I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 168
2nd Generation Acceptance Announcement
‘Kyaaaaa!’
Even while turning on the broadcast, Han Yu-na cheered inwardly.
100 interns.
Only 4 of them passed, and she was one of them!
‘Moreover.’
– You can continue broadcasting from now on. Instead, please take the lead in promoting how amazing our SKY is.
Even getting permission from Yu Ji-a, whom she had always respected…
Wow.
She couldn’t believe it.
She was naturally excited, her smile stretching from ear to ear.
– Oh right, there’s also the announcement of the 2nd generation newcomers who passed this time, right? It’s hard to hold a press conference for that, so let’s just do it through broadcast starting today.
Han Yu-na nodded her head vigorously.
She had realized while training here for a month.
That Yu Ji-a was the actual leader of SKY.
“I’ll show you the best… no, the greatest broadcast! Loyalty!”
Han Yu-na bowed in the most respectful manner she could manage, then immediately turned on the broadcast.
That was right now.
[‘Aso Love’ has donated ‘500,000 won’.]
[Announce it! Announce it! Announce it!]
[‘Current Reporter’ has donated ‘100,000 won’.]
[Waiting for the scoop. Please hurry. I’m getting dizzy.]
[‘Question Mark Man’ has donated ‘300,000 won’.]
[Are the 2nd generation going to the National Team? Do they hold separate competitions internally?]
Donations were pouring in continuously.
It wasn’t big money for her anyway.
Now Han Yu-na was SKY.
Even just a tiny portion of the bonus from the guild would be enough for three generations to live on.
For smooth broadcast operation, she had set donations to 100,000 won minimum.
“Alright, first! This is the first announcement, okay? I’ll do it when we get more viewers. Just wait a bit.”
She skillfully stalled for time.
The viewer count was already high.
[Viewers: 121,440]
Already around 120,000.
But she instinctively knew.
If she just killed time for 30 minutes here, about 600,000 would gather—five times the current number.
‘This is really unbelievable.’
More than half of them would probably include people who usually don’t even know what streaming is.
That’s how high the domestic interest in SKY was.
And really.
[Viewers: 351,120]
It kept growing.
[Viewers: 552,165]
It reached the point where the server was lagging.
Now was the time.
Close the room.
And make the announcement.
It didn’t matter if some people couldn’t get in.
Anyway, the moment it’s announced, it would spread throughout the world.
“Phew.”
Han Yu-na took a deep breath while looking at herself on screen.
Countless viewers were watching and focusing on her.
“You’ve all been waiting, right? I’m announcing it now?”
└ Hurryyyy!
└ Did you at least pass? lololol
└ She must have passed since she’s broadcasting, right? SKY isn’t some small guild.
└ Well, it is small if you just look at the number of guild members ㅋㅋㅋ But that’s because each guild member is a big shot.
└ For real lol
└ Let’s go~~~!
└ Let’s gooo!
“First.”
She raised her thumb and then pointed it back at herself.
“Of course I passed! Wow, I really thought I was going to die, you know?”
└ Kya!
└ Insane!
└ As expecteeeed!
└ Really? You really passed?
└ Hahahaha that makes no sense for real hahaha
“Representative Yu Ji-a also gave permission for the broadcast. From now on, I’ll be taking on the role of SKY’s official communication channel, so please treat me well!”
└ Wow
└ SKY informant?
└ If Luna takes charge, it would definitely feel more approachable.
└ That’s amazing ㄷㄷ
└ I can’t get used to this… My little personal BJ… has risen to National Team candidate!
National Team candidate.
She didn’t know if she could participate in the 5th World League.
But looking at Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo who had grown rapidly, you never know.
The comment reactions were explosive.
The chat window went wild, and countless donations poured in.
Along with brief chatter, Han Yu-na, who had summarized what happened with Yu Ji-a, began introducing her peers in earnest.
“This is Seo I-yun unnie!”
Swoosh.
