
“Why is the Yong tribe member acting as a teacher? He is a Jin, why?”
“Hahaha, well…”
There are Jin people not only among teachers.
Because even in our 1st year class 0 there is Ho tribe’s head playing the role of a student.
“Namuk, we’re going to fight. Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m okay. I can fight. I took deep breaths for a bit.”
When we all stood up from our seats with Jang Namuk as the last one.
⟨Warning. Enemy approaching.⟩
I heard the system sound and soon the audience’s screams and an Enemy’s roar spread out.
Keuurk–!
“Enemy! A flying type Enemy appeared!”
“Th-this quickly…!”
The otherworld which formed at the Jamsil baseball stadium’s middle entrance, it was a tower of SR+++ rank conquest difficulty.
I guess that as it formed as a tower, Enemies will come from everywhere.
The faster than normal speed of Enemy formation would be also one of Dark Mastermind’s arrangements.
‘The speed of forming Enemies outside of the otherworld which appeared last is faster, huh? It’s to cause many more casualties before the Association’s support comes…!’
Flying type Enemy flew right above the middle seats.
“This otherworldly crack has an unusually fast speed of Enemy summoning.”
Above SR rank Flying species Enemy flapped its enormous wings as it prepared to use a skill.
Yong Jegeon stared at the Enemy with displeased eyes.
“Trying to ruin the human’s festival. Not cool.”
After Yong Jegeon raised his hand into the air, glowing space completely enveloped the Flying Enemy.
Paaa—.
“It’s not something worthy for human children to see.”
Pat!
After Yong Jegeon snapped his fingers once, the space turned blue like the sky.
The inside couldn’t be seen from then.
“Disappear.”
When Yong Jegeon clenched his fist, the superpower wave spread out with him in the center.
Paaaaa—!
When the supernatural wave stopped, the Enemy wrapped in the blue space disappeared without a trace.
The audience was confused, but those of Players who sensed the process were astonished.
‘I didn’t hear the sound of the Enemy’s scream or destruction. He had to completely seal off the space so even the sound was blocked.’
It was outside of school.
Teacher contract made with Hwang Jiho didn’t apply, so I guess Yong Jegeon was displaying his power generously.
“Then let’s get going. I’m going to repeat. The attack team is Toyeon-ssi, Wonu and me. The defense team is Sihu, Namuk, Su-hyeok, Hyodon and Uisin. I’ll be in charge of movement. I’ll also control part of space to block it with a barrier using the Space Art as we move. With such a barrier there won’t be any problems.”
“Yong Jegeon, you’re still strong. I don’t know why someone with such power acts as a teacher under Hwang-ho!”
Yong Jegeon just smiled without answering Ok Toyeon’s words and flew into the sky.
With a wave of Yong Jegeon’s hand, shining space enveloped us.
“Ooo, it feels amazing!”
“Space Art and Flight…! You can even apply it in such a way, huh?”
Maeng Hyodon and Ju Su-hyeok looked not worried at all.
“Why does everyone look relaxed…! Isn’t it really bad? It’s a SR++ rank otherworldly crack. Outside of it usually form Enemies from the range between SR– to SR+ rank!”
“Hahaha. Namuk, relax. Just think about it like a basketball game.”
“How can you possibly think about it like that? Then you do it somehow!”
“Ok, done.”
We had to face unexpected Enemies, but it seemed no one beside Jang Namuk was agitated.
To Sihu was talking to him at the side, but his face was still stiff.
In fact, Jang Namuk’s reaction was normal. It was strange for 1st year highschoolers to face SR++ rank otherworld so calmly.
“I contacted other Yong tribe members and the Red Lion. When they finish the conquest, they will join us here straight away. Think about it as buying time and take it easy.”
“Be careful, 1st years.”
“Um-um, don’t get hurt! Damn it, if we conquer it quickly, there won’t be a situation where the defense team gets hurt. Let’s go!”
“Yes, teacher Yong Jegeon-nim. Wonu hyung and… and also Moon Rabbit Rice Cake’s CEO-nim, be careful.”
“Wonu hyung, stay safe!”
