Ayeon’s surprise remark.
There was still no answer, but this time, a slight presence was felt.
Ayeon began to step toward the direction of that presence when she opened her mouth again.
“But if you can’t bear to point out incorrect spelling, or if you’re annoyed, you should suspect your own obsession.”
Crack!
A sound of teeth grinding came from somewhere.
There was definitely a reaction.
However, since the researchers still hadn’t shown themselves, she decided to continue speaking.
“Is there no dignity? Can’t people make a mistake or two while living?”
“Shut the hell up! You crazy— gag!”
Someone shouted, but it seemed they were grabbed before finishing their words, letting out a wheezing sound.
This time it was loud enough to somewhat pinpoint the location.
However, nothing could be seen at the source of the sound.
Still, since there was a reaction, she decided to provoke a little more.
Ayeon expressed her grievance in her voice.
“What I said makes sense, but where did I go wrong?”
“Let go! I’ll kill that guy!”
A researcher suddenly emerged from the empty air.
At the same time, a musty smell suddenly wafted from their disheveled white gown.
It seemed they had been hiding using the rare ability of an Illusion Ability User.
From the way they erased both presence and smell, it appeared to be at a considerable level.
Meanwhile, the researcher, panting, pointed a finger at Ayeon.
“Who the hell talks like that!!!!”
He looked ready to attack at any moment.
But Ayeon merely chuckled and provoked the remaining spelling villains.
“Why not?”
That statement was the fatal blow.
Suddenly researchers started to appear, charging at Ayeon.
“I am the f*cking Grammar Nazi, you dog bastard!!!”
“When King Sejong brings Hangeul here, you better bow down!!!”
“Being around an idiot like Kim Shinwoo has clearly given you anxiety!!!”
Using their abilities, sparks were flying from their hands.
They were swinging various experimental tools attempting to hit Ayeon’s head.
Had it not been for their white gowns, you might mistake them for berserk warriors.
It was indeed an overwhelming sight.
However, Ayeon was not going to be intimidated.
“Everyone’s got beer in their heads, so it’s quite comfortable.”
As Ayeon summoned beasts to use as a wall to block their attacks.
At the same time, she summoned another beast behind her to effortlessly subdue the charging researchers.
As a result, the researchers were forced into close contact with the ground.
Some tried to resist fiercely, but as Ayeon summoned additional beasts, their resistance faded away.
Seeing them, Ayeon shouted even more unfairly than before.
“How could even my husband have anxiety issues and unleash a pregnancy attack? Only this host can do a pregnancy attack.”
“Please stop! And it’s not a pregnancy attack; it’s an ad hominem attack!”
One researcher, clutching an arm that seemed to be broken at an odd angle, still tried to correct Ayeon until the end.
But Ayeon shook her head firmly and stated.
“No, it is indeed a pregnancy attack.”
“Stop talking nonsense!!! The empty-headed one is you!!!”
A researcher, revealing his teeth, was ready to snap back at Ayeon.
But upon hearing Ayeon’s following words.
“I’m doing it with my husband every time.”
He had no choice but to swallow his prepared words.
Clearly, it was a clerical festival only Ayeon, as a woman, could say.
Yet, Ayeon still wasn’t loosening her tension.
‘There are too few of them.’
The number of subdued researchers was significantly less than what she saw while chasing them.
Those who were less sensitive to spelling likely remained hidden.
From that, two facts could be deduced.
One was that they were not spelling villains, but researchers from a scientific background.
And the other was that there was still an Illusion Ability User among them.
Because of that, she decided to approach from a different angle.
If they were from a scientific background, coding was essential.
So, she decided to provoke them with a phrase that could send a coder into a seizure.
Kim Shinwoo would have done just that.
“HTML is undoubtedly the most perfect programming language you know.”
“Shut your fcking mouth, you piece of sht!!!!”
Filled with rage, the researchers’ abilities were released, revealing the group of researchers.
However, they neither blamed the Illusionist nor hid their bodies.
They were all trembling with fury.
Their actions seemed to implicitly acknowledge that the Illusionist had released their abilities and should have complained.
