Early winter with a fierce snowstorm.
Meanwhile, in the middle of downtown Seoul, a man without even a coat was standing there.
He is looking around while holding a strong red bow.
With his long, flowing hair tied up in a tight ponytail, the man did not pay attention to his surroundings.
Rather, passers-by or citizens just looked at him.
“Who is it?”
“Did you come by a time machine? what?”
“Are hunters these days like that?”
“What is that red bow again?”
“But doesn’t it look like there’s something atmospheric about it?”
“Why do I look like a cosplay? “Giggle.”
He looks noticeably different from 5 years ago.
Naturally, the citizens were unable to recognize the man’s identity.
That’s right too.
He had his long hair tied up, but his bangs obscured his face.
Even more so because it was long.
“Hmm, it really has changed a lot.”
It’s been 5 years.
Just like a wanderer somewhere deep in the mountains of the northeast, away from ordinary life.
A wandering life.
The man thought that time was just passing by.
But, I couldn’t do that.
A small sapper held in his right hand.
The meaning of a single drop of an elixir containing a specific magic ingredient identical to one’s own.
I couldn’t just pass it up.
“I’ll have to check it myself.”
Others referred to him this way.
The current generation’s strongest bow master, ‘Hyeon King.’
The red bow he is currently holding symbolizes him.
The popular belief that any solid metal object will shatter in front of the wise king’s enemy palace is still widely known around the world.
At the time, his impact was beyond imagination.
Of course, this was nothing more than a myth and a thing of the past.
In the span of five years, so many tectonic changes have occurred in the current era… .
It was in an instant that the existence of the Wise King was gradually forgotten.
The reason he came here in the middle of downtown Seoul was simple.
The only one who possesses a specific magical power like himself.
I wanted to see him with my own eyes.
Soon, he wandered through the city center. No, he took one step at a time toward a specific destination.
A long and tall building standing tall in the middle of downtown Seoul.
At the edge of the building, there was also a mark symbolizing the Woohwang Guild.
“… “Then, let’s go.”
***
Woohwang Guild office building master room.
Deok-ho Choi felt something unusual when a cold wave hit in early winter.
He had a general idea of what this meant.
“It looks like we have a new guest.”
It was still early winter, and the snowstorm and cold spell were making him excited again.
“This year’s end will be warm for the first time in a while.”
With his back turned, Deokho Choi smiled.
He already felt it. The fact that someone welcome has appeared and that we will arrive here soon.
However, his prediction came much earlier than expected.
smart-
With a couple of knocks, Choi Deok-ho’s chief of staff quickly bowed and opened his mouth.
“Yes, Master.”
“What’s going on?”
“Well, he appeared.”
“Don’t be nervous and speak straight. What appears?”
“Hyun, King Hyeon came to visit our office building.”
“Hmm, this really came earlier than I thought.”
“What did you expect?”
“I expected it to some extent. Please guide me this way.”
“All right!”
I never thought the wise king would come here on his own two feet.
It seems like it was quite urgent. Even Choi Deok-ho could not have predicted that one drop of the elixir would have such a big effect.
Because of this, in many ways, Choi Deok-ho had no choice but to value Cha Min-jun’s influence.
A being who returned Jeong Do-yu, whose mind had been controlled by nearly 90% of the dissociative hunter, back to his original form, and even brought in the Wise King, whom he thought he would meet before the end of his life.
Now, even he thought that Cha Min-jun’s existence was at a level that could not be overlooked lightly.

Soon enough, the door to the master room burst open.
“long time no see. “Master?”
“Oh my, how did you come to this far away place? Bow Master?”
“Fuhaha! “It’s been a long time since I heard you referred to as a bow master.”
“You’re not dead yet, are you?”
“Is that so?!”
It was more than just a relationship between teacher and student, but from the perspective of a third party, it seemed safe to say that they were close friends who had been together for a long time.
While we were having a brief(?) tea time.
The wise king began to rhyme first.
“Where is that friend now?”
“Hehe, it’s still the same. “I’m impatient.”
“Other than that, there was no other reason to come here.”
“Hmm, maybe now… .”
gulp-
The wise king swallowed his dry saliva with difficulty.
Seeing Deokho Choi hesitate a little, I had a slight suspicion that he might have been aggroed by me.
“Why don’t you lighten up that expression? Don’t worry. “Do you really think I had to resort to such tricks to invite you here?”
“That’s because I was deceived by Master in more than one way.”
“haha! “Isn’t that all an old story?”
“Maybe not now.”
“Hey, you guy! “What do you think of me?”
“So, let’s check it now.”
In response, Deokho Choi took out a smartphone from his inner pocket.
