Somebody Stop the Pope – 213



Episode 213

69. The famous feast

1.

Most of the countries that participated in this ‘1st Awakened International Exchange’ are countries that everyone is familiar with.

Representative examples include major advanced countries such as the United States and Japan and even China which sent personnel to this exchange.

Of course from the Chinese government.

There’s no way the rebels would send troops to an event like this.

Did China want to show that they are still going strong?

Still it didn’t attract as many strong players as the Awakened Forum held in LA.

That doesn’t mean they are ignoring South Korea; it just means the situation is not good.

A situation where villains who have established bases in Third World countries are constantly posing a threat.

It is said that there will be in-depth discussions on the issue at the ministerial meeting held during this exchange.

“But the atmosphere isn’t very good. Isn’t it normal for promising players from each country to interact with each other and expand their network at events like this?”

This is the banquet hall of a hotel located in Seoul.

I took a quick sip of the champagne the waiter had brought me and looked around.

The atmosphere did not seem conducive to discussing the future.

It wasn’t all that bad but it looked like a war of nerves was going on.

“Isn’t this the age when everyone is brimming with competitive spirit? The age limit is set at 19 but your body will be in a state of trembling. It was the same when I was that age.”

CEO Choi who was sipping whiskey next to me said with a smile.

CEO Choi has been increasingly becoming like Aiden since receiving intensive training from him.

The Goblin Guild led by CEO Choi was also the guild that contributed the most to this northern advance operation.

“I noticed that you have a lot of scars since I last saw you.”

CEO Choi already boasted of having enormous muscles but recently they have become even more enormous.

Scars engraved all over the muscles.

CEO Choi who had briefly checked his own scars said with a sly smile.

“Isn’t that a proud mark? It has been said since ancient times that a warrior’s honor is proportional to the scars on his body.”

“Do you keep in touch with Aiden often?”

“We’ve been in touch occasionally. I heard you’re busy smashing terrorist heads. We’re planning to meet up for a drink sometime soon. Would you like to join us?”

“I refuse.”

If you drink with Aiden and CEO Choi there will be an accident.

I can’t guarantee it.

I took another sip of champagne and asked another question.

“But CEO Choi.”

“Yes Pope Kim.”

“When Mr. Choi was the same age as those guys the world wasn’t like this right? And Mr. Choi’s family….”

Then CEO Choi followed me and took a sip of his drink. Then he laughed heartily and answered.

“Hahaha! I was originally a child born at home. I was a very passionate youth.”

“If it were hotter than it is now it would be a crime.”

“I didn’t commit a crime. Don’t worry.”

He is a passionate man from a wealthy family…

This old man also has a very unique character.

After that the two of us were having a long conversation.

“Master.”

Grace dressed in a red dress approached our table.

“You look pretty today.”

Grace is really pretty even though she usually wears casual clothes or armor.

Even our Cheonma (Jin) Ja-Hyeon has been working hard on Grace recently.

Of course Grace herself doesn’t seem particularly interested.

Rather it seems like Grace has been picking on our Inwook lately so I’m keeping an eye on her.

Grace smiled at my words.

“Let me introduce you. I am the representative of the promising young people dispatched from the Vatican this time. I am Michael. This is Pope Kim Si-woo.”

Next to Grace stood a man with a very stiff expression who bowed at a 90-degree angle toward me and greeted me.

“Michael of the Exorcist Society sends greetings to the Pope of the East.”

“If you feel uncomfortable you can call me Kim Si-woo Awakened One without the title of Pope.”

“No! Our Holy Father has told Pope Kim Si-woo to be addressed by the title of Pope.”

“We have a good relationship with the Vatican. Please take care of us Michael.”

If there is a relationship where money is exchanged and communication continues then it can be said to be a good relationship.

I smiled and offered my hand to Michael and he awkwardly smiled as he took my hand.

“Your divine power is quite pure. It is good to see that you have strong faith.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

The divine power of Michael felt through the holding hands was very pure.

Even compared to Pastor Seo who I had helped in the refugee camp in Daejeon before he had an advantage.

The potential for divine power is similar to Grace.

That means this man’s faith is deep.

“I hope that during this international exchange period you will achieve results at our church’s training center.”

“I will do my best!”

Catholicism is truly one of the largest religions on Earth.

It definitely has potential.

According to information from the US there are also awakened people called prophets on the Islamic side and it seems that divine power blossoms where there is faith.

“Master there are some distinguished guests who have a good connection with Catholicism. May I come and greet them?”

I answered Grace’s words waving my right hand.

“Do whatever you want do whatever you want. When have you ever seen me being picky? Just drink moderately and don’t cause trouble.”

“Master.”

“huh?”

“You know that Master is the person to watch out for the most right?”

“Use it.”

“I’ll be back!”

Grace quickly disappears from sight carrying Michael.

I sighed deeply as I looked at Grace’s back and CEO Choi who had been quietly listening to our conversation spoke.

“Your disciple seems very smart. He clearly recognizes what the problem is.”

“CEO Choi I’m also the problem…”

“I’m not the type of person to lie hahaha!”

Everyone keeps treating me like a problem child but should I just show them what a real problem child is?

Should I just go out?

How much time passed while we were talking about this and that?

While I was talking with CEO Choi I suddenly felt something.

And as soon as I felt it I put the glass down on the table.

“CEO Choi would you like to go out and get some fresh air?”

Then CEO Choi also nodded as if he had been waiting.

“These are also hot-blooded youths. They’re already having a blast.”

“I can’t stand watching fights.”

“Okay. Go ahead.”

They said there would be nothing to eat at the famous feast but that was all a lie.

