To turn my 1 billion into 10 billion, or rather, for the victory of Yoon Iseon, I called Yoon Iseon out separately.
[Always thankful, Platinum Sun.]
“Why go out of your way to call me Platinum Sun? Since it’s just Iseon here, feel free to call me casually.”
Of course, I didn’t just call her out for no reason. Yumir teleported us to a quiet place with few people around.
“Goblin sir, where are we?”
[At a military golf course in Gyeonggi-do.]
“Is it okay to train here in the middle of the night?”
[It’s a military place, so it doesn’t matter. There won’t be any problems if we set up a barrier.]
I pointed at the surrounding space, filled only with darkness.
[Even if we get caught, it’s a place where we can properly manage the situation.]“At a military base?”
[What matters is that it’s the ‘golf course’ of a military base. We can solve everything with special abilities. Don’t worry.]
Whether it’s brainwashing, memory manipulation, or a whack on the head with the Goblin’s bat, there were many methods.
[Yoon Iseon. When is the day you fight against Armored Taejo?]
“May 28th.”
[Only a week left. Have you gotten used to your awakened state during this time?]
“Yes.”
Yoon Iseon glanced at Yumir and then released her magic power.
Goooo.
Pink flames wrapped around her, and soon Yoon Iseon transformed into her new form - Sexy Sister Yoon Iseon.
[The time it took to get dressed after transforming is 7 seconds. Much faster than last time.]
“I learned a lot while consulting with Yumir.”
“Hehe.”
Yumir stood next to Yoon Iseon in the costume of the Golden Priestess.
The sight somewhat resembled two foreigners cosplaying in Hanbok, which was a bit funny, but I refrained from laughing and pointed the Goblin’s bat forward.
[Yumir. Please take care of the barrier.]
“Leave it to me. But after we finish… you know?”
[Ah. I’ll make sure you can sleep comfortably, so please do your best.]
Yumir might feel like a mere bystander brought along for Yoon Iseon’s sparring, but since Yumir had things under control on their end, it was fine.
[Now, think of it as facing Armored Taejo. It might be quite different from Armored Taejo’s actual fighting style, but I’ll fight you in the style of Armored Taejo as I’ve fought him so far.]
Paaat!
I first transformed the mana wrapping around my body into a new form.
[One of Armored Taejo’s fighting methods. Fast approach using the suit’s jet propulsion.]
Taat.
I kicked off the ground and unleashed magic power beneath my feet to approach Yoon Iseon in an instant.
[How will you respond?]
“Like this!”
Having already noticed my approach—as I said—Yoon Iseon extended one foot slightly to the side and spun her body around.
[A light dodge and a counterattack at the same time. Excellent.]
Whooosh!
Foxfire sprang up around Yoon Iseon, spinning around her.
If I had continued to charge forward, I would have been hit squarely by the spinning flames.
[But how will you deal with this?]
Paaang!
Suddenly, my view shifted towards Yoon Iseon.
My body, while facing forward, moved sideways in the direction Yoon Iseon had dodged.
“Inertia…?!”
[I absorbed the inertia with magic power.]
Continuing forward, I twisted to the side in the same motion I was running.
Naturally, there was a slight load from inertia on my body, but I easily ignored that load and suppressed it with magic power.
[It’s Armored Taejo’s specialty.]
Inertia was absorbed by magic power.
Thinking that it’s ‘possible’ for the laws of magic power to bend the direction of kinetic energy moving forward perpendicularly, I moved my body.
[Right now, I’m slightly overloaded, but Taejo would do it easily. I changed the direction of the mana expulsion, but he would have the help of machinery.]
“Is moving like this because the power of mana expulsion is stronger than rocket propulsion?”
[Yes. When fighting against a superpower user, don’t try to analyze the opponent’s superpower, unless it’s a situation where you must understand it to fight.]
I thrusted forward with a punch.
Not to attack, but to demonstrate how Armored Taejo would attack in this manner.
[After showing this movement, Armored Taejo mainly uses his fists. However, he will use a different method against you. Like this.]
I pulled back my shoulder and, as if launching a forward kick, stepped into the air and briefly struck the void with my fist.
“Blow away with a shockwave?”
[Yes. Why do you think he would use this method against you?]
“Because I’m weak?”
[Because you’re a woman. He’s a feminist.]
Even as I spoke, I wondered if it was okay to use that term, but I simply used the word as it is defined in the dictionary.
[Against men, he goes straight with a punch. Against women, he uses a shockwave like this. Especially if he thinks the opponent is weaker, he’ll definitely do it this way.]
“…Then, what should I do?”
[Try what you just thought of.]
The moment I made a threatening gesture towards her, Yoon Iseon immediately thought of how to respond and then stopped.
