A bright red light flashed from the overturned card.

- Oops!

As soon as the red light rose, darkness folded the blade and went backwards.

“Because it is also darkness.”

Baek Woojin smiled and looked at the hologram window that appeared behind the card.

[The attribute 'Temperance' is created.]

"moderation?"

-Huh?

Baek Woojin's brow furrowed when he saw the character's name, and the dark darkness he had been hiding quickly approached.

“What is this… .”

- Temperance?

There was a little hope in the voice of darkness.

The name of the trait created by Legendary is Temperance, and I didn't think it was a good trait because it felt like a bad name from the start.

-please!

“You’re also very goofy.”

-Noisy and quickly turn on information!

Darkness eagerly watched Baek Woojin turn on the explanation of temperance.

[moderation]

Decreases the amount of points used to raise stats.

Application Restrictions: All stats are above the upper level.

"Wow!"

-crazy!

The explanation was simple, but the content made the darkness and Baek Woojin astonished.

“Invitation! When you raise your stats, you say you reduce points?”

- Creepy... .

Baek Woojin burst into laughter engulfed in joy, and darkness lost hope and frowned.

“How much is it decreasing?”

Baek Woojin turned on the status window again and raised his physical ability by 1. Points that were 3700 became 2900.

“It’s 800!”

Thanks to temperance, the ability to raise stats was reduced by 200 points from 1,000 points to 800 points.

- Lee, two hundred?

From darkness came the grinding of teeth that were not there.

- Two hundred!

As Baek Woojin goes from advanced to superlative, the ability he needs to raise is over 100.

-Uh... .

If 200 is lost per stat, the reduced points will exceed 20,000. It was such an amazing effect that it would not be strange even if the soul escaped.

“It’s much better than a legendary item.”

- I can't stand it anymore.

"Huh?"

Darkness suddenly began to struggle to get out of his window.

"What are you doing?"

-I'm going to go up there and come face to face with the system that's been watching us. I can't stand it anymore!

“So.”

Baek Woojin did not dry it, but opened the window telling him to take care of it. Darkness rose into the sky as soon as the window was opened.

“It’s futile to look at it that way.”

He and the darkness were bound by their souls and could not be separated for a long time. It will be back in less than a minute.

-Shit! Someday for sure!

After a minute, darkness returned automatically and cried out at the blue sky.

“Look, that’s futile.”

Baek Woojin relaxedly drank coffee and smiled.

* * *

“Woah, Woojin-ah.”

Baek Myung-hoon, who was sitting in the lobby, stood up when Baek Woojin went out for the battle.

He was so nervous that his lips and hands were trembling.

‘What’s going on?’

When Baek Myung-hoon looked at himself, he was busy running away like a mouse in front of a cat. It was the first time I stopped by calling my name.

"what?"

“Ah, that… .”

Baek Myung-hoon could not easily open his mouth and hesitated.

“If you don’t have anything to say, go.”

"Wait a minute! I have something to tell you!”

“Then tell me.”

Unlike Baek Myung-hoon, who was nervous, Baek Woojin was overflowing with leisure. He had a face that didn't care whether he spoke or not.“All right, can’t we talk about it somewhere else?”

“It’s annoying.”

"please! Please."

"Follow me."

Baek Woojin, who looked at Baek Myung-hoon for a moment, nodded his head and moved first. Baek Myung-hun swallowed his dry saliva and followed after him.

‘It’s new.’

Baek Woojin looked at the warehouse behind Baekwijeon and smiled softly.

- What do you mean?

‘If you look at it, my first fight is no different than this.’

I still vividly remember how I defeated Baek Myung-hoon at this very place three years ago and got the unexpected quest reward.

Using that reward and confidence as a driving force, he has now become a 7th-grade swordsman in a top-notch spirit company, so he couldn't help but be new.

"Say it."

In a situation where their positions were completely reversed from three years ago, Baek Woojin bowed his head to Baek Myung-hoon.

“I, I am about to give up being the heir.”

Baek Myung-hoon, who hesitated for a while, barely opened his mouth.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“Let me go under you!”

Baek Myung-hoon bit his lip until it bled and then opened his mouth.

- What does he mean?

‘You want to come under me?’

- Are you out of your mind?

‘It’s not that strange.’

-Why?

‘Since Baek Seon-ah is dead, Baek Myung-hoon must have thought he might die too.’

Baek Woojin looked at Baek Myung-hoon without changing his expression.

‘I don’t know what the other brothers are thinking, so it must have come to me with a good reputation.’

