Off-limits area, the old teachers building. 

As if he had been running in a hurry, Jun-yeoul’s hair was windswept. 

“I can call you mentor, right?”

“Yeah, I’ll be your mentor. That first pitch was flawless.”

“Thank you, mentor! I do think the first pitch was just a bonus, though. If I was told in advance, I would’ve prepared for the attack and aimed for the position of the greatest contributor of clearing the other-world.”

The biggest contributors to Children’s Day’s Jamsil Baseball Stadium other-world clearing were Bang-yeoul Yeom, Blue Dragon, and Yong Je-gun, respectively. 

It won’t be easy to aim for the biggest contributor position by achieving more than these three. 

As expected, Yeom Joon-yeol has a different sense of ambition.

“Mentor, I summarized my thoughts on why you asked for these conditions. May I speak my mind?”

I haven’t taught anything yet.

The title of mentor had me in goosebumps, but I nodded.

“You had three conditions. You first asked me to throw the first pitch to call the Red Lion team and the Dragon clan. If I throw the first pitch, they can’t help but come.”

“You’re right.”

When I nodded, Jun-yeoul continued with a smile.

“The second request was to stay put until the end. This is because the Dragon clan usually leave before the 5th inning starts, even though they came to throw the first pitch. The other-world came out after the 5th inning. You needed to hold them until that time.”

Jun-yeoul’s words continued.

“Third was to keep it a secret until the day I throw the first pitch. This condition was probably the most important. Right?”

I didn’t answer and waited for Jun-yeoul to say the rest of his inference. 

He noticed my gaze and must have caught the meaning of it, because he continued talking right away. 

“If you simply knew that an other-world would happen, you wouldn’t have to hide it. You could have called the Players Association to prepare for it. But you didn’t do that.”

It would’ve been better to owe Kyu-bin Hong than to use the name ‘Phantom of the Red Wall.’

Leaving me and my complicated mood, Jun-yeoul pulled out a hologram to show some statistics. 

It was a comparison of the number of other-world incidents that occurred on May 5th, in Seoul’s downtown for the past 5 years, and the number of other-world incidents that occurred on this year’s children’s day. 

“On that day, the number of other-worlds in downtown Seoul has increased by more than 500 percent compared to the average on the same day over the past five years. With the best hit rate among the world’s satellites, the Player SAT-K, who has recently been checked on a number of occasions, has missed three SR++ class other-worlds. It’s weird to think it’s a coincidence.”

The hologram went on to the next slide. 

The excerpts from an article that reported on what happened at Jamsil Baseball Stadium that day were summarized.

The sold-out tickets for Jamsil Baseball Stadium and a picture of the next president’s family of Zuo Group and TC Group came up.

“Believe it or not, the other-worlders created an other-world using a way that could not be caught by satellites. Small other-worlds were created throughout Seoul to disrupt the Players Association. The three other-worlds that appeared that day without any foreshadowing were terror attacks targeting about 26,000 citizens and the family members of Zuo Group and TC Group that filled Jamsil Baseball Stadium.”
