Chapter 93.
In accordance with the special intellectual property rights of superpower, disputes related to superpower will be judged internationally regardless of the country.
In other words, just because Koreans possessed magic, the Korean government cannot immediately take possession of it.
Of course, since Koreans are Koreans, in order to somehow preserve magic as theirs, the Korean government dispatched competent lawyers and agents to assist Yoo Seodam.
However, their assistance doesn’t mean much.
In the first place, the judging criterion of superpower intellectual property rights was in the end, ‘how much can you claim ownership of those superpowers?’Even if there’s an attorney who knows the law well and good at debating, can they really win against the evidence that Yoo Seodam would present?
No way.
However, Korea also wanted to do their best.
Since the Morian Guild has already revealed that they have been researching the science of magic for hundreds of years through YTUBE and various news channels after the press conference, the chance of victory of the Another League and bringing copyright of magic to Korea was quite slim.
“Yekaterina and Yoo Seodam of Another league, please take a seat..”

In the case of a dispute over the superpower special intellectual property rights, a hearing was held at the International Association of superhuman, and the interference of the country was impossible.
The International Special Committee Hearing held with a total of 500 attendees and more than 50 lawmakers. No wonder Yekaterina is very nervous.
Seodam handed Yekaterina one of his horn-rim glasses.
“This is?”
“It’s’ Glasses of Courage’. If you wear it, you become brave.”
“There’s something like that?”
“Sure. Can’t you believe me?”
“I believe you!”
Yekaterina nodded and wore the glasses.

Of course, there was no such thing as glasses of courage in the world. I just said it to give her some courage.
Not only Yekaterina, but Yoo Seodam himself was quite nervous.
In his 16 years-old-long career as an F rank hunter, he had never stood proudly on such a big stage.
However, within a year, his whole life changed drastically.
He killed a reincarnator, he killed a regressor, killed a reincarnated body of witches with power comparable to gods, killed a legendary holy sword that ruled the empire for a thousand years, and stood against the demon king and killed the world’s hero as well. (T/N: Sad Dharma didn’t get a mention.)
Of course, there’s also a mix of exaggeration. However, what had happened in the past one year had taken Yoo Seodam’s mental strength to a whole new level. Thanks to this, he was able to avoid being scared stiff in such a place.
But courage alone couldn’t change the world. But it’s a good idea to show such courage in front of the super-giant guilds like Morian and Lost Day.
Courage is just the minimum preparation you need before a fight.
“Avon of the Morian Guild, Yu Haram of the Lost Day, please take a seat.”
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Seodam looked straight ahead.
In the case of superhuman copyright and plagiarism disputes, the association would prepare a place for both parties to present their evidence and discuss some things before deciding who is right or wrong.
In other words, just like Yoo seodam and Yekaterina, Avon was also present in this place. Right next to her, Lost Day’s Guild Master Yoo Haram sat and looking towards Yoo Seodam’s side, with a relaxed smile
‘Lost Day, huh?…’
Yoo Seodam knew, when the variant dungeon appeared in Incheon, Lost Day was using a suspicious machine that combined magic and science that he didn’t know the whereabouts of.
At the time, Lost Day was very confident that they would break through the Dungeon. After all, they got help from a magic-centric guild like Morian.
Now that he was kicked out of Lost Day, there is no need to worry about, but the character of Yoo Haram itself was a big wall that Yoo Seodam had to overcome.
Seodam couldn’t help but sighed while looking at the relaxed Yoo Haram.
“From now on, we will begin the discussion about Mystical ability that uses essence energy and the ownership of ‘magic’.”

