‘First of all, it’s not something I can give you a definite answer right now. We will actively review it and get back to you.’
Kim Kang-in said that at the end.
actively review.
Depending on a person’s personality, that word, which could be considered a roundabout refusal, meant that Kim Kang-in would listen to the request 99% of the time, not a roundabout refusal.
Since there are still a few things that I am curious about, I will personally investigate him and answer all the remaining 1% questions before accepting the proposal.
Roughly this means
If you can’t answer 1% of the questions, there is a possibility of rejection. But in this case, that’s not the case.
It is a fact that the Black Mage Tower intervened, but is there anything suspicious about it? The more Kim Kang-in conducts a separate investigation, the more the credibility of my words will only increase.
I am sure that a positive response will come as early as tomorrow.
‘Anyway, with this, safety at the time of the Olympiad was secured to some extent.’
As long as I succeeded in signing up for Kim Kang-in’s life insurance, my risk was greatly reduced.
Of course, it means that it has been drastically reduced, but it does not mean that the risk has been completely excluded.
‘As long as Shin Ji-han moves this far, and the Black Magic Tower moves so drastically. Kim Kang-in alone is not enough.’
No matter how great Kim Kang-in is, the opponent is the black magic tower.
To be honest, I’m a bit uneasy with only one Kim Kang-in, considering their new and rare tricks.
‘I need to get at least one more insurance like Kangin Kim.’
And speaking of Kim Kang-in’s level of insurance, there is only one person around me.
I picked up the phone and called right away.
-What’s going on?
“father.”
my father.
Inhyuk Shin. Korea’s best power that makes a double wall with Kim Kang-in.
“I have something to tell you.”
-Is it important?
“yes.”
I plan to pass on to my father exactly what I said to Kim Kang-in.
‘Before, at the time of the Leng Smith incident, I still lacked trust, so I couldn’t tell the truth… … .’
It’s different now.
Circumstances are circumstance, and my father would not dismiss my words as nonsense.
“It’s a very important word that could decide the fate of a magician. I hope you will give me some time.”
-It’s good luck… … .
Over the receiver, my father’s sharp exclamation flowed.
-Come home right now.
“yes. All right.”
I headed straight home.
* * *
Arriving at the mansion, the road to my father’s study.
I encountered an unexpected person in the garden.
“Ha Yul-ah.”
“… … older brother.”
Shin Ji-han.
He smiled and approached me.
“Is it really hard to see your face these days?”
“It’s not that my face is hard to see, it’s that my older brother’s face is hard to see. Are you busy… … .”
“haha. Come to think of it, it is.”
Shin Ji-han responded with a kind smile.
“Shin Ji-han. There is not much time left until the next schedule. You need to move right away.”
“I know. It will be over soon, don’t worry.”
Shin Ji-han smiled at the secretary again, as if telling her not to worry.
“I keep in touch from time to time. tell me if you need anything What’s good for you brother?”
Shin Ji-han tapped me on the shoulder a couple of times.
It’s a gesture that looks quite caring, but the power contained in that fingertip accurately reflects his judgment.
You must be thinking that you want to tear me to pieces with your hands right now.
“yes. Next time, I will visit the affiliate that my brother is in charge of.”
“okay. Be sure to contact me when you come. If you come suddenly, I might not be there.”
“I will be sure to contact you.”
Shin Ji-han and I looked at each other and smiled.
“I heard about Baengnyeong Island. I should have contacted you first. Sorry.”
“no. It’s when you’re busy. I understand.”
After that, nonsensical chatter ensued.
We completely hid each other’s feelings and acted as close brothers.
“haha. Since the two brothers are so friendly, the future of the Madosing family is truly bright.”
“sure. Perhaps Shin Ji-han-nim’s Shinji family will spread out into the world.”
A family of magicians led by Shin Ji-han.
At those words, Shin Ji-han’s forehead trembled very slightly.
