Chapter 12
Episode 12. First practice (3)
– Can you really do it? At your level now, if you make one mistake, you will be seriously hurt.
‘are you okay. I know all the ways rock moles behave by heart.’
Baek Woo-jin slowly dragged his feet and approached the rock mole.
Tick.
The sound of Jeok Yeon-hwa pressing the stopwatch was heard from behind. When I glanced at it, I saw that it was ready to participate in battle at any time.
‘But that won’t happen.’
Baek Woo-jin ran out with his sword lowered.
Whoa!
The rock mole aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s lower body with the vine he was holding in his right hand.
-Avoid!
Using the rhythm of the voice of darkness, I jumped in place and avoided the mole’s vines.
The rock mole’s vines have thorns and are flexible, so jumping forward can cause serious injury. Jumping in place is the right answer to safely avoid its attacks.
“Girl!”
The rock mole’s eyes turned red when he saw Baek Woo-jin charging with his sword. Preparing for the second attack, claw chopping.
Chaaaang!
The moment Baek Woo-jin came into range, the rock mole’s fingernails became twice as long.
Sigh!
The rock mole swung its claws in an X shape as if tearing the air.
But Baek Woo-jin was no longer there. As if he knew, he stepped back and nullified the rock mole’s attack.
“Kick?”
“Now it’s my turn.”
Baek Woo-jin pointed his sword at the head of the confused rock mole.
“Kyaak!”
The rock mole swung its claws again without any thought of defense, as if trusting the vines and rocks surrounding its head and neck.
“You idiot.”
He muttered quietly and activated Rasa Doom’s aura.
[Rhasadum’s auror characteristic ‘Black Wind’ is activated.]
Whoa!
A black wind descended on Baek Woo-jin’s whole body. A shallow swirling black energy covered his sword.
“Kii…”
When the black wind was activated, the rock mole’s movements began to seem slow.
‘There it is!’
The only place Baek Woo-jin was aiming for was the brown gravel that filled the gap in the rock.
Phudduddduk.
When Baek Woo-jin stabbed his sword into the brown gravel, the rocks and vines that protected the rock mole’s vital parts collapsed along with the sound of the wind grinding.
“Kyaak!”
The rock mole, whose vital spot was exposed in an instant, was entranced. Baek Woo-jin threw his sword at the head of the defenseless man without hesitation.
Phew.
The rock mole rolled back his eyes and fell back. He died after being struck by a sword in a vital spot.
Ding!
[You have completed the unexpected quest.]
[200 reward points will be provided.]
The process of Baek Woo-jin defeating the rock mole was so natural as water that it was almost believable that it was all one scene.
“Wook….”
Baek Woo-jin, who had finished his work, looked back, spitting out the sound with his breath.
“Ah…”
I saw Jeok Yeon-hwa with her eyes wide open, like someone who had lost her soul. Even if I told other people that they would see that expression on Thunder Cloud Circle Jeok Yeon-hwa’s face, they wouldn’t believe it.
“It’s over. “I won the bet.”
“How…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa trembled as she pointed at the rock mole that had fallen behind Baek Woo-jin.
“I told you. “You can do it.”
“No, you are all first class! “It also became 1st grade today!”
“that’s right.”
“But how can you catch a rock mole? And what is that wind? No, what about all of this….”
Jeok Yeon-hwa’s expression was completely bewildered, as if she was so surprised that even her cool personality collapsed.
“I can’t tell you that. “Does Yeonhwa tell you all about her secrets?”
“Ugh….”
“Anyway, this boss is mine and I can make a wish for you, right?”
“profit!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa clenched her fists and clenched her shoulders. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed of my remarks that ignored Baek Woo-jin.
“Mr. Jeok Yeon-hwa of the powerful enemy. “I’ll keep my wish for now.”
“omg!”
As soon as the name ‘Defeating Jeokga’ was mentioned, Jeok Yeon-hwa’s eyes got so big that they seemed like they were going to pop out.
“How could that be…”
“I heard a rumor that the youngest daughter of the enemy family goes to the dungeon alone. “The gauntlet you are wearing is not an ordinary item, and the auror felt it had special power, so I took a stab at it. It seems to be real?”
