Chapter 215 - [12th Round] Unification
‘Trainee Teacher, I don’t know myself!’
For me, in general, the idea of ranking people was an unfamiliar concept. If it weren’t for the Second Demon Ssosia, I wouldn’t even think about the order in which I loved someone.
It was pretty confusing.
The first girl I married was the Sword Princess in round 8, making her, obviously, the first wife. However, her being my first love was a different story.
A lot of women came to my mind besides the Sword Princess. Objectively, she might not even be the first woman.
Then who was it?
The women, whose names I remembered, were too complicated.
Mom, Daughter of Mom’s Friend A, Daughter of Mom’s Friend B, Lanuvel, Sylvia, Factoria, Aqua, Ssosia, etc.
There were even more of them than that.
? Confusion: That question is puzzling, but I understand. I was treated well by many of the seniors, making it hard to choose one that I like more than the rest.
‘Is it because Trainee Teacher dreams of becoming the greatest teacher? You pay more attention to education, not love.’
? Modesty: While I know that’s flattery, it pleases me.
As I spoke with Trainee Teacher, the situation developed.
The hens, whom I ordered to surrender, didn’t agree to my demands so easily. Instead, the angel that replaced their leader flew up to me after their previous one died because of Captain Fantasy’s bottom.
The chicken was wrapped in a white translucent cloth that resembled bandages.
At the Festival of Heroes, I saw an angel in a similar outfit. I didn’t know much about them despite my 61 years of experience, but I knew for sure that such a defiant outfit was only allowed to be worn by high-ranking angels.
Why?
There were many high-quality bandages in the treasury of angels.
They healed with and through Divinity, so they didn’t need real bandages. Instead, they used them as clothing.
“Back off, Earthen King,” She glared at me insolently.
I didn’t like the way she spoke.
“Know your place, you ill-mannered angel.”
Captain Fantasy fidgeted, and the angels screamed. In addition, their city immediately tilted like a sinking boat.
The chicken grew paler as she hastened to answer.
“Stop! Many innocent lives are in this city! The heroes on the ground below will never forgive you for such violence! Aren’t you afraid of their judgment, their wrath? You’ll lose everything just because of one mistake…
“I am a Hero.”
“What?”
“You should show at least a little interest in what’s going on downstairs, chicken.”
She talked about heroes, but she didn’t even know who they were.
Regardless, I understood her reason.
? Race: Archangel
? Level: 999+
? Job: Exorcist (Demons → Damage ↑)
? Skills: Divinity ZZ, Whip Mastery Z, Purification Z, Endurance Z, Blessing MAX…
? Status: Frightened, Confused
The skills were outstanding.
From my perspective, these were laughable skills, but in secondary education, her stats were the best thing I had seen. Her combat power was comparable to that of the Guardians who hid on different continents.
“Then why are you invading us?”
“What’s so surprising about that? There is no law prohibiting heroes from attacking angels.”
“Th-that’s blasphemy!”
“That is for me to decide.”
They took credit for Master Mollan’s achievements so shamelessly. If not for his generosity, then the angels themselves would’ve been subjected to God’s judgment.
“I’ll say it again. Bow down or die.”
“Don’t underestimate us.”
“Don’t underestimate me. Those who still have their heads held up will now meet their tragic end right here.”
Captain Fantasy followed my order.
The cute baby got up on his plump legs, trying to keep his balance, and began waving his arms in different directions. That wasn’t some new technique. It was just that his huge body, which was more than enough to fight Noebius himself on equal grounds, was already powerful and dangerous in itself.
BOOM! BOOM! POW!
The angels at the naked body of Ssosia from the skies turned to smithereens.
They weren’t even blown away by the impact.
This wasn’t a billiards game, so they didn’t react like in mangas or anime.
The angel’s bodies were unable to cope with the overwhelming mass and speed of Captain Fantasy. After all, he also possessed the new technique of the Demon Lord, Dark Matter.
