Regressor Takes Everything - Chapter 80

“You rejected my offer to eventually meet a guy like him, how disappointing.”

 

Park Yoo-chan, the guy who spoke looking at Ahn Seol-ha, turned towards Kang Yoo-sik and took a good look at him.

 

A murderous glance that seemed like he’s about to rush in and throw a punch. Though he pretended like he was a husband who caught his wife having some kind of affair, the fact that they had no relationship in real was a funny sight to see.

 

‘Ha, nothing has changed be it his 20s or 30s.’

 

Kang Yoo-sik chuckled from the inside and looked up calmly, to which Park Yoo-chan frowned even more. He took a deep breath and spat his words out.

 

“Let me give you a piece of advice since you look like you don’t know anything. Ahn Seol-ah is not a woman that a person like you can handle.”

 

“………..”

 

“If you don’t want to get caught in the middle of it, it’s still not too late to find the place you belong to.”

 

He said it in a flash but if he pieces them together quickly, he meant to get lost right now. At Park Yoo-chan’s words, Kang Yoo-sik thought for a moment and looked at Ahn Seol-ha.

 

A face that’s been looking at him all long, not even a glace at Park Yoo-chan. Though she looked dull from the outside, her eyes were filled with excitement.

 

‘She’s enjoying it.’

 

Perhaps she’s trying to figure out his mind, isn’t she? Kang Yoo-sik who got a rough idea of Ahn Seol-ha’s mind gave a thought for a moment and looked at Park Yoo-chan.

 

“The term ‘handle’ seems quite off, but…. Me and Ahn Seol-ha certainly don’t match, right?”

 

“Glad that you realized it at least now.”

 

At the sight of Park Yoo-chan smirking, Kang Yoo-sik let out a breath as if expressing regret.

 

“Because Ahn Seol-ha is an S-class hunter and the successor of the 1000-day guild. A young boy like me who got famous recently or…… a half-successor of an intermediate guild that’s not even in the Top 10 guilds are a little low in class for her, right?”

 

“Pfft!”

 

Ahn Seol-ha who was listening from beside burst into laughter and turned her head in excitement, while Park Yoo-chan who gave a blank expression frowned at once and saw red.

 

“Are you…… done talking?”

 

Though their meeting was quite different, Park Yoo-chan’s wrath was still the same as ever.

 

The position of the Noblesse Guild that was relegated from the World’s Top 10 Guilds, and his unsatisfactory talent after getting into the Class A hunter with his chin-up.

 

As he mentioned both of them at the same time, Kang Yoo-sik was lucky he didn’t run and grab him.

 

“Did I say something wrong? It’s the advice of my own. Because me and you, both can’t be getting into this.”

“You impudent little-……….”

 

It was a bit of experience-based advice, but it seemed to be more infuriating. Park Yoo-chan’s clenched fist trembled and all he saw was red.

 

And right when he was about to punch Kang Yoo-sik

 

“CAN YOU STOP?”

 

Anh Seol-ha’s cold voice rang through.

 

“Ughhh!”

 

Park Yoo-chan stepped back with a pale face while raging as if he was being mutilated and broke out in a cold sweat.

 

If only he had thrown his fist, two of his limbs would have flown away in one swing. Park Yoo-chan who realized that, staggered in horror at the thought of it.

 

“Uhhhhh”

 

Kang Yoo-sik quivered and pat his arm.

 

‘That one’s rage is no different from then and now huh.’

 

Kang Yoo-sik gave a look of disgust at the chill that passed all over his body and Park Yoo-chan looked astonished at that.

 

‘H-, How is that……’

 

Ahn Seol-ha’s horrific rage from before was not just aimed at him, but it was indiscriminately scattered all around the area.

 

Kang Yoo-sik too faced the same horrific energy as him, but how could he respond to it so nonchalantly?

 

Park Yoo-chan gave an unbelievable expression at Kang Yoo-sik’s level which is ridiculous to move on thinking that he just has good tolerance, while Ahn Seol-ha gave a slight smile.

 

“Indeed, cadet Kang Yoo-sik is quite special.”