What kind of big-ass guys are going to be fighting from day one?

I’m already looking forward to it.

2.

A construction site about 1km away from the banquet hall.

I sighed as I looked at the two boys facing each other from afar.

“…I didn’t know that big guy was my kid.”

One of the two boys had a face I recognized.

That’s a face I know very well.

“Brother please be quiet. If you keep doing this you’ll get caught.”

Ja-hyeon who had arrived before us and was watching the situation glanced at me and said.

The only task I gave to Ja-Hyeon today is this.

Watching Seungwoo.

I asked because it seemed like there was nothing special to do on the irregular topic but the fact that such a person as Ja-Hyeon is here means one thing.

“Why is Seungwoo there? Jahyun should I really prepare the ancestral rites table today?”

“I told you not to but Seungwoo asked me to keep it a secret from you.”

“Seungwoo?”

“Yes. Have you ever seen me lie to you brother?”

“…hmm.”

“No really why don’t you believe me?”

You have to do something trustworthy to be believed.

I slapped Ja-hyeon on the back with a displeased expression then turned my gaze back to where Seung-woo was standing.

Oriental.

The five-star red flag tattooed on his shoulder signifies that the boy is an Awakened person belonging to China.

What on earth could have caused the gentle Seungwoo to come out and fight?

…Did you ever curse at your parents?

“I heard that you are a promising youngster of the Limen Sect raised by Kim Si-woo. Today I will show you how much of a difference there is between the peninsula and the continent.”

A boy speaking Chinese.

Unless Seungwoo is a language genius there’s no way he would understand Chinese.

“You are a piece of shit. His Holiness the Pope is not someone whose name you dare call.”

Seungwoo understood it as if it was a given.

In a way that’s natural.

This is because Seungwoo is also equipped with the blessing of language.

But since he is the first prophet of our church something like that shouldn’t be difficult.

“Still I commend you for having the courage to follow me.”

The Chinese boy was in a state of full strength.

Arrogance filled his face.

Among the promising players dispatched by China this time there is someone who is called the next generation’s best. I think it’s that guy.

The magical power that has taken hold of this guy’s body is unusual.

A-class hunters are at the level of lightly slapping each other in the face.

He looks to be at most 18 years old but honestly it’s really disgusting for a high school student to provoke an elementary school student like that.

“As expected from China.”

“As expected they are Chinese.”

Ja-hyeon and I nodded at the same time.

It’s China after all.

You never disappoint me right?

“Brother should I go and mediate right now? That Chinese guy is quite the hitter.”

Ja-Hyeon said as if she was about to run out at any moment.

But I immediately shook my head.

“Let’s just watch. They’re watching too.”

“What about a plan to strike the origin in advance? The original source of the provocation should be scorched to the ground…”

Ja-Hyeon raised the corners of her mouth as she looked at one side of the construction site.

“My body is sore. China is in the middle of a civil war so how could they afford to send someone like that?”

“For now let’s focus on the kids’ fight.”

“Yes brother.”

There was one other guy watching besides us.

It looks like it’s 100% irregular since I can’t feel any magic at all.

As soon as this fight is over I should call Sun-li and ask her about it. There was no news of Irregulars coming from China.

Back to the fight the two boys continued their argument.

“My teacher is the best in the world. If he had been interested in the world the Republic of Korea and Kim Si-woo would never have been established in the first place.”

The Chinese boy said so and drew his sword from its scabbard.

A real sword not a training sword.

The tip of the guy’s sword glowed sharply.

But Seungwoo didn’t give in to that.

Giggling.

Seungwoo wearing a gauntlet that looks similar to mine.

It might seem unnatural for a child who hasn’t fully grown yet to wear gauntlets but surprisingly it suited Seungwoo well.

“You’re a loser today.”

Another side of Seungwoo who never swears at all.

It was a very refreshing sight for me.

It didn’t take long for the full-scale confrontation to begin.

Taaaaah.

Seungwoo was the first to attack.

Seungwoo ran forward with an ignorant honesty.

The use of divine power was quite natural and the process of exploding the power instantaneously was smooth.

This was the part where it really showed how much Leo had cared.

“How stupid!”

Wheeeeeeeeeeing!

The opponent quickly swung his sword creating a gust of wind.

The wind had a cutting edge that was sharp enough to cut through concrete.

The appearance of trying to fight while keeping some distance.

To me it seemed like he was trying to fight cleverly while controlling the distance.

However the fighting style of the Limen Sect is far from the word ‘clever’.

The fighters of our church usually come to one conclusion in such cases.

An honest frontal breakthrough.

Using a body greatly strengthened by divine power he stabs the opponent head-on in an unbelievable way.

“crazy….”

Common sense tells us to refrain from making unreasonable breakthroughs but it is unreasonable to apply common sense to our church in the first place.

Kwaaaaaaaang-.

Seungwoo went straight into the wind and immediately punched his opponent in the stomach.

Then the Chinese boy’s body floated up and flew backwards.

But it didn’t end there.

Kuuuung.

Seungwoo slammed his opponent’s body which was being thrown out of the construction site onto the ground.

“Still Seungwoo is considerate of others. He shouldn’t fall off the construction site…”

Ja-hyeon who was watching the scene muttered but it seemed like there was a misunderstanding.

“What are you talking about? Where is any consideration or anything when fighting? Look carefully.”

Seungwoo went straight into pounding.

Seungwoo climbs on top of a Chinese boy who seems to be half out of his mind.

I looked at the sight with satisfaction and smiled.

“Archbishop Leo and Lapart have raised Seungwoo well. Now he won’t go anywhere and get beaten up.”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

Kwaaaaaaaah!

Our Pope please stop this