The keypad is pressed naturally right away.
It seemed natural, as if I had made several phone calls before.
Tu- Tu-
Then there were several beeps, and a familiar voice came over the phone.
-hello.
“It’s been a while, Cha Min-jun! “It’s me.”
It was Cha Min-jun.
In his opinion, the situation at Xenics Academy, which had just finished its final semester, was…
I wondered if he was still staying at Xenix Academy… .
Fortunately, he didn’t know that it would be so nice to hear that he was still staying at Xenics.
Eventually, as soon as he finished the call as simply as possible, Deokho Choi immediately stood up.
“Quick, wake up. “Shouldn’t you meet a friend who has the same magical power as you?”
Of course, there is sincerity in Choi Deok-ho’s eyes.
The look in his eyes was devoid of any trace of playfulness.
Accordingly, the current king is also feeling a subtle mixture of relief and curiosity.
I quickly got up from my seat.
***
Minjun was slowly heading towards the front door of Xenics.
Then, a black car stopped in front of Minjun and the window slowly opened.
“It’s been a while. How are you? Cha Min-jun.”
“Yes, you still seem correct.”
“then. “He looks like an old man, but he’s still young.”
While Choi Deok-ho casually asked how I was doing.
Someone came out of the car door on the other side.
‘We finally got to meet each other.’
Min-jun immediately had a hunch just by looking at the man’s facial expression.
That an unusual person suddenly appeared in front of him.
‘Hyun King…’ . He is the wise king.’
Although the red arch representing his symbolism was not visible, the atmosphere itself was mysterious and dreamy.
And there was definitely a reason why I was able to be confident in this intuition I was currently feeling.
That was because the flow of magical energy felt in some parts of his body was fluctuating.
The circulation of magical power began to shake more dramatically and strongly than usual.
Minjun is already like that.
On the contrary, it could be predicted that the Wise King would also be feeling the same flow of magic power.
Because of this, the current king may want to check closely… .
I walked closer to Minjun.
“Did you prepare this elixir yourself?”
At first, I thought he was holding up a bottle of some kind and showing it off, but I could faintly see a drop of the ‘Arapin elixir’ that Minjun had made remaining in it.
Perhaps that one drop was enough to bring the ‘Sage King’ to the center of Seoul.
It was enough to make me think.
In any case, in response to Hyeonwang’s question, Minjun immediately nodded and did not avoid eye contact.
“Yes, I manufactured it myself.”
“Then, how did you obtain the specific magical power that is the ingredient of this elixir?”
“… Do I really have to say that?”
“Is there any reason you can’t talk?”
“I’m a bit picky about people.”
“Fuhahaha! “He’s quite an interesting guy.”
The current king burst into laughter on the spot. His boisterous(?) laughter never stopped, to the point where passers-by saw him wondering if he had a mental problem.
Even if you laugh like that… .
This time, the wise king asks another question.
It seems that Minjun had the same magical power as himself.
There was a lot of thought in it.
“Can you hold out your hand?”
“Well, it’s not a difficult request.”
Sigh-
Minjun extended his left arm in front of Hyeonwang. Then he raised his face and closely observed Minjun’s left hand.
‘As expected, it stands out clearly. It’s really a certain magic power.’
I couldn’t believe it. A certain magic power that she thought only she had.
However, as if it were visible, a certain bluish magical power was flowing randomly around the palm of Minjun’s left hand.
Moreover, it was so vivid that the clarity itself was different from my own.
‘It’s definitely clear. This level of clarity… .’
It was like watching the first time the Wise King gained a certain magical power.
The expectations that only those with certain magical powers can enjoy are high, but that aside.
There is also a clear difference depending on the clarity.
In particular, the specific magical power felt from Min-jun like now is more than what the Hyeon-wang thought.
It was beyond expectations.
This means that future growth expectations are endless and it is more than just a hunter.
It implies that there is no problem at all even if the level is exceeded.
‘Luckily I didn’t make a mistake.’
The wise king felt a small sense of relief in his heart.
That’s right too.
This was because the existence of a specific magical power was very rare, and at the same time, there was a structure in which those who had passed through a specific magical power, such as myself, could immediately inherit it.
Of course, I didn’t know Minjun closely yet… .
The current king knew his current situation better than anyone else.
‘There is no need for me to have this little magical power left.’
The current king is suffering from the demon king’s curse.
However, it was unfair to just spend time without any meaning.
Because of this, the wise king is as good as possible.
If you have a certain magical power… .
As long as it meets your standards… .
He was willing to pass on certain remaining magical powers to others.
And, little by little, I began to think that the owner might be ‘Cha Min-jun’ who finally appeared in front of me… .