 

“It’s just because I’m used to it.”

 

“Huhu. I truly like that attitude of yours too.”

 

Ahn Seol-ha silently muttered at the sight of Kang Yoo-sik answering confidently and turned her head to look at Park Yoo-chan.

 

“Do you get it now?”

 

“Wh-, What do you mean……”

 

Park Yoo-chan answered with a slightly shaky voice due to the aftereffect of the horrific energy of rage. At that sight, Ahn Seol-ha chuckled and held Kang Yoo-sik’s arm closer.

 

“If you’re going to comment on qualifications, the least you could do is not fear like cadet Kang Yoo-sik. Looking like that after saying so much about being able to handle or not it a bit……. of an ugly sight to see, isn’t it?”

 

“………”

 

Park Yoo-chan’s face turned red at Ahn Seol-ha’s sneer. He clenched his fist as if crushing something and muttered quietly in a voice mixed with shame & anger.

 

“Someday……… I’ll surely make you realize who will be the one standing beside you……”

 

Park Yoo-chan left the terrace after uttering those words and Ahn Seol-ha who watched him leave, let out a breath and rested on Kang Yoo-sik’s shoulder.

 

“Ahh. My father likes something about that bastard so… I swear I have nothing to do with him…..”

 

“Is he your fiancé?”

 

“Not yet. It could end up so if I don’t find a suitable partner.”

 

Though he eventually became her fiancé before the regression, they didn’t go to the extent of getting married.

 

That’s because when the marriage was around the corner, Ahn Seol-ha who couldn’t bear it anymore had hired Kang Yoo-sik and found out about a human experiment called the Reinforcement Plan that was sponsored by the Noblesse Guild and exposed it all.

 

‘And right after that, I was promoted as the deputy guild leader, right.’

 

Though they say deputy guild leader, in reality, he had a position that was no less than that of the guild leader, thanks to his involvement that prevented an incident that could’ve faltered the guild.

 

‘What do I do this time…….’

 

Though he can expose their plans on the Reinforcement Plan right away too, as far as he knows it was not a good thing to do in this era.

 

Because it’s still the time where they’re experimenting using the monster as an opponent and more than anything, the right big names have not been involved yet.

 

‘It’s a case that can hit hard against Hwang Young Group…… It’s good to save it for now.’

 

Back then he had to collect the shreds of evidence on his own since he was working under the command of Hwang Hwi-chan, but this time there’s no need to do that.

 

When Kang Yoo-sik was organizing his plans like that….

 

“Hmm. Should I introduce you to my father…….?”

 

Ahn Seol-ha muttered in a chilling voice while patting his arm she was holding onto.

 

“………. I’m sorry what?”

 

“Because I think my father could change his mind too if he meets you. What do you think? Could you come home once instead of the party……?”

 

“Ah, no. I think it’s a little too early to……”

 

“……..”

 

Ahn Seol-ha squinted her eyes and looked up and Kang Yoo-sik quietly avoided her eyes.

 

Ahn Seol-ha who gave a slightly unsatisfactory look at it chuckled afterward and pat his arm again.

 

“I mean, it’s not urgent or anything~ I’ll ask again if it gets urgent.”

 

“If it’s urgent then……. I’ll lend help too.”

There’s no issue as he will be clearing up anything before that happens anyway. Ahn Seol-ha smiled brightly at Kang Yoo-sik’s reply.

 

“I’ll look forward to that time.”

 

Ahn Seol-ha slightly leaned on his arm. At that sight, Kang Yoo-sik wondered if he should let go and chuckled at his arm that won’t even budge.

 

And on that day, he had to lend one of his arms to Ahn Seol-ha until they parted.

***

Next day.

 

Kang Yoo-sik woke up from his sleep, took a light shower, and came out of the living room.

 

An interior that’s decorated so fancily to a point he couldn’t even remember the empty look of the room when he moved in.

 

The room was decorated as promised by Yoon Hee-jin, the daughter of the president of the YoonKangHyun Academy, who was in Italy at the same time as him during the vacation and the level of it was amazing.

