Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 286

Infinite (1)

There is something called pride.

It was a confidence that was usually valued more by the unmanned race than by ordinary people. A confidence that came from one’s own abilities.

That’s pride.

However, this does not mean that all drones value pride.

It is not strange for ordinary people, not unmanned, to have pride.

“Pride is a difficult thing. It’s an emotion that is generally difficult to feel. It’s rare for pride to be felt by one’s own strength.”

A natural genius.

From what I’ve seen, people like Eve and Nam Hwa-yeon have the qualifications to be confident in their own abilities. However, it’s not easy to acquire this qualification on your own.

Usually, you need a support group and background.

Don’t trust me.

I trust the stability that comes from the group I belong to and the strength that I learn from the group.

So, as I said before.

It is easier for unmanned vehicles to feel pride than ordinary people.

They have martial arts that share common roots, and they have their own schools and histories.

So most unmanned people live with pride in their hearts.

“Every single person I’ve ever seen has pride in themselves. Even the young students. But you were the first.”

It is not a matter of pride to be unmanned.

Except me.

Baek Seok-ho, he was the first.

‘It’s not that I didn’t have pride, but it eventually became dull and collapsed.’

In my case, it’s not that I didn’t have any pride from the beginning.

My pride was completely shattered by an acquired experience, and I lost my self-esteem due to the psychological shock.

But Baek Seok-ho was different.

Even the way he handled the window was different.

A spear technique that uses all one’s might to stab an opponent. The spear technique does not take into account the durability of the spear at all.

No, perhaps it was the durability of the spear that was being focused on more than any other spear technique.

This is because Baek Seok-ho’s spear technique uses the spear to its limit, assuming that the spear will break with a single thrust.

‘For a warrior, weapons are like limbs, but for Baek Seok-ho, I couldn’t feel any value beyond them being a consumable.’

I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with that approach.

Anyway, weapons are consumables.

If it can be repaired and used, it is repaired, and if it needs to be replaced, it is replaced. However, for a warrior who has overcome countless hardships and realms, it is right to take care of his weapon as much as possible.

‘This is more of my subjective opinion.’

It was a fact I could tell because all the drones I had seen so far were like that. They all treasured their weapons.

Maybe they are running low on supplies and trying to conserve as much as possible.

Their attitude toward weapons was one of confidence and pride.

He even showed confidence that he could overcome any hardship with his own weapon.

And the moment I also grabbed the pure white sword.

I could understand their feelings.

With this sword, I can overcome any hardship or adversity.

I felt that confidence.

But it seems that Baek Seok-ho has never felt that way before.

Unlike the tremendous majesty it had displayed until just now, the lightning spear now resembles a reed spread out on the ground.

Astragalus.

The moment he became a mine, he let go of the spear.

It’s not that Baek Seok-ho is confident in his fighting skills, but it’s because fighting with his body armed with brute strength is much more powerful than swinging a spear.

I was convinced when I saw that sight.

That Baek Seok-ho has no pride whatsoever.

victory?

Yeah, that’s important too.

However, the pinnacle of spearmanship that was displayed repeatedly at Baek Seok-ho’s fingertips was a scene that showed how long he had been honing his spearmanship.

As soon as he put down his window, it was as if he put down his pride.

It was an admission that the twisted body that had been reduced to a mine was much stronger and more impressive than the body that had been trained for decades.

“You have been reduced to a beast that is not worthy of respect or worth anything.”

Fall. I don’t know how many times that word has sounded so good.

It is not common for noble or great people to become corrupt, or for vested interests above to fall to the ground.

Because people in high places have many means of protecting themselves.

Force, money, power. Of course, these basic powers.

There are also intangible means such as personal connections.

“You had everything, but you wanted more, so you tried to grab more than you could handle, and in the end you spilled everything.”

Surprisingly, the beast in front of me.

There was a time when he had it all.

Although he is no longer human, he was a man who possessed all the things mentioned above, such as military power, money, authority, and connections.

What Baek Seok-ho had in his hands was never excessive.

They were all a product of his talent and the result of his hard work.

But he wasn’t satisfied with that.

I was not satisfied.

No amount of stretching could stop the old fox’s lust.

Thirst, that strange sensation, continued to fuel Baek Seok-ho’s desires, making him impatient and clouding his judgment.

This was the result.

“Answer me. Did you want to become a lord that badly?”

“Huh… why is this what I look like?”

“Is it something you wanted so badly that you would give up everything? The hat I wear? The throne I sit on?”

“Of course! Elder, Jang, Chang-soo. They were within my reach with my efforts. But not the head of the household. If it weren’t for bloodline, that damned bloodline, I would have been the one sitting there!”

Baek Seok-ho, who was still dazed and touching his face and tail, suddenly spoke in anger. His pupils were full of veins.

I can sense the madness in his eyes.

It’s not a gentle madness.

It was a madness so vivid and clear that I could immediately see Baek Seok-ho’s psychological state. He was really crazy.

It seems that the shock of his body hair turning black was that great.

“It’s not a secret that if you become a mine, parts of your body will turn pitch black. It’s a publicly known fact. Do you think someone who acts as if he didn’t know there would be such a side effect deserves the position of head of the household?”

“Shut up! If only I had that bloodline, that damn bloodline, I wouldn’t have had to suffer such a thing!”

“……That’s interesting.”

It was more enjoyable than I thought to see the broken Baek Seok-ho.

He was an enemy I had to deal with, but he was also an enemy at the highest level. That’s why it took a lot of preparation to bring down Baek Seok-ho.

“Do you know how much preliminary work I did to get you to this point?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Haven’t you been running low on money lately?”

“……you!”

The Ninetails Guild’s income is largely divided into two categories.

