Episode 7. Auror Practice (2)
“Ah, father….”
Baek Myung-hoon received Baek Cheon-hwa’s call and was summoned to the Gajujeon. He lowered his head, but couldn’t hide the bruises on his face.
“What is that like?”
“Ugh…”
A voice that was so cold that it seemed to freeze my body came out of Baek Cheon-hwa’s mouth. Baek Myung-hun’s body trembled when he heard that voice.
“That…”
“I asked what it was.”
Baek Myung-hoon gritted his teeth. The fact that his father called him here means he already knows what happened. There is nothing within this family that can fool him.
“It’s a wound from Woojin. I let my guard down. If I fight properly, I can definitely win….”
“I let my guard down after being knocked unconscious by being beaten by the youngest who couldn’t even unlock mana? “Is that the sound coming out of your mouth just now?”
“I’m sorry! “I…”
Baek Myung-hoon knelt down and hit his head without hesitation. Blood flowed from his forehead.
‘Damn it…’
Baek Myung-hoon’s mind was full of confusion. Since he was the one who started the fight first and the one who fainted after being hit, I honestly had nothing to say.
If it weren’t for the pain I felt throughout my body, I would have thought I was dreaming.
“So what are you doing now?”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
“I asked my younger brother what he was doing after being beaten so hard that he fainted.”
“That information…”
“Information? You said you let your guard down, but do you need information to beat your younger brother? “Can you please lend me a white podium?”
Baek Myung-hoon thought that such a move was possible because Baek Woo-jin received something from Baek Seong-hyeon.
He wasn’t planning on moving until he got that information, but seeing Baek Cheon-hwa’s reaction made him feel like he was going to die if he stayed still.
“no. “Let’s get revenge on that guy right now…”
“That’s it. “Go away.”
Baek Myung-hoon raised his head and looked at Baek Cheon-hwa’s expression. His face was full of blatant disappointment and regret.
“Ah, father.”
“I told you to go.”
“Ah…”
Baek Myung-hoon couldn’t say anything, just looked at the ground and was kicked out. As he opened the door, the murderous spirit toward Baek Woo-jin was blooming in his eyes.
“house owner.”
As soon as Baek Myung-hun went outside, a middle-aged man who looked similar to Baek Cheon-hwa appeared from behind the pillar on the right. This is Baek Cheon-woong, the head of the Baek family and the younger brother of Baek Cheon-hwa.
“You guys will have a lot of fun fighting each other.”
“Didn’t you and I do the same? “We fought countless times.”
“Me and Gaju were the eldest and third children, but aren’t those children the youngest and seventh? “These are children who have no meaning in competing for head of the household.”
“Is that so?”
“Surely you can go? Are you planning on having those kids compete to be the head of the house too?”
Baek Cheon-hwa looked up at the ceiling of Gajujeon and smiled quietly.
“well.”
**
-Hey, Prophet Baek Woo-jin.
“why?”
-Your idiot brother. Are you still down there these days?
Baek Woo-jin, who heard Dark’s words, walked to the window and slightly lifted the curtain. Below, Myung-Hoon Baek was looking at his room with a blatant expression of murder.
-He said he wouldn’t come right away.
“Hmm…”
I know Baek Myung-hoon’s personality better than anyone else. He probably thinks that he has become stronger by receiving something from his third brother.
I won’t come forward until I know what it is, so it’s strange that it’s already come.
“Is that what happened?…”
When I thought about who was currently in the family, I was able to guess why Baek Myung-hun was doing that.
-Prophet. Can you at least give me an excuse?
“My father must have done something.”
-Your father?
“okay. “Otherwise, there’s no way that coward would move.”
-Hoo…
Darkness stood next to Baek Woo-jin and looked down at Baek Myung-hoon as if he was interested.
“Even in his past life, my father often provoked his brothers into fights. “If it were his personality, he would definitely have called Baek Myung-hun and said something.”
– Well, since he was beaten by his younger brother,
“That’s true, but I would have asked him why he stayed quiet after getting hit by his younger brother.”
-Ha, as expected, your family is far from ordinary.
“To agree.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and closed the curtain again.
-So what are we going to do?
“How should I train?”
-Can I leave it like that?
“If you wanted to come in, you would have come sooner. You can’t come in here. “You and I just have to worry about training.”
Because it was just before he became an Auror, Baek Woo-jin had no interest in what Baek Myung-hoon did. It is much more advantageous to become stronger when you have time to worry about him.
-You have a good attitude.
“It’s always like that for me.”
Baek Woo-jin sat cross-legged in the center of the room. It’s already been 12 days since I practiced the Auror technique I learned from Heukam, but I still haven’t been able to deposit mana into my Danjeon.
I was almost there, but I kept falling one step short.
-Still, the time that mana stays in the Danjeon has been getting longer for the past few days. We will be able to have it fully established soon.
“Then there’s nothing left to wish for.”
Baek Woo-jin closed his eyes and began breathing according to the Auror exercise he had learned from Heukam.
Whoops.
With the natural breathing in and out, the mana flowing in the air began to accumulate in the dantian.
Mana struggled to return to nature, but the Danjeon was rotating in a circle due to the power of the Auror Practice.
‘Not yet yet.’
I didn’t let up because I had always failed in this situation over the past few days. But I wasn’t nervous either. I relaxed my body and mind very naturally, like when I felt mana.
His spirit, which was created thanks to the hardships he experienced in his previous life, was neither relaxed nor impatient and was well centered.
Just like keeping a thread neither taut nor loose, mana and spirit were balanced.
Ugh.
As soon as I created a path for the mana to flow without suppressing it, the mana began to come together little by little. It felt like water vapor was turning into water droplets.