 

‘I thought she’d do it well to some point, no way I thought it’d look like this……

 

Kang Yoo-sik who looked around at the scene that looked as if he came to someone else’s place changed his clothes and headed towards Ban Hye-young’s Research Institute.

 

There were almost little to no cadets at the academy as it was the vacation and it was more so because it was usually the time where they go for dungeon practices or guild tours.

 

‘But it’s like this because our academy’s training facility is that good…… it’s a level where no one can even compare it with other academies.’

 

Kang Yoo-sik continued walking with his memory of the place before the regression and found a familiar but unfamiliar face in front of Ban Hye-young’s research room.

 

Extremely short hair and wide shoulders. Stood there so disciplined from top to bottom to a point the form of the body was visible through the uniform. There was a glimpse of vitality instead of the gloomy vibe from back then.

 

With both fists bandaged, it looked so natural from a distance to a point anyone could say it was a cadet who is well-trained in martial arts.

 

“Ah. Ma’am!”

 

A woman waved her hands energetically when she saw him. Kang Yoo-sik cautiously walked forward at the sight of the Beast Queen Lee Ha-rin.

 

“You look like you’ve……… changed a lot?”

 

“Ah, I arranged things up recently since it looked burdensome. It looks nice to see, doesn’t it?”

 

“Yes. It does suit you….”

 

It was a bit awkward as Beast Queen used to go around with long hair before the regression, but short hair was not bad too.

 

Above that, when he thinks of her personality that’s gotten more cheerful, it feels like it suits her more.

 

“You must be so busy as it’s the vacation, I’m sorry for calling you suddenly.”

 

“I wasn’t that busy too. Since I couldn’t find a good opponent than the previous one………”

 

Kang Yoo-sik gave a wry smile at Lee Ha-rin who looked regretful.

 

As she challenges until she wins if she thinks there’s even a small chance and destroys the opponent, the other cadets have no choice but to avoid it as they’re tired.

 

‘I don’t even know if it’s better to send Lee Ha-rin to the dungeon.’

 

Since her speed of development is faster than others due to the nature of the tamer, it’s not a bad idea to send her in once the preparations are done too.

 

Kang Yoo-sik who was reviewing his idea for a moment then got it off his mind to look at Lee Ha-rin.

 

“Firstly, should we go in?”

 

“Of course!”

 

Kang Yoo-sik entered the Research Institute with Lee Ha-rin and went into the experiment room that Ban Hye-young was in.

 

“You’re here.”

 

“Yes. This is Ms. Lee Ha-rin, a member of our club.”

 

“Nice to meet you.”

 

A greeting so lively that he couldn’t find her old timid self. Ban Hye-young gave a slight handshake at that and looked at Kang Yoo-sik.

 

“First of all, I’ve already prepared what you asked for but…… Do you really think that it’s possible?”

 

Ban Hye-young still looks unsure even after hearing the explanation beforehand. Kang Yoo-sik nodded at that.

 

“Yes. I’m sure it’s possible. Since there’s no mistake in the theory.”

 

“I know that too but……. Ah, whatever. I’m sure it will go well if you’re saying, isn’t it?”

 

Kang Yoo-sik chuckled at Ban Hye-young who gave up on doubting it and turned to look at Lee Ha-rin beside.

 

“Ms. Lee Ha-rin. Do you remember what we’re doing today?”

 

“Yes. We’re going to subordinate a new fantasy creature, right?”

 

“Right. And the medium we’re going to use for it is the left arm of a catastrophic mine (devil)”

 

“…….. What?”

 

Lee Ha-rin gave a blank expression at Kang Yoo-sik’s words.

 

Existence of a corrupted human who accepted the power of a monster through the mana stone. Is called a mine and were the ones who were basically treated like a monster.

 

But using the left arm of the catastrophic mine, known as the top mine among them, as the medium to summon?

 

Lee Ha-rin’s mind was completely twisted at the thought she never had even once.

 

“Th-, That’s possible?”

 

“Yes. It’s possible. Since a mine is nothing less than that of a monster too.”

 

“But he was a human before that, wasn’t he?”

