Episode 284
Late at night, 12 o’clock.
Kim Deok-hyeon and Jeong Hyeon-su returned to the special task force after completing Silvers’ long investigation.
As the lights came on in the dark, empty space, the two sat down on the sofa.
Jeong Hyeon-su placed the beer and chicken skewers he had bought on his way here on the table.
Kim Deok-hyeon opened a can of beer and took a sip.
“I worked hard until late at night.”
“You worked hard too. “But today there was a big harvest, so the hard work was worth it.”
Jeong Hyeon-su put a chicken skewer in his mouth.
Mouth-watering sweetness spread through my mouth, blowing away all my fatigue.
“I got a bigger harvest than I expected… … “I was left with many questions.”
What was obtained through this Silvers eradication operation was extremely valuable information that could not be obtained with any other treasure in the world.
The next terrorist attack site in Jawoon.
Being able to find out the next steps of those who usually leave no traces was a golden opportunity that would never occur again.
“But isn’t there a possibility of a trap?”
“It can’t be ruled out. But according to the spell interpretation team, it’s not a spell that can be created after a day or two of research. It’s more likely to be real. But more importantly, why did Mine join hands with Ja-woon? Finding that out would be a priority.”
“Hmm…
Jeong Hyeon-su, who was lost in thought like that,
I mainly wet my throat and then opened my mouth again.
“When will the interpretation team release the results of the magic barrier information?”
“One week at the earliest. They said it would take about a month at most. “Anyway, the magic analysis class was really surprised.”
“Ah, is it because Kim Seon-woo interpreted what the key was on the spot?”
“Yeah. That doesn’t make sense, it’s a natural talent. They were really surprised.”
Deokhyeon Kim recalled the fuss and fuss of the magic analysis team an hour ago.
Although I have been working in the special task force for 16 years, this is the first time I have seen the magic analysis team like that.
Jeong Hyeon-su also opened his mouth after recalling the performance of Kim Seon-woo that he had seen today.
“… … It’s definitely surprising. Kim Seon-woo, he was really active in addition to his interpretation of the spell. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he almost did a one-man show today. I’m saying this now, but if Kim Seon-woo hadn’t acted on his own, there’s a chance that we might have lost Antonio.”
“that’s right. All of this is thanks to Kim Sun-woo’s performance… …
Kim Deok-hyun, who was muttering like that, looked straight into Jeong Hyun-soo’s eyes.
Jeong Hyun-soo was momentarily taken aback by those serious eyes.
That’s because Deokhyun Kim’s eyes appeared when he was in deep doubt.
“And it was a long time ago, but now I am confident.”
“……Seniors?”
When Jeong Hyeon-su called softly, Kim Deok-hyeon opened his mouth.
“Do you think Kim Seon-woo’s performance today is normal?”
“It’s not something a newbie would do. John . . . . . . uh7”
Kim Deok-hyeon let out a frustrated sigh.
“I’ve said it before, but why are your thoughts so one-dimensional? “Looking at you, promotion is unlikely in the future.”
“Oh really!”
“Listen carefully. Antonio’s magic power level is A grade. However, he single-handedly neutralized that many enemies in a short period of time and captured Antonio.”
“… … Hmm? When you hear it like that, it certainly does sound strange.”
“On top of that, even though he hid himself with a human skin mask, they found him and arrested him right away. “There is no need to explain in words its incredible ability to conceal its presence.”
Hyeonsoo Jeong raised his upper body from half-lying position.
“Does that mean Kim Seon-woo is hiding something?”
“That’s highly likely. It’s true that her behavior is out of the ordinary.”
“It’s beyond common sense… …
Hyunsoo Jeong recalled the Kim Seonwoo he knew.
The ability to release nonsensical spells.
Versatile magical abilities.
Manifestation system, reinforcement system, auxiliary system.
Dual properties.
Perfect score for theory.
Combat experience.
19 years old.
Jeong Hyun-soo felt dizzy for a moment.
“… … Now that I think about it, it’s really strange. What is this person’s true identity?”
“For now, let’s bury today’s story and don’t ask questions from Kim Seon-woo for no reason.”
“Why? At times like this, you should be questioning me..”
“If you ask, will anything come out?”
Jeong Hyeon-su kept his mouth shut at Kim Deok-hyeon’s words.
Deokhyeon Kim emptied the beer can in his hand and said.
“Don’t raise your guard for no reason, just stay still. “I plan to quietly investigate separately.”
After muttering like that, he continued speaking.
“To become a member of the special task force,
Mutual trust is essential. It is right to resolve any issues that need to be resolved.”

“……What is it?”
12 o’clock at night.
After finishing their first special mission, they were returning to the dormitory of the Magic Academy with Lee Seo-jun and Yoo A-ra when a message suddenly came to mind.
It was none other than a message saying that Kim Deok-hyeon was suspicious of me.
I wonder what this is, so I sent a message
As I was looking, Yuara turned her gaze towards me.
