Episode 52. Learning Spiritual Arts
“Hello. “My name is Yoo Jin-ah, the head of Black Market’s Seongnam branch.”
This is what Baek Woo-jin heard when he followed Moon Ju-young into a small, old cafe in Seongnam.
“And that guy’s friend.”
Yoo Jin-ah, who appears to be in her early 30s, pointed to Moon Ju-young, who was standing next to Baek Woo-jin.
“Nice to meet you. “My name is Baek Woo-jin.”
Baek Woo-jin greeted Yu Jin-ah with a calm expression.
“…You’re not surprised at all.”
“First of all, I had predicted from the beginning that this was a black market or intelligence branch. And….”
Baek Woo-jin is the wall of the cafe. He continued speaking while looking at the ceiling and floor.
“With 10 talented people hiding and protecting you, I thought you wouldn’t be an ordinary receptionist.”
Baek Woo-jin had spread his energy and discovered the locations of all 10 talented people using stealth.
“Ah…”
Eugene swallowed his saliva.
The talented people currently hiding are warriors who are expert at hiding, and Baek Woo-jin knew not only who was there, but also where they were.
In addition, he used the people hiding there to find out his status.
I got goosebumps at Baek Woo-jin’s ability that he showed for a short moment.
“ha ha ha! I said it. “Our master knows everything!”
Moon Joo-young looked at Yoo Jin-ah and burst into laughter.
Thanks to Baek Woo-jin’s permission, I brought Yu Jin-ah to the cafe without revealing her identity, and he knew everything.
“I was rude. I’m really sorry.”
The playfulness disappeared from Eugene’s face.
She bowed her head politely to Baek Woo-jin and sent the hidden talents away.
“Since an important guest has arrived, I guess I’ll have to stop doing business today.”
Yoo Jin-ah guided Baek Woo-jin to a room inside the cafe.
Unlike the outside, the room was clean and structured to prevent sound from escaping.
“I’ll greet you again. My name is Yoo Jin-ah, the branch manager of Black Market. “It’s just as you heard.”
“What do you mean by it being the same?”
“I heard that you have outstanding talent and mysterious abilities, and that you know how to be polite and considerate to others.”
“Who would say such an embarrassing thing…”
“That guy.”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Moon Joo-young, who was standing next to Baek Woo-jin.
“That’s true.”
Moon Joo-young was nodding his head, muttering that it was the right thing to say.
“Haa….”
Baek Woo-jin sighed.
Moon Joo-young saw herself as a very great person.
The more you solve a mission or save people, the more severe the symptoms become.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes filled with various emotions and then stood up.
She took out a thin document envelope from the bookshelf.
“Do you know anything? “Even if it’s a black market, there is information that isn’t sold?”
Eugene, who sat down again, whispered as if she were telling a secret.
“Of course it is.”
“The information I am giving to Baek Woo-jin this time is exactly such information.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin frowned.
It is true that spiritists are rare, but if you look for them, you can find them.
He was just looking for someone to teach him elemental arts, but he couldn’t understand why such great information was coming out.
“I was just looking for someone to teach me elemental arts. Why is that information coming out?”
“yes? Jooyoung said that you are so talented that you would never be able to become an ordinary spiritist.”
“yes?”
Baek Woo-jin looked back at Moon Ju-young with dumbfounded eyes.
“that’s right. An ordinary spiritist cannot handle your talent. “You must always seek the best.”
Moon Joo-young looked at Baek Woo-jin with an expression that said, ‘I believe.’
His eyes were filled with trust in Baek Woo-jin.
“I just asked you to find a good spiritist who teaches elemental arts since you have a talent for it!”
“no. Your talent will be on a different level from other people. You must find the best spiritist and learn from him.”
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin felt his head hurt.
It’s good that Moon Joo-young gave me faith, but that faith was a little too strong.
It’s definitely not that much of a talent on a different level.
-Hahaha!
‘Do not laugh!’
-Does that guy think you’re a genius? I’ll have to work hard to meet those expectations.
‘I wondered why it took so long…’
It seems that Moon Joo-young asked Yoo Jin-ah to find the best spirit master, not a well-taught spirit master.