- No matter how much you say that to your brother who bullied you?

‘It must be that desperate.’

- Ttttttt.

I've seen them for years, but no one in this family really understands.

“Why me?”

“You, if it were you, even if I became the head of state, I would risk my life… .”

“You mean you’re not going to purge?”

“Yeah, yes.”

As expected, Baek Myung-hoon had come to save his life.

- How do you know he's going to turn out like that?

‘As I said before, Myung-Hoon Baek is very scared. He must have compared many things to find a way to live.’

Baek Woojin immediately figured out what Baek Myung-hoon was thinking.

“It’s someone else, but what about the third hyung?”

“Seo and Seonghyun hyung are always smiling, but he can’t figure out what he’s thinking since someday.”

“From someday?”

“When I saw his brother, he sometimes felt strange. It's like stepping into an ice cave... .”

- Because I'm scared, I'm quick to see.

‘Is it a survival instinct?’

It seems that Baek Myung-hoon felt another face of Baek Sung-hyun just like himself.

“Once you know.”

"Huh?"

“I will know.”

“Then accept… .”

“That’s not it.”

Baek Woojin shook his head.

“I can’t trust you right away now. I will think about it.”

It is he who controls the present situation. It didn't matter whether I had to give this answer right away or not at all.

“Oh, yes. Yes, but... .”

“Go.”

"Yes. Please.”

Baek Myung-hoon nodded his head and stepped back.

- What are you going to do?

“I have no intention of killing Baek Myung-hoon, but I have no intention of taking him down. But if I become the head of the household, he will take care of leaving the family.”

Baek Woojin laughed at the space where Baek Myung-hoon disappeared.

“Because the privileges that were as natural as breathing until now will all disappear.”

* * *

“See you, Master!”

When Baek Woojin entered the swordsmanship, the medical swordsman prosecutors rushed to take an example.

“How are you?”

“I trained to fall out of shit!”

Kim Woo-hyuk raised his hand and shouted.

“Kim Woo-hyuk!”

"it's okay. If you train to fall out of shit, you have to admit it.”

The owner, Hong Nam-gi, tried to stop Kim Woo-hyuk, but Baek Woojin smiled and waved his hand.

"young master. May I ask you a question?”

Hyeri Park raised her hand.

"Tell me."

“Is the content posted on the Blind Effects really true?”

“Blind effect? I don't know what you mean?"

“There was a post saying that the master had defeated Hwangho.”

The question was asked by Hyeri Park, but because everyone was curious, all the prosecutors swallowed dry saliva and looked only at Baek Woojin.

"okay. It is true.”

Baek Woojin laughed and nodded his head.

“Wow!”

“I told you it was real!”

“No one believed me!”

"Amazing, Great! That Hwangho, our master beat the 7th grade!”

The prosecutors could not calm their excitement, with their faces stained red.

They feel happy that Baek Woojin, who they follow and who teaches them, is a prosecutor who defeated Hwangho.

“You did a good job talking about Hwang-ho.”

Baek Woojin raised his hand to silence everyone. All the prosecutors shut their mouths and focused their eyes on Baek Woojin.

“As you all know, Hwang-ho is a strong person who reached level 7 a long time ago. If it was normal, I wouldn't be able to catch up with the person I am today. But he gave it all up in one defeat.”

"Ah… .”

“He let go of the water lily, fell into the trap of catching the quince and only dealt with people who were worse than him. So, he became not a hogirl in the mountains, but a being less than a stray cat. He's nothing to brag about."

Everyone in the medical school knew what Baek Woojin was trying to say and listened to him with their eyes shining.

“Defeat can happen to anyone. The important thing is how to overcome it. Let’s not only develop force, but also develop mental strength that won’t go away even in defeat.”

"all right!"

“I will keep that in mind!”

The medical examiners clenched their fists and answered loudly.

“Then start training again!”

"Yes!"

Prosecutors scattered across the gymnasium and began individual training.

“It was a good speech.”

Moon Joo-young came over with a smile.

“It wasn’t good, it wasn’t a speech.”

Baek Woojin shook his head in embarrassment.

"no. It was really good. I'm impressed... .”

“Don’t be rude, what is that?”

Baek Woojin stopped Moon Ju-young from weeping, and pointed to the envelope he had.

“This is a new mission.”

“It really annoys me.”

“But, not the master’s name, but the name of the seven swordsman.”

“Seven swords?”

Baek Woojin took the envelope and opened it. As Moon Ju-Young said, the mission was not his name, but the name of the seven swordsmen.

