The Return of the Talented Monopolist is Special - C3

One deep night, a month after Yujin completed the ink painting.

Outside the window, the sound of crickets tapping on the glass gently enveloped Yujin, who was lying down, in the perfect temperature that was neither hot nor cold.

It was time to go to sleep. But for Yujin, it was also the most important time of the day.

Ever since successfully establishing the silent light, whenever others were not watching, Yujin was busy contemplating the interior.

‘It’s still weak, but the aura and magic are gradually growing stronger. It’s fun. Is this the thrill that made the White Flame guys train tirelessly without a day off?

In the meantime.

Screeeech…….

Suddenly, Yujin’s door began to slowly open.

Even someone who comes into this dark room without bringing a single lantern and treads quietly.

Yujin’s expression twisted.

‘……At least our household is not.’ He’s a dangerous person.

Soon, a slender man quietly walked towards the bed.

Then, he took something out from his pocket.

What glinted in the moonlight seeping through the window was a long needle.

“Damn it.”

Yujin instinctively burst into tears, trying to ask for help.

“Wah…!”

Thud-!

The unidentified assassin quickly grabbed Yujin by the neck.

Yujin, who was suffocating, struggled and resisted by flailing her arms and legs, but…

The needle tried to mercilessly stab his dantian, which had just been born moments ago.

‘No…!’

It was just then that Yujin was screaming internally.

Crackle…!

Something sparkled from Yujin’s heart.

A violet glow.

It was the paw of a beast. Four sharp claws were clearly visible.

‘What the… is that?’

The moment Yujin, too, was startled by the bizarre phenomenon she had never seen before and widened her eyes.

“……!”

Swoosh!

The sharp claws deeply slashed the assassin’s neck.

“Ugh…!”

However, the assassin managed to narrowly avoid having their carotid artery severed by dodging backward at the last moment.

Then, with trembling eyes, he alternated between looking at Yujin and his own wounds, before soon opening the window and disappearing.

Perhaps they felt quite threatened by that purple aura emanating from Eugene’s heart.

It happened so suddenly that I even doubted whether this was real.

Yujin, who had been suffocating, barely managed to catch her breath.

In the meantime, hearing the commotion, lights turned on throughout the mansion, and someone hurriedly rushed into Yujin’s bedroom.

Ta-da!

It was Yujin’s mother, Lillian.

“Yujin!”

As soon as she entered the room, she checked Yujin’s condition and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.

The open window, the needle dropped on the floor, the bloodstains, the red mark left on Yujin’s neck.

Having grasped the entire situation, Lillian clenched her teeth.

“An assassin has entered… How dare they…!”

She then, with tears welling up in her eyes, hugged Yujin tightly.

“Yujin, I’m sorry, I’m sorry… You must have been really scared, right?” I’m sorry, honey.”

In the meantime, the servants who followed Lillian couldn’t hide their surprise.

“Ah, no…!” “Someone’s in the prince’s room!”

“There’s blood here!”

“The car, the window is open!” It looks like they escaped through the window!

The atmosphere instantly became chaotic due to the conversation among the attendants.

“Oh my, ma’am!” What should I do about this?

The constantly flustered attendants and the chaotic atmosphere further heightened the sense of unease.

Just then, Lillian muttered something under her breath.

“Stop.”

That voice was very restrained, yet louder than any shout and heavier than any silence.

“Ah…….”

“Ah…!”

The attendants covered their mouths with both hands.

Then Lillian gave orders to the attendants with a sharp gaze.

“Immediately secure the mansion’s entrances.” Search all the places where the assassin might be hiding. And gather everyone related to the mansion’s security. I will hold them accountable.

“Yes!”

A fierce killing intent rose in her eyes.

The two guardian knights who followed closely behind Lillian immediately sprang into action, obeying the command.

They saluted, wearing helmets with impressive red manes.

“Chung!”

“Galleon, Aster.” Do you know your mistake?

A voice as cold as ice pierced the ears of the two guardians like a blade.

“Yes…!”

Lillian’s eyes sank deeply.

“It’s utterly disgraceful that I trusted these useless guards.”

“I’m sorry…….”

“Shut up.” “Don’t try to brush it off with mere words.”

She suddenly raised her sword forward, cutting off the words of the two who were about to speak.

Srrng…!

“Raise your arms forward.”

The two guardians turned pale, hesitating and unable to decide what to do.

Lillian gazed at the knight with a look that seemed to freeze her in place.

The moment the guardians, with their eyes tightly shut, raised their left arms.

Rustle, rustle!

Lillian’s sword moved, and two arms fell to the ground.

“Ugh…!”

“Ahhh…!”

“Consider yourselves lucky that it wasn’t your necks that fell.”

The attendants watched the scene with stiffened expressions, and Lilian spoke softly.

“Get out.”

“Ugh…!” Thud…!

“Thud…!”

The two knights picked up their severed arms and, bleeding profusely, hurriedly left the room.

If I run to the priest right away and get treated, I might be able to reattach my arm.

Lillian closely examined the condition of Yujin, whom she was holding.

I checked as soon as I came in, but I double-checked just in case there was some trick I might have missed.