“That…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa gritted her teeth. He was upset that his identity was discovered but he could not find out anything about the other person.
‘What the hell is this guy!’
It feels like I’ve been toyed with by this man from the beginning until now. It was the first time for her to be treated so one-sidedly.
“I am a bit concerned about how to use this, since I have the right to wish for the youngest daughter, who is said to be the prettiest and direct descendant of the royal family.”
“Aren’t you all direct descendants of the Baek family? If it’s that kind of sword technique, it’s Baekga or…”
“As I said before, I hate Shingeombaekga. If you are a swordsman from the Baek family, you take off the crane. “Do you really want me to believe you if I swear at you?”
“Uh…”
Jeok Yeon-hwa frowned. The swordsman of the Shingeombaek family is very proud of his family. The man in front of me who swears is definitely not a prosecutor from the Baek family.
-The real you…
‘Why?’
-The way you know everything but still make fun of it is very high-level. Look at him clenching.
‘cute.’
-It looks like he wants to chew you up. Is that cute?
I looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa at the words of darkness. It’s an angry face that doesn’t know what to do.
Baek Woo-jin laughed and approached the rock mole. At his feet was a silver ring with no pattern.
‘there is!’
-It’s that ring.
‘okay. When the boss dies, it drops items like that.’
I lifted the ring while answering the darkness. On the outside, it looks like a cheap ring that costs 100 won, but it may be a good item.
‘I need to go to the appraiser.’
-emotion? I can do that.
‘really?’
-okay. Wait and see.
Darkness paused for a moment and floated a holographic window in front of me.
[Vine Rock Mole’s Ring]
A ring with the attributes of a vine rock mole that increases physical strength, mental strength, and earth resistance.
Grade: Rare.
Wearable conditions: None.
Physical strength +5
Mental strength +5
Earth resistance +5%
‘Huh? If I wear this, will my physical strength and mental strength increase by 5? ‘It’s amazing!’
-I hope so, but that ability is additional.
‘addition?’
-okay. Put on the ring and call up the status window.
Baek Woo-jin put the ring on his index finger and brought up the status window.
[Status window]

The number +5 was added after the ability score.
-The only thing that affects your unique abilities is the title. Items further increase abilities. Anyway, it is true that your abilities will increase, so there is no need to worry.
‘Why worry?’
One way or another, if you are becoming stronger, what is there to worry about? It’s all just a good thing.
Tuk.
Baek Woo-jin took out the magic stone from the rock mole and turned around. Jeok Yeon-hwa was still looking confused.
“Are you still staring? It’s not difficult to find a dungeon with a boss thanks to the power of the enemy. Now raise your eyebrows. “There will be wrinkles.”
“under! “You really…”
Baek Woo-jin’s words further dented Jeok Yeon-hwa’s impression. It seemed like it was going this far. The first impression was very memorable.
-You really only choose to say things that make people angry.
‘In the future, the person who was so far away that I couldn’t reach is now in front of me, so I keep wanting to make fun of him. I have to stop now.’
People’s footsteps could be heard outside the cave where Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Yeon-hwa were.
“wow! “You really got it!”
“Young talented people did a great job together!”
“It’s crazy that you can catch a rock mole in so little time!”
Hong In-su and other talented people stuck out their tongues when they saw the dead rock mole. I thought he was still holding on or had failed, but the mole was dead cleanly.
“Good job.”
“okay. great job. “Thanks to you, I caught the vine moles with ease.”
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“….”
Hong In-su and the talented people thought that Jeok Yeon-hwa had caught the mole and praised her.
“…I didn’t do it.”
“huh?”
“I didn’t catch it! “I caught that person alone!”
Jeok Yeon-hwa pointed at Baek Woo-jin with a red face and left the dungeon.
“So you said you caught it by yourself?”
“A first-class rookie gets the boss?”
“That’s ridiculous!”
The talented people who had flocked to Jeok Yeon-hwa instantly surrounded Baek Woo-jin.
‘Is this how you take revenge? But it doesn’t matter.’
Baek Woo-jin did not particularly dislike receiving attention. This kind of attention is much better than the constant neglect and criticism I received in my past life.
