“Oh my, they said it was a school and it’s true! “Do you have school uniforms?”
“of course.”
“I heard the story… . “Are you serious?”
“I don’t play around with things involving kids.”
“That’s natural.”
Kim Chae-min smiled.
Kim Chae-min, wearing a bright dress to match the sunny weather, meticulously put on a parasol and walked along the vacant lot alongside Hong Seok-young.
Hong Seok-young introduced every nook and cranny of the pilot high school to Kim Chae-min, like a principal bragging about how outstanding the students at our school are in the scholarship hall. Now that I think about it, he is the principal.
… I don’t know what they’re bragging about when they only have three containers.
“Hunter Hong told me to come, but… .”
“Have you considered my offer?”
“Are you asking that first?”
Kim Chae-min smiled slightly.
“You can teach children simple ways to use magic power, but you know that anything beyond that is difficult, right?”
“You don’t have any disciples?”
“Yes, but… .”
Kim Chae-min saw two young wizards sitting on a parasol and glancing in this direction, pretending not to be there.
“Other magic is the same, but my magic especially has to have the right properties. But those two friends don’t seem to have any aptitude for this.”
“Can you see that right away?”
“If you get to that level, if you pretend, you’ll pretend.”
Kim Chae-min pointed to Park Seo-hyun.
“And that girl is Teacher Park No-kyung’s granddaughter, right? “Then you probably already know a lot of magic.”
“Seohyun? But he’s still an inexperienced wizard. I don’t know how to teach wizards… .”
“In that child’s case, there isn’t much I can teach him. “As long as you have at least the know-how to use horsepower.”
“I would be grateful if you could just do that.”
Kim Chae-min shook her head with an expression that said she couldn’t stop him.
“They said it was related to the ark… . “You called me to school for this, right?”
“Isn’t good something good? And it’s not like it’s not related.”
Seokyoung Hong looked at me. Kim Chae-min, who only then realized my presence, opened her eyes round.
“uh! It’s him, right? “He was the one standing on the rooftop at that time!”
“Ah yes. hello.”
“Oh my, why were you there? furthermore… Do you work here?”
“… That’s how it happened. “My name is Woo Hee-jae, and I’m teaching those kids over there.”
“Those kids… ?”
Kim Chae-min tilted his head. Probably because I pointed to the wizard sitting on the parasol.
“excuse me… . Wizard… Are you here? In Myeongdong, a sword… ? “Aren’t you holding it?”
To be exact, it’s not like using a sword. However, while swords and spears have something in common, magic is a completely different field.
“Teacher Wu is not a wizard.”
Seokyoung Hong joined in with a grin.
… I feel uneasy for some reason. Why are you smiling like that?
“yes? So how do you make a wizard… “What do you teach?”
Chaemin Kim looked at me and the young wizard in turn with a confused look on his face. I also couldn’t figure out Hong Seok-young’s intentions, so I stayed quiet.
Hong Seok-young laughed even more sinisterly.
“Teacher Wu knows something even greater.”
“more… “Is it something great?”
“okay. “Something only wizards can do.”
Kim Chae-min’s eyes get bigger.
“Are you talking about unique magic?!”
It’s true that only wizards can do that, but… .
Hong Seok-young did not answer and just smiled mischievously.
It’s fun to watch, even if it’s not great when I’m in trouble.
I was planning on releasing it anyway, so I told Hong Seok-young to use it if he wanted to. But he didn’t expect that he would directly summon the wizard to use it.
I didn’t know.
hmm.
good night. Okay. It’s not bad.
A crisis soon becomes an opportunity.
Even so, Kim Chae-min is the name at the top of my list. Since he had no way to contact him right away, he just tried to focus on Park Seo-hyun in front of him.
I would just be grateful if you suddenly gave me this hug.
Also, did we mention the ark? I think he’s one of the hunters they called, but being an archmage is enough.
Wait, is this something we can look forward to more?

