The briefing room of the White House was swamped by waves of emotion.
The standing ovation from the reporters continued for minutes, and the spokesperson did not attempt to quiet them.
The chat window was engulfed in even greater madness.
The American flag and the red background ‘No’ emoticon symbolizing Na-me were pouring in by the thousands every second.
The reporters strongly sensed that today would be a historic day.
Na-me’s speech was far from the perfect standard presentation one would expect.
However, a 9-year-old foreign child delivered an impromptu speech in flawless English without passing through translation magic.
Her heartfelt words, stemming from her experiences, tugged at people’s heartstrings.
Some reporters took out handkerchiefs to wipe their tears.
Crying was enough to prove one’s purity.
While natural human rights are said to be granted from the heavens, Na-me demanded immediate practical action from the people.
Woven into her plea were warm considerations and concern for neighbors.
With the development of virtual reality and digital culture, how rampant individualism had become in Earth’s society.
Those who had dreamed of a warm society found it hard to shake their heads at that moment.
Due to time constraints, no questions were taken, and sighs poured out from the reporters.
Na-me only had her schedule to meet President Newsom left.
Where the pure white angel had departed, followers created portraits of the angel in different ways.
There were articles praising the speech itself, introducing Na-me’s past, and others explaining her current situation in Korea.
And the people of the United States would soon learn the truth.
“So, you mean he went to find juvenile offenders who deceive the law and taught them a lesson using their status as minors?”
An uncle enjoying beer at a pub in LA rubbed his beard, intrigued by the TV.
Zero tolerance principles for school bullying.
Hatred and outrage toward juvenile delinquents.
The unique nature of America where private sanctions occur very frequently due to its liberal mindset.
“That’s totally cool!”
And the macho culture as well.
He burst out laughing heartily.
It was the so-called cultural difference.
But in Korea, Na-na-me received a one-month suspension, and that was extended indefinitely by the parents.
It took just a moment for Korea to become the laughing stock of the world.

[President Newsom out to meet NoName, “It’s time the world learns from Na-me’s good influence”]
[Video of NoName-Newsom conversation released. Serious talks on war eradication, support for marginalized magical communities, indistinguishable from a summit meeting.]
[Outside the White House is a sea of people. NoName throwing finger hearts.]
[NoName finishes the entire White House schedule. Moving to the Massachusetts accommodation.]
[Why is America so excited about NoName? ‘The socially weak have become superheroes’.]
[Claiming “NoName is just like other hate crime perpetrators, the White House is putting on a show,” Fox News anchor gets criticized.]
When a domestic star catches attention overseas, Koreans often get intoxicated with patriotism.
Some belittle this as “national pride,” but it was also the driving force behind Korea’s cultural growth.
And now NoName is attracting unprecedented attention worldwide.
Yet, there are not many who can truly enjoy this situation.
[NoName is a talent that America salivates over]*[124]
In the US, the status of “woman + child + Asian + orphan + terrorism victim” is practically invincible.
And there’s really no reason that privileged classes would dislike her.
Starting with Na-name already being the greatest beneficiary of magic, she has demonstrated how to best utilize the capitalist system while operating a business.
And America, being crazily obsessed with science and medical technology, has now achieved the unmatched feat of “defeating Multiple Sclerosis and vision.”
And of course, the most beloved sport in America, Magic Battle, is also in play.
NoName’s one flaw is simply her nationality.
She should have been born in America from the start.
She was the talent that Korea would lose the moment it let down its guard.
But instead of comforting her mistakes, the academy suspends her, and petitions for the death penalty arise, it’s a total circus, LOL .
All citizens get talents that match their level.
Let me make a prediction: once the National Exchange Tournament ends next August, NoName will definitely run to America.
One hundred percent.
Since I’m not feeling great, check out the cute Na-me wearing square glasses.

– Every time I see NoName doing well, it makes me uncomfortable ㅠㅠㅠ
– If you think about it, the US hasn’t really done anything difficult for her—so why couldn’t we do it earlier?
– I keep feeling heavy in my chest for no reason…
└ Isn’t it obvious? LOL It’s like your ex is suddenly doing well, and the stocks you sold multiply in value the next day. LOL
└ Korea was too small to embrace NoName.
– So what have you done?
└ (Author): At least I wasn’t swayed when others called for self-reflection?
└ Americans are crazy about “justice.”
└ Can’t resist western duel cliches.
– Switzerland, what on earth did you foresee?
└ The kid that marked a hundred billion as the low…
└ For real, their insight is insane too.

