… Those in real power do not serve democracy. Make the public submit to democracy.
[Kim Man-il, to the reporter who is eavesdropping on him.]
***
The first thing that Yeo-myeong and Soe-miri encountered after leaving the Academy Hotel was neither Seti nor the principal.
“… Hello, Rime.”
Rime, a silver-haired elf who came to Earth to escort Miridis.
She was waiting at the back door of the hotel, and as soon as she saw the two people, she folded her arms.
“good morning. Comrade in advance. that… “It looks like you had a hard time during the night.”
Soemiri wanted to run away right away, but for no reason she just looked into the distance with a red face. He couldn’t help it. Because she was currently riding on Dawn’s back.
Dawn shrugged her shoulders and said.
“It was a lot of hardship, to the point where I couldn’t even walk at this hour.”
Then Miri slapped him on the back. Dawn just laughed, and Rime, who was watching, sighed deeply.
“Ever since the dream was connected, I couldn’t believe it, but… “It ended up like this.”
“… .”
Cursing or fists? The moment Dawn gave strength to her body while waiting for Rime’s next reaction.
She suddenly lowered her head towards him.
“Please take good care of your comrades in advance in the future. Dawn.”
Unexpected actions, unexpected words. Surprised, Dawn blinked her eyes for a moment, then cleared her throat and answered.
“Yes, I will do my best to protect her until the day I die.”
“… .”
It wasn’t a great answer, but honesty has its own flavor. Rime responded with a small smile, then turned his back and said.
“Okay then, let’s move on now. “There are many eyes watching.”
Dawn willingly began to follow her. Of course, she did not forget to cover up her vision of bloody tears appropriately.
Anyway, I walked for a while, feeling the touch of Soemii, who buried her face in the back of his neck out of embarrassment.
When the main first-year building was visible in the distance, Rime opened his mouth.
“Um, about a thousand people? “Do you have any further questions?”
suddenly? It was only then that Yeo-myeong, who was carrying Miri, realized that Lee Mae was waiting for her to ask a question.
It wasn’t anything particularly strange. Isn’t she following Miri to Earth where she doesn’t know anyone?
Even if I talked to the scapegoat sisters or senior Ado, who was in the same situation, I would have only talked about business-related matters.
In such a situation, if you think you have one more person to share personal stories with…
After thinking that far, Dawn opened her mouth with a small smile.
“I don’t know if I can ask this, but I think elves and humans are more similar than you might think. “Mixed race was also possible, right?”
“Yes, according to the records, there was a mixed race. “Although no new mixed race has been born since the bloodline of the first warrior was cut off a hundred years ago.”
“Hmm, the fact that mixed blood is possible means that they are related species… Surprisingly, elves and humans may have the same roots.”
What Yeo-myeong said was one of the hypotheses that often comes up in mainstream biology academia. Of course, the mainstream view was that the record about mixed blood was wrong and that elves and humans were completely different species.
Nevertheless, the reason he brought up this topic was to continue the conversation by exchanging information with each other…
In fact, Rime caught him off guard with a sharp answer.
“No, the roots of the two races are completely different. Unlike you, who evolved through natural selection, elves are a race created directly by the World Tree.”
“… ?”
“Strictly speaking, elves are a race created by the World Tree to communicate with the world. If we were to be honest, would we call it a fruit? That is why our experiences are fed back to the World Tree through dreams.”
“… ??”
“In the same sense, the reason we resemble humans is because the mainstream race of Asha was human. Appearance that is attractive by human standards is also an extension of that reason. maybe… “If Asha’s main race had been reptiles instead of humans, we would have had scales too.”
It was so scary that scholars would faint when they heard it. However, instead of fainting, Yeo-myeong, who did not even have a master’s degree, let alone a doctorate, asked this question.
“uh… Is that like the creation myth of the elves?”
“No, it’s not a myth, it’s a scientific perspective based on evolution. “There are some parts that the World Tree himself proved.”
“… .”
What kind of stark reality is this? No, before that, Dawn understood why Damerond harbored such deep hatred for the words, ‘The World Tree is just a big tree.’ A creature that must bow to those who killed its creator.
When he was at a loss for words, Soemiri rested her chin on his shoulder and whispered.
“Why are you so surprised? “Didn’t you know that all communists are materialists?”
“… .”
“or not… You really don’t believe that humanity is a race created by God, do you? huh? Descendants of hairless primates?”
Soemiri poked his cheek with a coy expression. At how disgusting that sight was, Dawn laughed and bounced her hips.
Immediately after, Soemi’s body on his back began to shake and a short scream escaped from her mouth.
It was a scream so cute that a unicorn would shed bloody tears if it heard it.
***
“I’m here?”
Seti and Sis were the ones who welcomed the group back to the faculty lounge after two days.
“How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?”
Unlike Seti, who took care of Dawn first, Sith first looked at Soemiri, who was carried by Dawn.
And as soon as she saw Miri getting off her back and walking awkwardly like a doll with a broken string, she covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
Anyway, the group that sat down immediately started reporting the situation.
It was Sethi who spoke first.
“The principal helped clean up the two people who fell into the vision artifact.”
Dawn wasn’t that surprised. Because that was more or less what she expected from the moment of her awakening in the VIP room.
However, I did not expect what followed.
“Yeomyeong was suspended from school for a week for hitting a senior. “Sick leave in advance.”
“… Why am I suspended from school and not on sick leave?”
“Well, people won’t believe me if the person who shattered my senior’s spine the day before takes sick leave, right?”
That’s right. Dawn sighed deeply.