It must have been an uncomfortable word in many ways to Shin Ji-han, who had a lot of worries about the next head of household.
“haha. Is there a law that I must lead? Our Hayul, who is a hot potato these days, could lead the next generation of Madosinga.”
It was a statement that did not contain even 0.001% of sincerity.
The garbage that even requested the black magic tower for fear of losing my position as the next head of the magic god, what? Can I join the Madoshinga?
Puck would think so.
“no way. How can I sit in the seat of the next head of household when I have an older brother?”
I swallowed those thoughts and acted out the expression of a kind younger brother who thinks of his older brother.
“I hear from time to time in the family these days that I have to take over as the next head of the household. Don’t bother too much. older brother.”
At the same time, Meg gave me a horse as a gift. It may sound considerate to other people around you, but it will only sound sarcastic to the present Shin Ji-han.
“… … .”
Sure enough, Shin Ji-han’s smile deepened.
Rather than my smile getting thicker, should I say that my life has gotten thicker?
It was an intangible murder that I could feel because I was at an age that knew the true identity of Shin Ji-han.
“haha. what are the nerves rather happy I have a younger brother who will firmly support me.”
“sure. As I grow older, I will firmly support my older brother.”
In a warm atmosphere, Shin Ji-han and I laughed while hiding our true feelings from each other. However, Shin Ji-han’s smile was much darker than when they first met.
‘Shin Ji-han hides negative emotions such as anger or irritation and has a characteristic of deepening his smile when acting on facial expressions.’
Shin Ji-han’s anger reached a critical point.
I like it very much.
I laughed inwardly too.
Of course, like Shin Ji-han, he didn’t show off his facial expression.
“okay. I hear that your goal is to win a gold medal at the Olympiad this time?”
“yes. Shouldn’t you be able to fight with all your might? If I win the gold medal, it will be a great help to the magicians.”
More than being a strength to the magicians, it would be a strength to me.
“okay. Since you are capable, you will definitely be able to win. I’ll look forward to it.”
“yes. Thanks to her big brother’s support, she feels like she can really win.”
“Hmm. okay?”
What did you feel from my words?
What did you think?
A smile flowed from Shin Ji-han’s eyes. I think you’re thinking about something bad.
“Ah, this time has already come like this. It’s a pity, but I’ll just go. See you again.”
Shin Ji-han smiled regretfully as he checked his watch.
I don’t regret it at all, but the facial expressions are really excellent.
“That’s too bad.”
Well, I’m also saddened to be second in terms of acting.
I also smiled bitterly with an expression of regret for the world.
“I hope to see you in a nice place next time.”
Like in prison, for example. I swallowed the last words in my heart and smiled even more regretfully.
“… … okay. You will definitely see it in a good place.”
Shin Ji-han laughed.
It was strangely different from his usual laugh.
It was a smile that gave off a strange feeling.
Soon I turned around and looked at Shin Ji-han, who was walking away, and I was convinced in my heart again.
‘As expected, Shin Ji-han is planning to do something by targeting the timing of the Olympiad.’
that kind of confidence.
* * *
Three hours had passed since then.
Meanwhile, I talked a lot with my father.
Starting with the story of Leng Smith, the story of Baek Sa-hyeok. Lastly, let’s talk about Baengnyeong Island.
Just as he followed what he said to Kim Kang-in, he confessed the whole truth to his father.
The only thing I didn’t say was that ‘Shin Ji-han’ was behind this incident and that the magic I possessed was ‘Bytenor’.
Other than that, everything was left out.
And as a result, I succeeded in getting a positive answer.
‘From now until the end of the Olympiad, I will assign you the elite members of the shadows, including Seokhyun.’
He didn’t believe me or said anything like that.
However, the fact that he offered to assign Kim Seok-hyun to me was proof of his trust in my words.
My father believed me and decided to strengthen my protection.
‘With this, until the end of the Olympiad, the probability of danger to me has converged to 0% indefinitely.’
