chapter 5
Episode 5: Bloodline is surprising (2)
As soon as the tableware was dropped, Joo Ha-yeon immediately asked.
“Doesn’t the food suit your taste?”
“No, the food is good… … .”
Gwon-ul took the spoon that had fallen on the table back into his hand. I scooped up the soup once more and put it in my mouth.
<By the influence of ‘Healthy Blood’, nutrients in food are absorbed as much as possible!>
<Permanently increases stamina by 0.02!>
The same message came to mind.
I didn’t see it wrong. Undoubtedly, his ability has risen.
‘Does this make sense?’
It could be said that Hunter’s ability is the root.
In this world, there are many things with great abilities, such as skills, equipment, and various elixirs.
However, in order to use them, abilities had to be the basis. If the ability is not enough, you can’t use those things.
It was very difficult to raise the ability as important as it was.
The most standard way is to increase experience by killing monsters.
Other than that, there are ways to consume elixirs, spiritual objects, or wear artifacts that improve abilities, but they are too expensive, so not everyone can use them.
However, healthy blood improved his abilities just by eating food.
‘Surely S+ grade… … .’
It was an incredible ability.
‘But I’m sorry. The climbing width is too small.’
It’s not 0.1, it’s 0.01.
Every time I scooped up the soup, it went up, but I was still dissatisfied. Who put such a small ability on the nose?
The back of my neck was sore from the excitement. Kwon Kwon-ul turned his neck once while tying the nape of his neck.
<’Health Blood (健康血)’ detects your actions!>
<This is a good move for cervical health! Efficiency is maximized!>
<Permanently increases Agility by 0.01!>
<The flexibility of the neck is slightly increased.>
“Cool.”
Kwon Kwon-ul coughed involuntarily. Joo Ha-yeon asked again.
“Kwon Han-ul?”
“Oh, nothing. I can hear the business.”
As a test, Gwon-ul put on a pod and stretched.
<This is a good move for wrist health! Efficiency is maximized!>
<Permanently increases Agility by 0.02!>
<The flexibility of the wrist is slightly increased.>
<This is a good move for thoracic and lumbar health! Efficiency is maximized!>
<Permanently increases Agility by 0.04!>
<The flexibility of the waist is slightly increased.>
“Huh, my God.”
It’s just a simple action like this.
My body burned with joy. Kwon Kwon-ul felt his heart beating fast.
Then, the status window popped up again.
<Healthy blood (健康血) detects changes in the body!>
<Heart rate increases! Blood flow increases and the body is activated!>
<HP increases by 0.01!>
“This crazy.”
At this point, I wondered if the severity was too severe.
“Kwon Han-ul, are you really okay?”
Joo Ha-yeon asked again. The woman who was so stiff had a worried expression on her face.
“It’s okay.”
Suddenly, a smile came to Kwon-wool’s lips.
“Not just good, but very good.”
I got my hands on an awesome way to close the gap with pureblood.
It couldn’t have been better.
“Kwon Han-ul… … .”
Joo Ha-yeon still gave a worried look.
“I think you’d better go home early today and rest.”
“It is still early.”
“Tomorrow, we have to leave for North Pyongan Province early in the morning.”
At the mention of Pyonganbuk-do, Kwon Kwon-ul jumped to his senses.
“Are you going to the Heukcheon family?”
“you’re right.”
Because the Heukcheon family is so huge, the area that can accommodate them is limited.
Therefore, the Heukcheon family acquired ownership of the entire North Pyongan Province and made it Heukcheon’s territory.
North Pyongan Province.
There, everything the Heukcheon family had cultivated was gathered there.
“Kwon Han-ul will be the first to visit Yonghyeon Military Academy.”
“What else is that?”
“It is the first place to visit if you are a blood relative of the Black Sky.”
Saying that, Joo Ha-yeon smiled strangely.
“At the same time, it is also the first test you will receive.”
* * *
the next morning.
Kwon Kwon-ul was at the airport with Joo Ha-yeon.
“Certainly that’s not the plane I’m going to be on, right?”
“you’re right.”
The plane Kwon Wol was going to board was a chartered plane.
It was not a charter operated by Heukcheon Group, but only Kwon Wol’s individual charter.
As soon as they became blood relatives, an airplane suddenly came into existence. I realized that I had become a blood relative of the Heukcheon Group.
When I boarded the chartered plane, I saw a luxurious interior.
Kwon-wool put his butt on the sofa in the center. It was so soft, as if the body was being buried.
“If you need anything, let me know. Even if it’s not me, the crew are always on standby.”
