Episode 110: To join the Coconut Family

Cheon Do-un looked at Oh Bong-su and smiled.

“okay. “It could be engraved if you want.”

If I told Nari Kim, engraving wasn’t a problem.

Even Cheon Do-un couldn’t tell what it would look like, but drawing it itself took only a few seconds.

When the positive answer came back, Oh Bong-su looked full of motivation.

“You said earlier that you were an original member. “Is there room for me too?”

“Yes. Even if not, I came to recruit you.”

“Um, me?”

Cheon Do-un nodded.

It was true that I came to check on him because I thought his skills would be useful in expanding the house.

“But to join the Coconut Family, you have to be able to pass through the gate. “That is the minimum requirement to join.”

“ah… .”

Oh Bong-su groaned with a sad face.

He is still in F grade. He was at a level where he could not cross the gate.

Cheon Do-un said while scanning his body with mana.

“I’ll give you a choice. Should I practice slowly here like now? Or maybe I’ll take a shortcut in a slightly rough way.”

“A shortcut?”

“okay. “I’m raising your grade to D so you can pass the gate right now.”

Oh Bong-su looked surprised at Cheon Do-un’s words. If that was possible, there was no reason to refuse.

I will choose that shortcut. Oh Bong-su was about to say that, but stopped just before that.

‘wait. Raising your awakened level overnight… ‘If there is a way, why don’t people do it?’

As a slum boy, Oh Bong-su was very suspicious. To put it nicely, he was a cautious person.

“What is that shortcut?”

“It’s simple. “I’m artificially breaking your mana hole once.”

Oh Bong-su took a step back at the bizarre answer.

“Was the expression a little strange? There’s nothing to think strange. “This is a method that was often used in the old days.”

“It was used in the old days?”

“okay. “It was a method people often used to forcefully raise their awakening level.”

Oh Bong-su’s complexion turned pale when he heard the word “forced.”

He almost died after having his abilities forcibly amplified by others.

Since I had already experienced something like that once, I took a step back from Cheon Do-un’s words.

Cheon Do-un laughed at that reaction.

“Don’t worry, it’s not a way to waste your life like what happened to you.”

“what… “What are you doing?”

“Like I said, I’m going to destroy the mana hole. The expression is a little strange, though. “After all, the level of the awakened person goes up in a similar context.”

A phenomenon in which the mana hole naturally breaks because it cannot handle the increased amount of mana.

That is the process of increasing your grade.

Naturally, a broken mana hole creates a new vessel based on the remains.

That was what awakeners often say: breaking the wall.

“I’m going to pour my mana into you. By artificially increasing the amount of mana, you break the bowl. “All you have to do is hold the bowl while it is being reconstituted.”

“that… Is that it? “You’re saying your grade will go up because of that?”

“It’s easier said than done. This is not a method that can be used on just anyone. It can only be used by people who are about to level up. “Like you.”

Oh Bong-su looked relieved at Cheon Do-un’s explanation.

‘If that’s the case, I guess it’ll be okay.’

Based on the explanation I just heard, it didn’t seem like it would be very dangerous.

However, there were still unresolved questions.

“You can raise your level so easily. “Why don’t they use that method these days?”

“To use this method, two conditions are required. First, you must have reached the threshold where you can break the wall yourself. “I said this earlier, right?”

That depends on your own efforts. No matter how hard people tried to help, there was nothing they could do.

“What about the second condition?”

“The mentor next to you will be able to withstand the wave when the mana hole is broken.”

“Can you withstand the waves?”

“When the mana hole breaks, the wave is big. In Nam Ki-seok’s case, a pillar of fire like a hurricane rose all the way to the sky. “When the mana hole is broken, that person’s abilities burst out.”

Oh Bong-su’s mouth opened.

“Of course, that’s because he’s in the process of moving up to Class A. That won’t happen to you. “You don’t have offensive abilities to begin with.”

