Episode 53
saint (6)
Muong.
To some extent, I couldn’t keep up with the situation. Has more time passed since I fainted than I thought? What on earth has happened so far that the kidnapper is bowing his head?
However, regardless of the level of confusion, the situation was progressing smoothly.
Seoyoon sighed slightly at Serin’s attitude and then spoke to her.
“Please raise your head. “You kept your promise, so I will keep my promise too.”
“Really? Holy woman. Thank you very much!”
“And please stop calling me that saint. Because I’m embarrassed. “A name is enough.”
“Uhm… okay. i get it. Seo-yoon.”
Serin nodded her head vigorously with a face filled with joy.
“Hey, I’m not someone who has anything to do with this, right? “I wish I could hear some explanation.”
Feeling somewhat like a folding screen, Do-do joined the conversation between the two people.
“Oh, that’s it.”
After hearing those words, Serin hesitated and looked at Seo-yoon’s thoughts. She probably looked at Seo-yoon to mean that, for her part, she didn’t want to reveal as much information as possible.
“Please tell your brother too. “I’m going to tell you everything anyway, even if you don’t tell me.”
Seoyoon was a smart woman even today. She opened her mouth at Seoyoon’s words as if Serin had no choice.
“Yeah, that’s right. “You are not an irrelevant person, so of course I have to explain.”
“… you?”
I got a little goosebumps. Not only is the scenery inside the house historical, but even the tone of speech?
She blushed and made an excuse, as if the criticism had stung her.
“It’s fine outside, but here, my natural tone comes out without me even realizing it. It’s just a way of speaking that I’ve used since I was young due to my strict family customs. Don’t embarrass me like that. “No, Mara.”
is it. There actually exists a place that still continues such Confucian traditions. To her degree, he understood her and nodded her head. However, Seoyoon frowned slightly as if she did not like her and spoke to Serin.
“Mr. Serin. “Excuse me, but what is your age this year?”
“hmm? Me? I am 22 years old this year. “Why is that?”
“… Let’s add one condition. From now on, please use respectful language towards your brother.”
“… … .”
Serin blinked at the unexpected request. And it’s the same to a degree.
‘Why is he like this today?’
The opponent is an S-class user. Not only Seo-yoon, but also himself, who was suffering from the rebound of <Dragon’s Blood Awakening>, had no way of resisting if Serin had his way. If you get on her nerves like that and she changes… Although she broke out in a cold sweat to some extent, she spoke calmly without even knowing her true feelings.
“Actually, isn’t it a natural thing that you don’t even have to ask for? “It’s not a very nice sight to speak informally to someone who is much older than you.”
Seoyoon smiles softly while saying that. To Jeong-do, it was just a pretty smile, but Serin didn’t feel it that way, so her face turned pale and she lowered her head to Jeong-do.
“I’m sorry! No, I do! Since my main job is to be wary of strangers, I don’t even know how to speak informally… sorry!”
Her attitude, which had become extremely polite, made me feel somewhat more delicate. This was not an unfamiliar scene to Jeong-do, who worked in sales. Of course, she was mostly on the cuddly side like Serin…
‘Situations like this usually occur when one person unilaterally holds enormous control.’
Anyway, I couldn’t understand this situation where a person who was almost kidnapped was attacking the kidnapper (?), so I continued the story.
“I’m fine. Rather… ”
“please. Please speak comfortably. “I am sorry that someone who is older than me and who is overwhelmingly stronger speaks loudly.”
“… ha. okay.”
What is that. It’s not an animal kingdom where the might of the fittest is the fittest, and informal and polite speech are determined based on the level of strength. No, didn’t you speak informally just a moment ago? It’s okay to speak informally to someone who is stronger than you, but it’s uncomfortable to hear someone speak politely to you. Her speaking style was a mess, but she decided not to care. Because that wasn’t what mattered to her anyway.
“First of all, let me ask you something I’m curious about. Who are you? And where are we?”
Unlike when she attacked herself and Seoyoon, she took off her mask and revealed her bare face. She probably decided that there was no need to hide her identity after coming this far. And she answered obediently, as if that prediction was correct.
“I am a member of a Korean martial arts group. My name is Ryusein and I belong to the North Star. Oh, the Sungmu group, to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, is a group of Realizers.
“what?!”
Jeong Do was surprised by the unexpected words.
Realize.
It was a term referring to those who awakened on their own through arduous training and meditation without the help of an Awaker. It was understandable that he hid his identity. Basically, they were extremely reluctant to encounter the secular world, especially users who had awakened as Awakers.
Awakened people before Awaker was developed.
It was a story that is almost dismissed as an urban legend now, but now they have appeared before our eyes. Jeongdo said with admiration.
“This is my first time seeing it in person. “Is that really why it was so strong?”
“yes? “Isn’t that Realize too?”
Serin said as if it was strange to the level of admiration.
“huh? No way. “I awakened as an Awaker.”
“yes? This is ridiculous! Their martial arts were already at a high level. It was a level that those who were created could never reach… .”
Zara was created.
It may seem that way to those who awaken through arduous training. The degree told her with a wry smile.
“Well, that’s not important. Realize… “So is this like Realize’s headquarters?”