They were simply torn apart by the pressure that slammed on their flesh.
The obscene angel wrapped in bandages was no exception.
Divinity’s normal attack deflection effect didn’t work because Captain Fantasy was far from ordinary.
Not even a body was left of the enemies’ leader.
“A-aaaaaahh!”
Frightened by the small child, the angels immediately bowed down. There was no longer any brave man that dared stare at Ssosia.
Their crime was the thievery of other people’s merits!
Just for the fact that they wanted to claim the achievements of Master Mollan, whom the Holy Mollan Empire served, was enough for their feathers to be plucked out and for them to be enslaved.
But I was a merciful hero.
I just decided to pluck some feathers from them instead.
“Drug Hero, where are you going to use them?”
“In pillows and blankets. I don’t know if their feathers are softer and warmer than the ducks down there, but vain aristocrats and royal families will definitely buy them regardless of price. This is a very special item that can only be purchased in the Holy Mollan Empire!
“I see! Haha!” The First Spirit laughed awkwardly.
“Addicted Spirit, why are you so happy?”
“I’m just glad that my wings won’t be ruined as well.”
The city of angels, El Molando, was peacefully annexed by the Holy Mollan Empire. When the Holy Empire learned of this, an uprising immediately occurred.
The sick emperor and his heir, the First Prince, were publicly executed in front of an angry mob. And the imperial princess, who led this uprising, placed the Holy Empire in my hands.
After that, it immediately began to rain.
And that wasn’t even caused by the universe.
At the right time, when I visited “Lake Mollan,” I killed the “Guard Ullullu,” who was sleeping at the bottom of the lake.
I attacked him without even giving him a chance to wake up!
During the 2nd Round, it rained for ten days because of that catfish-headed giant, which gave me problems.
But this time, it was different.
“Rain! Rain is coming!”
“The Emperor of the Holy Mollan Empire is a real God!
“Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Hooray!”
I announced that it would rain for ten days. Indeed, the rain stopped on the tenth day.
After that, my Reputation and Glory reached MAX rank.
Even if there were people who resented the fact that I forcibly annexed small principalities, now they huddled in a corner in silence. They realized that they couldn’t resist the will of God, who could control nature itself.
There were more reasons.
All paths led to Mollan.
All the towns and villages of the Holy Mollan Empire, which united the entire Central Continent of Fantasy, were connected by roads to Mollanpolis.
Thus, the trade turnover accelerated, due to which the economies of the losing states began to grow again.
That wasn’t all either.
“I’m a gigolo, living off a rich bride. This is the dream of all men.”
“I may be the happiest demon in the universe. I’m ready to go crazy with happiness.”
Ssosia smiled at me, revealing her soul and her wallet.
She was the head of the Dark Commerce. And I was her husband.
Everything that belonged to her was mine, and everything that belonged to me was hers.
But because of the boundless love of her beautiful husband, Ssosia was so moved that she abandoned everything, making her assets my property.
Finally, my kindness had been rewarded!
‘Trainee Teacher, I’ve been thinking.’
? Interest: About what?
‘Friendship and hope are still useless, but love, if used correctly, can be useful on a hero’s journey!’
? Difficulty: It seems to me that the love that you’re talking about and the love that is expected from the heroes in the educational course are slightly different… But this can also be considered the power of love.
‘Trainee Teacher, you’re not only both beautiful and quirky. You’ll also make an excellent educator.’
? Blush: O-of course. Hmm-hmm!
By uniting the Central Continent, which was the economic center of the Fantasy World, I had announced a major national project for this year.
Trade routes? That was a simple task.
There was something more important than that. If I hadn’t taken possession of Dark Commerce, I wouldn’t have been able to solve this pressing problem.
“It’s time to equip everyone with flush toilets to make this world a better place!”
Finally, after 63 years, I was able to fulfill my little dream.
***
The eighth hero was called up for secondary education in Grade F on my 64th-year of being a hero.
