City of Backstreet Nymphs

190 – Welcoming Autumn with Nymphs # 2

190 – Welcoming Autumn with Nymphs # 2

Bung bung-.

The sound of bees flying around the room was loud.

“You guys stay calm!”

Tang So-hae caught a large flying pumpkin bee and held it in his arms.

Pumpkin bees were warm and fluffy, giving me peace of mind.

“… Nervous….”

It was a tense moment.

This was because it was the first S-rank video conference of Tang So-hae, who was promoted to S-rank 31st.

3, 2, 1-.

I thought a signal rang and then a light came on on the monitor screen.

Soon, S rankers from each country appeared on the camera screen.

Of course, not everyone attended and some were absent, but for Tang Sohae, all of this was an amazing, awkward, and unfamiliar experience.

“Hey, even though it was a temporary meeting this year, you participated more than expected? I think there’s a face I haven’t seen before? “How long have you been new?”

Said the man in the gray fedora, who was holding a thick cigar in his mouth.

Tang So-hae realized that he was “Smoker – Roberto,” A German awakener ranked 10th in S ranking.

‘A powerful ranker that deals with special abilities through ‘acting’? Is the person wearing an eyepatch next to him Weber, a German ranker? If you concentrate, you can hear all the sounds in the city….’

All of the S Rankers were people with a reputation for being monsters.

Dang So Hae was a little intimidated, but he quickly came to his senses.

“I must become China’s new S-class awakened party… ! Although I can now say that I am a rookie ranked 31st in the S class… , Everyone wait and see! I will catch up with everyone and climb to the top! My bees are strong… !”

It was a very great ambition.

As expected, he was a rookie who became an S ranker under the name “Bee’s Tang Sohae”.

“It’s a masterpiece?”

“You fight with bees? “How on earth do those cute little bees fight?”

“I don’t know either. I’m not saying this, but all S rankers are weird people! “Khaat!”

The S-rank awakened people laughed at the monitor screen and some even clapped.

“Let’s stop chatting and get to the point.”

Egypt’s S ranker, Teto, ranked 4th, opened his mouth.

She was a strong person who wielded the artifact “Pawn Shinbyeong”, Which was called God’s card.

The atmosphere of the people became quiet at her story, and soon Achilles, the strongest man in Greece, who chaired this meeting, spoke to her.

“You probably know that powerful beings such as Typhon and Apophis have been appearing one after another recently. “As you can see from the ‘space-time typhoon’ in the Pacific, the power of the cracks is becoming bigger and more dangerous.”

The world was changing.

This winter is likely to be colder and harsher than ever before due to abnormal temperatures.

“I, Teto, recently received an oracle. Within the next 10 years, a rift so powerful that we have never experienced before could become a disaster and arrive on this Earth. All of this is foreshadowing.”

Priest Teto.

She was able to foresee and foresee various problems through her mysterious inspiration.

It was thanks to the national treasure-level artifact “Pharaoh’s Staff” That she held in her hand.

Her precognitive ability was also the reason why she remained at a high rank of 4th place in her S rank, even though the firepower of her direct combat ability was evaluated to be somewhat inferior to that of other offensive S rankers.

Because the contribution to world peace was high.

“We need to become more powerful to solve the problems that will come in the future. However, the ways in which S-rankers like us can increase our strength are honestly limited.”

S rank.

They were already geniuses who could easily be called the pinnacle of their respective fields.

The highest peak with nowhere else to climb.

That’s why it’s okay to say that they are the best and stagnant at the same time.

“What further amplifies the magical power of an awakened person is a crisis so big that it shakes a person’s imagination, and an urgent situation that requires one to risk one’s life…” , But we don’t have enough to do that.”

Life was easy for S rankers.

Whatever you wanted, you were bound to get it.

“Lion King – Thing,” A powerful Indian warrior with a mane like a lion, frowned.

“Of course. Even if it’s a scary T-class crack, for us it’s just a trivial homework like always, right? “These days, even breaking through a T-class crack makes you yawn.”

“Tsk.”

Someone clicked their tongue at Lion King Thing’s aggressive yet confident attitude.

He was America’s S Ranker, 8th place “Wanderer – Bron Bright”.

“You bastard, you’re bragging when you’ve fallen to 20th place because you got picked by the Fire Witch.”

“What are you doing, you idiot? If I fight directly, I’ll win everything, right? It fell because the ranking was calculated based on the number of times T-class cracks were conquered and various points earned. “I’m not saying I’m weak, you idiot!”

The fighting spirit was so intense that it could be seen even through the monitor.

Just then Teto spoke.

“That’s it. The only thing that can make S rankers’ fighting spirit boil are other S rankers. However, until now, our direct disputes have been prohibited by treaties between countries and organizations.”

Private duels and disputes between awakened people were generally prohibited.

If S-rankers fight among themselves and get seriously injured, and in the worst case scenario, one of them dies, there will be a vacuum in the peace of the world.

“But, Teto, I propose here. A more certain and direct ranking calculation method and the beginning. “It is the so-called ‘competition for ranking.'”

So to speak, it was the introduction of “Ranked games.”

Soon, India’s ranker Sing smiled, showing his fangs.

“Okay! Now we can have a clear ranking! Honestly, I’ve been frustrated so far! “My ranking is lower than those who are weaker than me.”

