Fortunately, Professor Blesbuck was holding his seat when he arrived at the public office after a long walk.
It was the first time I had ever seen her muttering something while rummaging through the papers.
… If you think about it, Alice Blesbuck was a character who, although shy at first, was sincere as much as she cared for her students.
But why the hell did all I see look like they were all overworked and tired, or they were just running away in surprise at the word “purifying potion”?
Anyway, it was when I was standing at the entrance of the office waiting to disturb Professor Blesbuck, who was working hard.
“ah.”
Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked straight in the direction.
She smiled pleasantly with a look of surprise.
With her eyes full of tiredness that could not be hidden, she motioned for me to come.
As I approached, she offered me a small chair to sit on.
“Hello professor.”
“okay. Hello, Jihyuk. What’s happen?”
I thought it would be better to bring it up from the bottom of the story rather than change the word for nothing.
“I’m sorry all of a sudden, can I get sick for a week from tomorrow?”
At my words, she gave me a look of surprise.
“Illness? At this time?”
“Yes.”
She looked more serious than before.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Actually, I have a personal situation rather than a bad body. I think it will take at least a week… … .”
At that, Professor Blesbuck was silent.
She must have already known the personal information about me, so I just wanted you to misunderstand me.
Prof. Blesbuck quietly opened his mouth as if he had finished his thoughts.
“Then I think it would be difficult to get sick. Of course, you will need a medical certificate and a statement of reason. Do you know well that leaving the academy without permission can lead to expulsion in extreme cases?”
“Can’t it be done somehow? It’s really urgent.”
She hesitated for a moment at my request.
“If you need a week or so of time, there is a way… … .”
With those words, Professor Blesbuck handed me a piece of paper with a look of disapproval.
temporary leave of absence.
At the top of the paper it was written that way.
“Are you on vacation?”
When asked in amazement, she raised her hand as if not to worry.
“It’s literally a temporary leave of absence. As students from all over the world come to visit, there are many cases where there are circumstances that cannot be said or urgent. It was recently created for such students… … Because the rules of the academy cannot be tampered with, they blindfolded them and called it a temporary leave of absence. In principle, a leave of absence can be approved immediately after putting aside all the miscellaneous regulations as long as you have your own will.”
“Aha… … .”
“This will give you a week or so of your time as you wish. Instead, during this period, of course, it is impossible to process attendance. … Are you okay though?”
“Yes.”
Prof. Blesbuck let out a small sigh at my prompt reply.
“okay. If you’ve come all the way here, you’re saying that your troubles are over. If that’s what you mean… … .”
She signed the temporary leave of absence with a beautiful handwriting and handed it to me with a pen.
After signing, I politely handed the leave of absence letter, and she took it and put it in the file folder.
“Don’t worry too much, the permit will be issued within today. The permit will probably be mailed to your dorm room.”
“thank you.”
“Oh, Jihyuk.”
“Why?”
Professor Blesbuck, who called me, thought for a moment and then waved his hand as if it was nothing.
“Ugh, no. Forgetting to warn that if the leave of absence is too long, it will be treated as a real leave of absence, and that during the leave of absence, you will not be treated as an academy student, so be careful. Please be careful.”
“Yes. All right.”
“okay… … .”
After saying that, she turned her head and began to scan the documents again.
He bowed his head to her once, and immediately left the office.

If there was one thing that was overlooked, it was that he had been involved with Lee Myung-Jun so often that he had forgotten that he was one of the busiest people in the world.
Since he came to the academy as an advisor from the beginning, he must have had a lot of work.
There was a raid at the time of the guild invitation, three large criminal groups involved, a meeting with six guild masters, and the problem of insiders and traitors discovered… … .
It was only natural that he would be very busy right now.
The problem was that this would be difficult if you couldn’t contact him at all.
‘What… … .’
There were a total of three so-called Hidden Pieces, which I concluded that I could definitely find out while on vacation by raking up the knowledge I could remember.
To be honest, I was just waiting for the right time because I knew that the process of getting them all was cumbersome, the clear conditions were difficult, or that the post-processing and after-storms were negligible.
