Regressor Takes Everything - Chapter 97

At the suggestion of Baekryeonmoonju, Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression.

 

‘What do you think?’

 

It is not uncommon to offer a priestly relationship to a talented prospect.

 

In particular, those with their own skills were more active in maintaining their lives, and in that respect, the proposal of Baekryeonmoonju was not so strange.

 

However, from the point of view of Kang Yoo-sik, I was a little puzzled because before his return, Baekryeonmoonju had never had a disciple.

 

‘Of course, before the return, Baekryeonmoonju may not have seen a promising prospect, but… … Me?’

 

Objectively, it is true that there are no promising prospects as good as him in the world, but Kang Yoo-sik could not simply see Baekryeonmoonju’s proposal.

 

In any case, he is the head of the Bairyun Guild, which is one of the top ten guilds in the world, and before they return, he is entangled with the Beijing incident, and the background is unknown.

 

He left the hiding place because there was no connection with Yama, but he had to be careful about getting entangled like this in earnest.

 

“It seems that it is difficult to simply accept it.”

 

Perhaps he recognized Kang Yoo-sik’s inner thoughts, Baekryeonmoonju lightly stroked the braids that were hanging down to his chest.

 

“You don’t have to think too complicated. I am making this proposal to cadet Kang Yoo-sik because I am not doing it with the intention of the country or the guild.”

 

“Then, is that all you want to teach me?”

 

“Yes. That’s all.”

 

Baekryeonmoonju, who smiled, looked at Kang Yoo-sik.

 

“Because cadet Kang Yoo-sik has a very special talent.”

 

“… … What do you mean by special talent?”

 

“It is the talent of Baekryeon Hwanmong.”

 

“… … .”

 

Kang Yoo-sik’s eyes widened at Baekryeonmoonju’s answer, and he immediately put on a puzzled expression.

 

“Aren’t you looking at it wrong?”

 

The Phantom class had more talent than the other classes, and Kang Yoo-sik was particularly terrified of it.

 

Even the simple illusion magic failed every time because of the pain, and the structure of the magic didn’t match very well, so it was embarrassing to memorize it.

 

But do you have any talent for Baekryeon Hwanmong, which is considered the pinnacle of such illusions?

 

It’s not that she doubts Baekryeonmoonju’s ability, but this time around, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was ignorant.

 

“Cadet Kang Yoo-sik has a temperament to underestimate himself.”

 

“Nope. It’s not that I didn’t have the spirit to use illusion magic before… … I can’t quite get a sense of what kind of part you’re looking at and saying you have talent.”

 

“Even if you ask what part it is, that’s all… … .”

 

Baekryeonmoonju, who had an expression on his face that he did not know how to explain this, smiled as if he had remembered something.

 

“Would you mind giving me a hand? Let the back of your hand touch my palm.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“It’s just a moment.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik pondered for a moment at the appearance of Baekryeon Moon-ju with his right hand in front of him and then raised his hand.

 

“Stay still.”

 

Woo-

 

Magical energy resounded from under the back of her hand, and after a while, a white bud appeared on Kang Yoo-sik’s hand with a soft sensation and bloomed.

 

A splendidly spread lotus flower and a strangely spread mandala. Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression when he saw the Baekryeon Hwanmong unfolding.

 

‘You feel like you are connected even though there is nothing connected, don’t you?’

 

A strange feeling, as if a Baekryeon Hwanmong was unfolding in her own hands. When Kang Yoo-sik is looking at him strangely.

 

Hwaahak-

 

Suddenly, a deep fog began to form around it, and the entire reception room, including Baekryeonmoonju and Ilhwadanju, which were in front of me, disappeared.

 

When Kang Yoo-sik was surprised by the sudden change.

 

“By the way, did you hear that?”

 

Ahn Seol-ha’s voice came from behind.

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked back at the voice he could not hear here, and soon saw a familiar scene.

 

Inside the darkened room under An Seol-ha. And on the bed, there were two people right next to each other, and one of them was An Seol-ha, who of course heard a voice. And next to him was himself with a slightly slender cheek.

 

‘… … Before returning?’

 

I didn’t know it until I saw it, but the moment I saw it, I vaguely remembered it.

 

Maybe it was because of the effect of Baekryeon Hwanmong, but in the unexpected scenery, Kang Yoo-sik looked at the memory.

 

“What… … .”

 

He answered with a slightly tired expression on his face. Ahn Seol-ha, who was stroking his chest, smiled softly.

