I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 39 The plate is set (5)

“Is your arm hurting? “Can you give it to me quickly?”

Baek Woo-jin made a shaky voice and snapped his fingers. It was so obnoxious that even the darkness shook its head.

“Phew….”

Song Ji-hoon could barely resist the urge to cut off Baek Woo-jin’s fingers. I felt extreme regret at the thought that I had to somehow end up in the dungeon.

“Then why bet on someone who stays still? If I hadn’t made the bet, I would have just been embarrassed, but now this is a total mess. “What crime did those two commit because of you?”

Baek Woo-jin pointed to Seo Jin-hwan and Kang Hoon standing on either side of Song Ji-hoon. As soon as the two heard those words, they turned their heads towards Song Ji-hoon.

‘Now that I think about it, if that guy hadn’t insisted on making a bet, the weapon wouldn’t have been taken away. ‘What is this?!’

‘Song Ji-hoon is a mixed breed dog! Because of this guy, I kill my white spirit spear!’

Seo Jin-hwan and Kang Hoon began to blame Song Ji-hoon, not Baek Woo-jin. They lamented that they had forgotten that they also participated in the bet and asked why they made this situation by betting.

-and! You are so crazy! Are you having trouble in the meantime?

‘Do you think it went well?’

-Look at those guys’ eyes. The fever has spread strongly. I think I blame that guy named Song Ji-hoon more than you. You really…

‘I’m glad it worked.’

I threw it once because I wanted to separate those three, but it seemed to work surprisingly well. Baek Woo-jin grinned and snapped his fingers again.

bang!

Song Ji-hoon pulled out his sword and smashed it into the ground, throwing the sword house underneath.

“…Take it.”

“I accept it gratefully.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his head to the side and smiled.

“Shit!”

“Ah-oh!”

Seo Jin-hwan held out his sword with its scabbard still in place, and Kang Hoon also plunged his spear into the ground.

“You will regret what happened today.”

Song Ji-hoon spat out the words as if chewing each and every word.

“I heard a lot that I would regret it, but I have never actually regretted it.”

“Huh…”

“If it’s a bet like this, I’ll welcome it next time. First of all, thank you for the weapon.”

I waved goodbye to Song Ji-hoon.

Phudduddduk.

Song Ji-hoon gritted his teeth so that people could hear him and then walked away. A dark life trembled behind him.

“let’s go.”

“Wook….”

Seo Jin-hwan and Kang Hoon also disappeared in different directions, leading their party members and escorts.

-I’ve lived for hundreds of years, but you’re the best at messing with other people’s temper. I’m all pissed!

‘That’s not something you’ll attack again later. At that time, I will challenge myself with better items.’

-Have you already thought that far?

‘It’s a kind of fish farm. Next time, I’d like it to be accessories or armor.’

-Crazy guy…

The aura of darkness widened. I was shocked to hear the word fish farm. The more I look at the structure of that guy’s head, the more shocking it gets.

“Fortunately, the. “I was wondering what would happen if you really held an auction.”

Moon Joo-young sighed in relief and picked up the unique weapons on the floor.

“I’m going to do it.”

“Yes?”

“If we do it here, who will buy it? I can’t even raise my hand because I’m worried about those guys. “I’m going to put all three of them on the black market.”

“Huh!”

Moon Joo-young swallowed dry saliva and took a step back. When I heard in passing that there was an auction, I thought it was just a joke. But Baek Woo-jin’s expression was serious. It meant sincerity.

“Are you putting those weapons up for auction?”

Moon Ju-young was not the only one surprised by Baek Woo-jin’s words. Red Yeonhwa, who was approaching, also screamed in surprise.

“I’m not even going to make soup with these weapons, so what’s the use of leaving them around? “I have to take it and sell it.”

The grades and abilities of these weapons are good, but they do not suit me. Selling it to buy elixirs or necessary items is a much better use.

“I might have a falling out with those guilds.”

“It’s already gone astray. “As you know, there is no one close to my family.”

“Ah…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa couldn’t respond to Baek Woo-jin’s words. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a guild that was close to the maverick Shingeombaekga.

“I have nothing to say on that part. But how did you catch the boss? “You were definitely the last to move.”

“That’s a secret.”

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa covered her mouth. Every piece of information in the new dungeon is worth money. It was not something worth asking lightly.

“Why are you taking this so seriously? “This was a big help.”

