35 – Fools
“Kill! Kill that bastard quickly!!! It’s Hanna! Cut it in half and kill me!!!”
“…… No! A little… , calm down!! Mr. Jinwoo!! What the hell is wrong with you!!! aaagh!!!”
“aaa!!!!!”
“… ….”
Yoohanna felt a distant feeling while watching the gaepan in the hospital room.
She suddenly saw the sliding door next to her.
If you close the door and leave now, you’ll be able to escape from the crazy place.
…… However, the protagonist of that gag was his childhood friend. Looking at the situation now, it was clear that there would be problems later, and it was better to intervene right away to prevent it.
‘What is this idiot doing with a knife in his fodder? If you’re going to kill me, I’ll kill you secretly.’
Aww, she let out a sigh and approached her childhood friend, who was holding a knife in one hand and her Irene’s hair in the other.
She pushed aside the blonde, red-eyed witch who was struggling to block him.
‘…… Really, you can’t do without me?’
Yoo Han-na grabbed Lee Jin-woo by the neck with a proud smile.
Her face went white. Soon, he began to shake his body and then his head and knife dropped at the same time.
In this way, the attempted murder case was mediated in an instant with overwhelming force.
Yes, considering that it was a touch-and-go situation, it was a peaceful solution in its own way… ,
“I have a complaint!”
“I have water-“
“Shut up!!!”
“… ….”
When Lee Jin-woo shouted with a sigh, Irene immediately shut her mouth.
Shin Hye-young still couldn’t figure out what the reason for this sh*t was, so she was restless.
Yuhanna listened to her with her arms folded as if she wanted to listen.
“That b*tch insulted me!”
“No, what I ordered was just fair labor and measures for it?”
“Go!!! I couldn’t even get off work for a month and I only worked, but is that fair labor? You say that now?!”
──Pea ae ae ae ae ae ae!!!
A special breed of cattle, the strongest of all the slaves in the world, howled.
People in the hospital room had never heard such a clear and sorrowful echo in their lives. I was instantly mesmerized by his voice.
Only a childhood friend who had seen crazy Lee Jin-woo for a long time came to his senses and said.
“No, so you really want to kill people, not pretend?”
“Even if it doesn’t kill me, I have to take some action for my boiling anger and tarnished reputation.”
“Hmm, it seems like a common fight in the company, so I’m asking at this point, right?”
It is common not only in the Mage Tower but also in general workplaces for superiors to give their subordinates heavy workloads.
Of course, Selberg Magic Tower was not a typical workplace. Although the staff were wizards who devoted themselves to their work for personal wishes and achievements.
There was no way the Mage’s Tower, one of the world’s three major organizations, would gladly look at the situation in which members of the Mage’s sword fights with each other, and furthermore, a situation where there is an extreme situation.
──If you kill Irene at this rate, the Mage Tower will not leave Lee Jin-woo alone.
She knew that obvious fact.
── In the first place, she seems to have wanted to kill her boss after her stupid childhood friend went to work for a long time. Because she vaguely guessed that she was——
I intended to put a clean end to their muddy dispute here.
“No! f*ck! Oh my God, is it common to put a dog collar around your neck and make it work for a month?! Wow! The world is f*cking scary!”
“…… What?”
Yeah, she definitely intended to end things peacefully.
Until I heard Jinwoo Lee’s new revelation.
Yuhanna opened her mouth and scanned Lee Jin-woo’s handsome face and the nape of his neck.
Then, she thought.
‘…… A necklace I haven’t worn?’
f*ck?
In her heart, which had been at peace lately, an extreme sense of murder soared.
Yuhanna quickly approached her with an expressionless face and put her hand on the red-haired researcher’s shoulder.
Also, she honestly confessed her inner feelings.
“…… I will kill you.”
“…… Yes? Mr. Yuna? Oh no! Hey?!”
Wood deuk-! Irene was startled when she heard the sound of her own shoulder.
The pain and rupture experienced for the first time as a lifelong devoted to paperwork and planning.
She feels the grip of the Mage Tower’s final weapon that crushes her like a press, her own…… ,
──I had a premonition of ‘death’.
Uncharacteristically for Irene, her body trembled and shed tears like chicken droppings.
Still, she wouldn’t have known.
The fact that Yuhanna was contemplating pulling out her own bloodstained intestines and hanging them up like her long red hair.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have ended up shedding tears like she is now.
It was around this time that Irene realized that her death was gradually approaching.
The voice of salvation came suddenly.
“Hanna Yu, stop moving! Get out of there.”
“…… What?”
“I said hands off! My childhood friend.”
Surprisingly, it was her subordinate who had been screaming death so far that was trying to save her, her nefarious boss.
Lee Jin-woo said in a gentle manner as if he had been whining.
“As you said, what happened at the company is in the company’s way! Also, it is right to end my grudge with my own hands! So, get your hands off me!”