I’m sure Kim Chae-min wasn’t the only one who called. There’s more, right? The rest are all accomplished hunters, right?
“It’s not native magic.”
I corrected Kim Chae-min’s misunderstanding before it grew any further.
“I am teaching runes to those children.”
“… Runes?”
Kim Chae-min broke down and rattled.
Considering Rune’s current status, you can tell Kim Chae-min’s personality just by not openly ridiculing him.
This too passes.
Personality is important.
“uh… . Hey, Hunter Hong isn’t a wizard either, so you might not know… .”
Look at how they try to hide their words and avoid being hurt. This is the example of a true hunter.
“Runes are trash?”
“Oh, no! “It’s not even trash!”
But it’s not that useful.
I shrugged my shoulders. You might think so.
“I guess it would be quick to show you. for a moment… . Park Seo-hyun! Jinwoo Choi!”
Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo looked up in surprise.
“Bring what you drew.”
They both hurriedly picked up the papers scattered on the parasol table.
Park Seo-hyun, who used to feel awkward, is now getting her runes confirmed by me often. Sometimes, when our eyes meet, I get a little startled, but… .
I later understood Park Seo-hyun’s strange reaction at first. Did he say he grew up in a family with grandparents? It seems that his grandfather was stingy with praise. Besides, don’t I feel awkward giving compliments?
It’s understandable that awkward people are doing something like that, so it’s embarrassing.
If you keep praising her from now on, Park Seo-hyun will get used to it.
“this… “Is it a rune?”
Kim Chae-min was surprised to see the runes the two people brought.
The runes that Chaemin Kim knows now are in a primitive form.
However, the runes of the kind French archmage that I taught my children are extravagant, complex, and bizarre.
I selected a few of them and gave short feedback to the children.
“Choi Jin-woo, this is what you drew, right? They told me to fix the lengthening of this part. “It shouldn’t become a habit.”
“yes.”
“Park Seo-hyun. you… ”
compliment! compliment!!!!
“good job. I can see that the level of completion is gradually increasing. But I think I said it this morning too. Be confident in the line.”
“yes yes… .”
Continuous rune is question number 1 on the Hunter Academy’s Rune Introduction midterm exam. The introductory rune course has not changed even once since it was created. It is such an important rune.
I didn’t think I could draw a rune with this much perfection in a week. If you listen to what Seungyeon Lee said, did you say that he practices hard even after school?
It’s not good if a wizard focuses too much on runes. A wizard’s main job is magic.
Well, they are still children.
“Everything drawn is a passing grade. Just pay attention to what I just said. “Then shall we check?”
“yes!”
The children responded energetically. Chaemin Kim asked in confusion next to him.
“What are you checking? What rune is this? This is my first time seeing such complicated runes… .”
“Wait a moment, Kim Hunter.”
The students who had been training scattered around the vacant lot, probably having become accustomed to the wizards’ rune classes over the past few days, naturally headed to a corner and took their seats.
Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo placed the runes they drew on the floor.
Choi Jin-woo moved his hands quickly. It is one of the common magics. It’s a magic that creates a spark and starts a fire. All you have to do is add a few formulas… .
Grumble!
… You can create a pillar of fire very easily.
“What is it? Why the fire!”
The only one who is embarrassed is Kim Chae-min.
The floor where the runes were placed is burning brightly. Since it is an ordinary fire, there is no one here who can get hurt except by hunters.
Next is Park Seo-hyun.
Seohyun Park’s formula is much shorter. However, it does not lag behind in power.
Water falls on the fire that Choi Jin-woo lit. What was a small drop at first soon becomes a torrential rain. The water that had accumulated on the floor became a wave and swept away the fire in the vacant lot.
In an empty space engulfed in fire and water, paper with runes drawn on it is scattered everywhere.
I snapped my fingers. Choi Jin-woo and Park Seo-hyun quickly collected the runes.
“next.”
