I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 110
Changed South Korea (1)
Whoosh!
The disorienting shift in vision and the strange sensation coursing through his body.
In front of Baek Jin-woo, who had returned to the arena…
“Guild Master!”
“Jin-woo!”
“Waaaah! Big brother!”
“Hahaha! Well done!”
There were extremely excited guild members.
Unable to contain the emotions boiling up from their chests, they rushed toward Baek Jin-woo and all at once lifted him up in celebration.
‘Battle Royal 1st place!’
That incredible achievement was accomplished for the very first time under South Korea’s name.
“Waaaah!”
“Long live Baek Jin-woo!”
“Long live our Guild Master!”
This held tremendous meaning.
It would be recorded in history books to be talked about forever, becoming a legacy that would remain as South Korea’s living legend.
“Ah…”
Hong Ari unconsciously clasped her hands together tightly.
Even though she had seen and experienced it with her own eyes, she couldn’t believe it.
Really.
‘Our teacher…’
Was he not just comparable to Rachel, but actually capable of defeating her?
She could see Baek Jin-woo floating in the air, looking flustered.
After being tossed around two or three times.
Swish!
He performed a somersault in mid-air and landed on the outside.
“Hey hey hey, wait a minute, everyone calm down. Please calm down!”
Baek Jin-woo tried to restrain them.
“Anyone watching would think the league is over. Stop making such a fuss.”
Then he scolded the guild members.
The Battle Royal was just a group formation event match.
It didn’t even count toward league standings.
“How many kills did everyone get?”
Swoosh.
When Baek Jin-woo sharply scanned the guild members, the atmosphere instantly became solemn.
‘Damn it.’
‘Can’t we just celebrate when we want to celebrate?’
‘Does he really have to bring up kill counts at this moment?’
Just then, there was a scoreboard displayed on one side of the arena.
“Hong Ari 5 kills, Gi Jae-hyeok 5 kills, Kang Geon-ho 2 kills, Oh Sun-young 2 kills, Ji-ho 1 kill…?”
“…”
“…”
Everyone fell silent.
Compared to Baek Jin-woo’s 50 kills, their results were far too pitiful.
“Song Yeon-hee aside, the Ilwol brothers have 0 kills? Haven’t you been learning from me for about half a year now?”
“Haha, well…”
“We ran into big shots early on… We died without being able to do anything.”
Hwang Ju-won scratched his head.
“…Big shots?”
What big shots?
The real big shots called the 5 major powers didn’t even target South Korea, so what kind of big shots were they talking about?
Eventually, Baek Jin-woo spoke sternly.
“Don’t get too comfortable just because you became my disciples.”
They had luckily obtained the disciple positions that even the Five Emperors would beg for but wouldn’t receive, simply because they were on South Korea’s national team.
Moreover, Baek Jin-woo hadn’t taught them carelessly.
Along with Hunkyo, he had provided in-depth consulting and took pride in offering the world’s best advice.
“If you fall behind, you might not have a spot on next year’s national team. Don’t think being SKY members means this is the end.”
“I-I’ll keep that in mind.”
He understood their emotions.
The feeling of joy and satisfaction erupting like a volcano from their chests.
‘But.’
Not yet.
The real joy could wait until after finishing this league and grasping the title of ‘champion.’
Right now, they needed to review what went wrong and strengthen their forces even a little more.
That was what was best for them!
Just as everyone was calming their excitement at Baek Jin-woo’s words.
“Huh?”
“B-big brother, over there.”
Gi Jae-hyeok pointed behind them.
A blonde woman walking toward them.
“…Rachel?”
Baek Jin-woo immediately summoned his translation bird.
As Rachel approached with a stern expression, the surroundings began to stir.
‘It’s Rachel.’
‘Why is Rachel in front of the South Korean players?’
‘…Is she angry about this result?’
‘Well, she has reason to be angry. From what I heard, that summoned creature called Hunkyo really interfered properly…’
The players in the arena had all caught up on the broadcast situation through their phones during the break.
Otherwise, there would be no way to know what had happened during the Battle Royal.
“Baek Jin-woo.”
Stop!
Rachel’s lips curved up slightly as she stopped, extending her right hand.
A gesture asking for a handshake.
“Your summoned creature, Hunkyo… He really is good, isn’t he? I can’t match him.”
“Really?”
Baek Jin-woo tilted his head.
He still didn’t know what Hunkyo had done.
‘So Hunkyo met Rachel.’
Reading the atmosphere roughly, that seemed to be the case.
“Our Hunkyo is pretty awesome.”
Swoosh!
Baek Jin-woo extended his arm and clasped hands with her.
Rachel smiled.
“I won’t go down easily in the finals.”
The finals!
Rachel had mentioned the finals.
The impact of that mention was tremendous.
‘My goodness!’
‘Do they think South Korea will beat all five major powers and reach the finals?’
‘Well, after seeing that Jinugod video, it’s understandable.’
‘Still, he did win first place in Battle Royale.’
Murmur murmur.
The players whispered among themselves.
This mention would probably spread worldwide through player communities soon.
After a brief greeting with Rachel, Baek Jin-woo sat back in the corner.
The blinking message at the top of his vision had been bothering him.
[Hidden reward has arrived.]
[Would you like to check?]
[Y / N]
Hidden reward.
The one that only Rachel had received three times so far!
What could it be?
Baek Jin-woo fixed his gaze on Y.
Then.
Flash!
[Player ‘Baek Jin-woo’ has obtained 5 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls!]
Wh-what…?
Crazy…!
They’re giving me five Ultimate Summoning Scrolls just for winning?
The ultimate summoning scroll that gives a 1% chance to obtain an S-rank summon had appeared.