“what’s the matter?”
“Huh? No, there was a mosquito flying around in front.”
Mosquito, fly away. I waved my hand in front of my eyes. Then the message rippled like a wave and disappeared.
Yua looked at me questioningly and then turned her gaze straight ahead again.
And so the silence continued again.
It was because Nana, Lee Seo-jun, and Yoo Ah-ra were not the type of people who enjoyed useless conversations.
And since ‘Jaun’ was involved in this incident, it seemed like each of us needed time to think.
That was when I passed through the main gate of the campus and walked to the dormitory.
Lee Seo-jun opened his mouth.
“Anyway, a lot has happened since the first day.”
Yoo Ah Ra nodded in agreement with Lee Seo Jun’s words.
“I know. Plus, it was an incident related to Zaun. “I never thought something like that would happen from day one.”
At Yoo Ah Ra’s words, Lee Seo Jun looked at her with deep eyes.
The ill feelings that Yuara has toward Jawoon.
She felt uncomfortable at the thought that her grudge might be related to herself, Jin Cheon-woo’s blood relative.
At that moment, Yuara suddenly turned her gaze towards me.
Although she has a pretty face, her serious expression makes her look scary.
“When I think about it, there’s something absurd about it.”
“what’?”
“Your performance today. It was something I would never have believed, but I felt it was so obvious.”
At those words, Seojun Lee also smiled slightly, as if the tension was relieved.
“Well, I’m used to it now.”
“No, I think he used to be somewhat aware of it, but now he acts blatantly without even noticing… …?”
It’s like acting blatantly without even noticing
What are you talking about now?
As I frowned in bewilderment for a moment, Yuara asked me again.
“Oh right. “The barrier contained in the spell earlier is the site of Zaun’s next terrorist attack, right?”
“uh… … Probably so. “We will know exactly what kind of barrier it is when the results come out.”
“Hmm. I wonder what kind of place it is. If possible, I’d like to go there too.”
Yuara muttered in a serious tone.
I smiled slightly instead of answering.
Even without magic, I already knew the location of Zaun’s next terrorist attack.
It is a very special space with a huge barrier.
It is the place with the most stringent security after the Wizards’ Guild, and is an impregnable fortress that absolutely does not allow entry to anyone who is not authorized.
And it is also a hidden place that will bring about a great change in future developments.
The identity is… … .
“We have arrived.”
Lee Seo-jun’s words woke me up from my reverie.
Before we knew it, we had arrived in front of the dormitory’s main gate.
“Thank you everyone for your hard work today.”
“Ugh, you too.”
“Kim Seon-woo.”
After saying our final goodbyes, we were about to return to our respective dormitories.
Yuara called me.
“Uh, why?”
Yoo Ah-ra looked at me intently and said,
I hit the dog.
“No. Let’s talk next time.”
A huge wasteland located somewhere on the African continent.
Crackling. The sound of a bonfire burning was heard.
The bones of giant monsters were piled up like a mountain nearby, and seven humans were sitting in a circle in front of a bonfire, eating meat.
“Hmm~ It’s a bit disappointing that it’s so salty.”
“Would you like some salt?”
“Hey, hey. Give it to me.”
Their identity is Zaun, which is said to be the world’s worst terrorist organization.
While tracking down the fourth journal entry and exploring the desert ruins for future plans, I took a short break.
At that time, while we were eating like that for a long time.
Intense magical energy swirled around them.
A moment later, smoke rose from the darkness and a man appeared.
The man’s identity was that of the underground event’s host, Ha-ryeong.
“Mine? “Why did he come again?”
Despite the sudden appearance of an S-class demon, Jaune showed no signs of surprise and concentrated on his meal.
This is because Haryeong and Jawoon temporarily formed an alliance through some kind of deal.
Bert and Natasha. And Baek Eun-seong stood up and approached Ha-ryeong.
“What brings you here?”
Haryeong answered Bert’s question.
“I came to tell you that Silvers has been rounded up by the Association.”
Jaun’s companions who were eating frowned at those words.
Silvers was an organization with a fairly important mission for Zaun.
Not only was he entrusted with raising funds for terrorism and manufacturing bombs, but he was also entrusted with ‘producing the key to unlock the barrier’ for the next terrorist attack.
“Hey! What happened? The fourth time.
“You promised to protect me in return for sharing your land!”
When Baek Eun-seong shouted, Ha-ryeong spoke.
“The opponent is the association. What did you think we could do about someone who you can’t do anything about? And this happened because you acted sloppily before we could even do anything.”
“Home home. that… …
Baek Eun-seong, who was speechless, kept his mouth shut. Then Bert crossed his arms and asked.
“You didn’t even have time to run away? Yes
I heard your friend was there. “They say it’s S-rank.”
“There was a variable.”
“What variable?”
“It’s Seonwoo Kim.”
«..2ha
Jaun and the others were silent for a moment when they heard the name Kim Seon-woo.
Kim Seon-woo.