 

“There are rumors that Baekryeonmoonju was not imprisoned, but escaped.”

 

“… … Is that so?”

 

“You said it. It’s a rumor. But there was a lot of buzz about whether it was a story that wasn’t credible at all.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik, who had glimpsed her memories, made a strange expression.

 

‘Okay… … There’s definitely something strange going on here… … .’

 

When Kang Yoo-sik frowned at the seemingly floating memory. Ahn Seol-ha continued the story.

 

“The reason why the mist of Musaengwon doesn’t disappear is because Baekryeonmoonju fled, it spreads like that.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik’s eyes widened at Ahn Seol-ha’s story.

 

‘Okay. There was a saengwon!’

 

An unidentified garden located in the headquarters of the Baekryeon Guild.

 

It is known that no one was able to enter due to the thick fog. At first, there were many stories, but later it was concluded that it was a fictional building that did not exist.

 

‘But if that’s true… … .’

 

Wouldn’t it be possible to recognize while receiving the teachings of Baekryeonmoonju this time? When Kang Yoo-sik is making an interesting expression on an unexpected possibility.

 

“Okay… … .”

 

“what. It’s not fun?”

 

“No what. It’s a Chinese story, and it has nothing to do with it… … .”

 

The moment I saw myself answering as if everything in the world was bothering me. Kang Yoo-sik turned her head to her side with a chilling sensation in the nape of her neck.

 

“It doesn’t look like fun.”

 

In the dark, Ahn Seol-ha smiled and moved like a snake crawling, and then, while riding on it, her eyes twinkled.

 

“Then shall we have fun?”

 

“Come on, wait… … It hasn’t even been 20 minutes yet… … .”

 

“I’ll make it fun~”

 

“Oh, no… … !”

 

The snake’s fangs bit her past self as it was, and Kang Yoo-sik turned her head at the tragic memory.

 

“A cadet Kang Yoo-sik?”

 

And her fog disappeared and the surroundings returned to normal.

 

Just like Baekryeonmoonju, who stares with blank eyes, Ilhwadanju with both eyes wide open.

 

At the sight of the two, Kang Yoo-sik naturally fell down, and she found Baekryeon Hwanmong blooming on her hand, freed from her hand.

 

“… … What happened?”

 

The hand of Baekryeonmoonju is gone, how is it that the dream of Baekryeon Hwanmong is being maintained?

 

In an unknown situation, Kang Yoo-sik looked at her as if asking for her explanation, and Baekryeonmoonju explained, although slightly perplexed.

 

“In order to use Baekryeon Hwanmong, you need soil to grow it… … Because cadet Kang Yoo-sik has it, he can maintain his magic.”

 

“Soil?”

 

“Let me explain with an example. Ilhwa Danju. Can you help me for a moment?”

 

“All right.”

 

Danju Ilhwa, who had been standing behind the story of Baekryeonmoonju, came to her side and placed her hand on her palm.

 

The Baekryeon Hwanmong bloomed simply as before. When Ilhwadanju saw it, he pulled out his hand.

 

–

 

The lotus flower turned into a mist and flew in all directions.

 

In a situation completely opposite to her own, Kang Yoo-sik widened her eyes and immediately asked Persval.

 

‘Persval. How do you see it?’

 

– I don’t know what the soil you are talking about means… … As long as you haven’t intervened in the situation a little while ago, that’s for sure. road.

 

I used the same technique but got a different result. Kang Yoo-sik made a strange expression when he saw the Baekryeon Hwanmong blooming on her hand.

 

‘It’s the soil… … .’

 

I still don’t know why the conditions were met, but if you have talent, it would be better to learn.

 

When Kang Yoo-sik is thinking. Seeing that she continues to keep the dream of Baekryeon, she puts on an expression of disbelief from Baekryeonmoonju.

 

She said, ‘Not only resonating with Baekryeon Hwanmong but also maintaining it for this long… … .’

 

Maybe she unconsciously learned how to use Baekryeon Hwanmong last time while looking at the structure.

 

Baekryeonmoonju’s eyes lit up at Kang Yoo-sik’s talent, who might be better than himself.

 

‘I have only this child.’

 

There is only this child in front of him who can learn the dream of white rhymes and fulfill his impossible mission.

 

Baekryeonmoonju, who was convinced of it again, looked at it with twinkling eyes.

 

“Well. Before answering, there are a few things I would like to ask you.”

 

“What happened?”

 

“Do I have to go to China to become a disciple?”

