I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 056

War Against Crime (5)

In reality, the Jo Ji-hak Group executives didn’t have many options.

Surrender?

100% death sentence.

The crimes they had committed so far resembled those of an anti-state organization.

Run away?

It didn’t look easy.

Looking at Baek Jin-woo’s actions so far, he seemed to have information gathering capabilities beyond that of the state.

Then there was only one answer!

“Attack together!”

Jo Ji-hak immediately deployed his summoned creatures.

‘Baek Jin-woo, I know you’re strong.’

However.

Coming alone to face our gang executives probably wasn’t such a good choice either.

“Charge at him!”

“Die!”

In an instant, countless summoned creatures surrounded Baek Jin-woo.

True to being a gang, they were all summoned creatures designed for Player combat.

Baek Jin-woo didn’t stay still either.

Sring!

Hunkyo’s sword was drawn.

Whoosh!

Doldoli’s scythe was raised.

But.

The speed of drawing weapons was tremendous.

Not just tremendous, but it felt otherworldly?

‘What is that?’

‘Why is it so fast?’

‘I can’t even see it?’

It seemed like they were in a different dimension of space and time.

That was inevitable.

Ramba had been stacking buffs for over 2 hours on each of them.

Thunk!

The Grim Reaper struck one summoned creature’s head with the scythe.

“…!”

Just as several executives’ eyes were about to widen.

Whirlick!

The scythe spun in a full circle.

Puhwaaaaak!

The entire space filled with blood and torn flesh.

‘Cr, crazy?’

‘What kind of speed is that.’

With that one strike.

The HP of about 30 summoned creatures that had clustered together to attack was deeply gouged!

Right.

Withstanding that one strike wasn’t too difficult.

Doldoli wasn’t even wearing graduation runes, just regular high-grade runes.

The problem wasn’t that.

Thunk! Whiriririririririck!

The speed of striking and spinning was tremendous.

It was so fast that most summoned creatures couldn’t even react, and afterimages appeared as if there were 8 or more Doldolis.

It was instantaneous.

The time it took for over 90% of the attacking summoned creatures to be reverse summoned was just 20 seconds.

“This doesn’t make sense.”

Jo Ji-hak, who had been watching, muttered unconsciously.

He was someone who wouldn’t say “this doesn’t make sense” even when watching the World League and world rankers.

But seeing Baek Jin-woo’s summoned creatures….

It really didn’t make sense.

“…This is just ridiculous.”

The world was unfair.

Even looking at the entire world, where would you find summoned creatures like those?

Even the famous Rachel would shake her head in disbelief.

“If I had known such a guy would emerge, I wouldn’t have done gang work.”

I would have just lived quietly, enjoying life moderately.

Dash!

While Doldoli was spinning the scythe, Hunkyo wasn’t idle either.

Hunkyo actually sought out enemy summoned creatures and cleaned them up.

Whirlick, slash! Scrape!

Moving through space here and there, dodging attacks and finding vital points to cut down, his movements were like a dance.

The gang executives.

The gang’s elite forces.

Were being cleaned up by the movements of just two summoned creatures.

And in a short time at that.

Most protective barriers had already been broken, and they couldn’t even escape due to the Explosive Dragon Mage’s firepower.

Not only that?

Thump!

When Hunkyo saw a Player whose protective barrier had fallen, he lightly flicked his finger and pressed an acupoint.

5-minute muscle and bone separation.

He made them pay the price for daring to disobey his lord’s words and attack.

“Keu, keuaaaaaaak!”

“Keuheoeoeoeoeoek!”

One by one.

They collapsed to the ground with a thud and rolled around, kicking up dust.

“Ha.”

Jo Ji-hak let out a short breath.

There was nothing he could do against the approaching natural disaster.

Just wait for his turn.

“Damn it.”

Whoooosh!

The flames burning around the abandoned building felt particularly hot.

10 minutes after Baek Jin-woo arrived.

