The third match that took place was carried out in a flash. Led by Park Muyeol and I, South Korea fought desperately and as a result, we took second place. We couldn’t get first place due to the large score gap in the first game. However, it was still a remarkable achievement. The current rankings of each country were like this.
[-2nd World Competition Leaderboard-]
[1st. United States - 9 points.
2nd. South Korea - 8 points.
3rd. Spain - 7 points.
4th. China - 6 points.
5th. Russia - 5 points.
6th. France - 4 points.
......
Joint 12th place. Ukraine, Netherlands, Argentina, the Arabs - 2 points.]
The wall of the United States was high, even with Park Muyeol and I together. Spain was a team with Torres as the center, so it wasn’t easy. Meanwhile, China highlighted the strength of everyone who used martial arts.
In any case, all the scheduled matches were completed and my family and I managed to get home. The sun was setting and the time for dinner was approaching.
“You don’t have to do this, but thanks for taking me home.” After sending my family home first, I expressed my gratitude to Yoo Minseok.
Yoo Minseok laughed and extended his hand. “No. I’m even more grateful. Thanks to this, my position in the company has improved a bit. Elder, it is thanks to you.”
I told him, “Well, isn’t this called a win-win?”
“You know that saying?”
“My English teacher told me.”
The two of us laughed together.
Yoo Minseok looked at me and said, “Then I’m going now. I am really grateful for today.”
“Um, yes. Go carefully.”
“Yes. We will send a bus for you on time tomorrow. You will go to the stadium using it.”
Originally, Mido and I should’ve been preparing for the next event in the accommodations, just like the other players. It was Yoo Minseok’s consideration that allowed us to rest at home.
“Thank you very much.”
“No need. Then I’m going.” It happened as Yoo Minseok was about to get back in the car... “Ah, right.”
“......?”
“Maybe from tomorrow, there will be bodyguards guarding your house under the president’s special orders.”
“What?”
My eyes widened at the ridiculous words. Bodyguards? A special order from the president? What the hell was this?
“I think he was very happy to see the match. I told him that Elder is struggling with the reporters and he instructed us to make sure there is no discomfort in reality.”
“...Hrmm.”
In fact, the words were right. It had been too hard to exit the stadium just now. I managed to get out the back door but the reporters still chased me for photos. I had to click my tongue at their tenacity.
“Maybe tomorrow morning, reporters will be in front of the house. There is no need to refuse the bodyguards. Just accept it. It will be good for your granddaughter too.”
I heard it would be good for my granddaughter and was forced to nod. It had to be done if it was the best choice for Mido. “Thank the president for me.”
“Yes, I’ll do that. Then I’ll see you.” Thus, Yoo Minseok drove away.
I looked in the direction where he disappeared. The car he was riding disappeared into the sunset. I turned again and tried to enter the house. Just then...
“...Huh?”
Two cars arrived at the same time. Those who got off were faces I was very happy to see.
“Father!”
“Father-in-law!”
It was my youngest child, Choi Seohyeon, and my son-in-law, Gu Seokhyun. Choi Seohyeon was hugging my grandson, Gu Minchan, who had just been born. The ones who followed were my second child, Choi Jeonghyun, and my granddaughter, Choi Seohui.
All I could do was laugh at them. I naturally placed my hands behind my back. “Huhu. You’re late.”
Tonight seemed like it would be a pretty big feast. I was going to show off my culinary skills after a long time.

The next day arrived.
The time I spent with my family had been very rewarding. We talked a lot and everyone decided to sleep at Kanghyun’s place before going to the next day’s match. From the early morning, the house was very busy.
Crying crying!
“Honey, it looks like Chan is hungry. Get the milk in the bag.”
“Here.”
“Thank you. Our Chan was hungry~ Mommy will give you food straight away~”
My youngest child and son-in-law were frantically trying to soothe the hungry baby.
“Jeongdo, Mido, eat~ everyone eat~”
Everyone came to the living room and ate at the cry of my daughter-in-law who had woken up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. It was really noisy to have a meal with my family after so long. The highlights of yesterday’s matches were being shown on TV. It was the scene where I suddenly emerged to save South Korea and Mido from a crisis.
-This child’s grandfather,you bad guy.
"Kyah. Looking again, it is great. I thought it was over for Mido at the time.”
“Uncle, me too. Grandfather was really cool at that time. Really the best.”
My second son Choi Jeonghyun laughed while watching the TV. Mido also had bright eyes as she raised both thumbs at me. I just coughed a few times. My ears were burning red like kimchi dumplings. “Cough. Stop and let’s all eat.”
I picked up the spoon first and my entire family started eating.
Five minutes passed.
“Wow, Grampa is flying around!” Seohui shouted with her eyes still on the TV and it made my entire family laugh.