‘This feeling…’
It feels like all the pores on my body have been opened. It felt like there were holes all over my body and the air was flowing through.
The grains of mana dissolved in nature felt more sensitive, and I could see that they had completely taken root in the Danjeon.
Ding!
Baek Woo-jin opened his eyes after hearing a clear notification sound.
[You have acquired Cain’s Auror practice method that can lead to the universal sword.] [
Cain’s Auror practice method is registered.]
[The title ‘One who walks the path of the Ten Thousand Swords.’ has been acquired.]
[Title’ All abilities increase by 1 due to the effect of ‘A person who walks the path of ten thousand swords.’]
[The effects of the acquired title are applied multiple times.]
In Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, a hologram window showing that he had acquired the practice method appeared. The fact that this window appears means that you have definitely learned the Auror technique.
“Darkness! it’s okay! “I learned the exercises!”
-…
“I can feel mana the size of millet from the Danjeon!”
I was so excited that I jumped around and talked, but the darkness didn’t say anything. I was just staring blankly into space.
“Darkness?”
-uh? uh! Well done.
The voice of darkness trembled mercilessly.
‘What on earth is this guy?’
Heukam set the period for Baek Woo-jin to learn the Auror method to be about 20 to 30 days. Because he had manipulated mana in his past life, he was able to master this very quickly, but this guy created an aura in only 12 days.
In addition, the Auror practice method that he taught was the most difficult practice method among the practice methods. I couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘No matter how high his mental power is, this guy is a bit mean. Is it because he regressed…’
I was always surprised by Baek Woo-jin’s growth, but I never thought he would create an Auror today. I was so dumbfounded that I couldn’t speak for a while.
“Seeing as your voice is shaking, does it seem like you’re admiring me again?”
-That’s not it…
“That kind of embarrassed look really suits you.”
-Ugh…
“Then let’s get the quest reward.”
[You have completed the quest < Walking your own path. >]
[Calculate the reward for the quest < Walking your own path. >] [
400 reward points are given.]
[100 points due to the effect of the darkness being astonished. Additional payment is made.]
“Status window.”

“Thank you for giving me 100 points because I was shocked again. “Surprise me often.”
– Poetry is noisy!
“But darkness.”
-What is it?
“Cain’s Auror training method, title, and what is Mangeom?”
-Mangeom… is the sword that dominates all swords.
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
-I can only explain it like this for now. As you walk the path of a prosecutor, you will begin to understand little by little.
It felt like he was trying to gloss over the situation because he couldn’t explain it, but it felt good, so I decided to just ignore it.
[The second reward of the quest < Walking my own path. > Unlocking a special aura (random) is provided.]
100 cards appeared behind the newly appeared hologram window.
“This card…”
– As you might have guessed since it was written randomly, it is the same as an unexpected reward.
“Are you saying that selecting a card determines the Auror’s characteristics?”
-right.
“Hmm…”
– As you know, each person’s Auror properties are different. Red auras have strong attack power or fire properties, and blue auras have strong maintenance power or water properties.
“okay. Know.”
The attributes of the auror were so important to Muin that he could not have known about them.
“We also have special ceremonies in our family.”
-Consciousness?
“okay. When an Auror is created, the direct descendants of the family are gathered together and a ceremony called the ‘Apparition Ceremony’ is held. “It is an event to understand the color and quality of Aurors.”
-You’re doing everything you can.
“Because this is a sword house.”
Baek Woo-jin in his previous life also had an apparition ceremony at the age of 25. At that time, his aura was a transparent aura without any special effects. It is the most common and weakest auror.
“Anyway, giving an Auror a trait is a huge reward.”
-What are you misunderstanding? Didn’t you say it was random?
“So you’re saying there’s a hit?”
-It’s not that there are bads, but most of them are bad. Out of those 100 shots, 70 to 80 will be crap.
“Hmm, I get it for free anyway, so it doesn’t matter what it comes in.”
-Anyway, one mental thing…
Baek Woo-jin chose the middle card that appealed to him the most among the 100 cards.
Paaaat!
The card he chose emitted light.
**
‘Damn it…’
Baek Myung-hoon chewed his lips and glared at Baek Woo-jin, who was standing in the middle of the family battle.
‘How did that scum open up Aurors?’
Baek Myung-hoon, who was targeting Baek Woo-jin, received a call to come to the Gaju match. I was worried that I would be scolded by Baek Cheon-hwa again, but that wasn’t the case. It was a call to come to the apparition ceremony.
Among the direct descendants of the Baek family, there is only one person who has not had an apparition ceremony, Baek Woo-jin. That damned bastard had already created an Auror.
“That bastard is really…”
Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with Baek Myung-hoon and smiled. Baek Myung-hun, who thought he was making fun of himself, had blood on his face.
-You can clearly see what that idiot is thinking. As a prosecutor, you have to hide your emotions to some extent, but it’s so simple that it’s frustrating.
‘He grew up thinking he was the best. ‘I’ll have to step on it properly sooner or later.’
Baek Woo-jin laughed again at Baek Myung-hoon, who had a murderous expression on his face, and looked at the others.
My father had an expressionless expression, and my third brother, Baek Seong-hyeon, had an incredibly embarrassed expression. The other brothers didn’t seem to be very interested.
But they will all be surprised to see their Auras at the apparition ceremony.
“Woojin, start.”
“All right.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed deeply to Baek Cheon-hwa and then placed his right hand on the transparent bead in front of him.
“Now operate the Aurors.”
“yes.”
As Baek Woo-jin used the auror positioned in the Danjeon, the orb trembled.
Buuuung.
The beads that sparkled in various colors like a rainbow absorbed all the light and created only one light.
