10 p.m. local time.
After completing the 4-hour verification of the Shinan, I was driving back to the lodging in a car driven by Kim Kang-in.
“It’s not necessary for the Mage Tower lord to take you personally… … .”
Kim Kang-in is working hard in the driver’s seat, and I hesitate in the passenger seat.
The fact that a tycoon named Kim Kang-in was escorting me to the point of driving himself was quite burdensome.
“haha. You don’t have to be too burdened. I am doing this because I want to take you there.”
Kim Kang-in had a refreshing smile that was no different from his trademark.
You seem to be in a better mood today.
“Rather than that, how is your body? After the game, you won’t be able to rest properly, and you will be very tired from getting tested.”
“it’s okay.”
Right after the territorial battle ended.
I went straight to the three tower lords and told them about my god. After listening to what I said, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but they demanded verification, saying that this is not a problem that can be solved with words.
I readily accepted the verification.
“Hmm. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a good face.”
“hmm. To be honest, I am tired. But you have to endure it. It’s a hundred times better than being a criminal.”
Unless I can prove that my eyes have the same power as Sophia Anechevri’s Jewel Eyes, I become an international criminal in violation of the International Sorcery Act.
To prevent this, I had to prove that my eyes were real as soon as possible.
“The blue mage tower lord must have been more tired than me. I am sorry for what I did.”
In order to determine the authenticity of my divine eye, I had to check if my eyes could read the real magic formula.
To this end, Kim Kang-in had to continuously develop a complex magic formula.
After repeating the tiresome and exhausting work for four hours, Kim Kang-in must have been very tired.
In such a state, he is even driving to take me there, so how can I not notice him?
“haha. That means you don’t have to worry about it. Rather than being tired, it was fun.”
Kangin Kim turned the steering wheel to the left. My body tilted to the right according to the law of inertia.
“Thanks for the nice viewing.”
As I ran all the way down the highway without a single car, Kangin Kim glanced at me.
His eyes were clearly piercing my eyes, God’s eyes.
The corners of his mouth, which smiled faintly, showed his delightful examination. My new eyes are still exciting.
“Oh, and thanks again. Thanks to the blue mage lord’s intervention, things went smoothly.”
From the point of view of the red and green tower lords, I was no different from a scoundrel who recklessly used their prized arcane magic.
Of course, the eyes looking at me were not good, and it actually became a threatening atmosphere.
If Kang-in Kim had not intervened there, it would have been exhausting in many ways.
In the worst case, they could become enemies with the two magic towers.
“As for mediation, all I said was that if you were going to push it like that, you should do it after figuring out whether Ha Yul-gun’s demonic eye is real or fake.”
“Because that one word was important.”
That one word was great.
Through the three tower masters, I proved that my divine eye was real, the possibility of becoming a criminal disappeared, and I no longer had to fight with the two towers.
And in the future, I can use my new design without hesitation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one word from Kim Kang-in created the best situation right now.
“I don’t think I did anything, but if you really appreciate it… … .”
The corners of Kim Kang-in’s mouth tilted playfully.
“In return, you could explain how the wind god and superheat hell were successfully fused.”
The only thing I revealed this time is that my demonic eyes can read 100% of the target’s magic formula.
He didn’t properly explain why he was able to focus Halo on one point, such as the fusion of Superheat Hell and Wind God.
‘No, I did explain. Although I said it in a vague way.’
The above actions are the use of transformation magic.
I do not intend to elaborate on this.
I mean.
No one questioned or disputed this answer.
It means that you can read the magic formula with the divine eye, it was a situation where I had to disclose it even if I told you not to disclose it so as not to become a criminal, but it was not a change magic.
There is no reason to disclose the secret of the change magic anywhere.
The red and green tower lords were also curious about my firm answer, but they gave up asking about my magic as if they couldn’t help it.
Free magic was my monopoly before, and I thought that my change magic could also affect arcane magic, and I ended it.
but only one.
I didn’t understand it as much as Kim Kang-in.
“ah. Don’t even say that you’re using transformation magic. I’ve known for a long time that it was a fake.”
