Episode 5. Darkness (4)
The next day, Baek Woo-jin finished his morning training and entered Baekwijeon.
-This is the first place I come to. What are you doing here?
“This is the building where the direct descendants of the Baek family live. “It’s called a battle of hundred.”
-You are also a direct descendant. Why are you living in a stable or something instead of here?
“You look at someone else’s house and it’s a stable. That’s harsh! I haven’t unlocked mana yet. “I live there.”
-Are you saying that even that is discriminatory? It’s dirty.
Baek Woo-jin also nodded because he was thinking the same thing as Heuk-am.
“I was 23 when I opened my mana in my past life. It was too late to even move in here. “I continued to live there.”
-23 years old? It’s too late at least.
“okay. It’s later than that of an ordinary person with abilities.
-When did your brothers open up?
“The early one was probably 8 years old, and the late one was around 14 years old.”
-That’s amazing.
“yes. “They are my brothers, but they are incredibly talented.”
The people who said darkness was great were not Baek Woo-jin’s brothers. He said that Baek Woo-jin was amazing because he continued to work hard and became a first-class prosecutor despite having a serious difference in ability with his brothers.
-So why did you come here?
“My brother called me.”
-Didn’t you say you don’t have a good relationship with your brother? You haven’t seen anyone for a month.
“Everyone is not good except the third brother. “My third brother just finished his mission with my father.”
Baek Woo-jin walked lightly and stood in front of the only door on the third floor.
Ding dong!
When I pressed the doorbell next to the door, the door opened automatically. Baek Woo-jin entered through the open door.
-This is not the room. Why is it so wide!
“Rather than a room, this one floor is a house. Seonghyeon hyung is using the third floor alone.”
Baekwijeon has up to 9 floors, and each floor is used by one direct descendant. There are eight direct descendants of the Baek family, so two floors are currently empty.
“I’m here?”
A young man with red pomaded hair greeted Baek Woo-jin with a bright smile. This man is Baek Sung-hyeon, the third member of the Baek family.
“brother!”
Baek Sung-hyun is currently 26 years old, so he is older than Baek Woo-jin before his return. There was no awkwardness at all in calling him brother.
“Have you been training hard so far?”
“I said my body was really broken. “I almost died.”
“haha! okay?”
Even though Baek Seong-hyeon spent more time outside performing missions than at home, he was watching Baek Woo-jin’s training whenever he was at home.
Baek Woo-jin’s help in becoming a first-class prosecutor in his past life was greatly aided by Baek Seong-hyeon.
“Then, shall we take a look at how big our youngest has grown?”
Baek Seong-hyeon held Baek Woo-jin’s hand and poured his mana into it to examine his body.
‘It’s a little bit, but the amount of mana inside the body has increased.’
Baek Woo-jin must have really worked hard as he said, so the amount of mana in his body increased.
‘It may be much later than other people, but I guess I’ll be able to feel mana around age 20…huh?’
When Baek Seong-hyeon tried to take his hands off Baek Woo-jin’s body, he could feel that his mana had changed much more significantly.
‘what. ‘How can muscles grow so fast?’
Compared to when I saw him two months ago, Baek Woo-jin’s muscle mass has increased significantly. Baek Seong-hyeon thought he was wrong and checked several more times, but the result was the same.
Baek Woo-jin’s body had grown to an extent that was difficult to understand in a short period of time.
“Nonsense!”
Baek Seong-hyeon patted Baek Woo-jin’s body with confused eyes. Not only did he have a well-trained body, but he also seemed to be quite tall.
“Woojin, what on earth did you do…”
“Huh?”
“How did you build this body in two months? Even if I couldn’t do it, it would have taken half a year…”
Since half a year was a direct descendant of the Baek family, it was shortened. For someone with average ability, even 2 years would not be enough.
“During that time, I didn’t pick up a sword even once and only trained my body.”
“For two months?”
“huh.”
In reality, it was one month, but Baek Seong-hyeon looked so shocked that Baek Woo-jin lied and said it was two months. No matter how close we were, we couldn’t talk about darkness and quests.
“You have this talent. I was really surprised.”
“Is that so?”
“The mana in your body has also increased. “If you practice consistently, you will be able to feel mana within a few years.”
In his previous life, Baek Woo-jin heard those words from Baek Seong-hyun when he was 19, but this time he heard them at 15. That’s almost 4 years ahead.
Plus, since I felt mana in my past life, it won’t be that difficult to feel mana again.
“I don’t have anything to say. Make sure you continue with the training you are doing now. “I think it suits you well.”
Baek Seong-hyeon is a genius who qualified as a level 7 prosecutor in his mid-20s. If he says something like this, it means that he has made tremendous progress.
‘thanks. ‘Darkness.’
Baek Woo-jin sent a glance at the darkness floating blankly behind him. The darkness remained silent without saying anything about what it was concentrating on.
“Take this.”
Baek Seong-hyeon handed Baek Woo-jin a small black stone. Blue light was flickering inside the stone.
“What is this?”
“This is the Carmel Stone obtained during this mission. Because it is a great help when first establishing an auror. “I’ll write about it later.”
“The Stone of Carmel? “This is very expensive!”
“are you okay. take it.”
Even in the past life, Baek Seong-hyeon took good care of Baek Woo-jin, but he never gave him the Camel Stone. He probably gave me this stone because he saw potential in me.
I was indescribably happy because I felt like I was properly recognized by Baek Seong-hyeon.
“thank you. brother.”
“Mana training requires patience. “Don’t give up and work hard until the end.”
Baek Seong-hyeon patted Baek Woo-jin on the shoulder and smiled.
“Giving up is not in my dictionary.”
