Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

95. The cadet beat the judges?

#95. The cadet beat the judges?

‘What is this guy Jicheonseok doing?’

Seong-Hwan Yoo, the second round practical examiner, felt puzzled when his junior, who had gone to check on the cadets’ condition, had not yet reported back.

‘I wonder if there’s a problem?’

For a moment, Yoo Seong-hwan wondered if there was a serious problem with Lee Soo-hyeok or Cynthia that they hadn’t reported it. If it was an urgent situation, he had to take action first.

But it didn’t seem like that at all. If there was someone seriously injured at that level, the only thing you could do was pour a potion. And pouring a potion would only take a few seconds, or at most a few dozen seconds.

‘… So much time has passed. I can’t see clearly because of the dust. Should I walk this myself?’

Seonghwan Yoo, who was the lowest ranked judge after Jicheonseok, suddenly felt a sharp gaze directed at him from the side.

-If you don’t go, who will?

Although Yoo Seong-hwan didn’t speak, it was as if he could hear this voice.

‘Ugh. If you want to be picky, you have to be picky.’

He sighed inwardly and spoke to the other judges.

“I’ll take a look and come back.”

“Oh, yes, Judge Yoo Seong-hwan. Please take care of me. If anything comes up, please contact me right away. First… I think it would be good to get the acting out first.”

“…I will do that.”

Yoo Seong-hwan felt bewildered by the words of his senior hero who gave instructions as if he had been waiting for them, but what could he do? He was far superior in both experience and skill, so he couldn’t just force him into it.

‘It’s nothing special… .’

It wasn’t that bothersome, nor was it something I didn’t want to do, but it was something I didn’t necessarily need to do.

Yoo Seong-hwan, who had done such a thing, headed to the examination room thinking that he should scold his junior, Ji Cheon-seok.

and…

“…???”

I was embarrassed.

“Uh, uh…?”

There were two people there whose relationship had been reversed.

The two people seen in the thick dust are Cynthia, one of the test subjects, and Ji Cheon-seok, his junior.

‘What the heck is going on…?’

In front of Yoo Seong-hwan’s eyes, Ji Cheon-seok was lying on the ground with blood pouring out of his abdomen.

Cynthia was taking out a potion and pouring it in front of him with a puzzled look on her face.

It was a veritable crucible of chaos.

“Huh… Huh? I, I’m out of breath…!”

As Ji Cheon-seok foamed at the mouth, Cynthia became even more flustered and poured the potion into his mouth.

If you pour a potion into someone who has passed out like that, their prayers may be blocked.

“Get out of the way!”

“Ah… yes!”

Yoo Seong-hwan pushed Cynthia aside and quickly took out a top-grade potion, poured it into Ji Cheon-seok’s abdomen, sat him down, and fed him the rest of the potion.

‘I’m going crazy. How am I supposed to handle this fucking situation… .’

Although the emergency situation was resolved, the problem was how to handle the absurd situation where one of the senior heroes was attacked by a cadet.

‘Once the dust has risen, no one will notice… Should I just sneak out?’

Yoo Seong-hwan thought it was fortunate that the thick dust was covering up this absurd situation, and immediately tried to grab the judge and leave the place.

At that time.

“Oh my… What’s taking so long? I’m going to have to catch Ji Cheon-seok and Yoo Seong-hwan and give them some training soon. They’ve lost their minds because they’ve reached a higher level. Tsk.”

Another judge, impatient, summoned his magic and cleared away all the dust around him.

“…???”

The judge, like Yoo Seong-hwan, was flustered and had many questions in his head.

“… Cheonseok, why are you here?”

And the high-level hero covered in bright red blood was revealed to the people.

***

As soon as Cynthia’s match ended, all the communities in the country were flooded with stories about her.

And of course, the hottest story among them was the one related to [the judges].

Judges dispatched by the association.

They are all professionals among professionals who hold the rank of heroes or higher. But it was inevitable that it would become an issue when such a judge was defeated by an academy cadet who had not even earned the status of a hero yet.

‘People will be anxious because they saw the judges being treated by a mere cadet…’

The judges knew people would think, ‘Isn’t that a high-level hero a piece of shit? How can he live with such anxiety?’

But it wasn’t.

[ Cynthia is absolutely world class… ]

Contrary to what the judges thought, people didn’t think Ji Cheon-seok was a piece of shit for getting beat up by Cynthia.

Rather, I actually thought, isn’t Cynthia a total genius?

There was no way to know whether it was because he was thirsty for genius or something.

