After a very small disturbance called Trua’s running, the Round Academy sank quietly as if nothing had happened.

There are only two days left before the finals, and most of all, Kang Yoo-sik didn’t feel the need to make a big deal.

‘They must have removed all evidence……so it’s worthless to do it without evidence.’

The biggest goal that recruits Trua and secures mana sword Perceval parts has done.

There was no reason to go further, so Kang Yoo-sik neatly stepped down after receiving only the treatment fee, and the day before the finals came.

“Do you really have to go? Honestly, you don’t have to participate…….”

Ban Hye-young grumbled in the elevator, and Kang Yoo-sik smirked at the sight.

“But we’re almost there, so we have to see their faces.”

“Why would you say hello to a place where they will only condescend to win…….”

A light social gathering on the eve of the finals.

Although it is a good idea to see and talk to each other briefly before the competition, as Ban Hye-young said, it is actually just a cruel place where they show their confidence in winning each other.

For Ban Hye-young, she didn’t seem to want to take the injured patient to such a troublesome place, but Kang Yoo-sik had to go.

‘I have to participate if the place is like that.’

It can make a stronger impression in such a violent place, and it can also capture opportunities for debt relationships.

That’s why he persuaded Ban Hye-young, who didn’t want to send him.

“It will be good.
And, well, isn’t it better to be condescending over there?”

“What’s better?”

“I’ll win anyway, so it’ll be funny if I think about it when I’m down.”

“…….”

Ban Hye-young looked at Kang Yoo-sik’s story with a puzzled look, and soon smiled and tapped his shoulder.

“That’s great.”

“Looks like you like it, too.”

Kang Yoo-sik, who went out of the hotel with Ban Hye-young, who was slightly relieved, headed to the east of the main building of the Round Academy by a prepared car.

It is a huge tower with a more modest but mysterious atmosphere than the main building in the center.
A building called the Elf’s Tower was a place where facilities such as the auditorium and laboratory of Maze College gathered.

‘There’s a strange atmosphere here.’

The strange atmosphere surrounds the entire Elf’s tower.

It seems to be one of the magical features applied inside the Round Academy, given that it is often felt in both the main building and the lake.


Curious about what kind of magic it would be, Kang Yoo-sik looked up at the tower and moved, and by the time he reached the entrance, a mass of white light suddenly appeared.

[Hello! I’m your guide, Wisp-17.]

A mass of light talking lively.
Kang Yoo-sik asked in a curious voice when he saw it for the first time after the return.

“This is a spirit, isn’t it?

“Yes, that’s right.”

Spirits are composed of properties, unlike the beasts with a body.

Unlike ordinary beasts, it is difficult to sign a contract, and as a monster, it is difficult to deal with it without preparation for its properties, so all Hunters hate it.

‘But if you were a spirit, you’d have to have a bad personality…….’

There are differences between individuals, but they are not the ones who will be easy on their first-time encounter.
When Kang Yoo-sik made a curious look, Ban Hye-young added an explanation.

“It’s an artificial spirit being developed at Round Academy.
I heard they’ve made good-natured wisps so that anyone can signatures contract.”

“Oh, it was an artificial spirit.”

Spirits created artificially through magic, not by summons or dungeons.

Kang Yoo-sik, who recalled memories from Ban Hye-young’s explanation, went through memory maps one by one.

‘Oh, I’m sure that’s about the initial announcement.’

It was quite groundbreaking when it comes to artificial spirits, but instead of improving their personality, their performance was so poor that they didn’t get much attention at the time.

That’s why Kang Yoo-sik couldn’t think of it right away, as it only became known after performance improved.

‘That’s when the artificial spirit was revived…… Was it a German blacksmith?’

A spirit weapon that has been raised by directly attaching the insufficient performance of the artificial spirit to the weapon.
It was a huge sensation at the time, so he clearly remembered it.

‘Hm.
Come to think of it, I’d like to invest in it if possible.….’

It would be easy to be in the form of a company like a master that is invested so far, but it is a little tricky because it was developed by a man who only knocked on a hammer in the countryside.

Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to think later, folded his thoughts and followed the wisp to look around.

“It’s much wider than from outside.
This is space magic, right?”

“Yeah.
It’s Heinz’s specialty, so it’s used a lot here and there.”

Kang Yoo-sik looked around the inside, which looked at least two or three times as big, and arrived at the huge door in the meantime.

[This is the small auditorium where the social gathering takes place.
I hope you have a great time!]

Twinkle!

As it appeared, Wisp disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the two peeked at each other, opened the door, and entered the interior.

Musical instruments floating in the air and chandelier sprinkling subtle light.

The interior, where various dinners and drinks were prepared, was so splendid that it reminded him of the word palace ball.

‘Really… They are always excessive.’

How can a small social gathering be so fancy?

Kang Yoo-sik, who regretted slightly wearing a shabby robe to cover the wound, sighed inside and looked at the people.

About 60 people were sitting everywhere and talking, and guild figures showed signs of belonging.

“Chunil is the sun on the shoulders.
White Lotus is a lotus on the back.
Is Royal Knight a knife and shield on the left chest?’

Kang Yoo-sik, who quickly recognized each guild’s signature, looked at the pouring eyes toward them.

Attention is different from others.
There are quite a few eyes on Ban Hye-young, but she was practically focused on herself.

‘Sure, they have to look at her.’

Rumors have spread that a huge magic formula has emerged, described by Arc maze Ban Hye-young as ‘A new history of the magical world!’

It may be half-believable on the Internet, but those gathered here will not doubt what Ban Hye-young said.

“Uh…… This is why I didn’t want to come here…”

Ban Hye-young looked stressed by the pouring attention around her, and Kang Yoo-sik smirked at the sight.

“Let’s get in.
There’s a lot of delicious food.”

“……just in case, I’m your teacher.”

“Of course, I know.
Come on, you’ll get more attention if you keep standing.”

Kang Yoo-sik, who pushed Ban Hye-young’s back, naturally moved into the place and looked at the atmosphere around him.

‘She’s not coming right away.’

Everyone is paying attention, so they seem to be looking at each other.
When Kang Yoo-sik thinks that he should talk with Ban Hye-young before she comes.

“Hello, cadet Kang Yoo-sik.”

A woman strode to his side with a smile.

The eyes look drowsy and sharply slanted to the side.
She was a woman with a favorable but hostile, and strange atmosphere, and Kang Yoo-sik’s eyes wiggled at the sight.

‘Ahn Seol-ha.’

The leader of the first team of the Chunil Guild, and the current S-class Hunter Hellfire.

Kang Yoo-sik bowed his head calmly as a woman who had been tangled up in various ways before the return.

“Nice to meet you, Hellfire.”

“Please call me by name rather than the title.
It feels a little distant, right?

Kang Yoo-sik looked nervous when Ahn Seol-ha frowned in one eye after a few seconds of the face-to-face meeting.

“Yes…… I see.”

“Huhu.
Kang Yoo-sik seems to be a little shy.”

“Well, a little bit…….”

To be exact, Kang Yoo-sik is shy at her and he corrected his attitude.

He was uncomfortable with her before the return, but it’s his first time meeting her now.
It doesn’t need to dwell on what’s already gone.

‘It’s better to treat her casually.’

She’s a weird woman who likes something strange.

Recalling the fact again, Kang looked at her with a polite smile.

“I’m a little nervous because I’ve never been a place like this before.
A lot of people around me are looking at me…….”

“Oh, that’s definitely possible.
You are a very special person in here.”

Ahn Seol-ha, smiling, looked at Ban Hye-young, who was hiding behind Kang Yoo-sik.

“Right, Hye-young?”

“…….”

Ban Hye-young, who rolled her eyes, avoided her eyes by sipping a cocktail in her hand, and Ahn Seol-ha’s smile deepened.

Kang Yoo-sik coughed while they looked uncomfortable.

“Have you already met everyone else?”

“Yes, they’re great enough to be recruited.
I’ve met all of them, including Lee Hoe-kyung over there.”

“Ah.”