Lillian’s aura entered my body.

“Mother is examining my body.”

Lillian’s aura is rummaging through Eugene’s body.

Yujin wondered what had just come out of her heart.

Maybe my mother could figure out that purple energy.

There was no need to worry about getting caught with Atom. Because it was a specially made device.

In a moment.

“That’s a relief…”

Lillian, having confirmed that there were no issues, shouted.

“That blood is his.” “Follow the blood trail!”

At the low cry filled with aura, the remaining knights also sprang into action.

However, there were unresolved questions.

Who did the assassin bleed from being attacked by? It was.

A look of doubt crossed Lillian’s face. There was no sign that anyone around had protected Yujin.

Then…….

She shifted her gaze to Yujin.

Is it possible that it’s Yujin?

Lillian soon shook her head.

How could this newborn possibly have defeated an assassin?

Just then, a deep voice was heard from behind.

“Lillian, is Eugene okay?”

The owner of the voice was Yujin’s father, Richard.

“Fortunately, I’m okay.” Honey.

“Some audacious bastard is targeting my son.”

Grinding his teeth, Richard approached Eugene, patted him once, and then quietly instructed the butler who followed.

There are probably a few families who envied and resented our clan. The Kremlins from the north and the Visern family from the east, perhaps. Contact the Golden Crescent and investigate if they have been moving secretly recently.

Geumwoldan.

It was the undisputed top merchant alliance intelligence organization spread across the entire continent.

An organization that even fabricates nonexistent information to orchestrate events.

The immense power of being the most influential merchant family in the region was revealed at this time.

Lillian is exploring within the family.

Richard was in charge of the exploration outside the family.

Richard’s voice, dry as if no emotion could be felt at all.

“I guess I can’t let Yujin sleep here today.”

“We should sleep together in the bedroom.”

“Let’s do that.”

Yujin watched the two people walking in turn.

“Could it be that my wealthy father made enemies?” Or perhaps his mother, who came from a prestigious swordsmanship family?

Yujin used her perfect memory ability to reconstruct the scene of her recent encounter with the assassin in her mind.

The figure of the assassin jumping out the window.

Something is visible. That is…

A red scorpion tattoo coiling around a sword on the back of his neck.

Red Scorpion. A group of assassins from the Black Rebellion who gained fame by killing the bishop of the Sun God Church.

But why?

At that time, I was harboring such doubts.

“My son, I’m glad you’re safe.”

Soon, seeing Richard looking at Yujin with warm eyes, Yujin responded with a smile.

The image of Richard that Yujin saw for a few days was nothing more than a devoted husband who knew nothing but his wife.

In important moments, he became a strong support for Eugene as the head of the Roberga family.

‘So the one who turned me into a glass body was the Red Scorpion…? I have to find it for sure.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

The commotion of that night subsided, and dawn broke.

Yujin woke up early.

As the warm feeling that was felt beside me disappeared, my eyes opened on their own.

As expected, Lillian was already gone, presumably out training.

Yujin slowly looked around.

‘It seems like you only allowed Mother to come in.’

Lillian’s bedroom was sealed off by all sorts of barriers.

Thanks to that, Yujin, who had a safe time all by herself, stretched her small hands and feet and yawned.

Regression, assassins, and even an unknown purple aura. Unexpected events occurred one after another.

Even though stormy events were raging, Yujin remained calm.

The first thought that came to mind was something that jumped out of my heart.

“Perhaps this is also related to regression.”

Yujin focused her senses on her heart.

But no matter how hard I focused, I couldn’t figure anything out.

‘Even my mother, an 8-star knight, couldn’t figure it out.’ What on earth is this……?

It was unfamiliar to refer to it as an aura or magic, and it felt as if it had its own consciousness…

Screech-

“Yujin, did you sleep well?”

At the moment Yujin was lost in thought, Lillian entered the bedroom holding a rattle with a unicorn design.

Yujin immediately looked at Lilian with a bright smile.

“Ah!”

Serious worries, even if just for a moment. I was a bit overwhelmed thinking about how many years I would have to live this secret life.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

As time passed, Yujin turned 7 years old.

“Professor Eugene.” Today, we will learn about the northern region, which is the most rugged and harsh area in our school district.

“……Yeah, I’m ready.”

Fletcher, Eugene’s dedicated history teacher, polished his monocle and gazed at Eugene.

“I look forward to it again today, Confucius.” You always show the highest level of learning, so it really makes teaching enjoyable.

“Sometimes I’m scared of Fletcher.” Don’t obsess over me.

“I will consider it.” “Let’s set off today as well.”

Fletcher began writing on the chalkboard mounted on the wall with chalk.

The History of Northern Gyoji

“If it were Confucius, we would naturally believe that he has studied all the textbooks and quickly explain before the exam.”

“Okay… let’s do it.”

Yujin nodded, trying hard to hide her bored expression.

“First of all, if we want to know about the North, we need to understand the land we are standing on, which is the Gyoji.”

Fletcher continued speaking.

