I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 019

Yu Ji-a (3)

Early morning.

– Is that all you’ve got? Move more, more, more, more. Push yourself to the very limit. Only then can you grow.

The vacant lot was filled with the sweat of summoned creatures.

– Huff, huff.

– Whew, whoa…!

The panting sounds of the drooping Ramba and Pokryong’s groans.

Baek Jin-woo didn’t know what Hunkyo was training them in, but figuring he’d handle it well, he also started exercising.

– My lord, doing it that way won’t allow your muscles to grow efficiently. Like this. Yes, you need to maintain that posture.

The funny thing was.

Even Baek Jin-woo couldn’t stop the training maniac Hunkyo.

Upper body, lower body, core muscles, and even cardiovascular ability.

He taught methods for balanced growth, and Baek Jin-woo listened attentively and accepted them.

Hunkyo was a summoned creature truly born to become the strongest instructor.

‘Maybe I’ll unlock some kind of potential ability later too?’

Whatever.

If he could improve, that was good enough.

It was while he was exercising like this for a while.

– Everyone quiet.

Hunkyo made everyone shut their mouths.

Then he approached Baek Jin-woo and bowed his head.

– My lord, someone is approaching.

“Okay.”

Baek Jin-woo wiped his sweat with the towel he’d brought and stood up.

It was obvious who would come.

Yu Ji-a.

He’d come out here today all because of her.

‘By the way.’

Hunkyo, this guy.

His sensing ability is pretty good?

As much as he forcibly trained others, he also led by example himself.

As a result, his level rose quickly and his stat increases were considerable.

Truly befitting an EX-grade.

At Hunkyo’s words that someone was approaching, Ramba and Pokryong also covered their mouths with both hands with a snap!

No talking in front of others.

That was Player Baek Jin-woo’s absolute command.

Not long after.

“Whew, whew.”

Yu Ji-a, who had climbed up while taking deep breaths, wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“I felt it last time too, but this place is quite high up.”

“You came?”

“Yes, were you exercising from early morning? Oh my, your summoned creatures are here too.”

Looking at the summoned creatures sprawled out in the vacant lot, Yu Ji-a’s eyes sparkled.

“So that’s your team? I’ve seen Mini-Kong and the Golden Fairy a few times, but the others are new to me.”

Ramba, Hunkyo, Pokryong.

There was no way Yu Ji-a would know those three.

They were the only ones of their kind in the entire world.

Even those rare humanoid summoned creatures!

“Haha, yes. I’ll explain more later, but these are my main forces.”

“I see. First, let me give you a gift. I came all the way here to give you that.”

Whooom!

When Yu Ji-a opened her hand, light leaked out.

[Player ‘Yu Ji-a’ proposes a trade.]

[Please carefully check the other party’s proposal.]

Battle of Summoners, which had become reality, supported trades between players.

The status window executed trades to prevent fraud or scamming, and curses would befall if promised compensation couldn’t be exchanged.

The curses were powerful and could even lead to death at worst, so special caution was needed.

[Yu Ji-a: Combat Security Officer (C-grade), Priest of Radiance (C-grade), Spotted Komodo (B-grade), Wind Falcon (B-grade), Titanium Golem (B-grade), Horned Fairy (C-grade), Frost Cat (C-grade), Sky Dolphin (C-grade), Celestial Wyvern (B-grade), Lava Drake (C-grade), Lava Drake (C-grade), Lava Drake (C-grade)]

[Baek Jin-woo: No compensation.]

Both parties’ trade lists appeared.

[Do you accept Player ‘Yu Ji-a’s’ proposal?]

[Y/N]

Terms with no reason to refuse.

‘She really gathered all of this.’

When Baek Jin-woo nodded, summoned creatures piled up in his inventory.

Now all of those belonged to Baek Jin-woo!

The members who would train intensively with Hunkyo from today had increased.

“Thank you. This is truly a valuable gift. I mean it.”

“Hehe, this much is nothing. We’ve decided to become family now.”

Yu Ji-a smiled gently and licked her lips.

“Then shall we have a proper talk from now on?”

