I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 133
S-Grade Summon (3)
“Yeah, go back.”
When she was rejected for the third time, Olivia felt this wouldn’t be easy.
Clearly, Baek Jin-woo needed this guaranteed summoning scroll (A-grade).
However, he didn’t feel the need to trade away an S-grade summon for it.
‘Money won’t work.’
Come to think of it, that made sense.
A guy who built such a magnificent headquarters to live in wouldn’t be short on money.
In fact, from now on, he’d only be raking in more money.
Since he was world ranking 1st.
‘In his own country, even if he made and sold shit, the citizens would buy it all up.’
The same would be true worldwide.
There were probably many companies that could offer hundreds of billions to use Baek Jin-woo as their advertising model.
Because he was a man worth that much.
‘Hmm.’
Then what should she offer?
Olivia, with a headache, called Rachel.
– Yeah.
“Sis.”
She roughly explained what had happened.
Just like her sister said, he definitely seemed interested, but he was asking for something more.
And it didn’t seem to be money.
– Hmm.
Rachel also began thinking seriously.
– That is good news though. We have almost no way to obtain S-grades in the future… The fact that he might give one up.
“Right. I was surprised too.”
– For now, I think we need to match his price as much as possible?
“Ha, I figured as much, right?”
Olivia irritably ruffled her hair.
“First off, my entire fortune is 50 trillion, you know? I’m thinking of throwing it all in… Isn’t there anything more you can support me with? I think I need to gather some fairly unique things. Rare and valuable items that money can’t buy.”
Olivia was really something too.
She had offered Baek Jin-woo 10, 20, 30 trillion, and said her entire fortune was 50 trillion.
For reference, the world’s richest person had assets of around 300 trillion, so it really was an enormous amount of money.
– Support, huh. I’ll talk to the others first. You think about it too.
“Got it, thanks. Sis.”
At that moment.
Baek Jin-woo and Yu Ji-a were sitting on a bench having a casual conversation about future business.
The rest of the guild members were all gathered in one place.
“So… we’re really going to go for it?”
Hong Ari had her arms crossed with an expression that said no matter how she thought about it, this wasn’t right.
The rest were all in the middle of trying to persuade her.
“Noona, think about it. We can’t sell this anywhere anyway! Are we going to sell it in our country? Who would buy it! Only Yubak or SKY! Are we going to sell it overseas then? That would be a real outflow of national wealth no matter how much money we get!”
“Right. In the end, it’s a summoning scroll we have to use… If we’re too scared to use it, we’ll have to save it forever. Have you ever heard the saying that if you save things, they turn to shit?”
“Hmm, I also think 23.77% is worth trying. Whoever gets drawn, our guild’s strength will increase too.”
Wow, even Song Yeon-hee?
Chomp.
Hong Ari bit her lip.
‘Why is everyone like this?’
If they were going to do it, they should each do it themselves, so why were they grabbing onto hers too…
“Besides, we’re going to win the next league again, right? We’ll get 27 more scrolls then, so we can give Guild Master 2 scrolls to draw S-grades and tear open the remaining 25 again! Hahaha!”
Hwang Ju-won was laughing heartily, seemingly enjoying himself.
“And you know what.”
Then he lowered his voice to whisper for no reason.
“Olivia’s visit this time. It seems she came to negotiate for Guild Master to give her an S-grade summon.”
“R-really?”
Hong Ari was startled.
Half the guild members were surprised, while the other half nodded as if they already knew.
Baek Jin-woo didn’t particularly hide it.
If they ran into him and asked, he just told them everything.
“…Jin-woo is going to give that up?”
“Probably with high probability.”
“Wow, how could he…”
Thunderbird.
Hong Ari had never seen such a cool summon in her life.
Honestly, it looked even cooler than Phoenix.
He was just going to give that away?
“Our Guild Master isn’t an idiot either, so he’ll receive appropriate compensation. More enticing compensation.”
“Well… I suppose so?”
Hearing those words, desire suddenly surged up.
Should she really try drawing?
Who knows?
With a 1% probability… it might really come out.
“But… can I tear mine last?”
“Sure, sounds good!”
“Of course! Then shall we go do it right now?”
“Ooooooh!”
The excited guild members gathered in one place.
The ultimate summoning scrolls they gathered totaled exactly 27!
“Let’s gooooo!”
“Even if we can’t eat, we go! Go!”
“Right, we’re the people of go-stop! Triple go, blood loss, let’s shake things up!”
Hong Ari shook her head watching the chaotic guild members.
Were these really world rankers?
They were just gambling addicts…
Tsk tsk.
What?
If you save things, they turn to shit?
What nonsense.
There’s an old saying.
Gambling leads to family ruin.
“Huaaaaa.”
“Uuuuuuh…”
“…This can’t be.”
In Yubaek City Garden, eight guild members were slumped over, recreating Edvard Munch’s The Scream.
Eight people excluding Hong Ari!
A total of 24 scrolls.
“How can nothing come out for 24 scrolls! They’re all B-grade too, B-grade!”
“Huuuuh! Even the heavens are indifferent!”