“The Kyohji is, simply put, a ‘confederation’ of three empires, dozens of kingdoms, and over a hundred other diverse states such as city-states and republics, all united under the name of the Sun God.” And the place created in opposition to this doctrine is the Black Flag Rebellion, abbreviated as ‘Black Flag.’ The main reason for these rebellions is the rejection of the Sun God Cult’s ideology and taxes…

He not only had perfect memory but also, being in the highest echelon of the Sun God Church, he had perused all the information on the scriptures and the Black Book.

So, basic content like this is bound to be boring to listen to.

However, there was a specific reason why Yujin insisted on asking Richard to arrange this time.

“In the context of a continent divided into the 교지 and 흑지, there would be the largest faction and family opposing the 흑지.” That place is the North.

Thud, thud.

Fletcher emphasized by writing the word “North” in large chalk letters.

“Among them, the Penchel family holds the center of the North.” It is also the maternal family of Master Eugene.

While listening to the explanation about the subsequent pencil case, Yujin nodded.

“To survive in the harsh northern lands teeming with beasts, the Pencil clan had to become strong.” I constantly repeated my training and honed my aura.

The Penchel family was a representative family of the North and a powerful house with one of the top five military strengths within the academy.

Even the Sun God religion did not have much influence over the Pencil family.

Especially among them.

“Currently, ‘Jade Pencil,’ who is the head of the Pencil family and also the grandfather of the Confucian sage, is ruling over the entire northern region.” His alias is…

North Wall, Jade Pencil.

There was even a saying that to go beyond the north, one must first go beyond Jade, as Jade was the very essence of the north.

“Once, there was a monster stream in the north.” A large-scale monster backflow incident.

Once, during the Monster Stream incident, the Black Dragon, known as the Demon King, made an appearance. It was the word ‘dragon.’

However, as a result of Jade’s efforts at that time, the Black Dragon retreated, having lost one eye and a horn.

As a result of that incident, Jade’s reputation greatly increased.

“The Black Dragon retreating, isn’t that truly amazing?” Wow!

Even if Yujin were to evaluate it, Jade’s majesty was such that it pierced the heavens and shook the earth.

How bad could it be?

“If he hadn’t died early, the Sun God Church might not have come to rule the entire continent.”

The person whom Yujin highly regarded was Jade Pencil.

Yujin, who had been lost in thought, asked Fletcher.

“Now tell me about the Lion’s Exam.”

What Yujin was curious about was something else. It was the ‘Lion’s Test.’

“As expected, you came prepared.” The Lion’s Test, that is. In simple terms, it’s the bloodline proof ceremony of the Pencelga family. It’s a high-difficulty test that you have to risk your life to take.

Fletcher is snickering. It seems like he enjoys this kind of harsh test.

“Those who pass the exam here with high marks will gain widespread immortal fame and will have the strength of the harsh North at their backs…”

Of course, Yujin was also making plans regarding this. Later, the plan was to move at least 5 years later.

What I need the most is proven swordsmanship. That, too, is a level of swordsmanship that ranks among the best on this continent.

Yujin had never even held a sword in her past life, so she had only learned swordsmanship through theory and imagination.

But now the situation is different, so we were able to strengthen the military aspect.

So I planned it.

‘I need the Crowder-style dual swordsmanship.’

Crowder-style dual swordsmanship.

It was a unique sword technique that could only be passed down to those recognized as bloodline members of the Penzel family.

Crowder was the first head of the Penzel family who created this swordsmanship, and “dual swordsmanship” literally meant using two swords.

Although Crowder had passed away, Jade was now the one who had gained fame, but when it came to the depth of memory engraved in people’s minds, even Jade had not surpassed Crowder.

‘Jade himself would resort to using Crowder-style dual swordsmanship in urgent situations, so there’s no doubt about the superiority of that technique.’

Of course, in his previous life, Eugene was familiar with the general shape and form of the Crowder-style dual swordsmanship while being in the upper echelons of the Sun God Church, but that was just an image.

Learning directly from a master like Jade, a direct descendant of the Penzel family, was on an entirely different level.

Revenge against the Sun God Church.

To achieve that, Eugene needed to lay the foundation for basic martial skills and swordsmanship, and he planned to execute this gradually by passing the trial of the dead.

‘If I perform excellently in the trial, I might be able to bring back a treasure from the Penzel family’s treasure vault.’

It would be even better if he could access the treasure vault, where many family treasures were sleeping.

After class, Fletcher spoke up.

“Shall we take the quiz now? I’m curious if you’ll get a perfect score again today. Heh heh.”

“Don’t laugh like a pervert… Why do you want the student to get something wrong…”

“The failure of a genius is happiness for an ordinary person.”

After taking the quiz…

Eugene aced it, then asked Fletcher for a favor.

“Fletcher, I’m done now. Can I leave?”

“…Uh, yes. Are you going to the training hall again today?”

Eugene shook his head and replied.

“No, not today. I need to go see my father.”

However, his expression was unusually bright.

‘In my previous life, I failed the trial of the dead. So now, the thing I need to do is start selecting my martial arts teacher. And I have a test to conduct too.’

The greatest advantage of the Roberto family: wealth.

Now was the time to flaunt it to the fullest.

The return of the talent monopolizer was truly exceptional.
