At first, Joo Eunji celebrated her own success and felt proud, but as time went on, she began to feel anxious.

"Why isn't there any contact?"

If she had fallen for someone, it was only natural for them to contact her first.

Among those who had fallen for her before, there had never been a case where they didn't contact her first.

Even the King of the Underworld had a difficult process of falling for her, but once he did, things progressed quickly...

"Could it be that the effect of falling for me has weakened...?"

With the fact that there had been no contact from the other party for two days, Joo Eunji could make a guess that was almost certain.

Especially the young man among them was particularly restless because he couldn't contact her.

Like Baran, who had briefly fallen for her in the Waiting Guild.

He even sent a long English text message from the United States, how did he know her contact information?

But she didn't receive any messages?

This could only be interpreted as the effect of falling for her almost disappearing.

"Ugh... how troublesome."

Joo Eunji bit her lip.

If the effect of falling for her had actually been lifted, the other party was really annoying.

She had even used expensive Akashic Pages, and if this was the result...

The only thing that could definitely provoke Sung JiHan was the main body.

"But because of the King of the Underworld, the main body can't come..."

If the King of the Underworld had the abnormal states of "subjugation" and "fanaticism," he could have left for a few days.

But because subjugation and fanaticism didn't work due to the effect of the King of the Underworld's twin swords.

Instead, she put in "obsession" and "dependence," so the main body couldn't easily leave the King of the Underworld's side.

If she left, her relationship with the King of the Underworld would deteriorate rapidly.

"But still, if I can just take him to Tokyo..."

It was okay for the King of the Underworld to be a few hours away.

"This time, should I use a few even if it's a bit excessive?"

Joo Eunji thought of Takeba.

He also had something usable among the supporting artifacts.

If she made him use an Akashic Page, it would be somewhat effective on Sung JiHan.

"If I can release the falling effect myself, I shouldn't engage in a long battle. I should settle it with a short battle."

As an expert in falling effects, Joo Eunji assessed the situation and sent a text message to Sung JiHan's contact information.

[Owner~ Are you free today by any chance?]

This time, she prepared three Akashic Pages as weapons.

"Ha. It cost more than 100 billion yen..."

No matter how much Ito Shizuru was called the goddess of the Japanese political and business world, and firmly established herself as the ruler after the war.

Even for her, using four Akashic Pages was a significant loss.

"Sung JiHan... you don't even have a salary."

Until she recoups her investment, she'll have to get by with just one meal a day.

Joo Eunji gritted her teeth.

Sword Palace's Penthouse, Training Room.

"Wow. Uncle. Look at this."

After completing a difficult training, Yoon Sae-ah giggled while watching the edited video of herself on her smartphone.

[The secret of +7 Stamina... Focusing on Yoon Sae-ah's stat increase!]

Yoon Sae-ah achieved +7 Stamina solely through training, without any remaining points invested.

Although the view count of Sung JiHan's training video was the highest, Yoon Sae-ah's training video became the biggest topic of discussion on the guild channel this time.

"Wow... I'm really ugly! Why didn't you tell me?"

Yoon Sae-ah's face, wrinkled with arrogance while doing deadlifts, was clearly exposed in the video.

Yoon Sae-ah laughed while looking at it.

"I told you before we started filming. Your face gets messed up when you really work out."

"Hehe... I didn't know it would be this bad. It's really severe."

Although she said she didn't like it, Yoon Sae-ah was enjoying this situation.

"But even though I look like this, there are a lot of friendly comments."

Until now, there were many malicious comments about Yoon Sae-ah.

But as people witnessed her insane training that made them drop their jaws, and as she proved her achievements in this short period of time, the public's perception of her had become more favorable than she had expected.

That's why Yoon Sae-ah was smiling so happily.

"Uncle. But what class should I choose?"

After staring at the video comments for a while, Yoon Sae-ah asked Sung JiHan about her profession.

"Do you have any thoughts?"

"I was thinking about Warrior or Archer..."

"Why those two?"

"Warrior because of Ito, and Archer because I've had various training at the academy... I surprisingly have a talent for hitting the mark."

Yoon Sae-ah struck a pose as if shooting a bow and laughed.

"But Archer is so strong in Korean national archery, right? So if I change to Archer, it would be difficult to beat that Ito guy who naturalized in Japan."

Perhaps because Korea was famous for its archery skills.

Among the archer class players in Korea, there was only one with the highest gift grade, which was S-grade.

Because the base shooting skills were so excellent, Korea's archer power was known to be solid.

"Then Warrior should be fine. The competition for Warrior national team is relatively easier, right?"

"Well, that's true."

Yoon Sae-ah glanced at Sung JiHan and muttered softly.

"If I change to Warrior, I don't think I can beat you, Uncle. I don't think I can become the best."

Hearing those words, Sung JiHan burst into laughter.

"If you choose Archer, it would be difficult to be selected for the national team. But if you choose Warrior, it would be difficult to become the best."

"Yeah. Uncle, you're so strong like a monster!"

Sung JiHan looked at Yoon Sae-ah with admiration.

