I’m Going to Destroy this Country

Damn. If we mess up for real, it might be the end.

In truth, Shuri was more nervous than anyone else. It was all because of the evaluation.

Of course, this test wasn’t usually as difficult as talking to his grandfather.

Why would anyone want to be labeled a traitor among the clergy, and above all, miss the chance to easily win the ‘king’?

Even though the traitors could pass, they couldn’t receive the king. So no matter how hard they tried, having four kings was the maximum.

‘The problem is when political power comes into play.’

Betraying among families of ambiguous status wouldn’t bring much benefit. But what if betraying brought significant advantages?

‘And this time, the pure blood of the Red family is involved.’

The Red family was especially powerful, to the extent of attempting to try to butt heads with the Pope’s family.

That’s why Shuri had carefully played his cards to avoid making enemies. At least, he didn’t want any trouble during the .

Isaac had advised him to handle it well, saying, ‘Be careful with those little schemers,’ but Shuri still believed in his teammates.

‘We’ve been together since we were 10. There were some who didn’t get along, but still, we’re the only comrades we’ll have on the battlefield. Those guys won’t do anything to shed blood in the eyes of their comrades.’

While thinking this way…

“Surely, you’re not thinking that we’d make you shed tears of blood, aren’t you? Innocent Shuri Eshua.”

“…!!”

50 minutes before the vote.

Shuri was dragging the sleeping Isaac out of the bathroom during the meeting. Unexpectedly, he overheard a conversation while heading towards her team members.

“Hey, how are we going to vote?”

“You guys were approached by Naiser too, right? To betray Shuri.”

“…!”

Shuri flinched.

The team members from the Blue faction were talking in the corridor.

They seemed to be hesitating about Naiser’s proposal.

“I was approached too, but wouldn’t it be better to at least win one king this year? I also want to execute the Skeleton King’s subordinate.”

“Right. And if we betray, Isaac Eshua might come after us with a rattle…”

Some shivered at the thought, while others chuckled.

“Idiots! Isaac Eshua can’t do anything against the Red. What will he do once he’s inside the Red territory? Just betray and be done with it.”

Some frowned at those words.

“…Hey. No matter what, Shuri has done us some favors, isn’t betraying him in a bit too much?”

In fact, there was an unspoken agreement to let things slide in .

Even if there were individual evaluations in other areas, was essentially the gateway to the Academy, regardless of personal abilities.

Though Naiser’s proposal seemed troublesome, a few Blue team members were keen on it.

“So, we should do more. Shall we bring Eshua and these guys to the ground?”

“What?”

“Naiser promised business support and a 10,000-dollar business. Just a single vote on the ballot can get the backing of five major families!”

“10… 10,000! That’s the value of a territory! He’s really the heir to the Red…! Ambitious!”

“Is that so? But what about Shuri Eshua? Can he offer us something like that? Just go with us.”

“…Molech, didn’t you receive the most help from Shuri?”

“Last time, he didn’t listen to my request!”

“But Shuri was sick back then.”

“But what can I do about that? It’s meaningless if he can’t help when I need it! Don’t talk to me about being sick. It’s his own fault. Anyway, I’m not friends with him anymore.”

Shuri, who overheard this, clenched his fist, and Isaac sighed deeply.

‘That’s it, Bungbung. Favor isn’t always the answer.’

Some people appreciate favors, while others see those who are overly friendly as easy prey.

But well, he understood.

‘I have nothing, so what can I do?’

It’s not like he had only seen them for a day or two, but for 7 years, so it seemed like a good time for a change. It would have been sad if they had treated him like an animal.

Isaac comforted Shuri as if to say he hadn’t done anything wrong.

“Don’t cry. I don’t plan on going home just because I’m eliminated.”

This brother would take care of everything.

Anyway, those who were already learning to be mean, whether they were enemies trying to take advantage or traitors.

Isaac’s eyes lit up.

And now.

“The Blue team is unanimous in ! virtue passed!”

“…Huh?”

“Huh??!”

“What?!”

“Did they really pass? Is it, is it true?”

Shuri was extremely happy.

The aspiring priests from the Red team, who were laughing, froze, and Naiser Sephet opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn’t believe it.
