Seongcheon Yun Ga (2)
Lucette and Hoon entered the Yun family’s main house.
“Sister! Are you okay?”
As soon as I entered, Yoon So-hoe came rushing out through the front door, as if she had been waiting for them to come.
The boy, out of breath as if he had run out immediately after hearing the news, immediately hugged Lucette tightly.
“···You were worried a lot, right? I’m sorry for worrying you. And thank you, So-Hwe. Thanks to you, I was able to return safely.”
She sat down on her knees and hugged him tightly.
As they had talked about this and that on the way, she also knew that Hoon had come to save her at Yoon So-hoe’s request.
Of course, I still didn’t know what I was getting in return.
‘That’s our secret.’
Hoon shrugged.
If she had known what Yoon So-hoe had offered as compensation, she probably wouldn’t have been so grateful.
“Thank you for bringing my sister back safely. I heard she was involved in a pretty big incident…”
Yoon So-hui, who had been relieved of her anger, bowed her head toward Hoon.
The initial report sent by Lucette before arriving here had already been relayed to the Yun family’s superiors.
He was still only a promising prospect, so he didn’t know the details, but just from the turbulent atmosphere that permeated the entire family, he could easily guess that something unusual had happened.
“Well, I was just doing what I was asked to do. I also enjoyed my time abroad for the first time in a while.”
In fact, unlike when we arrived at our destination in an instant, there were many twists and turns on the way back.
Because of the location, there was no way Yoonga could provide enough infrastructure to help, and there was a lot to do, such as collecting evidence from General Bu-ryeong and his subordinates.
Of course, they didn’t handle all of those little things themselves.
It seems that they had already prepared to some extent, because as soon as Lucette contacted them, secret agents came from somewhere and quickly took care of the matter on her behalf.
While avoiding the gazes of the Hongsanguk soldiers who were surrounding him.
‘They were the ones who secured the route for us to return as secretly and safely as possible. I guess this is the power of a noble family.’
Again, maintaining that balance at the center of two superpowers was never easy.
When a large-scale search was needed to find Lucette, whose whereabouts were unknown, there was no choice but to keep an eye on Hongsan-guk, but once her safety was secured, it was no problem to use spies to carry out the work secretly.
“···I will go first to get a detailed report. Since the scale of the work is so large, it seems like there will be a lot of work to do in the future.”
Lucette bowed her head slightly in greeting and then took hurried steps inside.
He still had a haggard complexion because he hadn’t had a proper rest until now, but it seemed like he had no intention of resting yet.
‘Hmm, I guess that’s what it can’t be helped.’
A situation where the peace that has been maintained somehow up until now is shaking.
Even at a glance, the current situation was not normal.
‘It’s to the point where a country’s general is directly intervening.’
It would have been better if it had been General Bu-ryeong’s arbitrary actions.
The problem is when that string goes higher up the line.
If that happens, things will get even more serious.
···If we assume the worst case scenario where the King of Hongsan had given his approval, we had to come up with a plan as quickly as possible.
“By the way. Has everything been okay here? How’s Ramyu?”
Anyway, it wasn’t a situation where I could do anything right away.
Hoon, who had been looking at the place where Lucette had disappeared for a moment, shook his head and looked at Yoon So-hoe next to him.
“Ahem, don’t worry! I’m a man, so I can’t always be by the sleeping woman’s side, but I’ve asked my close maids to keep an eye on the details.”
Yoon So-hui cleared her throat and nodded seriously as she answered.
“···Actually, there was nothing special I had to do to take care of it. They say it always stays in its original state because it is protected by a strange power. There was no need to wash it or feed it, so all I did was watch over it.”
“Well, it’s only been a few days, so I guess that’s to be expected.”
I just asked because I wondered if anything had changed while I was away, it was something I had fully expected.
“Well, then… Now all that’s left is to settle the accounts? You haven’t forgotten, have you?”
“It’s been a few days, so there’s no way you’ve forgotten already. I’ll definitely keep my promise, so don’t worry.”
Yoon So-hoe responded to Hoon’s words with a stern expression.
As he was quietly looking around, he seemed quite worried that this might become known.
It would be natural, then, that he had to pass on his family’s vision to an outsider on his own initiative.
‘Of course, I have no intention of giving you any consideration now.’
Still, I felt really bad for her anxious look, so I said something lightly to ease the tension.
“I’ve been wondering this for a while, but why do you speak in such an incongruous way? Well, it’s actually quite cute.”
