I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 193

Gale Slayer (1)

【Demon Realm Conquest】 Part 1.

If there’s a difference from the previous documentary, it’s that Rachel will be appearing this time.

Because of that, things got a bit complicated.

Since it involved using Rachel’s image rights, we had to pay her an appearance fee!

PBC was feeling burdened.

Who was Rachel, after all?

Until Baek Jin-woo appeared, she was undisputedly the world’s number one ranker, wasn’t she?

It was even questionable whether we could make contact with someone like her.

But….

We are delighted to respond to your request.

Red Rose’s position is that you may freely use any of Rachel’s materials needed for documentary production.

It was resolved with one contact from Yu Ji-a.

An official document from Red Rose had arrived.

While Red Rose receives countless contacts and official documents from countries around the world, contacts from Yubaek or SKY had to be given even more special attention.

They were blood allies, and they had tremendous influence to begin with.

After sending it, a reply came in less than an hour.

Rachel also said she finds it very meaningful to gladly participate in helping her lifesaver.

She had occasionally observed aspects of the work through filming equipment in the Tower, and said she was very much looking forward to the final result.

“Wow.”

Yu Ji-a cheered in triumph.

‘How cool.’

She wouldn’t even take money.

But she really was a lifesaver.

Looking at the footage, he really did save her dramatically.

Watching it, I felt jealousy creeping up on me.

Anyway.

Now there really were no obstacles.

Through this broadcast, I planned to advertise “Rune Eclat” and “Fada” to the entire world.

Plus the complex shopping center that would open this time?

“Perfect.”

Yu Ji-a smiled brightly.

“Phew! Busy, so busy.”

Yu Ji-a had no rest these days.

Even though she could only sleep 4 hours a day, the work never decreased.

Setting aside the PBC broadcast matter.

Soon.

We also had to open the large Open Mall.

We recently decided on a name too.

“Yubaek Premier Mall”

The first store would open here, but later it would expand worldwide.

The meaning of the name?

Just.

It contained the ambition to become the best and first among all Open Malls.

All the luxury brands from around the world had come in.

So many came in that we had to struggle to select among them.

We built an observatory too.

We built it large enough to include shopping, entertainment, theme zones, large pavilions, and everything else.

Not only that?

We left the basement level 2 completely empty.

A large casino would go in here.

Nothing beats a casino for drawing in floating populations from around the world!

Las Vegas in the United States!

Macau, the mecca of gambling!

Weren’t they all world-famous tourist destinations!

“For now.”

This won’t do.

Grandfather used to say.

The bigger the business gets, the better you have to be at managing people.

Yu Ji-a called her two secretaries.

They were founding members Kim Byeong-jin and Hwang Tae-seop.

“Byeongjin?”

“Yes, President!”

Kim Byeong-jin was from Player Headquarters and had once been Yu Ji-a’s superior, but now he had completely become a subordinate employee to his bones.

“You’ve been feeling a bit left out, haven’t you?”

“No, not at all. How could there be anything to feel left out about?”

When they were paying him so much money.

Kim Byeong-jin waved his hands dismissively.

“Come on, even with a high salary, you can’t get a percentage.”

“What have I done to deserve a percentage? I’m absolutely, absolutely satisfied.”

“Really?”

Grin.

Yu Ji-a smiled.

“That’s too bad. I was going to give you a subsidiary president position. With some percentage too.”

“…What?”

Kim Byeong-jin was momentarily speechless.

“A president position?”

“Yubaek Premier Mall.”

It was already set up as an independent corporation with proper legal procedures.

As a subsidiary of Yubaek, 90% of the shares belonged to Yubaek.

“It’s a brand that will expand globally in the future, wouldn’t it be worth leading? No salary, but 10% in shares instead.”

Actually, I had thought about it a lot.

After giving “Rune Eclat” to Baek A-jin, now giving “Yubaek Premier Mall” to Kim Byeong-jin?

‘A-jin might feel hurt.’

But I had to consider ability.

It was a bit cold, but Baek A-jin only had talent for business, lacking the ability to lead a company.

Something like Rune Eclat suited her.

A company whose success was guaranteed by the overwhelming performance of runes.

On the other hand?

Kim Byeong-jin had ability.

Enough to still be useful while paying him a high salary.

“I’m already overwhelmed leading Yubaek. I’m going to gradually expand the business into a group structure, and I need someone to help. How about it, will you take it? Byeongjin, you should play in the big leagues now too.”

“Ah, ah….”

Kim Byeong-jin couldn’t continue speaking.

‘Crazy.’

He was moved.

This opportunity that came seemingly casually was a new chance for Kim Byeong-jin as a human being.

He could feel the enormous burden settling on his shoulders, but his heart also raced with the satisfaction that weight brought.

“F-first of all. Thank you so much, President.”

Kim Byeong-jin’s voice trembled.

“I never dreamed you would give me such an opportunity.”

“Come on, if not you, Byeong-jin, then who else? Just make sure you manage it properly.”

“Of course!”

There were many scheduled events.

Tenant reception, VIP showcase, opening day briefing, events, and so on.

Now that Kim Byeong-jin was the representative, they’d need to hire new staff too.

“The schedule is tight. For now, use headquarters staff while slowly preparing.”

“Yes!”

“And Tae-seop?”

“Yes!”

Gulp.

Hwang Tae-seop swallowed.

He had just witnessed his workplace superior become a first-generation chaebol.