“I think there was a misunderstanding, but why don’t you listen to it first?”
“Why are you giving me such hidden information before that?”
Even if Moon Joo-young and Yoo Jin-ah are friends, it is strange for them to reveal hidden information.
I thought that Eugene wanted something else.
“It would be better to be honest. Even if Jooyoung and I are friends, giving information that is only used internally is a different matter.”
“I know.”
“This is an investment. “An investment for Master Baek Woo-jin of Shingeombaekga.”
Eugene’s eyes were more serious than anything I had seen today.
“There are a lot of rumors about you, Master. Baekga is said to have the greatest talent and unique personality. “It is true that I have been attracted to him since the pyramid scheme, but I believe what I see.”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young once, then held out an envelope.
“So I went to see you in person.”
“You went looking for me?”
“yes. I was also in front of the Mentis dungeon. “I made a decision after seeing you stand up against Lucas to protect the neutral guild.”
“Hmm…”
“Besides, after seeing what you showed me for a short time today, I became convinced of that decision.”
Yoo Jin-ah looked at Baek Woo-jin with unwavering eyes.
“I will provide Master Baek Woo-jin with all the information I can use in the future, including the information I am giving you now.”
“What are you trying to gain by investing in me?”
“There is competition among direct lineages in Shingeombaekga. Same here. “There is competition even among market branch managers.”
“Then…”
“Yes. I will give you the best support to help you move up, so please help me move up as well. “It’s called mutual aid.”
Baek Woo-jin looked at Yoo Jin-ah with calm eyes.
The suggestion itself is very useful.
By using information from the black market, you can make a lot of profit and avoid a lot of risk.
But I just couldn’t believe it.
“Yujin said she recognized me, but I don’t know anything about you. “You can’t believe that he is a friend of escort Moon Joo-young without any investigation.”
Obtaining information from the black market is a huge benefit, but it cannot be simply accepted.
We need to find out what Yujinah’s true feelings are.
“I knew you would. So, I will give you this information for free. Even if you don’t accept my investment.”
Eugene smiled and opened the envelope.
“Free?”
“yes.”
As Baek Woo-jin knows, there is no free or free product in the black market.
This meant that Eugene would pay the price for the information.
“In fact, most people choose Park Shin-hye as the best spiritist, but based on the information we have, we believe that other spiritists have stronger abilities.”
“Who is that?”
“You’ve probably never heard of it. My name is Yoon Woo-min. “We caught a scene where two high-level spirits were summoned at once.”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin was so surprised when he heard the name Yoon Woo-min that he almost bit his tongue. He desperately maintained a nonchalant expression.
‘It’s Yoon Woo-min!’
-Why are you so surprised?
‘He was the first person to appear five years later when a large rift occurred and numerous monsters appeared. Black Market has been aware of Yoon Woo-min from now on.’
-Did you summon the Spirit King? Why are you overreacting so much…
‘That’s right.’
-what?
Baek Woo-jin looked at the name written on the document again and let out a heavy breath.
‘Yoon Woo-min is the Spirit King summoner.’
Moon Joo-young asked for a spirit king summoner instead of a spirit magic teacher.
**
“Here it is.”
Baek Woo-jin and Moon Ju-young arrived at the forest in Gangwon-do where Yoon Woo-min was said to be living with the help of an informant under Yoo Jin-ah.
“It’s a mansion in the forest…”
There was a large, out-of-place house in the middle of the forest.
‘It really blended in with nature.’
-You must be an unusual person to live in a place like this.
‘I know.’
The house was surrounded by trees. It was truly a picturesque landscape, but it seemed a bit uncomfortable for the people living there.
“I’ll just go now.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
“The branch manager said no one would know that the prosecutor came to us, so don’t feel pressured.”
“All right.”
Yujinah’s subordinate showed a friendly attitude until the end and then disappeared.
“What kind of person is Eugene?”
“When you ask that question, it’s difficult to answer. First of all, he is a friend I can trust. “All the information and items you asked me to get came from him.”
“Hmm…”
If so, it means that Yoo Jin-ah knew that she had purchased the items and information, but she did not sell that information anywhere.