All cameras focused on both Yoo Seodam’s and Avon’s face.
“First, Master Avon of the Morian Guild. Please speak.”
Avon got up and gave the narrator her greeting before she walked forward.
As it was a hearing related to superpower, there were originally a place to fully demonstrate the superpower, or a variety of ether dispensers and ether sensing equipment, but now they have been removed and replaced with ‘essence’ sensing equipment.
Avon came out to the center and pressed the remote control towards the translucent screen. Things like ancient documents and materials flow out.
“Hello, I’m Avon. As you all know, I’m a magician. Everyone. It’s only been three days since the magic was revealed. But do you know what? In fact, magic has been studied since long ago, even before ancient Egypt. Essence energy has been discovered very recently, but our ancestors have been using the essence of energy steadily in harmony with nature and the universe, and the result has finally emerged in my generation.”
The screen started from a very long time ago.
Ancient magical characters engraved on parchment that have been judged by experts to be made more than a thousand years ago. With every click the time period moved closer to the present, and finally the age of creating magic with ‘machine’ in the modern world.
As Avon turned to his finger, an object wrapped in a thick cloth emerged.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
It was a very bizarre-looking machine. Wires were connected to the white crystal ball and things like round plates were spinning around it. The device which resembles a light bulb can be said to be more unique than any other dispenser I’ve seen before.
“This is a dispenser that lets the magic manifest. So far, we can only use magic around B to C rank with the portable version of it. But if we increase the scale a little, we can use magic that is close to A rank. And this is also very useful for hunting monsters.”
Along with that, they released data about the magical machine that they have been studying together so far.
The data footage, which had been filmed more than 10 years ago, contained trial and error of numerous magical machines, and it was perfect evidence that Yoo Seodam could never argue against.
“We have been studying magic for a very long time. Yes, Yekaterina’s magic is more unique than ours. Maybe it’s more advanced in some ways than our magic. But, in the end, that’s nothing more than a secret study of some of our magic. For that, we demand her to return all of her magic to us.”
Yes. That was a very good reason for the Morian Guild to argue against Yoo Seodam. They are claiming that Morian Guild was the only one that has developed magic on Earth
Apparently, Yekaterina’s magical skills were better than theirs. However, all the history of the development of magic up to the present day remains in the hands of Morian Guild.
That means that just because Yekaterina had better abilities doesn’t mean that she could infringe superhuman intellectual property rights.
Yekaterina’s expression turned pale.

It was some sort of trauma.
Every time Avon made that confident look, she would be persecuted. She needs to hide or she’ll be taken away. Yekaterina pale countenance made the audience’s attention shifted towards the elated Avon.
The evidence was perfect.
The most important thing to do when dealing with superpower intellectual property disputes was showing them the evidence about ancestor and history.
“Okay, now. Another League. Please tell us what you’ve prepared.”
By the way. There’s one thing that the Morian Guild did not know.
Another magic aside from their own magic existed on earth.
“Sure.”
The situation was quite unfavorable, but Yoo Seodam has learned a lot while hunting for ‘protagonists’.

And now he was ready to use them.
Putting on his glasses, Yoo Seodam slowly walked toward the screen.
“Are there any prepared materials?”
“There’s none.”
There is no data.
“That data is mine.”
Instead, there was shamelessness.
“……What are you talking about, Mr. Seodam?”
“It’s mine. They’re stealing from me and claiming it was their own.”