Kim Kang-in is convinced that my transformation magic is false.
As I continued to observe, examine, and examine my magic, I was convinced that the alteration magic was false.
That’s why Kim Kang-in was not convinced by my answer.
No, I wouldn’t have been able to understand it.
Knowing that there is no such thing as change magic, the doubts must have grown even more.
“… … .”
I was silent.
It was silence that meant no answer.
“Of course, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. As I’ve said many times, wizards have the right to keep their secrets.”
Kim Kang-in took his eyes off me and faced the front.
He seemed to be concentrating a little more on driving as he exited the highway and turned onto an incline.
“I will find out for myself.”
Then, with her eyes shining, she finally said this.
“Thanks to this, I think I know a little bit about it.”
A quiet night road.
Because it is a limousine equipped with a state-of-the-art magic engine, you cannot even hear the sound of the engine inside the car.
Inside, Kangin Kim smiled and looked at me.
“So, I will look forward to the rest of the game.”
It was the smile of a wizard shining with an inquisitive spirit.
* * *
It was not until 12:00 at night that we arrived at the accommodation.
“Then see you later. Rest well.”
“yes. Please enter carefully, Master of the Magic Tower.”
Kim Kang-in’s limousine moved away at high speed.
Under the quiet night sky, I became alone.
“Haam.”
I was suddenly exhausted from being alone. I realized that I certainly did overdo it today.
I have to go back to my room and wear Master’s robe to relieve my fatigue.
With that thought in mind, I moved towards the house.
The house was dark.
Everyone will be asleep because time is time.
I didn’t feel sad or sad because there was no pick-up. My colleagues who said they would wait in the first place asked me to sleep because it’s okay.
There is a game tomorrow as well, but if you wait for me for no reason and have a problem with your condition, that will be more difficult.
“Whoa.”
The walk to the accommodation.
Whether it’s because there is no other light source, the moonlight stands out more depending on the day. I slowly raised my head to the sky.
It is full moon.
so it was bright
As I looked up at the sky and trudged along, I suddenly had this thought.
‘Shin Ha-yul, who was a defective product, has come all the way here.’
That’s what I thought, but it was such a crazy idea.
Could it be that he became somewhat emotional due to fatigue?
Probably so.
If you keep thinking that you have new feelings or that you feel strange.
‘The best prospect in Korea.’
On the way, I saw my article on Korea’s largest portal site.
An article full of compliments about me.
It was so full of compliments that I was ashamed of myself.
So were the comments.
There were only favorable comments.
‘defective. nonconformist. straggler.’
It was definitely called that until three months ago.
Everyone is cheering me on now.
It strangely tickled my chest.
It was an indescribably strange feeling.
How can I express my feelings right now? I do not know.
With that thought in mind, I kept looking up at the moon in the night sky.
You don’t even notice the time passing.
How much time had passed like that?
“young master. Even though it is spring, the night air is still chilly. Please go in.”
The fog rolled behind me and formed a human shape.
“Uncle Seokhyun.”
Seokhyun Kim.
The head of the shadows who were entrusted with escorting me in this Olympiad.
he showed up
“There is Gyeonggi-do tomorrow. You should go in and get some rest.”
“yes. I have to go in.”
After answering that, I looked up at the sky again.
It is a strangely sentimental night.
To the point where I want to stay like this for an hour or so.
“Looks like you’re excited for some reason.”
“Do you see that?”
“yes. It looks that way.”
excited be excited
“… … hmm. I guess so.”
Now I’m in a mood floating. He is excited enough to compare to the day he obtained the Book of Idred.
“however… … Why am I so excited?”
But I couldn’t figure out why.
“Why excited… … You mean?”
Kim Seok-hyun asked again with an absurd expression, as if that was a random question.
“yes. I did feel like something was off. I myself do not know why.”
“hmm.”
Kim Seok-hyun looked at me with a strange expression. You seem to have as many thoughts as I do.
“You don’t have to think too hard, do you? The public as well as the family members. Everyone is praising Master Ha Yul. I think it’s an exciting situation.”
“evaluation… … .”
public evaluation.
family evaluation.
