Chapter 127
Episode 127 Change:
A bright red light flashed from the flipped card.
-Ouch!
As soon as the red light burst out, the darkness folded its blade and moved backwards.
“After all, it is darkness.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked at the hologram window that appeared behind the card.
[The trait ‘Temperance’ is created.]
“Temperance?”
-huh?
Baek Woo-jin’s brow furrowed when he saw the name of the trait, and the darkness that had been sinking in quickly approached.
“What is this….”
– Temperance?
There was a little hope in the voice of darkness.
The name of the talent created through Legendary is Temperance, so I didn’t think it was a good trait because the name felt lame.
-please!
“You’re really disgusting too.”
– Turn on the information loudly and quickly!
Darkness watched with eagerness as Baek Woo-jin turned on the explanation of temperance.
[Moderation]
Reduces the amount of points used when raising abilities.
Applicability limit: All abilities above or above level.
“and!”
-crazy!
The explanation was simple, but its contents shocked Heukam and Baek Woo-jin.
“Awesome! “You reduce points when you increase your abilities?”
-Crrrrr….
Baek Woo-jin burst into laughter filled with joy, and Darkness lost hope and bit into a foamy mouth.
“How much will it decrease?”
Baek Woo-jin opened the status window again and increased his physical ability level by 1. The point that was 3700 became 2900.
“It’s 800!”
Thanks to temperance, the ability level increase was reduced by 200 points from 1000 points to 800 points.
– Two hundred?
An unexpected sound of teeth grinding was heard from the darkness.
-Two hundred!
Baek Woo-jin has more than 100 abilities to raise while going from advanced to best level.
-Ugh….
If you lose 200 points per ability, the number of points lost is well over 20,000. It was such an amazing effect that it wasn’t strange even if one’s soul escaped.
“It’s much better than the legendary item.”
-I can’t stand it anymore.
“huh?”
The darkness suddenly started struggling to get out of the window.
“What are you doing?”
-I will go up there and confront the system that is voyeurizing on us. I really can’t stand it anymore!
“Like that.”
Baek Woo-jin did not stop her and opened the window, telling her to do it herself. Darkness rose into the sky as soon as the window was opened.
“It’s a waste of time to look at that.”
Darkness and himself were soul bound and could not be separated for long. He’ll be back in less than a minute.
-Shit! Someday, definitely!
One minute later, the darkness returned automatically and cried out at the blue sky.
“Look, it’s a waste of time.”
Baek Woo-jin leisurely drank coffee and smiled.
* * *
“Woo Woojin.”
When Baek Woo-jin went to the Battle of Baekwi, Baek Myung-hoon, who was sitting in the lobby, stood up.
His lips and hands were trembling, as if he was extremely nervous.
‘What’s going on?’
Whenever Baek Myung-hun saw himself, he was busy running away like a mouse in front of a cat. It was the first time I had been stopped by my name.
“what?”
“Oh, that’s it…”
Baek Myung-hoon hesitated, unable to open his mouth easily.
“If you have nothing to say, I’ll leave.”
“wait for a sec! “I have something to tell you!”
“Then tell me.”
Unlike Baek Myung-hoon, who was nervous, Baek Woo-jin was relaxed. His face showed that it didn’t matter whether he spoke or not.
“Can’t we all talk somewhere else?”
“It’s annoying.”
“please! Please.”
“Follow me.”
Baek Woo-jin, who looked at Baek Myung-hoon for a moment, nodded and moved first. Baek Myung-hun swallowed dry saliva and followed behind.
‘It’s new.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at the warehouse behind Baekyujeon and smiled calmly.
-What do you mean?
‘If you think about it, this is like my first fight.’
I still vividly remember defeating Baek Myung-hun and receiving the unexpected quest reward at this exact location three years ago.
Using that reward and confidence as my driving force, I have now become a top-level spiritist and a level 7 swordsman, so it couldn’t help but feel new.
“say.”
In a situation where each other’s positions were completely reversed from three years ago, Baek Woo-jin nodded to Baek Myung-hoon.
“I’m giving up on being the heir.”
Baek Myung-hoon, who hesitated for a while, finally opened his mouth.
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Let me get under you!”
Baek Myung-hoon bit his lip until it bled and then opened his mouth.
-What is he saying?
‘You say you want to come under me?’
-Are you out of your mind?
‘It’s not that strange.’
-why?
‘Since Baek Seon-ah died, Baek Myung-hun must have thought he might die as well.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Myung-hoon without any change in expression.
‘I don’t know what the other brothers are thinking, so they probably came to me because I have a good reputation.’