“Huh.”
While everyone was taken aback, Seodam spoke up.
“Well, I’ll just prove it myself.”
“How are you going to prove it?”
“Let’s point out the flaws in data prepared by the Morian Guild, one by one.”
At his remarks, the audience became noisy.
Trying to act smart out of nowhere?
Seodam approached Avon and asked.
“Excuse me, can you give me the remote control?”
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Avon looked at the narrator. And he nodded in approval. In these hearings, it was necessary to accommodate all kinds of situations.
Yoo Seodam took the remote control and swiped through the data, and went straight to the data about ‘Ancient times’.
The ages where magic first started, the beginning of magic.
The reason was simple.
‘Will modern witches be able to understand the mindset of ancient witches?’’
Witches existed in different kinds of world, and they always showed their peerless talent in the study of magic. But in most of the world, the population of witches were declining, the same applied on Earth as well.
Thus, the remaining witches in modern times were nothing but half-blood witches.
One of those half-bloods was Yekaterina, however she inherited the purest witch blood on earth and possessed the power of prophecy.
In return for the prophetic ability, she lost her eyesight and magic, and she was unable to make rational judgments because she still had her emotions.
This content is taken from lightnovelpub[.]com
Other witches are no different. Although their emotions were somewhat lacking, it was still there nonetheless. It was because, through the witch’s long history on earth, human blood was eventually mixed in, making it impossible for modern witches to properly understand the magic of ancient witches.
‘Look at those crappy magic they submit as evidence.’
Certainly, the idea of manifesting magic through science was commendable, but it was by no means an ideal for a pure-blood ‘witch’.
The witch’s magic was already perfect by itself.
In most of the world, witches had a strong individualism, that was the reason why they were extinct. They simply don’t have enough time to develop their magic
However,
What about the witches from the universes where witches almost rule the world?
How about the witches from a world where a legendary witch competed against ‘Sword Emperor’ a man who transcends the limit of humans?
How about the witches from a world where any witch could act freely and has developed their magic for hundreds of years?
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
Is it possible to compare their magic with the magic of Earth?
Of course, even if he’s Yoo Seodam, he couldn’t know about all of the magic that existed on numerous worlds
However,
[Searching for the magic….]
[Searching…]
[Search Complete: Primal Magic Usage Report]
[The magic technique in this device is judged to be backward compatible.]
He had ‘Library of the White Witch’ which contained all about magic starting from the development of magic to the trial and error phase.
“First of all, I don’t know how you got this data, but I’ll prove it to you that all of this data is filled with fallacy.”

“It’s an ancient material. How are you going to prove it?”
In response to Avon’s rebuttal, Seodam shrugged.
“It’s not that the ancient data is wrong. I’m trying to prove that you stole my data and studied it wrongly.”
“······”
Avon giggled at Yoo Seodam’s blatant and stupid words, but she did a good job to not let it shown.
“First of all, you seem to understand ‘Nason third law’ about the circling of Mana. But you are wrong. In the first place, this law must be applied in tandem with the ‘Purdyson Transformation’ and the ‘Zero Mana Invariant Principle’. The magic you developed has turned into a sham, and it prevented us from casting ‘three-dimensional magic’.”
Speaking so, Seodam touched the dispenser Avon brought.
A dispenser that can only be handled by the Morian Guild.
However, a light flickered by one simple motion of Yoo Seodam, and then a fire magic manifested.

“Even if you don’t use this method.”
This time, he raises his finger to the air.
At the same time.
-It’s annoying~
When the silver spirit flower triggered the magic, it was uselessly splendid and inefficient, but anyway, the colorful magic circles were generated to dazzle the eyes of modern people, and then fire broke out..
“If you had studied magic properly from the beginning, this could have been the result.”
“…..!”
Morian Guild cannot use magic without a device called ‘essence dispenser’.
However, Yoo Seodam was able to use magic without the help of an essence dispenser, and he was telling Avon that if she had studied magic properly, she could use magic without a dispenser.
Updated from lightnovelpub[.]com
“It’s not just that. The next page clearly stated: ‘Mana is preserved in the air, and when it begins to interfere with the physical realm, the Mana is attributed to the universe.’ But look at inventions. Didn’t you make a dispenser which contradicts the statement? I’ll use this for a moment.”
Yoo Seodam pointed at a small portable essence dispenser to use it as a material, he didn’t even wait for the answer before putting it on and starting it.
“You said earlier that you can only use magic with an output around B to C rank. If you understand the data a little more from the beginning….”
Woooonng!
A huge fireball manifested in the air. The ether detector that Avon brought to measure the power of magic was beeping crazily as if proving that the fireball output was enough to be A rank in terms of ether output rank.
“This would be possible.”
From then on, Yoo Seodam kept pointing out the data brought by Avon, one by one.
He acted as if he was really the owner of the data.
As if he had really studied the data of ancient magic.