Choi Jin-woo and Park Seo-hyun stuffed the dripping runes into their uniform pockets. Usually, runes get damaged when you do this.
but.
“Uh, huh? Now, wait a minute!”
Choi Jin-woo and Park Seo-hyun created a small light at their fingertips. The sphere that glowed like a firefly was so bright that it was difficult to tell whether it was glowing or not.
But it’s magic.
Magic uses magical power.
So, you should feel the magic of Choi Jin-woo and Park Seo-hyun.
“what? Why horsepower? how? “How did you do it?!”
However, the two did not feel an ounce of magical power.
Hong Seok-young chuckled and took the rune paper out of Choi Jin-woo’s pocket. Kim Chae-min’s eyes, which seemed like they couldn’t get any bigger, grew even bigger.
“that? that is?!”
“It’s a rune.”
“Rune?”
“Teacher Wu called it the Magic Shield Rune.”
“Magic shield?”
“okay. “Performance exactly as the name suggests.”
“… … .”
Kim Chae-min took the rune paper from Hong Seok-young’s hand. Although it was heavily crumpled, the rune itself was not erased. Kim Chae-min stared at the paper with a scared face.
And then he saw me.
“excuse me… Heejae Woo, you said? “Did Woo Hee-jae make this?”
“no. “It was made by someone I know.”
“… … … Still, Woo Hee-jae knew about it and taught it to the kids, right?”
“Yes.”
“Teach… Do you know any other runes? Something similar to this?”
“The effects are different, but I know it.”
Kim Chae-min looked alternately at the rune paper, my face, Hong Seok-young, and the two wizards’ faces.
“Hunter Hong.”
“huh?”
“I said it was a school here.”
“hmm.”
“Are you accepting new students?”
“… … Hmm?”
Hong Seok-young blinked his eyes blankly.
Kim Chae-min grabbed Hong Seok-young by the collar.
“I want to enroll here.”
“Huh?”
“Then I can learn those runes too?”
“Huh?”
* * *
“No, I didn’t know it would be this effective.”
Seokyoung Hong poured a cup of mixed coffee in a paper cup and handed it to me.
“So you were aiming for it?”
“of course. “If I want to use it in a dungeon, I need a truly trustworthy wizard, and Hunter Kim is perfect.”
“You didn’t think you were suitable to teach wizards because you didn’t have any students?”
“That wasn’t the case either.”
The effect was just too good.
I have nothing against it. It’s as if a pumpkin rolled up on a vine and fell into my arms on its own. Why are you objecting?
On the contrary, things are going so well that I’m almost worried. Usually, when everything goes well like this, something goes wrong somewhere.
Hong Seok-young handed out several pieces of paper to Kim Chae-min, who was still staring at the rune paper next to me. The phrase written at the top catches my eye.
Employment contract.
Of course, we couldn’t accept Kim Chae-min as a new student, so she joined as a magic teacher.
… Is that slave contract something even a great wizard can’t avoid?
“Kim Hunter. “Read this and tell me if there’s anything you want to change.”
I didn’t say anything like that.
“Kim Hunter? Kim Chaemin Hunter?”
“… … yes? Oh, it’s okay. All you have to do is let me take that rune class. Or Heejae draw one rune for me.”
“What about salary or something?”
“Hey, it’s not like I’m in need of money. are you okay. “It’s going to cost a lot of money to teach these kids, so put some money into it.”
… … ?
“Is it still okay?”
“Heejae, no, Teacher Woo just needs to teach me the runes.”
“okay? “Then please take care of me, Mr. Wu.”
“… … .”
I sighed and took a gulp of mixed coffee.
Let’s think of it all as an investment for the future.
If not at a time like this, when would I ever consider having an archmage as an apprentice?
“Please take care of me!”
“… … i look forward to.”
No, if this is going to happen, shouldn’t we have to negotiate the salary again? What on earth do you mean my classes are in lieu of salary?
Then give me his salary!