How can someone be this pretty? Does this make sense?

[Anonymous]: Sister Cynthia, I’m dying!

N [Anonymous]: You should just die

There is no way to know people’s minds, but one thing is certain… .

It was through this incident that Cynthia gained some fans.

“I have completed all the tasks you instructed me to do.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

I nodded at my secretary’s words that I was done with my work and smiled broadly as I went online.

“Then… shall we take a look?”

Yeah (13.12): Yeah, it’s true

ㄴㅇㅇ(141.14): How can a cadet beat a high-level hero?

ㄴㄴㅇㅇ(13.12): If you don’t believe me, why are you asking? You’re crazy.

ㄴㄴㅇㅇ(141.14): I’ll only believe you if you say something that makes sense.

ㄴㄴㅇㅇ(13.12) : (Link) Go see this.

ㄴㄴㅇㅇ(141.14): Why is this happening?

ㄴㄴㅇㅇ(79.51) : Idiot

All over the internet, Cynthia’s story was plastered everywhere. And the content of those articles was full of positive things about the gentleman.

“Wherever you go, it’s filled with stories about Sia.”

This was a task I was instructed to do.

It wasn’t originally planned to go this far, but Cynthia split open the ship of a high-level hero, so it became inevitable to proceed.

If not, people’s trust in the Association’s heroes would hit rock bottom.

It wasn’t something that would hurt me right away or anything, but it was problematic in the long run.

Anyway, it’s good that Cynthia’s face and skills have become more widely known, and that higher-level heroes aren’t just trash.

“I made a lot of money… I’m lucky.”

And I made a lot of money through this match.

300 billion was inflated 1.7 times in just a few dozen minutes. Even after deducting fees and taxes, it is still over 100 billion won.

Although such astronomical sums are often recorded in stock accounts, there is a slight difference between making money through stocks and making money through gambling.

‘Ugh… I’m gambling on this taste.’

[ $380,000,000 ]

$380 million.

Based on the current exchange rate of 1,300 won, this is an amount exceeding 500 billion won.

From noble mtl dot com

500 billion won.

An astronomical amount of money with 12 zeros. ‘What the heck…!’

Yun Hyuk-kwon lost such an astronomical amount of money in an instant.

( – ) 500,000,000,000 won

This is hot slush funds that were immediately exchanged and stored away in secret overseas accounts.

But all that slush money disappeared into thin air in an instant.

‘This doesn’t make sense. How can you lose even after obtaining the Half-Dragon trait? There’s no way that Cynthia’s level of skill can break through the Dragon’s Ring Armor…! This is a scam… a scam…!’

Yun Hyuk-kwon, who was going through the first stage of the five stages of anger, ‘denial’, held his head and stared blankly at his betting account that had turned blue.

500 billion.

It’s not just money, it’s slush funds.

It’s the kind of money that’s not easy to make.

But I blew it all in a moment of wrong judgment. If I could, I would go to the casino manager, grab him by the collar, and demand that he give me the money.

Of course, if that really happened, Yun Ga’s reputation would once again fall to the ground, if not through the floor and into the basement.

Such thoughts were putting the brakes on Yun Hyuk-kwon’s thinking.

‘Fuck… Let’s forget it. We have to forget it… .’

Yoon Hyuk-kwon was a man full of emotions, but he knew how to compromise. After compromising with shit, he later decided to find a way to somehow recover this loss and erased his thoughts about money.

Yoon Hyuk-kwon, who had barely managed to forget about money, turned his head toward Grace to discuss the ‘raid’ that would take place two days later.

It was at that time.

Suddenly, the screen of the smartphone Grace was holding came into Yoon Hyuk-kwon’s sight.

‘Red?’

Her phone’s screen was filled with red circles.

“… Wait a minute. That red one, Grace, is that what you bet on too?”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon looked puzzled and asked Grace.

“Oh, this? What is that? But why?”

“Oh, how much did you earn?”

“About 300 million dollars? I bet on Cynthia and luckily she won. That would be around 400 billion won? I wonder where I could spend that much money… The more money you have, the better. If you need it, tell me. I’ll lend it to you.”

Grace used her future vision to glimpse Cynthia standing on the field and placed her bet, but she didn’t tell anyone.

“… … .”

“what’s the matter?”

Yoon Hyuk-kwon didn’t answer Grace’s questions and just lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.

I had barely forgotten, but when this deceiver appeared before my eyes, I couldn’t control my emotions.

Anger arose inside him as if it was exploding.

“What the fuck-!”

“…?”
