I Am Alone EX-Grade Summoner Episode 091

Full-Scale Training (3)

“Now, here are new summoned creatures for all of you. The purchase funds have been deducted from each of your national support funds, so please keep that in mind and come receive them one by one. Everyone except Hwang Ju-won, Oh Sun-young, and Hwang Ji-woo has at least one.”

Sorry, but the summoned creature compositions of those three were already perfect without needing any changes.

They just needed to continue managing well as they were doing now.

“Oh, is there one for me too?”

First, Kang Geon-ho carefully received the Black Knight in exchange.

‘A summoned creature I’ve never seen before.’

He looked at it with eyes mixed with surprise and curiosity.

Even though searching the marketplace daily was routine, how did he obtain a summoned creature he’d never seen before?

“I’ll use it well.”

What could it be?

The moment he carefully received it with an expectant expression and read the information.

‘Crazy!’

He immediately exclaimed in shock.

An A-grade Black Knight?

He could immediately understand what kind of feelings Baek Jin-woo had when obtaining this summoned creature.

The things he had considered weaknesses in his heart until now could definitely be supplemented with just this one Black Knight.

‘Wow!’

Kang Geon-ho clenched both hands tightly.

The image of a Paladin and Black Knight spreading out on both sides to devastate opponents was drawn in his mind.

‘From now on, I’ll have to raise just these two like crazy.’

At the same time, he felt something had definitely changed.

Unlike when doing national team consulting before, it felt like he had truly entered Baek Jin-woo’s protective embrace?

Honestly, it felt warm.

Kang Geon-ho wasn’t the only one surprised.

“Wow, this is a Phoenix! I really wanted to get one, but how did you…!”

Hong Ari also received the Phoenix with a moved expression.

Whoosh!

Even though flames wrapped around her, it wasn’t hot at all.

‘A perfect upgrade from the fire bird I was using.’

With just this, she could become 10 times stronger than now.

“Thank you, I’m really sincerely grateful.”

When Hong Ari couldn’t manage her expression and showed her joy, everyone around was surprised too.

Originally being prickly and not good at expressing herself, showing such happiness meant she was truly pleased.

‘Well, if it’s a Phoenix, that expression is understandable.’

‘It’s obviously a good summoned creature, so any player who obtained it wouldn’t want to give it up easily.’

‘Wow, look at those wing movements. It’s not just beautiful but awe-inspiring.’

The guild members looked at Hong Ari receiving the Phoenix with envious eyes.

Now three summoned creatures remained!

“Next is An Gi-jeong.”

“Wow, is it the Poison King?”

An Gi-jeong received the A-grade Poison King!

He handled B-grade Seven-Spot Spider, Black Widow, and so on.

He only dealt with poison-related summoned creatures.

The Poison King from the martial arts world was exactly what could boost all ability stats of poison-attribute summoned creatures by several times.

“Such a precious thing… With just this, the World League really seems doable. Thank you.”

An Gi-jeong bowed his head and stepped back.

Next was Gi Jae-hyeok!

“Hyung! Could it be the Goblin Master? Kyaaaah!”

Goblin enthusiast Gi Jae-hyeok hugged the provided Goblin Master tightly and even stroked it here and there.

It was like a child’s reaction when receiving something they had always wanted as a gift.

“How long were you going to keep using two Hop Goblins? You need to switch to the Goblin Master.”

“Thank you, hyung! I truly pledge my loyalty!”

Next was Kang Ji-ho!

“Mine is the Mad Demon!”

The A-grade Mad Demon was also a summoned creature from the martial arts world.

For Kang Ji-ho, who usually used extreme damage summoned creatures like the Snow Flower Berserker (B-grade) as his main position, this was the perfect summoned creature!

And so all five A-grade creatures were distributed.

“Okay.”

Baek Jin-woo smiled.

“That’s the end of A-grades… Lastly, Song Yeon-hee?”

“Yes, yes!”

“I have something separate for you, so wait a moment. The rest of you should take time to bond with the summoned creatures you received along with Hunkyo. Today is individual training.”

“Yes!”

Thud thud thud!

Everyone scattered throughout the training grounds with their respective summoned creatures.

Some wanted to quickly test their new summoned creatures, while others just wanted to try using the summoned creatures themselves.

After doing nothing but tedious and difficult physical training daily, this was their first summoned creature training.

Naturally, they couldn’t help but be excited and thrilled.

At a corner table outside the training ground.

What was placed in front of Song Yeon-hee were five types of dolls.

Puppet dolls, once called marionettes in the past.

“Song Yeon-hee.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll tell you straight.”

Plop!

Baek Jin-woo sat in a chair and spoke seriously.

“To be honest, among the national team members here, excluding me and Hwang Ji-woo, you have the highest potential. It’s just that me and Hwang Ji-woo are somewhat cheating, but in world terms, you’re high enough to easily enter the world ranking top 10 in the future.”

“…”

Song Yeon-hee made a dumbfounded expression.

Wh-what did that mean?

World ranking top 10?

Really?

For reference, Kang Geon-ho, who was ranked 1st in our country’s national team, couldn’t even make it into the world ranking top 100.

‘No, more than that.’

What was he looking at to judge potential?

Did it make sense to speak with such confidence?

“However, if you want to become like that, you’ll have to throw away all the summoned creatures you’ve used until now.”

“…Excuse me?”

Domestic ranking 60th place.

Having climbed that far, Song Yeon-hee had also grown attached to her summoned creatures.

To completely abandon such summoned creatures?

“I’m not saying don’t raise them. I’m saying these five summoned creatures will be what you mainly use from now on.”

Baek Jin-woo looked at them with an expression lost in memories.

Things called Fire Thunder, Water Thunder, Wood Thunder, Metal Thunder, and Earth Thunder respectively.