“Oh, did you read this properly? It was good that you stole it, but did you read it properly?”
Honestly, Seodam also wasn’t comfortable doing this. His skill ‘Library of the White Witch’ was also a skill that he stole from someone.
However, if there’s someone who tries to harm him or his companion, he is willing to use anything, whether it was stolen skills or something else, to trample on his opponent.
Things were getting more and more interesting.
Yes, Morian Guild was the one who brought the data. But isn’t there too much difference in terms of ‘understanding’?
Yoo Seodam’s understanding wasn’t something that could be mastered overnight. Even the Morian Guild still had many things they couldn’t understand. Yet, Yoo Seodam had answered it for them, and even demonstrated magic to prove it.
“Avon of the Morian Guild. Please speak up.”
So, even though it was her turn once again,she couldn’t speak properly. She could only bite her stiff lips.
Should she insist? This material was clearly theirs. All the words that came out of Yoo Seodam were nothing but lies.

However,
Wasn’t everything that he said correct?
Weren’t all magical secrets that they didn’t know of being unraveled one after another right now?
To say that the magic of Yoo Seodam was a ‘slightly advanced’ than theirs, weren’t their techniques so far apart?
And with such a huge knowledge gap between them, can she still say that the data is theirs?
Would people believe that?
“…Ah, Yes. Hunter Yoo Seodam’s remark is right, your magic is definitely far more advanced than us.”
Eventually, Avon had to acknowledge Yoo Seodam’s magic.
“But that and this is a separate matter.”
This content is taken from lightnovelpub[.]com
“What separate problem is it?”
“You are definitely better than us. But Yekaterina’s magic is ours anyway.”
“Why?”
“Of course, that child is….”
Avon, who tried to speak, was barely able to stop by biting her lips.
On the contrary, Yoo Seodam was excited. This was something he wouldn’t say until right this moment.
However, Yoo Seodam wouldn’t let this opportunity pass just like that.
“Of course, she couldn’t learn my magic because she had no means of communication with the outside world while being held captive by you. Aren’t you trying to say that?”(T/N Checkmate mofo
“….!”

Originally, he had to shoot another bullet at this time. But he didn’t. He simply waited for an answer from Avon.
But, she couldn’t say anything or even contradict his claim.
The moment of silence was enough for the audience to think about his statement.
While everyone was thinking about the same thing enough, Yoo Seodam spoke once again.
“Avon. Where did your guild’s renowned ‘Prophet’ go?”
“That’s…..”
Yoo Seodam threw another question, but this time, towards the audience, not Avon.
“Everyone. The ‘Prophet’ has been active in the Morian Guild for a long time. However, no one in the world knows the Prophet’s face or name. We thought it was just for the comfort of the Prophet. But….. What if they locked the Prophet up in fear that another guild would steal her from the Morian guild? What if they completely blocked all of her connection to the outside?”
“What are you talking about…! Stop talking nonsense!” [E/N: Yass bich! Expose them!]

“The witness is here now. Avon, how long are you going to be so shameless?”
Yoo Seodam looked at Yekaterina as he said that.
In fact, just by showing the difference between his magic and Morian Guild, it would clear the suspicion of plagiarism. His magic would have been recognized as another individual’s magic.
However, Yoo Seodam didn’t stop there.
That’s because he tried to completely sever the ties between Yekaterina’s magic and the magic of Morian guild.
‘Ah…..’
Yekaterina, who was being gazed at by Yoo Seodam, slowly turned her head and looked at Avon.
She wore an expression Yekaterina had never seen before. Her plan was completely ruined, and she was filled with embarrassment and she clearly didn’t know what to do.
She was no longer the object of fear.
After all, Avon was also a wall Yekaterina had to overcome.
‘She is feeling the same fear.’
Yekaterina slowly stood up. If she said, ‘I’ve been imprisoned in the Morian Guild for more than 10 years’, the world would have laughed.
However, the Morian guild had admitted it tentatively. They were also losing the plagiarism case. They were now in position to defend, not accuse.
“I am…… I am Yekaterina, who once worked as the ‘Prophet’ in the Morian Guild. Would it be okay for me to speak?”
The world will surely listen to her.
