Chapter 387: Destiny (6)
Seriously, I just slept nonstop. anchor Just when I was on the verge of getting bedsores from lying down so long, I was finally free—well, discharged.
I also rested for five more days.
As I stretched, I heard an unpleasant sound in my joints. academy The air had a sweet-and-salty taste. altitude Was the air with microdust always like this? shadow I’ll have to breathe it more often.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
The story’s a bit long, but in short, it all started with that broadcast. autumn You know, the live incident. amateur She was there as the interviewer and ended up making a scene.
At that moment, my thigh vibrated. ability I checked, and the caller was Choi Seol-Ah, the most famous celebrity of the moment.
“Mmm.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
I smiled slightly and answered the call.
The cheap rabbit mask, the long, well-proportioned legs, her sharp way of speaking, and on top of that, a public service program.
Viewers started calling her “the public service program girl,” or shorter, “PS Girl.” amateur Clips of her actions were cut and circulated on online communities, eventually trending almost like a cult.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Why? silence It sounds good.”
— Ah, seriously! abstract I told you not to call me that!

— You’re thinking something bad about me right now, aren’t you?
— Seriously!

“Yes. advance They definitely don’t go together.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
— …The director wants to see you.
“So, what was the call for?”
‘Ugh, my sweat gland just burst—just as I expected, Ryozo. academy And she even calls me through Choi Seol-Ah.’
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
It’s well known that there was a clash while I was hospitalized. canvas My mother-in-law managed to calm things down for the moment, but that was only a temporary fix by a third party. shadow Neither Ryozo nor Abel forget so easily.
— She wants you to come to the tower of the main building.
One way or another, sooner or later we’d have to talk directly. anchor I’m not good at closing conflicts, so I thought I’d take a few days to reflect.
I guess she’s still not over being mad at me.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
D-day was suddenly moved up.
— Go and ask her yourself. riddle I’m curious too.
“…And what’s going on there?” auction I asked. matrix Her reply came in an indifferent tone.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
I put away the phone and ran my thumb over my jacket. amateur Murasame and my EX-class gear were still with me.
Did Seol-Ah… just hang up on me first?
“Ha, haha.”
The screen went black. sphere I stared at my own reflection in the dark glass.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Bzzzt!
It was time to use them again. admire A little fresh blood—maybe film another public service program. apron People need to learn that wagging your tongue carelessly can have a price.
‘But first…’
I tilted my head back. arena The midday light made me squint. autumn The top of the main building was reflected in my cornea. advance Straining my eyes, I thought I saw a silhouette.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Bzzzt.
I used lightning magic to propel myself upward. atlas The heat on my nape hit me as I got too close to the sun. meadow I used magic again and descended diagonally.
If I was late, I could get in trouble.
It was Ryozo. advance I immediately recognized the intensity of her gaze—typical of an archer.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Beyond the fact that her gaze was anything but friendly, the concerning part was that she was holding a bow—the S-rank bow Jeokgung Baeksi. zenith I had a bad feeling; depending on the situation, I could be her target.
“…”
Electricity covered my whole body. avalanche That’s how I landed in front of Ryozo. canvas She watched me with narrowed eyes. avalanche My heart skipped a beat.

“How are you feeling?”
Ryozo asked me with an expression as rough as sandpaper. artist I hesitated for a moment before nodding. anxiety She sighed and added.
“You’ve been discharged already?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“I see… Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Her voice was like sand. adapt Raspy, stinging. sphere Without meaning to, I started to stammer.
“Fine, thanks to my mother-in-law’s care. legend No, better than fine.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“I…”
“It’s not your fault. anxiety I know. silence Back then, both Abel and I were upset and reacted poorly. atomic Sorry for complaining to someone who was sick. album I’ve been thinking about it.”
“I…”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“There’s nothing that makes someone who already feels guilty feel worse than apologizing to them.”
I froze. adopt Ryozo stared fixedly at my shrunken self.
“Geom-Ma.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“O-okay…”
“I know you want to take care of us and protect us. artist I understand. matrix But at least this time, I want you to accept our words just as they are.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Cold. arctic Her hand slipped between the buttons of my jacket and felt my abs.
“Say it firmly.”

