Chapter 24
[Title]: So, which magic school is more cost-effective?
Number of Participants: [4263]
Current Status:
- Ice Magic School [56%]
VS - Fire Magic School [44%]
—So, you’re telling me my vote is worth the same as those who voted for the Ice Magic School?
┗ LOLOLOLLL!!
┗ Do you really not know something this simple?
┗ Don’t you understand that ice melts against fire?
┗ Have the people voting for Ice Magic School not even seen One Piece?
┗ Do you not know the result of Aokiji vs. Akainu? lol
┗ Aokiji lost his leg, you know, ah lol
┗ That’s magma!!!
┗ And magma is hot haha
—What’s up with the people voting for Fire Magic School?
┗ Seriously, why are we even debating this when we have real examples?
┗ Why are you bringing up other universes? lolol
┗ Okay, then give us a real-life example yourself ;;
┗ Are you seriously unaware of Elsa, the famous but not-so-noble guardian of Gangwon Province?
┗ You don’t know about the protector of Gangwon-do? lol
┗ Elsa defeated an A-rank monster using Fire Magic School spells lol
—That’s just gear advantage, though.
┗ Yeah, and the gear was provided by the Admin lol
┗ The fact is, ice beats fire.
┗ [Elsa]: Fire Magic School wets the bed every night. They don’t understand anything (those idiots playing with sparklers hahaha).
┗ LMAOO
—These idiots—both are meaningful Awakenings used by incredible Hunters to fend off monsters.
┗ Seriously, why are they drawing lines over this?
┗ There’s no such thing as a cost-effective Awakening; it depends on the situation.
┗ They just don’t get it because it’s not their own Awakening ability.
┗ That’s not true; I think all Awakenings are useful.
┗ Shut up and sit down.
The guild master of Hansarang Mountaineering Club, Pokkulom (an expatriate), sat in an open field with a sigh.
“Huyit! Hoo-ah!” The shouts of guild members echoed from all directions as they trained their bodies today as well.
Every guild uses the gallery, even the Villain Alliance.
But Hansarang Mountaineering Club hardly ever did. The reasons were obvious and numerous.
“Guild Master! What are you doing hanging out with those young kids?!!”
“You said youth begins at sixty, didn’t you?”
When Pokkulom replied like that,
“If I talk to those youngsters, I’ll get so frustrated I can’t do this anymore!!”
That’s what they’d say. In other cases?
“My… My eyes are too dim. I can’t see the letters well, you know…”
“You can just increase the font size in the settings….”
“That’s too hard for me… Could you do it? For all the guild members too….”
“….”
These were the kinds of responses Pokkulom often got.
It’s been over 10 years since the gallery appeared, but why does no one here want to use it…
Whenever I try to recruit new guild members, they just call me an old fogey and leave… But I’m a real youth, you know…
Recruiting guild members is becoming harder and harder…
Pokkulom had been drawn to the rugged “manly vibes” of guild members who rejected magic and focused on extreme martial arts. That’s why he became guild master, but it wasn’t easy.
Without exposure to new information, the guild was becoming more and more isolated.
No, it had already turned into a group of old fogeys exuding pure manual labor vibes. Pokkulom didn’t want that.
But the new Admin of the gallery had provided the perfect reason!
Everyone has things they can’t resist. Don’t young people always say, “This is impossible to ignore!”
“Voting? Are you telling me there’s a place where people still vote?”
[Title]: Mr. Lee! Didn’t you hear what the Guild Master said? He said there’s voting in the gallery!
“Hey! Professor Kim! I just took a quick look, and the gallery is split in two—arguing whether ‘red’ magic is better or ‘blue’ magic!”
“Mr. Lee! That’s not just colors; it’s called Ice Magic School and Fire Magic School.”
“Ah! Guild Master Pokkulom! Whatever it is, isn’t the color what matters? The color!”
“Right! You’re absolutely correct!”
“So, which color do you prefer?”
“?!”
Indeed, for the guild members, voting and debating colors were the quintessential “I can’t let this go” topics.