Yu Ji-a delivered information quickly and accurately.

The management’s name was “Yubak.”

She said they named it after Yu Ji-a and Baek Jin-woo’s surnames.

70% of the company’s shares belonged to Baek Jin-woo, and Yu Ji-a would take 25%.

Then what about the remaining 5%?

That was Park Chang-seok’s portion.

It was compensation for helping “Yubak” grow while establishing himself at headquarters.

And it was also a gift.

‘Since his contribution in discovering Baek Jin-woo was great.’

Of course, Park Chang-seok was a congressman so he had the obligation to disclose his assets to the public, but Yu Ji-a had ways around everything.

‘Just bind it with a contract.’

The player-to-player trade contract, known to be the most reliable.

The condition that he would transfer the 5% company shares when he later quit being a congressman was sufficient, and Park Chang-seok readily agreed to that proposal.

“Anyway, Baek Jin-woo is the company’s largest shareholder, and I’ll become the company’s representative. The advisor will be Congressman Park Chang-seok. And as employees, we plan to hire Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop under good conditions.”

“Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop… aren’t they people from headquarters?”

“They all resigned together this morning. When we guaranteed triple their existing salary, there’s no way they could endure without submitting resignation letters.”

Triple meant 3 times.

Grandfather used to say.

Don’t be stingy with money when it comes to good talent.

Park Chang-seok also disbanded the much-criticized 【Talent Management Team】 and decided to focus on his usual work as before.

Letting the stupid headquarters manage Baek Jin-woo would be treason?

“But.”

Baek Jin-woo asked cautiously.

“Is it okay to give me as much as 70%?”

It was nice.

But it was too much.

Should he say it felt a bit burdensome?

“Even though I provided the money, the essence of our Yubak is you, Baek Jin-woo. Surely when you become famous, other companies, corporations, or even nations might reach out. But I’m certain. They will never give you more than 50% of the shares.”

This is natural.

The moment over 50% of shares are transferred, voting rights become meaningless, and it essentially becomes Baek Jin-woo’s company.

What kind of fool would hand over their company right after establishing it?

“But why is Ms. Yu Ji-a…”

“It’s my own kind of bet.”

“A bet…”

“I’ll reliably take 25% of the money the company earns. Anyway, as long as I work hard and make reasonable decisions, the majority shareholder won’t refuse, right? I’m confident. I also have the ability to maximize the value of that 25%.”

Besides, since it’s essentially a one-person company, voting rights aren’t that important.

If Baek Jin-woo, who is that one person, doesn’t like something, won’t all decisions fall through anyway!

‘What’s important is ultimately the relationship.’

She would slightly lower her own greed and strengthen their relationship.

When relationships are strong, they don’t waver due to conditions or other temptations.

That was the strategy Yu Ji-a had decided to use.

“I’m grateful for this.”

Baek Jin-woo carefully examined the contract.

Even though he had been an ordinary person, he was someone who had reached the pinnacle of a game.

He could filter out problematic clauses.

‘This is incredibly clean.’

Rather, it was set up so favorably for Baek Jin-woo that he wondered if this was really okay.

“Should I put my seal here?”

“Yes.”

“Then please take care of me, President Yu.”

“Of course.”

It was just as Yubak Management was about to be established.

Whoosh!

It was then that Hunkyo, who had been silently watching his master’s conversation, suddenly shot out.

His direction was toward the nearby bushes.

“What, what is it?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure either.”

Baek Jin-woo and Yu Ji-a were startled.

Soon after.

“Kyaaah!”

Some woman’s scream echoed through the air.

Rustle, rustle!

Hunkyo emerged from the bushes, each hand gripping the ankles of two beings.

In his left hand was a Shadow Elf (C-grade).

In his right hand was Baek A-jin.

Silent Hunkyo’s expression seemed to say he had caught those who were eavesdropping on his master’s conversation.

Of course, Baek A-jin was surrounded by a protective barrier, so there would be no physical damage.

“No way.”

Bewilderment crossed Baek Jin-woo’s expression.

“Why are you here?”

