Episode 162. A Lover’s Tale
Seoul Hero Academy, Magic Private Lab. late night.
widely.
A cup of coffee falls roughly on his desk.
Either way, the magician’s gaze was fixed on the Wizard magazine that came out today.
“Why did you just let it go?”
Annabelle covers the cup with her translucent hand to prevent the Magus from reaching for the cup handle without answering.
“What do you mean?”
Magad casually pierced through the partial substantiation magic that she had researched for three years and took the cup in her hand.
Hum.
“Hey, the principal.”
“A river? Why is Kang?”
“There are a lot of rumors that he has gone to another dimension. See, there was an article in the magazine you are looking at. ‘A human being who makes a riot in another dimension. Should we still maintain Earth quarantine?’ That’s our academy principal.”
After Nam Man-hyuk revealed the existence of another dimension to the entire planet through Riga, the famous horse towers entered the race to see who officially opens the portal first.
For your reference, most of the news in other dimensions in the magazine is based on advertisements that Rocca sent through Riga.
Even phrases like that article are actually from an advertisement for a mole repellent product.
“bar… , Well. Anna.”
“Yes, Professor.”
“I will tell you a secret that no one knows about me. To the grave, no. Excuse me for you. Be sure to keep the secret even if you are successful.”
Annabelle, who was awkward with such a serious look, nodded her head involuntarily because she was a magician who enjoyed jokes in everything.
Then, a thin thread of mana flowed from the two of them and got tangled.
“It’s an oath, so it will be enforced. Now, I’m actually… .”
gulp.
“actually?”
“I am not an adult.”
“Yes?”
“The world-given saint, the title of Grand Wizard is a lie.”
“under.”
Annabelle muttered to herself, ‘I’ve been deceived again,’ and didn’t care.
“I am not as benevolent as everyone thinks I am, nor am I a good man who gives unconditional kindness.”
‘Ugh?’
Annabelle swallowed a sigh, not a sigh, looking at the threads of mana spewing out from the magician.
Druck.
The magician opened the drawer and took out the book of his friend and swept it with the palm of his hand.
[A book written with the hope that it will be helpful to aspiring students of the Necro School]
“Is that, Dead Red Skull?”
“47 years ago, it was today.”
The memories of that time came vividly to the mind of the magician, and he fell into remorse for a moment, but he quickly regained his original face.
“You couldn’t forgive me. I should have saved her somehow.”
“She? As far as I know, Dead Red Skull is a man… . Oh, maybe?”
“Yeah, she and I promised a future.”
Annabelle was deeply regretting having made the oath of secrecy at this moment.
“You seem to have hidden your identity.”
The mana of the Magus, who was shaking wildly like scratching, turns into a willow tree rustling in the spring breeze at Annabelle’s words.
“Chuckle, back then, female wizards were not treated well. Wasn’t he even a necro school that dealt with corpses? So I changed my appearance with my magic.”
“Aha.”
Now, when the heavy atmosphere is released and Annabelle is relieved.
“So that’s what I thought when she died. Shall we destroy the earth?”
“yes?”
“Are we going to dry up humanity? How do I get rid of these damn cockroach-like seeds?”
“I, I didn’t hear—”
“After much deliberation, I have come to a conclusion. It cannot be killed so easily, after showing all hope and a bright future!”
Clap!
A magician who throws a cup on the floor and breaks it.
“Then let’s kill it. That is the path for Violet, who sacrificed a brighter future than anyone else.”
overwhelming presence.
Since the magus never let his mana out of the lab, the enormous amount of mana that flowed out of his emotions gathered and overturned the gravity of this space.
Giggig geek, bang.
Desk and picture frame, door, wall, refrigerator. Everything is drawn towards the magus, and when he regains control of his mana, it returns to its place as if nothing had happened.
Annabelle was afraid, but cautiously opened her mouth, thinking that the future of mankind might be at stake in what she said in the future.
“What does that have to do with the principal?”
Pretending not to be overwhelmed. While acting as Taeyeon Ja-yak, I looked down on Magic as if pathetic.
‘If it’s a turbulent atmosphere, respond by reversing the opponent’s prediction once. Then, the animal cages that spit and fly with this sleazy chupa will also be quite fun.’
In the past, when Annabelle had a Christmas party in the dormitory, Nam Man-hyuk approached him and threw it at him, who was alone.
“Cheap, that’s right.”
Annabelle was relieved to see the Magus leaning back on the chair with a smile, and Annabelle continued.
“I didn’t mean to tell you this. I will tell you Kim, who made a secret vow. I saw that the principal came to visit you.”
“Oh, I saw something difficult.”
A magician who gets his body up from his seat. As Annabelle stepped back, startled by this, the magician opened her eyes wide.
“If you do, don’t I look like a bad person?”
“it. It’s the third most common comment a high-ranking villain makes when harassing the public.”
“Heh heh, I can’t keep up with the stories of children these days. All right, I’ll make the coffee, so you sit down.”
“Since it’s a ghost, there’s nothing else to sit on.”
Still, Annabelle sits down and calms her surprised feelings.
Magic didn’t say anything during the ride.
After the coffee that smells good and about half-drinking it had elapsed, the Magus smiled self-deprecatingly and spoke.
“My 40-year plan was ruined by the adoption of the disciples.”
After building a positive reputation and becoming an irreplaceable being, to become a villain who drives the world to destruction at the last moment was the revenge of the Magad that day 40 years ago, dreaming of revenge for Violet.
However, this plan did not come true even before Nam Man-hyuk returned. His adult life, which he has been acting for many years, has become deeply rooted in his heart without knowing it.