“Can I have a meal too?”
“Yes, this charter also has a cooking facility and a chef on board.”
At this point, it was like a flying mansion.
After a while, a charter plane took off. Joo Ha-yeon sat down next to her and opened a book.
Because she was so beautiful, even insignificant actions were worth watching.
While Joo Ha-yeon was taking a break, Gwon-ul Kwon corrected his posture or warmed up.
It was to see the efficacy of healthy blood.
The range of application of healthy blood was infinite.
<This is a good move for shoulder blade health! Efficiency is maximized!>
<Permanently increases Agility by 0.03!>
<The range of motion of the shoulder blade is slightly increased.>
Of course, loosening up from time to time.
<I sat upright. Helps with spinal health!>
<Permanently increases stamina by 0.02!>
<Your balance will improve slightly.>
As long as you maintain the correct posture, your abilities will increase.
<I looked into the distance! Affects eye health!>
<Permanently increases the senses by 0.02!>
<The farsightedness is corrected very slightly!>
Even look out the window.
<Replenished with moisture! Thirst quenched!>
<Permanently increases mental strength by 0.02!>
Even if you drink water, the effect of health blood is applied.
‘Even when I slept, my stats rose.’
If you get a good night’s sleep, the increase in your abilities is large. Overall stats increased by 0.5.
When he woke up this morning, Kwon Kwon-ul confirmed that fact.
It was time to close my eyes to see if my abilities would rise even after taking a nap.
“There is a video call request from Kwon Ji-seok.”
“What business does that person have to me?”
“I’m sure it wasn’t a very good intention.”
Kwon Kwon-wool and Joo Ha-yeon agreed.
“Would you like to just hang up?”
“No, please connect me.”
In my mind, I wanted to cut it off.
However, Kwon Seon-woo said that he would not recognize Kwon-wool as a pure-blood, even if he did not know about mixed-bloods and hot-bloods.
It was not necessary to speculate what kind of attitude pure blood would show toward true blood, but it was necessary to check it for yourself.
It was a way to avenge the insult that had been inflicted the other day.
“I will connect the call.”
Joo Ha-yeon manipulated something and the ceiling came down by itself. As it turned out, it was not just a simple ceiling, but a monitor.
A black screen turned on and Kwon Ji-seok’s face appeared.
-Oh, you dared to answer my phone call without fear, right?
“Then you should answer the phone. Are you saying don’t take it?”
– What, you bastard?
As expected, Kwon Ji-seok’s attitude did not change at all.
-The reason I asked to see your face was to warn you… … .
“Isn’t there something we need to do before that?”
-What’s going on?
“Get down on your knees first.”
Was it such a shocking statement? Kwon Ji-seok’s mouth opened slowly.
-You, you, you, what, what did you say?
“Wasn’t it like that during the coming-of-age ceremony? Mixed-bloods or hot-bloods should be polite to pure-bloods. Then, of course, pure blood should be the same for true blood.”
Kwon Ji-seok’s mouth opened a little more. Saliva ran down his chin.
-This, you f*cking bastard!
soon complained.
– On the subject of the traitor’s son! To the subject who came in with the blood of a thousand years outside! What’s up?
Kwon Ji-seok, as if angry, started to run wild.
-I am enough to accept an ignorant child who grew up as an orphan like you! I don’t think our purebloods are idiots!
Hearing Kwon Ji-seok’s abusive words, Kwon-wool reconfirmed his situation.
Gwonwool’s dilemma.
It possesses the true lineage, but its owner is a being who has no choice but to be ostracized from the family.
Gwon-ul Kwon is the son of a traitor and a stranger who grew up outside.
From the point of view of purebloods with high self-esteem, it is an existence that can never be tolerated.
“I’ll hang up when I’m done talking.”
-wait for a sec! The story isn’t over yet!
“What else? Don’t waste people’s time and speak quickly.”
-I heard you took Ha-yeon! How dare someone like you treat Hayeon… … You can’t send it back to me right now!
“… … How can I say it?”
Kwon Kwon-ul looked back at Joo Ha-yeon. I didn’t even need to hear the answer. Joo Ha-yeon made an expression of disgust.
“I saw it. Hang up.”
-Do you know what a great kid Ha-yeon is? A child who shouldn’t rot under the likes of you!
“I said quit.”
-I’ll give you this instead!
Kwon Ji-seok held something out on the monitor. It was a tombstone the size of a notebook.
No, it wasn’t just a tombstone. It was a memory page where skills could be acquired.
It wasn’t just a memory page either.
Judging by how golden it was, it was clear that it was a unique skill.
