Chapter 73: This Is Discrimination



“Your Majesty, have you arrived?”

The ones preparing for the graduation ceremony are Queen Beatrice and Yappy. They were in charge of the whole process of the graduation ceremony for the second batch of recruits.

“Did you come back late last night? Did you finish the test raid well?”

“Yes, it was Orc Gate. The second batch of recruits also passed the test brilliantly. But…”

“But?”

Beatrice whispered in Leon’s ear with a slightly awkward expression.

“Sir Yappy was quite ruthless in dealing with the orcs. Some of the recruits were scared.”

“Hmm… I see. But, it’s not a problem. If it’s not inefficient enough to discuss, isn’t it natural to be angry at the beasts?”

“That makes sense.”

Beatrice compared the orcs to demons and immediately agreed.

“We decided to simplify the graduation ceremony and leave the progress to Sir Yappy.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay for you to do it?”

“If I do it, the trainees will… be in a difficult situation.”

Beatrice smiled bitterly behind the veil and Leon nodded silently.

She certainly had a charm that contained the essence of corruption, and she could seduce people with just her breath.

Even if she covered her face with a veil, if she encouraged the soldiers from a close distance, their will would be broken.

“Lord Spinner will do well.”

A week ago, he said that some kind of war fund or something had collapsed due to the war, but it seems that he has recovered since he didn’t hear about it again.

Leon had also been a resident of this Earth, but he lived in a time that was far from finance. The financial crisis he remembered was the IMF at best. Do I need to say more?

Leon looked at Yappy, who was pinning badges on the second batch of recruits at the graduation ceremony, and shrugged his shoulders.

“I guess Lord Spinner is more adapted to Earth than me.”

“Your Majesty, wouldn’t you have adapted less than me?”

“Why do you say that? I came here two months earlier than you.”

Beatrice smiled and showed him a rollable smartphone. It was the latest rollable smartphone. He couldn’t even adapt to a touch-type smartphone and made Ha-ri hold his phone for him so he had no choice but to envy Beatrice.

“You seem to have adapted quickly. I’m relieved. You’re better than me.”

“How can I be better than you when you’re trying to adapt yourself to Earth?”

Leon took the rollable smartphone from Beatrice and shook his head, wondering how he could use this thing to surf the internet and watch videos.

“What about Lord Spinner?”

“He said it was too primitive a communication tool and hacked into the communication station.”

“…I wonder if this is compatible with justice.”

He also made an illegal modification of the Wi-Fi amplifier installed in the TTG Guild headquarters. It seemed that it was quite rumored among tourists.

“By the way, what happened to ‘that guy’?”

“He’s still being silent but he’s holding on pretty well. It’s thanks to the remaining power of the evil god.”

“If you need it, I’ll help you. How can he stand it if you peel off his face?”

Beatrice shook her head politely and refused.

“I can’t ask such a thing from an honorable knight so I’ll do the dirty work since I’m surprisingly good at it but I promise you that I will obtain valuable information from that thing.”

The Queen of Magic did not bother to say how creepy the process would be.

“It’s a shame that I can’t watch it.”

She laughed sinisterly and Leon also laughed as if answering.

The laughter of the two sounded so wicked that it was scary to see.

The Dragon Palace appeared.

Unlike the gates on land, when a dungeon break occurs in the sea, it is almost impossible to solve.

No matter how powerful a hunter is, he has activity restrictions in the sea.

And if you think about marine life contaminated by miasma, it’s hard to solve the aftermath of a dungeon break.

That’s why the Hunter Association has the right to urgently conscript powerful hunters when a sea gate is confirmed.

“Have you arrived, Hunter Lee Yong-wan?”

“It’s been a long time, Chairman.”

Lee Yong-wan, guild master of Phoenix Guild, came to Hunter Association with his vice guild master Ha Yuri after receiving conscription order.

“Hunter Ha Yuri also came.”

“Hello.”

Ha Yuri bowed her head as she looked around with a mask on.

“But I don’t see anyone else?”

Chairman Oh Gang-hyuk shrugged at Yong-wan’s question.

“This time, East Sea Gate will receive support from the United States. Therefore, other guilds will remain as reserve raiders in case of anything.”

Lee Yong-wan’s mouth twisted at the chairman’s words.

“Do we have to be the first conscription target? There are many other great guilds.”

“It’s hard to find a guild as great as Phoenix Guild.”

“The aftermath of Jeju Island Gate is still there.”

“It’s been almost a month, so I believe you’ve recovered. Hehehe.”

‘Damn bastard.’

Lee Yong-wan realized the chairman’s intention. This is a penalty for the mischief he made at the Hunan Plain Gate.

He was the most active in the tax exemption bill for large guilds, and he took action. It was fair to say that it was a warning to everyone.

‘Now you’re coming on strong.’

Iron Oh Gang-hyuk was a first-generation hunter who had once been a powerhouse on par with the Divine Sword Guild’s Berserker and the Blue Star Guild’s Infinite Sword, but had become the oldest and weakest member of the faction.

He is a civil servant who has to struggle in front of the 10 guilds that have grown too much.

That’s why he came out so strong against Phoenix Guild, one of the 10 guilds.

“Maybe you won’t send us alone. Will you show us your trump card?”

“Trump card? He is not someone who can be evaluated by someone like me.”

‘That’s right.’

If it was his previous self, he would have thought that the chairman had made a secret deal with Leon or brought him into his power but he saw the arrogance of the Holy Knights at Jeju Island Gate.

Georgic, Leon…The saints who claim that they have been chosen by God are not those who obey the orders of humans.

“Ugh~”

“Well, it’s your own fault, isn’t it?”

