As soon as he saw him, Hyeonu Choi quickly and violently swung his sword.
“Don’t lose your strength. Right now, I’m just a haze… ?”
The dark blade of the sword cut Randshi’s neck with precision and cleanliness.
The corpse, cut in two, could not even wriggle, and it was toppling over.
Choi Hyun-woo tried to draw the sword without looking back, took a breath and turned around.
Rogers Nal, who was lying on the floor, was looking at Choi Hyun-woo, only moving his head.
“… To be honest, I was surprised.”
He seemed genuinely surprised.
“To grasp the source of the magic in that brief moment and break it apart. It’s something I can’t even dare to do with any skill. Are you saying that you acquired such a talent at such a young age?”
Randsch’s voice came out of his mouth.
His voice murmured as if he was admiring it all the time.
“In my nearly five hundred years of life, I have seen many swordsmen, but I swear this is the first time I have ever seen a person with talent and skills as good as you.”
He murmured in a soft voice.
“Even you like that, are you losing your light by being by the side of Yoo Ji-hyuk?”
Choi Hyun-woo did not answer. Because it wasn’t even worth answering. He spit out one after another as if he had not expected him from the beginning.
“Nam Hyun-hwa.”
At those words, Choi Hyun-woo’s body stood tall and stopped.
Randsch said with a grin, as if feeling his reaction.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
“… … .”
Choi Hyun-woo still didn’t say anything.
That alone was enough.
“I don’t understand why people like you stand by Yoo Ji-hyeok and lose all the light. I wanted to ask you about it.”
“… Did you bring up Master’s name to talk like that?”
Seeing him growl like a threatening beast, Randsch asked in a voice mixed with laughter.
“I wish I could give you an answer. Are you talking about righteousness and law?”

Once more he chuckled and laughed.
Randsch admitted that Choi Hyeon-woo was truly a genius for unearned money.
But he was also well aware that he was still a child.
The fact that age and experience was a problem that only the passage of time could solve.
It was nothing to him to captivate a child of his age and inexperience with his words.
“… … .”
Choi Hyun-woo quietly put the sword into the sheath and looked at him as if to tell him something.
Rogers Nal, who had just uttered unsavory remarks about Han Soo-young, lost consciousness in an instant.
Nam Hyeon-hwa’s name he uttered.
Neither of these was an issue that Choi Hyun-woo could take lightly.
“Really, you are wise.”
Randsch smiled so deeply that there could be no more.

“I prepared a lot more grandly than I thought.”
I poked my tongue out at the sight that looked no different from the old guild invitation.
No, it seemed more luxurious and bustling now.
At the time of the guild invitation, I thought it was because it was literally a festival to have fun while it felt like it was harder and more angled than it was to show it to the outside.
In fact, it may be because the festival was canceled and held instead, so it was said that all of the academy cadets took time to help prepare for the festival.
Maybe that’s why I was able to get the feeling that it was somehow bustling, exciting, and even flying around here and there. But it was making people’s hearts flutter even more for nothing. Even I was walking around the streets of the Academy, where preparations were still in full swing, to the point of looking around for a bit.
“Ouch.”
Then, thinking that I might be late for the appointment, I shook my head in an attempt to calm myself down. Then he hurried his steps and headed towards the main gate of the academy. It was because Yeeun Lee had contacted me many times to come to meet her.
Minerva rarely showed a sign of discomfort, saying that there was no need to accept any absurdity.
Sbengali uttered nonsense that still could not be understood, such as how about going out in order to get even bigger pieces.
The most surprising thing was Laune’s reaction.
“… … .”
He was in my pocket.
When I said that I should go out to meet Lee Ye-eun, for some reason, he stuck to me as if he had to take him too. His attitude was so strong that he had no choice but to put him in his pocket.
I put my hand in my pocket and fiddled with the two cases that were in it.
Each was a headdress made by the blacksmith of Yado, and a ring made by Evangeline Lohengrin.
It was handed over as it is, and I prepared something to hold it in moderation.
[Ugh, humans are crowded together like frog eggs.]
As he got closer to the front door, as he said, the crowd gradually started to gather and become crowded.
