Chapter 107 : Chapter 107
Chapter 107: Samurai (4)
The world was surprised.
The cellphone screen blinked as if it were overloading.
The comments pouring below the Nutube live window had already become memes, and retweets were changing numbers by the second.
"Everyone! Our Demon King brought down the Supreme King with a single finger flick!"
Kim Chun-sik shouted with the live broadcast being filmed by the Association employee as a background.
Honestly, one could just watch the live broadcast turned on by the Association employee.
But what kind of animal is a human?
Aren't they animals that feel more fun in being with someone, having someone explain things, and communicating.
Comments piled up next to Kim Chun-sik's face to the point where they were hard to read.
― The dignity of a Korean teacher.
― As expected.
Demon King.
― The downfall of the Samurai is tasty, chilling, and let it go.
― Are there ranks among returnees too…….
― But the Demon King is seriously chilling whenever I see him.
Overwhelming strength.
― But looking at it like this, wasn't that lightning bolt at Yeoncheon just showmanship?
I feel like he could have killed all the giants with just finger flicks.
― China destroyed.
― Then is China Korea's now?
― The President is separate.
― Is the President higher?
Or is the Returnee higher?
― This guy doesn't know politics.
Have you seen a Returnee doing politics?
― Don't fight.
It's a day of national prestige.
Have a drink.
Kim Chun-sik and the Demon King believers continued to marvel at Yoo Jin's overwhelming victory.
It wasn't just Korea.
Not only Korea but the entire world could not close their mouths at the Supreme King's defeat.
The image of the fallen Supreme King and the Demon King looking down at him was being reflected in the official residences of each country.
It might just look like a situation where, to put it vulgarly, two grown adults had a head-to-head fight in a swimming pool.
But it created an aftermath and backlash as big as a world war.
The Presidents of each country issued orders to enter an emergency system.
And they took time to quickly reorganize the diplomatic issues of each country.
It was just a fight between two people, but one nation had lost in a war.
That was the conclusion of the foreign press.
And with the downfall of China, which didn't show up well at peace treaty meetings anyway and picked fights with this country and that country in the world like a problem child, the international situation began to move rapidly once again.
And China, which was at the center of this incident…….
"How on earth did this happen! Why did that guy go to Korea! And why the hell did he pick a fight with a Korean Returnee and get thrashed!!!!"
The President of China, unable to understand what had happened, threw everything placed on his desk and could not hold back his anger.
He had no choice.
Because he didn't know at all about this huge matter.
Happened because of that small incident where his daughter, the Princess, messed with a Korean Returnee's student.
***
Meanwhile, the battlefield that remained like the debris of the swimming pool was quiet.
No laughter, shouts, or heat burst out.
Even if the world saw it as a war.
What happened here was not a battle or a fight.
But the struggle of one man.
Yoo Jin, who was looking at the fallen Supreme King, moved his head.
And then he pointed his finger at a certain spot.
There.
"Uh……."
The Association employee holding a camera was seen.
It was the person who was in charge of guiding the Samurai.
"Hey, you. Turn that off now."
"Yes…? What do you mean……."
"Don't make this guy... suffer humiliation anymore."
At Yoo Jin's firm tone, the Association employee quickly lowered the phone.
And ended the broadcast.
Yoo Jin, having confirmed that, looked down at the Samurai who had fainted.
Yoo Jin had something to ask when this guy woke up.
***
At that time, the Chinese Embassy in Korea.
"This crazy! That useless bastard!!!! Aaaah!"
Shaw(Little Princess) picked up and threw objects as they came into her hands.
Telephone.
Nameplate.
Documents.
Etc.
If it was nearby, she grabbed and threw everything regardless of what it was.
This is the reason why parents are the mirrors of their children.
Anyway.
Shiver―
At Shaw's rage, an embassy employee was curling his body in the corner and trembling.
Even amidst the fear, his mind was rotating fast.
'What happens now? Is the country ruined?'
That was that, but…….
The employee's eyes turned toward Shaw, who was still unable to overcome her anger and was expressing her rage.
'Somehow…… I feel like today is the last time I'll see her... what is this…….'
He just had such a feeling.
***
Taewoon High School.
Swimming Pool.
The eyes of the Samurai who had fainted slowly opened.
"Did I lose…… I……."
A voice flowed out calmly.
How he lost.
Or exactly what he was hit by didn't come to mind, but.
He knew one thing for certain.
"Right, I lost."
That now, he could not even become China's dog.
The blue sky was captured in his vision.
How long has it been since he lay spread-eagled like this.
The strongest Samurai.
Returnee.
Supreme King.
After obtaining those names, falling on the floor like this was something unimaginable.
Because this had never happened even in the battle against the Heavenly King, whom he thought was stronger than himself.
Unlike the clear sky in his eyes, his insides were gloomy.
Because he knew too well what would happen now.
A tool can only have the name of a tool when it is useful.
When it becomes useless, the tool changes its name to trash and is discarded.
Overwhelming power.
Even if he had swordsmanship that could split the moon.
The Supreme King failed.
So he would be abandoned by China, by Shaw.
And those words meant.
That the things he had endured without giving up until now would turn into foam.
The Samurai's vision blurred.
Pent-up anger and sorrow.
Emotions of rage burst out in a complex mix.
At that moment.
"Are you awake?"
The Demon King's face was captured in his vision.