The three people who took the role of the attack team walked towards the otherworldly crack.
Ju Su-hyeok and To Sihu exchanged goodbyes as representatives, and we gave light nods.
“Hey, then let’s talk about our skills and Gwangrims, the things we can reveal.”
“It seems we will be able to endure even without using Gwangrims until the attack team of Red Lion or Yong tribe returns. We should save it to prepare for any possibilities.”
“Right. If so, let’s not use Gwangrims. So we won’t happen to have no strength left in case when a fourth otherworld opens. But please tell me what skills you’re going to use and roughly what type is your Gwangrim.”
Ju Su-hyeok and I formulated a plan.
Other kids only listened to our two’s conversation, and convinced they nodded their heads.
That was the result:
Ju Su-hyeok: Twin Swords, Gwangrim: Attack type.
Maeng Hyodon: Fight, Gwangrim: Attack and Capture type.
Jang Namuk: Spear, Gwangrim: Support type.
To Sihu: Electro Art, Gwangrim: Somehow Attack type, and Capture type.
Me: Use of Everything, Gwangrim: Attack type.
‘To be precise my Gwangrim is All-round type, but let’s say it like that this time.’
To Sihu described his Gwangrim as ‘somehow’, but as if it really looked to be ‘somehow’ an attacking type, Jang Namuk kept his mouth shut.
After we quickly organized the formation, we materialized personal or received from school weapons and waited at our positions.
‘I should prepare for any possible events, so let’s check the situation inside the stadium.’
If something happens, I thought about blocking it even if that meant going alone.
I connected to the stadium live broadcast channel with an earring and listened to the broadcast with an audio mode.
The baseball game broadcast turned into a disaster broadcast.
[Third otherworld appeared. This otherworld is also SR++ rank. This is the current situation.]
[PlayerSAT-K failed to detect SR rank otherworlds three times? I can’t believe it. This is the first time something like this happened after the Manchester Great Conquest.]
[There are still many unexplained parts about otherworlds. Of all things, today, when many people visit Jamsil including children, such a thing happens. It’s unbelievable.]
The voices of the commentator and news broadcaster trembled a bit.
[We are doing our best to convey the current situation on the stadium. We’ll continue to inform you now.]
[Yes. Everyone in the audience, please unfold holograms and check the broadcast.]
[We’re resuming, so we will give you the video of the situation around the stadium.]
[Currently all exits leading outside are blocked, while the restaurants and shops operators outside and majority of the staff that was behind the audience seats evacuated.]
[Yes, except for the minimum staff to maintain the announcements and broadcasts with us in charge of stadium announcements, we’re all inside the stands.]
Everyone’s evacuation was safely completed, huh?
As if it was a perfect evacuation training, even looking outside, shuttles everywhere were descending in order.
‘The people in charge of the broadcast remained here once again, huh…’
Even in the game, they were the people who didn’t evacuate and were operating a guidance broadcast, then they died awfully when the behind-the-stands area was pierced.
[We will repeat it again, but absolutely never try to leave by force. We all received satellite warnings. Not all Enemies were subjugated yet.]
[Yes. Even if you by chance possess a Flight item, never attempt to escape by force. Even if you do leave, you will have to pierce a R+++ rank barrier to do that.]
[Right. Enemies also possess long-range attack skills and it is possible you will be detected by a Flying species Enemy and be shot down. Even just now, a Flying type Enemy appeared. Don’t forget we’re facing SR rank Enemies.]
[Think about using Flight and Movement items to escape only in really the last and worst case scenario.]
⟨Warning, Enemy approaching⟩
“Coming.”
Hearing the system message, I notified the surroundings straight away.
“I’ll be in charge of Enemy detection. If attribute attacks are possible, either me or To Sihu will do.”
“Okay!”
“Got it.”
We took out our items and took battle stances.
Soon an Enemy silhouette came into view close to the otherworldly crack which occurred.
Kuuooo…
I saw the Enemy take on dark black and unstable form.
To be precise, its shape was similar to a dragon.
If so, it was a Reflection category Enemy, which formed its substance to resemble the thoughts of the surrounding it faced.