[But there’s still hope, guys][84]
Who is NoName?
She’s the one who said she wouldn’t emigrate even if given 500 billion in the U.S.
Earlier, I mentioned she’d leave for America after the National Exchange Tournament in August, but on the contrary, wouldn’t that just mean we have that long to change her heart?
Her friends and family will all be in Korea, and living in a foreign country isn’t easy.
[Comments]
– Looks super happy, though?
– Now the family followed her too, right? They just took regular flights.
└ For real?
└ Then are they sending her off alone?
– But now it seems like they’re even willing to give a trillion!
└ (Author): If it’s a trillion, then for sure…

Even those unfamiliar with Na-me’s past will feel sad.
But those who know her past will feel even sadder.
Na-me spoke about helping socially isolated individuals based on her experiences.
There are people in our society who neither are trapped in capsules like Na-me nor can communicate.
I was one of those people who spent five years as a recluse in my twenties.
I was ostracized at university due to false accusations, and at one point, I even considered suicide.
Although I’m doing well at work now, those memories are chilling.
So when I first heard Na-me’s speech, it even felt like she was comforting me.
At the same time, I felt sympathy thinking about how painful it must be to recall those memories.
I have never seen anyone as genuinely kind as Na-me.
How can a child who cares more about others’ pain than her own be a psychopath or a ticking time bomb?
It’s just unfortunate how society tends to spew negative emotions rather than check the facts surrounding a famous person’s actions.

For those studying English, I believe this is a must-watch speech.
Even though translation magic is commonplace in daily life, mastering a language is essential for using the precise expressions unique to that country.
For an impromptu speech, it was remarkably structured, and the emotional appeal was extremely refined.
The entire speech took the form of metaphors and contrasts, yet the sentences were generally short and easy to understand.
Especially, the positioning of key words in each sentence emphasized the message with appropriate accents and non-verbal expressions, which was astonishing considering the speaker is just nine years old.
The speech has been analyzed in detail by others, so I won’t mention it here.
True genius shines through.
I will continue to support NoName’s journey.

– Even a stranger would think it’s just awesome.
└ 2222
└ That’s what makes it a truly great speech.
– Her English pronunciation sounds just like a local.
└ I couldn’t do that even in Korean LOL.
– “Being deprived of human rights must feel like this,” it seemed like Na-me got a bit emotional there, right…?
└ Can anyone recall the memories of being buried alive for seven years?
└ I feel so sad every time Na-me mentions the past ㅠㅠㅠ
– She’s more realistic yet unreal than the second coming of Jesus. How can a person be like that?
└ White is considered a symbol of resurrection in Christianity. NoName = resurrection.
└ Even comic book protagonists can’t make it that good.
People are unable to fully enjoy the historic events Na-me is currently achieving in real time.
The public outrage shifted towards the Korean government.
The nation has an obligation to prevent the exodus of its talents.
Especially since Na-me is a high wizard with a direct influence on national power.
As the year-end budget battles were consuming the lawmakers, one by one, they were summoned.
They were surprised to hear public opinion expressing that they would not shy away from initiating a citizen recall.
To anyone, it was clear that Na-me was already halfway to changing her mind.
What on earth could keep her from leaving?
Consequently, what Koreans wish for the most—be it for a birthday, or Parents’ Day, or what they value the most in life—was chosen to be money.
Naturally, the funds came from the wallets of tycoons wishing for amnesty.

Fresh air and good water.
The U.S. government secured a townhouse near Philips Academy for them.
On the first day, exhausted, she unpacked and jumped straight into any bed to sleep.
On the second day, she went out with her dad and Saetbyeol to explore downtown Andover.
It had been a while since the three of them enjoyed a leisurely trip together. Was it their first time?
“Our boss is giving a special service to this cute lady over here.”
“Ha ha, Na-me, this one’s for you.”
“Ah, thank you!”
“Sis, I wrote the name in red. Is that okay?”
“Of course, ketchup is red, not blue!”
Deliciously cooked omelette was topped with ketchup, spelling out ‘NoName ♥’.
She scooped a hearty spoonful of the plump omelette with ketchup and stuffed it into her mouth.
Professor Cheon wiped the ketchup off her mouth with a napkin.
One adult-sized bite was still a stretch for her small mouth.
Surprisingly, many people recognized her even in America.
In the afternoon, the Massachusetts Governor came to greet them briefly.
Coincidentally, he was also of Korean descent, which made things feel more familiar.
They explored Philips Academy together, and he introduced her to researchers studying eighth-circle dimension-reduction magic.
Then that night, she received an international call from Korea.
‘It seems this phone is finally reaching the end of its life.’
Given how anyone just calls me anyway.
[The government has allocated a special support budget of 280 million won this year due to the accomplishments of the Janjeol Clan. Additionally, 11.2 billion won was contributed by 16 companies. Whenever you come to Korea, the available budget is ready for you.]
“Please donate it all.”
[Yes, Clan Leader?]
“How I spend it is up to my heart, so I’m asking you to donate it all.”
At least for the next two months, she would forget Korea completely.
Yeah, I should play with Yuna and Si-hoo on the phone tonight instead of such trivial matters.
Given the time difference of 14 hours, they’re probably having lunch right about now.
