Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1)

It was a sign that, in another sense, winds of war were beginning to blow.

During that time, international politics had been on pause, but finally, it was beginning to move again.

***

It had been about ten days since the incident with Kali Yuga, also known as the “Seoul Disaster.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

Even in Miracle Blessing M, the capital was still Seoul. album It was also a hellish megacity with nearly 20 million people crammed into a brutal population density.

Not only the representatives of Seoul districts, but also those of other regions, were desperate.

And that place had been reduced to rubble.

That the capital had been destroyed meant that the function of the State had been paralyzed.

“Damn it, right now of all times!”

“What do we do now?”

“No, seriously, I think they really are going to throw flour at us.”

“Ah, damn it! aspect I don’t even know how we’re supposed to campaign. acoustic I wake up in the middle of the night from anxiety.”

“Don’t you dare! crystal Don’t even think about mentioning that!”

“Your situations are better than mine… My district was practically wiped out.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

“R-right, right…”

“Damn it! arch Expand Seoul’s land? attic The true citizens who fund our campaigns will crucify us!”

“Really… sometimes I just want to set fire to everything and start over.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

What kind of city was Seoul?

And yet, it couldn’t be expanded because of pressure from the sponsors. portal If the territory expanded, density would drop, and that would reduce demand.

A city that could explode at any moment. avalanche They had crammed too many people into too little space.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, the Minister of Planning and Finance, who had been watching silently, spoke up.

It was a deadlock.

That minister had been key in the ousting of the prime minister a few months earlier.

“Honorable representatives, since we’re like this, why don’t we just move it?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

Even the president was wary of Saki Ryozo. aluminum No, rather, he feared her, even without factoring in the halo of Kang Geom-Ma.

Politicians had their eyes on him. august And his connection with Joaquin was what weighed most heavily.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

They say she defeated the prime minister like a chess piece.

Is she even human?

What kind of person is Saki Ryozo, really?

Even the pretext for organizing it was perfect.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

And just then, the Finance Minister, marked as a spy of Saki Ryozo, said.

Faced with the overwhelming drive of Joaquin Academy, the politicians could do nothing but grit their teeth.

“Move it? abstract Move what?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

“…?”

“Minister! zenith Even if you’re an unofficial minister, we have the rope around our necks for every single vote. acquire And you dare to say something so ridiculous?!”

“Yes. galaxy Isn’t the city where the academy is just as good as Seoul?”

What the hell is this guy saying?

BAM!

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

“Sure, people have talked about moving the capital for a long time. altitude To Wonju, where Joaquin Academy is? abandon Not a bad idea. agent But right now, Heavenly Sword’s public image is in the gutter. atom If we move the capital to his territory, the people…”

“Haa…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

The minister let out a sigh loaded with emotion.

“How is it possible that you, being representatives, understand less of the people’s feelings than I do? riddle No, wait—could it be that because you’re representatives, you no longer understand them?”

“Was that a sigh?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

Without another word, the minister looked toward Parliament’s monitor. zenith The others followed his gaze.

— Did you see that article? agent They say in the Seoul Disaster there were practically no casualties.

As if waiting for it, the giant screen lit up.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

— I was there. matrix I saw a black-haired hero and the Sword Master saving people like crazy. timber I swear I ran faster than sound for the first time in my life.

— Wtf, how can there be ZERO deaths when everything was in chaos?

I know everyone can freely share their opinion on the internet. arch In fact, I think blindly supporting a single person is also dangerous.

I hesitated a lot about whether to post this right after a national tragedy, but since there are still people criticizing Heavenly Sword, I decided it was worth receiving insults to say this.

Sorry about that.

Envy, jealousy, and so on.

I’m not generalizing, this criticism is directed at a specific “privileged group.”

They want Heavenly Sword to be despised. harbor It’s a mix of complex emotions.

It’s human to feel that. afford But I wonder if we should also join in on that.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

That’s why, at least until that moment comes, I, a simple Citizen A who owes him my life, intend to trust and support Heavenly Sword.

I’m not saying I’m right. advance I’m just one among many citizens. antenna Also, I clarify that this post is not meant to convince anyone.

Heavenly Sword. amber The hero Kang Geom-Ma will be criticized no matter what he does. orbit Because little by little, he is moving away from what we can understand.

“As you know, Seoul is currently overcrowded. orbit Even a house like a chicken coop is impossible to acquire even if one works their whole life. wizard And yet, people want to live there. arena Because others also want to live there.”

“Well of course the non-privileged…”

“……”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 416: The World is Crazy About Him (1) by Indra Translations.

It was nonsense.

Is this what it feels like when the hardest enemy becomes your ally? aspect The politicians had always been ingrained with the idea that Heavenly Sword was their enemy.
