episode_0007

Han Tae-woo frowned and began to pull away the hand that was getting tighter.

‘What on earth did you do to change someone so much in such a short period of time?’

The appearance, the body, and even those eyes full of will.

The Han Seo-jin in front of him now was not the Han Seo-jin he used to be.

A social misfit who doesn’t feel strange even if he dies at any time.

A piece of trash that will gain momentum and plummet into hell if you give it a little push.

But now, his face is standing straight in front of him, glaring at him with eyes full of anger.

His mood changed quite a bit.

Han Tae-woo carefully reached down to his waist and fiddled with the dagger.

‘Could it be… you’ve already noticed…? No, no. He’s not that smart. Yeah… I think he’s very angry because he lost his money in coins.’

Han Tae-woo chuckled and shook off his hands.

That stupid idiot who doesn’t know anything about the world

There was no way he had already figured out his plan.

Although bright red handprints were already left on his white hands like bruises.

Not losing momentum, he glared at Han Seo-jin and said as if it were ridiculous.

“So, what is going on here? Why are you carrying a katana that you can’t use? Could it be that he came here to beg as an offering to the heavens to at least awaken him?“

Han Seo-jin glared at Han Tae-woo without saying anything.

Then he raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

“Ah, I don’t know much about you, since you haven’t even stepped foot on the academy’s threshold. This time, my youngest and I are entering school at the same time. That’s why I came, bro. “

At that moment, that single word scratched Han Tae-woo’s pride very strongly.

Han Seo-jin, who usually couldn’t make eye contact and stuttered.

That son of a bitch who always crawled under him like a dog to solidify his superiority.

The expression on his face that just made him laugh at himself.

For a moment, Han Tae-woo felt the blood rushing backwards and clenched his hands tightly.

‘Because Han Tae-woo has a complex about his academic background… Let’s make a fuss with this…’

And as always,

He threw a slap at Han Seo-jin, who was caught off guard.

Tup!

“What… what…?!“

Cringing or being hit so hard that you fall to the floor.

That was the reaction to the surprise beatings that Han Seo-jin always experienced.

But for some reason, he suddenly snatched the flying hand out of the air and

He began to twist Han Tae-woo’s wrist greatly.

“K…Kaaak…!“

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, but I’m already starting to pick up hand habits… Tsk.“

When I raised my head with my upper body tilted and saw Han Seo-jin’s face.

He was looking down at him with a disdainful expression that only he could usually make.

As if I am superior to you now.

“You… you bastard…!”

“Okay, both of you, there you go.“

Jia Han, who was watching all this, walked between the two men and shook them off.

Then he crossed his arms and looked at the two men with a pitiful expression.

“Have you forgotten what day it is today? If you’re going to start a fight here, just get out. It would be better that way.“

“But this bastard Han Seo-jin just now…!“

“Hey, Taewoo Han. He said that if I touched my younger brother again, he would beat me up. I’ll see you later when you get home…“

“kk…“

There were two women that Han Tae-woo was afraid of.

One was his mother, and the other was his eldest daughter, Han Ji-ah.

He turned his head and touched his swollen wrist.

Han Seo-jin winked at the girl who came forward at the right time and then sat down.

‘It would be nice to beat him here and now… but it’s not the time yet…’

He was fiddling with his katana and measuring the angle of his turn.

The timing to expose Han Tae-woo’s ugly side in front of everyone in the family.

smart.

The bodyguard knocked and entered the room.

“The next event will be held in the rental room in 10 minutes. We will guide you as soon as you are ready.“

After giving a concise explanation, she took Han Tae-woo, who was groaning, out of the room.

‘Was that person the agent back then…’

That night was so dark and there wasn’t even any moonlight.

Except for Han Tae-woo, the faces of the others were made difficult to remember.

As I was beaten with a stick like a dog on a dog day, in my mind-blind vision,

All I could remember was that they were women wearing black suits.

“Ah, thank you, sister. Thanks to you, I survived.“

“With that much. It was pretty good for a man? I usually answer wrong, but this time I know how to counterattack.“

Jia Han was nudging him with her elbow and laughing.

Even though it looks so ordinary, it is one of the monsters that at the young age of 22 is an awakened level 4 and [S] level hunter.

Han Seo-jin looked at her with a kind smile and brushing her long black hair.

[congratulations! Your relationship rank with Jia Han has increased!]

‘uh?’

“Then, shall we all leave now?“

Han Seo-jin felt something ominous, but

Because that wasn’t important

I walked to the main hall where the main event was held.

