Only I Have Two Towers Episode 184
Raw Stone
A cloud of dust obscured his vision.
Nothing was visible right now.
But he wasn’t curious about what had happened beyond.
He already knew.
He could guarantee that the rock, having met an unbearable force, had shattered to pieces.
“Ha.”
He let out a hollow laugh.
The dokkaebi’s eyes were wide open.
It wasn’t just because of the result before his eyes.
His eyes had already been consumed by amazement even before the rock shattered.
Renia knew this result would come.
Long before Jinhyeok’s fist touched the rock, from the very beginning.
Did he have foresight?
No.
He simply realized it through the series of processes where Jinhyeok took his stance and threw his punch.
That the rock had no choice but to shatter.
‘What the hell is that.’
Jinhyeok had never learned martial arts.
Thanks to that, his punching stance was clumsy beyond measure.
So much so that any other martial artist would notice immediately.
But separately from that, Jinhyeok instinctively knew.
How to draw up his power.
Where and how to channel that power.
At what point and in what place to unleash the power he had drawn.
That’s why it shattered in a single blow.
‘All that effort in choosing was for nothing.’
He hadn’t chosen just any rock.
He had picked one that couldn’t be broken with simple brute force alone.
Because he wanted to see his master’s persistence, the process of reaching the destination.
But he ended up seeing something completely different.
His master Yoo Jin-hyeok, who had already possessed strong combat abilities from when they first met.
That’s why.
That’s why he had judged him to be a gem that had already been processed and had its shape and color determined.
But this was a terribly huge mistake.
That was a raw stone.
A raw stone that hadn’t even taken on color yet, despite being polished quite a lot.
What this meant was simple.
To reveal the gem’s color and outline, it still needed to absorb much more.
Both corners of Renia’s mouth rose long.
If he was already like this, what would happen if he learned properly?
What kind of gem would his master Yoo Jin-hyeok be completed as?
He couldn’t even dare to estimate.
But one thing he could be certain of.
The completed thing would surely be of a form and color that no one had ever seen.
Whether they had lived hundreds or thousands of years, no matter how much they had seen, none of that mattered.
Because it was a gem that had never existed before.
“Cough! Gweh!”
Jinhyeok covered his mouth with his hand.
Debris had entered his nose and mouth, making him feel like dying.
He squeezed his eyes shut at the oncoming dizziness.
He had just bathed! These were clothes he had just taken out of the dryer!
Well, what could he do.
He’d have to wash again when he got back.
But to think it shattered in one blow.
Even though he did it himself, he was a little surprised.
‘Is this the result of training.’
Drawing a satisfied smile, he offered thanks to Seira who would be at home.
Seira, who always emphasized basics and built them up solidly.
Thanks to her, he was able to break it.
Whether sword or fist, it was just a difference – the principles of power transmission and body movement were the same.
He pushed through the dust and went outside.
Oh my.
Jinhyeok was startled in surprise.
The dokkaebi Renia’s mouth corners had ascended to the heavens.
Not with a warm and gentle feeling, but with a feeling that he found it so interesting and enjoyable he couldn’t stand it.
By the time all the dust had settled, Jinhyeok stepped aside and pointed at the shattered rock.
“I broke…”
“Master.”
“Yes?”
“Become my disciple. I want to pound on you. To see what you’ll become.”
Gulp!
He wants to pound on him.
Was he dissatisfied with the process of breaking the rock? Or was it from when they first met?!
Whatever the reason.
‘Actually, that’s good.’
Getting beaten up was part of daily life anyway.
It would just be two or three more hits added to that.
In exchange, he could learn martial arts along with unlimited Q&A.
“Please take care of me. Master.”
“Which number am I?”
“You’re my fourth master.”
Renia’s mouth corners rose even higher.
In a way, it was natural.
From that Monster Knight to the Immortal, and even the elf whose age and depth of knowledge couldn’t be measured.
They had all recognized it.
How absurd a value the raw stone before their eyes possessed.
Renia, who had been looking at Jinhyeok, opened his mouth.
“You said you could learn two things?”
“Yeah. I’ll have to try engraving to know if it’s possible or not. Some things don’t work because of conditions.”
“Learn what I’m about to tell you.”
Renia held up two fingers.
“Master’s survival ability and the basics of martial arts. You’ll be able to obtain these two things.”
Jinhyeok called up his status window.
And selected Blank Card – Jin.
[Would you like to use Blank Card – Jin?]
After nodding his head, he engraved the traits that Renia called out.
He had gained a bare-handed combat master.
He returned from the mountain and finished another shower.
Refreshing. So refreshing.
As I came outside, I saw the Khanmo duo crouched down on the ground.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re cleaning the floor. Stone fragments are scattered around like Hansel and Gretel’s breadcrumbs.”
“Sorry. But Kancheo, you read fairy tales now?”
“I’m going to become the greatest intellectual among the Yodel tribe!”
“That’s nice.”
“Momo is already smart so she decided not to read them!”
“Go-good for you. But why are you two cleaning?”
I looked around.
Since the house is quite spacious, I bought two robot vacuum cleaners, didn’t I?
Buzzer No. 1 and Buzzer No. 2 were nowhere to be seen for some reason.
And for some reason, the two of them had frozen up.
Jinhyeok quietly approached and put his arms around Momo and Kancheo’s shoulders.
Flinch!
It’s 100 percent certain.
Something’s up.
“Khanmo duo. Where did the Buzzers go?”
“Hmm, that’s right. Where did they go?”
Momo pretended not to know and looked elsewhere.
Kancheo, who had been gulping nervously, suddenly stood up straight.