“···Ear, cute? What are you talking about! I am a descendant of the great Seongcheon Yun family and have dignity···!”
Yoon So-Hwi, who had forgotten that she had been anxious about something she had been concerned about, protested fiercely with a red face.
It seems like they have their own circumstances.
Hoon walked inside Yunga, trying to calm the irritated boy.
Now all that’s left is to learn the vision and master the chakra until Ramyu wakes up.
He looked up at the sky, which seemed clearer than usual today, and stretched comfortably.
“···Are you listening to me? So I···.”
Still, the grumbling voice of the boy was being let out of one ear.
***
“I see.”
The being in the darkness nodded.
“This is someone from another world?”
And then, recalling the report he had just heard, he tapped the armrest of his chair.
He had just heard the news that his well-prepared operation had failed, but he paid no attention to it.
The main purpose of planning this incident in the first place was to figure out the cause of the ominous feeling I had felt before.
Wasn’t that why they deliberately targeted Lucette, who was close to Yoon So-hoe?

‘It’s painful to lose the word ‘general’ in the process, but…’
Who would have guessed that a deep-rooted performer optimized for trap building would collapse so helplessly without even being able to get out of bed?
Still, that fact made it clear how dangerous the opponent’s abilities were.
“Hoon… I’ve never heard that name before.”
I already knew everything about Yun Ga, even the name of the dog raised by the lowest-ranking servant.
I couldn’t help but frown at the sudden occurrence of such a major variable.
‘But now we can’t delay the plan any longer.’
If so, there is only one way left.
The only thing we could do was to eliminate that variable at all costs.
Even if it means investing a little too much resources.
rustling—
He picked up a piece of paper and skimmed through it lightly.
A document compiling information passed on from spies within the Yun family.
The amount was small, as it had to be conveyed through strict internal security, but it contained one piece of information that could be helpful in the current situation.
“A sleeping girl.”
A girl who has never woken up since the moment she appeared.
And the weakness of being cared for by an unidentified otherworldly person named Hoon.
‘This is a good opportunity. I can take care of both.’
Once you can clearly define your goal, you can somehow come up with a solution.
***
“The Way of Turning Wheels is a vision created by our Yun family’s founder.”
The inner image that forms the basis of the chakra and the microcosm that directly intervenes in phenomena based on it.
The Jeonryundo is a chakra operation method that assists and strengthens the entire process, a training method that strengthens both the body and mind, and a safety device that reduces the burden of excessive energy.
“Whether it’s Hongsan-guk or Cheonghae-guk, there may be various visions everywhere, but I can confidently say that our Yun family’s Jeonryun-do is the best.”
Not only is its performance close to omnipotent, but its great advantage is that it doesn’t show any noticeable signs when it’s activated.
There was no need to explain in detail how much of an advantage this was in practice.
‘Hmm, I see.’
At those words, Hoon recalled the strange eyes of General Bu-ryeong that he had encountered a while ago.
A massive flow of energy that sent ripples throughout Guilin as the concentric circles that appeared in his eyes moved.
I could clearly understand what he was trying to say.
‘···Still, that was pretty cool.’
Of course, I swallowed those words without saying them out loud.
No matter how optimistic he had become lately, he didn’t want to be looked down on by a kid who was barely in elementary school.
“Isn’t that a good thing? If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you in secret in the first place. In fact, I’m still worried, though···.”
Now it’s time to move on.
In this way, Hoon was able to train with Yoon So-hoe and learn Jeonryundo.
No one said anything about him practicing with the young master of Yun Ga.
On the surface, it just looked like people who were fated to meet each other were training together.
Hoon was a super rookie who was growing rapidly even after entering the lower tier, and Yoon So-hoe had also passed the end of the lower tier and was on the verge of opening the middle tier, so their levels were similar.
A faithful day that begins with practice and ends with practice.
“But, I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while now.”
Then one day, Yoon So-hoe looked at Hoon with a trembling face.
“Which chakra did you open···.”
“hmm?”
“No, I’m sure I heard it was a non-combat type? Did you open the chakra of revenge?”
It was an unwritten rule among practitioners not to ask exactly which chakra the other person was working on until they told you first.
But it’s been a few days since I continued practicing with Hoon.
As I watched him display different abilities each time, I reached a point where I couldn’t bear to not ask him about it.
“Ah, this?”
“What should I say?”
“If I had to explain it.”
The three Hoons shrugged their shoulders indifferently at that question.
Then they looked at each other and smiled faintly.
