Chapter 37
After finishing all the conversation with Yoon Kang-hyun. Kang Yoo-sik, who came down from the school director’s office, went straight to the front door of the school.
This is because an unexpected offer of a special upgrade popped up and the conversation was prolonged, so it was time for an appointment with Lee Byung-ho, which was lunch today.
‘It’s busy… …’
Still, he achieved more than half of what he was aiming for later by talking with Yoon Kang-hyun today.
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at what would happen later and walked quickly, and I saw Lee Byung-ho standing at the front door.
“Ah. Here!”
Lee Byung-ho shakes his hand fast.
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at his appearance that became incomparably polite than before and approached him.
“I’m a little late”
“We still have 10 minutes left, it’s not late. You must be hungry, let’s go!”
When they got into the vehicle waiting near the front door, the driver gently drove out and Kang Yoo-sik, sitting in the back seat, looked around.
‘this… … is awesome.’
At first glance, it may look like an ordinary luxury car, but the magic circle is surrounded by layers, starting from the outer coating and all the way to the inside.
It must be durable enough to never be inferior to the vehicle that he made before returning with special order.
‘Even if a disaster-class mine attacks, It will gain some time… … He really cares about his grandchildren.’
When Kang Yoo-sik is looking inside with a mysterious expression. Lee Byung-ho opened his mouth, looking at his eyes from the side.
“Umm… … Kang Yoo-sik… … sir?”
“What’s that? Just call me your brother.”
“Bro, brother?”
“I am older. Then brother is good enough.”
Considering Lee Byung-ho’s attitude, the emotion he formed by the debt relationship is respect. I would have told him to speak with full honorifics if it was fear, like Ban Kyung-hoon, but in this case, it’s good to have some hospitality.
“Then… … it’s a brother sir… …”
“What brother sir? Just say brother.”
“… … .”
Lee Byung-ho made a slightly embarrassing expression to Kang Yoo-sik’s talk, and then slowly opened his mouth while holding his breath.
“bro, brother… … .”
“okay. Good. So what do you have to say?”
Lee Byung-ho coughed and talked as if the shyness has gone a bit and he answered it normally.
“The advice you gave me during the Monster battle test. Thank you very much.”
Thanks to Kang Yoo-sik’s advice, he won against Lycanthrope, a B-class beast, and in fact, his skills rose to the level of the Diamond Class.
It was thanks to the release of the potential of the stat, which had been suppressed by the immaturity of the technology, but at this rate, he will be able to fully aim for promotion of the diamond class within this semester.
‘Well, even if I wasn’t there, he would have gone up to the second grade.’
Considering Lee Byung-ho’s talent, it would have been possible to upgrade enough even if only the Spell Power Arrangement Method was completed in Nam Gung-ryun’s special class.
But that’s only if there wasn’t his interference. Now, even if he promotes Diamond Class, he will think that it is thanks to Kang Yoo-sik’s advice.
‘It’s not as much as Kim Jin-hyuk, but this guy is half mine.’
In the future, if Yoo-sik throws something like a training method developed by him in the future, his debt will grow like a snowball.
Kang Yoo-sik replied with a satisfied expression.
“I did what I had to do.”
“Huh?”
“You asked me to teach you. I haven’t signed a contract yet, but I decided to do it, so I had to do that.”
“… … .”
Lee Byung-ho gave a slightly touched expression to Kang Yoo-sik’s modest speaking.
He gave such a lesson just because he promised me, who had a dispute from the first meeting and made an ugly force in the fight!
Although the debt relationship was a little grooming it, Lee Byung-ho was truly impressed.
‘Your… … face is… …’
Kang Yoo-sik turned away with a burdensome expression in his deep eyes, and in the meantime, a vehicle arrived in front of the restaurant.
“Welcome, sir.”
After getting out of the car, the staff who were waiting for them greeted and guided them directly inside.
A corridor with a clear view of the garden surrounding the restaurant due to the wall made of glass windows. At first glance, Kang Yoo-sik’s smiled lightly at the extraordinary facility.
‘They rented a place like this.’
The parking lot was also empty and a close sign was hung at the entrance.
In other words, he rented the whole restaurant for lunch with Yoo-sik, but it has been clearly felt how much Chang-eun thinks of Yoo-sik.
Realizing that he was half successful, Kang Yoo-sik went over the door opened by the staff and entered the hall of the restaurant.
“Welcome.”
First, the old man sitting at the seat, Lee Jung-ryong, greeted Yoo-sik.
“… … .”
Kang Yoo-sik looked surprised at the unexpected visitor’s appearance. He thought that a certain high person would come from Chang-eun, but the guild leader Lee Jung-ryong appears?
‘I underestimated myself.’
It’s not half-success, but it’s like a jackpot.
Kang Yoo-sik, barely holding the smile coming up on his face, approached the table where Lee Jung-ryong sat and lowered his head.
“Nice to meet you. This is Kang Yoo-sik.”
“This is Lee Jung-ryong. I came here to serve my benefactor who helped my grandchildren, so you don’t need to be burdened.”
“Thank you.”
“Please, sit down.”
Kang Yoo-sik, who nodded again, sat across from him, and Lee Byung-ho, standing behind him, sat next to Lee Jung-ryong.
“You must be hungry, so let’s eat first.”
At the same time as Lee Jung-ryong’s talk, the waiting staff began serving course meals one by one, and the three enjoyed the meal while having a simple conversation.
And when the last dessert came out. Lee Jung-ryong looked at him with a nice smile.
“I heard that it was decided to sign a contract with your newly adjusted contract. Is that true?”
The voice is soft, but the content is quite the opposite and heavy. Lee Byung-ho’s face, which had been slightly loosened, was slightly hardened, and Kang Yoo-sik answered with a confident expression.