Am I feeling joy that the bad evaluation that was directed at me has been overturned?
i asked me
The answer came quickly.
“no. That’s definitely not it. I don’t have high expectations for the public’s evaluation.”
“… … ah.”
The reason why I’m excited is not because the evaluation is reversed.
In the first place, the public’s evaluation is like a reed.
Having been beaten by the public, I know that fact better than anyone.
That’s why there is no great inspiration in the evaluation of the public.
Evaluation within the family… … I feel a little better.
I can’t even explain the excitement I’m feeling right now.
“Then, wouldn’t it be because the Olympiad gold medal is right around the corner?”
By winning the territorial battle this time, Korea occupied a very advantageous position.
It is not yet certain that they will win because the remaining games cannot be resolved simply by force, but Korea is the closest to a gold medal.
Does this fact excite me?
“That’s certainly nice, but… … .”
I tried to answer that question as well, but soon came to the conclusion that it was not.
I’m happy, but not enough to break my heart.
“hmm. I don’t think this is the reason either.”
Kim Seok-hyun was lost in thought for a moment.
I don’t know what he’s thinking, but he looks happy.
“then… … .”
about 10 seconds like that.
“ah.”
As if something came to mind, Kim Seok-hyun let out a short exclamation.
“dream. Maybe it’s because you’re one step closer to your dream.”
“A dream?”
“yes.”
Kim Seok-hyun stared straight into my eyes with brilliantly shining eyes.
“Childhood. A dream that Master Ha-yul lived with as a habit. To the dream of becoming the world’s greatest wizard.”
It’s as if they’re happy, missing, or proud of me when they think of me as a child.
It was such a look.
I turned my eyes to the sky again.
“… … dream.”
The sky is bright.
That bright moon is softly illuminating this dark world.
“I guess so.”
maybe even my heart.
* * *
morning that day.
I was concentrating on weaving a mini-infinity circle from Mimir’s Book.
A small Infinity Circle similar to the Ring of Interference, but a different sibling.
The third and final part of the chain of truth.
Only when you complete this can you enter the training to weave the ring of truth, the next step.
So I’m immersed in this work every night… … .
“Ah, failed again.”
It’s not that easy.
The first two small infinity circles were fairly easy.
Third is the problem.
“I’m afraid someone isn’t a member of the ring of interference. really.”
It is very much the same as difficult.
It feels like a flashback to the hardships we had to weave the 3rd circle in the past.
“Sorry. I thought I was almost done this time.”
said Mimir, sitting on the sofa, looking down at me sitting on the floor with my legs crossed and my chin still.
“I know. I thought I was almost done.”
I lay on my back and stretched out on the floor.
I have a headache.
Having to squeeze all the energy into weaving a small infinity circle, the feeling of exhaustion is no joke.
“What are you going to do? Are you going to take a break and try one more time?”
“hmm. The desire to do so is like a chimney, but it is unreasonable to try one more time given the time.”
“hour? ah. It’s half past five already.”
The current time is 5:30 in the morning.
After an hour and a half, we have to head to the stadium.
After recovering your mental strength and what to do, there is no time for more training.
It’s a pity, but I’ll have to promise tomorrow.
I licked my lips in regret and got up from my seat.
Then, he walked straight to the exit door.
“Whoa. Then Mimir. I’ll go first.”
“Are you leaving earlier than usual?”
“uh. My father asked me to talk early this morning. You have to prepare soon.”
“This early in the morning? what brings you here?”
“I don’t know. He just said he had something important to say.”
I don’t know what you’re coming for either. I’m guessing you’re trying to talk roughly about my god.
“Anyway, I will go. See you later.”
“uh. See you later.”
I greeted Mimir and headed out of Mimir’s book.
After finishing all the preparations for 30 minutes, I headed to the room where my father was waiting.
“I am here.”
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
When I entered the room and immediately sat down, my father said this without hesitation.
“30 minutes from now. We plan to send out a batch of official notices that we will appoint you as the next head of household.”
“… … yes?”
My head went blank for a moment at the completely unexpected words.