“Well, that’s fortunate.”

It would have been difficult if Manager Kim’s house, where he was living, was damaged while trying to raise his grade.

“Are only those two conditions required to be met?”

“that’s right.”

Oh Bong-su had a puzzled look on his face again.

I was nervous about what kind of great conditions I had to clear, but it was surprisingly simple.

I also don’t understand. Why don’t people use that simple method?

Sensing that question, Cheon Do-un quietly opened his mouth.

“The results are extreme. If the mentor who helps you is clumsy, both will die. Or both of them become disabled because their mana halls are broken.”

Oh Bong-su’s mouth opened.

“Even though we know this, the reason this method was popular in the old days is because there was a high possibility of being killed by monsters if you didn’t raise your grade like this.”

In the past, there was no time to leisurely raise your awakening level.

A world where you inevitably die from monsters. Even if it was a dangerous method, becoming stronger as quickly as possible was necessary for survival.

If you don’t do it, you might get eaten by a monster tomorrow.

If I was going to die anyway, it was natural to choose something with a higher chance of survival.

“Meh, what about the person who becomes my mentor? They say that if we fail, we both die. “Is there anyone willing to do it?”

“There were a lot. In order to survive, my colleagues who stood by my side had to become stronger as well. Hunters of that era had different tendencies than they do now.”

It was a time when there were many heroes who jumped into fire for the sake of the world.

Oh Bong-su’s mouth opened at Cheon Do-un’s explanation.

Even though it was easy to raise the awakening level, I finally understood why that method was abandoned in modern times.

“Well, then… It’s such a dangerous method. “Is there a reason you’re giving me that option?”

“Yes.”

Cheon Do-un looked at Oh Bong-su and smiled. As he has lived on the streets for a long time, he is a very perceptive child.

“Even if you wait like this, you will break the wall and become D-rank. “I think that will happen within a month or two.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“Even if you go on for the rest of your life, that D grade is your limit.”

Oh Bong-su’s body stiffened at the words that seemed like a lightning strike.

“I guess it’s because your mana hall is made up of 150 spirits. “My energy is so chaotic.”

The power contained in it is so great that it will somehow be able to break the wall right now.

But that was it.

“The moment you break the wall, the current chaotic energy will reorganize the crude vessel. “A mana hole that has been solidified by being connected randomly will never be able to break naturally again.”

“ah… .”

“Looking at your talent, I think you could have moved up even higher if you hadn’t gone through that. “It was a waste.”

Oh Bong-su has a complex face.

I had no desire to become an awakened person and achieve greatness.

However, I couldn’t help but feel regret when I heard that what was originally possible was ruined by someone else.

“Of course, if you use the method I mentioned earlier, you will be able to move up. “I just need to break the current crude vessel in advance and reconstruct a new mana hole with my mana.”

“Is it possible?”

“It is possible if you are willing to risk your life. So you choose. “If you are satisfied with Grade D, there is no need to take risks and choose this method.”

Oh Bong-su was troubled. Cheon Do-un quietly waited for the answer.

In fact, this method was not dangerous at all.

No, according to common sense, it was a risky method with a 5:5 chance of death, but at least not for Cheon Do-un.

The reason I didn’t tell you that was to make people aware of the dangers of this method.

If you talk comfortably and act comfortably as if you are going on a spring outing, Oh Bong-su will think, ‘That was easy.’

Because of this, I didn’t know that Oh Bong-su could do something for someone else in the future.

The reason Cheon Do-un did not say that he could do it easily was to prevent such a disaster.

“What do you want to do?”

“Well, I… .”

Oh Bong-su clenched his fists.

A gamble of your life. Resolution. The other party also recognizes that this is a dangerous method.

“I will.”

A decision was made with all of that in mind.

‘I said this was a dangerous method even for you. And yet you gave me a choice.’

That means believing in yourself. It means that you need your own strength.