After giving a brief explanation to the people and leaving the dungeon, Jeok Yeon-hwa had disappeared. Maybe he’ll go back to the powerhouse and try to find out more about himself.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter. ‘Because I’ve never lied.’
-I’ve never lied! You said you weren’t Baekga!
‘What are you talking about? I said I didn’t like Baekga. ‘I never said it wasn’t a white family.’
-…
Darkness was speechless. Come to think of it, Baek Woo-jin never once said that he was not from the Baek family. It just led to that illusion. He’s a guy with an unusually sharp mind.
‘right?’
-You’re great…
**
On his way to catch the boss, Baek Woo-jin even took the magic stones of the moles he caught and returned to Baekga.
“huh?”
When I returned to the dorm, there were two men standing in front of the door. He was a cute-looking young man and a handsome but heavy prosecutor.
“See you, Master.”
The two bowed their heads politely to Baek Woo-jin.
“what?”
“My name is Jeon Jun-hyuk, and I will be serving Master Baek Woo-jin from today.”
“My name is Moon Ju-young. “I have been assigned to escort Master Baek Woo-jin.”
As Baek Woo-jin, who became 1st grade, went to the Baekwijeon, people were added below him. Jeon Jun-hyuk is assigned the role of a butler who helps with living and administration, and Moon Ju-young is assigned as an escort.
-Oh, you have two subordinates? I succeeded.
‘What does success mean…’
I said that, but I felt a little excited because it was a treatment I had never experienced in my previous life.
“I’m counting on you.”
“It is an honour!”
“i look forward to.”
Baek Woo-jin shook hands with the two people and was about to enter the dorm when Jeon Jun-hyuk called Baek Woo-jin.
“From today onwards, your room will be on the 8th floor of Baekyujeon. “The luggage has already been moved.”
“8th floor?”
“yes. “The head of the family gave instructions to move there.”
“okay. “I’ll come back in just a moment, so please wait.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the place that was his lodging. When I saw the empty image, various memories passed through my head.
“It’s 10 years faster than my previous life. “And in a completely different way.”
-Why are you crying?
“No, like you always say, it’s just the beginning. “To get my mind back together.”
-okay. Now is the time to look forward and run, not to look back.
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin slowly looked around his room and then went out.
“let’s go.”
“All right.”
Under the guidance of Jeon Jun-hyuk, we headed to Baekwijeon. Moon Joo-young followed behind, keeping a distance.
-hey.
‘why?’
-The prosecutor behind you. It was him then.
‘Was he spying on me?’
-okay. The flow of mana is the same. Are you sure.
‘My father must be very interested in me since he put the black sword belt on me.’
Baek Woo-jin already knew that someone was observing him. I didn’t know who it was because I didn’t have the skills, but thanks to the words of darkness, I was able to figure out that Moon Ju-young behind me was the person who was watching me.
“This is the master’s room.”
Jeon Junhyuk bowed his head in front of Baekwijeon, who had already arrived.
“great job. “I’m tired today, so let’s both go back.”
“I will come back tomorrow morning.”
“okay. Ah, Prosecutor Moon Ju-young. for a moment.”
When the two were about to leave, Moon Joo-young was called separately.
“yes.”
“It’s all good. Please stand a little distance away when observing. “I also have privacy, right?”
“Ah…”
Moon Joo-young’s expression, which had been expressionless ever since we met, broke. His eyes trembled as if he had seen something incredible.
“Father, it’s so great of you to send a watcher from the Black Blade as an escort.”
After leaving those words, Baek Woo-jin entered the room.
‘How…’
Moon Joo-young couldn’t leave Baek Woo-jin’s room for a while. I think I was most surprised after picking up the sword. The youngest member of the Baek family was more of a monster than he expected.
“Ah, your expression is funny.”
Baek Woo-jin giggled and threw himself on the sofa.
-Hmph, I hope you found out about it because of me.
“no. “I was expecting it.”
In fact, Baek Woo-jin was predicting that someone was watching him based on Baek Cheon-hwa’s reaction. I didn’t know it was Moon Joo-young, though.
“Then let’s crack that one.”
-okay. Solve it quickly. Since you are so lucky, I am curious to see what will come out.
Baek Woo-jin smiled and raised his hand.
“I will receive compensation.”
[Sudden compensation will be paid.]