****

In the main hall, many famous people were gathered together and talking.

When the heirs of other families, including me, appeared at once, all eyes began to focus.

“Is that the S-class hunter Ji-ah Han that I only heard about through rumors… Her momentum is no joke.“

“Not only that, Han Yun-seo, who passed with the top honors this time, is also next to him!“

“Since Han Tae-woo came in early… that person must be Han Seo-jin. Hmm, it looks better than rumored, right?“

They gathered among themselves and started talking, making all kinds of speculations and speculations.

The youngest was following Han Ji-ah like a chick and avoiding their gaze.

Shortly after we entered

One of the employees announced the arrival of a key person.

“Matriarch Kim Hye-jin is entering! Please welcome everyone with a big round of applause!“

When the huge door opened, a woman in a black coat walked gracefully through the gap.

Kim Hye-jin, the current head of the Hunter family.

Let the people gathered at the event cheer and applaud.

She waved her hand gently, then carefully placed a box on the table.

Inside the luxurious black box, items with a strong atmosphere appeared.

The staff next to him began to carefully place each item on the table.

She swept her shoulder-length short black hair to the side and called together the waiting successors.

The first magic awakener in Korea to reach level 5.

And at the same time, he was an early member of the Hunter Association when it was founded.

A person who was also involved in the establishment of Central Academy and other academies.

She has a youthful appearance and vitality that makes it hard to believe she is in her 40s.

She looked noticeably more beautiful than when she last left me her will.

Kim Hye-jin came up to me and the youngest, smiled and held out her hand affectionately.

“I sincerely congratulate you on your admission to the academy. Now, among the items prepared by this body… take the one you like the most.“

“Thank you…Mother.“

The youngest smiled brightly and shook hands with the matriarch.

I also smiled brightly while holding her hand.

As soon as she held my hand, her eyes changed and she looked closely into my eyes.

Her gaze seems to see through anything

It seemed like he wanted to ask me a variety of questions as he appeared completely changed.

“You’ve grown a lot in the time we haven’t seen each other… son. It looks… so nice.“

“Thank you, mother.“

I nodded to her politely.

She also smiled and returned to her seat as if she would no longer be bothered.

‘Now it’s time for you to come out. Lord! I have an objection~! ‘He said.’

“Then, from now on… the [Second Doljabi] event will begin! First, Hanseo…“

“Wait!!!! Lord! I have an objection!“

Just as I expected, there wasn’t a single difference between the lines and the lines of that day.

Han Tae-woo got up from his seat and came toward me.

Then he grabbed my shoulder and started laughing exaggeratedly, as if it was ridiculous.

“Haha… By the way, the head of the family is also joking! How can you give such a precious item to Han Seo-jin, who has not yet awakened?“

I wanted to hit this son of a bitch in the face with a backspin elbow right now.

There were a lot of eyes watching right now, so I kept my expression as calm as possible.

Yuri, who was standing next to the matriarch, came forward and tried to say something to Kim Hye-jin.

I winked at her and signaled.

‘It’s going according to plan.’

She nodded and put her hand into the long padding.

After strongly shaking off Han Tae-woo’s hand on my shoulder, I waited for the matriarch’s answer.

“Hmm… That’s definitely true. If you haven’t awakened, there’s not much point in giving me this item that I can’t use.“

“That’s right…! That’s exactly what I’m saying! Didn’t I get nothing because I didn’t wake up according to the rules? Don’t you all think this is unfair!!“

He looked back towards the audience and raised both hands high.

The traitors who followed Han Tae-woo shouted thunderously and jeered at me.

“That’s right, that’s right!!! What’s the use of items for a fool who hasn’t even awakened!!!“

“It would be better to give everything to genius prosecutor Han Yun-seo~!“

“What Taewoo Han said is correct! Lord!! Please consider again!“

When Kim Hye-jin raised one hand in the air, the noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

She spoke to me in a soft voice.

“My son, congratulations on being accepted into the academy… As Taew said, you cannot give a gift to a child who has not awakened. “

“That’s right~! So kick this guy out right now…“

‘Now is the time.’

I took out my sword from its scabbard and raised my katana.

At that moment, flames rose from the sword body and began to burn red.

The atmosphere inside the banquet hall started to become noisy.

The matriarch, youngest child, and other family members who were watching me were shocked and couldn’t take their eyes off the flame katana.

Han Tae-woo, who was standing next to me, looked completely astonished.

“What is this guy… Since when did he have that kind of ability…“

He looked at me with his mouth open and talking to himself.