Yoo Jin's face smiling like a prankster.
If someone saw it, they wouldn't imagine he was the opponent who fought risking his life just moments ago.
The Samurai Toshi slowly raised his body.
And then he slowly knelt.
"I admit defeat."
"But…… what are you doing?"
The Samurai who was kneeling took off his top.
"Now I have no future. You said the burden would disappear if only the sword was gone…… no, the burden does not disappear. A shackle heavier than that is on me. I cannot endure that. So let me ask you one favor, Returnee."
Toshi looked up at Yoo jin.
"Send me off cleanly."
Having said that, Toshi took out a small knife from his pocket.
The children watching from the surroundings began to buzz.
Because something they had only seen in classic movies was about to unfold before their eyes.
Ritual suicide.
"Perhaps this might have been a good choice. For those children and for me too……."
Leaving behind words of unknown meaning, Toshi stabbed the dagger he held in reverse toward his stomach.
"No! Mister!"
"Stop……."
Thud!
The Class A students who were running to stop the Samurai hardened like stone just like that.
"……."
"……."
It was clearly captured in their gaze.
A man standing in the spot where the Samurai was.
"Don't do weird stuff, you punk. In front of the kids."
Yoo jin, who had extended his foot long as if kicking a soccer ball, returned his foot to its original position.
The Samurai, who was stuck in the corner wall of the swimming pool, looked at Yoo Jin with an absurd expression.
"What era is ritual suicide from, and what? Send you off cleanly? This bastard is making me a murderer in front of the kids. And if you bleed, who does the cleaning? The cleaning! Replacing all the swimming pool water, wiping the floor. Ah, you have a knack for making people annoyed."
"……."
The Samurai, who stared blankly at Yoo jin for a long time.
"Ha... ha... hahaha!!!!"
Laughed.
Loudly.
Very loudly…….
"Truly…… just as I heard…… you are a fascinating person……."
The Samurai smiled gently.
***
A while later.
"Come play again, Mister."
"I absolutely won't lose next time!"
"Let's play water gun fight together then too."
The Class A students waved their hands at the Supreme King.
Where else would there be people who treat a Returnee possessing power that makes the whole world tremble like this.
However, just for today.
Because they played together in the swimming pool, the children could know.
That that Samurai called the Supreme King, nicknamed a slaughter machine, was a completely different person from what was known to the public.
The Samurai, capturing the children in his eyes, smiled lightly and waved his hand.
His gaze, which was directed at the children, moved.
"I will come to take revenge again next time."
"Anytime. But you should exercise a bit. You're too weak."
A smile spread on the lips of Yoo jin and Toshi.
"Then... I'm going...."
Toshi, who spat out the final farewell, turned his body.
The final expression of the Samurai captured in Yoo jin's gaze was.
'That's an expression that says we won't meet again, isn't it?'
It was a face where the name 'next' did not exist at all.
The Samurai walking away like that.
'As expected…….'
Yoo Jin, having made up his mind, looked at the Samurai's back and shouted.
"Hey, it makes no sense for a guy like you to be held by that woman."
The Samurai's steps stopped.
"If it's that question, I answered it earlier. If the world says it is so, you just have to believe it is so...."
The Samurai tried to take a step again.
At that moment.
"Hey, you are being held, right? With that lifespan as a hostage."
The Samurai's body, which was about to take a step, turned around quickly.
"How did you……."
Violently trembling eyes.
Yoo Jin had already become certain during the battle, but it became a fact.
However.
"If you don't know how I knew. It doesn't matter even if you know. No, I can't help it. I have no choice but to follow her words."
Darkness cast heavily.
He must have been properly gaslighted.
Or he struggled no matter how much he tried, but failed every time…….
Yoo jin, looking at Toshi whose spirit was broken, opened his mouth.
"You just have to take that back again. The lifespan."
"If that was that easy, I wouldn't be doing this. If I kill that woman, the people whose lifespans were stolen will all die too!"
"……."
The Samurai, who shouted without realizing it, hid his emotions.
And then he looked at Yoo Jin's face again for the final goodbye.
"I'm sorry. Forget the last story. Since it doesn't matter……."
"That's easy though?"
Yoo Jin picking his nose was captured in the Samurai's eyes.
Wait.
Just now, what did he say was easy……?
"Eh?"
The Samurai made a dumbfounded expression.
***
A while later.
Chinese Embassy.
"……."
The Samurai was making an expression as if his soul had left him.
"Whew, look at this. I told you it was easy?"
Yoo Jin's surroundings were devastated.
And in front of Yoo jin.
Shaw had fainted.
With foam even biting at her mouth.
Yoo jin put the gourd he was holding in his hand back into his pocket.
Is this a dream?
This is reality?
The Samurai's eyes and mouth were twice, no, three times larger than usual.
Because an incomprehensible thing had happened.
Even with the power called a Returnee.
Even with strength that could possess the world.
Something he couldn't do.
The shackle he couldn't escape no matter how much he struggled.
The lifespans of the orphanage children who were more precious than himself.
His Way of the Warrior…….
This man in front of his eyes.
Yoo Jin, called the Demon King.
Because he returned it so very easily.
"Big Brother!!"
The Samurai Toshi hugged Yoo jin.
"Let go of this... what are you……."
"I will serve you as Big Brother for the rest of my life!!!!"
Yoo Jin gained one strange younger brother.