Members of the Player Headquarters, police, and Assemblyman Park Chang-seok also arrived at the abandoned building.

The situation had already been resolved.

They were tied up tightly with tape that Ramba had brought, drooling and trembling.

Baek Jin-woo handed them over to Park Chang-seok.

“Really…. I can only say it’s insane.”

Assemblyman Park Chang-seok was amazed.

That Jo Ji-hak, who couldn’t be caught despite 3 years of effort, was captured in less than a week.

Not only that?

They forcibly uprooted even the gang members hiding domestically, like pulling up the roots of an old tree.

Just a single player had done all this.

“Please take care of the cleanup, sir.”

“Of course!”

Park Chang-seok firmly grasped Baek Jin-woo’s hands with both of his.

He was now truly the nation’s greatest talent.

The ultimate hero who should be designated as National Intangible Heritage No. 1 and receive unlimited support!

“Thank you.”

Park Chang-seok was a congressman.

A congressman elected by the people’s votes.

Therefore, he expressed gratitude on behalf of the nation.

“Thanks to you, South Korea has become much healthier.”

Today.

The gangs, synonymous with crime in South Korea, had been eradicated.

The citizens felt relieved.

[Player Baek Jin-woo destroys gangs overnight!]

[Citizens cheer as all gang members with murder records sentenced to death!]

[Shocking gang member testimony! “It took less than a minute for the gang’s elite to be wiped out.”]

[Player Headquarters to respond more strictly to summoning-related crimes!]

The gangs were caught.

When headquarters declared the complete end of crime, everyone gave thumbs up.

Even those who were too scared to leave their homes began dining out and enjoying shopping.

The domestic economy began to circulate actively!

“Heh heh heh.”

Player Headquarters meeting room.

The smile never left the Head of Player Association’s face.

As Baek Jin-woo continued to soar higher, the citizens occasionally praised headquarters too.

└ When headquarters said they’d provide another 1 trillion in support, honestly, didn’t it seem a bit excessive? But they did well.

└ I’m a headquarters staff member, and the policy has slightly changed. It seems like we’ve completely shifted to unconditionally supporting Baek Jin-woo.

└ That’s how it should be! That’s absolutely right!

└ Congressman Park Chang-seok is completely pro-Baek Jin-woo, and the head can’t refuse due to the atmosphere?

└ Oh.

└ We should vote for him next time too. If he does well, we should give him more!

“Heh heh heh.”

The head grinned foolishly, forgetting his age and dignity.

Because of this, the meeting room atmosphere was good.

“Head, what did I tell you?”

Park Chang-seok said.

“Didn’t I say that just supporting Player Baek Jin-woo would get us halfway there?”

“Hah hah! It’s not just halfway! He’ll fly all the way to space!”

“That’s why I’m saying.”

“Hm?”

“Shouldn’t we give him a reward?”

Baek Jin-woo had perfectly healed South Korea, which was sick from gangs.

If you receive treatment?

Naturally, you should pay medical fees!

“A reward! Yes, we should give one! Of course we should!”

The costs headquarters spent dealing with gangs were quite substantial.

Since Baek Jin-woo reduced that, there was justification for a reward.

Park Chang-seok had pointed this out well.

Moreover, the current public reaction suggested they’d face backlash if they didn’t give a reward.

“How much should we give?”

“What’s there to say? Use up all the remaining headquarters budget for this year.”

“…The entire budget?”

The head made an expression suggesting that might be too much.

Money was naturally needed to maintain headquarters.

He couldn’t help but react sensitively.

“Anyway, Player Baek Jin-woo is doing all the work headquarters should be doing alone. How about we leave only the minimum maintenance funds and support Player Baek Jin-woo with everything else? Since headquarters regulations make cash support difficult, we could provide runes or items.”

“Hmm… Really? Then let’s do that.”

“That’s a refreshing decision. I’ll consult with Yubak’s representative and submit it for approval again.”

Park Chang-seok had a 5% stake in Yubak.