- It's not you, it looks like you're trying to get the medical swords team on a mission.

‘Rank 4 Rift Defense?’

The level of the current medical swordsman squad was in the early to mid-late 4th grade, so it was an appropriate task.

‘Not bad.’

If the area where the rift will occur, the association's and other guilds will also come, so it will be easy to solve.

“Tell me you’ll get it.”

Baek Woojin nodded his head as he returned the envelope to Moon Ju-young.

“Hey, are we finally getting our mission?”

Ara Hong came to Baek Woojin, shaking her lips.

“You did your job. Why are you like the first time?”

“It wasn’t an official mission. Ah, suddenly my heart... .”

Hong Ara grabbed her own chest and trembled. She improved a lot, but she was still very nervous and shy.

“A mission?”

"mission?"

After hearing the sound of the mission, the medical swordsman prosecutors gathered again.

- Not even kids.

‘That means that they wanted the opportunity to play an active part.’

The sight of the prosecutors running was like children flocking to the sweets.

“I have to explain what happened. A mission has come down to you. Its mission is to protect grade 4 rifts... .”Baek Woojin explained the contents of the mission book to the prosecutors.

“This mission is done only by you.”

"Yes?"

“I am really?”

“Without the deputy master or the door escort?”

“This is a mission that has been passed down to you from the beginning. The difficulty is moderate, and there will be other talented people besides you, so there will be no problem.”

"However… .”

Prosecutors, especially Hong Ara, looked worried, but Baek Woojin did not change his mind.

“To prepare your body and mind for the mission.”

* * *

“Whew… .”

Hong Ara looked up at her sky and sighed.

Neither Baek Woojin nor Moon Ju-young really came, but arrived at the place where only the medical sword stand was opened.

“Less than fifteen minutes left.”

The briefing went well, but the tension started to grow as the time for the crack to open drew nearer.

For fear of harming other swordsmen, she was much more nervous than when she came to the dungeon alone.

“If you’re so nervous, you won’t be able to move properly.”

Hyeri Park approached and tapped Ara Hong on the shoulder.

“But I thought that if I did something wrong, someone else would get hurt.”

“It’s what you did last time.”

“But this time we are the center. There is no master.”

“In the future, there will be many cases where we will have to do missions alone without the master. And if you make a mistake, we'll fix it, so don't worry."

Hong Nam-gi, who came next to her, smiled as if not to worry.

“I don’t fit. If you make a mistake, training is doubled.”

“Ugh… .”

Hong A-ra, who was about to relax thanks to Park Hye-ri and Hong Nam-ki, frowned at Kim Woo-hyuk's words.

“Ugh! Make an impression?”

“I didn’t tell you.”

“Stop it, get ready. not much left."

Hong Nam-gi closed the gap between the two and sighed.

“Our actions will affect the reputation of Master Baek Woojin. It doesn't matter on the inside, but be careful on the outside."

"okay."

"sorry."

“Let’s stand in formation.”

At Hong Nam-ki's instructions, the medical examiners stood in the order of the examination. Their eyes were shining with excitement, tension and anticipation.

"come!"

* * *

"you're good."

Baek Woojin was chewing popcorn on the roof of a building and looking down.

Where his gaze was directed, the medical sword corps and other talented people were fighting fiercely with the 4th grade monster hobgoblin.

“Our kids fight the best!”

Baek Woojin smiled proudly. His smile was like the face of his father as he watched his son taunt him.

- I thought so. You bastard child!

“Since I’m doing the training myself, I feel good about it.”

-If you do it twice, I'll follow you on your honeymoon later. ttt!

Darkness shook her head as if tired of it, but she couldn't take her eyes off Ara Hong.

“You’re worried about Ara too. It’s the disciple we grew up with.”

- What are you talking about? Did you just see it?

“Oh my, is that so?”

-G, it's real!

"okay. okay."

Baek Woojin smiled and looked down again.

There are associations and other guilds, but the ones that stood out the most were their own swordsmen.

“Oh, it’s delicious.”

Maybe because of my proud heart, the popcorn and cola were super sweet.

- Is there anything special today?

“Anything special?”

-Everything that has to do with your guy is going to explode.

“There is nothing today.”

I can't remember everything, but I do remember everything that was special or happened for the first time.

Today, if you just close that crack, everything will be over.

“The rift is almost closing. Shall we go back first?”

It was time for Baek Woojin to get up and start stretching.

hey hey!

Emergency evacuation sirens began to sound throughout the city.