They were really cute attribute dolls in appearance.

All were B-grade.

“What are these?”

“They’re ridiculously difficult to control, but if you can perfectly manage them, they’re cheat summoned creatures that can perform at A-grade level or possibly even S-grade.”

“….”

“Can’t get a feel for it? Let me show you first.”

Baek Jin-woo stood up and took control of Hwarui (Fire Puppet).

‘I’m nervous.’

This was a summoned creature he had used a few times during “Battle of Summoners.”

When it was first revealed, everyone said its performance was so ridiculous that it was overpowered and would soon disappear with a balance patch.

‘But what’s the point of being overpowered?’

No one could use it anyway.

To use just one summoned creature, you had to control a total of five strings.

Head, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg.

Unlike other summoned creatures that moved somewhat autonomously, this puppet required the player to control everything from attacks to evasion.

As a result, after using it a few times, it was naturally abandoned.

No matter how well you raised it, if the player had clumsy hands, it couldn’t display proper performance.

Swoosh!

Baek Jin-woo’s fingers began moving gracefully.

‘This is my first time in reality too.’

Why was it?

It felt like he could control it well.

Swooosh!

Hwarui moved gracefully, then began dancing while breathing fire.

The target was a scarecrow made of iron.

‘It’s really working well?’

Honestly, it felt easier in reality than when operating with a phone.

Hwarui flew around here and there, striking with fire, and spinning around while breathing fire in all directions.

Baek Jin-woo quickly found it enjoyable.

‘Should I try one more?’

He began controlling Surui (Water Puppet) as well.

Controlling two puppets simultaneously doubled the difficulty.

Now he had to control ten strings instead of five.

Kuwaaaaaa!

As Surui’s water attacks joined in, the surroundings began to become increasingly chaotic.

‘…This is.’

Song Yeon-hee, who was watching, stuck out her tongue.

The Baek Jin-woo she was seeing was at least a skilled puppeteer with over 20 years of experience.

‘Does this make sense?’

Ten strings descending from the sky moved like flowing water.

Crack!

The firmly fixed scarecrow made a bursting sound.

‘He wants me to do that?’

No matter how she thought about it, she had no confidence.

From what she could see, it wasn’t just those two she had to control….

It seemed like she would have to control a total of five puppets all at once….

“Watch carefully. I’ll only show you once.”

Baek Jin-woo moved as if possessed.

In an instant, Mokrui (Wood Puppet) was added, and Geumrui (Metal Puppet) was added.

Four marionettes filling the entire field of vision!

Whoosh!

Fire blazed up.

Splash!

Water shot up.

Crack!

Tree branches that sprouted from the ground bound the scarecrow.

Wooooong!

The puppets were enveloped in golden light.

“Fire and Water are for damage, Wood is for binding and healing, Metal is for defense.”

Baek Jin-woo lowered his stance and pulled the strings.

It seemed like he was pulling lightly, but he was clearly making precise micro-controls one by one.

To Song Yeon-hee, Baek Jin-woo was simply a genius.

A hopeless genius at that!

“And Earth flips the ground or controls gravity to steal the opponent’s balance.”

Finally!

Baek Jin-woo began controlling all five puppets.

It was as if he had become a graceful liquid.

He moved smoothly and naturally like water flowing from high to low places.

Then, the next moment.

“Actually, these puppets have a hidden condition.”

Kuwaaaaaa!

Suddenly, light energy shot up to the sky from all puppets, and dark energy began sinking into the ground.

“When the five elements gather, a new attribute called Yin-Yang opens up.”

In the past, Baek Jin-woo had confirmed this once and then discarded it.

He was trying to enjoy the game, but the stress was enormous from having to control to the point of breaking his fingers every time.

“Now watch.”

Baek Jin-woo pulled his right arm upward and sharply pulled his left arm downward.

Simultaneously, the Yang that was in the sky and the Yin that was below shot up and descended together, creating a tremendous explosion.

Kuwaaaaaa!

“If you raise them properly, this damage rivals the breath of S-rank dragons.”

The iron scarecrow was already torn to pieces.

Truly tremendous destructive power.

Song Yeon-hee couldn’t believe it.

As a ranker, she could roughly sense how much damage something dealt just by looking.

The Yin-Yang unity she just saw?

It was so tremendous that it wouldn’t be a lie to say she’d never seen anything like it in her life.

“Phew, that’s intense.”

Soon Baek Jin-woo shook his hands.

Thud thud thud!

The puppets that had been floating in the air instantly sank to the ground.

Since he wasn’t skilled and had pushed too hard from the start, his fingers were tingling and aching.

“Song Yeon-hee. From today, you’ll practice this. How about it, think you can do it?”

“…Will I be able to do this?”

This ridiculous thing?

“Yeah, absolutely.”

You don’t know this, but.

You have a rare constitution that mixes Heavenly Heart Body and Infinite Body.

Hunkyo had said.

She might not be a genius to discuss throughout history, but she was at least a genius who could astonish a century.

She would surely be able to handle this much well.

“This is the fastest way for you to become a world ranker. Will you do it? If not, forget it. I’ll have to find someone else.”

“W-wait a moment.”

Song Yeon-hee extended her hand as if telling him to calm down.

Good heavens.

After seeing such ridiculous power, you’re telling me not to do it if I don’t want to?

There was absolutely no way she could do that.

She was also a ranker Player.

She was full of desire to rise to the upper ranks.

She could already see it clearly in her mind.

The sight of five dolls moving organically to strike, defend, heal, and disrupt enemies before finally destroying everything with the power of yin and yang.

“I’ll do it.”

She made her resolve.

“I’ll definitely succeed.”

From now on, she wasn’t a summoner.

She was a puppeteer.