-No matter how bad it is, would you say something like that to your younger brother who bullied you?
‘I guess that’s how desperate it is.’
-Tsk tsk.
I’ve seen it for years, but there’s really no one in this family I can understand.
“Why am I growing up?”
“If it were you, even if I became the head of the family, I would risk my life…”
“Are you saying I don’t think they will purge you?”
“That’s right.”
As expected, Myung-Hoon Baek came to see him to save his life.
-How did you know he would turn out like that?
‘I said it before, but Baek Myung-hoon is very scared. ‘He must have compared many things to find a way to live.’
Baek Woo-jin immediately figured out what Baek Myung-hoon was thinking.
“Speaking of other people, what about the third brother?”
“Seo Seong-hyeon goes around smiling, but after some time, I can’t tell what he’s thinking.”
“Since when?”
“I sometimes got a strange feeling when I looked at my brother. It’s like being in an ice cave…”
– Maybe it’s because he’s so scared, but he’s also quick to notice.
‘Is it a survival instinct?’
Baek Myung-hoon seems to have felt Baek Seong-hyeon’s different face just like himself.
“I understand for now.”
“huh?”
“I understand.”
“Then you will accept it….”
“That’s not true.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head.
“I can’t trust you right now. “I’ll think about it.”
You are the one in control of your current situation. There was no need to answer this right away or not at all.
“Oh, that’s right. That’s true, but…”
“Go see.”
“Yes. Please take care of me.”
Baek Myung-hun nodded and took a step back.
-What are you going to do?
“I have no intention of killing Baek Myung-hun, but I also have no intention of taking him under my wing. However, if I become the head of the family, that guy will leave the family on his own.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed as he looked at the space where Baek Myung-hoon disappeared.
“Because all the privileges that were as natural as breathing until now will disappear.”
* * *
“See you, Master!”
When Baek Woo-jin entered the inspection, prosecutors from the Medical Examiners’ University came running and bowed.
“How are you?”
“I trained until I pooped!”
Kim Woo-hyuk raised his hands and screamed.
“Kim Woohyuk!”
“are you okay. “If you’ve trained without pooping, you should acknowledge it.”
The owner, Hong Nam-gi, tried to stop Kim Woo-hyuk, but Baek Woo-jin smiled and waved his hand.
“young master. “Can I ask you a question?”
Hyeri Park raised her hand.
“say it.”
“Is what was posted on Blind Effect true?”
“Blind effect? “I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
“There was a post there saying that the young master defeated Hwangho.”
Park Hye-ri asked the question, but everyone was curious, so all the prosecutors swallowed their saliva and looked at Baek Woo-jin.
“okay. “It’s true.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and nodded.
“Wow!”
“I told you it was real!”
“There’s no one who didn’t believe it!”
“Amazing, Great! “I can’t believe our master defeated that yellow tiger grade 7!”
The prosecutors’ faces turned red and they could not contain their excitement.
They feel joy that Baek Woo-jin, whom they follow and teach, is the prosecutor who defeated Hwang-ho.
“Good job talking about Hwangho.”
Baek Woo-jin raised his hand and silenced everyone. All the prosecutors closed their mouths and focused their attention on Baek Woo-jin.
“As you all know, Hwangho is a strong man who rose to level 7 a long time ago. If it were normal, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with where I am now. But he gave up everything after one defeat.”
“Ah….”
“I let go of training and fell into the habit of focusing only on people inferior to me. So, instead of being a mountain lake girl, she became something worse than a stray cat. “It’s nothing to brag about.”
Everyone at the medical school knew what Baek Woo-jin was trying to say and listened to him with shining eyes.
“Defeat can happen to anyone. The important thing is how to overcome it. Develop not only your military power, but also your mental strength that will not be affected by defeat.”
“All right!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
The medical school prosecutors clenched their fists and answered loudly.
“Then start training again!”
“yes!”
The prosecutors dispersed into the training hall and began individual training.
“It was a good speech.”
Moon Joo-young approached smiling.
“It wasn’t a good speech and it wasn’t a good speech.”
Baek Woo-jin shook his head with an embarrassed expression.
“no. It was really good. “I’m so touched…”
“Don’t be rude, but what is that?”
Baek Woo-jin stopped Moon Ju-young from crying and pointed to the envelope he was carrying.
“This is a new mission.”
“It’s really annoying.”
“But it came down not in the name of the master, but in the name of the Seven Swordsmen.”
“Seven sword angles?”
Baek Woo-jin received the envelope and opened it. As Moon Ju-young said, the mission was not in his own name but in the name of the Seven Swordsmen.