If someone heard this, they might think that she was already worried about being selected for the national team in the Bronze Division, or whether she would become the strongest player.

They could also say that she was drinking too much seaweed soup.

"If Se-ah has the perseverance, she definitely has the qualifications to speak."

Didn't Jin Yu-hwa from China, who also had perseverance, quickly become the world's second-ranked player?

There was nothing Se-ah couldn't do.

No, she actually awakened faster than Jin Yu-hwa, so she has plenty of time to grow compared to her.

Whether it's a warrior or an archer, she will be able to aim for the strongest.

It was admirable that Sung Ji-han's niece had a firm goal.

But being admirable is being admirable.

"That judgment... is very accurate."

Facts had to be conveyed as they were.

"Se-ah, as long as I'm here, you can never become the best as a warrior. In Korean history, no, the best warrior on Earth will be me."

"Wow... that's unfortunate."

"What can you do, it's the truth."

Especially with family, facts must be conveyed without any additions or subtractions.

Sung Ji-han shrugged his shoulders and advised Yoon Se-ah.

"If you aim to be the strongest in your class, I recommend becoming an archer."

"Because my uncle will be the best as a warrior?"

"Yes. I won't come down from the top."

Sung Ji-han asserted confidently.

Sung Ji-han, the warrior class, would eventually become the best on Earth.

Of course, this was not just baseless arrogance.

"Even when I didn't have any power, I was the strongest."

In the previous life, even when he only had physical strength, Sung Ji-han was the strongest warrior.

There were formidable competitors, but the Sword King, who was the strongest in the past, disappeared without a trace.

The warriors who appeared afterwards were all surpassed by Sung Ji-han or died and disappeared.

"And there was Jin Yu-hwa from China, who was also an archer."

Jin Yu-hwa, who had the gift of perseverance.

She rose to second place in the world rankings as an archer.

Although the gift of perseverance didn't seem to determine the class, Sung Ji-han advised her to become an archer because of her past life experience.

"Alright. To be honest, I was somewhat inclined towards becoming an archer. But now that my uncle has clearly told me that he won't come down from the top, I've made up my mind."

"As an archer?"

"Yes. If I'm going to do it, I'll aim for the top."

Yoon Se-ah, who had made up her mind, chose the archer class.

"Well then, shall we stop resting and go back to the weights?"

"Um... but now that I'm becoming an archer, this kind of brute training..."

"Brute training? As an archer, physical strength is essential. Besides, your stamina hasn't changed to resilience yet."

Yoon Se-ah's stamina is currently at +7.

There are only 3 more points until +10, so it was time to train harder.

"Ugh. Devil..."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Thud. Thud.

Sung JiHan floated the plates and inserted them on both sides of the barbell.

When the weight increased by 10 kilograms from earlier, Yoon Se-ah sighed deeply and stood up.

Even if you're an archer, this hellish training seems endless.

Boooooom-

At that moment.

The smartphone that was left in the training room vibrated.

[Owner~ Are you available today by any chance?]

It had been 2 days since Sung JiHan pretended to be fascinated, and he received a text from Ju Eun-ji.

Sung JiHan thought to himself when he saw the text.

'Wait... Shouldn't I have sent this first?'

Since he was the one who was fascinated, he had to show that he was falling for the other person.

But he had taken the number from this side and made the other person contact him first.

'Oh... I forgot because I haven't lived like this before.'

Including his past life, Sung JiHan had never contacted someone first regarding a romantic relationship.

He had done well in acting fascinated in front of him, but his follow-up actions were lacking.

Sung JiHan sighed and asked his nephew for help to make up for it.

"Se-ah. I have a question about relationships between men and women."

"Relationships? Wouldn't you know better than me, who just graduated from high school? What did you say... the master of women's hearts?"

"I feel like I messed up because of that master's touch. Well... let me give you an example."

Sung JiHan looked at Ju Eun-ji's text and calmly explained the current situation.

"The man is completely infatuated with the woman."

"Yeah."

"But the man doesn't contact her first."

"Yeah."

"So the woman, feeling frustrated, contacts him first. Then who is more urgent?"

In response to Sung JiHan's question, Yoon Se-ah responded with a puzzled expression.

"Is it possible that the roles of the man and woman have been reversed?"

"No."

"Then obviously... the one who contacted first is more urgent, right? Since the woman contacted first. It's urgent on that side."

"Of course, that's how it would be, right?"

"But is it true that the man is infatuated? If he is, he would naturally contact her first, right? When I got accepted into the academy, I thought my phone was on fire because the seniors kept contacting me."

"Why?"

"Because the seniors kept contacting me. Later, rumors about who my dad was spread, and they became quiet."

Yoon Se-ah raised her chin and talked about how she had exploded in popularity when she entered the academy.

Sung JiHan realized his mistake.

'If this guy knows, then Ju Eun-ji must have noticed too...'

As an expert in infatuation, there was no way she wouldn't notice.

'She might set a trap on that side.'

While thinking that, Sung JiHan sent a text.

"Yes. I'm available. Shall we meet today?"
