Chapter 83
Episode 83 Lead Blade (3)
– You finally get to tell others what you think.
‘okay. It was quite long.’
For the first time since returning, I was able to share my thoughts with many people.
I felt proud that my efforts so far had not been in vain.
-But it’s surprising that your father stays still.
As the darkness said, Baek Cheon-hwa did not react to Baek Woo-jin’s words.
Instead, he was smiling slightly.
‘When we met before, we laid the groundwork in advance.’
-You said you saved people with intention?
‘okay. ‘My father will think I’m acting.’
Since he explained everything to Baek Tian-hwa when he met him before, he will overlook whatever he says.
“Let Kang Jae-wook come out.”
At the words of the administrative prosecutor department facilitator, the prosecutor who was standing at the end came forward.
“Please take care of me!”
Kang Jae-wook greeted politely and then opened his auror.
He must have trained hard, so the rising aura was quite neat.
-It’s not particularly special.
‘Because it’s not in order of grades. That guy is just in the middle.’
Kang Jae-wook maintained his aura and vigorously displayed the swordsmanship he had learned.
“Tell me which sword belt you want.”
“I want to join the Cheokgeomdae. “I want to grow myself through endless battles!”
At Jaewook Kang’s words, a smile appeared on the lips of Kim Hyungwoon, the Great Swordsman.
“If you wish to accept Kang Jae-wook, please raise your hand.”
No one raised their hand, only Kim Hyung-woon did.
“thank you!”
Kang Jae-wook bowed first to Baek Cheon-hwa and then to Kim Hyeong-un.
“Congratulations!”
“Junior. “Come prepared!”
Other prosecutors also clapped and congratulated him.
“Next Kim Woohyuk.”
“yes!”
When Kim Woo-hyuk appeared, the atmosphere on the podium changed.
Since he was the second-ranking member of the Jegeomgak, everyone was targeting him.
“My name is Kim Woo-hyuk!”
Kim Woo-hyuk introduced himself in a much louder voice than Kang Jae-wook and opened up his Auror.
-Isn’t that the guy you saved?
‘that’s right.’
-They’re just looking at you to get picked.
As the darkness said, Kim Woo-hyuk maintained his aura and was only looking at Baek Woo-jin.
Kim Woo-hyuk pulled out his sword and displayed the swordsmanship he had learned.
Because he was at the top, he showed much cleaner swordsmanship than Kang Jae-wook.
“Tell me which sword belt you want.”
“It’s a medical school! “I want to follow Master Baek Woo-jin’s will!”
Kim Woo-hyuk took a deep breath and shouted so loudly that the gym rang.
“Tsk.”
“As expected…”
Because Kim Woo-hyuk was only thinking about the medical school, Baek Seon-ana, Baek So-hee, and Baek Ho-jung, who were targeting him, frowned.
“If you wish to accept Kim Woo-hyuk, please raise your hand.”
Other direct officials raised their hands, hoping that Baek Woo-jin would not come forward.
“Of course I should catch it.”
But Baek Woo-jin shattered their expectations and raised his hand.
“Now it’s your turn. “Choose.”
“Of course it’s a medical school! “I will follow you for the rest of my life!”
Kim Woo-hyuk bowed to Baek Cheon-hwa and Baek Woo-jin on the spot.
At that sight, Baek Woo-jin’s smile grew darker and the other immediate staff looked like they had chewed shit.
* * *
The inspection meeting progressed quickly, and before we knew it, only 30 prosecutors remained.
Perhaps because of pre-emptive efforts, prosecutors in the middle and upper ranks were taken equally by Baek Sun-ah, Baek So-hee, Baek Seong-hyun and various armed forces groups, while many prosecutors in the lower ranks went to Baek Ho-jung.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, prosecutors who were at the top often wanted to go to medical school.
“Next is Kim Kwang-hee.”
“yes!”
A prosecutor with a good-looking appearance came forward.
Kim Gwang-hee had a graduation grade of 12th, and showed swordsmanship skills that were comparable to those of the top swordsmen.
-It is said that his swordsmanship is not bad and he has a good personality.
‘I see.’
In the document containing the prosecutors’ information, it was stated that Kim Kwang-hee was very well-known and was close to many prosecutors.
“I was greatly moved by Master Baek Woo-jin’s will. “I want to enter medical school.”
Gwanghee Kim, who showed off all his skills, shouted out the name of the medical school.
Baek Woo-jin was smiling while looking at Kim Kwang-hee.
‘You got caught.’
When Baek Seon-ah saw that, a cold smile appeared on her lips.
Kim Gwang-hee was a prosecutor she had recruited in advance to obtain information about Baek Woo-jin.
“If you want Kim Kwang-hee, please raise your hand!”
Because Kim Kwang-hee had good skills and reputation, Baek Sun-ah naturally thought that Baek Woo-jin would raise his hand.
“uh?”
“hmm?”
But Baek Woo-jin sat quietly without lifting a finger.
‘How did this happen!’
