“oh my god···.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
People opened their eyes wide and looked at me and Hwan Jang-hyeok, who had collapsed on the floor, alternately, as if they could not believe it.
It must have been quite a shock.
The entrance test, which I thought was some kind of event.
Because no one would have thought that Hwan Jang-hyeok would lose.
A promising rookie and first-team member of the White House Guild.
I took that guy down with one blow.
However, the first person to come to his senses and take control of the situation was Baek Chang-soo.
“Medical team! Take Hwan Jang-hyeok to the recovery room!”
Hwan Jang-hyeok was carried out on a stretcher, and a brief break was given to calm down the situation.
As I came down from the stage, Baek Young-hee handed me a sports drink and said,
“What the hell are you···.”
I shrugged my shoulders at her, who was making such a fierce expression these days.
“Did you make the right decision to sign with me?”
Baek Young-hee nodded so hard that it seemed like her neck might break.
“Of course!”
With this, 6 billion is secured.
Just passing the first test satisfies the requirements for guild membership.
The remaining second and third tests could be seen as bonus games.
A bonus game with a whopping 20 billion in prize money.
Of course I thought I would win.
“Who is our next opponent?”
Baek Young-hee shook her head, saying she didn’t know either.
“I don’t know about that. It’s just a clause that Dad added spontaneously…”
“Hmm.”
I turned my head and scanned the superhumans in the training hall with my eyes.
About ten people.
Unfortunately, there was not a single person who looked weaker than Hwan Jang-hyeok.
“······.”
The way the guild officials looked at me also changed significantly from the beginning.
The eyes that used to look like they were looking at a cute little kid were now filled with caution and curiosity.
Shh.
I could feel them flinching when I laughed.
“Why are you laughing like a pervert?”
To Lily, who was pulling on my sleeve and asking, I answered like this.
“In a fight, taking the initiative is more important than anything else.”
In fact, the fact that Hwan Jang-hyeok was defeated in one blow was somewhat intentional.
If the guy had not used [Acceleration] from the beginning and had charged in with the normal method, he would not have won so easily.
But the guy fell for my clumsy provocation and started using his personality from the start.
That is Hwan Jang-hyeok’s defeat.
The one-hit, fatal attack using [Acceleration] is too risky when used alone.
But the guy took me for granted and used it.
Surely you never imagined that I would aim for a counter at that moment.
“Landlord, you are amazing.”
Baek Chang-soo came up to me and spoke. Even though one of his guild members was destroyed, he looked somehow happy.
“I was more impressed by the distribution than the skill. I waited until the very end and countered… It was a bit of a risky gamble, though.”
As expected, this old man noticed.
“I didn’t really think of it as gambling.”
Even though I look like this, I’m a superhuman with 20 years of experience.
When it comes to combat experience, I have more than anyone else in this world right now.
I asked politely.
“Is Hwan Jang-hyuk okay?”
“He was immediately taken to the medical room. Fortunately, his life is not in danger.”
“You’ll feel better after a few days of rest.”
Baek Chang-soo smiled at my words.
“Thanks to the landlord for looking after me.”
Baek Chang-soo knew that if he hadn’t let go of his strength at the last moment, he could have blown off his entire head instead of just his jaw.
“He’s good at controlling his strength too… Just like my daughter said, he doesn’t look like a beginner at all.”
“Maybe it’s innate.”
“No. Innateness and experience are different.”
At those firm words, I just shrugged my shoulders.
“So who’s next?”
Baek Chang-soo looked at me with a strange smile, then turned his head and pointed to my next opponent.
“Team Leader Yong. Get ready.”
“all right.”

The moment I saw his face, I knew who he was.
Even in the future, he was a pretty famous superhuman.
Bull Yongdaehoon.
He was a famous tanker representing the White House.
And Baek Young-hee’s···.
When I glanced back, she began to explain about Yong Dae-hoon, as if she had understood it in a different way.
“Team Leader Yong Dae-Hoon. He’s the leader of Team 6 in our guild. As I mentioned last time, White House is….”
The White House Guild was divided into six teams of five people each, with the first team operating under the second team.
In other words, being the first team leader meant that he was a considerably strong superhuman within the guild.
