221 – Chapter 9. S-class reader (6)

* * *

During the last night, Baek Seol-hee and I studied the alter ego.

It also took a long time.

The alter ego is constantly created and then destroyed.

I hit it with a bat and my alter ego breaks.

Fortunately, I was not injured when the alter ego was broken, and we were able to check the alter ego’s abilities in various ways.

“For now, you can only create one. OK. You can recover mana by breaking the alter ego. OK. If you are close to the alter ego, you can link your senses. OK. And…”

I organized her alter ego abilities so that Seol Hee Baek can use them more comfortably.

“You can move to the place where the alter ego is. This is to move with the ability to transform the main body into frost fog… It is impossible to come over as if you were teleporting.”

“I’ll make it possible someday.”

As if she was really envious of Ymir’s spatial movement, Baek Seol-hee wanted her body to move to her alter ego, a doll, regardless of the distance from her alter ego.

Right now, I just hope that I can come over to my house where my alter ego is.

“Must. Definitely. I want to go in and out as I want. I can’t ask Ymir forever.”

“Isn’t Ymir saying something every time he teleports?”

“I don’t. If I did, I would have said something to Ymir. Rather, I’m more sorry that I didn’t. Especially the last time I did that with you… Tsk.”

“I’m very sorry that I seem to have broken the atmosphere. It’s okay. You can come over to me like this in the future.”

The method is much more complicated and difficult than Ymir, but the fact that Baek Seol-hee was able to leave the Taegeuk Watch in the official residence and come to my room is an encouraging achievement.

“Also, even though the alter ego is very weak, it can use this ability.”

It wasn’t just hand gestures and foot gestures, he was able to fully use this ability as well.

Instead, the limits of this ability were clear.

“The ability that the alter ego can produce is the total amount of magical power given to the alter ego. If you put in the amount of E, you get E-class power, and if you put in C-class, you get C-class power.”

“…If I put all of my magical power into an alter ego, I would be unable to move while recovering and only have to control the alter ego. Ah, this is a bit different. Please correct this part. Rather than feeling like that…”

Baek Seol-hee, lying on the bed, watched me organize things on her laptop and helped organize her alter ego abilities.

“The connection between the alter ego and the main body’s senses depends on the distance.

“…you just have to train.”

“Yes. I’m going to train in the future and go out in front of people as an alter ego. During prenatal training, all I’m going to do is lie still in bed or take a light walk.”

Someday, even if I just sit still, Baek Seol-hee, my alter ego, can take care of everything.

To do that, you would have to consume a lot of mana to create an alter ego every time, but if there was a way to continuously recover mana-

“…ah.”

One good idea came to mind.

“Seolhee. How much cash do you have?”

“…Do you want me to give you everything?”

“No, no. What are you talking about. That makes me sound like a scumbag trying to get your money.”

I lightly flicked Baek Seol-hee’s forehead with my finger.

“I meant, do you have the money to buy a building about 1,000 pyeong in Ulleungdo?”

“…how much do you do?”

“If you want to buy about 1,000 pyeong… If you just keep it simple, the rent alone is 100 billion won?”

Amazing, Ulleungdo.

1 billion per sqm.

It is a possible price because the energy of ‘patriotism’ on the ground is so strong.

Considering the pensions and hotels above, you should get at least 200 billion won.

“There’s a pension I go to often.”

“yes.”

“The hot spring there is actually a mana recovery spot.”

“……?”

“That’s why I go often.”

“Just by entering the water, magic is restored…?”

“yes.”

“then…!”

Baek Seol-hee immediately tried to stand up.

“Let’s go to Ulleungdo. I’ll take you.”

“calm down.”

“If you go into the water, no one will notice. Otherwise-“

“I want you to calm down.”

I held Baek Seol-hee tightly in my arms and lightly stroked her hair.

“You can go to Ulleungdo anytime. You should be able to go now. But, can you go and have fun now?”

“…….”

“Let’s go then when we recover a bit later, okay?”

“…yes.”

She buried her face in my chest, blinked for a moment, then blushed and clung to me.

“A pension in Ulleungdo, can I buy that?”

“No, no. Not there. Buying a hotel where no one is allowed in. And pretending to live there, you’re actually staying at the pension. With me.”

“It’s the best deviation. The paparazzi will walk around the hotel I bought, and if I send my alter ego there, everyone will know that Seol-hee Baek is there. …But shouldn’t I just buy that pension?”

“No.”

It is the property of the association.

“Anyway, let’s put at least an E-class alter ego somewhere else, and make it act similar to what you normally do. At the same time, if you’re soaking in a hot spring on Ulleungdo or there’s nothing wrong with being patriotic? It won’t be a big problem if you keep it that way. Unless someone attacks you or not.”