I gained very little trust in her.
“I can’t say that I will believe just because you believe. Instead, I’ll think positively.”
“That’s enough.”
“Then let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin approached the front of the mansion.
Sweet.
As Baek Woo-jin approached the front of the house, the front door automatically opened and a huge old man came out.
It’s the same as I saw it in my previous life.
This old man is Yoon Woo-min.
‘Ugh…’
Baek Woo-jin looked at Yoon Woo-min’s eyes and forgot to breathe for a moment.
It was like Baek Cheon-hwa.
The gaze that oppresses the opponent is the gaze of the absolute.
-The pressure is incredible. Is this big guy the Spirit King summoner?
‘that’s right. Although his identity will be revealed five years later…’
Five years from now, when a large-scale crack bursts in Gangwon-do, Yoon Woo-min summons the Spirit King of the Earth to erase all monsters and save countless people.
“What are you?”
“My name is Baek Woo-jin. “I came here because I wanted to learn elemental magic.”
Baek Woo-jin bowed his head, enduring the pressure of Yoon Woo-min. He spit out the main point without any hesitation.
“what?”
Embarrassment filled Yun Woo-min’s face.
I went outside because I felt high-quality mana, but I was shocked when he suddenly said that he wanted to learn elemental arts.
Plus, this guy was bearing his pressure too easily.
-You crazy guy. It’s so sudden!
‘Is this right. Yoon Woo-min’s basic personality is that of a real man. It’s best to be honest.’
Information about Yoon Woo-min released in the future states that he hates lies and likes to be honest.
In particular, there is no need to lie and look hateful from the beginning because you have the skill to detect the other person’s lies.
I decided to be honest enough to embarrass the other person.
“You’re crazy.”
Yoon Woo-min burst out laughing as if it was absurd.
However, he didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.
“How did you know I was a spiritist? “How did you get here before?”
“I asked the black market called Black Market to find the best spiritist.”
“Huh…”
Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin with a puzzled expression.
He has the ability to discern lies in others, and everything the guy in front said was true.
It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my 70 years of life.
“That’s why I’ve been feeling the stares lately.”
Recently, I felt that someone was observing me from afar, and now my curiosity has been answered.
Because of the guy in front, the informants of the black market observed him.
“sorry. “It was probably because of me.”
“Hmm…”
Yoon Woo-min looked at Baek Woo-jin.
Even though he was young, I was impressed by the level of aura inside him and his well-polished spirit.
“If the Baek clan has that much power, is it a direct descendant of the Shingeombaek family?”
“That’s right.”
“A direct descendant of the Shingeombaek family came to me to learn elemental arts?”
“yes.”
“Huh…”
Yoon Woo-min examined Baek Woo-jin’s attribute sensitivity.
It clearly has high attribute sensitivity, but most of it seemed to be the ability of the item.
As attribute sensitivity was felt in various items, it was difficult for Yoon Woo-min to determine Baek Woo-jin’s exact abilities.
“I’m telling you in case you’re misunderstanding something.”
“yes.”
“Even if you increase your sensitivity with the items you wear, it will not help at all with summoning spirits.”
Yoon Woo-min continued, pointing to the bracelet and ring that Baek Woo-jin had.
“After learning how to summon spirits, those items will be of great help, but when learning how to summon spirits, they actually become a hindrance. “Summoning spirits must be done purely with the elemental sensitivity in one’s body.”
“okay.”
“If you understand what I mean, go back.”
“Then I will take off my accessories, so could you please look at me for a moment?”
“Huh…”
Yoon Woo-min snorted when he saw Baek Woo-jin remove the item.
At that age, even if you thought you had genius talent, this guy was overly confident.
“That’s it, don’t be a bother and just go back. I don’t plan on taking any more disciples… huh?”
Yoon Woo-min could not close his mouth when he saw Baek Woo-jin take off the item.
Baek Woo-jin’s condition was completely different from his expectations.
Even after removing the accessories, the sensitivity was still high and the four major attributes were equally developed.
What was even more surprising was that there was a lot of potential left in the body.
I’ve never seen a guy like this before.
“What on earth are you….”