-If you send Ha-yeon to me, I’ll give you this! how is it? When will a bastard like you learn a unique skill? You will regret it greatly if you miss this opportunity!
Kwon Ji-seok said confidently.
It is a unique skill that lightly passes over 100 billion won as soon as a sale comes out. He seemed confident that Kwon Wol would accept the deal.
However, Kwon-wool’s reaction was sluggish.
There were two reasons. That he is not in a position to give orders to Joo Ha-yeon.
And the last reason… … .
“Anyway, if you go to Yonghyeon Military High School, you can learn the secret level. Why are you paying attention to something like that?”
Yonghyeon Military Academy.
It is the most important relic among the relics owned by the Heukcheon family.
Yonghyeon Mugo was originally a place where blood relatives of Heukcheon trained their skills.
But if that was all, you wouldn’t have heard that it was the most important thing.
The reason why the Yonghyeon Armory is the most important artifact is that you can learn the secrets of the Heukcheon family.
-Ha, what do you believe in? Do you think an idiot like you can get a decent salary at Yonghyeon Military High School?
“Isn’t that something you have to go to know?”
– Do you know that I don’t know? You said you were only a third-rate hunter outside?
The type and number of secret grades that could be obtained at Yonghyeon Mugo differed according to their qualifications.
Innate talent, natural temperament, etc.
The purity of the Black Dragon’s blood didn’t affect it at all.
Yonghyeon Military Academy is the only place where the blood relatives of the branch family can achieve better results than the main family.
-Do you think anything will change if you go to Yonghyeon Military Academy? Why don’t you be stubborn and accept my offer? If Ha-yeon sends it to you, this memory page will be given to you… … .
“I hang up.”
At Kwon-wool’s words, Joo Ha-yeon immediately ended the call.
“Kwon Han-ul, don’t pay too much attention to what I just said.”
Joo Ha-yeon’s voice was the same as usual. But somehow Kwon-wool got the feeling that she was trying to comfort him.
“Yonghyeon Mugo identifies hidden qualities and provides secret grades. so… … .”
“You don’t need to comfort me. They say that I have no talent, because I already accepted it a long time ago.”
Like all fledglings, when Kwon-wool first became a hunter, he dreamed of a brilliant future.
The dream of becoming a first-class hunter and traveling all over the world.
But the reality was grim.
Gwon-ul had no talent. Even the goblins were barely caught, and the orcs didn’t even dare to look.
“I’m used to this kind of thing.”
Gwon-ul said in a calm tone.
Joo Ha-yeon looked at Kwon-wool in silence.
* * *
Daegwan County, North Pyongan Province.
An airplane landed there. Soon after, a couple of men and women came out from inside.
“This is the Heukcheon family.”
At Joo Ha-yeon’s words, Kwon-ul looked around.
Luxurious hanok were everywhere. There were also tall buildings in the middle.
It wasn’t a village, it was just a city.
It was an unbelievably developed place for a place made for a family.
“I will guide you to a place to rest.”
“Rather than that, I want to go to Yonghyeon Military High School.”
“Aren’t you resting?”
“It won’t change anything if you take a break. I heard that skills change depending on the quality anyway.”
Gwon-ul shrugged and said. Joo Ha-yeon pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“All right. I will guide you to Yonghyeon Military Academy.”
I took the vehicle that was waiting in advance and moved. It is a city with hanok. Asphalt on the ground seemed a little awkward.
The vehicle stopped at a building the size of a gym.
All other buildings are hanok. Only here it was built in a different way, so there was a sense of incongruity.
Kwon-wool moved to Yonghyeon Mu High School. A tightly closed entrance blocked him.
“Please put your hand up. Then, Yonghyeon Mugo will recognize the Black Dragon Blood and the door will open.”
As Joo Ha-yeon ordered, Gwon-ul put his hand on the door.
<Yonghyeonmugo (龍賢武庫) recognizes Black Dragon Blood.>
A message popped up and the door opened. Kwon-wool moved into it.
Contrary to the huge exterior, the inside was empty. Gwon-ul took a step further inward.
<Yonghyeonmugo checks who enters and exits.>
Gwon-ul yawned and waited for the result.
Joo Ha-yeon said she didn’t know, but Kwon-ul was already convinced.
I don’t have any talent myself. Even if I hoped for nothing, it was useless.
… … It was when I thought
<A peculiarity is detected.>
<It has been confirmed that you are the holder of the True Black Dragon Blood.>
<Unlocks the safe of the owner ‘Kwon Hyeon-moon’.>
An unexpected situation happened.
