Episode 392
Saturday 2pm.
As I was leaving the Magic Academy to attend to some of the events scheduled for today, a message alarm went off on my smart student notebook.
[Choi Seo-yoon: Senior, are you really not going to participate in today’s group training?]
In the group chat room where the main characters gather
It was a message sent by Seo Choi Seo-yoon.
The content was that Lee Seo-jun would practice using the spirits he had recently acquired and do group training to prepare for the professional magician qualification exam.
But I have important work to do today.
Just as I was about to type a rejection reply, the message rang again.
[Shin Youngjun: That’s right. What are you really doing every weekend that makes you so busy?]
[Lee Seo-jun: If you don’t have time, come after work even if it’s late. I think it’ll take a long time.
place]
[Yoon Ha-young: Guys, Seon-woo must have his own circumstances too (thinking cat emoji)]
The messages kept coming.
I chuckled as I looked at the contents looking for me and typed a reply.
[Kim Seon-woo: I’ll stop by for a moment when I have time]
After sending a reply like that, Smart
I put my student notebook back in.
Then the message alarm went off, but I blocked all the alarms and kept walking.
That’s how I arrived at the headquarters of my company, JWK, managed by Yang Tae-min in the guise of ‘Kim Jin-woo’.
Next to JWK’s headquarters, which I visited after a long time, there was another building that I didn’t know about.
“… … “For some reason, it seems like every time I come here, the number of buildings increases by one.”
I’ve been busy lately, so I’ve left most of the company’s work to Yang Tae-min, but the company
It grew bigger than I imagined.
Not only was Yang Tae-min’s outstanding business ability, but the cooperation with Hansung Pharmaceutical, which has recently enjoyed the highest stock price, was a big factor.
I opened the door and went inside.
“hello. “You are CEO Jinwoo Kim, right?”
As I entered, an employee I had never seen before approached me and bowed his head.
“I was waiting when I heard that the CEO would visit today.
“Ah! My name is Baek Seong-cheol, the development team leader who joined the company in June of this year thanks to my connection with CEO Yang.”
“… … Baek Seong-cheol?”
I’ve heard that name somewhere.
While I was thinking alone in my head, there was someone who came to mind.
“Did you by any chance major in magic engineering?”
“Huh? Did Representative Yang tell you?”
Baek Seong-cheol looks at me with surprised eyes.
After hearing that answer, I smiled a little.
also. The Baek Seong-cheol I thought was correct.
Baek Seong-cheol, a genius magician.
“no. “When I look at the physiognomy, it somehow feels like that.”
“… … “Are you a physiognomy?”
Near future. Along with Yang Tae-min and Han Se-yeon, he is called one of the geniuses in each field who brought about innovation in the world.
The magical engineering systems he developed provide convenience to many people.
Because we will show ‘innovation’ as it is.
I smiled softly and held both of his hands tightly.
“Please work at our company for a long time. If there is anything you need or lack, please let me know at any time. This is my personal contact information. “Take it.”
“… … Yes? Oh, yes. I understand.”
Baek Seong-cheol received my business card with a puzzled face.
“Okay, let’s go then.”
“yes. “Please follow me.”
I received guidance from Baek Seong-cheol and Yang Tae-min.
went into the office.
As I entered, Yang Tae-min greeted me warmly.
“Jinwoo. “It’s been a while since I last saw you.”
“Haha. That’s right.”
Yang Taemin, whom I had not seen in a long time, had a look on his face.
I smiled and took the hand that Yang Tae-min extended.
Baek Seong-cheol looked at me and Yang Tae-min in turn, then bowed his head and walked out of the room.
“You seem to have been very busy lately. How is work going?”
Taemin Yang sat down on the chair in front and spoke to me.
I nodded as I sat down across from him.
“Well, I don’t know if it’s going well, but it hasn’t failed yet.”
“I wasn’t failing… … “Isn’t not failing is success?”
Although Yang Tae-min’s words did not fit my situation, I smiled slightly instead of answering.
After that, I received various reports from Yang Tae-min about the company’s situation.