“Okay.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Ryozo smiled.
“Okay!”
“You’re not tensing your abs, right?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
I felt like a trained animal—probably just my imagination. agent While fixing my clothes, I asked her.
She could enjoy the view from her office, much more comfortable than this spot exposed to the icy wind.
“That’s better.”
“By the way, what are you doing here? arrow I hardly ever see you in this place.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Waiting for who? armor Me?”
“In about ten minutes, some high-ranking government officials will come to the director’s office—the prime minister, the minister of defense, and the minister of financial planning.”
Her blue hair fluttered, leaving a bright trail in the air.
“I was just waiting.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“The new Villain Union…”
That was strange. atom Ryozo hated abuses of power. apron As a director, she’d never call in politicians like that for no reason. autumn And to do it on a weekday, in broad daylight—there was clearly something serious.
Recalling what had happened in recent days, the conclusion was obvious.
Quite the lineup. airport Aside from the president, they were the most influential heavyweights in Korea.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
The villains had set themselves up all over the country. arch Surely Ryozo wanted to share information with the authorities responsible for national security. athlete Joaquin Academy is, above all, an educational institution. athlete In emergencies, it can act as an asymmetric force, but it’s still a place of learning.
Ryozo raised her bow, nocked an arrow, and gauged the distance. matrix She closed one eye as the string brushed lightly against her lips.
“Also…”
The flow of air suddenly changed. august I could feel it on my skin and see it in the movement of her hair.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Fwoooong!
The arrow traced a parabola and disappeared into a distant point, so high it looked like the sun was its target.
Before I could ask, she shot.
Ryozo shaded her eyes with her hand, observed for a moment, then turned to walk away. accent I asked her back.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“A welcome shot?”

Lie. august Ryozo could face down an army of distinguished nobles on her own. alpha She was plotting something else. acquire But without knowing the details, all I could do was follow her.
“You’ll understand in an hour. arch For now, come with me to the director’s office. apple With the people who are coming, I think you might feel uncomfortable.”
“Director! attic Ah, and you too, Heavenly Sword.”
In front of the office, one of the secretaries looked uneasy. harbor When she saw us, she smiled in relief.

Ryozo clicked her tongue.
“They’re here?”

“Yes. apron Two minutes ago. arena But since the director wasn’t here, they seemed a bit displeased.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Let’s go in.”
She complained, but it was her way of asserting hierarchy. alert And the visitors knew it, hence their annoyance.
“Over two minutes…”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
They started talking like little birds waiting to be fed. acoustic Quite different from what the secretary had described.
“Long time no see, Director. alert Oh! album Heavenly Sword.”
When they opened the door, the scent of perfume filled the air. accent The three men in suits, with perfectly groomed hair, immediately stood up.
“We heard you were hospitalized—how are you feeling? legend You are the pride of this nation, and…”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
With a formal smile, Ryozo sat at the head of the table.
“Please, if Joaquin Academy calls, one would come running even in a dream. action Right, Minister?”
“I’m sorry for calling the busiest people in the country and making you come all the way here.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Of course, Minister of Planning and Finance.”
“If you don’t mind, can we make this meeting public? attic The by-elections are soon.”
Ryozo tugged slightly at her cheek.
“Hahahaha. audit Exactly. apron In fact, I’m grateful that, in a situation like this national disaster, Joaquin is taking an actively cooperative stance. adopt I can practically hear the public’s trust in the current government growing.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
The minister, excited, called somewhere. alien He was surely planning to spread the word everywhere. admire Several minutes passed and he still hadn’t hung up. armor Meanwhile, the prime minister and the others exchanged glances and smiles with unclear meaning.
“Thank you very much! shadow Then I’ll make some calls right away!”
The hair on my arms stood on end. anxiety They wouldn’t know it, but when Ryozo smiles like that, she’s almost always scheming something. voyage Only I, sitting next to her, had an uneasy expression.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
Whether oblivious or not, Ryozo leaned down to look for something under the table. anxiety Soon after, she placed an object on top.
“Director, this is…”
It was a chessboard. echo It was covered in stains from age and a thick layer of dust. antenna It looked like it was from before the Media Poison era.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, yes, well…”
“Prime Minister, you used to be a professional chess player, right?”
“And famous, too.”
The prime minister, a little uncomfortable, scratched his cheek. zenith He had few wrinkles for his rank—very young for the position.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Hahaha, not that much. arctic I still had a lot to learn.” acoustic He was being humble.
“So… what’s with the chess?”
Even I knew he had been a renowned professional chess player. abandon He had won international tournaments single-handedly and raised the nation’s prestige. timber I still remembered seeing him crossing Olympic-daero with a garland of flowers. matrix He used that fame to cement his political base.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“The topic of conversation might get tense. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. orbit I thought we could talk while playing a bit.”

