― Ah, that’s… I know it’s rude, but all I can think about is my teacher… .
I thought about it calmly.
Without complicated and cumbersome settings, such as a poor civil servant from the future or a righteous whistleblower from a pseudo-organization.
Just an ordinary hunter… If you are a D-class hunter. If you are a teacher.
What would happen if a student who was good and exemplary enough to volunteer at a Dungeon Break victims’ group trembled and asked for help?
A proper adult would take pity on him and try to help him, right?
“Calm down… “Would you like to tell me what’s going on?”
I lowered my voice and spoke slowly.
To instill as much trust as possible.
But even if I don’t do this, No. 3 will trust me.
On the contrary, no matter what bullshit No. 3 says, I will pretend to help him.
Isn’t this the secret to making everyone a winner?
– That’s it… .
Number 3, who hesitated for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
― I, go, awaken… .
What did he just say?
Awakening? You said it was an awakening, right?
– I woke up, but… Every time I grab something, it breaks… I made a mistake and my younger siblings got hurt, so… I don’t know what to do with this… .
“hmm. okay. But… .”
My head spins.
No. 3… Awakening?
Was number 3 originally awakened?
I don’t know. I haven’t seen No. 3 since he graduated from the lab. He hadn’t even heard the news.
As twenty years have passed, my memories may have changed. However, I clearly remember that issue 3 was a failure. In the first place, I was the only one who could say the experiment was successful. At least it was only half.
― Then I thought of the teacher… . You said it was Hunter City. Ugh, ah, can’t I do this?
“no it’s okay.”
Still, if he had a brain and could think, he wouldn’t lie about his awakening against Hunter.
It would be too far-fetched to think that No. 3 has awakened now due to good timing.
Well, it doesn’t matter when the awakening occurred.
“Where are you right now? “The teacher will be there as soon as possible.”
– Really?
“You said you would help. “I won’t say it twice.”
– Then, uh, I’ll send you the address via text. Thank you so much. I really don’t know what to do… .
Number 3 spoke in gibberish a few more times. I managed to hold on to my patience that was about to fail and calmly soothed him.
“Because it’s okay… . okay. I’ll be going soon.”
at las. I hung up.
I stared at my phone. I think you can use this well if you do it well. What should I do. How do I… .
For some reason, my face stings.
I raised my head and made eye contact with Kim Chae-min. Kim Chae-min put down the rose she was holding in her hand. The table is full of roses.
Kim Chae-min smiled.
“Are we finished talking?”
“… … .”
“… what. Why is your expression like that? “Didn’t it go well?”
I blinked.
“Didn’t you hear?”
Of course I thought you were listening.
Kim Chae-min responded with a sober expression.
“I’m not the kind of person who steals and listens to private phone calls.”
“No, it’s not a private call, but I’m just listening.”
But that doesn’t mean you can tell them why they aren’t answering the phone.
I touched my chin and opened my mouth.
“No. 3 told an interesting story.”
“Interesting story?”
“What do you mean he woke up?”
Kim Chae-min’s hand, which was picking out rose petals, stopped.
“… Awakening?”
“Isn’t the timing really amazing?”
“Iknow, right. Awakening at this time… .”
Chaemin Kim opened his eyes wide and blankly followed what I said. I snapped my fingers in front of Kim Chae-min’s eyes to tell her to come to her senses.
Perfect!
“yes?”
“Could it be that you have awakened now? “She wouldn’t have lied to Hunter about her awakening, so she might have tried to hide her awakening in the past.”
Kim Chae-min put her hands together, holding the flower petals she had picked. As I was watching him wondering what on earth he was doing, he smiled mischievously and spread his hands.
There is a small magic crystal in the palm of your hand. On a warm spring day, light green vines as soft as newly sprouted buds are coiled like snakes.
Kim Chae-min carefully stroked the leaves with her fingertips.
“But isn’t it illegal not to register as an awakened person?”
“It’s not illegal as long as no one knows he’s awakened.”

“That’s it. Yes. Yes. “I guess so.”
Crystallization of magical power may seem simple, but it is a highly difficult technique. It is one of the things used to judge the abilities of wizards.
really… If I don’t have anything to do, I go to the kids who care so much and comfort them.
It’s not that I don’t understand why Kim Chae-min is doing this. Isn’t an archmage who has been hooked by runes and is providing free labor at a rural school without a proper building?
Kim Chae-min, who initially said that all she could teach was basic magic management techniques, now seemed to be quite sincere towards the children. This is why people don’t know how to live their lives.
Actually, I am learning the runes that Kim Chae-min was aiming for by looking at the notes I organized for the presentation.
Since I didn’t say I would teach you, you have nothing to worry about. Kim Chae-min… It was Hong Seok-young who dragged him into the den of evil.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Kim Chae-min put her hands together again. The magic crystal was completely shattered. The transparent powder sparkled and dispersed before disappearing into the air.
The delivery of the call ended quickly. Anyway, most of it was to appease No. 3, and the conclusion is simple.
I woke up. I’m looking for you.
Tiring!
Just then, my cell phone rang lightly.
Number 3 sent the address. It starts in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do and ends with an orphanage.
I turned on the map and checked the exact location. The distance is strangely close. I wondered if they even changed where they stayed… Didn’t you volunteer at a lecture at the National New Mind Spiritual Association in Suwon? This must really be a coincidence. It was a good thing for No. 3 or the person who gave the order to No. 3.