“…Wouldn’t there be people who think it’s strange to have an alter ego? Why can’t I only feel E-class magic? And then.”

“That’s something to think about then. Or hire someone else around like a bodyguard.”

It would be nice if an agent of the society joined, but I don’t know if Seolhee Baek would like having an agent of the society next to her.

“Seol-hee. Can you fight as an alter ego?”

“It would be possible for the alter ego to reflect only its face with Snow White, but it would be impossible to fight in earnest like it fought in Jindo. An alter ego’s magic is its vitality.”

“Magic power is life force…”

“…Does anyone remember anything?”

“Just. If that happens, I think I’ll be very reluctant to spend mana.”

It was a restriction that anyone could think of.

“It’s good to use mana to protect people, but if the more mana is used, the more one’s lifespan is cut, it’s hard for even an S-class hero to actively step forward.”

“…That’s right. And if you’re an S-class hero, the state will also manage it. Don’t step out recklessly in any situation, only come out when the state is in danger.”

Baek Seol-hee looked up at me with a meaningful face.

Perhaps, if I’m right, she’s heard information about ‘that man’, whether it’s the president or president.

“It’s very difficult to be the ultimate weapon. If you inform the world of your condition, the world will become more confused.”

Is ranking #1 the same no matter where you go?

Because he is a hero with a sense of justice, he leads his dying body and fights against the villain with a strong conviction that the symbol of peace must not be destroyed.

The difference is that there are many people in this world who will become symbols of peace after him.

“Seol-hee. If it becomes known to the world that you are pregnant, the next S-class will be Korea’s representative for the time being, at least for a year.”

“…Then Tushin is the representative of Korea?”

“Can you leave this country to Tushin?”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee kept her mouth shut.

“It’s true that Tushin has a sense of justice, he’s handsome, and he’s obviously talented, but he doesn’t have the feeling that he’s not good enough to take the place of Gwangik Gong or Snow White, right?”

“…….”

“Someone said. If you divide Korea’s S-class into tiers, it’s like this.”

S+ rank, Gwangik Gong, Snow White.

Commitment to S rank, Baridegi, Cheok Joon-kyung, Brain control.

Armored Taejo in S-class.

“Can I tell you an interesting story? What is the standard for people to classify two as S+?”

“performance…?”

“It’s about whether or not one person can subdue all S-classes in neighboring countries. For example, can one Snow White subdue all five S-classes in Japan?”

“…It’s difficult, but it might not be impossible at all.”

“Yes. That’s the dignity of an S+ class.”

According to the Hero Association’s classification, all S-classes are the same, but even within the S-class, of course, there is another distinction.

“What if someone, someone more trustworthy than self-confidence, becomes an S+ rank and becomes Korea’s most talented person?”

“…Then I’d like to openly announce it.”

Seolhee Baek tapped my cheek with her finger.

“Even without telling who the father is, Baek Seol-hee will finally announce that she is pregnant as the whole nation wants. If the world is worried about the absence of an S+ class, then everyone will be relieved if there is an S+ class to protect this country during my parental leave. won’t you?”

“Who are you thinking of?”

“How about taking responsibility for making Baek Seol-hee take parental leave?”

“……That’s not right.”

Just as Baek Seol-hee rejected my recruitment offer, I cannot accept that either.

“It’s better for me to raise a few S+ ranks and stick them in.”

“really?”

“Yeah. I’m looking for one right now.”

“Are you a woman?”

“Why do you think it’s a woman?”

“Because you won’t have a man next to you to teach.”

“…… How do you know people?”

It’s easier to teach a woman, but I’m not the kind of guy who hates men and leaves school.

“Or should I ask Platinum Sun? While I’m pregnant and giving birth, I want you to protect this country.”

“And if Platinum Sun gets pregnant, then you will come to the fore?”

“Can’t we just alternate one year at a time?”

“Eolssigu. Don’t you have any intention of ending it with one person?”

“You say you gather the kids and play soccer?”

“…….”

I covered Seolhee Baek’s mouth with my hand.

“In order to do that, you are actually retiring, retiring. Are you going to finish after having a baby? Mom has to be by your side. If Dad and Mom go on a business trip together, someone will be by your side.”

“…….”

“Don’t look at me like that. I’m not the kind of person who would give up on my path just because I had a child. Rather, I’m going to move more actively. If I did it for my woman before, then I’ll have to move for my children.”

I’m still moving with that mindset, but if I feel more responsible than now, then I’ll have to do my best.

“So the answer is simple. So that you can raise your child with peace of mind…”

One conclusion I came to.

“It’s about raising S+ ranks who can dedicate themselves to working for this country instead of you. As quickly as possible.”

Because the original job is what the successor does.

“It’s not waiting for S-rank new recruits to come in, it’s making S-rank new recruits.”
