Chapter 123
After the interpersonal finals.
I returned to the stadium after talking with Kim Kang-in for an additional hour.
‘… … It’s longer than I thought.’
Originally, I planned to go back immediately after briefly explaining what happened after Kim Kang-in fell into a coma, but the conversation turned out to be longer than expected.
‘It’s okay. After watching a game like that, it’s only natural that I talk a lot.’
Kim Kang-in, very excited by Adela’s game, immediately went into two-much talker mode and started shooting words like a rapid-fire cannon.
They kept pouring out words without me having a chance to intervene, but there was nothing I could do other than really listen.
If the labyrinth exploration had not been scheduled afterwards, he would have been held up until night.
oh that’s terrible
How many hours did you almost hang out with that rapid-fire talk?
I just imagined it, but my body trembled.
“young master. Im here.”
I’m breathing a sigh of relief.
Uncle Seokhyun announced that he had arrived at the stadium.
“thank you.”
I got out of the car right away.
Since it was a player-only parking lot, it didn’t feel particularly popular.
“I will escort you to the waiting room.”
Seokhyun got out of the driver’s seat and stood next to me.
“it’s okay. What are you trying to do here?”
“Unless the opponent is a black mage tower, I don’t know.”
“… … hmm.”
There was nothing to refute.
In fact, I was attacked by The Feast at a hotel I thought would be safe.
The chance of an attack here is not 0%.
“Then may I ask for an escort while using stealth magic?”
It’s not good to stand out for nothing.
“Of course, that was my intention from the beginning.”
Mr. Seokhyun’s appearance slowly began to become transparent.
A sight as if a mirage was dispersing.
It was truly a great stealth magic.
“let’s go.”
Only voices were heard in the air.
It seems that the voice blocking magic was temporarily canceled in order to communicate with me.
“How is The Feast now?”
“It is said to be the same. Sometimes he complains about being bored, but that’s all.”
“Isn’t there any additional information coming out?”
“yes. Regarding the information related to the Black Mage Tower, it is said that they do not even say a word about it.”
“As expected. So what about the attacker?”
The Feast is currently being targeted by the Black Mage Tower.
As there is a possibility that their information will be leaked, they will try to eliminate The Fist at all costs. No wonder there was a massive raid on the prison.
“Not yet.”
“… … I am surprised.”
How could the Black Mage Tower be so quiet? Even though it’s one of the best prisons in the country, I thought they’d move to get rid of it somehow, since it’s an officer with quite a lot of information captured alive.
“I am also wondering. As much as the transfer ceremony was delayed, I thought there would be some movement over there.”
What is urgent in this situation is the Black Magic Tower.
From the point of view of trying to destroy evidence, it would be quite a headache for The Fist to survive for a long time.
“As The Fist’s personality is, do you think there’s no way he’ll divulge information before he’s completely transferred to the Huaelian Prison?”
“hmm. Maybe so. As a quasi-executive, his personality must have been known to some extent.”
Knowing The Feast’s vigilant nature, it wouldn’t make sense to keep quiet like that.
“Whatever it is, the transfer ceremony is the key.”
Can you safely transport The Feast to the Huaelian Prison or not? That will decide the fate of this operation.
“You don’t have to worry about the transfer ceremony. If you look at the list of wizards who will be escorted to the transfer ceremony… … .”
Mr. Seokhyun suddenly stopped talking as if he sensed someone approaching.
“… … A person is coming. We will talk about this later.”
“yes.”
Even the implicit sense of presence completely disappeared.
Indeed, it could be called a perfect hideaway.
another angle, another angle.
As Mr. Seokhyun’s presence disappeared, the sound of shoes hitting the floor was heard from across the hallway.
Elegant yet tough footsteps.
As if the owner of those steps had found me, he narrowed his eyes and approached me.
dodo dodo-
As if to show her impatience, her footsteps became faster.
“… … God’s rate.”
A fire woman with long red hair as her trademark.
Dahlia Salentia.

She stood in front of me with a dissatisfied expression on her face.
“… … You impostor.”
He even spat out such words.
“The 4th circle?”
