Only I Have Two Towers Episode 100
Yodo Muramasa
Ronia Headquarters located in Osaka.
A harsh crashing sound came from the chairman’s office.
Chairman Hosaka Judo couldn’t contain his anger and swept everything off his desk.
Beyond him, his family members, the Secretary Manager, and Security Manager were bowing their heads deeply.
“Hah. Hah. Hah.”
Judo finally sat down after running out of things to throw.
Despite throwing everything he could get his hands on, his anger still wouldn’t subside.
His granddaughter, the family’s pride and the company’s mascot, had been thoroughly beaten by some unknown Korean bastard.
And it had to be by someone brought by Genex, their rival company.
‘Those losers who got trampled every year at the exchange meeting…!’
It should have been the same this time, and it actually was going that way.
Until some random bastard showed up.
“What about that Yoo Jin-hyeok bastard? Did you investigate him?”
“Yes. We searched as thoroughly as possible, but…”
The Secretary Manager’s voice trailed off.
“There were no traces worth mentioning. We visited the old town registered as his address, but he had moved away long ago. He hadn’t engaged in any notable activities either. He wasn’t affiliated with anywhere.”
“Does that make any sense!!!”
“I’m, I’m sorry!”
The Secretary Manager squeezed his eyes shut and bowed his head.
But aside from apologizing, he had nothing more to tell.
He was going crazy too.
Hosaka Rena was Japan’s rising new powerhouse.
She was receiving the nation’s expectations as someone who would become the second Matsuna Hiyori.
Since Yoo Jin-hyeok had completely destroyed such a person in one blow, it would be normal for him to have left noticeable traces as well.
Yet somehow, they couldn’t find anything.
“Could someone be erasing his traces?”
“What? What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying Genex is hiding that bastard?”
“It’s probably not Genex. If they really wanted to hide him, they wouldn’t have brought him to the exchange meeting.”
The Security Manager, who had been thinking for a moment, continued.
“Besides, even Genex couldn’t erase traces this perfectly. If we had to find a culprit, a government agency would be most natural. The first thing that comes to mind is the Player Hunter Bureau.”
Judo exhaled deeply and drummed his fingers.
Then he opened his mouth at a name that came to mind.
“Don’t tell me this bastard is… a Runner?”
“It’s possible.”
“But that’s strange, isn’t it? Why would they erase his traces? The Player Hunter Bureau could just take him away.”
“If I may cautiously speculate, the Runner might have refused. In a world where even slightly talented people are desperate to make themselves known, the Runner thoroughly hides himself in anonymity. He might not have wanted his existence revealed in the first place. The Player Hunter Bureau chose to hide his existence as a second-best option instead of recruitment.”
“So flies wouldn’t swarm around him?”
“Yes. If he’s a Runner, it wouldn’t just be flies swarming. Of course, there are parts that don’t make sense if we assume he’s just a Runner. Why would someone who tried so hard to remain anonymous come to the exchange meeting, and why did he act so… conspicuously after coming? Moreover, when fighting Jo Gang-tae, the Runner’s weapon was chains. He showed proficiency as if he had trained for a very long time. Yet such a person suddenly uses a sword.”
“It could be a disguise. A deception to raise the very doubts you just mentioned, Woo Ryu.”
In fact, Yoo Jin-hyeok had only swung a wooden sword once.
And it was just one very simple swing from top to bottom.
Judo sank into his chair.
Though he couldn’t be certain yet, a sufficiently plausible hypothesis had been established.
“How’s Rena?”
“She finished treatment and is recovering. She has some external injuries, but the injuries themselves aren’t severe.”
At least it was fortunate that his granddaughter was safe.
But he couldn’t end it like this.
His granddaughter’s wounds would heal completely with time.
However, the wounds carved into the family’s pride would never heal on their own.
Not unless he took revenge on those bastards who inflicted these wounds.
“Assuming Yoo Jin-hyeok is a Runner and the state is protecting him. Would the Player Hunter Bureau have permitted his participation in the exchange meeting?”
“Probably not. Even if it’s a gathering of just a few families, secrets wouldn’t be kept. Whether Genex brought him or he followed on his own, they probably didn’t get government permission.”
“In such a situation, what would happen if Genex lost the Runner?”
Silence suddenly filled the chairman’s office.
Because they realized what Judo wanted to say.
“Genex would be in serious trouble.”
Judo’s lips curved up in a long smile.
Genex, whom he had always wanted to crush, and Yoo Jin-hyeok, who had properly screwed over his family at this exchange meeting.
This was a good opportunity to pay back both of them at once.
Judo stared at Security Manager Woo Ryu.
A powerhouse who had trained in Kyokushin karate even before awakening, and after awakening, climbed to the 70th floor in one go, making his name known throughout Japan.
He handled work flawlessly and cleanly, making him the most trustworthy person in the company.
“Secretary Manager, contact the Kobe Yamaguchi-gumi. Tell them I want to see them. And Woo Ryu, you take my grandsons to the exchange meeting. Make some excuse about being away briefly for my granddaughter’s treatment. And confirm whether that bastard is really a Runner or not. Can you do it?”
“Yes. Just leave it to me. If I can just fight him, I’ll figure it out quickly.”
This wasn’t baseless confidence.