“no. Think of this place like a vacation home. Originally, they would have taken him to headquarters, but internal circumstances were involved… ”
Whether it was the headquarters or the villa, it was the same in that it was the den of Realizers. Jeongdo asked what was most important.
“Why do you want Seoyoon? “Is your purpose to save the life of someone you mentioned earlier?”
“That’s right. “I hope you can save one person with the power of the saint.”
Perhaps the patient was important enough to consider kidnapping if he refused treatment. The degree continued to ask.
“What does that promise you said earlier mean?”
“The search began immediately after the masked man disappeared yesterday. I found you lying alone not far away… ”
“for a moment? Just me? “Are there any other bodies next to me?”
“yes? no. “I was alone.”
Jeong Do narrowed his eyes at her words.

‘Alone? No way.’
Surely there must be a man’s corpse next to him? If there had been one, Serin would have mentioned it. Her degree glanced at her, but she didn’t look lying at all.
Jeongdo’s expression became serious, but she couldn’t see it and continued talking.
“Anyway, the condition there was very bad. At that time, the saint made the first suggestion. “If you let us live, you will follow us.”
“… … .”
In the end, did Seoyoon sacrifice herself to save her own life? Her degree looked at her with regret, but instead she just shook her head.
“There is no need for you to feel sorry, brother. “If it weren’t for my brother, I would have been forcibly brought here anyway.”
“Well, I’m sorry about that. “I’ll make a formal apology after the incident is over.”
Serin was offended by Seoyoon’s harsh words and apologized. Indeed, that was the reason why Seoyoon was unusually harsh.
“Anyway, for that reason, we brought him in, treated him, and successfully recovered him. Now it is her turn to keep her promise.”
“I know the story, but… What can Seoyoon do? “Seoyoon has never really learned any healing skills.”
Could it be that she learned healing skills without her knowledge? Her degree looked at her, but she also slowly shook her head as if she had not heard anything. However, despite the two’s reactions, Serin said as if she was not worried.
“We prepared the treatment method. “I don’t know exactly, but they say it’s possible if you’re a <saint>.”
What on earth is this method that requires a saint? She must have sensed some questioning gaze as Serin jumped up from her seat and spoke.
“please wait for a moment. “I’ll bring the cure now!”
Serin said that and left the room and ran somewhere. A sight that lets you know at a glance that she is excited. After confirming that she had disappeared far away, Jeong-do spoke to Seo-yoon.
“There is one thing I don’t understand.”
“Which one?”
“I heard you agreed to save someone else in exchange for saving my life? “Then, since we are exchanging lives on a one-to-one basis, why is the other side taking such a low stance?”
Isn’t this an equal relationship between both sides, saving each other’s lives? I wondered if it was because he felt sorry for trying to kidnap me in the first place, but even considering that, his attitude was too low-key.
“Oh, that’s… ”
Seoyoon tried to say something as if she had guessed something, but immediately closed her mouth. Then he started to look around. It’s like, can I really say this? ‘ Jeongdo asked in response to his hesitant behavior.
“Is this something I shouldn’t know?”
“no. “It’s not really like that.”
She hesitated, but then opened her mouth.
“I think that this woman, Serin, is a very important person who needs to be saved. So much so that saving her brother felt so trivial. Well, to use an analogy, what is the difference between a slave’s life and a king’s life?”
“… … .”
I understand what you want to say. And I understand that he was hesitant to say it because he thought he would get hurt. However, if you really thought you would be hurt, isn’t the last analogy too much? I was so angry for no reason that I told Seo-yoon.
“no way. Even though we are the same person… ”
<I think what Seoyoon said is right!>
“… “It might make a difference.”
Ixia, who had not said a word until now, came in suddenly.
<Persimmon-lv.2>
Hateable talent.
I had no choice but to admit that Seoyoon’s guess was correct.
Yes, everyone has someone precious to them. Just as Seoyoon’s life is more important than that of someone whose name she does not know, there must be someone like that for Serin. Thinking like that made me feel at ease.
The moment when Do-do completes his spiritual victory.
“I’m going in.”
With a knock on the door, Serin announced her return and carefully entered the room. She was as empty-handed as when she left.
“hmm? “What about the items?”
“ah. “Here it is.”
After saying that, she carefully took the item out of her pocket and put it down.
Gargoyle.
The object she put down was a beautiful stone statue of a woman.
“Actually, I don’t know exactly how to use it. However, he said that I could bring this item to the saint before he collapsed… ”
“Right. “Now I understand.”
Jeongdo looked at the stone statue and nodded.
The stone statue gave off an energy that Jeongdo had felt before.
To be precise.
It was very similar to the energy I received as a reward in Jeong Yak-yong’s secret dungeon.
To some extent, I used observation towards the statue.
Tiring!
<Skill Stone – All Recovery>
<When used, you can learn All Recovery, the highest level recovery magic. (Restrictions on use: Talent <Saint> held)>
This was the reason why Serin wanted Seo-yoon to the point of resorting to extreme measures such as kidnapping.
The identity of the statue is an All-Recovery Skill Stone, said to be the pinnacle of recovery magic!
If it’s an attack, it’s an attack, if it’s a defense, it’s defense, and if it’s a buff, it’s a buff. And now, recovery.
It was the moment when Seoyoon was reborn as the best combat healer.
