To ordinary people, superhumans were like celebrities.

Because of this, just like galleries dedicated to celebrities, there were galleries dedicated to superhumans.

Right now, one of those superhuman galleries was burning up with a single topic.

[Title] [Guys, huge news huge news!]

An Arena Academy student killed a high-tier Fallen!

[Comments]

– ? What are you talking about

– A student took down a high-tier? A Fallen at that? No way

– LOL LOL LOL does a high-tier look like a pushover to you

– [OP] No it’s true! A student really did kill a Fallen!!

ㄴ Oh yeah that’s surprisingly true…, is what you thought I’d say? Not a chance!

ㄴ OP, did you have a dream? How could a student take down a high-tier? Even if they did, it must have been a low-tier.

ㄴ That’s not necessarily true. An Arena Academy student could take down a mid-to-low tier

ㄴ How do you know that?

ㄴ Because I did it

ㄴ ? Are you an Arena student?

ㄴ Yeah, Arena graduate

ㄴ Oh, so what are you doing now?

ㄴ Right now I’m browsing the gallery

ㄴ ?

ㄴ ?

ㄴ Idiots….

– [OP] You bastards! Since you won’t believe me, I brought an article! [Link]

ㄴ If I click that will my computer get hacked?

ㄴ OMG was OP a hacker? OP I’m sorry for doubting you!

ㄴ [OP] Nooooo!!!! Just believe me you bastards!

ㄴ Look at OP making typos in anger LOL

ㄴ Ah let’s just believe him LOL

– Guys I think what OP said is true? I clicked the link and there really is an article

ㄴ [OP] Ah I thought I was going to burst from frustration!

ㄴ What the heck, why is this real OMG

ㄴ A student really killed a high-tier Fallen? How?

ㄴ Did they just land the final blow after heroes nearly finished it off?

ㄴ [OP] No, heroes testified that the student took it down alone

ㄴ Oh really..? That’s insane.

ㄴ Then what were the heroes doing while the student was killing the Fallen alone?

ㄴ Who knows

ㄴ Ah is that something we don’t know

– But when did the Fallen appear? We didn’t get any terror alert texts today?

ㄴ A Fallen didn’t appear, a rift occurred

ㄴ A rift appeared but they killed a Fallen? Was it an abnormal rift?

ㄴ Yeah they say it was an abnormal rift

ㄴ Wow, really? Glad I didn’t go out again today..

ㄴ ? Again today?

ㄴ OP go outside for once!!

ㄴ Ah the outside is dangerous~

ㄴ True, staying inside is the safest

[Title] [Info on the student who killed the Fallen is out!]

His name is Lee Yu-jin

Apparently he’s the top student at Arena Academy

[Comments]

– Ah, the one who killed the Fallen was the top student? That makes sense then

ㄴ Why does that make sense? Who are they?

ㄴ Don’t you know? There were Arthur and Lee Seo-yeon among the new Arena Academy students this year, and this kid beat them to become top student.

ㄴ Oh really? Are they that strong?

ㄴ It’s not just strong.

ㄴ Yeah they say he completely crushed Arthur and Lee Seo-yeon.

ㄴ Wow, that’s incredible;

– Isn’t this top student only 20 years old?

ㄴ Yeah that’s right

ㄴ As a new Arena Academy student they must be 20

ㄴ But they’re already killing high-tier Fallen? Total monster

ㄴ Hey, monster? That’s our country’s treasure!

ㄴ LOL already fawning over them

ㄴ They deserve it, killing a high-tier Fallen at 20 years old.

ㄴ True LOL

Posts related to the Fallen, Arena Academy, top student, Lee Yu-jin, etc. were rising to real-time best posts as soon as they were written.

And this phenomenon wasn’t just happening in Korean communities.

[Why Japan has fallen behind Korea]

Article about a Korean academy student killing a high-tier Fallen [Link]

With monsters like this being born only in Korea, how can Japan compete with Korea?

[Comments]

– Starting with the Shuhei family being pro-Korea, we probably can’t beat Korea for 100 years.

ㄴ 100 years? No way, make that 1,000 years wwwww

ㄴ wwwww Hey hey, are we falling 1,000 years behind?!

ㄴ Whoa! Korea is the best!!

– Honestly I think it’s a good thing. With Fallen increasing lately, the steady appearance of promising youths like this means there’s still hope for this world.

ㄴ I think so too.

ㄴ Me too.

ㄴ I hope that student helps our Japan later.

ㄴ Right.. I’m so scared because Fallen are causing terror more and more frequently these days.

[A new star has appeared in Korea]

Everyone look at this. [Link]

I really think Korea must be a country blessed by God.

[Comments]

– An Arena Academy freshman means they’re 20 years old right? And they’re already killing high-tier Fallen? Unbelievable!

