Chapter 98: The Dignity Of Rank S (6)

Chapter 98: The Dignity Of Rank S (6)

-Snow White, you like the Goblin, don’t you?

It was a rumor that was widely known among the public. As Baek Seol-hee, it was frustrating, but it was natural for people to let their imaginations run wild while observing the two S-ranked individuals who always seemed to be in conflict.

-Baek Seol-hee likes the Goblin. That’s why she behaves like that.

-Go, Seolhee-mon! Tease the Goblin!

-How do you know if the Goblin is male or female? It could turn out to be female.

-Why are you assuming she would fail to tease a female?

-Teacher, I admire your broad defensive range.

Baek Seol-hee and the Goblin were a topic that heated up the community almost as much as Romeo and Juliet, or rather, Prince Hodong and Princess Nakrang.

-But doesn’t Princess Nakrang die, and Prince Hodong win the war?

-Then let’s call them Snow Prince and Goblin Princess!

-Why a princess when anyone can see it’s a male...?

-Even if it’s male, it’s enough to treat it like a princess!

-Teacher, I am also interested in your peculiar taste.

People cheered passionately. And although the nation didn’t show it, they all subtly sent signals to Baek Seol-hee with their eyes.

-Why not try to woo the Goblin, whether with your body, mind, or power?

-Honestly, if the Goblin is ruthless because of its situation, all of them would deserve to die if you really look into it, right?

-If we use the Goblin as a hunting dog to kill the villains, wouldn’t it be just like conducting a legal transaction? Baek Seol-hee, you should put a leash on the Goblin and walk around.

Everyone tried to link Baek Seol-hee with the Goblin. Especially when the Goblin started appearing again in Sejong Island, where he had never appeared before, the rumor started to spread all over the world on the wings of the wind.

-Someone who never appeared in Sejong Island is coming to Sejong Island because Baek Seol-hee is there? This is a 100% sign. It’s a green light.

-The Goblin must be a man. How could any man not be excited seeing Baek Seol-hee’s milkshake container?

-Get married! Bang! Be patriotic! Bang! Have a Snow Girl! Bang!

The internet was already making a fuss about “If the Goblin and Snow White have a baby, will it be a Snow Girl?”

Until now, Baek Seol-hee hadn’t really cared about that sort of thing. The only thing that concerned her about the Goblin was purely his villainous ideology or actions. She never really thought of the Goblin in a romantic way-

Or did she?

She didn’t know.

But that was just an illusion. She was only mistaken into thinking she had feelings for him because everyone kept talking about it.

There was already a man who had a place in Baek Seol-hee’s heart.

‘The world doesn’t know.’

What a fateful encounter it was.

It was as familiar as if they had known each other before, and facing a strange new world was fascinating. It was comforting to be with him, and she met someone who saw her not as an S-rank hero but as a woman named Baek Seol-hee.

‘I’m already annoyed that he doesn’t answer his phone at night, and now people are linking me with the Goblin without knowing anything.’

She was scared. An S-rank hero scared? But she was afraid he might say something like this:

-So, Miss Seol-hee likes the Goblin... I feel a bit disappointed.

She was scared. She was afraid their relationship might fall apart. They were just at the start, and it was already precarious. And she couldn’t sleep properly for fear that their relationship might collapse because people around them were egging them on in a strange way.

So today, she would make it clear and end her relationship with the Goblin to prove it.

To that man, to show that the rumors about her and the Goblin were just malicious assumptions made by people.

Never.

She was not angry because he didn’t contact her late at night, didn’t reply, didn’t confirm, and didn’t even call at dawn.

Yeah.

Why should she vent her anger at the Goblin?

Just.

She would just do her best to cut off the rumors created by people.

Based on the new skills she learned through conversations with him.

Today.

Baek Seol-hee was determined to capture the Goblin.



‘It seems like she contacted me last night.’

Dodging the incoming ice spear quickly, I speculated the reason for the anger embedded in Baek Seol-hee’s attack.

Question 1. Was it because Armored Taejo was forcibly deployed to Gangwon-do to handle the accident he caused?

Answer 1. No. She has been involved in all kinds of incidents so far, but she wouldn’t get angry over something like this.

‘She must be pissed because she couldn’t reach me!’

In this situation, was the technique she used unconsciously, or even consciously, from the climax scene of the movie she watched with Do Ji-hwan?

One hundred percent.

When I returned to Seoul, there would definitely be more than ten missed calls on my Taeguk Watch.

-Can you come now...?“

-Or should I come to you?“

If a message like this had come, Do Ji-hwan would probably have turned into trash as a romantic partner.

‘Damn.’

It was fine to flirt as Do Ji-hwan, but due to that flirtation, it was unbelievable that the Goblin was spilling blood like this.

Should this be called trolling or outsmarting?

‘But there’s one sure thing.’

That woman, Baek Seol-hee, didn’t know my true identity.

She didn’t know at all that the Goblin was Do Ji-hwan.

If she knew I was Do Ji-hwan?

There would have been a hint of hesitation in that attack.

There were no emotions mixed in at all, such as confusion when she found out that Do Ji-hwan was the Goblin or feeling betrayed due to that confusion.

Only the single-mindedness of a hero who wanted to arrest me.

[A bit cute, though.]

“!!”

Should I call it pure love towards Do Ji-hwan?

The attack was filled with the will to arrest the Goblin, but it embarrassed me to think that it was because of her feelings for Do Ji-hwan at its root.

‘I’ll have to soothe her when I go back.’

I decided to figure out a way, whether by going back to Ulleung soon or secretly inviting her separately...

First, dealing with the meteorite falling in front of me was the top priority.

Escaping with astral projection was impossible.

There were invisible ice crystals all around that would hinder astral projection. If I crossed the net and materialized with ice crystals stuck in my body, my body would explode.

Either pierce through the net.

Or run underground.

Or else.

[Ah, can you hear me? The chairwoman’s order. She said to back up with ‘full power’.]

Expend all the power I could muster now, to block the attack.

[5 minutes. I’ll be there within 5 minutes after tidying up here, so don’t get caught.]

‘I’m just about to get hit with the ultimate move.’

I turned my body.

I turned my back to the meteorite and gathered my magical power in my lower body.

“!!”

Baek Seol-hee was taken aback and reached out towards me, but the meteorite was already falling.

‘At maximum magical power.’

[Three.]

[Two.]

[One.]

I gathered all the magical power and passed it to one leg.

[I’ll take that anger head-on.]

Cutting Leg Knife.

Patriotic Side Cutter.

I swung my body around in a huge arc and raised one leg towards the meteorite.

Whack.

The crescent moon of the red flame.

Split the white meteorite in half.