Because the opponent was me.
[It’s okay. Go ahead.]
“Then…”
Towards my fist that was reaching out to create a shockwave, Yoon Iseon extended her hand from the wide sleeve of her hanbok and formed a triangle with both hands.
“Expulsion!”
Whoosh!
Pink flames burst out from the triangle formed by the thumbs touching each other and the index fingers meeting.
Normally, I would have dodged to the side, but I acted according to Armored Taejo’s combat habits.
“Huh?!”
[This is what Taejo would do.]
I leaned my head back and didn’t completely dodge the attack.
[He’s weak to counterattacks at the moment he tries to attack. Especially if it’s right as he’s trying to attack.]
Whoosh!
The flames bursting from the triangle formed by fingers clung to my shoulder.
“I’m, I’m sorry!”
[No, it’s Armored Taejo’s fault. He would dodge like this. You didn’t do anything wrong. It was intentional to get hit. You can’t be careless.]
I couldn’t make a fuss like Armored Taejo would.
[Whatever his reaction, the next attack will be this.]
[Cast OFF].
As the voice flowed from the belt, Yoon Iseon’s eyes widened, and I dispersed the magic gloves I was wearing, just like Armored Taejo.
“Gaak!?”
[He’s still immersed in the world of Riders. And he will attack using the Rider transformation gimmick. Like this.]
I pressed down on the slightly shaken mask.
Yoon Iseon almost fell backward from the armor explosion but, before falling, supported herself with one hand on the ground and jumped back gracefully, landing elegantly.
[…One question.]
“What is it?”
[Why wear white stockings under a skirt that goes down to the ankles?]
“You don’t know anything!”
Yoon Iseon lifted her skirt up to her knees and held her head high.
“White stockings are a serious matter!”
[Your underwear showed.]
“…….”
[It seems you didn’t think that far.]
Yoon Iseon, down.
Sometimes, a superpower user lost not because of physical defeat but because of a moment of embarrassment.
[I guess I need to show a good example. Yumir.]
“Yes?”
[Excuse me for a moment.]
I reached out with my Goblin’s bat towards Yumir’s skirt hem and lifted it up.
“Kyaa?!”
The scream came not from Yumir, but from Yoon Iseon’s mouth.
“Even if we’re patriotic allies! Uh, uh…?”
“Hehe. Ta-da.”
[There’s something called the absolute territory.]
Yumir’s lower half was like black mist, showing nothing.
You’d expect to see a silhouette at least, but it seemed completely covered in black mist.
[Since your opponent is Armored Taejo, it might not matter much, but among villains, especially malicious ones, there are cases of sexual harassment. You need to be prepared for such situations and manage well even inside.]
“I covered this part with magic power as if I’m wearing black leggings. How about it?”
“Indeed. But… how long are you going to keep exposing it?”
[Hmm.]
I withdrew my Goblin’s bat.
[If white stockings are your taste, I can’t help it-]
“Do you prefer white or black stockings, Goblin sir?”
[I like both. As long as the person wearing them is pretty.]
“…….”
My response to Yoon Iseon left her somewhat dazed.
“Teacher. She’s now applying what you said about liking to her stocking color-”
“I’m not a teacher! It’s Goblin!”
“…….”
“Goblin! Don’t call him teacher!”
Yoon Iseon ended up shouting back when Yumir and I casually pushed the red pill too far.
“…Uh, right. Then… Trainer? Should I call you Trainer?”
[That might be better. Right now, I’m a trainer helping Yoon Iseon. So, Iseon. The battle with Armored Taejo is just the ‘prologue’. His variations are incredibly diverse. He even doesn’t hesitate to use other people’s techniques.]
“Like when Goblin exploded the armor?”
[Yes.]
Why?
Because it’s cool.
If a technique looked cool over being practical, that’s Armored Taejo’s way.
[We’ll continue sparring, but I’ll teach you the ‘surefire winning technique’ against him.]
“Surefire…? Not to kill, right?”
[It’s a technique to defeat the S-Class Rank 7, pushing him to S-Class Rank 8. It’s also the easiest way for
you to win.]
“…….”
Yoon Iseon licked her lips.
My suggestion must seem like a devil’s temptation.
Especially since others still consider her a fake champion or an A-Class, here’s a sure way to solidly reach S-Class Rank 7.
“It’s not something bad, right…?”
[Not at all. If you defeat Armored Taejo with this technique, he’ll cleanly accept his defeat.]
The ultimate technique that might cause Armored Taejo to lose his will to fight.
The most suitable technique for Yoon Iseon right now.
[For now, let’s tentatively name it ‘Corona Blaster’.]