By-product sales and sponsorship.

It’s a sponsorship, just like any other organization.

If you are big and famous, you can get in naturally, but selling byproducts is a bit complicated. Most of the byproducts sold by guilds are monster corpses and magic stones.

Since magic stones are an energy resource and an object with infinite development potential, governments, companies, and any other organization come looking for them with a lot of money.

But the monster’s corpse.

Excluding highly desirable parts such as leather, bones, teeth, and claws, there are more than a few parts that are difficult to sell.

For example, if you hunt a monster as big as a building, it’s not easy to dismantle it, so you hire people to transport it whole.

There are cases where it is transported by cutting it into hundreds of pieces, but the commercial value of parts such as bones decreases when cut into pieces. However, if you ask if bones are a part that should be abandoned because there is no demand, that is not the case.

How much demand are there for bones?

The demand for weapons, armor, accessories, etc. is so high that they cannot be sold because they are out of stock.

You can’t diminish the commercial value of such bones.

So if you bring it in whole, the remaining byproducts will be a headache.

Eyeballs and brains are somewhat in demand, but the rest of the organs are mostly disposable. Parts such as muscles and flesh are also considered minor.

There are some rich people or crazy people who want to try eating monster meat, but most monster meat is extremely tough and contaminated with demonic energy, so it is essential to go through a process of excreting the toxins.

Because of that, disposing of it is not an easy task.

That goes without saying.

Ninetails, considered one of the best guilds in the world, was also experiencing similar problems.

But recently, it has become difficult to dispose of the byproducts of the monster.

“You reported our business! No, you took it away!”

“Then who would do something illegal?”

“What the hell! Do you have any idea how much we’ve lost by getting entangled in politics because of you?”

“Is this my job?”

So the Ninetails Guild sells the unsold parts of monsters.

They have been disposing of flesh, muscles and organs illegally.

Their muscles were ground up and used as fertilizer for all sorts of illegal herbs, their organs were secretly sold to scientists researching artificial organs, and their flesh was crushed and put into processed foods to be sold.

In the case of processed foods, meat mixed with toxins was used, but because such a small amount was used, it was controlled so that no matter how much was consumed, only an upset stomach would occur.

If someone died after eating processed foods they supplied, they would pretend not to know about it, using the person’s underlying illness or health as an excuse.

Even though they knew full well that they died from being infected with a small amount of magic poison due to their sensitive constitution.

The Ninetails Guild moved and acted calmly.

‘I reported those facts.’

government?

The press?

It was clear that if such troublesome people heard about it, Ninetails would be reduced in size, so he leaked the information to his elders and sisters. Thus, Ninetails’ money supply naturally began to shrink.

Those who had been secretly researching artificial organs by buying organs from Ninetails no longer purchase organs because of the medicine I created.

With that money, I’ll buy my own medicine and have it thoroughly analyzed.

“I thought something was strange! It was all because of you! Because of you, my money dried up. I didn’t have enough money to invest in the business I had started a long time ago, so I had no choice but to receive support from the Mines! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had to take the elixir, and I wouldn’t have ended up in such an ugly state!!!”

“okay?”

I see. So that’s how the butterfly effect worked.

I didn’t expect that at all.

My goal was to diminish Ninetails, but I ended up helping to turn him into a mine.

I don’t know whether to see this as a good thing or a bad thing.

“But it’s all your own fault. Earning money through illegal means, running a business recklessly and failing because you ran out of cash, receiving support from Mine, and choosing to become a Mine.”

Every single one of them is self-inflicted and self-inflicted.

It’s just that I stumbled over my own tricks and got entangled in my own words and actions.

Do you want to become a head of a household by doing this?

“Do you want to become a family head that much?”

“……What else are you asking? I’ve done this and come this far. It’s no longer a question of whether I want to do it or not. I absolutely have to do it.”

This was the last conversation between us.

Baek Seok-ho’s eyes, which had been shaking violently, found peace.

Although he couldn’t help feeling disgusted by his own appearance, he seemed to have managed to control his feelings in his own way.

Well then, they’re going to attack soon.

Just a moment before that.

I haven’t recovered all the magic power I’ve expended yet.

So I opened my mouth to Baek Seok-ho.

“okay.”

I roughly understand the principle of your actions.

however.

Do you know that?

Your thirst for the seat of the household is indeed.

“Then I will give you the position of the head of the household.”

If you become the head of a household, will you stop?

“If you want it that much, there’s no reason not to give it to you. To be honest, I don’t have any great attachment to the position of the head of the household.”

He took something out of his pocket and threw it on the floor.

Bam.

Something cylindrical on the floor moved around like a thud.

The moment it touched Baek Seok-ho’s feet, his eyes began to tremble without mercy.

Transformed into a mine, the pupils shake more violently than when the body hair turns black.

I said, confident in that appearance.

“What are you doing if you don’t pick it up? Aren’t you going to pick up the head of the household’s official seal?”

Seal. It was a seal and a symbol of the family.

Although there was no pair of seals, that alone was one of the means to prove one’s ancestral home.

An item that every head of a family has never let go of, no matter what happens.

It is on a different level from the seal commonly used in families.

The seal, which was made up of thousands of magical powers and spells, could never be forged, and it was a rule that it would never be removed from the head of the household, even if he was exiled.

That’s why.

If Baek Seok-ho were to become the head of a household, the first thing he would want was this seal. And that seal was right at his feet right now.

Now all you have to do is pick it up.

however…….

“……uh?”

I couldn’t find the seal.

I can’t even think of picking it up.

‘If I can get this so easily, what have I been doing so far?’

Baek Seok-ho thought.

Was there a reason why I turned into a mine?

At that moment, I began to feel skeptical about life.