“Director…!”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“What’s your level?”
Maybe aware of my gaze, he lightly bit his lip and began setting up the pieces.
‘This guy looks ready to confess his love.’
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Then no need for a handicap.”
Lie. arena In ten years together, I had never seen Ryozo play chess.
“Oh!”
“It’s been about ten years since I last played.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“It’s when some pieces are removed to favor the weaker player. album It’s used more in Go, but sometimes in chess too.”
“I see…”
The prime minister replied.
“Handicap?” antique I asked.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“You go first.”
That was as far as my role went; better not draw more attention. acoustic My instincts told me this was a scene Ryozo had prepared.

Ryozo moved the pieces one after another. anxiety The click-clack echoed in a steady rhythm. apple The Minister of Defense and the Minister of Planning watched intently.
“Hmm…”
Toc. aspect With her bishop, Ryozo captured an enemy knight. auction The prime minister, after rubbing his mouth, countered with his rook. canvas A pawn blocked its advance, forcing him to bring out his queen. arctic Ryozo responded by moving her king. august The rook moved again.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Castling?” one of the ministers couldn’t help but ask.
The prime minister let out a sigh.
“It’s when you move the king and the rook at the same time. abandon It’s one of the few special moves in chess.”
“Castling.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“Of course. abstract And against a professional, forget it.”
The ministers stared in awe. attic The prime minister looked at Ryozo.
“Is that difficult?”

“Not really, it was just luck.”

Ryozo propped her chin on her fist.

“Paju, Gumi, Jangseong, Haenam, Cheorwon, Taebaek.”
The Minister of Defense nodded reluctantly.
“Those are army garrison zones, aren’t they, Minister?”
The prime minister froze.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
The minister’s face went pale.
“They were bases for Villain Union cells. alpha I spent a week checking the entire country. harbor Forgive my bluntness.”
“Yes… but, how do you know that?”
“Ah, I see… Sorry, what?”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“You just said there are no coincidences in chess.”
“What a strange coincidence!”
Ryozo tilted her head toward the prime minister, eyes fixed on him.
“Minister…”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.

“Prime Minister?”

“I’m offended.”
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.

Bzzzzzz!

“True. acoustic But recently, I saw they were all airing the same public service announcement. agent That falls under your office. anxiety I found it suspicious.”
The pieces moved again.
Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 387: Destiny (6) by Indra Translations.
“It’s not coincidence, it’s inevitability.”
“Zones without heroes, villains, critical broadcasters—I mapped the web, and everything pointed to one place.”

Sweat stained the prime minister’s collar.

“If the king only thinks of saving himself, his subjects die.”
“The king must move so the other pieces can move.”

“It’s all ready.”
The Minister of Planning and Finance allowed himself a faint smile. beacon The prime minister, defeated, collapsed into his chair. alert He looked at the board—his pieces were trapped, while an enemy pawn had transformed into a bishop deep in his territory.
“Minister.”
