I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 195
Gale Slayer (3)
First, I ignored the blank check.
It’s not like they’re joking around.
100 billion dollars!
Would they really give it if I wrote this amount?
That’s not how it works either.
If I really wrote that much, I could face international criticism again.
Countries that are already struggling – why go around traveling and extorting money from them?
‘Though they’re the ones offering to give it.’
There are plenty of twisted people in this world, aren’t there?
‘And honestly.’
I don’t feel that desperately in need of money anymore.
Of course, I’d gratefully accept it if offered.
So the method I chose?
“Here we go.”
Swish, swish!
I wrote country and city names on the ends of wooden chopsticks and put them in a container so they couldn’t be seen.
Then I spun it around and around.
“I’ll go to whichever country gets drawn first.”
Of course, I only included countries that showed some sincerity.
At least 5 million dollars!
That’s about 7 billion won in Korean currency.
Yeah, we should at least receive that much as an invitation fee.
– Okay!
Which summoned creature will draw?
Ramba!
– Drumroll drumroll drumroll, here I go!
Swish! She quickly snatched one of the spinning wooden chopsticks.
Switzerland, Jungfrau
– Kyaa!
Switzerland, a country with beautiful snowy scenery, came out.
Western Europe right from the first draw.
This means Paris and Italy are automatically qualified.
Since I’ll be in the area, it would be good to stop by.
“How much did Switzerland say they’d give?”
– Hmm, originally they only offered to cover all travel expenses, but after seeing other countries’ responses, they raised it! 5 million dollars, and oh, jackpot!
“Huh?”
– They’re giving a watch!
“A watch?”
– Jin-woo, don’t you know? Switzerland is the city of watches! Among them, Rolex!
“…”
I’ve heard of it.
“There are lots of fakes of those.”
– Oh my, look at our Jin-woo! Fakes? Don’t go around and around disrespecting Rolex! Doldol-roll!
“…Doldol-roll?”
Ramba, this girl.
She’s being weird.
Looking at her wrists, what watch – they’re so thin she probably can’t even wear rings… Did she study that too?
– Jin-woo! Watch life starts with denying Rolex and ends with acknowledging it! Amazing, right? But what! Kyaa! Oh my.
“Again, what’s wrong now?”
Baek Jin-woo sat down on the sofa with a tired expression.
Is it because she ate too many cream buns?
Lately, Ramba’s tongue seems to have loosened up a bit.
She talks so much.
– It wasn’t Rolex! They’re giving a Patek Philippe watch!
“Patek Philippe?”
– A limited edition too! It’s called Patek Philippe Player Noctis, something they only gift to the pinnacle of Players. They’re making just one specifically for Jin-woo… Wow, I’m jealous!
“…”
A watch.
I’m not really interested.
But since it’s a limited edition, it must have some value, right?
“Sigh, anyway, since it came out in the draw, let’s prepare to go.”
Anyone watching would think I’m really going to receive a watch and money.
I’m going to train Aso!
And so Baek Jin-woo and his summoned creatures’ journey began.
The first place they arrived was the magnificent snowy mountain of the Alps, Jungfrau.
– Wow.
– It’s so beautiful, Jin-woo.
All the summoned creatures were captivated by the scenery.
Train?
Cable car?
We didn’t need them.
– Kiruurururu!
We flew to the summit riding the Wyvern.
It was definitely incredible.
Snow was falling heavily, wind was howling so hard it was difficult to breathe.
The perceived temperature was also quite low.
‘I heard there’s a place around here that sells Korean cup noodles.’
I’ll go there later.
First.
“Aso.”
– Yes, Father.
“I’ll drop you and Hunkyo off here, so train your movement techniques for five hours.”
Our main purpose is Aso’s Gale Slayer.
– I will. The wind here is definitely different.
Much heavier and colder than other places.
The power that brings blizzards!
I can feel on my skin the silent force that would cover everything in the world.
– Breathe slowly, Aso.
– Yes.
– Think of yourself as becoming the wind that blows on this snowy mountain. Fly freely.
Watching the two summoned creatures start training as soon as they landed, Baek Jin-woo turned the Wyvern around again.
‘They asked me to stop by the Bern Federal Palace, right?’
By the way, unlike other countries, Switzerland has no head of state.
Seven members of the Federal Council lead the country with equal authority among themselves.
One of them serves as Federal President for one year!
They say they’ll give me money and a watch if I go there.
And well.
They’ll probably make a few light requests.
Requests to clear troublesome dungeons and such.
Baek Jin-woo planned to limit his stay in each city to within 3 hours.
While Aso and Hunkyo trained for 5 hours?
He would move to another region.
Then resummon them again.
Stay for another 3 hours.
Move to another region.
Like that.
He planned to repeat this until Aso could feel various types of wind and master the Wind Traceless technique.
So even if countries made requests, they would have to be requests that could be handled within 3 hours.
For now.
The money had been deposited exactly into Yubaek Corporation’s account, and he had even received a watch.
“Oh, this is the first time I’ve received such a gift?”
“Haha, please open it.”
The kind-looking elderly man before him was none other than Switzerland’s Federal President.
Click!
When he removed the device and opened the box, a subtly glowing watch revealed itself.
An exquisite design harmonizing black and silver, with the three Korean characters 【Baek Jin-woo】 densely embedded with jewels on the dial.
“However, I have a request.”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“A-rank Dungeons have appeared in several regions of Switzerland, but we lack Players. Could you clear them before the situation worsens?”
“How many are there?”
“About three.”
“That’s easy enough. Just tell me the locations. I’ll clear them quickly and be on my way.”