“You could say it’s one of my secret techniques that utilizes chakras.”
“Okay.”
Yoon So-Hwi sighed at that answer and looked at Hoon again.
Still, no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t tell what the main body was.
Even though they’re still in the lower stages, they can already create such perfect clones!
The other abilities he had previously shown were great, but this one was even better.
‘Is it because it’s an image that started from the main body? It’s much easier than drawing it from another avatar.’
A technique that can be performed thanks to borrowing the image of a ‘clone’ from the main body.
Of course, it was a minor copy version that could not be compared to the “avatar” that I was using directly.
Unlike the “Avatar” that creates a perfect “other self”, the clone that manifested through the chakra was closer to the commonly known clone technique.
‘Of course, if the chakra level goes up further, then maybe it will be different… But it would be impossible to perfectly imitate the unique skill.’
But even this much was useful enough.
No matter what anyone says, wasn’t it enough to fool even a practitioner of a very advanced level who was far behind in level, if only for a moment?
If you train hard enough, you might even be able to use a huge number of multiple clones, just like in the comics.
As the day’s schedule slowly came to an end.
“Oh my! You were practicing with a sense of humor today as well.”
A woman approached them with a now familiar voice.
“···No? It’s already this late. Then I guess I’ll be going now!”
At the same time, Yoon So-hoe, whose face had turned pale, quickly tried to leave, but the person who had approached her had already grabbed her body with movements like flowing water and was pulling her into his arms.
“Ahh~ Our Sohoe, are you going to run away again and make your older sister sad?”
“Ugh! Let go, let go!”
Yoon So-so, who buried the boy’s head between her plump chest as if she thought it was cute, and Yoon So-hoe, who was struggling with a blush on her face.
It was a scene that was no longer new as it had been repeated so many times.
‘You came again today.’
Hoon let out a small sigh.
Even after he returned from saving Lucette, her advances continued.
Of course, as he was a man, it wasn’t that he didn’t like being courted by a beautiful woman.
But even so, isn’t it another problem to fall for the beauties who approach you so openly?
‘To be honest, I’m not saying that I don’t want to just let it go…’
The real problem came next.
‘I kind of expected it, but… I didn’t know that girl would be that popular.’
Anton, the Earth-born Awoken who had recently caused friction, was just the beginning.
The longer she spent chasing Hoon, the more enemies she had for him began to multiply.
Knowing her personality, those who initially took it lightly gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
‘No matter how I look at it, it seems like I’ll be more tired than I am now if I get involved for no reason.’
If I hadn’t opened my communication chakra and become more sensitive to other people’s emotions, I wouldn’t have had to worry about these things.
Everywhere I passed, clear hostility flew in and stuck itself out, so I became unnecessarily sensitive.
‘I can’t be the one to start a fight just because you have hostility. But I can’t just ignore you either, because it’s annoying. This is difficult, this is difficult.’
After dealing with Yoon So-so for a while and sending her away, Hoon walked towards the dorm.
Today, too, I was wondering how to best respond to the hostility that was secretly provoking me.
“huh?”
Then at one moment.
Hoon’s steps stopped and his head turned to the side.
‘What is this?’
It was not certain because it passed by in such a short moment.
But it was a feeling so dark that it was impossible to ignore, so I couldn’t just pretend not to know.
‘···It feels different from the hostility I’ve felt so far. This···.’
I tried to concentrate again, but I didn’t feel that emotion again.
In fact, it’s amazing that I’ve come to have this kind of feeling at such a low level, but originally this was the norm.
This would also have been possible thanks to “psychic communication”.
“Mr. Hoon? Why aren’t you coming in? What are you doing here?”
“Oh! It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something else for a moment.”
While I was so distracted, I arrived at my accommodations, and a Myanmar woman named Miyat, who was at the entrance, spoke to me.
Hoon controlled his expression as if nothing had happened and calmly entered the dorm.
‘This is not normal. I feel like something could happen at any moment.’
A sense of crisis slowly began to build up in me, as if by instinct.
But intuition was just a gut feeling, and there was no exact cause or basis for it, so there was nothing I could do.
Who are you talking to?
I feel a little uneasy, so I think I should be careful today?
No matter how recent your achievements have been, it would be fortunate if you didn’t get scolded for talking incoherently like that.
‘No, now that I think about it, it seems a bit ambiguous. ···I hope it’s just my mood.’
But it wasn’t because of the mood.
Kwaaaaang—!
Kururung—!
That night, I knew it right away.