Previously, I had told Dahlia, whom I met by chance during Kyle and Adela’s match, that Adela was a 4th circle user.
Dahlia must have believed it wholeheartedly.
He must have believed it all the more since he didn’t even use the 5th circle magic against Kyle.
But what is this?
When we met in the finals, it turned out that Adela was a 5th circle user.
It was natural for Dahlia to be called a con artist.
“From where to where did the plan go? No, if you were both in the 5th circle in the first place, you wouldn’t have to plan such a troublesome strategy.”
As if his pride was hurt, he glared at me with a sharp expression.
“Was it your goal to fool us?”
If you have two 5th circle users, you don’t even need to come up with a strategy like this. Even if they go straight ahead, winning is a matter of course.
In such an overwhelmingly favorable situation, he made the awkward choice to hide Adela’s achievements.
From Dahlia’s point of view, it’s natural to feel like she’s been made fun of.
Well, in reality, I didn’t hide my achievements, it was just that there were achievements along the way.
“Answer me. Shinha rate. If the purpose was to fool us from the beginning.”
can’t forgive
It was a clear expression to say that.
“You must be wrong. I didn’t even think of making fun of it.”
“Then what is it? If you’re not ignoring us, there’s no reason for you to do that.”
“I think it’s natural for you to think that way. But you really have to be wrong.”
I took my phone out of my pocket.
“You’ll know when you see this.”
It’s time to start slowly.
“It just started.”
Then, the TV mode was executed as it was, and the channel with Adela’s exclusive interview was transmitted in hologram mode.
―So Adela wasn’t a member of the 5th circle from the beginning… … .
-yes. I got a small realization right after the match with Kyle Bentia and became a 5th circle user.
Dahlia’s pupils dilated to the point where they couldn’t get any bigger.
“You got an achievement right before the final? Unbelievable, how could it be accomplished at that timing… … .”
He burst out laughing with an expression of regret for the world.
* * *
After that, after breaking up with Dahlia, who was completely stunned.
I went straight back to the waiting room.
“I’m home.”
“Coming soon.”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon greeted me with a subtle expression.
Senior Hee-yoon values cheering as much as he values harmony among team members.
That’s why I don’t think I’ll like it very much for visiting the hospital at an important game.
Although the target of the visit was the blue mage tower lord, I couldn’t say anything openly.
“I’m here? How is the blue mage tower lord?”
Soon-chan came next.
“They say it will take some time to heal.”
“how much?”
“At least 15 days.”
“… … omg. You were really hurt.”
“right. Fortunately, there will be no aftereffects.”
“Ah, that’s good.”
Sunchan let out a sigh of relief.
“You heard the news of the final, right?”
“of course. I watched the match with the blue mage lord. Adela was completely overpowered? I got a little goosebumps from the last moonlight.”
“Big. I’m tired. You should have seen that scene in person.”
Sunchan laughed and patted my back.
“The audience goes silent in an instant, and the thrill… … . Really, just thinking about it again gives me goosebumps.”
Soonchan rubbed his forearm, which was covered in chicken meat.
Senior Jin Hee-yoon approached Sun-chan, who was making a fuss.
“Sasha. Anyone who sees it will know that you won.”
He even pats his back hard.
slap! The sound rang out excitedly.
“Ah, sister! sick!”
“Don’t be rude. tanker. It didn’t even hit that hard.”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon patted Soon-chan on the back again.
The sound is very tight.
“sick! My sister’s hands are really spicy!”
“Uh huh. This is all training to improve your stamina.”
“No, I’m not even a knight, so what kind of physical strength is this… … . Ahh!”
Sunchan twisted his body.
It was a desperate squid movement that showed the will to avoid being slapped at all costs.
“Ugh. There is no such thing as a complete thug. is not it?”
Senior Ma Jin-seok came up behind me.
I look at senior Jin Hee-yoon, who is excitedly tapping Soon-chan on the back, as if the world is pathetic.
“You don’t do that later. The real shame of the 3rd grade is all alone.”
“Is there such a thing as disgrace? You’re doing that because you’re close.”
It’s not like Sun-chan doesn’t like it as much. To begin with, I’m a kid who likes jokes like that.
“sick! It really hurts!”
