Regressor Takes Everything-Chapter 101: I'm a bit praiseworthy!
"A curse?"
Kang Yu-shik asked, slightly startled, and Andbari answered in a slightly vague voice.
"Oh, isn't it? But I feel a little nauseous….."
"If it's a joke, I will hang you."
"Oh, no! wait a minute! Hey! Help me!"
"I'm such an idiot… Please wait a moment, as we will analyze it."
The story was cut off as soon as a faint alarm rose from Persval, and Lee Jeong-ryong made a puzzled expression.
"Um? Is there something wrong?"
"Oh. I think you're stronger than the last time I saw you."
Answers came naturally as if they had prepared in advance, and Lee Jeong-ryong smiled lightly as if he wasn't in a bad mood.
Hearing that from the world's most famous cadet.
"Glory to you."
It's overrated.
"If you float, it means that my face is gilded, so just listen to me like that.
"Oh, this story has been getting longer. Let's finish the rest of the story after going inside."
"All right."
The two of them entered the house separately, and Kang Yu-sik went through the hallway and living room and glanced around lightly.
The interior is decorated only to the extent necessary rather than luxuriously decorated. In the meantime, the protective facilities were installed with great care, but it was a landscape that showed Lee Jeong-ryong's personality.
"There are quite a few guys who usually say that they're S-class… He's a well-prepared yangban."
Actually, an S-class hunter has better abilities than any other protection facility, so there is little need to have it, but it is probably because Lee Jeong-ryong thought about Lee Byeong-ho rather than himself.
"Come this way."
When he went to the kitchen, two middle-aged men who looked like housekeepers bowed their heads to greet them, and a table full of food was revealed. It seems like they paid a lot of attention to food, which is more luxurious than any high-end limited restaurant. After eating, the three of them went out to the living room and had tea.
"Did the food fit your taste?"
"Yes. It was delicious."
"I'm glad that you liked it. I was worried that it might not suit your taste as the only people I usually eat with were me and Byeong-ho."
In Lee Jung-ryong's story, Kang Yu-sik looked at the rest of the sofa. The group consisted of a grandson and a younger grandson in total, but with the exception of the younger grandson, Lee Byung-ho, all of them had moved out of their hometowns and lived separately. Because Chang was in a fight over the right of succession to the guild, it was said that the parents who pushed him to be the successor, caused a backlash.
And when the parents left their younger son, they said,
Lee Byung-ho is actually Lee Jung-ryong’s illegitimate son!
There were all sorts of gossip about it, but little was known about it. Lee Byung-ho cut off the story because he did not feel it was worth answering, and the family also moved to another guild after being pushed out of the struggle for succession.
As Kang Yu-sik was making a slightly interesting expression, Lee Jeong-ryong, who was drinking tea, put down his teacup and opened his mouth.
"The last time I saw you it was only a few months ago… In the meantime, you've become like a completely different person."
"Is that so?"
"To be honest, I thought it might be someone else."
Lee Jeong-ryong, who lightly glanced over Kang Yu-sik's body, still had an unbelievable expression on his face.
A period of explosive growth is bound to come for every hunter, and he was able to grow into an S-class hunter by the end of the day.
Therefore, Lee Jung-ryong could understand that Hunter's explosive growth was like that, but Kang Yu-sik was a little different.
Magic power has more than doubled… His body has grown beyond comparison.
In particular, although others may not know, Lee Jeong-ryong, who has been training for many years, can clearly see how much of Kang Yu-sik's musculature has changed.
Previously, it was a rather crude gemstone, but now it is a gem that has been almost completely processed. He showed great talent in the martial arts, not his major.
Potential that is overwhelmingly superior to his grandson, whom he thought no one would follow among his peers.
Lee Jung-ryong, who had come to a conclusion, looked at Kang Yu-sik and asked.
"Hey. Do you have any guilds that you've known about?"
"Ha, Grandpa?"
Lee Byung-ho looked at Lee Jeong-ryong's story with a surprised expression. He said that he wouldn't say anything like a guild invitation when Kang Yoo-sik came. So why is he bringing up that topic now?
While Lee Byung-ho was bewildered, Kang Yu-sik looked into Lee Jung-ryong's eyes looking at him.
Lee Jung-ryong said that he will be recruited no matter what.
Kang Yu-sik pondered on how to respond to this and then opened his mouth.
He said,
"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of joining a separate guild."
“You mean you have no intention of joining the guild?”
"Yes."
In response to Kang Yoo-sik's answer, Lee Jeong-ryong noticed what he meant and looked at him slightly in surprise.
“Are you thinking of setting up a separate guild?”
“I think so now.”
"That's… No, I'm sure you can do it."
Lee Jeong-ryong, who was trying to say that it wasn't easy, realized that he was wrong and nodded his head.