“Yes. That’s the promise.”
“… … indeed. Oh, my grandson has put up an absurd condition.”
Lee Jung-ryong, with a slight smile, looked at it with an interesting expression, and then glanced to the side.
Then the attendant, who was waiting from a distance, approached and laid down a pledge to write Kang Yoo-sik’s future contract.
“I was worried if there is any difficulty in writing, so we made only the basic frame. Please read it.”
By Lee Jung-ryong’s talk, Kang Yoo-sik looked at the contract in front of him. As he mentioned that it’s a basic frame, there weren’t a few conditions.
The tuition fees received for each class and the bonuses received when achievements were made were written, but the amount was blank.
Probably, it means that if you offer a proper amount, they will accept whatever you ask for.
‘His grandson became this much stronger with my single advice. I surely deserve it.’
Other than that, if progress is not made, the contract is terminated, and Lee Byung-ho should not be injured enough to cause a disability, but it was a caution not to make it too harsh.
‘It’s okay.’
Only the basic parts are described so that he can really make the conditions he wants without excessive interference.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Lee Jung-ryong and nodded.
“I think I can write it based on this.”
“Is that so? I was worried that it might be useless interference, but I’m glad you liked it.”
Lee Jung-ryong smiled.
It might seem a little scary because of the scars on his face, but it doesn’t feel that pressure at all. Probably, it means that he has that much favor with Yoo-sik.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at it and made a strange expression.
‘Such a healthy man like him dies naturally 5 years later… … No matter how much I think about it, I don’t believe it.’
Lee Jung-ryong, who was on active duty as an S-class hunter after over seventy, really suddenly dies one day.
Because of that, the growth of the guild died, and the downturn continued until Lee Byung-ho became an S-class hunter and took over the guild leader.
There was even a rumor the if Lee Jung-ryong was alive and Lee Byung-ho became an S-class hunter, he might have stood at the top of the guild, so it was a tremendous event.
‘Well… … It might not be possible to prevent a real natural death.’
However, seeing Lee Jung-ryong is fully healthy, Kang Yoo-sik continued to question.
At that time, all kinds of speculations were regarded as conspiracy theories, but this is because the perspective on the world has changed after meeting Black Dragon Lord, a year before the return.
‘… … There is nothing I can do about it now’
If you don’t want to die out of sudden, it’s best to avoid being noticed by Black Dragon Lord. I’m still a little outstanding cadet for now.
‘Let’s just remember it’
If something really intervened in Jeong-ryong Lee’s death, there would be a lot to be gained by saving his life.
Kang Yoo-sik, who put the memories of Lee Jung-ryong in his head, looked at him.
“Is it okay to write it now?”
“Do what you are comfortable with.”
“then… … .”
Upon receiving the pen, Kang Yoo-sik immediately wrote down the price and details he had in mind in the blank of the contract.
Classes are 30 million won per class. However, this is the case when progressing, and I coach while receiving 5 million won until mastery.
And when he is promoted to Diamond Class, and when he grows up to be a B-, A-, and S-class hunter, Chang-eun gives the guild’s share instead of money.
‘Stock is better than money.’
If the future of the guild changes due to himself, Chang-eun will be a huge amount of money, and even if it does not change, it does not matter because he knows the time to cut off.
Kang Yoo-sik, who had finished writing, presented the contract, and Lee Jung-ryong, who looked at the contents, opened his eyes wide and immediately burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha!”
“G, grandpa?”
Lee Byung-ho was embarrassed by sudden laughter, and Kang Yoo-sik, knowing that it was not a negative reaction, looked at it with a light smile.
Lee Jung-ryong, who burst into laughter for a long time, looked at Lee Byung-ho with a bright smile.
“Byung-ho. You have found a great Master.”
“Yes, yeap… … .”
Lee Jung-ryong, who gently patted Lee Byung-ho’s shoulder, gave Kang Yoo-sik an interesting expression.
“This bonus side. Are you really confident?”
Kang Yoo-sik nodded confidently, realizing that he was referring to the S-class side.
“If I didn’t have confidence, I wouldn’t have written it.”
Even if left alone, he grows up to S-class by himself. How much faster would he grow if he gave him some know-hows?
To Kang Yoo-sik, it was just like a confirmed lottery, and Lee Jung-ryong saw it and smiled with a pleasant smile.
“I always hear the words as a flattery around me, but when you say it, it sounds like it will really happen.”
“I’m flattered.”
“Can you give me the pen?”
When Kang Yoo-sik handed the pen, Lee Jung-ryong signed the lower part as if he had nothing to worry about, and Lee Byung-ho also signed it.
And Kang Yoo-sik, who received the contract again, signed his name, and the pledge was triggered immediately.
[The pledge “fostering plan” has been applied.]
[If you break the pledge, the strength accumulated through the contract will be limited.]
Even if the pledge is broken, the use of the wealth or power accumulated through the contract is restricted.
After confirming the strong constraints, Kang Yoo-sik packed the contract in his pocket with a satisfied expression.
“I appreciate it very much, sir.”
“Thank you too. Kang Yoo-sik.”
“It’s my pleasure!”
After that, Kang Yoo-sik had a simple tea drink after having dessert and talked and refused the offer to join the guild, and returned to school around 5 pm.
“Hmm… … Is all urgent work done with this?”
All that remains is to train cognitive maximization with Cha Si-Hyun, and after the test results are announced, they will be promoted to Diamond Class.
And it is time to search for talented people that he has done passively. Kang Yoo-sik took a step inside with a satisfied expression as the plan was gradually being resolved.
[It satisfies the debt relationship condition.]
[Confirms the registration of the debtor ‘Ban Hye-young’, and determines the debt grade as Class C.]
“… … ?”
A customer who has never made a deal came.