“Thank you! Then have a pleasant trip!”
The Federal President smiled gratefully as he bid farewell.
In that manner.
Yubaek’s balance accumulated with each trip.
Baek Jin-woo’s pockets were the same.
Why did they have so much to give?
In France’s case?
Limited edition Bordeaux vintage wine!
Italy?
A limited edition luxury bag from a world-renowned leather brand!
‘This is for women, so I should give it to Yu Ji-a.’
Hong Kong?
A custom suit!
Spain?
A flamenco guitar!
Germany?
A Montblanc special edition!
…
And so on.
The funny thing was.
It seemed like the countries were competing with each other.
Each company began staking their lives on creating limited editions with all sorts of expensive items.
“…”
Especially this fountain pen…
I can’t tell if it’s a writing instrument or a jewel itself.
They said the body itself was just carved from sapphire?
The name was incredible too.
Montblanc Meisterstück Lumière Baek Jin-woo Edition!
The clip and trim were 18k white gold, and diamonds were delicately embedded in the clip.
– Wowwwwww!
By the way, Ramba was more excited than Baek Jin-woo.
She kept chattering beside him, explaining how crazy this was, how amazing it was.
“Ramba.”
– Hm?
“You handle all this… You keep it.”
– Kyaaaa! Really?
“Do you like it that much?”
– Hehe! It’s not that! This has incredible collection value! I’ll keep it safe, so tell me when you want to use it!
“By the way, the bag is off limits.”
– Right! That’s Ji-a’s!
Phew.
At least greed hadn’t filled her to the top of her head.
That’s a relief.
Anyway.
Baek Jin-woo did something in return for what he received.
After throwing Aso and Hunkyo into windy regions?
He would clear dungeons in those regions or attend events.
During this journey, Ramba and Pokryong signed many autographs too.
Some countries also asked for consulting with their national team Players.
Even then, he provided services appropriately matching the money they gave.
It wasn’t difficult anyway.
‘I don’t know how long I’ll have to keep traveling like this.’
Still.
– Master, it seems to be having some effect. I feel like Aso is gradually getting the hang of it. He’s reached the stage where he feels various forms of wind and truly recognizes himself as wind.
There seemed to be progress.
Recognizing himself as wind…
The content was a bit intense, but anyway.
If Hunkyo said it was progressing well, then it must be so.
Already 2 weeks had passed since they started traveling.
But there were still countless places to go.
Baek Jin-woo finally realized this time.
That such diverse cultures and cities existed in this global village.
And another 2 weeks later.
Exactly one month into their travels.
– It’s meaningless now, Hunkyo.
United States, Chicago.
Aso muttered while facing the sharp wind blowing from atop a building in the Windy City.
– I’ve felt every wind there is to feel now. But that’s all.
– Is that so?
– I need something more violent wind. To truly become wind, I think I need to face a gale strong enough to erase my body… No, a mad wind. Otherwise, I can’t erase my presence.
– Hmm.
Hunkyo pondered.
A mad wind.
Literally, crazy wind.
– So the winds we’ve experienced so far are somehow lacking?
– Yeah.
– Hmm.
Various pieces of information also came to mind in Hunkyo’s head.
From recklessly entrusting oneself to a tornado’s body, to walking through typhoons.
However.
His ‘instructor’ says.
That such things are insufficient.
That he could never obtain Aso’s enlightenment that way.
Huh.
What on earth should be done?
– God…
It was then that Aso muttered.
– God, or at least wind comparable to the power of a dragon is needed.
God?
Dragon?
Is it possible to obtain such wind?
Just when he thought that, a summoned creature flashed through his mind!
– Great Wizard!
Hunkyo clenched his fist.
– Great Wizard?
When Aso tilted his head.
– Rachel’s Great Wizard can use 9th Circle magic. There would be quite a long penalty, but… if it’s 9th Circle, it should be comparable to a dragon’s power.
– Oh, really?
– 9th Circle, Tempest Oblivion, called the pinnacle of wind magic.
The ultimate wind magic that creates powerful gales and whirlwinds covering several kilometers around, blowing everything away without a trace!
The Great Wizard can definitely use that skill.
– When Master summons us again, I should mention it.
Hunkyo’s eyes lit up.
And.
Hunkyo and Aso were summoned again in the next regional city.
– Master.
“Hm?”
Hunkyo immediately expressed his opinion.
Couldn’t they meet Rachel?
Couldn’t they go to some ocean or uninhabited island and ask her to hit Aso with 9th Circle magic just once?
“Really? That would work?”
When Baek Jin-woo asked.
– I’m not sure, but Aso says he has a feeling about it.
“Really?”
If our Aso says so.
We absolutely have to ask.
Taking out his phone, he immediately called Rachel.
– Huh? Of course! Of course! I heard you’ve been traveling around lately, I was hurt wondering why you haven’t come to our England!
A very positive response came.
Okay!
One month into the trip.
Baek Jin-woo decided on England as his final travel destination.
– You know the Flannan Isles west of Scotland, right? They’ve been called ghost islands since long ago, so how about we meet there?
1900.
It’s also a mysterious island where the lighthouse keepers’ disappearance incident occurred.
“Isn’t there a lighthouse there? If we mess up, it’ll all collapse.”
– We can go a bit further in and use it.
“Okay, thanks.”
– Don’t mention it! If it’s something that increases your power, I should help with everything I’ve got. That way the Tower of Trials will be easier to clear too.
As expected.
All focus is on the Tower of Trials.
Anyway.
Rachel is a friend I’m grateful for in many ways.
Then.
Shall we go?
