Chapter 166 – I Shouldn’t Have Done That~ I Didn’t Know That~ (3)
The guild master is uniquely strong among the representatives of the seven cities, but nonetheless, the other representatives do not check him, being wary of him emerging as a single force. Because of his usual attitude. Jeong Si-woo always tried to balance in a neutral area without taking sides, and most of the things he usually did were focused on the welfare of strangers coming to this world rather than developing the city. Although the individual’s power and influence are very strong, the city he belongs to was not a very powerful place, so he did not need to check it on a city-by-city basis.
However, Akawiki felt a crisis when the guild master, who usually strictly adhered to the role of neutrality, favorably favored the new city representative candidate after defeating Vilgames today. If the guild master continued to help the teacher whose purpose was unknown, there was no way he could stop it.
I don’t know why he, who had volunteered to be the guardian of the balance, suddenly wanted to break the balance he had created, but Akawiki didn’t want that balance to collapse. Soon, he focused on the reason why the guild master had no choice but to break the balance, and the cause of such change.
Landfill’s teacher.
I have no idea what the hell I was doing. At least the information we know is that the Goddess of Justice was an inmate who was imprisoned in the lowest layer of Skyron as soon as she came to this world due to a warning, and that she can perform something special in relation to the human mind, with that power Vilgames It was all that he had destroyed the kingdom of the King in one day, and even that was known to everyone else in this conference hall.
If you know your enemy and know yourself, you win a hundred battles. At the end of the meeting, he was the first to attend this meeting, but as a result, staring at him who was promised the most from the guild master, Aka Wiki was determined. By removing the causes of change, errors are corrected and the existing equilibrium system is restored.

The meeting ended successfully. To be honest, I thought I would be hostile because of the record of half-destroying the kingdom of Vilgames, but I don’t know what I’m expecting, but thanks to the guild master, who is noticeably trying to make a good impression, and Eleista, who is at least familiar with me, sided with me. As a result, many unexpected things were gained from this meeting.
First of all, since the treaty with Eldland has been officially recognized, no one can object to sending a large amount of material support to Landfill from Eldland in return for dispatching personnel. In addition, it was revealed that the main cause of the invasion of Eldland was Vilgames, and there was little responsibility that came back to me, and in addition, I was going to actively review the charges against me and the conditions for my release. There will be no
…Yes. Too idealistic
They are giving too much convenience to an all-time dangerous person who drove a country to the brink of destruction in an instant through seven monsters.
If there is such a thing as common sense, it is normal to be vigilant and check those who have that much power regardless of whether they are guilty or not. However, among the representatives of the city gathered in the conference hall, except for Akawiki, no one directly showed their hostility toward me.
Yes, guild master. He took my side Because he wants something from me, so that I don’t end up arguing with the representatives of the city due to the active opposition of others here, in order to keep me next to him so that he can always attract me as his ally, that person stays with me for the time being. I defended myself even when I endured the backlash of others who came.
“In the end, what is the purpose of a guild master… Do you know anything?”
“…Sensei. There’s no way I could know the intentions of such a high-ranking person, right?”
“Well, I guess so.”
“…”
Ignoring Jean Sen’s stinging stare, who desperately wanted to say, “If you knew that, why would you ask?” I leaned back on the seat of the airship and closed my eyes.
“Here, sir.”
“Yes? Why?”
“Why, you didn’t answer the question I asked earlier. How on earth can I use my abilities so well?”
Zhang Sen let out a deep sigh.
“Have you ever thought about Sensei? I came to think that I could use it well at best by working hard in my own way, but how deprived I would feel if someone appeared in front of me who could use the same ability dozens of times as well as I did.”
“There’s no need to feel deprived. You’re currently at the forefront of the abilities I’ve raised. I’m just a special case. And the use of abilities… You have to study.”
“Study…?”
Sen asked if I didn’t understand what he was saying, wondering. Sensing that he would never be able to close his eyes until he got the answer he wanted, I sighed and offered him a more specific plan.
“First of all, Zhang Sen, you have learned enough about the sense of using your ability. But you lack the knowledge of how to use it well. To give an easy example… What machine works on what principle? I don’t know, but I know how to operate and operate the machine.”
“Um, so?”