And at such a young age, in his early thirties at that.

Then what about himself?

“Tae-seop should get something too, right?”

“M-me too?”

“That’s right. How about I put you in charge of a subsidiary like Byeong-jin?”

Hwang Tae-seop’s lips began to tremble too.

He wasn’t an elite like Kim Byeong-jin, but he was quick to act and had good sense.

This type of person was suited for the tourism business.

“We’ll start the tourism business with a large casino to be installed on basement level 2, and we’ll also start the lodging business by building a 5-star hotel on the site we bought nearby.”

“…!”

“Naturally, we’ll dig underground to connect the hotel and casino too. The name is… hmm…”

She hadn’t decided yet.

Since it came to this.

Yu Ji-a decided on the spot.

“The casino will be ‘Fortuna Yubaek’, and the hotel will be ‘Le Grand Yubaek’. Simple.”

Fortuna means the goddess of fortune.

Le Grand is, well.

It roughly means having the highest-class facilities and dignity.

“They’re names that roll off the tongue nicely.”

“Tae-seop will also get 10%, operated as a subsidiary.”

“Thank you for trusting me! I’ll do my best!”

Hwang Tae-seop bowed at a right angle.

At times like this, you can’t be modest.

It’s too big a position to decline out of courtesy.

You absolutely have to accept it gratefully and express thanks.

“Now, since you’re both subsidiary representatives, there are no more excuses. You can’t rest either. Try to elevate your respective companies to the top. If your performance is good, I’ll give you one more each.”

“”Yes, understood!””

That day.

The two representatives thought once again.

Following Yu Ji-a out of headquarters was the life-changing choice.

It had been amazing until now, but from now on it would be super amazing!

‘Let’s do this.’

‘I’ll pour my life into it.’

‘Anyway, it’s a business running on Baek Jin-woo’s reputation, so it would be strange if it failed, right?’

If it failed?

It would truly be a situation where they’d have nothing to say even if cursed out.

The eyes of both representatives filled with determination.

Rear training ground.

– Argh!

Aso couldn’t hold back and threw down his wooden sword.

– What is this! This doesn’t make sense!

– What doesn’t make sense.

– Wind Without Trace! You’re telling me to really become wind! How can a person become wind? I’m not even a spirit!

– …Nothing is impossible. That’s why I told you to do spiritual training. Don’t try to move your body, draw out your inner soul.

Aso was going crazy and losing his mind.

Good grief.

It’s not moving like the wind, but becoming the wind.

Does that make any sense?!

‘And he won’t even demonstrate it himself!’

Words are so easy.

– Didn’t I tell you. It would be a difficult path. There’s one thing I can tell you. Disturb all the senses dwelling in your heart.

– ….

– Forget even the sensation that you are human, no, a summoned creature.

He didn’t understand what it meant.

But Aso tried hard to understand.

The sound of wind around him, the feel of the ground, the smell of grass entering his nose.

He was telling him to erase all of this?

– You must eliminate distracting thoughts. Your consciousness must become endlessly light as if melting into the wind.

Actually, Hunkyo didn’t know either.

His skill ‘Instructor’ was just telling him instinctively.

– Don’t think of yourself as human. You are the wind. Become actual wind and flow through this space.

Aso closed his eyes and groaned.

No matter what advice Hunkyo gave him, nothing really clicked.

Become the wind?

Just become air and scatter and disappear?

Reverse summoning?

Ha.

With only these kinds of thoughts coming to mind, he felt like he was going crazy.

– Master.

Training facility building.

Hunkyo entered.

“Yeah?”

– It seems like it will take more time. Aso seems unable to get the hang of it… What’s more maddening is that I don’t understand what this means either.

“…That’s possible.”

Baek Jin-woo had also tried training alongside Aso.

But?

He had no idea what nonsense it was.

If the body becomes wind in the first place…

Isn’t that not footwork?

Footwork is walking, not flying!

Listening to Hunkyo’s report, he made a new suggestion.

“How about unlocking the other guys’ potential abilities first?”

– You mean Jakgeo or Dampir?

“Yeah.”

– Both won’t work.

“Why?”

– Jakgeo is a golem. Only when traces of time are carved into its body will it be able to unlock its potential abilities.

In other words.

It’ll take a long time.

“What about Dampir?”

– She is a vampire. She needs to drink large amounts of blood, but this is also a problem that time will solve. Dampir doesn’t drink blood unless she feels thirsty.

“Sigh.”

Really?

Then is Aso really the only one left?

Ramba, Hunkyo, Pokryong, Doldoli, Runde have all completed their unlocking!

Mayeo and the Destruction Dragon don’t have theirs yet.

Only Aso is truly left.

“Must become the wind… Hah.”

– Is there perhaps a windy place nearby?

“Hmm?”

– I was wondering if it might be good to let him feel the wind with his whole body.

“Oh.”

That’s not bad?

Like mountain summits, or flying around on a Wyvern.

Should we try training that way?

“Or should we go on a trip altogether?”

Regions famous for wind.

Switzerland’s Jungfrau, Scotland’s Fair Isle, Chicago’s Windy City…

If we go to places like these and experience various winds…

Wouldn’t Aso feel something too?

– It doesn’t seem like a bad idea, Master.

It feels a bit like chasing clouds, but how desperate must one be to choose this method.

Right.

Let’s just try everything we can do.

Our Aso.

Let Pokryong give it a try once.

Then this master will feel very reassured!