“Uh hee hee.”
… … is not it.
I think I really hate it this time.
“I’m home.”
In the midst of that, Soon-chan desperately avoids Hee-yoon.
After the interview, Adela entered the waiting room.
His face is full of fatigue, as if he was tired from being baptized with questions from reporters.
“oh. Our index is here.”
Senior Hee-yoon immediately lost interest in Soon-chan and ran to Adela.
“great job. our index. Are you good at interviews?”
The eyes looking at Adela are full of affection.
It was completely different from when he met Soonchan.
“… … against discrimination.”
Looking at such senior Jin Hee-yoon, Soon-chan spat out a word timidly.
“ok? What did you say?”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon’s eyes shone brightly. She lifts her palms at the same time. It was her unspoken threat to say one more word.
“no! They said they look good together, like sisters!”
Soon-chan rubbed his aching back and shouted.
“Ohh. Our Sunchan has eyes to see.”
“thank you!”
His restrained movements, like those of a soldier with military discipline, stood out.
‘… … It really hurt.’
that violent reaction.
It seems that Hee-yoon sunbaenim’s hands are really spicy.
“How was the injury of the blue mage tower lord?”
Adela came to me while being hugged by senior Hee-yoon.
Now, Adela seems to have given up on preventing Hee-yoon sunbae’s skinship, and it seems to be so.
“They say it will take about 15 days to be discharged, but there won’t be any aftereffects.”
I lightly talked about what happened in the hospital.
Everything from the condition of the blue mage lord to how highly the blue mage lord praised Adela.
Except for the story of the Black Magic Tower, he confessed everything without adding or subtracting.
“… … It’s a little embarrassing. It’s not even an achievement I got on my own.”
Adela smiles bitterly and glances at me.
As much as it was achieved through the power of the elixir I gave it, it felt strange.
“huh? Jisoo Isn’t it an achievement you got with your own strength? Then, by whom did you achieve this achievement?”
Senior Hee-yoon tilted his head while hugging Adela.
I didn’t tell my teammates about the elixir.
It was natural to question that statement.
“… … It’s nothing.”
Adela denied it with a sad expression.
As much as they decided to keep the elixir a secret, Adela’s words earlier were a mistake.
“… … Hmmm?”
Senior Hee-yoon stared into Adela’s face.
A suspicious expression.
Adela desperately avoided Jin Hee-yoon’s gaze.
Hee-yoon sunbaenim’s eyes narrowed even more at the avoidance of suspicious glances.
“Ahang.”
about 10 seconds like that.
Senior Jin Hee-yoon, who was staring straight at Adela’s face, smiled smirkingly, as if realizing something.
“I mean. Is it the power of love?”
And then he said something out of the ordinary.
“… … What power is it?”
Adela is dumbfounded.
“The day I broke the wall of realization. It kept getting caught that the new leader was always by my side. It was like that. If that’s the case, I understand. Because love is an all-powerful energy with infinite power.”
“… … sister?”
“Obviously, the two of them holding hands and relying on each other… … Hehe.”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon entered the realm of delusion beyond imagination.
“… … .”
Adela looked at her with a bewildered expression.
A look that is too tired to say anything.
It was a look that showed how much Adela was usually suffering from senior Hee-yoon.
“Ugh. That nuisance lump.”
Senior Ma Jin-seok shook his head. Her motive, Jin Hee-yoon, is genuinely ashamed.
“hey. Imagination in moderation… … .”
The moment Ma Jin-seok was about to spit out a word.
“Let the small talk stop there. It is time to move slowly.”
Kang Shin-woo, who had been silent all along in the waiting room, approached us.
“Ah, yes. I’ll get the equipment.”
Soon-chan moved quickly and brought three bags that were standing on one side of the wall.
It was a backpack for competitions containing the rations to be used in the labyrinth exploration.
“Seniors. Here it is. ruler. here. yours too.”
Soonchan handed one bag to senior Shinwoo and another to me.
“thank you.”
I was handed a backpack and slung it over one shoulder.
“Then I’ll come back with a win easily.”
I said that for the last time and left the waiting room with Kang Shin-woo and Soon-chan.
