Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 285

Old Fox (5)

Baek Seok-ho.

Aged 55.

No, maybe 56.

I had long since forgotten my age and birthday because I was so happy.

For Baek Seok-ho, who had entered his fifties and was old enough to know the will of heaven, his birthday was a day to listen to flattery and receive bribes in the form of gifts.

Before I knew it, my birthday had become a day for special work rather than a day to celebrate.

Well, if you ask me if my birthday was a special day when I was young, well, I don’t know.

That wasn’t it.

Because life was hard when I was young.

Even if I wanted to commemorate it, I didn’t have the means to do so.

There was no food that would break the table, no dazzling gifts.

Young Baek Seok-ho savored hunger instead of food, and poverty instead of gifts. He was a hated child of the collateral line.

He was also the son of a father who was pushed out in a power struggle.

They were accustomed to humiliation and persecution, and took it for granted.

When it was revealed that Baek Seok-ho had incredible talent, and when his shabby hand was grabbed by the legitimate successor of the family.

Baek Seok-ho’s life changed completely.

Eating well and receiving gifts became a given in life.

No one ignored him. Instead, they bowed their heads.

At first, only the lower-ranking servants bowed their heads, but as Baek Seok-ho’s power grew and his talents blossomed, even the stiff-headed noblemen began to bow their heads.

From being ruled to becoming ruler.

But just one person.

That man alone never bowed his head to him.

There was no reason to stay up late.

Because he was a person far above Baek Seok-ho.

Neither ability, nor talent, nor status.

He was a man who ruled while holding everything in his hands. The head of the household never bowed.

But as time passed, the number of people who did not bow their heads to Baek Seok-ho increased.

Second person.

A respected elder of the family.

Baek Seok-ho, who studied morality and politics, bowed his head to the first elder.

He needed to look good because he was well-connected.

Third person.

The head of the household brought in his wife.

He was a distant relative born with powerful supernatural powers.

He is very talented. His lineage and genealogy are also solid.

The fourth person.

The family saw their first child.

The eldest daughter. Since she cannot become the head of the household as a woman, she will eventually get married or give up on marriage and become the eldest daughter.

At least until I was 5 years old, I played with Baek Seok-ho by pulling his beard.

Fifth person.

He was an ominous child.

The eldest son. He was the only legitimate son of the family and the next owner of Baek Seok-ho, who was designated as the next successor immediately after birth.

He was born with black hair, which was considered unlucky in his family.

Many elders and direct and collateral lines expressed concern. However, when he began to show an absurd prowess in magic, no more words were spoken.

He soon became the head of a small household.

Sixth person.

Second daughter. A girl with a tender heart.

Unlike the eldest daughter who grew up pulling her own beard, she was shy and often hid behind her brother’s back. However, despite her personality, she took after her mother and had an incredible talent for supernatural powers.

Before long, the girl became a priestess in charge of the family rites.

Although the priests did not hold a position of power like the heads of households or elders, they held a position of honor comparable to them.

At that time, she was only seven years old.

After her, there was no one Baek Seok-ho bowed his head to.

Rather, it decreased and never increased.

Baek Seok-ho, who was training his sword and developing supernatural powers, became stronger and stronger.

Before he knew it, he had become the 8th guild leader of the Nine Tails Guild and was about to join the ranks of high rankers, when the head of the household, his wife, passed away from illness.

It was the moment when the six people above Baek Seok-ho’s head were reduced to four in an instant.

For some reason.

I felt relieved rather than sad.

It felt like two big rocks in my heart had disappeared.

‘It’s strange. Why am I not crying?’

No matter how talented he is, Baek Seok-ho’s current position would have been impossible to reach without the full support and sponsorship of his family.

He was a benefactor and a heaven to him.

As the sky above his head disappeared, Baek Seok-ho realized.

‘The opportunity has come.’

The opportunity to become heaven itself has come.

‘Once I’ve eliminated everyone, there’s no one left above me. Starting from the lowest place, I can rise to the highest place.’

The golden opportunity has arrived to end the last days of a humble birth with a glorious life. The elder is the head of the collateral line.

Becoming the head of the family, both direct and collateral, is a long way off, but once you get there, it’s over. I’ve proven that I’m the real deal, beating out the three children of the head of the family.

‘Money. Control the power of money.’

He gradually took away the businesses and money tied to the family’s seal.

In the process, the young head of the household. Baek Seok-ho, who often made eye contact with Baek Seung-woo, felt like a sinner for some reason as his chest began to tighten without him knowing it.

But that feeling was fleeting.

‘Grow the group, raise your voice.’

The S-class guild, , has been raised to its limit.

Originally it was an S-class guild, but now it has grown to the point where rumors are spreading that it is number one in the world.

He also nurtured talent to the limit. He secretly leaked the family’s vision and raised all of his subordinates into S-class players.

Talented executives sometimes became rankers.

‘Clean up the direct descendants.’

A direct descendant of the family. Children of the previous head of the family.

The eldest and second daughters were able to get away on the pretext of getting married, but it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

Is it because the world has changed?

The eldest and second daughters were not interested in marriage.

When the elders brought up the idea that the bloodline should be inherited, he refuted their logic point by point, making them sound like dumb people.