Considering the fame that is accumulating under Kang Yoo-sik, the creation of a guild is nothing short of a piece of cake. And if you think about the big name, other guilds won't be able to check it in haste.
"If you were aiming for something like this from the beginning… That's scary."
Usually, cadets try to join an existing guild after proving their abilities but rarely think about creating a guild from scratch.
"But, assuming that you will create a guild from the beginning, have you expanded your feet like this and laid the foundation?"
Jung-ryong saw Kang Yoo-sik in front of him again. A little giant that already stands on its own. Recognizing the power, Lee Jeong-ryong gave up the recruitment neatly and made another proposal.
"Then what about collaboration?"
"Collaboration! You mean?"
“If you establish a guild in the future, Chang will be collaborating with the guild, even if it’s small. It’s a collaboration, but in fact, it’s the same as forming an alliance. But… the problem is that the number of enemies increases as well. Forming an alliance with someone is the same as becoming someone's enemy in the end."
It isn't a very good option if you want to be neutral, but in fact, Kang Yoo-sik didn't even want to keep it neutral.
"Your words are neutral because if you make a mistake, you'll be hit with a punching bag."
Before the regression, there were many groups that burst and disappeared, so even Kang Yu-sik does not intend to hold on to a precarious position.
In that sense, Chang doesn’t have too many enemies and it’s not bad, except for the fact that the guild will collapse in the future. When Kang Yoo-sik is contemplating on a slightly unexpected choice.
He heard Persval's slightly sulky voice in his ear
"I'm still trying to analyze it. Some information is not sufficient to draw conclusions."
"What are you missing?"
"To put it simply, there is not enough battle data. To finish the analysis, we need battle data."
After thinking about what to do for a while, Kang made a decision and looked at Jeong-ryong.
"It's still too early to give a definitive answer. It seems difficult."
"Oh, that's right. I'm sorry."
Kang Yu-sik smiled softly at Lee Jeong-ryong's mischievous expression.
"No. I'm just grateful to you for valuing me that much."
"Haha. You think so, you're all right."
“And there is one thing I would like to ask you.”
"Hmm? What's going on?"
At Lee Jung-ryong’s question, Kang Yu-sik looked at him with serious eyes.
”Would you mind teaching me a few tricks?"
The training room in the basement of the main house.
Unlike the neatly decorated upper part, this one was equipped with all the latest equipment, but it seemed that special attention was paid to handling the power of S-class hunter Lee Jeong-ryong.
"If you do something wrong, the ground around this area will fall down."
Lee Jung-ryong, who had changed into training clothes, asked.
"Do the clothes fit?"
"Yes. They are alright."
"Just in case, I've prepared them by size, but it's all done."
After releasing his body, Jeong-ryong lightly swung the spear for practice in his hand, then looked at Kang.
"Continue until the barrier is destroyed or surrender is declared. Would that be ok?"
"Yes. That's enough."
Originally, he was at a disadvantage in such a narrow place, so he took that part into consideration.
“Can you give me one minute for casting?”
"Would that be enough?”
One minute is not a short time, but it is also insufficient to prepare a proper magic.
It would be even more difficult if the opponent was stronger than him, but Kang Yu-sik nodded his head.
"Yes, that's enough."
"Hmm. I see."
Jung-ryong with an interesting expression stood back, and Kang stood up and they met each other.
With an interesting expression on his face, Lee Jeong-ryong stepped back, and Kang Yu-sik also stood up.
And Lee Byung-ho, who stood outside the dungeon, looked at the two with a tense expression.
“So. Start!”
Lee Byung-ho called and pressed the stopwatch on his cell phone at the same time, and Kang Yu-sik was immersed in thought as he cast the magic.
It is foolish to wage a firepower battle against an S-class hunter in one minute, and above all, it is difficult to obtain battle data.
"In the end, it is going to be a draw, but this is not an easy task considering the strength and career of the opponent."
Therefore, Kang Yu-sik prepared magic for defense in a way that he could react in any situation, and Lee Jeong-ryong looked at him quietly while holding his posture.
And when the promised one minute passed, the stopwatch's alarm sounded in the training room.
Tuung…
Lee Jeong-ryong's spear rushed in front of Kang Yu-sik's nose.
Paang!!
The spear, which had been brushed off with an intermittent car, exploded a shock wave, and at the same time, the magic circle created by Kang Yu-sik on the ground was activated.
Kwagaach!
Lee Jeong-ryong stirred while thrusting a spear instead of retreating back to the wind that rose from the ground.
Then, the wind was drawn along the tip of his spear, and Lee Jeong-ryong, who caught the storm, twisted his wrist at once and rotated his spear.
Paang!
The Twin Tempest was crushed in front of a simple rotation.
The skill itself used is a B-class skill, ‘Twin Tempest', but with the addition of Lee Jung-ryong's own magic operation method, it overwhelmed the A-class skill.
