I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 052
War Against Crime (1)
“Yaaaawn.”
Baek A-jin had finished her marketplace patrol and was on her way to meet friends.
Having worked quite hard to obtain 13 universal runes, she had given all the staff members vacation time.
Vrooooom!
As she stepped on the car’s accelerator, the turbo engine roared magnificently.
Since the distance between Samseong-dong and headquarters was quite far, she had recently bought a car.
A bright red Porsche 911 Turbo.
Baek A-jin couldn’t resist the beautiful curves that stimulated a woman’s heart just by looking at it.
In fact, it was an inexpensive car compared to her income.
It only cost around 300 million won.
Near Hanam City.
A secluded private cafe.
The friends gathered there were absolutely going wild.
She wasn’t even a chaebol heir, and what was a young woman in her early twenties doing with a 911!
“Wow, what is this?”
“Baek A-jiiiiin! This is seriously crazy! Your chaebol connections really show their class!”
“Can I take a picture?”
“I want to ride in it later!”
Some were genuinely excited and admiring.
“What kind of work are you really doing these days?”
“Right, the girl who used to participate in our chat room all the time is so busy now she doesn’t even talk.”
“Stop hiding it and spill the beans!”
Others were curious about Baek A-jin’s recent situation.
“Actually.”
Baek A-jin spoke honestly.
They had already reached an agreement.
Since all the family members had come under Yubaek’s wing, there was no need to hide it anymore.
It was okay to reveal it proudly.
“I’ve been working at Yubaek lately.”
“What?”
“Yubaaaaaaaek?!”
Her friends were shocked and fell over themselves.
Where was Yubaek!
Wasn’t it the hot new management company that offered better treatment than South Korea’s top corporation Daeseong!
And it was the management company that took care of national team member Baek Jin-woo!
Now all the elites in the country were eager to get in there.
“The Yubaek I know?”
“I knew it! Yu Ji-a’s connections weren’t just empty connections!”
“Did you see Baek Jin-woo? How is he? Is he handsome?”
At the last question, Baek A-jin frowned.
‘What do you mean my brother is handsome?’
Although he had gotten a bit more muscular lately, he was still her brother.
She felt slightly repulsed by the word handsome.
Of course, her friends didn’t think that way.
“Here, these are business cards.”
What was the point of talking endlessly?
Baek A-jin distributed the business cards she had received from Yubaek.
“Wow, what kind of business card is this?”
“…Gold? Is this real gold?”
“Come on, no way…?”
Plastic material with names engraved in pure gold.
These were business cards given to be distributed not just anywhere, but only to truly precious friends.
And the position and name clearly printed on that business card!
[Director, Baek A-jin]
“D-Director?”
“Huh? Are my eyes wrong? That can’t be right?”
“Not staff but director?”
“Did Yubaek have directors?”
The confused friends each took out their phones.
They went to Yubaek’s official website to check the board composition status.
“Crazy!”
“It’s real?”
“And there are only two of them?”
[CEO, Yu Ji-a]
[Director, Baek A-jin]
“How on earth did this happen?”
Her friends demanded an explanation.
‘Right.’
She had come to the gathering to tell them anyway.
If she continued like this, it would cause bigger misunderstandings, and even that would be terrible to her friends.
“Sorry I couldn’t tell you until now. Actually, my brother is Baek Jin-woo.”
Shocking announcement!
All her friends’ mouths dropped open.
“Whaaaaaaaat?”
“Really?”
“Baek Jin-woo? That national hero Baek Jin-woo is your brother? Not a different Baek Jin-woo with the same name, right?”
Actually, that one statement explained everything.
The shiny sports car.
The connection with Yu Ji-a.
Being a director at Yubaek.
‘Not just a golden spoon level, but a Baek Jin-woo spoon.’
‘I’m so jealous.’
‘But wasn’t A-jin’s brother sick from a car accident?’
It took quite some time to accept and comprehend the reality.
A moment passed.
Baek A-jin became the center of all conversation.
How could there be just one or two things they were curious about?
Even the pretty friends were.
“Miss! Our pretty Miss Baek A-jin!”
“What are you talking about! She’s my miss! A-jin, let’s become sisters-in-law! This sister-in-law will treat you well. Okay?”
They even acted coquettishly, half-joking, half-serious.
‘Ugh, why are these girls acting like this? Are they crazy?’
Baek A-jin was shocked and waved her hands dismissively.
‘Still.’
Seeing her shoulders rise with pride… she did feel good about it.
So this is the kind of feeling you get from having a good brother!
And at that moment.
“We just need to hit that place, right?”
“So you’re saying that as soon as we join the gang, you’ll inject 100 billion won in cash?”
Outside the Private Cafe in Hanam City.
Three players could be seen staring at the building.
One was a gang member.
The other two were Oh Ji-myeong and Park Ho-seop, ranked 9th and 10th respectively.
“That’s correct, rankers. If you just kidnap Baek A-jin in there, not only will you get 100 billion won, but they’ve promised to give you 10% of all future profits generated through Baek Jin-woo.”
The gang’s demand was simple.
Kidnap Baek A-jin.
After that, leave the country and just keep Baek A-jin’s identity secured.
‘Making an enemy of Baek Jin-woo…’
‘That might actually be better.’
The two rankers accepted the proposal after quite a long period of deliberation.
There was the option of going to Baek Jin-woo to apologize, but they had their pride too.