Although we didn’t see each other often, we did contact each other often, so it wasn’t difficult to understand.
Yang Tae-min, who had been talking nonsense, wet his throat with water and said.
“Oh. Now that I think about it, I’m really going alone like Jinwoo said.”

“yes?”
“You said last time that the next owner of Hansungga would be Han Se-yeon. As Jinwoo said, Han Se-yeon
This looks promising. There’s been a lot of noise recently about the swordsmanship.”
” ah.”
I definitely said that in front of Yang Taemin.
Although it has only been a year since that statement was made, Han Se-yeon’s approval rating within the Hansung Group has indeed increased.
If this continues, it will probably only be a matter of time before Han Se-yeon ascends to the position of chairman.
“That’s it. Rather… …
I took out the ‘Death Side’ I got from yesterday’s dungeon from my subspace bag.
His eyes widen at the sight of a giant scythe suddenly protruding from his body.
“……This?”
“It may look like a weapon, but it is a material to be used in making it.”
Taemin Yang, who received the scythe from me, looked around at it with interest.
Then he nodded slightly as if he understood what I said.
“It’s a production material… … I understood what you meant. As you said, I can feel a gemstone with special power inside this scythe.
yo. this. “It is a very destructive force that takes away the power of life in an instant.”
Even though he did not have the benefits of an outsider like me, he immediately grasped the power contained in the scythe.
As befitting his status as the best production company, he has a special trait called ‘emotion of objects.’
Of course, you may not be able to know as much as an outsider would, but you can probably feel it.
“So, what do you want to make with this precious material? No, what kind of weapon do you want to make?
“Right?”
Taemin Yang said as he put the sickle down on the table.
I sat back in my chair, lost in thought for a moment.
“I’m thinking of making an anti-demon weapon.”
It was one of the vague plans I had been thinking about since I realized that I could not avoid a confrontation with Croas, the culprit behind my regression.
Chairman Kim Jin-cheol personally showed his determination to subdue Cruas, but it is unclear what variables will arise.
work.
I also needed to prepare for that eventuality.
“… …Are you talking about a large-scale weapon?”
“Yes, it must be a weapon powerful enough to even work against a calamity-level demon.”
Taemin Yang, who was lost in thought for a moment, looked down at his scythe and said.
“I’m sorry, but this alone isn’t enough to create a weapon of that level.”
“I will provide support for any additional materials needed. And since it is not a weapon that will be used for a long time, it is okay to use it for one-time use.”
“… … Disposable? Are you really asking me to make a bomb for anti-demon beasts?”
I smiled slightly.
A bomb. That would be fine too.
In fact, there is a concept here of fighting with bombs rather than magic.
It is rarely used because normal bombs cannot penetrate the mana barrier, but it is possible with a ‘mystery bomb’ made by melting mysteries.
Of course, since mystery is a very expensive material, it would be crazy to use it to make a bomb.
Efficiency also drops a lot.
“The bomb is fine. “I would like a bomb that can be detonated in one hit.”
Yang Tae-min looked puzzled at my answer, then nodded.
“… … Umm. I understand for now. This is Jinwoo’s request, so let’s give it a try. However, it seems like it will take quite some time to make it have that much power. And although you can inflict a critical hit, it is impossible to inflict more damage than this.”
“That is enough. “How long will it take?”
“Between one and two years.”
I bit my lip.
At this point, when Cruas’s activities were ahead of the original, one to two years was too long a time.
But I had no other choice.
I guess we’ll just have to pray that Croix stays quiet for a while.
“… … I understand for now.”
At that moment, a message alarm rang on my smartphone.
[I just finished work. promise now
I’ll go to So.]
It was a message to Han Se-yeon. I stood up from my seat.
“Then I have an urgent appointment, so I’ll go.”
“uh… … Are you going already?”
“Yes, it’s urgent.”
“Umm. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Then, please be careful on your way back.”
“Yes, I will contact you again.”
Just like that, I left the company and went to the outskirts of Seoul for an appointment with Se-yeon Han.