My youngest daughter, Choi Seohyeon, asked while feeding Chan milk, “Father, since when have you fought so well?”
“...Let’s see. Perhaps when I was five years old?”
“It is really cool, Father-in-law.”
“Huhu. Don’t flatter me. Come on and eat.”
“Yes.”
We quickly finished our meal. After all the preparations, Mido and I had to go to the stadium first. The bus arrived outside in advance. Mido and I stepped outside wearing national clothes with the traditional Taegeuk on them. The family came out to send us off.
Camera flashes started to burst out. I could see the reporters busy taking photos. At the entrance, the bodyguards were struggling to stop such reporters from coming in.
I looked over at my family and told my daughter-in-law, “Child.”
“Yes.”
“The bodyguards are working hard. We should at least give them a meal.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Let’s go, Mido.”
“Yes.”
Mido and I slowly walked toward the bus. Thanks to the bodyguards escorting us, we could barely get on the bus. The two of us sat next to each other.
“Phew. I’m glad to have some bodyguards.”
“I agree.”
The bus driver confirmed we had got on and slowly drove the bus. The bus rapidly entered the city center. Based on what Yoo Minseok said yesterday, we were heading to Park Muyeol’s house.
“Grandfather, do you know what the event for today is?”
“Um, I know. What was it called? Seok Hopil?”
“Star Field.”
“Yes, I knew that.”
“You seem to have no idea...”
Mido looked at me with suspicious eyes, but I really did have some idea. It was because it followed the rules of Battlefield, the event during the national team selections. The difference was that this was a national event and participants were in teams.
“I will explain and you will listen. Understood? I will carry you today.”
“Carre?”
“Ahh! Carry. Carry.”
“What is that?”
“Um, it is...”
I smiled happily and listened to Mido for a long time. The weather was chilly today, but it was a sunny sky with no clouds.

At this time, a bus carrying the Russian representatives was driving on the roads. The accommodations were in Gyeonggi-do and on this very expensive bus, there was a capsule reserved for players. Reina was connected to the capsule. She accessed the game and looked at the community sites that were full of stories about Dark Wolf.
[Shocking! The identity of Dark Wolf. It turned out to be a 68 year old grandfather!]
[The nationality of Dark Wolf is Korean! The even more amazing thing is his age!]
[I can’t believe it! What the hell does he do?!]
[Choi Chuntaek’s tremendous charisma. His kicks make the world tremble!]
[The secret of his level up is the senior citizen’s preferential service!]
“......”
Reina looked at a photo with a disbelieving face. A wrinkled face with white hair. His hair was as white as moonlight. A photo of him with his hair tied up and kicking in the air was adorning the front page of the community.
“...No, this is ridiculous. I can’t believe it.”
She truly didn’t want to believe it. The man she had been so attracted to. He wasn’t a middle-aged man with a really cool voice like she imagined. He was an elderly grandfather around 70 years old. She was incredibly frustrated by this fact. No, she wanted to deny it.
“Kuek...”
She bit her nails in an uneasy manner. Then she entered Dark Wolf’s fan cafe connected to the community. The name was Wolf’s Temptation. A close-up of Dark Wolf’s ass was captured and photoshopped before being hung on the homepage. The bottom corner of the photo read:
-Made By. Reina
"Kyaaak! This is crazy. This is crazy. Crazy!”
The moment she saw it, Reina’s black history seemed to be created. Her hands that struck the grass of the forest showed how ashamed it was. She soon regained her calm and started to look at the comments of the fan cafe members.
└ Wow, I never even expected it. He is a grandfather.
-Isn’t he cool though?
└ I was expecting a handsome face ??
└ Wow. It is really shocking and terrifying.
└ I’m sorry. I’m leaving now ??????
All the comments that followed were those of shock. Some of them said they would leave the fan cafe because he was a grandfather. They thought his face was handsome when he took off the mask, but they didn’t like it because he was a grandfather.
Of course, not everyone was like this. Most people thought he was cool. Others voiced their support. There was even the opinion that the name of the fan cafe should be changed. If so, what should she do?
‘I...’
Reina covered her hot face with both hands as she recalled the past. From the moment she started chasing a star in the fan cafe to the days when she stayed up late making photos. Then not long ago, she followed him through the hot lava field for a week and acted as a strange stalker...
“Aaaaack! Reina, you idioooooot!”
She didn’t hesitate to make remarks that degraded herself in the grassy forest. The words she shouted echoed and stuck in her ears.
“...Hah.”
Reina looked back at the screen with tears in her eyes. Her hand was pointing to a place in the corner. It was the [Unsubscribe] button.
It has been one week since the event started, five more left to go until the event ends. I hope you\'re working on your submissions