“The great thing about your ability, [Distortion Acrobatics], Is that it’s ‘hard to predict.’ Even a person who knows that information can hardly cope with it. The area that needs to be prepared for prediction is too wide, so rather than understanding and preparing for information as knowledge, the success rate will be much higher if you cut it out with your instinctive reflexes. Then, here Question. Then, how best to use this ability?”
“Uh… Uh…”
I gave the answer to Zhang Sen, who seemed to know the answer, but not to the extent of giving a clear answer, so it was virtually the same as not knowing the answer.
“The correct answer is ‘flexibility of thought’.”
“Thinking, flexibility?”
“I told you. Even if you know the information, your ability is so wide that you have to prepare for it, and the more you know, the more difficult it is to deal with. You have to figure out what it is and aim for that loophole. What do you have to do to know under what circumstances and how to dig in to be effective? You have to study.”
“…”
“First of all, you will have to learn everything from physics to psychology and the structure of the human body. You have to be able to really understand the information, not just memorize it. You get it, right?”
“Can’t the teacher teach me?”
“Sorry. That’s not my field.”
Despite being called a teacher, Zhang Sen cursed at me, whose job was to teach me.
“Anyway, after you get back to Skyron, study what I’ve said in your spare time, and think of 20 or so things about how you can use it to your own abilities. Homework.”
“No, how can you just give homework when you haven’t been taught anything!!”
“Ah, if you don’t like it, then who is it?”
“… Sensei, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but you know that you really have a bad personality, right?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“It’s not a compliment!!”
As we chatted lightly like that, time passed before we knew it and we arrived at Landfill.
“Ummm, it’s only been a few days and I already miss it! Honey, am I too attached to this city now?”
“At first, I hated it because it smelled strange.”
“Ah, when was that story?”
“…Me, so.”
Back in the least peaceful city, between me and Mono, who had a peaceful talk, she asked anxiously.
“What exactly am I supposed to do?”
“Oh, nothing special… Just a few simple requests.”
But in spite of my kind and caring mercy, Nubis’ gaze towards me was full of anxiety and mistrust, and I felt sad that I was not trusted. No, why are you looking at me like that? How well am I a good and kind person who keeps my words?
“I’ve been waiting for you, sir!”
“Oh, Esk. You were there to meet me?”
“Yes. I’ve heard all the news about the teacher. That… Through the seven people you sent first.”
Yes, seven. The biggest harvest from this trip to Eldland, and at the same time tricky friends who don’t know when to explode.
“May I ask what they are doing? I warned them not to get into an accident…”
“Fortunately, I haven’t done anything that could be called an accident yet.”
If I didn’t say ‘yet’, it must mean that I’m on the verge of committing it right now.
“Whoa, I wanted to take a break… Okay. Then, Esk. For now, guide these two to my place.”
“Yes, I understand. By the way, who is the woman over there, would it be okay if I ask?”
At Esk’s polite question, Noubis looked in my direction and shook his head hurriedly and desperately. Are you asking me not to reveal my identity? The general of Eldland, Nubis, has never officially revealed her gender, but it is presumed that she is a man, and she does not seem to want to reveal that she is a woman…
“Just know that I’m a guest from Eldland. And since you’re an important guest, please refrain from rude behavior.”
“I wonder if there is. Then… Mono-sama and the guests. We will guide you.”
After having Esk escort Mono and Nubis to my house, I went to visit her seven friends, who were so overpowered that they might have an accident.

“It’s strange. I’m sure the bosses of the organization beat me to all parts of the city management, so why do I have so much work to do?”
It was 10 a.M. When I got back to Landfill by airship, but as soon as I got back to Landfill, I was running around, finishing up the things I had to deal with, and it was already after the sun had gone down.
“Ai-san… I’m dying of exhaustion both physically and mentally, but I’m overflowing with useless energy…”
While I was in Eldland, the time I spent with Mono wasn’t enough because I was dealing with Vilgames, and because of that, I had some unsatisfied desires. After extorting the spirit of dozens of men and exchanging bodies with the young dream queen, who was still not satisfied, it was terribly awkward to leave her lower body without using it for more than a day. Well, since today’s work is over, go back and have a few heartfelt conversations with Mono, then get a good night’s sleep…
“…Stop there.”
Landfill is a lawless zone, so the weak are taken away and killed, and the empty population is replenished with those abandoned from the outside. As a result, among the residents of Landfeel, the number of people who originally lived in this city is extremely small, and it is safe to say that about 80% of the residents are from other cities outside the city. In a situation where the reorganization of the integrated organization has not yet been completed, the security of Landfill has not changed as before, and more people lose their lives especially at night. By the way…
“Ha… I guess I’ll have to tell Do Seong-woon to hurry up the reorganization of the organization.”