We headed to a small park.
Perhaps because it was an underdeveloped area, there was no feeling of popularity.
“… … Hmm. Is he not here yet?”
I’m not busy, so I have some free time.
I sat down on a random bench nearby and waited for about 5 minutes.
I felt someone coming towards me.
“Jinwoo!”
At the familiar call, I smiled and greeted her.
Han Se-yeon with a happy face. And that
Behind him was the sword spirit who had now become the sword that protects Han Se-yeon.
I bowed my head slightly towards the Sword Demon, and he also nodded and accepted my greeting.
“sorry. “Have you waited long?”
“No. You’re not late. What? Oh, right. I thought today was your vacation?”
“Yes, I had a lot of work to do at work, but I had to take a quick vacation due to personal reasons.”
Personal circumstances for Han Se-yeon?
“What is the matter?”
“that……
Han Se-yeon trailed off suspiciously. Then, after looking at Geom-gwi’s expression, she continued.
“It’s something related to my father. I’ll tell you later.”
When I hear that it’s Han Dae-hyun’s work, I suddenly feel nervous.
Besides, I don’t think it would be a light matter to keep it a secret from me.
I wanted to ask more questions, but I felt like I wouldn’t get an answer, so I had no choice but to move on.
Han Se-yeon smiled slightly to change the mood and took out something from her bag.
“Now, take it. “These are the processed fruits that Jinwoo requested.”
I received something she passed on.
It was a glass container containing a yellow liquid, and in the center was a transformed, peeled, devil’s fruit.
This was exactly why I met her today.
“If touched incorrectly, the core effect of the fruit will be lost.
I processed it to maintain the original as much as possible, in case it disappears. But I think the effect will be better than before.”
The effectiveness was confirmed with the benefit of an outsider.
[Processed Mysterious Demon Tree Fruit (S)]
Category: Elixir
Description: When taken, all abilities increase by 8% and all recovery abilities increase by 50%.
All attribute magic resistance increases by 30%.
You can use [Protection of the Demon World (S)].
A lot of things have been added here and there.
All abilities that previously increased by 5% have been increased by an additional 8%.
An additional effect was added that increases all recovery abilities by 50% and attribute magic resistance by a whopping 30%.
Even if everything else is the same, the attribute is
The 30% increase in law resistance is quite noticeable.
30%. This is very high.
“thank you. “I get help every time.”
“No. Rather… … I feel sorry because I feel like this is all I can do to help you compared to what you have given me, Jinwoo.”
Han Se-yeon’s voice was filled with sincerity.
Her tone of voice. Judging from his expression, he seems to feel that he truly owes me a lot.
But so far I’ve helped her
It was not a concept of service that came from simple favor.
It was an investment I personally chose for my future development.
So there’s no need for her to feel sorry for me.
“If it weren’t for Jinwoo, I probably wouldn’t have come this far.”
Instead of answering Han Se-yeon’s continued words, I smiled slightly.
“Then let’s pretend we are each other’s teacher.”
Han Se-yeon gasped at my words. and laughed.
“Thank you for your kind words, but I don’t want to think that way. It’s true that I received more help.”
He said he remembered Han Se-yeon saying that and took something out of his pocket.
“Take this too.”
“……hmm?”
What Han Se-yeon gave was a small document.
“After hearing Jinwoo’s words last time, I became personally curious and looked into it.”
I looked over the contents of the document.
[The fruit of an unidentified person appeared at an auction in London in 1833]
[1836 Giant tree appears in forest near London… …]
[1836 Wizarding Society. A giant tree monster. Designated as the ‘Great Demon Beast’.]
[1837 Giant Tree Monster Suppression Success. A total of 7 S-Class Wizards Die]
They were knights from 200 years ago.
I looked at it with puzzled eyes for a moment. This is because the contents contained within could not be easily overlooked.
Then I found a white photo on the back page. I picked it up and stared at it blankly.
A tree monster with a size comparable to a tall building.
Moreover, its appearance is so hideous that it makes your heart tremble just by looking at it.
No way.
