Episode 389
Sunday at 1pm.
After finishing up my work with the blacksmith in Busan, I returned to the dormitory and had a serious conversation with Gretel.
It was because I had become curious about the magic tree fruit that was said to have been sold at the market 200 years ago, which I had heard from Han Se-yeon this morning.
“Gretel. Does Gretel have a family?”
“Mites.”
And Gretel’s only answer to my question was ‘Woong-ae’.
Of course, even I, who can understand all foreign languages thanks to the benefit of an outsider, cannot interpret a baby’s cry.
“Gretel. Nod or shake your head to answer me.”
Gretel shook her head at my words. Shaking your head means you have no family.
“You don’t have any family?”
But again, Gretel shook her head.
what. It’s not like I have a family or not.
“You don’t know if you have a family or not?”
“Woong-ae.”
Gretel nodded this time.
“Hmm. “You don’t know.”
I realized anew that I knew absolutely nothing about Gretel.
I didn’t even know these basic things
Because
By the way, I don’t even know if you have a family or not.
Gretel’s cries can be heard clearly today.
“Then Gretel, do you remember the world you originally lived in?”
As the name ‘Demon World’ suggests, Gretel is most likely a creature that lived in a world called the Demon World.
I couldn’t imagine exactly what kind of world it was, but I was curious so I asked.
“Mites.”
Gretel nodded to my question.
“You remember.”
Gretel’s hometown… … What kind of world would it be? When you say the Demon World, a dark and gloomy world comes to mind.
By the way, Gretel is in a similar situation to me.
Seeing that I was summoned to an unfamiliar world and unable to return home.
“Do you ever want to go back to your hometown?”
Gretel looked thoughtful.
Then he shook his head.
Fortunately, he seems to be satisfied with his life now.
And for some reason, that answer gave me peace of mind.
I was worried that he might resent me for summoning him.
“Mites.”
Then Gretel said to me.
Is it because of the effect of [Bond]?
The meaning of Gretel’s words was conveyed to me.
“Do you like being with me?”
“Whoa!”
Gretel nodded.
When I saw that sight, a smile naturally appeared on my lips.
“Gretel~ I like being with Gretel too.”
I grabbed Gretel’s torso and lifted her up lightly. Gretel laughs excitedly.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
If I go back to reality, how can I leave him alone?
I felt a little depressed for a moment, but I quickly erased it from my mind.
“Hello! Chief! How was your day today… Mr. Sword?”
Monday morning. Hansung Pharmaceutical headquarters.
As soon as Han Se-yeon left for work, people around her looked surprised when they saw the sword demon standing next to her.
Han Se-yeon said with a soft smile.
“I’ll say hello. This is Jang Su-gi, who will be my escort from today. “You know me well without having to introduce you, right?”
“… … Ah! Of course I know! Aren’t you the swordsman who is famous for the sword of Hanseongga? Haha.”
The pharmaceutical team leader looked up at the swordsman, sweat dripping down his face.
Sharp impression and height close to 2m.
Just meeting his gaze made my heart pound with fear.
The swordsman looked down at the man in front of him and said.
“I will leave it up to you. “As of today, I am in charge of escorting the young lady.”
The tone was stiff. But there was at least a modicum of courtesy.
And in response to his greeting, the team leader bowed his head almost touching the ground.
“We are the ones who need your help!”
After briefly greeting the employees, Han Se-yeon and Geom-gwi entered the headquarters office.
“It’s been a while since you’ve been to work. How are you feeling?”
When Han Se-yeon smiled slightly and said,
Ga chuckled.

“It was noisier than I expected, but it brought back old memories and was nice.”
“It’s just getting started. There’s going to be a bigger commotion later today.”
It was not a simple matter for the Sword Demon to be in charge of escorting Han Se-yeon.
Because he, along with Han Dae-hyeon, is a living history and a major pillar of the Hansung family, and at the same time is highly respected, and supports Han Se-yeon as the next president.
This news will probably be spread to the media in an instant, and there will be numerous articles published thereafter.
will pour out.
Han Se-yeon smiled slightly and walked out the window.
He didn’t expect it, but things are going well for him.
I guess all of this is thanks to Jinwoo.
Thinking back, I realized that I received so much help in just one short day.
“… … “What does this person do?”