It was a name I could never forget.
Because he was the arrogant guy who humiliated Jawoon with a one-sided deal during the finals of the Sungmu Festival.
Since that day, Jawoon has been unable to approach Kim Seonwoo because of the blood oath shackles.
“Haa… … It’s him again? But why is he there?”
“It’s a special training period. “I heard you joined the Seoul Special Task Force.”
When Natasha spoke, Baek Eun-seong opened his mouth as if he realized.
“Oh, I see. But he also subtly interferes at crucial moments. “I can’t go and kill him, really.”
The group of Jawoon all had an annoyed expression on their faces.
Haryeong felt puzzled when he saw them like that.
Normally, it would be normal to ask what power a mere teenager could have to become a variable, but he immediately showed an attitude of agreement.
Moreover, unlike Zaun, there seemed to be no will to retaliate.
“What happened with Kim Sun-woo?”
“… … Home, home. You don’t need to know that.”
Jaune kept his mouth shut because he didn’t want to reveal the humiliation of the blood oath to others.
At that Natasha scratched her head nervously.
“Ah-oh! “I think even the key drawings were taken over by the association, so we’re in big trouble.”
“Okay. The difficulty level has increased a bit… no, quite a bit, but I expected this kind of situation to some extent. It doesn’t change our plans.”
Natasha nodded as if resigned to Bert’s words.
At that time, Baek Eun-seong smiled and said.
“But, if they wait in advance, will Kim Seon-woo come to stop us?”
“Hmm. Isn’t that more likely? Because it’s the Seoul Special Forces Team.”
Then Baek Eun-seong smiled faintly.
“Really? That’s better. If he interferes with us, this damned blood oath will be broken.”
“… … Ugh, I’m dying.”
When I returned to the dorm, I collapsed on the sofa.
Maybe it’s because I worked overtime from the first day, but I’m mentally unstable.
Fatigue was building up.
Although I will receive overtime pay, it is a meaningless amount to me, who has already accumulated enough wealth.
I glanced at the floor and saw Gretel lying on the floor, snoring in her sleep.
Seeing him sleeping soundly brought me peace of mind for a moment.
I blankly looked up at the ceiling and thought about the events of the day.
The first thing that came to mind was ‘Seonhwa’, a demon that appeared in Silvers.
It is still a mystery why it was there.
According to her, it was Ha-ryeong’s request… … .
However, even in the original work, Ha-ryeong and Ja-un had no such contact.
“what……
Something that can be said to be a connection between Jawoon and Haryeong… … .
Then something occurred to me.
There was only one connection between the two.
This is Jin Cheon-woo’s ‘Fourth Journal’.
If the ‘Fourth Journal’, which did not appear in the original work, is related, it is somewhat understandable that the two joined hands.
“Hmm. “What on earth did it contain that made Ha-ryeong hold his hand?”
From what I remember, Haryeong rarely held hands with anyone.
It was because I was very suspicious and not a person who trusted others.
I think I’ll have to meet with the Ppaelli Haryeong…
I’m wondering how we should meet.
“and……
There was one more incident that confused me today.
This is the ‘Record Archive’ of the 24th floor of the Association.
In order to obtain the ‘Spirit Materialization Technique’, you must enter the archive.
However, since there is CCTV, it seems difficult to get through.
Of course, if I were an ordinary association person, I would go in and out like I was going to the library.
That may be true, but the problem is that a record of your viewing remains.
If you can fool the CCTV, everything else can be solved using the benefits of outsiders.
How to disable CCTV… … .
There is one way.
I took out the ‘blue condensate’ from subspace.
[Blue Condensed Core (Relic)]
Description: Paralyzes surrounding electronic devices.
[Usage Effect]
►Emission
Inject magical power into the ‘Blue Condensation Core’ to paralyze all electronic devices within 1km for 30 minutes.
*Reuse waiting period: 30 days
Durability: B
This is a relic obtained after defeating Zhang Ye last year.
I haven’t used it much since I have no use for it, but I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give it a try in the current situation.
The problem is that the scope of use is too wide and the association can be immediately noticed due to the unique electromagnetic waves.
“If you use this, the association will notice right away.”
In the first place, the association would not be so easy as to be neutralized by a single relic like this.
“Sniff.”
Isn’t there something like a mystery that specializes in infiltration?
If you search the point shop, you might find something… … .
“ah……
Then an amazing idea occurred to me.
How to get mysteries without using the point shop.
This is using the 10-time mystery rental ticket received from Chairman Han Dae-hyun.
Hansungga uses the power and money they have to collect mysteries spread all over the world.
I have done it.
If you look carefully, there will definitely be at least one mystery that can help you infiltrate… … .
Tiring!
Just then, a message alarm rang on my smartphone.
There aren’t many people who would contact me on their smartphone at this late hour.
I immediately checked the message.
At the same time, a smile appeared on my lips.
[Jinwoo, will I be able to see you soon?]
The sender was Han Se-yeon.