-It looks like they are trying to assign the mission to the medical swords team, not you.
‘Level 4 crack defense?’
It was an appropriate mission because the current level of prosecutors at the medical school was in the early to mid to late 4th grade.
‘Not bad.’
Since the Association’s talented people and other guild’s will also come to the area where the crack will occur, it will be possible to resolve it without difficulty.
“Tell them you’ll take it.”
Baek Woo-jin returned the envelope to Moon Ju-young and nodded.
“Are we finally getting our mission?”
Hong A-ra approached Baek Woo-jin with her lips trembling.
“You did your duty. “Why is it like the first time?”
“It wasn’t an official mission. Ah, suddenly my heart…”
Hong A-ra clutched her chest and trembled. Although she had improved a lot, she was still very nervous and shy.
“A mission?”
“mission?”
Prosecutors from the Medical Examiner’s University heard the call for duty and gathered again.
-Not even kids.
‘It means that they wanted the opportunity to be active.’
The sight of the prosecutors running towards them looked like children flocking to snacks.
“I need to explain what happened right away. A mission has been sent to you. The mission is to protect level 4 cracks….”
Baek Woo-jin explained the contents of the mission to the prosecutors.
“This mission will be carried out by you alone.”
“yes?”
“Are you sure?”
“Without Lord Deputy or Guardian Moon?”
“This is a mission given to you from the beginning. “The level of difficulty is just right and there will be other talented people besides you, so there won’t be any problem.”
“But…”
The prosecutors, especially Hong A-ra, looked worried, but Baek Woo-jin did not change his mind.
“Be sure to prepare your body and mind well until the mission.”
* * *
“Phew….”
Hong Ara looked up at the sky and sighed.
In fact, Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young did not come, and only the medical sword belt arrived at the place where the crack opened.
“Not even 15 minutes left.”
The briefing went well, but as the time for the crack to open approached, the tension began to grow.
I was much more nervous than when I came to the dungeon alone for fear of harming the other swordsman.
“If you’re that nervous, you won’t be able to move properly.”
Hye-ri Park came over and tapped Hong A-ra on the shoulder.
“But I feel like if I make a mistake, someone else will get hurt.”
“That’s what we did last time too.”
“But this time, we are the center. “There is no master.”
“From now on, there will be many missions where we will have to do it on our own without you, Master. And if you make a mistake, we will correct it, so don’t worry.”
Hong Nam-gi came next to me and smiled as if telling me not to worry.
“I don’t agree. “If you make a mistake, the training is doubled.”
“Ugh…”
Hong A-ra, who was trying to relax thanks to Park Hye-ri and Hong Nam-gi, frowned at Kim Woo-hyuk’s words.
“Oh my! Are you frowning?”
“I didn’t tell my senior.”
“Stop and get ready. not much left.”
Hong Nam-gi blocked the space between the two and sighed.
“Our actions will affect Master Baek Woo-jin’s reputation. “It’s okay inside, but be careful outside.”
“okay.”
“sorry.”
“Stand in formation.”
Under Hong Nam-ki’s instructions, the medical examiner’s team stood in the position of the medical examiner. Their eyes were shining with excitement and nervous anticipation.
“come!”
* * *
“You’re good.”
Baek Woo-jin was chewing popcorn on the rooftop of a building and looking down.
Where his gaze was directed, the Medical Swordsman and other talented people were engaged in a fierce battle with the level 4 monster Hobgoblin.
“Our kids fight the best!”
Baek Woo-jin smiled proudly. His smile was like the face of a father watching his son play.
-I knew it would be like this. You brat!
“I became attached to it because I trained it myself.”
-If I say it twice, I will go on a honeymoon later. Tsk!
Heukam shook his head as if he was fed up, but could not take his eyes off Hong Ara.
“You’re worried about Ara too. “Because he is the disciple we raised together.”
-What are you talking about? Did you just see it?
“Oh my god, is that so?”
-It’s true!
“okay. okay.”
Baek Woo-jin laughed and looked down again.
There were associations and other guilds, but the ones that stood out the most were their own swordsmen.
“Oh, it’s delicious.”
Perhaps because I was feeling proud, the popcorn and cola were incredibly sweet.
-Is there anything special today?
“Something special?”
-Everything related to you causes something to happen.
“There’s nothing special today.”
I don’t remember everything, but I remember everything that was special or that happened for the first time.
Today, if we just close that crack, everything will be over.
“The rift is almost closing. Let’s go back first.”
It was time for Baek Woo-jin to get up and stretch.
Yiiiiing!
Emergency evacuation sirens began sounding throughout the city.