So let’s live up to those expectations. Become an excellent awakener. I will join the Coconut Family and become his right-hand man one day.

“Thank you, brother!”

Oh Bong-su spoke with a solemn face like the protagonist of a noir movie.

“okay. Then stand there and look back.”

Oh Bong-su turned around with serious eyes.

The moment of decisive battle has arrived. This is the gamble of a lifetime. Oh Bong-su’s heart was pounding loudly.

Cheon Do-woon placed his hand on Oh Bong-su’s shoulder.

‘ah. ‘I’m a little sleepy.’

Let’s finish it quickly and go home. Cheon Doun thought leisurely and moved his mana.

* * *

Manager Kim walked down the street with a smiling face. In his hand was a patent for a hair loss medicine.

Suddenly, I remembered that the civil servant who handed over this patent certificate was in tears.

[When will the drug be officially released?]

The crown of the civil servant’s head who asked that question was sparkling under fluorescent lights.

As I left the building, a civil servant I saw for the first time bowed down.

[Blessed are you, teacher!]

He was a person whose deep M-shaped forehead looked particularly prominent.

The rumor is already out. Manager Kim smiled and headed home.

Up until then, I felt good. That was until I saw her own apartment.

“what… “What is that?”

A vortex of mana that cannot be felt by ordinary people. It was spreading around his house.

‘What happened to Oh Bong-su?’

Manager Kim ran up the stairs with a surprised face.

“Bongsu, are you okay?”

He opened the door and froze in shock again.

This is clearly his home. But when I opened the door, what I saw was a black space with nothing in it.

The black space gradually became smaller. They disappeared as if they were being sucked into one place, and there stood Cheon Do-un and Oh Bong-su.

Oh Bong-su, who was staggering, rolled his eyes and fell.

“Bo, Bongsu!”

Manager Kim threw away the patent certificate and received a warning sign that caused him to fall down.

“What the hell is this…” W-what’s going on?”

“There’s nothing to worry about. “I fainted due to the shock of the mana hole being reorganized.”

“Mana Hall… ? ah!”

Manager Kim was surprised as he looked at Oh Bong-su.

The amount of mana felt from him increased dramatically.

No matter where I looked, it didn’t feel like an F grade.

‘You broke the wall!’

Director Kim laughed at what happened while he was out.

“I guess we should throw a party. “I said that if my grade went up, I would buy a cake and have a party to celebrate.”

“okay? “Then let’s have the party inside the gate.”

Cheon Do-un picked up Oh Bong-su and carried it on his shoulder.

I broke the hearthstone with my hands.

“Seo, teacher?”

“I have a lot of work to do at home. If you have anything to say, come too. “I also have a lot to say.”

That metal mandragora gets cold, and that we need to develop a medicine for the tail feathers of poisonous parrots.

A solution to Dodak’s anxiety when separated from him, etc.

Manager Kim had a lot to solve. Director Kim looked at Oh Bong-su and Cheon Do-un alternately and then ran into the room.

After a while, he came out carrying a thick backpack.

“What is it?”

“Ingredients needed for alchemy. I brought some to the Seolsan Research Institute, but I thought I would take some to my teacher’s house as well. “You never know when something will happen.”

“okay? “Can I just take that?”

“yes!”

Cheon Do-un smiled with a subtle face.

Nam Ki-seok was taking his luggage one by one without knowing it, and before I knew it, Manager Kim was doing the same.

“I need to build a warehouse to store alchemy ingredients.”

“Warehouse?”

“You’ll know when you come. It’s still in the expansion stage. Take a look around and let me know if you see what you want. “I will reflect on it.”

What does it mean to have the desired shape?

“Please admire Nari Kim’s paintings and give her some compliments. “I drew you on the pillar too.”

“A picture? Pillar?”

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I wanted to ask, but Cheon Do-un had already entered the gate.

‘what… ‘You’ll find out when you go.’

Manager Kim entered the gate with his head tilted.
