Chapter 261: The Will Continues (2)
Utilizing skills is an asset for means customers.
Although it could be a little bit of an odd analogy, it’s like a restaurant’s recipe.
Even in the event you knew the recipe, it’s not straightforward to copy it; realizing the recipe didn’t assure the enterprise would thrive. Nonetheless, simply realizing the recipe opened up varied paths.
That’s how necessary the know-how of utilizing skills was for means customers.
Identical to how ice means customers sat within the entrance row with their eyes extensive open throughout Baek Seol-hee’s means lectures, studying the strategies and know-how of utilizing skills from an skilled person was the important thing to shortly turning into stronger on this world.
Saying that you’d train all of your skills was like passing on every part you had gathered.
It’s not a tangible asset, nevertheless it’s a useful intangible asset that you simply had been keen to go on to me now.
“You’re a hero.”
When Gwang Ik Gong, no, Gwang Ik Gong Punch requested me to grow to be Gwang Ik Gong, that was the very first thing I mentioned.
“Even when it means giving every part to a villain, you need to depart simply your identify and defend the world?”
“It’s superb even when it’s not the identify Kim Jin-ho. If simply the identify Gwang Ik Gong can forestall villains from operating rampant and preserve the world peaceable, that’s adequate.”
There was no pretense in his phrases.
“It’s superb even when it’s only a cosplay of Gwang Ik Gong. Simply as soon as, it’s superb. Whether or not folks say the place is Gwang Ik Gong at this crucial time, I would like you to inherit the mantle of Gwang Ik Gong.”
“Why me?”
“As a result of nobody can display Gwang Ik Gong’s energy higher than you.”
There was no hypocrisy to look righteous in entrance of others.
“The S-class heroes in Korea proper now are missing in some ways. Solely Gwang Ik Gong can grow to be a logo of world peace. Identical to there’s a Goblin at nighttime world, there must be Gwang Ik Gong within the gentle world.”
“Do you suppose I’ll settle for it simply since you’re flattering me?”
“It’s not flattery, it’s the reality. Hyung.”
“…….”
If you happen to thought negatively, you would possibly think about it as sucking up for his personal profit.
“Nobody can replicate Gwang Ik Gong’s skills as successfully as you. Really, you would possibly even present it extra splendidly than I might. Like whenever you summoned the enormous warrior to strike Susanoo’s crown.”
“What do you consider that enormous warrior?”
“I believe it confirmed overwhelming energy. A pinnacle of energy that nobody might oppose. If such a being exists, folks can really feel reassured. …If I’ve a private want, it’s for Gwang Ik Gong to proceed that position.”
However after speaking with him just a few occasions, you shortly realized that it’s a misunderstanding, and also you felt ashamed for having such lowly ideas.
“I’ve thought of different S-class heroes. However none of them can observe Gwang Ik Gong’s, my fight model.”
“Is your fight model something atypical?”
“Precisely. Possibly I’ve been too flashy. It could be troublesome to go it on even when there have been a successor. There’s nobody however you. If it’s not you, Gwang Ik Gong ends right here.”
And shortly, jealousy in direction of this man arose from the best way folks deal with Gwang Ik Gong.
“Thanks for saying that. To be evaluated like this by an acknowledged good being.”
“You might have proven your price until now.”
“All I’ve proven is thrashing demons and executing villains.”
“But it surely’s altering. Regularly. Possibly it’s since you met Baek Seol-hee or that good friend Yumir. There are various causes for the change in your mindset, however you’ve modified quite a bit now.”
“……From a mass assassin to at the least giving an opportunity?”
“The purpose is you’re giving a second likelihood. That’s crucial.”
Gwang Ik Gong held out a pill as soon as extra.
“You selected the trail of a villain for comfort, however you’re nearer to a hero than anybody. It’s simply that you simply’re not absolutely the good the world wishes.”
“That’s absurd. You need me to inherit the place of absolute good?”
“It’s superb even when it’s simply cosplay. Even in the event you go on Gwang Ik Gong’s position to another person. Simply as soon as, in the event you might show Gwang Ik Gong’s energy, it could be sufficient.”
“As absolute good?”
“Even when it’s not, it’s superb. In your manner, even when it’s whereas executing a demon.”
The funds was ample, however time was the problem.
“…Nicely, I don’t know if it’s attainable, however hoping isn’t a nasty factor.”
“Actually?”
“Somebody mentioned that we get dissatisfied as a result of we’ve got expectations within the first place. But when I’m going to die anyway, it wouldn’t be unhealthy to stay with the hope {that a} remedy could be developed, even when I could be dissatisfied later.”
“…It could be nice if I might come again to life. Even when I don’t have skills, simply showing as Gwang Ik Gong and collaborating in occasions can be superb.”
“That’s a good suggestion.”
Even when he misplaced his skills, simply showing because the figurehead Gwang Ik Gong at political occasions would drastically cut back the burden on Baek Seol-hee.
“However perhaps, you would possibly stay a bit longer than half a yr.”
“……?”
“I found a brand new means. Extra exactly, I discovered a method from somebody who has been hiding it till now, and in the event you use it, you would possibly have the ability to lengthen your life. Congratulations. Secretary Kim would possibly have the ability to lengthen your life.”
“…What do you imply?”
“I found a magical energy provide approach. It’s utterly completely different from the strategies utilized by me or Gunggi.”
It’s Yumir’s methodology.
“If you wish to know that methodology, now that we’ve met, it’s best to ask for my assist. It’s a deal. If you happen to present applicable solutions to my questions, I’ll let you know how one can lengthen your life.”
“So the query is necessary sufficient to commerce for that methodology?”
“Sure.”
I tapped the Taeguk Watch and introduced up a display.
“Hyandan. Laplace’s demon. What’s one of the best ways to convey out this girl?”
“A senior govt of Pandemonium, the brand new seven lethal sins. Another clues?”
“None. Besides that I imagine even unhealthy historical past is a part of Korean historical past. Utilizing doppelgangers is all I do know.”
“…Hmm. Few clues, and those there are delicate. If you happen to knew the situation of the principle physique, you’d have already gone to take care of it. In the long run, it means you must do one thing to attract out the principle physique.”
As anticipated of Gwang Ik Gong.
“…How about attempting to bait with a reputation?”
“A reputation?”
“Sure. For means customers, names are necessary. Strive baiting with the identify Hyandan.”
Gwang Ik Gong lowered his voice.
“…If somebody insults their nickname and so they simply stand by, they’ve to vary their nickname.”
“Particularly?”
“Nicely… in the event you say that the identify Hyandan is the identify from the story Chunhyangjeon.”
Gwang Ik Gong folded his arms and tilted his head.
“So, do I’ve to betray Seong Chunhyang…?”
“…Precisely.”
“Excuse me?”
“It’s price a strive. Certain.”
If it attracts consideration, nice. If not, oh properly.
“Earlier than turning into Gwang Ik Gong, there’s somebody I must grow to be first.”
“…Thanks for listening, however what are you attempting to grow to be?”
“It’s nothing particular.”
I put my hand on Yun Hye-ra’s shoulder and pulled her nearer.
“Bangja.”