There were also various types of people gathered, such as outsiders related to the festival, workers, merchants, or spectators.
[It’s disgusting.]
Sbengali grumbled as if he was genuinely sick.
To be honest, it seemed that he was unaware of the simple fact that his appearance and voice were the most disgusting.
“But where are you?”

Obviously, I asked to meet at the side of the huge zelkova tree that I saw when I entered the front door, but I couldn’t find Lee Ye-eun anywhere.
“excuse me.”
Meanwhile, a woman came up to me and talked to me.
Wearing a hat and sunglasses, she looked at least in her mid to late twenties.
If I had to add more explanation, she was so beautiful that it made me cringe for a moment.
“Yes, what are you doing?”
“I’m sorry, but could you give me your contact information?”
“Yes?”
she said with a small smile.
I said, waving my hand slightly.
“… As you may not have known, it is against the rules to contact the academy in this way. If you make a mistake, you will be punished, so be careful in the future.”
She smiled a little at my answer.
“I didn’t mean to tell you that.”
She tilted her head slightly and still smiled.
“I’m working on him right now.”
“… … .”
For a moment, without realizing it, I moved my gaze as if to scan it.
Even though she was wary of me, she still had a relaxed smile.
I was trying to ignore it right away, but suddenly felt a sense of incongruity, and without realizing it, I met her eyes.
It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen it, but somehow it’s familiar.
Above all, I could feel a faint but familiar energy from her.
I wish I could, I muttered quietly.
“… Your lord?”
Then she chuckled and let out a small laugh.
As he lowered his sunglasses with his fingers, his golden eyes gleamed like deep amber.
“hhh.”
With a playful smile, she took off her hat and her green hair fluttered.
It was greener than the leaves of the zelkova trees swaying right above.
“I would have been mad if I didn’t keep recognizing it, but how did you get it right?”
Her fingertips swept her hair fluttering in the wind, she was so beautiful that she was surprised at the moment. In fact, most of the people around were looking at Yeeun Lee as if they were possessed by something.
“How is it, Mr. Seo-ryeong gave me a lot of strength? You really don’t know?”
Growing up, Ye-eun Lee smiled and moved her face as if asking me to take a closer look.
In fact, perhaps because of the makeup, her impression was far from what I remembered her. I was at a loss for words for a moment and asked her quietly.
“Evangeline’s medicine. Did you eat that?”
“yes. Because Jihyuk left you… .”
She glanced at me slightly, then licked her tongue and smiled.
“Are you mad?”
“I am not angry. But I know what the side effects will be… .”
“It’s a door. So Jihyuk, did you take such a dangerous thing and drink it?”
she asked me with tears in her eyes.
Unknowingly, I flinched at the sight.
“That’s what it means. then let’s go So let’s talk a little bit here.”
Having said that, I first walked forward as if guiding her.
Yeeun Lee immediately came to my side and walked side by side.
“Where are you going?”
“For now, I have something to talk about, and something to offer… I’ll contact Wooseok. Now that I’m an outside adviser at the academy, it wouldn’t be a big deal to take out a drawing room for us, well.”
“Yeah, I knew it, so I called ahead of time.”
“… … .”
We headed straight to the drawing room.
It was a fairly spacious and luxurious place, apparently because Shin Woo-seok paid a lot of attention.
We immediately sat down facing each other.
“Sorry, I’m late. There were a lot of things to be concerned about.”
At her words, I nodded as if understanding.
It must have been difficult to seal the body of Natalia Milited, which Alice Blesbuck had asked for. I also asked her for something like that, so in fact, most of her suffering was because of me.
“I should rather give an apology. To be honest, I kept worrying about whether I was asking too much of an unreasonable request.”
“Well, it’s not like Ji-hyeok wants you to satisfy his greed.”
she smiled brightly.
I immediately pulled something out of my pocket and grabbed it.
It was a case containing a headdress for her, made by the blacksmith of Yado.
“Did you say you have something to offer? Get this first.”
“Wow, what is this?”
“It’s a headdress forged with my scales.”
At that, she paused slightly, and then carefully took the case.
With trembling hands, she stroked the case, and without hesitation she pulled out the hair ornament inside.