Seo I-yun, who had been waiting behind, revealed herself.
└ Oh.
└ Amazing.
└ Who’s this??
└ Seo I-yun? Must be unranked?
└ First time seeing her but she’s pretty?
└ As expected, SKY class that picks based on looks!
Picking based on looks was a kind of meme.
Hong Ari, Oh Sun-young, Song Yeon-hee, Hwang Ji-woo…
All guild members were quite the characters.
“Hello.”
When Seo I-yun smiled gently and waved her palm.
└ Wow;;
└ Our country’s future is this bright!
└ There’s going to be controversy overseas again.
└ My eyes! My eyes are blessed! Sister!
The viewers’ reactions were quite positive.
Han Yu-na had a brief talk-show style conversation with her, then introduced the next contestant.
“Everyone keeps going on about faces, but that’s it for the women! Now it’s our big brother Dae-hyeok! Come on out!”
“Yes.”
The zoom pulled back.
Such tall height and build that he made Han Yu-na and Seo I-yun look like shorties!
And incredible muscles.
“I’m Kang Dae-hyeok.”
└ Whoa.
└ This guy looks seriously tough.
└ But I see this person is also a non-ranker?
└ He’s famous in the industry though.
└ Really?
└ Yeah, a friend of mine is in a major guild, and he said after seeing the last roster that the right people moved up, said his control skills are exceptional. He was probably at Baekho before too?
└ Oh!
“And now for the last one!”
Han Yu-na’s gaze turned.
└ The last one?
└ So they picked 4 people?
└ Wow, 4 people in a year… Getting in is fucking hard lol
“Someone you all know! The Data Machine! Jeong Si-woo!”
└ Nice!
└ As expected!
└ God Si-woo!
└ I knew he’d get picked lol
└ Jeong Si-woo is the real deal
Everyone reacted like they saw it coming.
One of the most talked-about figures in this test.
That was Jeong Si-woo.
Domestic ranking 11th.
The unfortunate man who almost never became a national team member because of SKY at the threshold.
He had broken his fate and opened SKY’s doors.
“Now, these three are the peers who’ll be with me from now on!”
The broadcast continued.
Han Yu-na.
Seo I-yun.
Kang Dae-hyeok.
Jeong Si-woo.
The SKY 2nd generation roster spread rapidly.
The only broadcast time allowed to Han Yu-na was during free time.
During training time?
She had to focus solely on training.
And extremely intensively at that.
“Huff, huff!”
The day after passing.
They began physical training without even properly toasting their success.
That’s the life of a SKY Guild member.
It’s daily routine.
But no one complains.
They just train like breathing and eating.
More precisely, only those who can do that survive and enter this place!
However.
“Hmm.”
Hong Ari, who had been watching from afar, crossed her arms and pondered while holding her chin.
‘Without Hunkyo.’
Proper consulting wasn’t possible.
Baek Jin-woo and Hunkyo were indispensable to SKY.
No matter how well the 1st generation did, they were ultimately Baek Jin-woo’s disciples.
If Baek Jin-woo consulted on which summons suited them, which combinations to use?
They’d purchase those with guild funds.
Also, Hunkyo’s training would draw out their potential abilities.
But right now, that itself wasn’t possible.
Naturally, all they could do was physical training and basic control practice.
‘We did select them, but.’
It seemed difficult to deploy them directly in the 5th World League.
Since Baek Jin-woo wasn’t returning.
‘Or maybe not?’
She wasn’t sure though.
Didn’t Song Yeon-hee and Hwang Ji-woo also participate around late fall?
Maybe he’d return later and immediately raise them to ranker level.
“Sigh.”
She let out a sigh.
‘Just when.’
At the same time, she squeezed her eyes shut.
‘When are you coming back, Baek Jin-woo.’
Iron Bear, guild master’s office.
Plop!
Beskof, who had finished morning training, slumped onto the sofa and watched a clip.
‘SKY 2nd generation.’