In any case, the Magus from the outside remained a saint until he was buried in the Central Magic Association after casting his vote to the world.
“It’s Man-hyuk.”
“Yes.”
If it was a regular magician, he would have added that Antonio Goldenwood was also a disciple, but now that he made a secret oath, he was showing his true feelings to Annabelle.
“I still don’t understand. The principal helped me go to another dimension. If it was for Manhyuk, you should have stopped him.”
“He is a necessary evil. I don’t seem to understand, so please explain in detail. If Kang simply describes him, he can be called a fighting maniac. Or, do you know what traits he possesses?”
“no.”
When it became like a lecture, the magician, who smiled happily at Annabelle acting like a disciple who listens well, wrote two characters in the air with mana.
[craving]
“At first, it was an insignificant trait that made me faithful to my instincts. But the moment of reawakening while overcoming some kind of crisis.”
[craving]
[1: Food]
[2: money]
[3: Traits]
“It has changed. The first two were at the level of desire that an ordinary human would radiate, but the third was a problem.”
“Are you stealing traits?”
“right. Make the target in coin form and absorb it. Recently, the skill level has reached the extreme to be able to turn the coin back into a human.”
“It was too dangerous, so you sent it away.”
“There are things like that, but this is the real thing.”
[Singularity]
[Dimensional Isolation]
“Our civilization has already passed the singularity. Being able to quantify mentality is like saying that the mystery of quantum entanglement will soon be unlocked. At that moment, the civilization level will reach a certain threshold, and the protective device called dimensional containment will disappear.”
“You seem to be concerned about the top species from Summon & Cave.”
“There is such a thing as a lion idiom. One thing at a time.”
“You take two gains with one number. … You mean sending dangerous creatures to more dangerous places to deal with?”
“That’s it. It doesn’t matter if Kang is stronger than he is now. That will raise the status of the earth where the disciple will live.”
“What if the principal absorbs the traits of another dimension and returns?”
“Heh heh, that won’t happen. He will never come back to this earth without his opponent.”
“If you are strong, you have a professor.”
“Am I not a non-Awakened person? Its cravings only respond to the Awoken.”
“ah.”
“Are all your questions answered now?”
“Well, one last thing.”
“Say it.”
“I heard that the undead wave was caused by the principal’s heart riot. So, isn’t the enemy the principal, not the human race?”
After not speaking for a moment, the magician let out a long sigh, not sure whether it was a sigh or a wailing.
“Kangi is Violet’s half-brother.”
really. Annabelle wanted to slap her on the snout.
‘Oh, don’t ask. I didn’t make a secret oath in the first place!’
“And in her last message to me, I asked her not to blame Kang. … I did my best to keep your will.”
Annabelle couldn’t say anything at the sight of the Magus, who murmured as if blaming someone who wasn’t here.
match!
Suddenly, when the magicians applaud, the mana threads that were tangled between the two of them were untied and returned to their hearts.
“The secret story between the two of us is now over.”
“Yep. professor.”
“Now, based on this story, prepare the material for the next lecture.”
“yes?”
“The Singularity and Containment Dimension.”
“Oh, yes. I’ll take a tour of the tower and find out how far the portal project has progressed.”
The stealth magic that the Magad used when sending the principal on a dimensional train was enough to deceive the system made by the higher servants, so hiding a ghost like Annabelle was nothing.
“I know.”
At the sight of Annabel running away so quickly that the wind could hear the wind, the magician laughed mischievously.
“I’m sorry, Violet. Making fun of you for not remembering anything. It’s my only pleasure right now.”
Cool.
Dead Red Skull. As the pinnacle of the Necro School, she was also an awakening of the realm of realities.
At the last moment when even mana was depleted, he cast a ghostly spell on himself with only realization power, but lost his memory and intellect because he was contaminated with mana from the heart and was rescued by Priscilla Rudra.
This was the real reason why Magic didn’t move at the academy, unknown to anyone.

January 2059. A man’s arm was amputated at the factory of a nationally famous bread brand.
“Cover.”
A young man in a suit with his hair turned back throws a report onto the desk and orders, and the man in work clothes in front of him shrugs.
“Master, this time, there are too many witnesses, so it is not easy to crack down on them.”
“Should the company call you Director?”
“… Yes, Mr. Kang.”
“It’s handled like that. Seriously, did you hear that a bright newcomer came in this time?”
“I have a friend who took first place in the comprehensive test.”
“What is your father?”
“The president is not interested.”
“Okay. Tell that friend to come up.”
“All right.”
The man in work clothes who contacted the secretary’s office and delivered the order to send in a new employee was still waiting, and Director Kang looked at him as if he was doing something.
“Aren’t you going?”
“I would like to introduce myself as it is under my direct control.”
“Not now. Are you smart? I will write.”
Most of the people who had been highly rated so far were called by Director Kang, and in nine out of ten and a half years, they left the company as dead eyes.
“… … .”
“What are you looking at like that?”
“no. I will go.”
click.
As soon as the man in work clothes opened the door, a neat-looking man who was waiting in front of him came in.
“Uh, here—”
“hello! This is SPP 51st class Kim Seok-go!”
Nam Man-hyeok, a newcomer to hunting for a black company, under the name of Kim Seok-go, openly ignored the move and bowed 90 degrees to the man in work clothes.
“No, I moved… .”
“Yeah, I have to say hello to this guy first.”
“Aren’t you, CEO Choi Pil-seok?”
“that… Is that so?”
“ah! I heard a lot. He said that he paid the hospital bills of an employee who was kicked out without even receiving treatment because his superiors inquired about the whole case.”
“Um, let’s talk about that separately.”
“All right. So, who is that?”