Ha Yuri said as she sighed and sat down. Yong-wan looked at her with displeasure, but Yuri just shrugged her shoulders.

And while the two were waiting in the waiting room, one of the staff members ran over and reported.

“Chairman, he’s coming.”

“Hmm…! I see.”

At that, Chairman Oh Gang-hyuk checked if his suit and tie were out of place and even took out a hair comb to fix his hair.

‘What?’

Anyone would think he was going on a blind date. What’s all this fuss about? Yong-wan thought so while the chairman looked at him with a glance.

“What, what is it?”

“Hunter Lee Yong-wan, if you don’t mind, can you fix your clothes a little?”

“…Why?”

“Because it would be rude to him who will visit soon.”

“Huh?”

What is this bastard talking about…Yong-wan’s expression became weird. Then, as the door opened with a clatter, a blond handsome man came in with the guidance of an employee while Kim Jin-soo and Han Ha-ri followed him like attendants.

Chairman Oh Gang-hyuk ran up to him in a hurry.

“Thank you for your visit, Your Majesty.”

Leon Dragonia Lionheart. He looked down at Chairman Oh Gang-hyuk who bowed his waist and said arrogantly.

“If you make me move my royal body, you should have a reason worthy of it.”

“Of course. I am very grateful that you have moved your heavy footsteps.”

Leon accepted the chairman’s sincere greeting and sat down naturally in the seat of honor. He heard a sound from beside him as he got up. It was Ha Yuri.

“Why are you getting up?”

“I thought I should?”

Yong-wan frowned as he saw Ha Yuri get up as soon as Leon arrived. It wasn’t just Yuri. The chairman also didn’t sit down and stood next to Leon.

The only one sitting in this place was Yong-wan.

-Aren’t you getting up?

Everyone’s eyes were on Yong-wan. No, why, what? Is that guy a king here as well as the other world?

-Really not getting up?

Yong-wan couldn’t stand for 10 seconds and got up. Only after he got up did Leon open his mouth.

“Report.”

He treated him thoroughly like a subordinate, which was amazing, but no one was able to tackle it.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Last night at around 11 o’clock we discovered the appearance of a gate on the east coast.”

The chairman personally showed the data and pointed to the map of the east coast.

“It’s 8 km south of Ulleungdo, completely inside the sea and borders Japan’s maritime territory.”

And this is cross-information observed by Japan’s maritime force and the US fleet that there is a gate in the sea.

“If it’s in the sea, just go out to sea and raid it. You made me move my royal body because you couldn’t even take care of my garden.”

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I’m ashamed, but raiding the gate is secondary to reaching the gate.”

The chairman added weather information.

“A typhoon is approaching. Unfortunately, it is scheduled to pass through the direction where the gate is located and it’s such a strong typhoon that we can barely approach it with a warship.”

“What about waiting for the typhoon to pass?”

“Time is tight. Unlike other gates, Dragon Palace Gate… The gate that appears in the sea is difficult to raid and requires quick resolution.”

But it takes four days for the typhoon to pass. This is an unbearable risk.

If the first raid team fails, there may be a dungeon break before sending the second raid team due to the tight time.

And a dungeon break that occurs in the sea will lead to a disaster, so it must be raided quickly and perfectly.

“You know that you are betting on the prestige of the nation. But, you seem to think of me as a gardener of this country, like Cheongju or Jeju Island.”

“Never…! How can I take you lightly?”

“Then what is it? Even if this small land has its own heroes, why do you look for me first?”

Of course, Oh Gang-hyuk could have conscripted other hunters before Leon.

In the case of Dragon Palace Gate, the Association has the right to force conscription, so it would be possible to mobilize domestic strongest guilds such as Blue Star Guild or Divine Sword Guild’s Guild.

Of course, whether these guilds would comply or not is a separate issue.

Yong-wan was looking forward to how the chairman would persuade this difficult guy.

“Your Majesty, this is an opportunity to elevate the honor of Lionheart! Please give us your heroic order!”

Leon didn’t hate the chairman’s honey-coated tongue and laughed softly and opened his mouth.

“Well, okay. But, moving my royal body is heavy. You should prepare a proper tribute.”

“Do you have anything you want?”

Chairman Oh Gang-hyuk glanced at Leon. If this survivor wants something, he will support it if possible, but it is also important to figure out what he wants.

“The king doesn’t count coins. Discuss the details with Lord Spinner.”

“Hmm…”

He naturally handed over a blank check.

Oh Gang-hyuk smiled bitterly and thought it wasn’t easy.

Leon’s participation in the East Sea Gate raid was decided.

He had raided numerous gates, but this was his first time in a special situation like Dragon Palace Gate.

Raid teams were dispatched from each country of Korea, Japan, and the United States, and even warships were mobilized.

Only a limited number of people could enter from each guild, so Leon carefully selected participants.

“This raid will be carried out on a small scale due to the nature of the gate. From now on, those who are called will come out in order.”

The first one to be called was Yacht Spinner, who showed versatile responses in any situation. He was the top priority.

Next were Han Soo-ho and Kim Jae-hyuk. They were knight candidates, so it was natural that they were called.

Then came names of the trainees including Koo Dae-sung, a new trainee. There were ten knight trainees in total and twenty soldiers were also called.

“Huh?”

The ones who questioned first were Ha-ri and So-yeon.

“Um… Your Majesty. Among those you called, there isn’t a single ‘woman’?”

Is it gender discrimination? Aww~ Ha-ri knew that Leon looked like a discriminatory person but he really wasn’t.

Even if there was a distinction between women and men, who would make such a distinction in the organization of a raiding party like this──

“If you put a woman on a boat, it will sink.”

“???”

It was a very discriminatory reason.