 

In response to Kang Yoo-sik’s question, which seemed to lean in the opposite direction, Baekryeonmoonju nodded his head with a bright expression.

 

“Yes. I will not be able to stay abroad for a long time, and I think it would be fine to come to China because there is an effective training place for learning the Baekryeon Hwanmong in the headquarters of the Baekryeon Guild.”

 

“As you may know, I am still attending the Seongjin Military Academy, so going completely to China… … .”

 

“I heard that cadets with a certain level of skill easily allow outside activities. Isn’t it good enough for our Baekryeon Guild?”

 

The answer that comes out without blockage whether you have already looked into it all.

 

Obviously, Kang Yoo-sik is not a big problem so far, but the important thing is Lee Daum.

 

“It’s a little bit true when I say it myself, but… … It will probably become quite popular once this announcement is made public. Either in the light or in the dark.”

 

You think it’s enough to take care of yourself, but don’t you know that it’s a worldly thing?

 

Not to mention especially if it’s not Korea, the home ground, but China, where there was a bad smell before returning.

 

“If you go to China, what will you do as an escort?”

 

Kang’s question had two intentions.

 

In other words, how are you going to protect yourself? And how high is your own importance within Baekryeonmoonju?

 

Based on this answer, I was thinking of going to China in the future, so Kang Yoo-sik stared intently.

 

“The escort of cadet Kang Yoo-sik has already been decided.”

 

Baekryeonmoonju smiled and placed his hand on his chest.

 

“I. And the one behind me. One of the two of us will be there for sure.”

 

Two S-class hunters take turns serving as their escort. Kang Yoo-sik had a slightly startled expression at the unconventional arrangement, and Baekryeonmoonju looked at it triumphantly.

 

“Did this answer you?”

 

“… … Yes. That’s enough.”

 

There is no need to worry about this anymore.

 

With a satisfied expression on his face, Kang Yoo-sik put his hand into her inner pocket, took out a piece of paper and a ballpoint pen, and placed it on the desk.

 

“This?”

 

“It is an oath. It’s a necessity for building trust in each other.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik smiled and grabbed a ballpoint pen.

 

“Let’s start with the escort time and the location of the accommodation, shall we?”

 

It was three hours after Kang Yoo-sik left the waiting room, and after all negotiations were over. Baekryeonmoonju and Ilhwadanju, who remained in the room, looked haggard.

 

“… … There is no way that cadet Kang Yoo-sik will be assassinated anywhere.”

 

“I think so… … .”

 

Ilhwadanju and Rao Chang looked at Baekryeonmoonju with a tired expression on their face.

 

“But are you really okay? If you accept an outsider as a disciple, there will be a backlash from within… … .”

 

“It is unavoidable. You can’t give me what you can’t have.”

 

Baekryeonmoonju and Li May, who answered with a cold voice, looked down at their hands.

 

“Probably only cadet Kang Yoo-sik can learn Baekryeon Hwanmong. So, if I can’t fulfill my mission… … .”

 

After her pause, Li May took her own hand with a bitter expression on her face.

 

“no. anything.”

 

“… … .”

 

At Li Mei’s story, Rao Chang quietly followed him as if he had not heard anything.

 

* * *

 

“Neither of them know anything about this.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik, seeing the pledge signed by the two, raised the corner of her lips slightly. I’ve been doing very little tricks to the point where it doesn’t show up here and there, but I can’t seem to figure it out.

 

She seemed to have little to no practical work or no knowledge of these pledges.

 

‘This will make my future trip to China easier.’

 

With a grin, Kang Yoo-sik put the pledge back in as it was, passed the hotel lobby, and got on the elevator.

 

And the moment you put the card on the terminal and press the button on the top floor.

 

tuung-

 

A ripple occurred on the elevator door, and the shape changed, and a door that was decorated more splendidly than its original shape appeared.

 

When Kang Yoo-sik looked at the sudden change with a slightly surprised expression. As the elevator reached the top floor, the door opened.

 

Tiing!

 

The scenery is completely different from the original corridor on the top floor.

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at it, and she knew roughly what had happened.

 

‘Is it Hermit?’

 

When she heard Archibald’s story, she said she would come to her, but it must have been today.

 

Kang Yoo-sik, seeing the scenery unfolding in front of her, suddenly looked up at the elevator ceiling.

 

‘There is no change here.’

 

If she doesn’t want to meet Hermit, she can just open the top lid and get out. She pondered for a moment between the two options, and then she moved her steps out of the elevator.