Why had their leader, the Guild Master of Hansarang Mountaineering Club, failed to grasp these simple desires? He felt embarrassed.
But at the same time, he felt fear.
The Muggle Gathering had already been destroyed after trying to uncover the Admin’s true identity.
Surely, the Admin already held detailed information about every guild.
And yet, they had implemented a patch catering to the needs of Hansarang Mountaineering Club members. Could it mean…?
“Could it be! This is an unspoken message, asking us to ally with them!!”
Admin… I admire you for understanding the desires of my guild members. To think you could encourage gallery participation so easily.
Moreover, the Admin possesses unprecedented abilities unseen before.
Although their identity remains unknown, allying with them could bring nothing but benefits—never losses.
This might even serve as a crucial turning point to bolster the declining combat power of Hansarang Mountaineering Club.
It was also the perfect move to keep their official rivals, Handful Squad, in check.
Perhaps the Admin was testing whether Hansarang Mountaineering Club had the value to be considered an ally.
“If they know the needs of our guild members, then they must also know that our guild members struggle with using the gallery.”
Alright, Admin! I’ll pass your test! I’ll extend my hand to you before Handful Squad does!
Pokkulom stood up abruptly. He approached his guild members with determination.
“Guild Master Pokkulom! Hansarang Mountaineering Club is ready to fully utilize the gallery!”
“Great! Set the gallery font size to 500%!”
***
What was that? Did I just see someone typing in “old-timer” speech?
The comments were also flooded with replies.
The post disappeared so quickly due to the intensity of the “Gold Cup” activity that I couldn’t find it again.
The unfamiliar speech style was jarring to see out of nowhere. It must have been just another common roleplay enthusiast, right?
[Title]: [Demon King123] Hear me, you despicable creatures!!!
Jjajangmyeon vs. Jjamppong. You fools are splitting into factions over something so trivial.
Humans, you truly cannot unite under any circumstances!!
But… is it really that delicious??? I must try it for myself one day….
In any case, humans need a strong leader like me!!
With me as your ruler, you wouldn’t need such cumbersome processes as voting!
Bow before the Demon King!!
— “Hahaha! Demon King! You’ve graced us with your presence again today!!”
┗ [Demon King123] Very well! I grant you permission to reveal your name!
┗ Haha! It’s me, one of the Four Heavenly Kings—Rhinoceros Beetle!
┗ I’m the one who says things out of place and gets smacked next to the Demon King!
┗ What is this guy doing? lolol
┗ How can one of the Four Heavenly Kings be named Rhinoceros Beetle? hahahahha
┗ LMAOO!!
┗ [Demon King123] I have no recollection of appointing such a Heavenly King….
┗ [Demon King123] I only remember treating my Four Heavenly Kings well….
┗ My bruises still ache, but regardless! Demon King! Have you had your meal today??
┗ [Demon King123] It’s humiliating, but I’ve gone hungry again today….
┗ What!! You must eat well to conquer humanity!
—You’re so poor you can’t even afford Jjajangmyeon?
┗ I saw in a previous post that they’ve been starving for days.
┗ The Demon King hasn’t eaten for a week now.
—Demon King, which do you prefer: Jjajangmyeon or Jjamppong?
┗ Obviously Jjajangmyeon.
┗ Clearly Jjamppong.
┗ [Demon King123] To be honest… I want to eat both.
┗ That hungry, huh?
┗ Go buy some Jjajangmyeon.
┗ [Demon King123] If I had money, I would’ve ordered extra-large portions….
┗ [Demon King123] Humans…! I will avenge this humiliation!!!
┗ Based on how you talk, it seems like you won’t even pay back borrowed money. lol
┗ LMAOOO
“Yeah, with concepts like this, an old-timer speech style doesn’t seem so strange.”
I resumed my search for entertaining Gold Cup posts like a dog sniffing for treats.
Then I stumbled upon a hot trending post.
It was Elsa’s Gold Cup.