I get suspended every time we spar… On paper, he has become a bully without making a move.
Well, when I entered the academy to seek revenge, I was already far from being a model student.
Anyway, after cooling off, Dawn began to explain to Seti what happened in the vision artifact.
From training centers to raise future generals, assassinations of politicians, military coups, Cheondun Swordsmanship, and… Even the story about Kim Man-il.
“… What if Kim? “Kim Man-il is the person who knows His Excellency’s true identity?”
As soon as his name was said, Seti’s eyes widened. Dawn answered without any hesitation.
“huh. Are you sure.”
“Kim Man-il… “Is this the Kim Man-il I’m thinking of right now?”
Dawn nodded once more, and Seti chewed the tip of her thumbnail.
“That means… Ha, it means that every single person in Korean politics was a puppet of His Excellency.”
Not only the youngest, but even Dawn remained silent as if agreeing with what he said, but Soemiri suddenly raised her hand.
“excuse me… “Who is Kim Man-il?”
It was the youngest who answered that question.
“He is the son of Kim Il-sung, the culprit of the Korean War, and a democratic hero who ended Korea’s military dictatorship.”
“If Kim Il-sung… “He was the person who joined the Soviet Union and started the Korean War, right?”
“yes”
“How can the son of such a person become a democratic hero?”
The expression ‘hero’ is no joke. Is it possible? As soon as Soemiri tilted her head, the youngest continued to explain.
“Well… You threw away the opportunity to live rich in the Soviet Union, returned to your homeland, fought against the military, were imprisoned in the process, were tortured and became one-eyed, and yet you ended up becoming president and ended the dictatorship? Oh, and the name of the drama based on that person was Hero.”
“… .”
“But actually, I already expected Kim Man-il to be a bad guy. A guy who is too nice will end up in a bad situation. Hmm… “A person as good as my brother-in-law is a truly good person.”
Immediately after, Seti hit the youngest child on the top of his head. Sith asked what I did wrong, but Seti hit the youngest on the head again and looked at Dawn.
“Going into the vision artifact was the right answer. I’m glad I knew this first-rate information in advance, and… .”
“I also gained a tool to deceive the other party.”
That was the story of Cheondun Swordsmanship. A sword technique thrown by Korea as bait to brainwash Dawn.
However, since Dawn had shaken off the brainwashing, Cheondun Sword Technique could have become bait to catch Korea.
Because the core of a lie is not deception, but the other person’s trust.
“If it’s Cheondun Sword Technique, don’t worry. “Like Bigaksul, it is a martial art that our sisters are also learning.”
Just as Seti was pounding on the table and speaking, the youngest child intervened.
“But is the swordsmanship in the vision artifact exactly the same as the swordsmanship we are learning? “What if it’s something else?”
“It’s possible, but it won’t be a completely different martial art. Slightly different at best? Otherwise, Korea wouldn’t have taught us… .”
Seti trailed off and recalled the past. The moment when I was a child swinging a sword so hard that it tore my grip, and the moment when I was insulted and told to use a hammer because I had no talent.
Torturous memories prickled her heart like thorns stuck between fingernails.
“… .”
As Seti clenched her fists without realizing it, a rough but warm hand covered the back of her hand. She was the hand of dawn.
“Seti.”
“… .”
“are you okay?”
“… huh. are you okay”
Seti, who received Dawn’s gaze, magically regained her stability.
The youngest person next to me said, ‘I can’t believe I was comforted by a man who had been hanging out with another woman all night…’ ‘Whether or not he was scolded by Soemiri for saying the same thing, Seti spoke while feeling the warmth of dawn.
“First of all, I’ll tell you everything I know about the Cheondun Sword Technique. However, since it may be different from the swordsmanship in the arcane relic, I only use the external appearance appropriately. Anyway, the martial arts learned from Corvus are more advanced… “If you use that side as your main focus and pretend to have learned it slightly, you will be able to fool it.”
“I will completely follow your opinion on the prosecution part. “Then when will I start learning it?”
“Anyway, all of the Olympia preliminaries abstained, so you can take it easy. There is still time left until we meet the patriots… .”
Before Seti could finish speaking, Jiying-yeomyung’s cell phone rang.
Who is it at this hour? Yeo-myeong took out her phone with a look of curiosity and frowned as soon as she saw her name that came to mind.
“… “This person can’t be a noble either.”
Sethi added after briefly checking the other person.
“I wasn’t originally a nobleman. “It’s a genealogy book I bought with money.”
A prickly tone of voice. Dawn smiled and answered the phone.
“Yes, father-in-law. What’s going on? “I don’t think we’ll be talking on the phone this warmly.”
Soon, a servile voice was heard from the other end of the phone. It was the voice of Hong Yong-wan, Seti’s biological father.
[Haha, son-in-law, calm down. I contacted you like this because I have good news.]
“… “Good news?”
[That time… A meeting of patriots is being held, and the Minister of Defense has decided to invite you specifically. Minister Cho also agreed! This will be a celebration of your membership. How is it?]
“… .”
Not Cho Woong-chan, but the Minister of National Defense. Dawn’s eyes were cold, but Hong Yong-wan on the other side of the phone was chatting happily without even knowing it.
[Oh, if you’re worried about suspension, don’t worry! Students can fight among themselves! We will tell the Academy everything, and now that we are done, you can just come.]
“… Yes, my father-in-law. “Where should I go?”
seoul? Individuality? Or is it Woo Nam Gung? Yeo-myeong thought of Korean geography, but Hong Yong-wan’s next words were beyond his expectations.
[Japan, come to Tokyo.]