“Who is this person…”

“Ah, this is my younger sister.”

This girl.

Don’t tell me she’s been listening to our conversation this whole time?

Baek A-jin was bewildered.

Beyond bewildered, her heart kept pounding.

It was already surprising enough that Yu Ji-a had appeared in a place like this.

‘My goodness.’

And she was on her way to see my brother.

How does that make sense?

What connection could South Korea’s top chaebol have with our family!

She absolutely couldn’t pass by without seeing this, so she hid nearby.

The Shadow Elf is a summoned creature specialized in stealth.

She thought deceiving two Players would be nothing.

‘However.’

They were saying something, but she couldn’t hear the exact content.

One thing was certain.

The atmosphere between the two was very good.

‘What is this.’

This wasn’t the kind of feeling you get when secretly watching your brother on a date.

This was horror.

The sense of disconnect that made Baek Jin-woo, who she thought was ordinary, seem like he lived in a different world!

That sense of disconnect was bound to grow even larger.

Because someone who appeared to be Baek Jin-woo’s summoned creature was rapidly approaching her.

‘He saw through the stealth?’

This was C-grade.

Even decent B-grades couldn’t easily detect a Shadow Elf when it was seriously hiding.

But clearly.

That armored summoned creature was running while looking directly at this location.

‘I need to escape.’

Baek A-jin signaled to the Shadow Elf.

However.

Hunkyo’s speed was beyond imagination.

Like a toad snatching a fly, he approached at tremendous speed and caught the elf’s ankle, lifting it up.

Swish!

The Shadow Elf also tried to react nimbly.

Thud, thump!

The elf’s body stiffened from a light flicking touch.

He had perfectly subdued it by striking pressure points.

‘Crazy.’

Baek A-jin had never seen such an absurd summoned creature.

She enjoyed watching Player League too, but this kind of combat ability was…

And soon after.

“Kyaaah!”

Hunkyo subdued Baek A-jin as well.

‘Ah, damn.’

Baek A-jin despaired.

She had planned to watch for a bit and then run away.

But everything got completely messed up.

“So.”

Baek Jin-woo muttered in a bewildered voice.

“You recognized Ms. Yu Ji-a, and since you’re usually a fan, you followed her?”

“No! It wasn’t following. I was just curious so I went after her.”

“That’s called following.”

“…”

“And you followed her, but I was there, and you were so curious you couldn’t stand it, so you secretly hid?”

“Yes! That’s right!”

Finally, Baek A-jin admitted it.

“What about you, oppa? You look like you need more explaining than I do?”

Ha.

Baek Jin-woo let out an internal sigh.

This.

This has become troublesome.

What kind of twist of fate is this?

He had planned to tell her eventually, but he got caught way too soon.

“How does oppa know Yu Ji-a… -nim, and what’s with that ridiculous summoned creature? It definitely subdued my Shadow Elf in less than 5 seconds! Does that even make sense? And this is my oppa who woke up from a coma less than two months ago? There’s no plausibility, absolutely none!”

“Slowly, slowly.”

Baek Jin-woo looked at Yu Ji-a with a troubled expression.

“I’m sorry. I forgot that my sister would know this place too.”

“Fufu, it’s fine. Since she’s Baek Jin-woo-ssi’s sister, I was planning to greet her soon anyway, so this works out well.”

Huh?

Ah…

I think I saw something written in the contract.

Dedicated management for Baek Jin-woo, covering even family members?

“R-really?”

It was his sister who was surprised.

“Yu… Ji-a-nim wants to greet me?”

An ecstatic expression on Baek A-jin’s face that even Baek Jin-woo was seeing for the first time.

It was understandable.

She was among the highest tier of people his sister had always admired.

“First.”

Baek Jin-woo organized the situation.

“I’ll stamp the seal right now.”

Press!

He stamped the seal he was originally going to use in several places, and they each took one of the two contracts.

“Let’s save the more detailed discussion for next time, and I think I should spend time with my sister first.”

“Yes, understood. I’ll call you.”

“Okay.”

Baek A-jin couldn’t understand this situation.

Not at all.