The result was everyone got nothing.
It can’t be helped.
[B-rank: 94%]
[A-rank: 5%]
[S-rank: 1%]
No matter how priceless it may be.
In the end, the probability is like this.
One of the biggest reasons why “Battle of Summoners” was a hell game.
“Ha.”
Hong Ari made an expression that said ‘I knew it’.
She clearly saw this future coming, so why didn’t they know?
Grab!
Hwang Ju-won grabbed Hong Ari’s forearm.
His expression while holding on reminded her of a mummy that had all its blood sucked dry by a vampire.
“Ah, why are you doing this!”
Hong Ari forcefully shook off his hand.
“…Now, now Hong Ari, you’re the only one left!”
“Noona, please, only you can pull one!”
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s gooooo!”
“Only if you pull one can we maintain the 24.77%!”
Ha.
What kind of bullshit is that, really.
Don’t those guys even know the law of independent trials?
Whether it’s coins, dice, or this kind of gacha.
The events that occur in each trial are independent of each other.
Since they’ve all already failed… the probability of her pulling something from the remaining three cards is…
1 – (0.99)^3 = 0.0297.
Only about 3%.
What to do?
Should she do it?
Actually, she has no choice.
She already promised them.
‘Right, who knows? It might work out, right?’
Let’s try opening one first.
If it doesn’t work after opening it, then she’ll have the right to say something to them.
Rip!
She tore open one first.
[‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’ is being used!]
[Player ‘Hong Ari’ has obtained the summon ‘Vocalist’ (B-rank)!]
As expected.
B-rank.
When there was no lightning effect that appears for S-rank, the other guild members became dejected again.
“…It doesn’t seem to be our day.”
“We should have listened to Ari. Should we have just saved up more before opening them?”
“Huuuuuu!”
If sighs could really bring twilight, it would have fallen dozens of times already.
Ah, whatever!
Riiiip!
Hong Ari irritably tore open another summoning scroll.
No backing out now.
Since she’s already started, she’ll see it through to the end!
[‘Ultimate Summoning Scroll’ is being used!]
[Player ‘Hong Ari’ has obtained the summon ‘Cloud Sorcerer’ (B-rank)!]
Same as expected!
“Aaaaaaaah!”
“Noooooo!”
Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho, feeling sorry, were taking even more exaggerated actions.
Now even those guys aren’t cute anymore.
“…”
Hong Ari, almost in despair, muttered desolately.
“I’ll go for one more right away.”
Rip!
And then.
Rummmmmmmble!
Suddenly a tremendous roar echoed through the space, and the sky darkened.
“What, what is it!”
“What the hell?”
The eyes of the guild members who had been crying out snapped open.
Everyone stopped despairing and stood up from their seats.
‘Cr, crazy.’
Hong Ari was also frozen in place with both hands still holding the torn pieces.
Really?
Is it real?
Is it really coming out like this at the very end?
Flash!
Lightning burst out from between the clouds, and bzzzzt! The current discharged from the sky gathered and struck down toward the summoning scroll.
At the same time.
Whoooooosh!
The dark sky began to be dyed with a burning red light.
“What, what is that!”
“That, that is…!”
A burning heat that felt like it would set the whole body on fire!
Under the brightened sunlight, red feathers like a firebird began to shine even more brilliantly as they caught the light.
– Kirararararararara!
[Player ‘Hong Ari’ has obtained the summon ‘Jujak’ (S-rank)!]
Jujak!
One of the Four Divine Beasts, same as Baekho!
“Ah, ahhhhh…”
Hong Ari looked up at the sky with an ecstatic expression.
Of all things to come out.
A fire attribute summon that perfectly matched her came out.
“…Is this for real?”
“Really…? That’s Jujak, right?”
“Is it rigged, is it Jujak, what is it.”
In the sight of the guild members staring in a daze was a single bird.
A sharp beak and beautiful flaming body.
Its dazzlingly bright flaming tail seemed to paint an endless twilight.
And that’s not all?
Flap!
With one beat of its massive wings, it felt like the sky shook and the earth trembled.
– Kirrrrr….
The Jujak that had been freely soaring through the sky slowly descended and landed in front of Hong Ari.
‘Crazy….’
‘I think something even more intense than the Thunder Bird has appeared?’
‘What’s with those eyes? It looks like it could crush everything with just its gaze.’
‘I’m jealous. Seriously jealous.’
Its majesty was indeed so intense that it couldn’t be fully expressed in words.
The master of fire.
Hong Ari shouted with a trembling voice.
“…Status window.”

Wow.
Insane.
Is this truly what you’d call a divine beast?
It had such ridiculous skills that you could call the Thunder Bird trivial in comparison.
“…Really.”
Really.
This is mine?
My summon?
This Jujak that’s the superior version of the Perfect Phoenix (A-rank)?
“What’s going on?”
It must have been quite a commotion, as Baek Jin-woo came running out too.
“…Crazy, don’t tell me you guys pulled another S-rank?”
Even Olivia came over and was shocked.
That’s right.
SKY Guild had achieved the remarkable feat of pulling two S-rank summons in a single day.