Following Kim Kang-in, my father also decided to take care of me.
Two of the best wizards in Korea are taking care of me.
Could it be more reassuring than this?
If you can break through their escort and harm me, do it.
‘I’ve done everything I can with this.’
The insurance cost as much as it cost.
All that remains is to win a gold medal at the Olympiad.
‘Winning a gold medal at the Olympiad. Create a force within the family in earnest, put pressure on Shin Ji-han, and then make him fall.’
This is the master plan right now.
‘If possible, it’s better if there is evidence that Shin Ji-han is colluding with the Black Magic Tower.’
It would be best for Shin Ji-han to make mistakes in this Olympiad. Once there is evidence, Shin Ji-han can be eliminated with certainty.
Of course, the odds of this happening are very small. However, if I continue to get good grades, I may leave evidence by overdoing my work out of impatience.
‘It’s important to win the Olympiad no matter what.’
Whether it’s to build my own power, or Shin Ji-han’s impatience to me.
Winning the Olympiad is a prerequisite.
‘Finally, training resumes from tomorrow. I’m going to go today and reorganize my training schedule and strategy.’
The remaining time is half an hour.
How much can you improve your skills in the meantime?
* * *
A week went by in an instant.
“Then, today’s training will end here. Now that there are only eight days left until the Olympiad, I will move on to a cool-down to adjust my condition in earnest from today.”
D-8.
There are only eight days left until the Olympiad is held.
“Something is troubling me.”
“I know.”
“me. Could it be that he has been trained by Ha Yul’s training style?”
“… … go away. You pervert.”
Laughter erupted from the surroundings at the seniors’ jokes.
“If you like my training style, will you continue to train with me after the Olympiad?”
“… … sorry. save me.”
“Ahaha!!”
Laughter grew louder among the seniors.
The atmosphere couldn’t be better.
“ah. I’m excited. How can we succeed in the world?”
“I don’t know if I’m actually winning a gold medal.”
Jin Hee-yoon and Jin-seok Ma said while catching their breath.
“Brother Jinseok. Believe me. I just want it to be Ha Yul.”
Soon-chan intervened between the two.
“There is also a secret weapon called me! Mmm ha ha!”
Sunchan smiled confidently.
After becoming the 4th circle, it often happens like that. Very confident soars to the sky.
“The secret weapon is not you, but our index. Right, Jisoo~?”
“Uh, sister… … . sweat. sweat… … .”
Jin Hee-yoon hugged Adela.
Adela was distressed.
Right after training, it would be very uncomfortable for each other to be drenched in sweat.
Ignoring Adela, Jin Hee-yoon hugged Adela with a worldly happy expression.
Anyone who sees them will think that they are real sisters who can’t live without dying.
“Good work.”
Kang Shin-woo threw a sports drink at me and said.
“Thank you for your effort.”
I lightly accepted the plastic bottle and answered.
“It turned out to be a pretty good team.”
Kang Shin-woo laughed as if he was having fun watching the scene where the 8 of them got together and cracked jokes.
“I can expect good grades.”
“yes.”
I was a little worried because the training schedule was blown away by a week because of the nuclear explosion in Baengnyeong Island, but those worries were put to shame and everyone succeeded in working together in an instant.
Is it because everyone bonded through the life-threatening incident of Baengnyeong Island’s nuclear explosion?
The breathing is so perfect that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are truly one body.
“Oh right. new leader! What time is the flight tomorrow? I heard that there is a problem and they are coordinating?”
Jin Hee-yoon asked me while still hugging Adela.
Adela whimpered with a look that seemed like she was going to die of frustration.
“ah. It’s not that there’s a problem. Because I was sponsored by a better plane. I was coordinating that schedule.”
“A better plane?”
“yes.”
I manipulated my phone and projected the email that had just arrived two hours ago onto a hologram screen and showed it to everyone.
“A special plane for the Blue Mage Tower. We will ride this and head to America tomorrow at 10:00.”