Jinwoo Kim knows too much information.
The events of last week made that feeling even stronger.
Han Se-jin’s secret. And the secret of the swordsman.
These were not things that could be known simply by having good information.
And his reasoning was slowly turning into conviction.
That Jinwoo Kim is a regressor from the future.
Perhaps the reason he works so hard is to prevent something from happening in the future.
I can’t yet predict what that something will be.
Han Se-yeon took out the key from her arms.
It was a key that would reveal the secrets of the world, obtained from my father’s study.
“Mister Sugi.”
When Han Se-yeon turned around and called out, Geom-gwi nodded.
“Yes, Miss.”
“Do you know what this key is for? I got it from my father’s study.”
Geom Gwi’s eyes widened in an instant when he saw the key that Han Se-yeon was holding.
bang!
A loud noise of something breaking echoed in the vice president’s office of Hansung Engineering.
The TV was flashing news with breaking news, and his cell phone had been ringing nonstop since a while ago.
“Jang Su-gi, the S-class magician known as the Sword of Hanseongga, has joined Hanseong Pharmaceutical today.
He has revealed his appearance. According to current insiders, he has officially decided to act as the bodyguard of Chief Han Se-yeon and has also said that he will support her next steps… … .J
The situation I was worried about happened.
Despite numerous pressures and requests, Geom-Gwi, who had maintained neutrality, declared his support for Han Se-yeon.
This was not a simple incident.
The Sword Demon Jangsu Chronicles.
He was the only symbolic figure left in the Hanseong family where Han Dae-hyeon disappeared.
peel.
“Kim Jinwoo… …
According to the report of Jeong-hwan, a S-class mine who escaped from Busan at the time, Jin-woo Kim was with Se-yeon Han.
Perhaps it was Kim Jin-woo’s intention to go down to Busan, where the Sword Demon is in hiding.
“… … “What on earth is this guy doing?”
Things are getting more and more complicated.
It was an opportunity to turn the distrust that had developed from the association’s pursuit and failure into trust.
“shit!”
Now I have no time or leisure.
The situation is pushed to the edge of a cliff, and there is no time to hesitate.
The Shipmahoe’s situation is probably not much different from yours.
“… … But was it a coincidence that you went down to Busan?”
Han Se-jin was wondering about that.
Why did you go to find the Sword Ghost on the day of the assassination attempt?
Even though she, who never missed company work, ended up having to postpone the meeting.
Even if it is a coincidence, this kind of coincidence
Could this be… … .
“Could it be that the information was leaked?”
It’s not like there’s no possibility.
No, this is more likely.
Because my younger brother absolutely hated putting off his work.
“Information is leaking… …
There is a traitor within. But who?
There must be only a handful of people who know about Han Se-yeon’s assassination operation?
Could it be that it’s on the mine side?
As Han Se-jin was thinking such things, he suddenly found Elin writing something in a notebook in front of the door.
… … What are you writing?
With sudden questions and doubts, Han Se-jin slowly approached her.
As he approached, Elin closed the notebook and gave him a wary look.
“why?”
“That note. Can you show it to me?”
“what? why? no.”
It’s a stubborn refusal.
This was enough to make him confused as to who his employer was, but Han Se-jin decided to skip it.
“You often write things down in your notebook. “I’m curious.”
“… … You. I don’t know what’s suddenly blowing in your face, but I can see that you’re suspicious of me. I understand that you’re upset because things aren’t going well, but please don’t take it out on me.”
I thought I kept my poker face, but it looks like I got caught.
Is he really an S-rank wizard?
Han Se-jin smiled slightly.
“Yes, I think information has been leaking out recently. Just in case, please understand.”
“Ah, you suspect me of being a spy?”
Elin, who had said that, continued.
“But you know what? If I were a spy, I wouldn’t bother to leak information.”
Han Se-jin felt doubtful about Elin’s words.
Elin smiled grimly as she looked at him.
“What I mean is, I would have killed you with my own hands a long time ago instead of bothering to steal information.”
“… … Haha. That’s right.”
When I think about it, it is true.
If it were her personality, she wouldn’t care about incurring the Hansung family’s grudge.
It’s unlikely that Elin is a spy.
So, does that mean it’s on the mine side?
“Still, I’m curious about that note, so why don’t you show it to me?”
It is an order from the employer.