But who was it?
cherish what’s going on
No matter how good things are, if you can’t use them when you really need them, they’re meaningless.
In other words, he was no longer in a position to care about such things.
Even so, it is of course a good idea to reduce the risk that can be reduced as much as possible.
And the place I had marked the first place I would go to was the most risky place.
Apart from the other two hidden pieces, this one was a must-visit.
That’s why I purposely built up contributions to Lee Myung-jun and his guild, the Hammer of Brain Gong… … .
I couldn’t contact him when it was really important.
I fiddled with my phone with a broken screen.
In the end, it was time to put the phone in after texting him that he wanted to contact him later.
“Why are you on your phone again?”
Jin Ye-seul, who raised her head awkwardly, whispered and asked.

On the way back from meeting Professor Blesssbuck, Jin Ye-seul, who was still standing blankly, saw me and immediately came to his senses and started following me.
I couldn’t even tell him not to follow me, so I left him alone and he followed me to the library.
“You know. before.”
“ah.”
At my words, she nodded as if she understood.
Then he looked at it carefully and frowned.
“But no matter how you look at it, it looks like it’s broken.”
“What?”
“Can I check it out?”
With my permission, Jin Ye-seul took her cell phone and called somewhere.
Then she stared at her cell phone and nodded when there was no response no matter how much time passed.
“I think it’s really broken.”
“this.”
He took the phone back from her and tapped his tongue slightly.
I thought it was strange, but I really thought it was broken.
I guess I’ll have to go to town tomorrow to have it repaired, or I’ll have to buy a new one.
“… … .”
In the middle of that, I remembered myself thinking about the reason why I couldn’t seriously contact Lee Myung-joon before, and I was making an expression that I couldn’t express.
“Oh, right.”
In the meantime, Jin Ye-seul said to me, clapping her hands as if she had suddenly remembered.
“I think those two have finally come to their senses, and now they can dig up information.”
The two people she is talking about are the slayers of the Red Case that attacked me a few days ago.
When I looked at him as if to say more, Jin Ye-seul gently lowered his gaze and said.
“Honestly, the wounds were so deep that I thought there would be no choice but to just die… … I was able to catch my breath somehow.”
“okay.”
I nodded.
Regarding the interrogation, there was no one to follow Jin Ye-seul.
You can extract information from the corpse of a dead person, who better than her?
Even though I knew it was pointless, I gave her a word of encouragement.
“You must not run away or let yourself commit suicide by any chance. And you can’t even find out that you’re holding them both.”
Then Jin Ye-seul answered with a bright smile.
“don’t worry! I’ve cut the tendons in the limbs and pulled out the jaw joint, so there’s nothing you can do about it. To be honest, I’m not the one with the power or the right to speak in my family, but… … Still, there are people and places I can manage separately, so don’t worry. I pickled it, but I put a watch on it just in case.”
“… oh yeah Then please.”
For a moment, the two felt pity for them, but it was only for a short time.
I wasn’t the kind of guy who rushed in to kill this guy, and was nice enough to let go of the things I was muttering about like dissecting alive.
No, that’s probably more stupid than nice.
The fact that maybe I might have been the same, I struggled to throw it into the other corner of my consciousness.
“Yeah, don’t worry. I’ll make them divulge everything they know. It’ll be a lot easier since we’ve got two people in there.”
Jin Ye-seul looked at this and made an expression as if to trust him.
“That means you can just kill up to two people.”
“… … .”
After staring at him for a moment at a loss for words, the only words he could say were ‘don’t kill him until you get important information’.
At my words, she gently nodded her head.
To be honest, I didn’t really believe it, but I couldn’t help but believe it.
“Then why did you suddenly come to the library? That too… … Well, where the philosophical books are.”
I didn’t answer her questions.
This was because there was no need to explain that there was a skill book hidden in the area where the philosophy books were placed in the library, and that they were looking for it now.
“Well, there is a saying that in order to make life fertile, you have to sow the seeds of philosophy.”
“I think it’s just a sneak peek.”
I glanced at Jin Ye-seul in surprise and covered her mouth.