“Do you need to go here?”
Chaemin Kim asked while peeking at my phone screen.
“But Teacher Woo, you don’t have a license, right? “How are you going to get there?”
I saw Kim Chae-min. With the thought of “Why are you asking such a question?”
Fortunately, Kim Chae-min narrowed her eyebrows as if my feelings were conveyed.
“Are you asking me to take you there now?”
I laughed without saying anything.
“Ask the multi-line hunters!”
“I think it would be much more effective if Teacher Kim takes you there. “Mr. Hong is your employer, so even if that’s the case, you have to show that you are so well-connected that the Grand Wizard will take you to him directly.”
I saw Kim Chae-min’s sports car in the corner of the playground.
“But my colleague is in the hospital and it’s not that color. “Let’s just borrow a car from some hunters.”
“really!”
However, Kim Chae-min suddenly became quiet.
… Honestly, I thought you were going to complain more?
When I look at Kim Chae-min out of curiosity, I see her with a blank expression on her face and her mouth wide open.
“Mr. Kim?”
“I got a good idea.”
“yes?”
Kim Chae-min’s eyes sparkle to the point of uneasiness.
“No. 3, wow, I don’t want to call you that. “You said you were a student Taewoo Kang, right?”
“I don’t know if that’s your real name.”
“You said that student Kang Tae-woo has awakened, right?”
“I don’t know when I woke up.”
“Let’s leave such trivial issues aside. “Anyway, Student Tae-Woo asked for help because he was having a hard time controlling his power, right?”
“Okay… Right?”
I was just wondering if I should go and register as an awakened person. There is nothing great about controlling one’s power after awakening. Usually, you learn it instinctively within 24 hours of awakening.
However, I could not shake off my anxious feelings and looked at Kim Chae-min’s notice.
One thing I learned while living with him is that he suddenly raises his voice regardless of whether he is a good person or not? You should never listen to that opinion.
This is all advice that comes from life experience.
“Then let’s enroll Kang Tae-woo into the pilot high school!”
look. They say you should never listen to it.
“It’s not possible.”
“why! “I just woke up, so the conditions are perfect!”
“What conditions?!”
“Admission conditions!!”
“What nonsense?!”
Kim Chae-min huffed and breathed heavily. I held my head.
Chaemin Kim opened his mouth.
“It’s not possible.”
I spoke faster than that. A container was seen behind Kim Chae-min. A dull gray container with lots of scribbles drawn on by children with paint and markers. There are eight students in it. No, nine people including Yoo Ji-eun.
Young children who are worried about their principal and want to become good hunters in the future.
“Why did I separate Yoo Ji-eun from the ark?”
“Mr. Wu… .”
“When I said that the easiest way to access the Ark was to use Yu Ji-eun, Teacher Kim was also against it. “It’s dangerous.”
I didn’t even think about trying for the same reason. The management office did not have enough manpower to hire minors for this kind of work.
No, because the management office no longer exists… .
My humanity is not bad.
“But are we going to invite the humans from the Ark to the school? It’s not possible. never. Are you crazy? “Do you know what No. 3 will do?”
“But that’s the surest way.”
Kim Chae-min said stubbornly.
“I heard that student Kang Tae-woo was with Teacher Woo’s younger brother. At that training center. No, is it a research lab?”
“… … .”
“Either we should catch student Taewoo and investigate…” “No matter what you do, you’ll be able to get a clue about the children in that lab.”
Kim Chae-min added that although she did not feel comfortable doing such a thing with a child, she could understand the issue as it was a serious issue.
“You don’t know where those children are or how they are doing now. Hunter Lee is mainly investigating daycare centers, children’s hospitals and support groups connected to the National New Mind Spiritual Association, but she doesn’t know how long it will take. “There is no guarantee that she will be found.”
At this point, I had a hunch.
“So, if you want to attract a child who has even the slightest connection, this is the best method. Simple and simple. “It’s fast.”
I was caught in the trap I set. The moment she brought up her younger brother in that lab, and the moment before that when she stated that her motive was to save her younger brother.
When the word ‘younger brother’ comes up, I don’t have the right to veto.
You came all this way for your younger brother, but now you’re trying to stop yourself?
That doesn’t make sense.
“And if he was in the lab too… If it was called No. 3, it was a test subject, right? Your parents might be looking for you. “I have to take you to my parents.”
“… “That’s not it.”
“How do you know?”
“No. 3 was born in a research lab. He is the child of a researcher there. “He is a child who has been part of the ark since he was born.”
“No way, your own child?”
I nodded. I suddenly felt tired.
There is no justification to reject Kim Chae-min’s words. Even though I knew I would lose, I pulled out a last resort.
“… “Let’s ask Teacher Hong.”
Hong Seok-young, who said he was bored to death while wasting time at the hospital, immediately received a call.
– hmm? No. 3? Did you get a call? Didn’t I tell you that I could take care of it myself?
“That’s it.”
The explanation was short and clear.
– what? Let’s enroll him?
Seokyoung Hong burst into laughter. Damn, I knew this guy would come out like this.
– That sounds fun! Okay, so it’s not admission time, so yeah. Must be a transfer student. Haha, a transfer student. It’s slowly becoming more like a school!
If you wanted something like a school, two dropouts would have been enough.
Listening to Hong Seok-young’s laughter, I accepted my fate.