“Wait, why did this post get so many votes? Over ten thousand people participated!”
[Title]: [Elsa] Fundamental Magic School Voting (Chilly)
Total Voters [10463]
Current Status
- Water Magic School [58%]
VS
- Ice Magic School [42%]
“Everyone who voted for the Water Magic School deserves to die.” (Coldly)
—What? Ice can’t exist without water, Elsa. lmao
┗ “Does she think she can dominate water just because she’s called the Guardian of Gangwon Province?”
┗ [Elsa] “A queen doesn’t need water to build her Ice Palace.” (She can just freeze water, right?)
┗ “Try digging deeper into how Ice Magic works!”
┗ “Ice Magic reacts with the moisture present in the air using mana to rapidly lower the temperature, right?”
┗ “This is getting long; let’s skip the details.”
┗ “Why hasn’t the Admin locked Elsa in the admin chat yet? hahaha”
┗ “Maybe the Admin failed to imprison her too lol”
—A queen?? Are you saying Elsa is a queen!!!!
┗ “Oh, brother! I’m telling you the queen got locked up!”
┗ [Elsa] “Stop it.” (I was about to say ‘Let it Go,’ but who are these people?)
┗ “Release the queen!!!”
┗ “???”
┗ “Wait a minute. I officially have no knowledge of this statement.”
┗ “I do not endorse this comment.”
—Hey! Did you guys hold such a fun vote without us!!!
┗ “Why is this only a blue vs. blue vote?!”
┗ “I’m voting red!!!”
┗ “Ah, geez, I hate that speech style.;;”
—WHAT!!!!! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME!!!!
┗ “Oh!! Professor Park has arrived!!”
┗ “Mr. Choi!!! When are we grabbing some makgeolli together?!!!”
┗ “Wait, is this Hansarang Mountaineering Club…?”
┗ “Why are these old-timers suddenly gallerying?”
┗ “Geez, these geezers stink.”
—The one who’s always stiff and hard supposedly changed, right?!
┗ “Stiff and hard?”
┗ “Are you talking about the Admin?”
┗ “What era are you from?”
┗ “Maybe they just wish their stuff was like that?”
┗ “I’m still as stiff as an iron rod!!”
┗ “Don’t lie.;;”
What the… I wasn’t mistaken. Now that I think about it, the number of gallery users has exploded all of a sudden.
Could it really be Hansarang Mountaineering Club? Why did they suddenly appear?
[Title]: Ugh, these Old-timers lolol
I know an uncle who’s part of Hansarang Mountaineering Club.
Apparently, they decided to actively use the gallery because of the voting feature lol
— What the heck loll
┗ “Do they really like voting that much? lol”
┗ “Just old men who want to vote. hahahaa”
┗ “Kids these days don’t even vote!!!”
┗ “Geez;; That’s before the Gates appeared, isn’t it…?”
—I really want to gather them all and give them some MZ education haha
┗ “I know MZ too!!!”
┗ “What is it?”
┗ “Mazinger Z!!! That’s right!!!”
┗ “Bro! You’re absolutely correct!!!”
┗ “Keep it short, please;;”
—Hey, old-timer, do you even know what a Gate is?
┗ “Gay-two? Two gay! That’s English!”
┗ “Gate, Gate.”
┗ “Are you talking about Rifts?”
┗ “Not Rifts, Gates!”
┗ “Rifts!!”
┗ “Gates!”
┗ “Rifts!!”
┗ “Dentures confiscated for three days.”
┗ “You can’t do that….”
┗ “LMAOOOO”
From its very name, Hansarang Mountaineering Club is a guaranteed laugh generator. A quick search through the gallery shows everything.
It’s clearly a group of macho old-timers who avoid magic and rely heavily on martial arts.
Back in my hero days, there were groups chasing that kind of romantic ideal too. But in the end, magic always outperformed them.
Did they really come to the gallery just because of the voting feature? I can’t figure it out.
While I was stunned, a new post popped up, and I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Ah… This is too much.