“Sir! Yodel Ranger Vice-Captain Kancheo! I have something to report to the Captain!”
Kancheo shouted loudly and pointed at Momo with his fluffy finger.
“Momo was fiddling around trying to upgrade the Buzzers and completely destroyed them!”
“Kyaaaaa!!”
Momo immediately rushed at him and grabbed Kancheo’s pointy ears.
The Khanmo duo temporarily disbanded.
I went to check the waiting area, but the Buzzers were nowhere to be seen.
I opened the wardrobe placed next to it.
Crash!
I squeezed my eyes shut.
Buzzer No. 1 and Buzzer No. 2 had died gloriously in battle.
Momo’s hands are very capable, but that doesn’t apply to all fields.
A prime example is her drawing skills, which are second only to Seira in being bad… no, uniquely creative.
It seems I should include machinery in that category too.
I put my hands together and declared to the Buzzer squad that had worked hard until now.
You are now liberated!
‘I’ll need to recruit Buzzer No. 3 and No. 4.’
After nodding, I left the room.
I had somewhere to go anyway. I should recruit them on the way back.
“Kyaaa! You disloyal badger!”
“How dare you swing your steamed bun fists!”
I pretended not to see the scene of bloody battle and passed by.
Originally, they grow through fighting.
I quickly went down to the underground parking lot and got on Duram No. 1.
When I started the engine, a powerful exhaust sound could be heard.
Looking at Duram No. 1 reminded me of the Buzzer squad that died gloriously in battle.
I need to be careful.
So that Momo doesn’t take interest in Duram No. 1.
I pulled the accelerator and left the officetel.
First destination.
I looked at the Yeongsanghoe building I quickly arrived at.
Perhaps because business is going well, it’s packed with customers today too.
Everyone must be busy, so I decided not to go inside.
Today I came to meet someone else.
“Oh, you’re here?”
Oh Jae-gap walked over, neatly dressed.
Jinhyeok tilted his head.
“Are you feeling unwell somewhere? You don’t usually use a cane.”
“Can’t you tell just by looking?”
Oh Jae-gap held out his cane.
Now that I look at it, something tiny is written on it.
“Huh? Isn’t this a really expensive brand?”
“Right. It’s like designer glasses without prescription?”
“I didn’t know you were interested in luxury brands. You always had a sage-like feeling.”
“I dress up when I go out. But surely.”
Oh Jae-gap pointed at Duram No. 1 with his cane.
“You came on that thing?”
“Yes.”
“Not a car?”
“I don’t have a driver’s license. The moment I grab the steering wheel, it’s handcuffs for me.”
“Where do I ride?”
When I patted the back seat, Oh Jae-gap frowned with a creak.
He had dressed up nicely for his first outing in a long time, but the back seat of a motorcycle?
He had no choice but to get on.
“Are you good at driving? Motorcycles are dangerous.”
“Probably?”
“I’m anxious.”
“At least I haven’t had any accidents.”
“How long have you had it?”
“Not even a month yet.”
“I’m getting off.”
I barely got him on, so I can’t let him get off.
Jinhyeok immediately pulled the accelerator and shot forward.
Oh Jae-gap was startled and gasped.
I guarantee this is the fastest vehicle I’ve ever ridden in my life.
Jinhyeok rode Duram No. 1 while looking at the navigation Oh Jae-gap had set up.
Today, Oh Jae-gap, who had deep roots in Dongdaemun, introduced me to a real estate agent.
Why real estate all of a sudden?
What other reason would there be for going to a real estate agency?
I’m going to look for a house.
‘I can’t delay this any longer.’
Our new friend who joined this morning, Renia.
Thanks to him, the rooms that were already precariously tight became insufficient.
So I suggested it.
If Renia felt uncomfortable, he could stay in his existing space without manifesting.
-I refuse.
I was rejected in one second.
Renia revealed that his space was at the top of some mountain.
Even if briefly, Renia had tasted the high-end officetel.
His body had become unable to return to the mountain where storms and rain raged.
For that reason, Renia was staying in Jinhyeok’s room together with Kancheo.
If he hadn’t thrown punches the moment they met, he would have been placed in Dark’s room.
But then the officetel would be smashed to pieces, right?
‘By the way, he’s riding quite well.’
It must have been an act at first.
Oh Jae-gap said nothing, though I was going to slow down if he said he was scared.
I checked the back through the rearview mirror.
His head was drooping down.
Grandfather?!
I waved my arm in surprise.
Only then did Oh Jae-gap come to his senses and open his eyes.
“What? Have we arrived….”
Gulp.
Jinhyeok swallowed his dry saliva.
The boy who fainted about five times while riding the gyro drop came to mind.
‘He’ll, he’ll be fine.’
I drove Duram Unit 1 carefully so he wouldn’t fall.
I’ll wake him when we arrive.
That would be better than making him faint again.
I slowly reduced speed.
# Luxury apartment for just 10 million won?! Lifetime interest-free loan! The apartment is waiting for you! Contact us immediately!
# We pride ourselves on being the best real estate agency in this area! More substantial experience than anyone! 0 times scammed!
A real estate agency covered with flashy banners.
It feels like advertising ‘I’m a scammer.’
After waiting a bit, a generous-looking owner came running out.
“Oh my, welcome! You must be the young man Grandfather Oh Jae-gap mentioned! My, what a nice impression! But Grandfather really sleeps at all hours.”
I didn’t bother to tell him.
That he had fainted.
“Hello.”
I smiled and greeted him, then looked at the owner.
Thanks to Oh Jae-gap’s wide connections, I was able to meet him.
One of Seoul’s top unscrupulous real estate brokers, that is.
