Normally, he wouldn’t reveal his information in this way. But now things were different. The woman in front of him was a wizard who might be able to explain the secret of his reincarnation.
Of course, it was John’s wish.
Piralo didn’t even believe John’s words.
“Oh, so? Do you remember your entire life?! … Stop laughing and let go of this hand.”

No one can remember a past life. And she was the one who had to move as much as the money she received. The tantrum she had been suppressing burst out again.
“Because of you, I have to look at all the aptitudes of the kids I saw behind me. Fuck!”
Shaking off John’s hand, she slammed the door shut with a ‘bang’ and left. John quickly followed.
“I-I’m really sorry about that… . This is all I have to give you right now.”
John held out a pouch. It was the money I received from the smoker. Pirallo, who received the pouch, trembled his hand a little.
“Little boy.”
“yes.”
“Didn’t you hear that I told you not to deal with magic love carelessly?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
After attracting Adrine as an ally, you can forget about money worries anyway. It’ll be a bit later, though.
Piralo stared down the hallway.
There was no one in the hallway.
“And I have nothing more to say about my past life.”
“is that so… . Then, please listen to a few questions instead.”
Pirallo opened the pouch slightly. It wasn’t a small amount at all. she said with a grunt.
“Three questions.”
“good.”
“… Then, tell me quickly.”
“All right. Do you know a wizard named Kirov?”
“Kirov… ? That tangled baby? ”
“… That’s a fresh expression.”
“Why about Kirov? … no, wait. If you say you don’t know, will you take this money back?”
John shook his head.
“I won’t take it, so tell me what you know. What magic does he use? I read some of the magic books he wrote, but… It didn’t say what kind of magic he actually uses.”
Pirallo wondered if he could say such a thing.
The money bag Yohan held out was quite heavy, but giving information about the wizard was a bit clumsy.
After a while, she reached a compromise.
“water.”
“Is that sweet?”
“Well. The interested seed uses magic related to water. If you want to know more details, this money is not worth it. Find him and ask him directly.”
“why?”
“Etiquette among wizards.”
John nodded.
‘It’s like loyalty between people in the same industry.’
It was sad at the same time. Kirov, who is also the chief jailer, knows that he deals with magic with liquid. What I did in case was about his other magic that would be randomly assigned. The reason Kirov can be a mid-boss in this game is because she is a mage with two magic aptitudes at the same time.
‘Does it notify me if I increase my liking?’
Pirallo’s mouth was tightly closed, and there was an atmosphere of refusing to explain in detail. John was sorry, but he asked the next question.
“Then the second question. Ong, who said he slapped me on the cheek earlier… Is that a person’s name?”
“Ong, don’t you know? He’s famous… .”
Piralo said with a slightly darkened expression.
“Ong is the one who was my teacher. You said you were looking for the light and left.”
Same here.
‘I will leave to find the light.’
These were the last words of Ong, who created the clock tower.
“Look for the light… . It must have been a very poetic farewell.”
“Well? Does it sound poetic? … Well anyway, why Ong?”
“… Even if you get slapped on the cheek, you have to know who it is from and get slapped.”
“Oh, that’s just something I’ve done, so don’t worry about it.”
Piralo laughed bitterly.
‘Even if I’m right, I’m sure.’
And she would rather have been slapped on the cheek. It would be very fortunate if the price of revealing fate would end with a single cheek.
“That Ong person… .”
“Ahh. Because he is also my teacher. I will pass on detailed explanations.”
“Isn’t the answer too harsh? The gold coins you gave me must be quite a lot.”
“You stole my card and now you’re holding me back. I will consider this gold coin the price of your life.”
John gave up asking questions about the wizard.
“the last question. You said something about an inevitable fate earlier, but what did it mean that I chose you?”
“Ahh… , I said it in a frightening way, saying something like a disaster… But don’t worry, the one you picked isn’t from the bad luck series. You know you’re lucky.”
“Is it taboo to tell you what it means? Since it’s about me, I don’t think it has anything to do with etiquette.”
Piralo laughed bitterly.

Now, this situation is taboo. However, the taboo focus was slightly different.
She didn’t want her card stolen.
Unfortunately, the situation has already happened.
“What… It’s not taboo to tell… . Anyway, this is fate to meet. Wouldn’t it be better not to tell?”
“Why?”
“It’s more fun to meet without knowing. Tada, a surprise guest who shows up.”
“… A surprise gift is good, but it’s better to welcome guests with notice.”
“He’s a boring kid.”
Jiggle, jiggle-
Pirallo said, counting the money he received from John.
“Reunion.”
When the kid’s head tilted, Piralo misunderstood the kid’s vocabulary once again.
“Reunion means meeting again.”
John thought that the person in front of him was also an example.
“As if we met the wizard again like this?”
“Ah? Hey, you saw me for the first time today. I wouldn’t call a meeting like this a reunion.”
“Then who?”