“haha! good. “I’ll go see how much you’ve improved later.”
“okay.”
Baek Woo-jin thanked Baek Seong-hyeon and left the room.
“uh?”
When I was about to leave Baekwijeon, I ran into my seventh brother, Baek Myeong-hun, at the front door.
“Why is a bug that can’t even feel mana here?”
“I came because I had work to do.”
“I really don’t like the color of your eyes since yesterday.”
Baek Woo-jin roughly answered and tried to pass by, but Baek Myung-hoon grabbed his shoulder.
“It’s been a while since I thought I’d have to teach the bug to understand the topic.”
“What…”
Baek Myung-hoon grabbed Baek Woo-jin by the collar and dragged him away.
“Are you scared now? So it shouldn’t have caught my eye. “It’s a waste.”
Baek Woo-jin was dragged away with a blank face, as if he was scared, but in reality, he was seeing something completely different.
[The unexpected quest has arrived.]
You have been bullied by your brothers your whole life. Now it’s your turn to pay back. Use all your abilities to take him down.
Condition: Defeat Baek Myung-hun.
Compensation: 300 point unexpected reward.
‘A sudden quest?’
Suddenly, a window called an unexpected quest appeared, telling me to defeat Baek Myung-hun.
‘300 points is big. But…’
Baek Myung-hoon is only two years older than Baek Woo-jin, but he is a level 2 swordsman who unlocked mana a long time ago. No matter how much your stamina and physical abilities have improved, you cannot face them head-on.
-Sudden quests literally appear unexpectedly. To be honest, the reward is not small compared to the work done.
‘that’s right.’
300 points is the same reward as the quest Baek Woo-jin cleared after training for a month. You must never miss it.
-Think about it carefully. you made a comeback There must be information about that guy named Baek Myung-hoon. Aim for it.
‘Hmm…’
What Darkness said was right. Baek Myung-hoon had a habit of hitting himself. Instead of hitting the face, always hit places that are not noticeable, such as the abdomen or thighs.
I had to aim for it.
thud!
“Ugh!”
While Baek Woo-jin was simulating in his head, Baek Myung-hoon arrived at the back of the building and threw him against the wall.
“I’ve been letting you off a bit too much, haven’t I?”
“Wow!”
“You have to step on bugs sometimes!”
Baek Myung-hoon threw a punch and aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s abdomen. Baek Woo-jin was hit by his fist even though he could have avoided it.
“Wow!”
“Someone like you can’t catch up with me even if it takes a lifetime!”
Baek Woo-jin continued to look for opportunities even though he was hit all over by Baek Myung-hoon’s fist. Never looked away.
“Look at my eyes? “Are you going to be discouraged if I get hit more?”
When Baek Myung-hoon raised his right leg and tried to kick Baek Woo-jin’s thigh, Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, who were only getting hit, sparkled.
“It’s nonsense!”
Baek Myung-hoon laughed when he saw Baek Woo-jin running towards him.
‘If a guy without mana tried to move… gasp!’
The intention was to knock down the charging Baek Woo-jin, but the speed was different from what he expected. A fist flew faster than using mana.
Bye!
Baek Myung-hoon, whose body balance was lost due to one leg being lifted, was unable to avoid Baek Woo-jin’s quick punch and was hit in the chin, sending him flying.
“I’m going to kill you… huh?”
Baek Myung-hun, who was about to get up immediately because the shock was not too great, fell to his knees on the ground again.
“How is this…”
The impact of being hit on the chin shakes the brain, making it temporarily impossible to move the body.
Sigh.
A shadow fell over the head of Baek Myung-hun, who was trembling.
“Now wait!”
“Let’s get it right first.”
Baek Myung-hoon waved his hand, but what flew towards him was Baek Woo-jin’s knee.
Bye!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Before Baek Woo-jin could come to his senses, Baek Woo-jin hit his chin with his knee once more.
Burbubbubbuk!
Whoa!
Baek Woo-jin got on Baek Myung-hoon’s boat, which had fallen backwards, and beat his whole body like a storm without covering his face or body. I was determined to die if I missed this moment, so I beat a dog without even taking a breath.
“Turn off ….
” It was only after being beaten to the point where his breathing became difficult that Baek Myung-hun lost consciousness.
“Sigh…”
Baek Woo-jin gasped and fell backwards.
-It was great! good job!
“Huh huh! okay?”
-You captured that moment when you could win! It was really nice not to hesitate after that. Your guy was a winner!
He praised Baek Woo-jin in a voice with a tone of darkness.
Ding!
[You have completed the sudden quest.]
[300 reward points will be given.]
I was happy to receive the reward for the unexpected quest, but I felt even greater joy when I saw Baek Myung-hoon, whom I could never defeat, lying at my feet.
-But won’t that guy come to you when he wakes up?
“It will never come. This guy has a lot of pride and is very scared. You can’t even say that you hit me. “He’ll probably stay in his room until his face heals, gathering information about me.”
I definitely know Baek Myung-hoon’s personality. He never comes right away. He will find out what happened to him and move on.
“I’ll come back later, but by then it’s already too late.”
-okay. Because you can become stronger. By then, you will be stronger than this idiot.
Wow.
Baek Woo-jin leaned Baek Myung-hoon against the wall and hit him on the back of the head one more time.
-Why did you hit the unconscious guy?
“You look like you want to hit me. “You have no idea how much I’ve wanted to stab you in the back since my past life.”
Bye!
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly and hit Baek Myung-hoon on the back of the head again. This time there was the sound of a nut cracking.
-You are also crazy.
“But why haven’t I received unexpected compensation?”
As soon as Baek Woo-jin spoke, a new hologram window appeared.
[Sudden compensation will be paid.]