‘This method seems more convenient.’
‘Perfect. Kidnapping family to threaten them. Why didn’t I think of this?’
‘I need to repay the debt from that beating.’
His ribs were still throbbing.
It was because of the liver shot he took in the Multi-player Tournament.
“What about the others besides Baek A-jin? There seem to be quite a few people.”
Oh Ji-myeong asked.
“You can kill them all.”
The gang member answered with a sinister smile.
“Wait.”
Park Ho-seop, ranked 10th, asked a question.
“So while we’re capturing Baek A-jin, what will your gang be doing?”
It was quite a sharp question.
What if the gang just gave orders from behind and then backed out if things went wrong, leaving only them as traitors who touched the national hero?
“Don’t worry. The gang has staked everything on this operation. Most of our members dispatched overseas have already illegally entered the country.”
“Oh, so?”
“Yes, Baek Jin-woo doesn’t only have a younger sister as family, right?”
“Is the gang planning to hit Yubaek?”
“Exactly.”
That was the gang’s goal.
Yubaek had Yu Ji-a and other family members of Baek Jin-woo.
Moreover, Baek Jin-woo was currently dispatched to Dubai.
It was the perfect opportunity.
If Baek Jin-woo was a cold-blooded person who didn’t care about his family’s safety, this operation would be meaningless.
But looking at his behavior, the probability of that was low.
‘He’s someone who gives houses as gifts to his family and cares about security.’
It was somewhat concerning that touching Yu Ji-a would mean making an enemy of Daeseong, but there was no choice.
For the gang, leaving Baek Jin-woo alone like this was more troublesome.
“Good.”
Oh Ji-myeong nodded.
“Then let’s start right away.”
For 5 hours straight.
Baek Jin-woo hadn’t eaten a single bite of food, let alone a sip of water.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ramba was stacking, and Pokryong was sitting quietly beside her.
And.
– Grrrr…!
He just waited for the Training Instructor along with Doldoli, who was holding a scythe and guarding the surroundings.
Soon, when the resummon cooldown was over.
Whooom!
He waved his hand and summoned the Training Instructor.
“Hunkyo.”
Swoosh!
The Training Instructor appeared with light, looking perfectly fine.
Also, the atmosphere around him had changed from before.
[‘Training Instructor’ (EX-grade) unlocks latent abilities.]
[‘Training Instructor’ (EX-grade)’s basic stats increase.]
[‘Training Instructor’ (EX-grade) gains new skills.]
Step.
The guy who approached knelt down.
– My lord… I’m sorry for making you worry.
“What worry! What happened?”
When Baek Jin-woo asked, the Training Instructor’s lips curved up slightly.
– It was a complete success. I can feel tremendous internal energy within my body.
“Really?”
He immediately checked the guy’s status.

‘What, what the…!’
Baek Jin-woo was shocked.
Resonance Demonic Arts and now Complete Transformation too?
Moreover, the stats possessed were insane.
Note that this was his ability without wearing a single rune.
“You bastard!”
You’ve really changed!
With stats like this, it wouldn’t be strange to call him an A-grade, no, S-grade summoned creature.
“Wait a moment.”
Baek Jin-woo removed the universal rune he had put on Pokryong and equipped it directly on the Training Instructor.
Then.
[Summoned Creature: Training Instructor]
[Race: Human]
[Grade: EX-grade (Isolation Judgment)]
– Isolated due to balance-breaking elements discovered in specific situations.

No, this is…
What kind of monster is this?
Stats of 1,580?
Baek Jin-woo never imagined he would see such numerical stats from Hunkyo.
For reference, this was with the semi-graduation rune.
What if he equipped the Trinity Rune later?
He would become even stronger than this.
– My lord, I can feel tremendous power that could blow away a mountain with a single sword strike.
“That makes sense.”
A mountain is the problem?
If he set his mind to it, he could turn an entire city into ruins in less than a minute.
“Wait, Nine Yin Severed Meridians is that powerful?”
– …That’s correct. According to Hwata’s knowledge, there were even strange individuals who viewed humans afflicted with Nine Yin Severed Meridians as eternal elixirs.
“Alright, I’ll acknowledge it.”
Baek Jin-woo nodded his head.
“This omnipotent rune. And the Trinity Rune we’ll obtain in the future. It’s not for Aso. It’s yours first.”
At his words, life returned to Hunkyo’s eyes.
– Thank you, my lord!
He had been acknowledged.
He had been promised one of the main positions to become his lord’s sword.
Hunkyo was so happy that all the pain he had endured until now completely disappeared from his mind.
“Phew.”
Baek Jin-woo let out a pleased breath.
Everything had worked out well.
He had obtained the omnipotent rune, and Hunkyo had awakened too.
Now it was time to return to South Korea.
Jasim had probably prepared the flight arrangements already.
The problem was.
Grumble.
“Haha, I’m hungry.”
– My lord, don’t tell me… you haven’t been eating?
“With you being reverse-summoned in that state, how could food go down my throat?”
Ugh.
Even saying it makes me cringe.
But what can I do?
That feeling is real.
“For now, let’s eat. Pokryong too, and Ramba too.”
There was still the feast that Jasim had prepared remaining.
Enough food for four to eat their fill!
Of course, there were also ultra-luxurious cream buns made by a professional chef.
– Great! Let’s eat!
Excited Ramba flew around in the air.