– As the OP said, Korea is definitely a blessed country. That’s why promising youths like this keep appearing.

– A student already killing high-tier Fallen, it’s a shame they weren’t born in America.

ㄴ Right, if they were born in America they could have become an excellent heretic inquisitor.

[What if this kid joined the Round Table?]

[Link]

They’d at least be Number 13, right?

[Comments]

– I think they could even make Number 10?

ㄴ Fool, forget about Numbers, we have to think about whether they’ll even come to England first.

ㄴ Why, they could come.

ㄴ If it were me, I wouldn’t.

ㄴ No, why?

ㄴ The food isn’t tasty.

ㄴ Ah…

This was happening in many countries including Japan, America, and England.

Literally, Lee Yu-jin was a hot topic in every country.

And it was the same in the place that used to be China.

“Hmm, a new promising youth that appeared in Korea…”

A woman with a seductive appearance like a succubus let out a nasal sound while reading an article on her phone.

“This child, handsome with sharp eyes, is just my type.”

The woman said that and licked her lips.

But that appearance was not like when meeting an attractive person of the opposite sex, but more like when discovering delicious food.

“Don’t you think so too?”

The woman’s gaze moved from the phone downwards.

And below her, a man was pinned down by the woman.

The man, despite wearing a pained expression, sneered at the woman’s question and answered:

“Hehehe… Hallucination, you filthy thing, know your place. How dare you covet huma- Aaaaargh!”

But the man couldn’t finish his words.

Three tentacles sprouted from the tailbone of the woman called Hallucination.

Those tentacles pierced his body, causing such immense pain that he could only scream.

“Aaaah! Aaaaargh!”

“Oh my, you think so too?”

Although what came out of the man’s mouth was not language but screams.

Hallucination nodded with a satisfied expression, as if that was an answer.

But that expression only lasted for a moment.

“Is it because I found my type? You, I’m getting bored of you now.”

Hallucination frowned as if she had eaten something unpleasant and raised her hand.

And as she swung her palm towards the man’s face.

Splat!

Like a balloon popping, the man’s head exploded.

“Ah, I just ruined my appetite.”

Hallucination got up from on top of the man she was sitting on and said that, shaking the blood off her hand onto the floor.

Then she pulled out the tentacles that were embedded in the man’s body.

“I should dispose of food waste thoroughly, right?”

She began to swing her tentacles towards the man’s corpse.

Swish swish swish!

A sound like a whip being swung echoed.

And after a very short time.

There was only a pool of blood on the floor, with no trace of the man’s corpse to be found.

Only then did Hallucination smile as if refreshed and lift up the phone in her hand.

And looking at the photo of Lee Yu-jin attached to the article.

“Aah… I want to eat him soon.”

She exhaled hot breath with an excited expression.

“Lee Yu-jin, was it?”

The name written in the phone article.

Hallucination sweetly uttered that name as if calling a lover and said while caressing Lee Yu-jin beyond the phone screen.

“Wait just a little, I’ll come find you soon.”

Hallucination said that and began to move her steps.

Towards Arena Academy in Korea.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

“Is someone talking about me?”

Suddenly feeling my ear itch, I paused what I was doing for a moment and scratched my ear.

And only after the itching in my ear disappeared did I lean back against the headboard of the bed where I always received rewards.

“Hehehe!”

Laughter flowed out without me realizing.

But I couldn’t help but laugh.

That was because right now, before my eyes,

The clear message window for the ‘Great Achievement’ quest was visible.

“Ha! Look at that glow!”

Main quests were golden.

Event quests were rainbow-colored.

This Great Achievement quest shone with a brilliant red light like a ruby jewel.

As if mesmerized, I reached out towards the red light.

And when I firmly clicked on the clear message window:

The basic reward was given.

And following that.

Bam ba ba bam!

The fanfare for additional rewards rang in my ears.

At this, unable to contain my rising anticipation, I shouted,

“Ah, hurry up and come out!”

I’m getting dizzy, so hurry!

But despite such urging, the speed at which the fanfare sound faded was very slow.

No, it might be the same as usual, but it sounded slow because I was so excited right now.

That was how much my current state had reached peak excitement, even by my own assessment.

After being excited like that for a while.

Ba ba bam…

Finally, the fanfare sound completely disappeared.

Ding.

The long-awaited system alarm sound rang in my ears.

And soon after, the reward appeared… not.

“…This is.”

Instead, what appeared were messages that made my eyes widen.

[You have achieved an unbelievable feat!]

[Calculating achievement details.]

[Achievement details calculation complete.]

[Starting new reward calculation.]

[…Please wait a moment.]

…

……

[…Reward calculation complete.]