"I'm afraid someone isn't S-class…!"
Kang Yu-sik, who already knew he was going to block it, immediately unfolded the prepared magic one after another without panicking.
The naturalization spear that penetrated the Lightning Excel was shot with a frightening force, and Lee Jeong-ryong was amazed at the incredible speed and accuracy.
"You can handle accelerated magic with this level of accuracy."
Because Lee Jeong-ryong had rich experience in combating wizards, he could immediately see how excellent Kang Yu-sik's skills were. However, contrary to his surprise, his body calmly avoided the attack, and the attack that dug into the gap was neatly speared.
A counterattack without any shake was hit.
Kang Yu-sik's eyes lit up at the movement that showed the age and strength he had accumulated over the years.
"This is not enough! Is this all you've got!!"
Kang Yu-sik, determined to somehow elicit Lee Jung-ryong's reaction, immediately took out the orb he had prepared for multicasting.
Woo-woong!
A circular sphere made of blue magic. Lee Jung-ryong's eyes widened at the magic of a form he had never seen in his life. In the moment of loss, Kang Yu-sik put the naturalization spear's magic formula inside the orb.
The blue orb got red, and after a while, a naturalization spear was created around it and rushed towards Lee Jeong-ryong at a frightening speed.
Up to that point, there was no difference from what Kang Yu-sik had done a while ago, but Jeong-ryong, who was swinging a spear to block it, widened his eyes at the naturalization spear that was starting to speed up.
"Are you accelerating even more than before? How can you accelerate to this extent while creating a magic the size of me?"
Kang Yoo-sik twisted his lips at Lee Jung-ryong's startled appearance and said,
"You must have seen automatic magic for the first time."
Automatic casting with orb applied. Kang created a naturalization spear just by supplying magical power through it and is concentrating on the placement of Lightning Excel and pouring out the bombardment faster.
This alone surprised Lee Jeong-ryong quite a bit, but the real attack started now.
Ku Gugung…
A strange wave of magical power that was faintly felt around.
Lee Jeong-ryong hurriedly turned his head to the surroundings, and his eyes widened as he discovered a part of the magic circle created on the surrounding floor.
"You put a magic circle in an explosion… …"
Jeong-ryong was about to move in to an unidentified magic circle that was almost complete.
Aiming at that gap, fireworks exploded in front of his eyes.
The power was so poor that it wasn't even worth avoiding, so Lee Jung-ryong swung his spear to destroy the magic circle while being hit.
Clap!
The magic circle was completed by the sparks that exploded in front of them.
Aww aww!!
A firepower condensation magic circle that stores the scattered firepower and then explodes again.
Kang Yu-sik opened the link immediately blew the orb and then mixed some more magic.
Gee-!
A magic circle that maintains firepower by supplying magic power and purifies the heat scattered around it.
It used to be a trap that was installed and used for a whole day before returning to ‘Yeomokpyo', which thoroughly roasts opponents in flames, but now it is used as a linking device!
Kwaga each!
At the furnace of huge flames created right in front of him, Kang made a surprised expression even though he had created it himself.
"Am I not strong?"
Even though it was the first time he had used it in real life, Lee Jung-ryong, an S-class hunter, became so helpless!
With superior power, Kang checked Lee Jeong-ryong's barrier state during the next casting.
[Lee Jeong-ryong -54%]
He checked the barriers that still remained.
Zhu-!
A blue crescent moon erupted from the inside of the flame jade that surrounded Lee Jeong-ryong, splitting it in half, and then a blue flash of light pierced the orb. In the blink of an eye, Lee Jeong-ryong, who smashed the jade and orb, looked at Kang Yoo-sik, wiping the sweat from his face.
"If you want to know all of this, you need to surprise me even more. Do you still have anything hidden?"
"Maybe there are a few more."
"Hahaha. That's right. There's more to it than this…."
Lee Jung-ryong burst into laughter and regained his stance, and pointed the tip of his spear at Kang Yoo-sik.
The blue aura is clearly condensed throughout the window.
"Looks like you got one right."
Kang Yoo-sik realized that he had been recognized by Lee Jung-ryong, and smiled nervously at the same time. Originally, it was certain that it would be broken with a spear attack by S-class hunter Lee Jeong-ryong, but this time it's different.
"I found out."
"A curse?"
As a result of analysis, it appears to be a curse related to ‘aging'.
"Indeed. Aging."
Kang Yu-sik was able to understand the sense of incongruity felt in Lee Jeong-ryong's appearance.
And at the same time, a number of thoughts of how he could win against Lee Jung-ryong came to mind.
"It's hard to remember just like this…"
Kang Yu-sik raised the corners of his lips in the studio pictured in his mind.
"I have to say thank you to Ban Hye-Young."