 

As she came out of the hallway, she saw a room marked ‘President’s Room’ on the right, and Kang Yoo-sik opened the door and went inside.

 

‘It’s wide.’

 

About half the size of a suite.

 

There were only minimal items such as bookshelves, chairs, and sofas on a pure white background, but the space between them was wide, so space was wasted in many ways.

 

‘What do you want to look like here?’

 

Will I be able to see her face this time?

 

With that thought in mind, Kang Yoo-sik looked around the room.

 

“It’s late.”

 

From the back of her bookshelf, a woman with blonde hair reaching her shoulders walked out.

 

Round rimless glasses with slightly sharp eyes. The outfit was a gray and white blouse and a black high-waisted skirt, which gave me the impression that I was a tall person.

 

“Hermit?”

 

“If not me, who else would make a place like this?”

 

“… … It is.”

 

Seeing Kang Yoo-sik looking at her strangely rudely, Hermit, a blonde-haired woman sitting on her sofa, blinked next to her.

 

“sit down please.”

 

“Oh, yes.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik sat on the sofa next to her, and Hermit looked at her with her legs crossed.

 

“This time it was great. She honestly didn’t know things would turn out so well… … .”

 

She looked at Hermit, who spoke as if she was looking forward to something, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at him with different eyes.

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“Archibald’s persuasion. And this time it’s the Pandemonium attack. I was unsuccessful in persuasion and expected that Ban Hye-young would be seriously injured.”

 

At Hermit’s unexpectedly blunt answer, Kang Yoo-sik looked at him as if he was surprised.

 

“I thought you were trying to hide a little more… … It’s a little surprising.”

 

“Hide it… … Do you mean something like foresight?”

 

“Well, that’s right.”

 

The first time she heard about Archibald. Kang Yoo-sik thought that Hermit had the power of foresight.

 

It’s because she had a strong sense of skipping the middle process just like those related to her in the way she spoke.

 

‘But looking back now, it doesn’t seem like it.’

 

There is a lot of uncertainty for her to be predictive, and she seems to be a little surprised by herself.

 

Then, with what ability did Hermit predict this situation? When Kang Yoo-sik looked at her with an interesting expression, Hermit replied calmly.

 

“To be clear, I don’t have any kind of foresight. I just know a little bit more than everyone else.”

 

“I know a lot… … .”

 

“For example… … Oh, that would be nice.”

 

Hermit, leaning slightly on the sofa, explained, placing his hands on his thighs.

 

“If you could tell ordinary people and culinary experts what kind of food you can make with the same ingredients, who knows more?”

 

“Of course, you are an expert.”

 

“I am like him. Even under the same circumstances, I can predict a larger number of cases, and I picked the best number out of them.”

 

I didn’t figure out the future, I just made a choice based on the number of cases. Kang Yoo-sik seemed to know what Hermit’s abilities were.

 

‘It’s just a gamble.’

 

You pick the best number, but you never know whether it will succeed or fail. Besides, looking at this case, it seems that he can’t even actively intervene, but isn’t it a perfect light apricot?

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at Hermit with a slightly lost expression at her ability, which was nothing more than she thought.

 

“Then you really didn’t know what was going to happen, did you?”

 

“Sure. If I could really see the future, why would I see Pandemonium set up in New York?”

 

I thought that might be the case, but Kang Yoo-sik did not dare say it.

 

Although her personality is a little different from the last time we met, it’s basically because Hermit didn’t look like a villain.

 

‘You don’t have to look bad for nothing.’

 

Kang Yoo-sik, who had decided to put aside her thoughts about her Hermit, looked at her.

 

“So, what did you invite me for this time?”

 

“Ah. It’s not a big deal, but there’s still quite a bit of balance left after paying the bill. I came here to settle it.”

 

“price?”

 

When Kang Yoo-sik made a puzzled expression, Hermit laughed.

 

“It looks like you haven’t given it yet. Well, let’s leave it as a pleasure at that time and take care of the balance first.”

 

Hermit took his hand under the sofa, and then placed three boxes of unknown origin on the table and opened them.

 

click-

 

Inside the box are a pair of black gloves and a pair of earrings with small green jewels.

 

And finally, it was a thin gold bracelet, and Kang Yoo-sik’s eyes widened when he saw it.

 

‘Draufnir?’

 

An AA-grade auxiliary item that can store magical power every 9 days.

 

Before returning, the items that Kang Yoo-sik had used until the day he died reappeared in front of her eyes