As the people in this baseball stadium thought about the Yong tribe the most, it took on such a shape.
⟨Reading ‘Reflecteenvi’ Enemy’s data.⟩
[Enemy name] Reflecteenvi
[Rarity] SR–
[Title] Reflection category Specter species
[Blessing] None
[Status] Normal
[Overall stats] Lv. 35
[Skills]
Reflection of Self Creation Lv. 1
Signal in the Darkness Lv. 4
[Description]
Darkness attribute Enemy attracted and created in an otherworld which formed because of ‘Summoning of an Otherworld’ on Jamsil Baseball Stadium on 5th May.
Perhaps because it didn’t have a blessing and had a special attribute, its overall stats were low in comparison to Rinoseron no. 13.
‘Like during the entrance exam, there is a gap between our overall statistics level. However, unlike that time, I have a high rarity weapon and an attribute attack is possible. I can bring it down…!’
After checking Enemy data I shouted:
“We’re facing a SR– rank Reflection category Specter species Enemy, Reflecteenvi. Overall stats are 35. Compared to its rarity, its statistics are low, but physical attribute attacks are almost impossible to block.”
“Reflecteenvi is the Darkness attribute. It’s not so much like the Light attribute, but Electro attack will block it. I’ll take it.”
To Sihu made an attack motion straight away.
In To Sihu’s hand was an SSR rank Electro Art supporter item, which when equipped reinforced Electro Art casting speed, scope and power.
The effects of equipment special skills were insignificant, so people often said it doesn’t matter if you wear it or not, but the story was different if it was a SSR rank.
It was equipment worthy of the child of chaebol.
Craaaack–!
After considering a Specter species Enemy’s movement scope and gathering as much power as he could gather, the Electro Art exploded on the abdomen which was estimated to be its vital point.
As if it took valid damage, the Enemy let out a scream.
Kuuoooo—!
“Oh, it took damage, but it seems it will last a little longer. Hahaha.”
“I’ll also go. Jang Namuk, from now on you’re in charge of monitoring.”
“O-Okay.”
The most stiff among the five of us, Jang Namuk, took on the role of monitoring and materialized a card.
Ju Su-hyeok also possessed a Detection category skill, however if the current Jang Namuk took on defense or attack role, he would get hurt, so I wanted him to take the rear.
‘Is it because during the entrance exam he wasn’t directly in charge of the attack? He wouldn’t be so nervous otherwise. Actually, it’s not like Jang Namuk is a scaredy-cat, it’s just a common reaction.’
Also Jang Namuk may be worried when he can’t do anything.
⟨Skill ‘Use of Everything’ activated.⟩
To respond with a matching attribute, I had yet to grab a weapon.
The SR rank item I chose was ‘Rod containing Light left by the Prophet’.
‘Let’s use the most powerful magic among the ones I can cast within 3 minutes.’
I moved the rod while waiting for the mana flow to change.
⟨Warning, Enemy ‘Reflecteenvi’ is about to use the skill ‘Signal in the Darkness’.⟩
When I looked back, Reflecteenvi was staring at me.
To Sihu was preparing to use Electro Art but as he shoots without a break, it will take more time until he gathers enough power to block SR– rank Enemy’s skill.
“The Enemy’s skill is going towards Uisin!”
I heard Jang Namuk’s voice.
Specter species Enemy, Reflecteenvi, already got in front of me.
However I didn’t stop casting.

This translator feels terrible about chapters without any footnotes, so here is a random footnote!
[???] Yong Jegeon’s speech tone – Yong Jegeon is using the honorific ‘ssi’ for Ok Toyeon, but he is using a casual tone. She also uses a casual tone towards him. Yong Jegeon also uses a formal, polite tone towards Cheongryong (the head of the Yong tribe). Actually, it is safe to assume that tribe members will use polite tone towards the heads of their tribes. Baek-ho who speaks to Hwang-ho casually is rather unusual (but normal, considering their history).
Translator’s note: I think I’m suffering some mental damage when I write ‘To Wonu’. Let’s hope I will gain immunity in the future.