The number of people surrounding me is five. Judging by the faces, they don’t seem to be from the organizations I’ve ruled over, and looking at them, they’re not people who have just come to Landfill. These guys… Yeah. They are residents who have lived in this landfill for a long time, but they do not belong to any other organization and live as independents.
“If you’re a person here, you probably don’t know who I am, right? And you probably don’t know what the consequences of your actions will be… Even so, can I ask why you did this?”
Mystic Guardians took their hands off Landfill, and I took care of Eldland myself. And Desperado will send adventurers if they’re going to send them, and they won’t entrust the work to untrustworthy locals like Landfill. If so, it would be a reasonable inference that there is another force behind this landfill, to be exact, who is targeting me…
“Other stupid idiots can be fooled, but we cannot be fooled.”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Are you still trying to pretend?”
Among the crowd that surrounded me, the biggest and most swarthy fellow stared at me ferociously and said,
“Your behavior… Is not that of a person who is good at fighting. He is not used to fighting, and has no talent for fighting. And what you did in the eastern docks… You said you did it, but unfortunately, none of our party He’s from Gistos.”
“I didn’t feel any magical power in your actions. And no divine power. Neither magic nor divine power.”
…So what the hell do you guys want to talk about?
“What do you want to say?”
“We have already figured out that you are a scarecrow. What we are interested in is the person behind you.”
“Elaborate technology that can fool so many people to make it look like ‘it’s not magic or divine power, but one person is in such a terrible state’, the only place to get such a thing is Metaverse City. And the person on that side Trying to take control of Landfill through a plausible fake like you means there’s something worthwhile here.”
“If you steal and get your hands on something like that, leaving this damn city is no dream…”
“…Under.”
I was wondering what the hell did you believe in and mess around like that, that’s right.
Well, when people are naturally faced with something that is difficult for them to understand, they tend not to understand it, but to bring it down to their own level. In particular, the more stupid people who believe that they are smart, who know only a small part of knowledge, not wholly know it, the worse it is.
It’s not particularly specialized in combat, and it doesn’t feel like magic or divine power, but it turns a person into porridge in an instant. Then, of course, you would think that it was a highly developed science and technology that is no different from magic and that you can use it without any special talent as long as you know how to use it.
Actually, it’s not magic or divine power, but they probably thought it was more reasonable than thinking that there was some special power that they didn’t know about that could make a person like that.
“In the end, those who believe will believe, and those who will not believe will not believe, no matter what they do. No matter how strong you guys are, it doesn’t matter. If you’re going to stab me anyway…”
I’m sorry.
Poo-wook.
“…Uh?”
Before I could finish my words, the five idiots, each with a knife and club in their hands, who were trying to stab, slash, and knock me down, looked down in disbelief at the gaping hole in their stomachs in an instant.
“What, what is this…!”
“Nonsense..! I didn’t use magic or divine power…! I didn’t even take out a weapon, how the hell…!”
“Do I really need to tell you? You won’t believe me if I tell you anyway.”
Whoop, whoop, whoop!
With an eerie sound in succession, stupid people with mediocre skills spurt blood and fall apart. It’s still hidden, but…
“There is no need to kill guys like you with my own hands.
As if responding to my words, dozens of pairs of hungry eyes flashed ferociously in the darkness of the back alley. It was like a swarm of hungry rats gulping their mouths at predators that they normally wouldn’t even dare to aim at, but now, dying, they considered them prey rather than enemies. The faces of the five people, who couldn’t even control their bodies properly because of the holes in their bodies, were distorted with fear.
“A night in Landfill, a back alley without a single light is a place where there is nothing strange about how or when someone dies. “You don’t have to tell me, right?”
“Hey, wait…! I’m begging you! Sa, save me!”
“Well, I’ll do anything!
“Yes, good job.”
I passed them, ignoring the begging of the idiots begging for the life of the target they were about to attack, and I made my way home, leaving behind the screams of the wounded as they receded and the vicious shouts of the starving weaklings who only saw their chance.
There was a courier in front of the house.
“What else is this?”
There was no name of the sender, and the delivery area was Metaverse City, a huge delivery box the size of a man.