Woo Ryu had watched the video of the Runner fighting Jo Gang-tae.
When pushed into a defensive position, he would definitely pull out his main weapon.
There was no way he, a mid-70th floor Try Player, couldn’t manage at least that much.
“Hmm.”
Judo let out a low hum and raised the corners of his mouth.
His mood, which had been at its worst, began to improve.
Matsuna Family Shrine, West Wing.
“I see.”
Seira smiled faintly.
As soon as he was finally alone, Jinhyeok manifested Seira.
And he told her about the memory he had seen while obtaining Muramasa.
Seira quietly gazed at Muramasa lying on the ground.
“The fact that the sword is here now means things went as Kamen wanted. That’s fortunate. But master.”
“Yeah?”
“How was Kamen’s end?”
Jinhyeok shook his head.
“Same as with Sein. Nothing about the end came up.”
Seira placed her hand on her chest.
Though it was very long ago, they were comrades and friends who had roamed battlefields together.
She earnestly hoped they had met the end they desired.
“Let’s follow a bit more. We might learn something in the process of finding the sword.”
“Understood. May I try holding the sword?”
“Of course.”
Perhaps because old friend Kamen was reflected in Muramasa.
Seira carefully picked up the sword.
Ding!
‘Huh?’
Jinhyeok’s eyes widened at the message that suddenly appeared.
There shouldn’t be anything appearing at this timing?
[Yodo Muramasa has not forgotten its true master Kamen Bride! And Seira Kinketon, the leader of the Black Knight Order whom master Kamen respected above all and trusted more than anyone. Muramasa recognizes her presence!]
[A qualified person has grasped the sword! Yodo Muramasa is registered as Seira Kinketon’s Bogu!]
[Yodo Muramasa’s grade is being determined!]
[Yodo Muramasa]
# Level Requirement: 201.
# Grade: Legendary.
# Type: One-handed sword.
# Attack Power: 1000.
# Unique Effect: Demonic Energy Growth.
## Each time a life is taken, the demonic energy dwelling in Muramasa grows stronger.
# Unique Activation Skill: Demonic Energy Release.
## Releases the demonic energy accumulated in the sword.
‘Oh shit.’
Jinhyeok stroked his lips.
A Legendary had dropped.
Even a level 201 requirement activation weapon at that.
This was a sword whose price was impossible to determine.
He examined Seira’s Bogu in the status window.
Yodo Muramasa had been added following Tarkan the Dark Sword.
Unlike Tarkan which was still locked, the stats he had just seen were listed below Muramasa.
‘There’s no way I could bring this over with a Blank Card.’
Level requirement 201.
He could clearly see it would spit out a “Ptui!” the moment he held up the card.
Even Seira, the highest level in the party, couldn’t use it.
The conditions seemed to say: if you want to wield it, hurry up and clear the Quest to advance to Legendary.
Jinhyeok, who had been examining Muramasa with sparkling eyes, raised his head.
And he gazed at Seira with a smile.
Seira tilted her head with a question mark expression.
Jinhyeok looked at her with a pleased and proud face.
“What’s wrong?”
“I told you. The Black Knight Order would never regret having Seira as their leader.”
If Kamen had regretted it, if he had resented Seira, Muramasa would have felt the same.
It would never have acknowledged her as its new master.
Seira smiled faintly.
“I see. At least Kamen does.”
Truly stubborn as iron.
He wanted to quickly show her that the other knights felt the same way.
“Let’s go update the Quest.”
[Entering the 6th Floor of the Mythic Tower. No ticket will be consumed.]
The Chamber of Swords spread out before their eyes.
Seira walked toward Kamen Bride’s statue holding Muramasa.
Ding!
[The statue of Black Knight Kamen Bride is being activated!]
Purple energy seeped out from the statue.
At the same time, the statue changed its posture, kneeling on one knee and bowing its head.
It was as if it had recognized that Seira, its leader and commander of the knight order, was standing before it.
[The clear conditions for Legendary Quest ‘Traces of the Black Knight Order’ are being updated!]
# Conditions remaining until clear: Activation of the other two statues.
Jinhyeok threw an uppercut into the air.
With this, Quest 1/3 was complete.
At the entrance of the Matsuna Family Shrine.
Woo Ryu and Judo’s grandsons got out of the sedan that had stopped.
The shrine maidens of the Matsuna Family blocked the stairs.
“You cannot enter from here.”
“I’m Security Manager Woo Ryu, serving Chairman Hosaka Judo. These people are from the Hosakawa Clan as you know. Step aside.”
“I’m sorry, but the Hosakawa Clan has already left the Exchange Meeting Hall without permission. You cannot enter until this exchange meeting ends.”
“It was a choice made for Miss Hosaka Rena’s treatment. Although Miss Rena couldn’t return in the end, Hosaka has come back wanting to participate in the exchange meeting until the end.”
“Even so, you cannot enter. Regardless of the reason, anyone who has left once cannot return until the exchange meeting ends. That is the rule of the exchange meeting established by the Matsuna Family.”
Perhaps because things weren’t going his way.
Woo Ryu’s face contorted.
And just as he was about to shout again.
“It’s the rule.”
A shadow appeared from the upper stairs.
The Tiger of Kansai, perfectly revived with Jinhyeok’s help.
It was the appearance of Matsuna Hiyori.