Of course, he didn’t have it now, but it was a stake he could receive when he left headquarters later.

Since it was firmly tied with Yu Ji-a through a system contract, it was a guaranteed stake with no room for objections!

And.

Baek Jin-woo was Yubak’s asset.

If they provided 1 trillion in support to Baek Jin-woo?

It meant 50 billion would fall to him!

From now on, Park Chang-seok planned to maximize headquarters’ use to increase Baek Jin-woo’s value.

“Ms. Yu Ji-a.”

After finishing everything and returning to headquarters, Baek Jin-woo met Yu Ji-a.

“Oh, Jin-woo. You’re here?”

She, who had been organizing documents, greeted him warmly.

Yu Ji-a had been busy lately.

Because Baek Jin-woo kept appearing in articles and community posts… she was building management and response teams for that.

“Yes, there’s something I wanted to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“You did well, but from next time, please don’t hesitate to use it during crisis situations. The desperate call.”

Baek Jin-woo had grasped the entire situation.

And.

He also understood why Yu Ji-a hadn’t called him during that urgent moment.

For A-jin’s sake.

To prevent the confusion he would feel when experiencing desperate calls from both sides.

While that intention was truly admirable, it wasn’t necessary.

“Hunkyo has become stronger. Now he can handle calls from both sides sufficiently… If something seems strange, please use it right away.”

In a situation like last time?

He could have gone to A-jin’s side first to release Hunkyo, then moved to Yu Ji-a’s side to use Doldoli for a much faster and safer resolution.

Baek Jin-woo wanted to let her know this.

“I understand. Thank you for telling me that.”

“I’m more grateful. Oh, and… what about those rankers from that time?”

He had been so angry at the gangs in that moment that he focused only on crushing them, setting aside everything else.

As a result, there were many parts he just passed over.

Especially the four rankers.

Hong Ari, Oh Sun-young, Gi Jae-hyeok, Kang Ji-ho.

Without them, it would have been a real disaster.

Yu Ji-a or his parents could have been kidnapped.

He couldn’t just let it pass.

“Ah! Those people!”

Yu Ji-a clapped her hands.

“Actually, that day. They came to meet you.”

“Me?”

“Yes, it seems like they still want to keep seeing you, but you’ve been quite busy lately, haven’t you, Jin-woo?”

“…Well, that’s true.”

“So I lent them a few apartment rooms. To rest while they wait.”

In fact, this was Yu Ji-a’s clever move.

Since Baek Jin-woo kept wandering around outside the headquarters, she lent them the apartment to have permanent rankers stationed there.

“They’re probably still waiting now.”

“Really?”

What could it be?

I should go check it out.

I had received all the contact information of those selected for the National Team.

Baek Jin-woo, who came to the Training Ground, called them.

The four who received the contact came running swiftly.

“Hyung-niiiim!”

“I heard the news! You’re truly amazing, hyung!”

Gi Jae-hyeok and Kang Ji-ho, despite not knowing him for long, had already become like younger brothers calling him hyung.

“…Ahem, well. It was pretty cool.”

“…”

Hong Ari and Oh Sun-young kept a slight distance while perking up their ears.

“First, I want to express my gratitude to all four of you.”

Baek Jin-woo bowed his head first.

“No, hyung!”

“There’s no need for that! Bowing your head to your younger siblings!”

The two high schoolers jumped around excitedly.

Hong Ari waved her hands frantically, not knowing what to do.

Especially Oh Sun-young.

“Fighting crime when we see it is natural. I don’t want to be thanked for doing something natural.”

She approached and helped lift Baek Jin-woo’s bowed head.

Then she exchanged glances with Hong Ari, Gi Jae-hyeok, and Kang Ji-ho.

Intense gazes passing between them.

Finally.

Gi Jae-hyeok stepped forward first.

“Hyung!”

He squeezed his eyes shut and shouted.

“If you’re really grateful! Please accept us as your disciples! We beg you!”
