Chapter 148: Proof (5)

“Yes.”

Chun Yeowun nodded and Mi Chuk fell silent. He began caressing his own chin for a while, then asked.

“The world changed after the Gate opened. Yulinians, Superhumans… many warriors with powers appeared in the world.”

And thanks to them, the humanity was able to defend themselves against danger of the Gate. Among those warriors, there were few who were so powerful that they fought thousand people worth on their own.

“Gravity Witch… Miss Yu Sohwa the SS Class Gatekeeper is such person. It is hard to believe what you are saying, but if you say that since you scouted her to your fold and consider her as your arsenal…”

“I am no match against my boss.”

Yu Sohwa intervened, cutting Mi Chuk’s words. Jehyun the Mayor became shocked and replied.

“You, a SS Class Gatekeeper is no match? What nonsense are you talking about?!”

There were three SS Class Gatekeepers in the world, and all of them were most strongest of all Gatekeepers. They were superhumans who were believed to defend against C Grade or lower Gate Warning singlehandedly.

“That is nonsense! Only IN Grade or higher Yulinian are believed to fight equally against SS Class Gatekeeper…!”

So Yanghyun spoke. He was also an ordinary man, but he knew how powerful these people are. Currently, IN Grade Yulinians were those who were called the Top Five Strongest Warriors of Yulin. And all of them were over fifties.

‘A man in his early twenty is claiming himself to be IN Grade Yulinian?’

IN Grade Yulinian. This was another ward for Supreme Master stage warrior. If this was true, then it was enough to make entire Yulin world to become shocked.

“I-I can’t belive that!”

“Commander So, I think this matter is far past the stage to talk it over on a desk.”

“Then what?”

So Yanghyun asked to Mi Chuk, which Mi Chuk smiled as he answered.

“There is only one way to find out, isn’t it? Let’s see if our Vice President can prove himself.”

There was a large dome style gym located next to the second city hall building. It was a building maintained by Yulin Department of the Jenam City. Everyone except the Mayor Jehyun who was busy with his work, moved to this building. Chun Yeowun spoke in front of all of them.

“You should keep your words.”

“Mayor also approved. If you prove your power, then we will approve the contract as we promised.”

“Hmph.”

Sadly, their method of proving the power wasn’t what Chun Yeowun had wanted. Jenam City had no chance of accepting a method that would jeopardize their forces when the Gate Warning was so close. Only one who felt sad from it was Chun Yeowun, as he thought it as a good chance to get rid of all military factions within Jenam City.

So Yanghyun spoke as they moved over to the interior of the building.

“This gym is a training ground for all Yulinians who work for our hall, and a testing place for Yulin Registration.”

Yulin Registration was a job for federal government. But not all Yulinians were able to move over to another city where the registration was being accepted, so all city halls were approved of having Yulin Department to register Yulinians.

‘A test…’

Except for cultists of the Great Demonic Cult, or few Yulinians, all Yulinians in this world went through test and registered on the government. And when they are registered, they were given a grade according to their tests.

“This test is usually for Yulin registration, but we will use it this time to see the power of Vice President is fitting to fulfill your promise.”

Chun Yeowun became reminiscent of his old Demonic Academy days. Back then, he went through series of tests and was approved for his powers.

“Welcome, sir.”

As they entered, a well built man in his forties walked over to them and saluted to the Vice Mayor and the Commander.

“Lieutenant Ou. Is it finished?”

“Yes, sir. I have finished the preparation for the test.”

The man pointed at the right side of the gym. There were about eight giant blue stone slate stacked together at about 5 feet high. Each slate seemed to be about 2/3 feet thick.

“Oh, that is…”

Bi Makhun immediately recognized what the stone was. Ou laughed and spoke.

“So, Yulinians recognize it right away, eh? That is blue pearl stone.”

Blue pearl stone was a stone that was so much harder than ordinary rocks, that only ones with powerful internal energy can damage such rocks. Yulinians used the stone to test their powers since the old days. Lieutenant Ou walked over to the stone and spoke.

“There are four tests. Three of parameter tests, and one of sparring test. When it is done, we will be able to measure your grade.”

There were tests ready, as Ou pointed out to each stations. Ou then turned to Bi Makhuna nd spoke.

“Okay. Shall we begin with the first test, then?”

“Oh… It’s not me. It’s our Vice President who is going to take the test.”

“Huh? Weren’t you the Vice President, sir?”

Ou had mistaken Bi Makhun to be the Vice President, as he assumed that it would be the older man who was the Vice President.

“It’s him.”