Baek Seon-ah screamed inside.
Baek Woo-jin has so far accepted all prosecutors who want to join the medical school.
I couldn’t figure out why he rejected Kim Gwang-hee even though he was a lower-ranking prosecutor.
“Ugh….”
Baek Seon-ah gritted her teeth and raised her hand.
This is because it was better to bring Kim Gwang-hee to oneself rather than losing him to someone else.
“Kim Gwang-hee now belongs to Agumdae.”
“Thank you!”
Kim Gwang-hee also had a mesmerized expression on his face, as if he didn’t know that Baek Woo-jin would reject him.
‘That damn guy is really helpful… Wow!’
The moment Baek Seon-ah glared at Baek Woo-jin, Baek Woo-jin was also looking at her.
‘That bastard…’
Baek Seon-ah, who made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin, felt goosebumps rising all over her back.
The guy’s eyes were perfectly still, as if they were penetrating everything about him.
– Madwoman No. 3 has an expression like that of a 8-year-old.
Heukam chuckled while looking at Baek Seon-ah’s embarrassed expression.
‘Because my hard preparation was in vain.’
Baek Woo-jin knew in advance that Kim Gwang-hee was Baek Sun-ah’s third work.
-That guy did a good job.
‘okay.’
Baek Woo-jin pre-determined the prosecutors to be filtered based on his memories of his past life and the information he received from Hong Nam-gi.
-Are the other two you saw also part of the three works prepared by your brother?
‘that’s right. Baek So-hee and Baek Ho-joong are the ones prepared.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled at his brothers.
The lead examination was proceeding as he had expected.
* * *
Baek So-hee, Baek Seon-ah, and Baek Ho, three of them, had their faces crushed like crumpled tin cans even though they had accepted many tests.
-Just looking at their expressions makes me feel good.
Heukam was bursting into joyful laughter as he looked at the expressions of his direct relatives.
‘They’re idiots.’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled.
He completely destroyed the plans of the three people who tried to put Sejak on him.
They had no choice but to accept the three pieces they had worked so hard to prepare with embarrassed expressions on their sword belts.
“To Hong Nam-ki.”
“yes!”
Hong Nam-gi, the top graduate of Jegeomgak, came forward.
“This is Hong Nam-gi. i look forward to!”
Hong Nam-gi bowed vigorously and then pulled out an Auror.
Because he was a senior, his auror skills and swordsmanship were at a higher level than anyone else’s.
-Was that guy the chief?
‘okay.’
-He was definitely better than the others. Skills or mental strength.
Hong Nam-ki had such outstanding talent that even darkness acknowledged it.
“What sword belt do you want?”
“It’s a medical school! “I want to fight for Master Baek Woo-jin!”
“If you wish to accept Hong Nam-gi, please raise your hand.”
Everyone, including Baek Woo-jin, raised their hands because he had good military power, character, and mentality, and had experience leading prosecutors.
“Hong Nam-gi. It’s your turn. “Choose.”
“It’s a medical school.”
“Waaah!”
The prosecutors clapped and cheered at Hong Nam-ki’s decisive choice.
“Both the chief and second-chairmen were taken by the youngest master. congratulations.”
“I wanted to take that guy with me, but it’s a shame.”
The leaders of the armed forces laughed as if they were regretful, but Baek So-hee and Baek Seon-ah were glaring at Baek Woo-jin as if they were dying.
“thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin lowered his hand with a winning smile.
“Even Hong Nam-gi chose Master Baek Woo-jin.”
“Actually, I thought Hong Nam-ki and Kim Woo-hyuk would definitely go.”
“That’s right, but if this happens, 5 out of the top 10 people went to Master Baek Woo-jin. “Has there ever been a time when one swordsman monopolized the top rankings like this?”
The prosecutors looked at Baek Woo-jin with surprised eyes, thinking of the prosecutors Baek Woo-jin had taken.
Five of the top 10 were scattered here and there, but the remaining five all entered Baek Woo-jin’s medical swords team.
Baek Woo-jin almost monopolized outstanding talent.
“The last Kim Min-hwan. from now on.”
Perhaps because he was happy that it was the last time, the host’s voice became particularly loud.
“yes!”
The sturdy swordsman stepped forward, trembling slightly.
-Being first and then last. That’s the last one there. That’s sad.
As Heukam said, Minhwan Kim had the lowest grades among the graduates. I had barely graduated with pull-ups.
-There’s definitely a difference… huh?
The darkness that was looking at Kim Min-hwan was startled and came to Baek Woo-jin’s side.
– Baek Woo-jin. That guy…
‘He’s talented, right?’
-Did you know?
‘No, I didn’t know either. ‘I recognized it when I saw his face up close.’
Baek Woo-jin stuck his head out and looked closely at Kim Min-hwan’s face.
-That guy is a vessel of great chronicity. Even if you try hard now, your level is low, but soon you will quickly overtake the others. Grab it no matter what.
‘In my past life, Kim Min-hwan was the guy my father took to the Black Swordsman.’