Then he shook his head as if he hadn’t said anything, so I turned my head slightly and continued to do what I was doing.
Actually, it was what she said.
I couldn’t help but sigh when I thought about how reckless it would be to find just one among the tens of thousands of books.
It was structured in such a way that the hidden content was revealed only by looking directly at the sentence on one side of the page, so I had to look at every single page of the book at least.
At least a few hundred books seemed to have been scanned closely, but I had no idea how many more times I had to repeat this.
The skill you can find here wasn’t necessary, but it was a skill that didn’t hurt to have it.
That fact alone was enough to make me sell my feet like this.
I don’t know if it will take a few days, but I’ll figure it out in a few months, so it was time to think positively.
“ah. Lunchtime will be over in a little while.”
Thanks to Jin Ye-seul, who muttered a little, in an instant, the pulse was released.
With a sigh, Jin Ye-seul looked like she didn’t understand English again until she put the book she was holding back on the bookshelf.

Han Soo-young was heading to the public office with a file folder in her arms.
The professor in charge of the magic club said he had documents to send to Professor Blesbuck in a hurry, and I’m sorry, but he handed it to me if I could give it to him on the way home.
Since it was not a burdensome request, Han Soo-young readily accepted the professor’s request.
“… … .”
She was thinking about what had happened in the previous club.
The upperclassman, who had been bothering her for a while, didn’t come after that day.
Thanks to this, I was able to reconnect with the people of the club I had been estranged from, and I did not feel hesitant about going to the club.
In the meantime, I felt him staring at me in the poor room earlier, and I remembered that I had deliberately swept my head back as if to show off.
Thanks to that, when the earring caught my eye, he frowned and disappeared somewhere.
Even thinking about it, it was a little childish behavior, but more than that, it was heartbreaking.
If I had known this would happen, I would have cut it off sooner,” she was muttering to herself.
Unknowingly, he could realize that he was brushing his hair and touching his earring.
At that fact, she gently lowered her hand and straightened her posture.
As she felt her face getting hotter, she grumbled that she was hot and took off her cardigan.
The weather was still rather chilly, but it was hot for her.
Anyway, it was.
“Excuse me… … .”
When I opened the door to the office and entered, it was very quiet inside.
Since it is a public office, she only guessed that it might be because there are many professors who use their own office rather than using this place.
“Oh, it’s swimming. What’s going on?”
“hello. professor.”
Then, one of the professors who was teaching a liberal arts class pretended to know her.
Unsurprisingly, Han Soo-young is an honor student with an S rank and excellent grades.
There was no arrogance there, and he had always shown his efforts.
So most of the professors looked at her well, and he was one of them.
When he said hello and explained why he had come, the professor pointed his finger at a certain place and said:
“Professor Blesbuck’s position is probably over there. I was there until a while ago, but I think something happened and I left… … You probably won’t be back for a while, so just leave it alone. I’ll tell you later.”
“thank you.”
With those words, Han Soo-young headed to the position of Professor Blesbuck.
Han Soo-young carefully laid down the folder she had brought on the desk with all kinds of papers and papers full of unknown formulas.
The back pages with high-level formulas that even Han Soo-young, who is far beyond her peers, could not understand, were enough to stimulate her curiosity.
She glanced at me like that and wondered what the formula meant.
“uh?”
Suddenly, a piece of paper caught my eye.
It was a piece of paper that came out of a filing cabinet.

Originally, I would have never touched it.
However, she could feel an unfamiliar feeling of uneasiness wrapped around her body.
According to Choi Hyun-woo, it was said that it was intuition.
She decided to follow her intuition.
Very carefully, she looked around and took out the papers from the folder.
temporary leave of absence.
As soon as I saw the word, I could feel my heart pounding.
“uh?”
And her eyes began to tremble violently when she saw a familiar name written on the leave of absence.
Your heart starts beating faster and faster.
It must be the same person
I wanted to think so, but the name written in sperm was written in the handwriting of Yoo Ji-hyeok, whom she knew.
The autograph engraved underneath it was clearly that of Yoo Ji-hyeok, whom he had seen before.
“… … why?”
She just mumbled blankly.