The ranking of the awakened people meant strength, but on the other hand, it did not indicate exact strength.

It was a rough ranking based on formal contribution and reputation.

That was the reason why Achilles, who was said to be the strongest, stayed in 5th place.

An opportunity has come to properly calculate such rankings.

Tang Xiaohai thought that this was an opportunity for her and was happy in her heart.

‘Does this mean that if I fight and win against someone with a higher rank than me, I can take that person’s ranking away? I am S rank 31st! There’s no need to fall, all that’s left to do is to go up!’

Zek-.

At that time, German S ranker Weber, who was wearing a sleeping eye patch, took off his eye patch.

There were serious horizontal lines on his face and eyelids.

“You can increase your ranking─. I think that alone would be a bit lacking in reward and motivation. “Is there another reason why we should improve our ranking?”

“Yes. We plan to impose a penalty on the bottom 30% of the 31 S rankers. Having a low ranking in itself may be a penalty, but-.”

Everyone snorted and laughed at the word penalty.

Since all S rankers were confident, he thought that if his skills were truly measured, he would not be ranked in the bottom 30 percent, so his reaction was sour.

Zek-.

At that time, one of the screens that had been turned off came on.

The chaotic atmosphere changed in an instant and everyone’s attention was focused on it.

“This is the most unexpected person, right?”

Bron, who had been sitting awkwardly with his legs on his desk, adjusted his posture and sat down with an excited look on his face. German smoker Roberto was so surprised that he dropped the cigar he was holding in his mouth.

“Saint Michaela. “Is this real? I can’t believe you showed up at a special meeting like this.”

He was a man who rarely appeared in public.

The pinnacle of the current era, known as the first S Ranker.

S rank 1st place. Saint Michaela.

He hid his face under a white robe and spoke in a calm voice.

“I will hand over the right to use and possess my sacred relic, the Holy Grail, to anyone who challenges me and succeeds in taking away my ranking. “Please give me back praise—.”

# # #

“Wow, if you achieve S Rank 1st place, you can get the “Holy Grail.” “Is this really true?”

I was moved by watching internet news.

Just playing a ranked game among S rankers made my heart pound, but the reward for achieving first place was beyond my imagination.

Oinoi asked.

“This Oinoi does not know what this “Holy Grail” Is… ! I don’t know what’s causing such a fuss… !”

“Um….”

Oi Noi was a knowledgeable nymph who knew a lot about this and that, but she didn’t know anything she didn’t know.

Since the “Holy Grail” Is something that is far from Greek and Roman mythology, it may be natural not to know about it.

I decided to explain briefly.

“It’s a very powerful relic. It is a castle relic that Michaela, who is said to be the first S Ranker, got her hands on. According to the rumor, it is because of this artifact that Michaela was able to reach her S rank.”

I don’t know what kind of power it has, but according to the rumors going around, it must have very powerful effects.

Having handled the divine card “Ponshinbyeong”, Which was an Egyptian relic-level artifact, I knew very well how great power this artifact possessed, and so I also coveted the “Holy Grail.”

“I’m jealous.”

S rank.

It was completely a league of their own.

It was very disappointing that I had no choice but to watch their ranked game as a spectator rather than a participant.

Is it okay for it to stay like this?

━Kkeongkeong… !

━Zuji… !

━Hiooong… !

Is it okay to enjoy everyday life like this, stroking Kkungkkung’s soft and warm back, wearing soft clothes that Angang has washed, or listening to Kkungkkung’s song as comfortable background music?

Is it okay to get a massage while getting hit by a Kalinoi’s wings?

If I honestly think about it, my days have become so cozy and comfortable.

It was okay to just be satisfied with what was given to me and live my life!

“No, you can’t do that! “I can’t stay like this either!”

I meditated.

It was to obtain the training completion reward for “The Hero’s Path” And update the list.

Self-.

I felt the magic power inside my body fluctuating.

Has endurance increased by 1 NP?

『Training List – Obtain expected rewards upon completion of all』

『Reward – Hyper Evolution Duration + 60 seconds』

When I opened the book, the training rewards and lists had been updated.

The reward for this training is that the duration of hyper evolution increases by 60 seconds! Now that my average maintenance time is about 5 minutes, that time has increased by a whopping 20%!

Real training and rewards are customized!

So what is the content of this training?

『Kissing Kore’s cheek 0/1 time』

『Getting a kiss on the cheek from Kore 0/1 time』

“… ….”

No, is this a true story?

From noble mtl dot com

Why are all my training lists like this?

Wouldn’t things like “Hit the log scarecrow 1,000 times with your fist” Or “Establish a regime of gratitude 10,000 times” Be more like training and cool?

“… ….”

Anyway.

This time, it was a strange training content.

I thought about kissing and being kissed by her younger sister, Ha Yi-rae, but she was so scared that just thinking about it made her feel like she was going to get a cramp in her head.

Kiss your grown sister on the cheek.

Why do I do that?

“This is serious. When I think about it again, it’s really difficult training. By what principle is the content determined? “It’s very vicious.”

Ding dong-.

Then a text message arrived.

It was a message from my mother.

“Here is the address of the Virgin Bodhisattva you asked about. But why? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to see if you and your girlfriend are compatible?”

I once received the address of a person who made an effective amulet.

And the moment I saw that address, a slightly old memory came to mind.

“This is…” “I think it was Ari’s house.”