Kang Yoo-sik looked at the corner of the hall as if he had only been reminded of it.

Lee Hoe-kyung, a third-grader in the diamond class who entered the final with Kang Yoo-sik from Sungjin.
She was a woman of her own ability, but somehow her expression was quite thin.

‘Did anyone suck her energy?’

Kang Yoo-sik, who saw the teacher who came with her also tired, asked with a slightly questioning look.

“Why is Lee Hoe-kyung so tired?”

“It’s probably because she’s suffering by the Chunmu palace.
They’re a bit active.”

When Kang Yoo-sik was about to look for them by the words from Ahn Seol-ha who expressed that they are loud and rude.

“Long time no see!”

A loud voice echoing through the hall.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at the place where he heard the sound of the shout like a train.

An old man with a white beard and four others who quietly follow him.
He looked like a member of the Chunmu Palace in a uniform, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the old man standing in front of him.

‘The leader of Tae-heo, Tao Pei.’

He is the head of Tae-heo, who is in charge of magic at Cheonmu Palace, and has been registered as an S-class hunter for his many activities during his career.

When Kang Yoo-sik was slightly impressed by the fact that he is old but still energetic.

“Huh? You’re the boy that you said he’d win? Hahaha!”

From the beginning, he has been provoking by grabbing the collar.

“……Grandpa, can’t you shut up?”

When Ban Hye-young sighed and talked to Tao Pei who laughs loudly, he twisted his lips.

“I thought he was such a great guy to talk so confidently, but he’s just a kid! Your eyes are already gone bad!”

“Can’t your voice just shrink a little?”

“I’m born with this, so I can’t!”

Kang Yoo-sik’s expression changed subtly as Tao Pei answered loudly.

I just remembered him as a first-generation hunter with a lot of wealth and talent, but I didn’t expect him to be this annoying.

Now I understood why the leader of Tae-heo did not show up often in the media.

“It’s definitely irritating.”

“Right?”

When Kang Yoo-sik and Ahn Seol-ha were whispering.
Tao Pei turned his head again and strode closer.

Kang Yoo-sik is 180cm tall, but Tao Pei is big enough to be seen when he raises his head.
It was no match for the American muscle maze, the Cougar Halapino, but he was also tough.

“Hmmm, but she’s not the one who’s saying anything…… I can’t see anything good from him.”

Tao Pei looks at Kang Yoo-sik up and down and makes an undesirable expression.

Ban Hye-young tried to step up with an angry expression on her face, but Kang Yoo-sik reached out and restrained her.

“Who is the winning candidate of the Chunmu Palace?”

“Hmm?”

When asked by Kang Yoo-sik, Tao Pei made an interesting expression and pointed to one of the four people standing at the back who looked the shortest and youngest.

“Tao Ran, the top of Taeheo and my grandson.”

At the confident look of Tao Pei, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Taoran.

He definitely feels different just by looking.
He probably has a mana reserve and many other good skills.

‘But I’ve never heard of him…….’

Did he have an accident before the growth was over?

Kang Yoo-sik put aside his memory and looked at Tao Pei looking down at him again.

‘Does he count specs more than skills?’

Perhaps that’s why they set my values low, unlike others.

If he shows his skills, I can change my mind, but it’s a waste to use this opportunity simply.

Kang Yoo-sik, who made the decision, looked plainly disappointed.

“I thought it would be a little bit different because you said he’s the top of the class, but he’s quite below the level.”

“What….”

“How dare…!”

Kang Yoo-sik’s words hardened the atmosphere around him, and the face of Cheonmu Palace, except for Tao Ran, quickly became ugly.

When they looked as if they are about to rush and Kang Yoo-sik was relaxed and looked at them.

“Stop.”

Tao Pei reached out and stopped them.

“You have a lot of nerve.
But can you take responsibility for that?”

Tao Pei’s eyes glistening with a fierce smile.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at the figure with a smile.

“I’d like to ask you the same question.
Can you be responsible for my evaluation?”

“What if I can?”

“Well, then, there’s only one.”

Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Tao Pei’s answer.

“Would you like to take each other’s responsibility and compete?”