“Ha. It’s hard to make money.”
I sighed and went up to the second stage.
The second stage is a forest battle.
It was an artificial forest filled with trees, rocks, and dirt in a space measuring about 50 meters by 50 meters.
After a while, I stood face to face with Yong Dae-Hoon.
He was a man in his thirties with a sturdy build. He had thick eyebrows and thick facial features, but his impression was kind and gentle, giving him a rather likeable style.
Yong Dae-hoon was the first to ask me to shake his hand.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Yong Dae-Hoon.”
I nodded without taking his hand. Yong Dae-hoon awkwardly took his hand away and said.
“···Haha. I guess you’re very shy.”
Instead of answering, I stared at him. At that man’s face, which seemed infinitely good-natured.
“You?”
“What are you talking about?”
His face was still smiling, but his eyes were becoming more and more fierce.
It was this kid.
The guy who has been secretly sending threats to me since a while ago.
Did you think I didn’t know?
As the atmosphere between us grew colder, Baek Chang-soo intervened and said.
“What weapons do you two have?”
Yong Dae-hoon showed off a sparring sword and a square shield that could cover the upper body.
“I will take it as my basic weapon.”
I wrapped Tichtal’s wristwatch around my left hand like a knuckle, just like the first time.
“I’m done too.”
Baek Chang-soo stepped back, and the bell rang to signal the start of the test.
Time!
As soon as it started, I rushed in first.
A straight fist aimed for Yong Dae-Hoon’s Adam’s apple. Yong Dae-Hoon raised his shield to defend his entire upper body.
Phew!
As soon as the attack was blocked, Yong Dae-hoon’s sword slashed into my chest. I avoided the attack by bending my waist backwards.
When my posture collapsed, Yong Dae-Hoon thought it was his chance and charged forward with his shield in hand.
WHEEK!
I turned my body and pushed the guy aside, and at the same time, I reached out to his exposed side.
The eagle’s claws were modeled after the shape of an eagle’s talons, and it was intended to tear off flesh.
Kyaang!
But the shield, which had returned to the side, deflected my attack. At the same time, the sword that followed like a combination flew towards me with the momentum to cut my wrist.
It’s a sword, but if a superhuman were to swing it with determination, it could even cut stones.
Phew-!
I barely managed to pull my hand out of the sword’s path.
But there was no backing down.
Instead, he dug into Yong Dae-hoon’s arms.
bang!
Step hard on the ground and twist your waist. The power concentrated in one place gathers in the shoulder and is transmitted to the opponent.
This technique is called Cheolsango.
Kwa-ang!
Yong Dae-hoon was blown away several meters with a loud impact sound.
“Phew···.”
I stood there and caught my breath, but my expression probably didn’t look too good.
Because Yong Dae-Hoon was more healthy than I thought.
“···It’s pretty strong.”
He walked towards me, wiping the blood from his lips.
The shield was slightly dented, but that was it. Yong Dae-hoon wasn’t seriously injured, and he didn’t look tired.
This kid. His physical durability is no joke.
“Mr. Landlord. Did you learn any martial arts before you awakened?”
I sat up again without saying a word.
I wanted to end it quickly, like when I dealt with Hwan Jang-hyeok.
I tried to preserve my stamina as much as possible and hide my skills until the final test.
Yong Dae-Hoon’s defense was too excellent for that.
A tank-type superhuman who uses a sword and shield.
I think I know why this kid came out as the second test subject.
“You’re like a snake-man.”
I turned my head to look at Baek Chang-soo, and he was watching me with a happy look.
Are you going to take all the capital here?
“I’ll go first this time.”
The good impression he had at first was gone, and Yong Dae-Hoon charged forward with a stern expression, holding his shield in front.
Kwa-ang!
The rock behind me shattered into pieces.
After a while, Yong Dae-hoon walked out of the rock debris. He spoke, twisting his neck from side to side.
“If that’s all you’ve shown me so far, you can’t beat me.”
It was frustrating, but it was true.
Even though I trained for a few days, my body is still weak.
Magic power that falls far short of its prime.
It’s difficult to defeat Yong Dae-hoon in this condition.