Ellen had no choice but to hand over the note.
Han Se-jin looked over the contents of the note.
It was full of incomprehensible techniques.
It’s the same even if you turn the page.
“……What is this?”
“… … It’s homework.”
“Homework?”
Han Se-jin tilted his head at the unexpected remark.
Homework? You’re not a young student going to school.
“The inside of the rune… … No, it’s similar to a qualification exam for a servant, but you wouldn’t know even if you looked at it.”
Then he snatched the note away in an instant and shouted fiercely.
“If you saw it, get out.”
It was Monday, two weeks after the Tae-Hwi Festival, a fun festival at the Magic Academy.
The atmosphere at the Magic Academy has returned to its former passionate atmosphere.
The first and second years were busy training for the upcoming evaluation exam, while the third years were attending special lectures held by the school in preparation for the upcoming professional magician certification exam.
“The professional wizard certification exam involves a total of 5 exams over 3 days.”
The main auditorium of the main building where all third-year students gather.
Teacher Jang An-cheol began his special lecture.
“The test evaluates three basic abilities. And there are two competitive exams. basic
The evaluation is not very difficult, but the problem is the two competitive exams. Now, everyone, please look at this screen.”
“… … Huaam.”
I didn’t pay attention to the lecture because I already knew the content before returning.
Because I knew the details of the test content and what would happen during it.
Jang An-cheol’s lecture continued.
A detailed explanation followed, including what kind of questions would be on the test and what to watch out for.
“The Golden Leaf of the Rune in the 4th room of the cave
“A rat appears. If you remove the skin of this bat and shine your magic on it, a hidden mural on the wall will be revealed.”
It’s literally a lecture that you can’t hear even if you pay money.
It’s almost to the point where the correct answer is taught out loud.
This was a special advantage unique to the Magic Academy.
It was also the secret to the extraordinary score of 95% passing the professional magician certification exam.
“Wow. You really explain it in detail.”
Yoon Ha-young, who sat next to me, opened her eyes
I wrote down all of Jang An-cheol’s words in a notebook.
The hand holding the pencil is so fast that there is no error like a stenographer.
Did Hayoung Yoon have that kind of talent?
“But can’t you write it down?”
Yuara, who was sitting next to me, glanced at me and said.
I chuckled and tapped my head with my fingers.
“I’m memorizing it.”
“… … what? but. “I think you can do that.”
It’s nonsense, but I’ve seen it so many times that I just nodded and said, “It’s ridiculous.”
Lee Seo-jun, who was sitting in front of me, turned around slightly and smirked at me.
“… … The explanation of the fourth test will end here. ruler! “Now then, let’s each open the documents we received.”
At his words, I opened the papers.
There is a need to check the contents of this document because it contains information that even I do not know.
“As you know, the fifth test is also
It’s a competitive exam. And the document contains the list of candidates for the 5 exams that were released today.”
This is the group list for the 5th exam.
Since it is a competitive exam, my performance in the exam will greatly change depending on who I meet here.
First, I visited Yoo Seong-jin from Zaun (although he is not an official member yet) who is participating in this exam.
[Group C: Yoo Seong-jin]
Hmm. Is Yoo Seong-jin in group C?
As I look at the Group C list, Yuara is there.
It’s the meeting between Yoo Ah-ra and Yoo Seong-jin.
Come to think of it, we’re both Yus.
“uh? I found it. I’m G. Hey Sunwoo. “What trillion are you?”
In response to Yoon Ha-young’s question, I looked through the list and then answered.
“I’m in group D.”
“uh? “I’m also in group D.”
Seojun Lee, sitting in front of me, responded.
And Shin Young-jun, who was sitting next to him, looked at me and Lee Seo-jun alternately and smiled.
“Oh~ what? Are you two from the same group? “It’s been a while since you two are together?”
“Wow. It’s a big match. “Seonwoo and Seojun?”
Yoon Ha-young said with a smile.
“We’re both going to have a hard time.”
I tilted my head at Yuara’s last words.
What are they talking about now?
“What are you talking about suddenly? Me and Seojun Lee
“Why are you sticking around?”
“yes? “You two are in the same group.”
Hayoung Yoon blinked and said. I turned my attention to Seojun Lee.
“The 5th test is not an individual competition, but a team competition.
