Woohwang Guild office building master room.
“what? “Is that friend coming to our office in person?”
“yes.”
“What did you do without telling me right away?”
“Well, it is said that he handed just one elixir to emergency team leader Lim Lee and then turned away.”
“Elixir?”
“Yes, I think I handed it over to Lim and the team leader because I wanted to make a direct request to our ‘Pagoda Research Institute.’”
“… “It’s an elixir.”
After hearing the chief secretary’s report, Choi Deok-ho naturally rested his chin.
I don’t know why, but if the elixir was requested directly from the ‘Pagoda Research Institute’… .
‘It seems like a very important elixir. Just stay still. ‘This is not the time for me to be like this.’
Deokho Choi was curious.
I felt like the answer to this question would be solved only if I saw it with my own eyes.
Finally, after putting on the coat hanging on the wall, he left the master room and immediately headed to the ‘Pagoda Research Institute’ on the basement floor.
***
‘Pagoda Research Institute’ on the basement floor of the Woohwang Guild office building.
Even within the Woohwang Guild, which is referred to as a traditional guild, ‘Pagoda Research Institute’ had a reputation as the research center most specialized in the domestic elixir development business.
Of course, there are world-famous overseas guilds.
The experimental spirit and development capabilities of ‘Pagoda Research Institute’ have already been recognized by multinational companies involved in the manufacture of elixirs abroad, and trust has been strong, and the investment amount poured in each year exceeds 3 trillion won.
“Director, I just received a call from the secretary’s office. “The Master is said to be visiting here soon!” “What? Master? “What kind of business are you coming here for?”
“I didn’t hear anything in detail, and I’m not sure why because I was just informed of it. “Isn’t it because of the awakening-promoting agent agenda that was recently developed for a new medicine?”
“Arousal stimulants have already been adopted as a project agenda for the first half of next year, so there won’t be anything to hear now, right?”
“Then what is it?”
“Hmm, if you come, we should talk to you in person. “We have to greet Master first, so let’s get ready.”
“yes!”
Kim Han-ki, the general manager and director of ‘Pagoda Research Institute’, quickly took off the medical gloves he was wearing.
Master Choi Deok-ho’s visits to this laboratory are among the top three visits throughout the year.
It was quite unusual to visit with the end of the year just around the corner.
Eventually, it was time to complete all preparations to welcome him.
The automatic door of the laboratory opened slowly.
Sigh-
“Are you here? “Master!”
“It’s been a while, Director Kim. Is anything going on?”
“Oh, no big deal. “There is none.”
“Director Kim, even if something special happens, you don’t think of it as anything special, so it feels like nothing special happened.”
“Why does it seem like every time you come to this lab, Master, you nag more and more?”
“Is that possible? haha.”
Choi Deok-ho’s boisterous laughter could be heard throughout the research institute.
Soon, Deokho Choi began to slowly look around the lab.
“It’s something new every time I come here. Should I say that it feels like going in and out of another research institute? “I think it’s time to get used to it, but it’s a whole new world every time I come.”
“I will accept it with good intentions.”
“Of course you mean well, man. by the way.”
“… Yes, please say so. “Master.”
Choi Deok-ho whispered into Director Kim’s ear.
“Let’s move to a quiet place for now.”
Director Kim realized that this was not a story to be discussed here.
He pointed to the director’s office and guided the master.
“Let’s go to the director’s office.”
Immediately, the Master and Director Kim head to the director’s office.
Upon entering the quiet director’s office, Deokho Choi got to the point.
“I heard that an elixir was requested this morning.”
“Elixir? hmm… wait a minute.”
Director Kim immediately checked the latest elixir requests on his tablet PC.
Usually, we receive anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds of elixir requests.
The elixir request data was always being updated in real time.
Did about 10 minutes pass like that?
As of today, the total number of elixir requests received so far is five.
I immediately checked the list and started showing it to Deokho Choi.
“Hmm… .”
We are in the process of closely examining the number of elixir requests one by one.
One elixir request in particular caught Deokho Choi’s eye.
“Virus-type healing elixir?”
Moreover, the person who requested this elixir was listed as none other than Lim Irang of the Emergency Team of the Woohwang Guild.
Choi Deok-ho, who contacted Lim Irang, who immediately called the emergency team and requested the elixir, asked several questions.
“I see here that you entrusted me with a request for an elixir this morning? “Is it true?”
-That’s true, but I forwarded it to the research center because I was asked to request it.
“ask? “Whose request is this?”

-Well, I got it from Cha Min-jun, a trainee at Xenix Academy.
“… Cha Min-jun?”
-yes. I don’t know if they manufactured it themselves, but seeing as they requested a sample check, I thought the finished product might have been stored separately.