-what?
‘I don’t know exactly what happened. ‘Because I wasn’t here in my past life.’
Baek Woo-jin continued as he watched Kim Min-hwan clumsily displaying his Aura.
‘But since Kim Min-hwan joined the Black Swordsman, he has grown rapidly as if he gained wings.’
Soon, Kim Min-hwan developed skills that surpassed even Hong Nam-ki and Kim Woo-hyuk.
“How did you graduate from Jejeomgak with such skills?”
“Could it be the son of the head of the Imperial Sword?”
Baek Ho-jung and Baek Seon-ah snorted while looking at Kim Min-hwan’s clumsy swordsmanship.
Since I accepted many tests, I had no intention of taking such a low-level guy.
“Minhwan Kim. “Which sword club do you want to go to?”
“It doesn’t matter where I am, as long as you accept me! “It’s not enough right now, but I’ll keep up with my best efforts!”
Minhwan Kim shouted, clenching his fists.
“If you want Kim Min-hwan, please raise your hand!”
No one raised their hand.
Sometimes this happens when a graduate does not meet expectations.
They think that taking him with them will not be of much help and will only lower the status of the swordsman.
“Tsk.”
Baek Cheon-hwa clicked his tongue.
I felt pitiful for the children and subordinates who could not see the talent of this guy named Kim Min-hwan.
Rather than giving it to a knothole, it seemed better to leave it to the prosecutors of the Black Swordsman.
“I will take you to the medical school.”
When Baek Cheon-hwa was about to open his mouth, Baek Woo-jin raised his hand.
“Thank you!”
Kim Min-hwan repeatedly lowered his head with an expression of emotion at Baek Woo-jin’s raised hand.
“joy! “If you take a guy like that, the level of the swordsman will drop drastically.”
Baek Ho-jung twisted his mouth and mocked Baek Woo-jin.
“I finally found someone of my level.”
Baek Seon-ah also laughed at Baek Woo-jin.
“….”
Baek So-hee didn’t say anything because she had a record with Hong A-ra.
“Is that so?”
“what?”
“Let’s see who will laugh later.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled leisurely.
In time, they will regret missing a great opportunity.
“Hahaha!”
Baek Cheon-hwa seemed satisfied with that and burst out laughing.
I thought Baek Woo-jin accepted Kim Min-hwan out of pity, but that was not the case.
He was the only one other than himself who recognized Minhwan Kim’s talent.
“Matriarch?”
“father?”
Everyone’s heads turned to Baek Cheon-hwa’s sudden laughter.
“Woojin.”
Baek Cheon-hwa paid no attention to the others and gave Baek Woo-jin a look.
“yes!”
“Congratulations on getting good prosecutors. “Try to raise the last one especially well.”
At Baek Cheon-hwa’s words, the podium became as quiet as if it had frozen.
Everyone’s eyes trembled.
“thank you.”
“It’s a good thing there’s at least one guy who isn’t a knothole.”
Baek Cheon-hwa went down the podium with a satisfied smile.
“No way!”
“What the matriarch is saying is that that guy in last place has talent?”
The faces of the direct lineage and major leaders on the podium turned pale.
They know that Bai Tianhua views people without talent as trash.
The fact that Baek Cheon-hwa said something like that meant that Kim Min-hwan, who appeared last, had a special talent.
-The facial expressions have become more interesting.
‘I’ve had all the fun, so I should go.’
Baek Woo-jin gave a smile to Baek Seon-ah and Baek So-hee of Baek Ho Jung and went down the podium.
“Ah…”
The direct descendants of the Baek family were just looking at Baek Woo-jin’s back with a mesmerized expression.
However, Baek Seong-hyeon, who was furthest behind, was smiling with no clear meaning.
* * *
After a three-day break, 17 prosecutors chosen by Baek Woo-jin gathered at Chilgeomgak.
Except for Kim Min-hwan, who was selected last, all of them were prosecutors ranked in the top and upper middle ranks.
“Is this Geomgak? The facilities are crazy. “There is nothing that isn’t there!”
“I thought Jegeomgak was good, but it can’t compare to this!”
The prosecutors were amazed when they saw the training facilities at Geomgak.
“I came here because of you, but who will train us? “You said there was no instructor.”
“The master or the guard will do it for you.”
Woohyuk Kim answered.
“It would be great if you could watch the training, but aren’t you busy?”
“I heard you still have a mission….”
“Even if you are outside, you are the one who will give training instructions, so don’t worry. “He’ll be here soon, so let’s get lined up.”
Hong Nam-gi smiled and came forward.
“okay. There may be an instructor before then. Let’s think positively!”
“that’s right.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the inspection station and answered Kim Woo-hyuk’s words.
“See you, Master Tao!”
The prosecutors were shocked and simultaneously knelt down.
“We have brought you an instructor to teach you.”
A man appeared behind Baek Woo-jin.
“Ah…”
“Huh!”
The prosecutors’ mouths widened as they looked up at the instructor’s face.