The new hero was a young girl. She was different from the seventh Foolish Hero, who announced that he would start a coup d’état (challenge me). Although she looked young, she was actually at least 300 years old.
? Type: Personal file
? Name: Lulu
? Alignment: Lawful Good
? Main Quality: Coquetry
? Experience: 308 years
? Record: 2
? Overall Rating: Lulu is an honorary student who uses love and friendship to her advantage. However, she failed due to her excessive utilization of the aforementioned concepts. She’s so used to solving problems by relying on lovers and companions that her skills are low. There are different opinions on her account among teachers. Regardless, it would be better if she can learn independence from the strange student.
Who was that strange independent student they kept mentioning? How pathetic. Well, love was the trend right now.
In any case, I needed to deal with the hero in front of me first.
“Welcome to the Holy Mollan Empire.”
“Wow! You are truly incredible. You started as a hero but then became emperor in a short period. I really respect you, Han Soo.”
How dare she, a 300-year-old granny, address me, a single- no, a married man who wasn’t even 80 years old, so familiarly?
Regardless, I didn’t show that it touched me in any way. I had the secret ability to view the personal files of other students, after all.
“Everyone’s capable of respecting me.”
A true hero could easily control these savages.
“And I heard that you invented a flush toilet. That’s just amazing! This is a bit embarrassing, but going to the toilet was really hard for me until I got used to the bushes.
After I finally annexed the Holy Empire, the last free country on the Central Continent, I was able to start the flush toilet’s mass production with the help of Ssosia, who knew the structure and construction procedure of it.
I didn’t invent anything.
The cowardly demoness hid this greatest invention in her room and used it all for herself. She even had a bidet too!
For such a crime, I forbade Ssosia to use the flush toilet.
Therefore, she secretly began to use the slime toilet. I pretended not to see or hear her groans and suffering.
“Eighth Hero, Have you said everything you’ve got to say?”
“Huh? Oh, uh, yes…”
“I am also a hero. Therefore, I can say that I understand the feelings of our kind better than others. I will give you enough funds for equipment and a journey. All you’ll have to think about is overcoming one of the Five Great Disasters on the Southern Continent.
“Wow! Thank you so much! Who will go with me?”
“Do you need an escort?”
“I-I n-need… just a few…”
I remembered the overall rating of the eighth Hero, “Lulu.” Perhaps that’s what the file meant when it stated that she relied too much on love and friendship.
Companions?
I didn’t know if anyone would want to go with such a burden. But all the same, she would need someone with whom she could talk to on the way to the Southern Continent. Maybe a porter as well.
I showed her my heroic and righteous smile.
“Tell me who you want to go with. If the companion is from the Central Continent, then I will try to help.”
“Wow! Then can I get Prince Nasus?”
“He is the busy governor of the western province, which used to be the Elf Kingdom.”
“Then Alex and Lanuvel!”
“Those two died on the Western Continent.”
“T-then the Saintess and Commander Thomas of the Holy Knights.”
“Saintess A has become the busy governor of the eastern province, formerly known as the Holy Kingdom and the Trade Republic, and Tomato died three years ago after falling off a cliff.”
“Um… and the mermaid princess Aqua?”
“I raised her as a pet in an aquarium in my office, but she is unlikely to agree to go with you since you are a girl.”
“Then who’s left?” Lulu sounded bewildered.
I thought about it for less than a second before answering.
“How about Sylvia, the elven princess? She is now pregnant, so it is difficult to go with her now, but I think it will be possible for her to join you next year after giving birth.”
“…”
“Don’t be so disappointed. If you want a big sleeping bag, I can introduce you to amazing men. 31 people. What do you think? Not a bad variety for the trip.”
“N-don’t…”
Wow! So she refused government assistance?
It seemed that the overall assessment in her personal file was rather biased. Just looking at her, I already knew she didn’t rely so much on others.