“How do I know? I don’t know. It must be one of the people you know.”
“… I don’t have anyone to pick out.”
“What did you say. It must have been a while since you came to the academy. It could be everyone you met in your life before coming here.”
‘A reunion means… .’
John thought about the protagonist of ‘The Savior from Another World’. The main character, Johann Esperts, has an older brother who is 2 years older. In fact, the two will reunite at the academy, but it is still too early. That point is after the [year president election] is over.
“… Any other hints?”
Pirallo put the money he had counted back into his inside pocket. Then, among the cards he received from Yohan, he held up a card that corresponds to a flower and said.
“Your reunion will take place in a splendid place.”
“A gorgeous place?”
Then, he held up the card corresponding to the river and said.
“The moment itself is not in a tragic form. It’s not a scheme of salvation or hatred… . However, there is a bit of a confrontational composition… . But is this all useless? Anyway, this isn’t like a fortuneteller’s divination. It’s the fate the wizard hints at.”
“What is the difference between them?”
“From the moment you turn the card over and check it, there is no evasion or correction. So you don’t have to try to achieve it, and you don’t have to do anything to avoid it.”
… is it.
It was definitely different from the point. It’s similar in terms of foresight about the future, but there’s no advice like ‘if you want to avoid it, do this’.
“All right? then i’m going Unless you have another identical purse, don’t grab it.”
Piralo turned and walked away.
‘Is this the end?’
I thought the event of acquiring magical talent couldn’t be this simple. But right now, it was hard to think of a common denominator that would link her with himself. John hesitated, thinking of the gold coin he had given him.
“If I ate the magician’s card… .”
Piralo’s steps stopped.
Before long, her face, which he had never seen before, turned to John.
eyes wide open.
twisted mouth.
And a tooth that seemed to eat itself sitting in it.
John knew a similar expression.
long march.
There was such an expression in the blurry memory of the past.
The basement of the academy brothel.
The life of the prison warden who was hostile to Adrine.
A shivering chill rose with the smell of death.
The woman in front of me was no longer the one who used to watch tarot readings in front of students.
she said in a cold tone.
“Try to the end.”
I could see why this woman was friends with Kirov, the warden.
‘The personality is the same.’
John was a person who had experienced countless deaths. It was an experience through [simulation]. And there is a sense that is given only to those who have experienced death like that.
That feeling whispered to John.
‘If you say it wrong, you die’.
John quickly changed his tone.
“… I must have a stomachache, right?”
Regardless of John’s intentions, there was nothing resembling a smile on Piralo’s face.
Chow ah-
Pirallo cut the wall with a single card in his hand. At the place where the stone and the card met, sparks that seemed to come out when welding flew out.
A line of stab wounds was left on the wall of the hallway.
‘Hut-.’
It was a card made of paper that Yohan had already touched. However, the card held by the wizard scratched the wall as if it were a knife and cut it.
Piralo continued.
“Johann Esperts.”
“yes… .”
“Did you steal my card to do that in the first place?”
“yes? no… . I… Wizard… ? If my question was rude-”
“Don’t move.”
Papababat-
Countless cards popped out of her pockets. The cards that rose like a school of fish around Pirallo were pointing towards him.
“Did you see him scratching the wall? If you think your bones are harder than that wall, keep rambling.”
It was an embarrassing comparison.
Her ankle, kicked by Bastia, was still tingling.
“… I really brought it to share the word.”
“okay? Then how do you know about the magician’s eating succession law?”
“… It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”
Seeing her bloody expression, Yohan convincingly recited a lie.
It was fortunate that she didn’t sense a lie, but I didn’t like the progress of the event, which seemed to be catastrophic.
‘How did this happen?’
John wanted to be prepared for any eventuality. But Johann’s room was at the end of the hallway, and Piralo was blocking the hallway. I couldn’t jump down the stairs without passing her.
Beside her, cards floated like fish in a fishbowl. That card was a card that could draw on the walls of a building. And passing her meant passing between those densely raised cards.
‘I can’t see the numbers. Should I use [Simulation] again?’
Of course, his knife was left under the bed in his room. It would be nice to have something to throw at least, but it wasn’t easy. John’s hand moved toward the doorknob a few times, then away again.
“Whoa… .”
Pirallo calmed down a bit as he looked at the nervous John. The opponent was a child. When Yohan reached the point where he was worried, ‘Should I even shout?’, Piralo spoke in a slightly calmer tone.
“I have no intention of making disciples yet.”
Sr r r r r r r r r.
The cards that floated in the air went back into the pocket. Before long, she blew ‘whoo’ on the card in her hand. Small pieces of dirt that had been smeared on the card from scratching the wall flew away.
She sighed at the nervous John.
“I don’t know about upset stomachs, but one thing is for sure.”
Dugeuk- Dugeuk- Dugeuk-
Piralo walked down the hallway again.
“If you ate my card, you’re dead by my hand.”