I chuckled and put the blade into the sheath with controlled movements.

“I think this is enough to prove whether I am an awakened person or not, second brother. If the head of the family gives permission, I would like to receive the gift prepared by my mother with my youngest.“

“This…profit…This bastard…is good at such tricks…“

Han Tae-woo couldn’t believe it. No, I didn’t believe it.

How can a person change like that overnight?

He even had an awakening that even he couldn’t do.

“Ah… I’m just saying this just in case. Just because you couldn’t awaken, did you really think that I, too, would never be able to awaken again?“

“…Han Seo-jin… It would be better not to say anything carelessly just because your mouth is open…“

Men were originally born beings who were almost impossible to awaken.

He was like that, and so was his father, whom he killed.

So, of course, the same thing had to happen to Han Seo-jin, who was of lesser value than himself.

But that smile.

That abominable and belittling smile.

With that expression on his face, Han Seo-jin looks at him as if he feels sorry for him.

He was so angry that he wanted to tear him to death even now.

no. There was still a chance.

Even if I were to call it an awakening, it would have happened recently.

That katana must have been stolen like a rat from a magic item stored somewhere in the house.

Therefore, it was obvious that Han Seo-jin was an empty carriage with only a flashy exterior.

Even though it seems like the atmosphere is going in that bastard’s favor right now.

Everyone had to know.

Rather than knowing how to use a sword, that bastard has no choice but to be swallowed up by those flames and die a horrible death.

Or maybe he was just putting on a show by dousing the sword in gasoline and lighting it on fire.

Han Tae-woo looked at Han Seo-jin and the youngest member alternately with a secret smile.

“Good… Good… But I wonder if my younger brother knows how to swing a sword properly… If it’s as I expected, he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t cut off his own leg, right?“

As he gestured towards his bodyguards, they brought out a wooden practice sword and handed it to him.

‘I was going to beat you up with this myself if you were to misbehave… I’m glad I took care of it.’

He threw the wooden sword at Han Seo-jin and then turned to the head of the family.

“Matriarch! Then, if he really has the skills to be called an awakened person! Don’t you wonder if you have the skills to compete with our youngest… and prove that you are a student at Central Academy?“

The youngest looked at Han Seo-jin and the matriarch with a puzzled expression.

The matriarch nodded slowly as if what he said made sense.

Han Seo-jin lowered his gaze to the floor and stared at the wooden sword.

Anyone could see that he was pretending to be an awakened person with a made-up appearance, but he looked embarrassed when he actually tried to spar with the youngest.

‘You’re finished, Han Seo-jin. Here today you die socially. I will brand you as a fraudster who lied in front of the head of the family and pretended to be an awakened person…’

“How do you feel, matriarch? What if Han Seo-jin succeeds in making just one effective hit against the youngest in sparring! At the risk of my honor, I will return all my property and title to my family and disappear!“

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was getting more and more tense.

Han Seo-jin was silently holding the wooden sword and looking at the youngest with a distressed expression.

“…This body thinks… If you are truly an awakened person, I think you will be able to show the appropriate skills as Taew said. What do you think?“

I nodded and grabbed the wooden sword.

He immediately aimed his sword at Han Tae-woo’s neck and smiled in remorse.

As if he was just waiting for those words.

“You must keep those words just now. Brother.“

‘What… this bastard…? Why are you smiling…?’

Contrary to Taewoo Han’s expected reaction, he smiled confidently.

He took a step back without realizing it, but then approached the youngest person standing next to him, holding a wooden sword.

“Youngest… You know how much money I’ve poured into you so far… You must win. Show him all your skills. Otherwise… you know?“

He tapped the shoulder of the youngest, who was looking embarrassed, and walked towards the bodyguard.

Han Tae-woo crossed his arms and gave her a cold look.

Han Yun-seo took a deep breath, held the wooden sword, and looked at me.

“I won’t look after you just because you’re a man, brother. Because I have to protect my honor as a prosecutor.“

As soon as she held the sword, her mood began to completely change.

There, the cute youngest member, Han Yun-seo, a swordsman genius (劍鬼), was glaring at me.

I threw my suit jacket on the chair and motioned toward her.

“They won’t accept me just because I’m a girl, youngest child. So…“

As I tightly grasped the wooden sword, blue flames began to rise through the body of the sword.

“I’ll go with all my might, so be prepared.“

Dang dang dang~!

The bell rang, signaling the start of sparring.

I faced her while holding the wooden sword.

It was time to prove the skills I had honed for this day.