“Hmm, first of all, I understand.”
Tu- Tu-
After finishing his short phone call with Lim, Deok-ho Choi put down the receiver and immediately looked at Director Kim.
“When can I see the test results for this elixir?”
“wait a minute! hmm… You will be able to confirm this within tomorrow morning at the latest. “As long as certain narcotic substances are not detected, it doesn’t take very long.”
“Please report the results to me as soon as they are available.”
“… Ah, I understand.”
Several guesses suddenly began to run rampant in Choi Deok-ho’s head.
‘No way, because of Jeong Do-yu? That can’t be possible.’
‘Even if it’s true… Why?’
‘What is your relationship with Jeong Do-yu?’
‘I’m requesting a viral healing elixir at this timing… .’
Like biting one’s tail.
Choi Deok-ho became filled with curiosity about Min-jun.
***
next day.
Unlike usual, ‘Pagoda Research Institute’ seemed busy from the morning.
“What was the result of the request that the Master specifically asked about yesterday?”
“Yes, warden! The test results just came out. “We will send you the data right away.”
“okay.”
Director Kim immediately checked the data from the elixir test results requested by Minjun.
“this! This?!”
The results of the elixir test were quite surprising and shocking.
Magical power, which accounts for more than 80% of the elixir ingredients, was detected, and the detected magic power was by no means ordinary.
“What are all these magic powers?”
For Director Kim, who has researched numerous elixirs, this was the first magical ingredient he had ever seen.
Unlike the magic power commonly detected among hunters.
The color of the magic power in this elixir was not only darker, but the more I looked at it, the more difficult it became.
“First of all, I have to inform Master of the test results!”
Director Kim hurriedly entered the director’s office and called the master’s office.
“The result of the elixir request Master has been waiting for has been released. “I would like you to visit our laboratory as soon as you confirm the call.”
Has it been about 5 minutes since Director Kim called Deok-ho Choi?
just as expected?
Deokho Choi went straight to the ‘Pagoda Research Institute’.
“Yes, Director Kim. “The results are out?”
“Yes, but unlike other elixirs, this elixir contains more than 80% of a unique magical ingredient.”
“hmm… “I thought it wouldn’t be ordinary, but it seems to contain quite a bit of magical power.”
“however… That’s not the point. “Master.”
Director Kim began to explain in detail about this elixir.
“Of course, this elixir we requested was a small sample, but there were some parts that were quite suspicious. That is, it plays the role of ‘non-arousal suppression’… .”
Non-awakening.
As a hunter, there are many cases where an infinite number of awakenings occur due to certain circumstances. Conversely, this refers to cases where awakening occurs even though you do not want to.
Usually, this non-awakening is not a normal awakening.
They are called non-awakened, and today they are also referred to as mutant hunters.
This is because they usually awaken as virus-type hunters.
A treatment elixir for non-awakened hunters has not yet been developed.
However, the elixir that Director Kim is currently holding can be seen as a highly reliable elixir of treatment.
“The magic power detected in the elixir is definitely not the magic power possessed by other hunters. “Even as someone who has worked with numerous elixirs for decades, I have never seen a single case where magical power was detected like this.”
Choi Deok-ho, who listened intently to Director Kim’s words, felt bright.
‘Non-awakening? then… … ‘
For a moment, he reminded me of Jeong Do-yu. Although it’s still just speculation.
He was certain that the Jeong Do-yu he originally knew was not the same.
It’s already been a week since she disappeared.
Ever since I found out she disappeared, I’ve wondered hundreds of times whether it was really the right decision to expel her… .
The uneasy feeling that Deokho Choi felt after the guild war never went away.
‘Hmm, is this just a coincidence?’
Of course, there is no way to know what the efficacy of this elixir Min-jun requested yesterday will be.
Rather, the person I was more concerned about was Choi Deok-ho.
‘Masan!’
Choi Deok-ho was curious about the nature of the specific magic power that made up 80% of the elixir ingredients that Director Kim mentioned.
Eventually, without hesitation, he opened the ‘Magic Eye’ that could analyze the nature of magical power.
‘Hmm, indeed… .’
The amount of elixir samples was extremely small.
Even though he had opened his ‘magic eye’, it took him a considerable amount of time to analyze the nature of magical power.
‘Shall we load it a little more?’
‘Magic Eye’, which allows analysis using only about 5% of the magical power normally possessed.
However, is it because it contains a specific magical ingredient?
Choi Deok-ho gathered a little more of the magical power distributed within him and moved it to the iris.
When I gathered 10% more strength of magical power and opened the ‘magic eye’, I was finally able to see the nature of the magical power contained in the elixir.
However, Choi Deok-ho’s eyes widened as he grasped the nature of magical power.
‘This, this!’