Baek Woo-jin took out a smoke ball and showed it to Jeok Yeon-hwa.

“uh? “Did you use the smoke balls?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa also saw a thread of smoke beads in the dungeon, but thought it was the equipment of another ability who came to inspect the dungeon. I really never imagined that Baek Woo-jin would use smoke beads.

“How can you prepare like this….”

“This is a new dungeon, so you don’t know what will happen, so of course you have to prepare, right? “I think it’s more surprising that you came here with your bare body?”

“That…”

Jeok Yeon-hwa lowered her head. I know that Baek Woo-jin is stronger than me. But I never thought I would have this kind of preparedness. My face became hot because I was embarrassed.

“Was that bead Baek Woo-jin’s? “That guy is really no joke.”

“It’s amazing that he brought a bodyguard and defeated the Phoenix, the hero of Gwangdomun, but that he even had that level of preparation.”

“That’s right. It’s not just about being strong. “It’s different from the direct descendants of other hundred families.”

“That’s what has been revealed since the last multi-level guild.”

The onlookers around the dungeon listened to the conversation between Baek Woo-jin and Jeok Yeon-hwa, and their favorability for Baek Woo-jin increased even more.

-Everyone is playing a trick on you. Have fun.

**

As soon as Baek Woo-jin returned to Shingeombaekga, he was called to Gajujeon. He opened the door to the family hall with familiar steps.

“I have returned after completing the mission given to me by the matriarch.”

Baek Woo-jin looked up at Baek Cheon-hwa’s emotionless eyes and reported everything that had happened in the dungeon.

“What were you thinking when you took those tools?”

“I thought that since it was a new dungeon, I should definitely bring a smoke orb. “Monsters that use magic often appear in dungeons of level 3 or higher, so I brought a level 4 anti-magic combat uniform.”

“It’s not bad.”

Baek Chun-hwa nodded heavily. I thought they would have simply destroyed it with force, but I liked how they made various preparations.

“What should I do with the weapons I received? “These weapons probably aren’t suitable for you.”

“I’m planning to sell it to auction.”

“what?”

Baek Cheon-hwa was startled, lifted his chin, and thrust his head forward. I thought I heard wrong.

“We are planning to auction it off on the black market.”

“Kkkkk hahahaha!”

Baek Cheon-hwa struck down his hand hanger and burst into laughter. I naturally burst out laughing at an answer I had never even thought of.

“Tsk tsk, yes. Why are you putting it up for auction?”

“I have no use for swords and spears. The sword also has a different shape from the sword I use, so I don’t need it. Since these items were expensive, I thought it would be better to sell them and buy the items I need.”

“Do you mind that the people who took that weapon from you will have even more negative feelings towards you?”

“I never lose to an opponent I’ve beaten once. “I’ll get something better next time.”

It wasn’t just a remark made for flattery. This was a promise to myself in front of Baek Cheon-hwa. A promise not to be defeated.

“Khahahaha!”

Baek Cheon-hwa shook his head and burst into laughter that made the family head cry. The uncontrolled aura bloomed to the point that the pillars of the House of Lords were shaking.

“I really like the saying that you will never lose to someone who has won once.”

Baek Cheon-hwa’s voice rose a notch as if she really liked Baek Woo-jin’s answer.

“Matriarch.”

Baek Woo-jin checked Baek Cheon-hwa’s condition and calmly opened his mouth. Now that his mood was heightened, it was an opportunity to speak up.

“Did I have a good time playing on the board the head of the family made?”

“okay. You did a better job than I expected. “You have clearly shown that the Baek family is above them, just as you declared.”

Baek Woo-jin felt his heart throbbing at Baek Cheon-hwa’s praise.

“The unfortunate thing is that those two guilds didn’t participate, but you can think of them as running away because they were scared.”

Baek Cheon-hwa was talking about the other two guilds among the four major guilds, excluding the Powerful Jeokga.

“Then can you do me a favor?”

It may have crossed a line, but he was confident that Baek Cheon-hwa would grant his request.

“Tell me once.”

“I want to have a sword.”

“Geomgak?”

The Geomgak is a private training hall of the Baek Family and can only be held by those who are level 5 or higher in direct lineage or in the position of head of an armed force group.

Although it is a private training hall, it is much larger than a regular training hall and has a lot of equipment and facilities, making it the best place to develop a swordsman.