“…… Joy!”
Yuhanna snorted at her with a stern look on her face and immediately removed her hand. She tended to listen to what her childhood friend said.

Meanwhile, Irene collapsed on the floor of her hospital room with her face in her mesmerized state.
‘…… Yes, I lived.’
I thought I would die if I made a mistake. No, it definitely went right before that.
Barely alive, she raised her head and looked fondly at her subordinate.
As expected, my faithful paperwork slave…… ?
Shiui-! Excess quickly flew into the face.
Hey! Irene made a shrieking sound and quickly rolled across her floor.
She successfully evaded her.
“As a slave to express documents, I had to read the business manual diligently. That’s why I know the rules of the Mage Tower very well!”
Even though I couldn’t untie the bomb necklace hanging around my neck properly, I got kidnapped!
I didn’t even know that the world was going to end, but it was!
Lee Jin-woo recited Chapter 15, Section 135 of the Mage Tower Business Manual he had seen before.
“If you are dissatisfied with your boss, colleague or subordinate’s work, solve it with an open magic duel.”
Yes, the punishment for the vicious boss had to be done in a fair duel.
I agreed with that and threw an apple peeler instead of white gloves.
Jinwoo Lee stood with his eyes wide open and solemnly shouted, pointing with his finger at the red-haired trash demon that had been pampering him!
“It’s a duel! Irene!”
…… So, a month later from that day, on June 11, 2021, at 6:00 pm on Burning Friday, the date of their death match was set.
“…… To?”
Irene didn’t know.
* * *
…… After lunchtime ended, Shin Hye-young and Irene went back to work in the afternoon.
“Honestly, I can’t win with you right now.”
“…… Big.”
Yoohanna immediately fired factual violence.
I knew that long ago, so I closed my eyes and groaned.
Yes, to be honest, the odds of winning were slim for me, who had only been awakened for less than two months and whose job was [Colossus].
Because it is obviously a merchant type, there is a lot of money to buy something at the system shop.
However, you cannot wear equipment such as weapons or armor that is limited to a certain job.
Except for ‘Geumhwa God’, there are no characteristics and abilities that can be used in battle.
On the other hand, Irene has been engaged in office work for a long time, but she is a mature wizard of the ‘enemy’ level.
Even though his characteristics and abilities weren’t combative, he was a veteran who could easily activate even middle-ranking magic.
It was said that he was a person with extraordinary abilities on a different level from me, who only had a strong body thanks to his awakening.
However, my childhood friend put his hand on my shoulder with a very serious expression——unlike what he did with Irene, it was a very kind gesture——and shouted!
“But, Lee Jin-woo. The story is different if you practice with me!”
“What?!”
“Image. It will be drawn as you imagine.”
Hannah chanted quietly.
At the same time, a huge amount of mana filled the hospital room.
It soon turned the world upside down.
──The whole world turned white.
I looked around like an idiot at the universe-like world that was all white.
Hannah Yu looked at me and burst into laughter.
She kindly explained.
“It is an image world that I created temporarily with barriers around it. You can train as much as you want without getting hurt here.”
“…… Whoa.”
“You seem to have learned martial arts, but in fact, even if you train properly, you can easily step on Irene like a chewing gum.”
“Is that true? Teacher?!”
“Ah, do you really not believe me? Are you a disciple?”
“It can’t be!”
Yuhanna looked at me with a happy face and suddenly pulled out two swords from the air.
She threw one of them. I got it by accident.
My childhood friend told me with a rather sinister smile.
“If you really want to win, you can swing your sword all night today, right? Or did you shout that you would win even though you didn’t have that much determination!”
“It can’t be! My body is fine even if I stay up all night for a month!”
“Really? Then show your mettle! Seriously attack me!”
“aaa!!!!!”
[ ‘Geumhwa Shin Gong’ is active. ]
Down with Irene…….
No, the will of the two boiled over with the common goal of killing Irene.
In particular, Lee Jin-woo swung his sword with desperate determination to achieve his lifelong goal.
He promised.
‘Absolutely! I will definitely kill you!’
With such a resolution, the number of sword strikes in rage accumulates, and the night deepens.
* * *
“…… Ah.”
The woman groaned.
She was frightened in her pitch-black room, but then realized that the world she feared was so red, and her frightened heart calmed down.
He put his hand over her face and covered her eyes.
“…… It’s stupid.”
And being afraid of the person who left.
Also, what I miss.
She is not cruel, but to her who lived a ruthless life,
It was a very foolish and sad thing for Xiao Fang, who wanted to live a cool life again.
“Lee Jin—… “
She kept repeating the name of the man she couldn’t bear to pronounce.
For some reason, I continued to do it even though I knew it was foolish.
Xiao Fang closed her eyes.
Soon she drew the innocent Lee Jin-woo in her head.
Then I muttered.
“Stupid person… ….”
I miss you.