A video of some Asian woman laughing and chatting while announcing the successful candidates.
‘This kind of video is trending best.’
It wasn’t just best level.
It was becoming a hot topic worldwide.
Something about the fun of seeing future big shots in their rookie days?
Tsk.
Unable to stand watching, he put away his phone.
The public didn’t know.
The fact that three months had already passed since Rachel and Baek Jin-woo hadn’t returned.
In a world where even one day’s delay from the Tower of Trials triggers an emergency.
And a week means a death sentence.
Hiding that fact for 3 months?
‘That can’t be possible.’
Beskof picked up his phone again.
He closed the damn video and opened the Five Emperors group chat.
Five Emperors.
Such a ridiculously childish name.
Fortunately, they weren’t all idiots.
[Sugoi: Rachel?]
[Sugoi: Why isn’t Rachel answering?]
[Sugoi: Has anyone tried contacting her separately? She’s not even answering personal calls?]
After this conversation left from before, he noticed something was strange.
That’s natural.
If it were the usual Rachel, she would have replied immediately.
[Jenos: Rachel seems to have met with an accident.]
[Sugoi: I investigated too. They’re keeping it well hidden, but no one’s seen her since the Tower of Trials.]
[Baekcheon: Good heavens, this is unbelievable. How could Sister Rachel…]
That old man.
Still keeping up his act.
Chuckle.
Beskof, who had laughed, made separate phone calls.
To Jenos, Sugoi, and Baekcheon respectively.
The leader was dead.
Then it was time to choose another leader to guide the world.
Moscow Man was simply curious.
What thoughts they might have.
The phone call results.
– Hehe, so. You’re saying we should now share the league rewards nicely among ourselves?
Baekcheon Zhu Rongtai agreed.
– Well, everyone who knew already knew that the 1st place league reward was an S-grade summon, right? Monopolizing that was a bit too much from Sister.
“That’s right.”
– Well, do as you wish. However, if Rachel returns… we’ll have to discuss it again then.
“Hehe, that’s enough.”
Satisfaction.
This level of reaction was sufficient.
Then what about Sugoi?
Actually, if he wanted to change anything, Sugoi’s agreement was most important.
Excluding Rachel, Sugoi was the strongest in one-on-one combat.
– Not only Rachel, but Baek Jin-woo disappeared too? Isn’t that a rather serious situation?
“It is serious.”
– Hmm, your opinion isn’t bad either. But let me think about it first.
“Alright.”
Beskof wasn’t in a hurry.
Just saying his opinion wasn’t bad! That one phrase was enough.
Next was Jenos.
– What kind of dangerous idea is that, Beskof?
Oh my.
There was clear displeasure in his voice.
But Beskof calmly continued speaking.
“I’m just saying I don’t like the way Rachel was doing things.”
– Unpleasant to hear. Share the rewards? I feel like a communist. I’m American, Beskof. That method is completely different from how I’ve lived.
“Is that so.”
Tsk.
Beskof clicked his tongue.
That shameless bastard.
After having everything taken by Rachel, was he consoling himself that she earned it fairly?
“You’re quite different from the Americans I know. A country that can do anything for national interest, wasn’t that America?”
– What?
“Starting wars if necessary, betraying allies too. You know well that the free market America holds so sacred is ultimately a structure where the establishment sweeps up everything, right? Right now we’re the strong ones. I’m not trying to have an ideological fight about communism or whatever, Jenos. I’m just saying let’s share well among the strong.”
– …
He doesn’t answer.
Hearing that, Beskof thoroughly distinguished between friend and foe.
Whether this person would be beneficial later or not.
‘It’s been too peaceful until now.’
Well, an answer isn’t necessary.
“If that’s your opinion, fine, Jenos. I wasn’t trying to start an argument.”
Just finish quietly without provoking.
‘For now.’
Click.
Beskof’s eyes turned cold as he hung up the phone after wrapping things up appropriately.