-Why the sudden search?

‘Geomgak is full right now.’

-But why are you asking for it?

‘You’ll know when you hear it.’

Baek Woo-jin proudly straightened his shoulders and looked at Baek Cheon-hwa.

“Currently, all search stations are full. “There is no empty space.”

“Isn’t there one spot missing?”

“her!”

An interesting smile appeared on Baek Tian-hwa’s lips.

“Are you trying to take what belongs to Suna?”

“That’s right. Because that’s where the fight started anyway. “I want to take it away while I can.”

-Now you’re starting a fight.

The sword is a sign of recognized lineage, and losing it is nothing short of humiliating. Baek Woo-jin was acting in a direct challenge to Baek Sun-ah.

“You did a great job and I like your confidence. good night. From now on, the Seventh Sword is yours.”

“thank you.”

After Baek Woo-jin bowed, he went to the family battle. Baek Cheon-hwa watched the scene and smiled like a crescent moon.

“It will be more fun.”

**

“Huh?”

When Baek Woo-jin, who had left Gajujeon, was about to enter Baekwijeon, a woman he had not seen in a long time was standing at the entrance.

-That’s your crazy sister who swung a knife as soon as she saw your Auror, right? Was it Baek Eun-kyung?

‘that’s right. ‘It’s already been 6 months’

The person standing in front of Baek Yu-jeon was Baek Woo-jin’s second older sister, Baek Eun-kyung. She returned after completing six months of isolation.

-Why don’t you run away before they start throwing knives again? There is no one here to protect you.

‘Noisy.’

Baek Woo-jin pretended not to see and tried to pass by, but Baek Eun-kyung blocked his path.

“You seem busy these days.”

“If you want to survive in this family, you have to live a busy life.”

“It’s a horse with bones.”

“Because I was almost killed by someone during the apparition ceremony.”

“Huh…”

Baek Eun-kyung let out a heavy sigh and looked at Baek Woo-jin.

“I’m sorry I swung the sword without looking at it properly.”

“Um…”

I wasn’t sure, but it felt like Baek Eun-kyung was sincerely apologizing. This was my first experience like this, so I couldn’t think of what to say.

“I was mistaken…”

Baek Eun-kyung, who was approaching Baek Woo-jin, tilted her head. Her quiet eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.

‘what!’

Baek Eun-kyung felt Baek Woo-jin’s changed powerlessness and froze. The first rumor I heard after the wall was that Baek Woo-jin had become stronger, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

I thought it was okay for a guy who just learned Auror to become stronger. But now Baek Woo-jin has gone far beyond her imagination.

“What on earth did you do?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Even the body and Auror power have taken on a different level. “This kind of growth in such a short period of time…”

Baek Woo-jin achieved incredibly rapid growth even if it only took two years, not six months. No matter how genius he was, this was too fast.

“I heard you’ve been busy.”

“Ah…”

Baek Eun-kyung was not interested in her younger siblings except for Baek Sung-hyeon and Baek So-hee. He thought that no matter how much they grew, they would never be able to follow him or help him in that matter.

But today, after seeing Baek Woo-jin, my thoughts changed.

‘This kid is different from other kids. If it continues to grow like this, it will definitely happen…

“Baek Eun-kyung felt her heart pounding with excitement.

I thought that if Baek Woo-jin maintained his current growth rate, his strength would one day match mine and he might reach ‘there’. If that happens…

“I will never forget the moment my sister threw the knife, but I will accept your apology first.”

Baek Woo-jin passed Baek Eun-kyung, who was looking at him blankly, and went inside.

“Baek Woo-jin.”

Baek Woo-jin turned around at the sound of Baek Eun-kyung’s voice. He caught something blue flying towards him with his hand.

“It will be helpful to wear it when training.”

“ok?”

Baek Woo-jin opened his hand. The object Baek Eun-kyung threw was a necklace with a blue gem.

“Suddenly something… isn’t there?”

Baek Eun-kyung threw the necklace and immediately disappeared. I couldn’t understand why someone would give something away so coolly and then disappear.

“Darkness. Appraise this. “He must have been cursed.”

-No way…

“You saw it too. There is no proper person in this family.”

-I think you’re the craziest one, don’t you?

“hurry!”

-Ugh, I understand.

Five seconds later, the information on the necklace appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin.

-Uni…

“Unique?”