And five of them at that.
‘Wow, if this is the case.’
Rachel must have gotten 15 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls so far?
Of course, this was just speculation.
Battle Royale rewards could change every year.
I’ll have to ask Rachel about this separately later.
‘Anyway, I’m keeping these.’
He already had 7 Ultimate Summoning Scrolls.
Once a certain amount accumulated?
He was considering opening them all at once.
‘Still, I should collect at least 100… Then I could definitely get at least one S-rank, right? If I’m lucky, maybe even two.’
Though collecting 100 scrolls itself was unrealistic…
“Phew.”
If the Battle Royale reward was this good, what would the league championship reward be?
He had high expectations.
‘At this point, I can’t be satisfied with just the semifinals.’
A cold glint briefly flashed in Baek Jin-woo’s eyes as he smiled with raised corners of his mouth.
He still couldn’t gauge Rachel’s level exactly, but…
‘I’ll definitely win.’
Rachel’s honey-sucking days ended last year.
‘Now that I’m here…’
That’s over too.
Rachel suits the second-place position perfectly.
[Group formation begins!]
Now the league matches to enter the round of 16 would begin in earnest.
There were 9 groups.
Over about a week, the two teams with the highest scores from group league matches would advance to the round of 16…
Among the 18 advancing countries, the two with the lowest scores would be automatically eliminated.
[Whirrrr!]
Country names and numbers were listed on the electronic board.
South Korea, with the second-highest total Battle Royale kills, was in Group 2.
[Group 2 Roster]
[South Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Tanzania, Spain, Canada, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Malawi, Belgium]
Group 2 had a total of 10 countries assigned.
Based on Battle Royale rankings, South Korea was the strongest, followed by Indonesia and the Philippines.
“This looks really doable, doesn’t it?”
Hong Ari’s expression was bright.
The league format was the same.
Tournament style.
10 national representatives would fight in order, with player order being random.
Victory earned 3 points, defeat deducted 1 point.
If battle continued for more than 30 minutes, it was a draw worth 0 points.
“It would be best if hyung gets placed first and just kills everyone.”
Gi Jae-hyeok said, and Baek Jin-woo chuckled.
“That would be nice, but the placement is random.”
“Right.”
“But well.”
Baek Jin-woo continued.
“As you all know, the round of 16 is a sure thing. There’s no way I’ll lose.”
It might sound cocky, but it was the truth.
Whenever he was placed?
The moment Baek Jin-woo appeared, it would be a complete sweep.
The national team members couldn’t help but feel at ease.
“For now.”
Baek Jin-woo gathered the guild members in one place.
“The round of 16 is a given, so don’t even think about it. What you learned during training. Show that to me.”
Show it to him, not the citizens!
The guild members listened to those words nervously.
He said it before, and he said it again this time.
‘Guild Master isn’t a charity worker.’
‘He’s someone who can cut us anytime if we’re not capable enough.’
‘SKY has 10 members now, but if it grows later, we could really get cut from the national team then.’
‘Look at Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo. Guild Master can put even non-rankers on the national team anytime if they show ability.’
There was only one reason Baek Jin-woo could do this.
Because his individual power was too overwhelming.
Due to the tournament nature, having one overpowered person could somehow produce results.
Baek Jin-woo thought to himself.
‘The reason I’m raising them.’
The league was definitely not the final goal.
It was because he wanted to protect his loved ones from the Chaos Dragon that would be updated later, unpredictable geopolitical changes, and all potential dangers.
‘For that.’
A strong group of players who could easily win championships even without Baek Jin-woo needed to be completed.
Eventually, they would need to learn control that could easily beat even the Five Emperors.
Otherwise, there was no reason to teach them.
“I’m someone who values my time preciously.”
“…”
“Therefore, whether you’re worth me spending my precious time to teach… prove it in this league.”
Gulp.
At those words that could be seen as cold, all the national team members swallowed nervously.
“Waaaaah!”
“Uhahahaha!”
South Korea was truly in festival mode.
Everyone wore red clothes, came out to the streets to dance and drink.
On the large electronic billboards, Baek Jin-woo highlight compilations and the league continued to be broadcast live.
– Hong Ari! Hong Ari, selected as the frontrunner, is taking down Venezuela’s 8th Player and continuing her unstoppable momentum!
– Amazing! That’s the person who handles A-grade Phoenix best in the world! Isn’t that Hong Ari?
– Her control is completely different from last year. Could this be the Baek Jin-woo effect!
The first league opponent was Venezuela.
A summoning weak nation that once stood shoulder to shoulder with South Korea.
South Korea’s starter was Hong Ari.
Naturally, it was random assignment.
Hong Ari, who came out as the first batter, showed different control than before.
Did Baek Jin-woo’s words to prove herself scratch at her heart?
She showed Venezuela’s Player the difference in class and thoroughly dominated them.
– Ahhh! The opponent’s attacks can’t reach her at all. The Phoenix burns down another summoned creature!
– Thanks to the Phoenix’s immortality skill, even if it dies, it revives after time passes, right?
– But Venezuela can’t trigger that immortality skill even once! There’s no way to break through!
If Baek Jin-woo was the highlight of Battle Royal, then Hong Ari was the highlight of this first league match.
Passersby were all talking about Hong Ari, praising the transformed national team’s skills.
And.
– All-kill!
– All-kiiiiiill!
– It’s Hong Ari’s all-kill!
– That all-kill that only countries like England, Japan, and the United States showed us – even if it’s Venezuela, our South Korea has achieved it!
South Korea’s first all-kill!
That glory was claimed by SKY’s sub-guild master, Hong Ari.