A bitter smile appeared on Yong Dae-Hoon’s lips.
“I will ask the CEO to put you on my team. I think we will be good partners.”
I said, barely holding back my rage.
“Who cares?”
“It’s the heart of a winner. Right, sir?”
Baek Chang-soo, who was listening from afar, nodded.
“great.”
I didn’t want to be on the same team as this kid.
They pretend to be good and righteous on the outside, but they are actually pumpkin seeds.
You never know when you might get stabbed in the back of the head while on the same team.
I shouted at Baek Chang-soo.
“Sir, what will you do if I win?”
“That won’t happen.”
I ignored Yong Dae-hoon and stared at Baek Chang-soo.
Baek Chang-soo looked at me intently and said.
“What do you want?”
“If I win, give me the team leader position.”
In response to my request, the people around me were more upset than Baek Chang-soo.
“what??”
“What nonsense···!”
“No!”
Although most of the voices were in resolute opposition, Baek Chang-soo crossed his arms and looked at me as if he found it amusing.
That sight somehow seemed promising.
I spoke quickly.
“If I win, let me form a new team. I will personally recruit team members and carry out missions autonomously.”
“······.”
This was originally a story that was to be told much later.
This is something I should have said after I had gained some recognition for my skills in the guild.
But it still seemed like not bad timing.
My ambitions may seem excessive, but
The Baek Chang-soo I know liked that type of person, not disliked him.
Shh.
As expected, a smile appeared on Baek Chang-soo’s lips.
“Okay. If you beat Team Leader Yong, I will create Team 7.”
Although voices of concern were heard from all sides, Baek Chang-soo did not change his words once he had said them.
“but.”
But that doesn’t mean I was just accepted like a fool.
“If the landlord loses, I will cut the deposit in half and double the contract period. What do you think?”
In this situation, that’s the kind of deal you make.
I nodded and smiled.
“I accept it.”
The deal was done. Yong Dae-hoon, who had been standing there like a stone statue, said with a frown.
“Mr. Landlord. Do you really think you can beat me?”
To state the obvious.
Because I know your weaknesses that no one else knows.
I sent a message to Yong Dae-Hoon.
-You like Baek Yeong-hee? That’s why you’re trying to destroy me and show off, you little brat. And don’t you know that I’m trying to put you on my team and treat you like shit?-
“Wh, what are you talking about?”
There are more than a few men in the White House who are in love with Baek Yeong-hee, but Yong Dae-hoon was one of them.
He even had a picture of Baek Yeong-hee on the wall in his room.
He was later photographed by a gossip reporter, and suffered all kinds of humiliation and was even kicked out of the guild.
-You painted your room with Baek Young-hee’s pictures? You pervert.-
“Who, who made such a false accusation!”
Yong Dae-hoon’s expression turned bright red with embarrassment and anger.
He, who did not know the phonetics, looked very embarrassed as he had no idea what I was talking about.
-Baek Young-hee doesn’t know that? What would she say if she knew···.-
Yong Dae-Hoon finally lost his mind.
“shut up-!!”
Yong Dae-Hoon’s skin turned red and his veins began to bulge.
It was a way to increase physical abilities by raising mana to the maximum.
That image is none other than an angry bull.
-Wow, wow. Don’t get too excited. She’s watching.-
“I told you to shut up!”
Yong Dae-hoon charged straight at me. It was the fastest and most destructive thing I’d ever seen.
I didn’t avoid him.
I raised my mana according to the teachings of the Great Heart Method, and at the same time, I thought of the most destructive martial art I knew.
I only managed to learn the difficult first steps, but that was enough.
Wall Power Fist
A small bolt of lightning flew from the outstretched fist.
“It would be better to block it with a shield.”
Whether because of my warning or because he felt an instinctive sense of crisis, Yong Dae-Hoon raised his shield.
Because it’s too late to avoid it.
My fist slammed into it.
Phew! Phew!
Yong Dae-Hoon’s figure flew out of the forest.
dump.
And then I collapsed on the floor.
For a moment, the world looked yellow, perhaps because most of my mana had been squeezed out.
“Sigh. It’s hard to make money.”