Just then, a researcher with a gaunt face pointed at Ayeon with a muscular hand that seemed completely out of place.
“From your attire, you seem to be a martial artist (??), but do you think it’s okay to attack civilians!!!”
“What do you mean by that? You are not civilians, you are indeed martial artists.”
Ayeon tilted her head with a puzzled expression as if she didn’t understand.
The researcher shouted and spat as he continued.
“Don’t be ridiculous! We are people who do both programming and biotechnology!”
“So, it’s true that you’re martial artists.”
Ayeon continued calmly without a hint of agitation.
“Basically, martial artists start their journey by making a declaration to the world.”
“What does that have to do with anything all of a sudden! That’s something martial artists like you would do!”
Out of the blue, Ayeon’s words made the researcher even more agitated.
Just as the researcher was about to retaliate even more fiercely, Ayeon nodded and opened her mouth as if it was obvious.
“Your coding also starts with the words ‘Hello World.’ Since you declared it to the world, you are indeed martial artists.”
“…I can’t listen to any more! I’ll kill you here!”
Unable to argue against Ayeon’s words, the remaining researchers began charging fiercely.
Though their appearances were all different, the charging group of researchers shared one common characteristic.
They were all holding Binary Swords.
They formed some semblance of a formation while holding their heavy Binary Swords inscribed with lots of 0s and 1s.
Although it was a bit shabby compared to the 108 Dragons of the Holy Knights, it was still not to be underestimated.
With white gowns billowing like capes, they shouted as they approached Ayeon.
“I’ll separate you with 0s and 1s!!!”
“I’ll kill the Null!”
“Ridiculous.”
At that moment, Ayeon waved her hands summoning three beasts.
She had to burn everything that existed, so she summoned fitting beasts for the task.
The Spirit of Fire Naias.
The Spirit of Fire Undine.
And even the Spirit King of Fire, Elquiness.
Immediately after, Ayeon stretched her hand towards the charging group of researchers.
And shouted loudly to activate the beasts’ skills.
“Fire Blast!!!”
A fierce blaze erupted from the three fire spirits, engulfing the group of researchers in a flash.
However, it seemed that because they had doctoral degrees, they weren’t completely defenseless.
Rather, they quickly gathered their swords in one place and focused to use their abilities.
“Using a conditional statement for fire, please output a Barrier!”
With that, phrases starting with “if” and the word “Barrier” densely materialized around the researchers, protecting them.
Certainly, since they used conditional statements for fire, they seemed to be blocking it decently.
Clang!!!
Suddenly, there was a sound of shattering glass, and part of the barrier was destroyed, letting flames seep through the cracks.
And the flames began to ravage the inside of the barrier and the researchers in an instant.
As a result, the researchers lost focus, and their barrier completely fell apart.
“Why did the barrier break?”
“There shouldn’t have been any bugs this time…”
“Failed. Failed. Failed.”
With those words, the researchers were engulfed in flames.
Amidst the pain, they began to express something else upon witnessing the next incident.
“What, why!!!!”
“This is nonsense!!!”
“This is a dream!!!”
The event in question was none other than their swords breaking.
“Our Binary Swords!!!”
“This was supposed to be an indestructible weapon!”
“With this, I could have made a girlfriend in the digital world soon!”
As they wept, clutching their broken Binary Swords, their real-time concerns about getting burned were dwarfed by their heartbreak.
One researcher, tears streaming down his face, questioned Ayeon.
“How did you destroy this perfect weapon?”
“It was a fine sword, but at best it’s a Binary Sword (二？).”
Ayeon nodded and began to speak calmly.
“2 cannot defeat a greater number, which is 3.”
“…What are you trying to say?”
The researcher, still not grasping Ayeon’s words, stood still listening, despite the flames consuming his body.
And just as he heard Ayeon’s next words.
“Thus, it is only natural for you to lose to my Three-Phase Evolution (三？火).”
“…I see. I needed ternary logic.”
Nodding along, he promptly fainted.
A look of someone who understood something crossed his face.
