Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Regardless of whether I’m a famous fortune-teller or have a large presence in the superhuman world, I need one escort.
That’s because… isn’t the world quite dangerous these days?
You never know when or where a dungeon might break out, or a monster might suddenly appear.
Well, it’s something I’ve resolved well by foreseeing with my fortune-telling, but wasn’t there an incident where tentacles suddenly sprouted up in Seoul, the capital, last time?
There were times when cult members ran wild, and when I went to Jeju Island, a cult leader attacked, and when tentacles sprang up, Aria, the Witch of Music, appeared.
That’s how unpredictable the world is, and it’s so vicious that you never know when you might lose your life.
Moreover, I’m just an ordinary person after all, right? So even if it’s bothersome, it’s better to take a reliable escort than to lose my life in vain.
How regrettable would it be to die at this young age? It’s better to take even one person along than to suffer such a fate.
And because of that, I, who was planning to meet my parents tomorrow, was thinking about when to bring it up, and after finishing work and dinner, I spoke up before entering my room.
“Ah, I’m going to meet my parents tomorrow… it would be better if one person accompanies me as an escort, right? So choose one person among yourselves to come down with me tomorrow…”
And that casually uttered statement,
“Parents…”
“Going to meet…”
“Someone to go with…”
“One person…!?!?”
Came back as a bombshell…!!
Of course, the people who heard those words knew it wasn’t about going together as lovers.
But that wasn’t what was important.
If they go along here, they can appeal to Han-ul’s parents…!!
It means they can take an overwhelmingly huge step towards Dam Han-ul compared to others…!!!
Such thoughts whirled like a storm in everyone’s heads, and a truly fierce atmosphere began to surround the living room where Dam Han-ul had disappeared.
A fierce battle of wills between superhumans of at least S-rank began…!!
“Uh, if it’s escorting the executive, I should participate too…”
“You’re out!!”
“Where do you think you’re going to escort with just A+ rank!!”
“Get out!! With your low experience and power, where do you think… Stay put!!”
“Hiiing… I understand…”
“Um… I’ll withdraw on my own too…”
Even A-rank and above high-ranking superhumans weren’t ones to be left out anywhere else, but here, they were helplessly eliminated without even being able to assert themselves.
That’s how terribly fierce the current battle of wills was.
“Ahem! Since we’re going along under the pretext of escort… shouldn’t the strongest person here go?! Then it should be this Yeon Dalgi, a thousand-year-old gumiho…!!”
“Is being thousands of years old something to brag about when you couldn’t even reach EX-rank…?”
“Heh… I think I could rip off all your tails if we go all the way, want to try…??”
“Wh-what did you say?! Is everyone done talking?!”
Although it’s called a battle of wills, they can’t really exert force with Dam Han-ul upstairs…!!
Therefore, words became sharp blades, stabbing and cutting each other as a fierce war of words began to rage…!!
“Nyahaha!! When it comes to escort! Of course, it should be this Heukmyo, who has the deepest connection with Teacher Han-ul and is armed with the sense honed through numerous Robin Hood-like activities…!!”
“Kya! The world has become a good place! A newbie doing escort!! You became S-rank the latest here!!!”
“Didn’t Heukmyo say he first met Han-ul when he came to rob his house…? And now you’re going to meet his parents…??”
“Urgh?! Hey, Ricone!! Shouldn’t you stay out of this!! And we were comrades in the same situation, but you’re backstabbing me like this meow!?”
“Fufu… If I can’t go, no one can!! I’ll hinder with all my might!!”
Ricone, who had purely tried to take on the escort duty as a subordinate but was immediately cut off and cleanly gave up… decided to join in simply because this situation looked purely fun.
“Fufu… Then I, Cheon Ryuhwa, who loves Han-ul oppa the most, should…!”
“Who says you cherish the teacher the most!!!”
“Hey! You, the S-rank who joined the latest, have you gone crazy!!”
“Damn it, if we’re talking about that, you’re the newest recruit!!”
“………”
Cheon Ryuhwa, who had stood up abruptly, sank in an instant.
“Ha…!! Then it’s time for me, Akame of the Demon Sword, who built a connection with Han-ul first among S-ranks and is the most renowned, to step up!!”
“If we’re talking about that, the S-rank who built a connection first is me, Heukmyo, meow!!”
“No, Heukmyo, you became S-rank later…”
“You’re ugly, Heukmyo!! Admit what needs to be admitted!!”
“Kuuuk?!”
“Hey, and the topic got sidetracked for a moment, but I heard the S-rank who built a connection first is that someone, Cheongok Cheongsoh of Korea!! Should we call her!?”
“Come to think of it, isn’t it Hatieri??”
“Anyway!! If we call her, it’ll become more of a mess!! From what I see, she’s the type who wouldn’t hesitate to use force!!”
“Eeek!! But my recognition is still the highest, right!!”