The same goes for Baek Seok-ho. He made a slip of the tongue at an official event, and his eldest daughter, who did not miss it, caused Baek Seok-ho to lose his position.

However, Baek Seok-ho, who had built up his wealth and power, quickly recovered, but the eldest and second daughters had succeeded in building groups comparable to those of their elders.

The plan to eliminate the direct line was still in progress.

I think it will take a long time.

But the most important thing is that it was successful. No, I thought it was successful until just a few months ago.

‘The position of the head of the household. The throne is made vacant.’

The previous head of the household.

Immediately after the death of Baek Seok-ho’s benefactor.

The position of the head of the household was inherited by his successor, Baek Seung-woo, in accordance with the family precepts and rules.

Everyone was worried that a minor would become the head of the household, but the real reason was different. He was a genius, but he was too young.

Gradually take away his power through a power struggle, force him out of office, and take his place to become the head of the household!

A position that elders from collateral lines could never have dreamed of in their entire lives.

That was the position of the head of the household. A very good opportunity arose.

So I invested a very long time into it.

In order to become a master, I put down the spear I had trained with and picked up a pen.

In order to gain the greatest benefit by participating in the power struggle, he learned politics instead of supernatural powers. Baek Seok-ho was no longer a Chang-su.

In the past, he was proud of the fact that he was unmanned.

The Creator.

A legendary spearman who was said to have fought with the best spearmen of his time and was on par with them.

He who had been there was no longer anywhere.

Naturally, Baek Seok-ho’s skills gradually declined, and he began looking for new recruits to make up for his lost skills, just like he did when he was younger.

I was looking for a weapon that would allow me to move quickly and use spear techniques. In the process, I came across Guyaja.

Guyajya.

Someone said about him.

He is the reincarnation of the legendary blacksmith who created countless swords.

Sword, legend, reincarnation.

In fact, such expressions were nothing more than promotional slogans to promote him.

However, many people began to take notice of that phrase, and the one who showed the most interest was Baek Seok-ho.

He asked Guyaja to make a window.

A spear that can restore one’s strength to its former state.

The content he demanded for this was so extensive that it would have filled two sheets of A4 paper. In fact, it didn’t matter if half of it wasn’t fulfilled.

Because I asked for things knowing they were impossible.

But surprisingly, Gu Ya-ja complied with all of Baek Seok-ho’s demands.

The window was perfect.

It was so perfect that Baek Seok-ho suddenly felt scared.

What would happen if Guyaja’s weapon fell into the hands of his political enemies?

It’s just imagination.

However, Baek Seok-ho was soon consumed by his own imagination.

In his imagination, Baek Seok-ho was holding his head in the form of his political enemies, elders, or Baek Seung-woo’s severed head.

When I came to my senses.

Rather, the supply was in Baek Seok-ho’s hands.

The heads of Guyaja’s wife and children. Baek Seok-ho killed Guyaja’s family with the mindset of killing them before they were killed.

however.

‘Where is Gu Ya-ja? Did I kill her?’

I can’t remember.

To be exact, no thoughts came to mind.

What came into Baek Seok-ho’s sight was a half-destroyed blacksmith shop, a collapsed house, and the sight of a family with their heads cut off.

What… … Probably dead.

Thinking that way made me feel better.

Yeah, this brings me one step closer to being the leader.

After that, Baek Seok-ho completely forgot about the incident.

It’s not that his memory has declined as he has gotten older, it’s just that it wasn’t an event that he needed to remember. At least for Baek Seok-ho.

Maybe he doesn’t know.

He couldn’t even imagine that Goyaja was sharpening her sword for revenge and giving Baek Seungwoo the proof of it.

One day, Baek Seok-ho, who was swinging a spear, wanted a better spear.

As I got older and became more comfortable with the pen than the spear, I needed a better spear.

However, there was no way to find anything better than Gu Yaja’s spear on the market, and Baek Seok-ho eventually went to the underworld.

There, Baek Seok-ho met Mine.

A strange-looking mine. He gave Baek Seok-ho a spear made of lightning and a black sphere.

Both were unusual items.

The spear made of lightning was not a weapon that a mere human could hold, and the black sphere felt like touching flesh soaked in blood.

Baek Seok-ho and Mine made some kind of deal.

He later threw away the window.

The window of the Guyaja.

A window made of lightning.

I threw away everything I had worked hard for.

And that was the end of Baek Seok-ho.

I say it again.

Baek Seok-ho.

Aged 50.

The man who did not even know exactly how old he was in his entire life died. As a sage, as an elder, as a human being.

As a window, he died more than ten years ago.

The legend of Changjon, who had shaken up the industry for over 15 years, came to an end as he put down his window and picked up his pen.

As an elder, I had long since forgotten the meaning of assisting the head of the household.

He also lost his humanity.

The old fox couldn’t control his greed.

“Your blackened appearance is ugly. At least your eyes were alive when you swung the spear.”

The greed eventually grew to the point where it swallowed even the fox itself.

“But now it’s just a beast with horns.”

There is no fox anymore.

Only that ugly greed remained, glaring at them.

Of course, it was something that could no longer be called Baek Seok-ho.
