Chapter 80 -

<Slightly different and special people (2)>

A few days after that.

As usual Yekaterina was studying in the library while I was completing the paperwork for both Murim Alliance and Another League.

Currently, my guild was running with a two-member system, but Ye Sa-hye, who became Ha Sunyoung’s disciple, was growing at a terrifying rate and recently she had been generating some profits for the guild. Thanks to that, my work has increased a little. But was there any boss in the world that hated more work for their company?

So while doing paperwork in her library, it was really a coincidence that she saw my paperwork.

“Well, that’s a headache.”

“What?”

“No, it’s nothing. I got a call from the Murim Alliance. There are some people who keep using the name of their martial arts. Whether in the guild or in the country.”

“Aha……..?”

Then, Yekaterina tilted her head for a moment and said.

“Can’t you just designate Mugong as a ‘superpower special intellectual property’?”

“Superpower… what?”

“Long ago, there was a dispute going on because some guild was trying to steal Morian guild’s magic.”

Come to think of it, didn’t she say that the core member of the Morian Guild is made up of ‘witches’? It was a pretty interesting story.

“These days, all things related to superpower or mystical ability are recognized as technology. Why? Because every skill is different from the other. That’s why it is now treated as an identity, in other words, a weapon. So, if you designated it as a ‘superpower special intellectual property’, people can’t openly steal that technology. Well.. There are many ways to work around it, but it would be difficult to touch a martial artist who is recognized as Mystical ability wielder.”

“….really?”

Poof!

All worries that had been bugging me for days were gone in a single moment.

From then on, I continued to ask her many questions, and I realized that Yekaterina was more capable than I thought.

Park Seong-ho and I knew a lot about the guild industry and the Murim Alliance. But in the field of ‘mystical abilities’, Yekaterina was much more knowledgeable then both of us combined.

“You, you really, you….”

“Yes?”

“You are the best……”

“Oh, hmm hmm. I know I’m a little awesome.”

How long have I tried to introduce Mugong, an ability that was difficult to fit in into modern times? As if mocking all my worries, Yekaterina resolved it quickly. In that aspect, she was very knowledgeable, there was practically nothing she didn’t know.

Come to think of it, my guild was going to teach both martial arts and magic.

Currently, I’m teaching Ha Sunyoung my white swordsmanship so she could teach it to other members. And, Ye sa-hye was her first disciple, but isn’t it difficult for me to teach magic?

What if Yekaterina joins Another League?

She could be in charge of the magic department and help both the Murim alliance and Another league in administrative matters, while Ha Sunyoung would be in charge of swordsmanship. Thus, Another league could grow by utilizing individuality from both sides.

More importantly, if Yekaterina joins Another league and takes over the management, I could go to different worlds without worrying about something going wrong since she was far superior compared to me in those fields.

But…….

“It’s a shame that you are already in the Morian guild.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you’re really the right talent for our guild. But honestly, our guild can’t compare to the Morian guild.”

Although mentally she was tied to me, I had no intention to force her. If I do that, it would be the same as retraining her, who had been confined to her museum for her whole life.

So it was quite regrettable.

The Morian Guild is one of the best guilds in the world. Besides, recently, she said they’ve been working on a project together with ‘Lost Day’, so there was no meaning for her to quit a guild of that size and join a new guild with only three guild members-

“Please take me in!”

“….Eh?”

“I can do anything you ask! I’m willing to be a machine that works for you for the rest of my life!”

Yekaterina stood up to me and grabbed my hand. Her white eyes were twinkling as she spoke.

“If you take me out of Morian, I have the confidence to work like a dog for you!”

It was more like a plea rather than an answer.