“Honestly, if we’re talking about recognition limited to Korea, I, the newly born 6th S-rank of Korea who swept all the media attention, would be higher!!”
“What did you say?! What nonsensical insistence is this!!”
But it wasn’t a completely unreasonable claim.
Yeon Dalgi’s birth drew tremendous attention and interest, extending to what steps she would take next.
Even the scout representatives of Korea’s top 10 guilds tried to attract attention saying they would definitely recruit her.
The problem was that there wasn’t much to follow up after that, so interest cooled down rapidly…
Anyway, while they were bickering over Akame’s case, another candidate shone brightly and nominated herself.
[Fufu… It seems everyone has some controversy. Then this Arin, who has no controversy and is Dam Han-ul’s soulmate and best friend…]
“You’re not even a person, just a talking crystal ball!!”
[…This is crystal ball discrimination…!]
“Heng! Non-humans are always on the fringe anywhere! And moreover, a crystal ball… It’s an element that wouldn’t have even a single demand even in the darkest of underground markets!!”
“…Are you indirectly mocking me for being a gumiho right now??”
Arin, rarely using even an exclamation mark, shone brightly expressing her opinion, but was ignored.
[I really need to acquire a human form out of frustration…]
“Really, get a human form and then talk, crystal ball!!”
Anyway, like that, the first to be eliminated was the crystal ball Arin.
Honestly, you wouldn’t introduce a crystal ball when meeting your lover’s parents, would you?
‘If it’s the master’s parents, they might have an incredibly open-minded view… No, is it already too late…’
Arin, thinking she would definitely succeed in transforming into human form, heroically fell in battle…!!
“Ha! Since everyone has problems, am I going to be the last one standing! I, Lee Suyeon, a famous hitman in the underworld and master of assassination, thus conversely proficient in security, am truly the right person for the job…!!”
“An assassin… talking back??”
“Get out!!! Honestly, weren’t you the most dangerous person at our first meeting!? If you have a conscience, let’s withdraw!!”
“Ugh…!! No, that was really an unavoidable situation back then, and I immediately repented and sided with the teacher…”
“Hmm, honestly, it’s a bit… inappropriate for Han-ul to meet his parents accompanied by an underworld figure, right??”
[I vote in favor of elimination. Tap tap tap.]
“No, if you’re going to say that, aren’t we all standing with one foot in the underworld from our current position!!! What’s with this hypocrisy!!!”
But having such a big flaw was a huge weakness in this battle where even the smallest things were blown out of proportion and even a slight touch could be a fatal blow…
And so the second person to be eliminated was decided.
In fact, everyone here doesn’t really care about such past and of course, being superhumans, they know that the present is the most important, but no one wanted to miss this chance, so it was like an irresistible force majeure.
“Kuk… How frustrating…!! I curse you all…!! Those who badmouthed me won’t be able to meet the teacher’s parents with the teacher this time…!!!”
“Mufufu! The curse of a sniper who isn’t even a sorcerer… I’m not scared at all?!”
“Since I was eliminated from the start anyway, I’m not scared at all, Lady Barrett!”
After that, following the continued war of words, only three warriors of reversal survived…!!
Heukmyo, Akame, Yeon Dalgi…!!!
“How… frustrating…”
Due to the difference in experience, seniority(?), and expertise on this fierce battlefield, Cheon Ryuhwa, who had the least experience, couldn’t hold on any longer and was eliminated after burning out…!!
Although Cheon Ryuhwa could physically withstand even EX-rank attacks and revive, even she couldn’t withstand mental attacks…!! There’s a limit to mental recovery after all!
And the remaining three, realizing they couldn’t eliminate other competitors through verbal battles anymore, decided to determine the winner with a final match.
“Going to meet the teacher’s parents…!! Then we can’t not prepare gifts!!”
“Then the match is… who can buy a gift that pleases Han-ul more!!”
“We move right now, and tomorrow morning we decide the winner according to Han-ul’s choice…!! We must accept the results without complaint…!!!”
As soon as the event was decided, everyone started moving quickly.
“Meeting Han-ul’s parents, he said his parents are ordinary people… so a normal gift of alcohol…!!”
Akame chose expensive wine obtained by mobilizing all her connections.
“These days there are many dangerous incidents, and based on the experience and seniority of this Heukmyo-nim who has spent the most time with the teacher, and my extraordinary intuition, this will be the best gift meow!! Nyahaha!!!”
Heukmyo quickly purchased a defensive artifact through the underworld.
“Ufufu! One of the qualities of a good wife and wise mother is taking good care of the parents-in-law!! And what greater filial piety is there than taking care of the health of your parents-in-law!!”
Lastly, Yeon Dalgi obtained medicinal herbs for health through a divine spirit she knows…!!
There can only be one winner…!!
Who will be able to break through this fierce and heroic competition and claim the glorious position of winner…!!