Feather of Black and White (Unique/ Autonomous/ Semi-legendary)
This is a headdress that the legendary blacksmith Yado forged with all his might from the scales first shed by the black dragon, who inherited the heart and blood of Minerva, the Seven Evil Order.
It splits like a feather at the will of its owner, granting additional corrections to all actions.
Multiple shards can take many forms, including swords, shields, armor, and arrowheads.
It has a very beautiful appearance and is highly valued simply as an ornament.
“… pretty.”
Yeeun Lee muttered in a dazed voice.
Seeing her like that, I quietly added an explanation.
The other children were also given items suitable for each, and they were made by the blacksmith of Yado.
In addition, since it is a unique weapon, you will know how to use it as soon as you wear it, and above all, you will be able to perform a meaningful attack on the Seven evils in the future… However, Yeeun Lee pretended to listen to my explanation and mechanically nodded her head.
As anyone can tell, all her nerves were directed to her hair ornament.
“this… Are you really mine?”
“Yes, yes.”
“thank you… really pretty… Really, really, this is the first time I’ve ever received a gift I like… .”
Yeeun Lee muttered blankly and stroked her hair ornament.
Then he suddenly sat down and turned his back to me.
“Would you mind loosening my hair tie? I want to fill this in front of your eyes for the first time.”
“A headband?”
“Yeah, it’s a bit complicated. So it’s a little difficult to solve on my own.”
At her words, I got up from my seat and walked closer.
As she said, the braids were intricately tied.
Without a second thought, I reached out to untie the braids, but I stopped for a moment.
It was because the decoration of the headband was red.
red.
For a moment, the color of emotion that Ye-eun Lee, whom Sbangali spoke of, has in me, and the meaning of the color of red that Lee Yu-na spoke of, vividly shimmered in my mind. Even without looking in the mirror, I could tell that my face was burning red.
“… ? What is it? Is there any problem?”
“No, nothing. My hair is so soft.”
“I take good care of my hair.”
Yeeun Lee said as if she was proud of herself.
As I untie the braids, she curls her hair in a familiar motion and inserts a headdress.
It suited her so well that for a moment I let out an exclamation without knowing it.
“What do you think? suited?”
“yes.”
“yes?”
“Really, they fit really well.”
At the honest compliment, Yeeun Lee smiled without saying a word.
It was such a beautiful smile that I closed my mouth without realizing it.
“… … .”
Thinking that you become this pretty when you become an adult, I immediately took out another case to hide the awkwardness.
“Oh, and take this too.”
“Oh my God, what else is this?”
“It’s a ring.”
As she reached out her hand at my words, she stopped for a moment.
“… ring?”
“Yes, a ring.”
I nodded and added the explanation as before.
“Like an artifact forged with my scales. And like I said before, it was made for the Seven Evils that we are dealing with this time, so please keep wearing it as much as possible.”
For some reason, Lee Ye-eun let out a small sigh at those words.
It was as if that were the case.
“… Yes, I will.”
Lee Ye-eun, who had been handed the ring with a weaker look than before, asked me as if it had suddenly come to mind.
“By the way, did you pass this on to the other kids as well?”
“Yes, I did.”
“… Did you pass them one by one while looking at each other like me?”
I shook my head at her question.
“no. When we were all together, we gave them away at once.”
At that, she opened her mouth as if a little startled.
Then he shook his head slightly and muttered in a very quiet voice.
“… Everyone has a lot of trouble.”
[For the first time, I have a crush on that woman.]
Sbangali muttered so.
For some reason, even Laune in my pocket seemed to nod as if in agreement.
* * *
“yes?”
Han Soo-young blinked at the sudden phone call.
Hyun Woo.
When the name appeared on the screen, she answered the call without hesitation.
No, just before she was about to answer the phone, the phone hung up and hung up.
“… no way.”
She muttered and left her phone silent.
The phone started ringing again.
This time she rang exactly three times and nodded slightly as she looked at her phone that was turned off.
Next to her were Jin Ye-seul and Lee Yu-na.
“It’s Hyeonu.”
Han Soo-young muttered quietly.
For some reason, her eyes sank into confusion.