 

“But a monster was mixed along with it, right? I mean, there’s no need to dig further into it. Because it’s possible to do anyway.”

 

Using a part of a mine as a medium. It’s something that few people could think of and though they didn’t tell it out, there had been several kinds of research on it.

 

At the end of failures & sacrifices that’s too much to be counted in the future, a tamer found out a possible method but a few conditions were input here too.

 

‘A mine, the owner of the body could be injured or dead. Use as many parts as possible to an extent.’

 

Though it is characterized by mine summoning, which differs according to the medium and capabilities of the tamer in general fantasy creature summoning, because mine summoning only brings power to the proportion of the body used.

 

In other words, when the catastrophic mine, Agares’s left arm is used as a medium, it can only summon as much power as that.

 

‘Usually, if it’s the left arm, it won’t be that strong…… But in the case of Agares, it’s quite different.’

 

On top of that, if they succeed in the taming of it, the mine’s strength will be taken away and will weaken too. So, there’s almost little to no bad thing about this method.

 

“Uhmm…… Though I’m not sure of it, I’ll try my best!”

 

“Thank you, Professor. Please go ahead.”

 

“Yeah yeah. By any chance if something goes wrong the entity of the medium will be gone, so please don’t yell at me for that.”

 

The three of them moved to the room where they had already prepared everything for the summoning and Kang Yoo-sik placed the black cube he had with him on the summoner.

 

Click!

 

The black cube unfolded layer by layer and revealed the left arm of Agares that was sealed inside it.

 

Sharp scales in the shade of dark red were all over the body. It looked like the arm of a dragon. Maybe because he sealed in as soon as he slashed it off, the mana was still overflowing.

 

‘An arm of a wild dragon.’

 

Another name of the catastrophic mine Agares was Dragon.

 

It was a name he was called because he had an arm containing the strength of a dragon, while his left arm that shows off an enormous destructive power was known as the ‘Arm of a wild dragon’ and had the power that made hunters quiver.

 

When compared to the time he met him before the regression, maybe because his mana stone intake was lesser as he looked quite weak. But still, for a catastrophic mine, there’s an extremely useful summoning power coming out of it.

 

‘And Agares’s power will be cut off a lot too.’

 

Kang Yoo-sik who made a rough calculation looked at Lee Ha-rin who backed out of the summoner to prepare the rest of it.

 

“If you feel tired, I’ll go in and back you up like before. So, please go without any worries.”

 

“Sure!”

 

“Let’s get started.”

 

Lee Ha-rin clapped her hand at Kang Yoo-sik’s signal and following that mana, a brilliant light spluttered all over the summoner.

 

Wooooong!

 

Agares’s arm that was left on the center had decomposed into dust and permeated through the entire summoner while the white light turned into dark red and turned into an ominous form.

 

So far, it’s a seemingly smooth situation, but right when the summoning started officially, Kang Yoo-sik watched with narrowed eyes.

 

‘It’s……. a lot?’

 

If that’s the mana summoned by his left arm then it should be approximately around 25%. Though 25% of a catastrophic mine could be quite a lot, the amount that was spluttering in front of them did not make sense.

 

“Hey! Are you sure this is okay!?”

 

Ban Hye-young hurriedly questioned as if she too felt an abnormality to which Kang Yoo-sik thought for a moment and looked with sparkling eyes.

 

“It’s alright!”

 

Though it’s strange in general, by any chance if Agares’s injury was in a seriously bad condition, it could not be strange to go way above 25% too.

 

‘It’s rather going great!’

 

A situation where taming can be certainly successful as Ban Hye-young was by his side too. Kang Yoo-sik motioned to keep going.

 

Splutter!!

 

The dark red mana that flowed out to its limit quickly banded around the center of the summoner and began to form a body.

 

Wooong!

 

Four big legs grounded on the floor and two elongated wings spread out on either side. The body was covered by dark red scales while horns and teeth sprung out sharply.

 

Being 1m in height and 3m in length, it was relatively small, but a sight that never fails to measure up to its greatness.

 

[Did you guys summon me?]

 

Just like the name of the arm, a Wild Dragon appeared from the summoner.
