Episode 403
The morning meeting of the special task force continued under the leadership of Deok-Hyeon Kim.
To summarize, the content was like this.
The ‘Ten Demon Society’, a group of demons hidden in the sea, is currently on the verge of destruction, and their owner, ‘King’, is trying to bring about new changes.
Also, there is a huge force with great power hidden behind them.
And its identity is very likely to be in the form of a corporation.
After that, ‘King’. And then the explanation of how to track down the Ten Demon Association’s silver maid began.
Traces obtained through the Mine Gate incident and a small clue left by an agent who went missing while chasing the Ten Demon Association… … .
As the explanation continued, the agents’ faces became filled with surprise and amazement.
… … So time passed.
“That’s all for the explanation. Since there are missing agents, it’s possible that our information is leaking to them as well.
There is a castle. So everyone, be prepared for any surprise attack.”
After Kim Deok-hyeon finished explaining, there was a brief silence among the agents.
But that was only for a moment. The agents seemed to have gathered their thoughts and began to speak one by one.
“The Mine Gate incident was just the tip of the iceberg.”
“That’s right… … But who on earth is the force hiding behind Mine?”
“There’s a rumor going around that it’s Hanseongga.”
“no way. no way… …
Then one of the agents raised his hand.
“manager.”
“Speak.”
“How are you going to organize this operation team? “Recently, Zaun and Masuni are facing a disaster, and there is a shortage of manpower.”
Kim Deok-hyeon touched his chin for a moment and then spoke.
“Everyone here will be involved in this operation. Of course, not everyone will be included in the combat team, but will be deployed in various roles such as intelligence collection and security.”
“… … Umm. also.”
Things are going as I expected.
The opponent is not just ‘Sipmahoe’.
Behind them is the ‘Hansung Family’, which is said to be the biggest force next to the Association.
No matter how powerful the association is, it is difficult to deal with both the Sipmahoe and Hanseongga at the same time.
If there is one thing that is fortunate, it is that Han Se-jin has not yet completely taken over Hanseongga.
At that time, Kim Deok-hyeon said.
“Oh, and apprentices and interns are temporarily excluded from this operation.”
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to me, Lee Seo-jun, and Yoo Ah-ra.
“Wait a minute, Team Leader. We’re going to be announcing the qualification exam results today. Aren’t they professionals now? It would be a waste to let them rot away just because they’re trainees.”
“that’s right. Even if they are not sent into battle, they can sufficiently perform other roles.”
As the agents continued talking, Kim Deok-hyeon heard the sound.
“As I said before, one of the intelligence team agents who was chasing the Sipmahoe recently went missing.”
A heavy silence subsided for a moment at Kim Deok-hyeon’s words.
“And the missing agent was a fairly strong S-class agent. That makes this situation quite dangerous.”
“… … But isn’t it okay as long as you don’t put in the work?”
Kim Deok-hyeon shook his head.
“Our information is also leaked to them.
“It is very likely that they are running away. It is an order from the higher-ups to form an elite team for security.”
As he was saying that, Kim Deok-hyeon’s gaze turned to me. Then he muttered in a voice so small that it could not be heard.
“… … I don’t know if that’s really the reason though.”
The special task force meeting, which lasted longer than expected, has ended.
The agents began preparing to carry out their assigned missions, and Lee Seo-jun and Yoo-ra, who had been excluded from the team, returned to their respective positions.
Yuara sat down on the chair, exhaled briefly, and fell down on the desk.
“… … It’s a shame. “I really wanted to participate in this operation.”
“What do you think? “They say you can be hired again as long as you acquire a professional license.”
As Lee Seo-jun spoke comfortingly, Yoo Ah-ra pouts.
“still. “I want to gain experience as quickly as possible.”
Lee Seo-jun smiled bitterly at Yoo Ah-ra’s words, which are always full of passion.
“right. By the way, how long is left until the pro license is announced?”
“In 5 minutes.”
At my answer, both people’s gazes turned to the clock hanging on the wall at the same time.
10:55.
Passing the test is 100%, so in 5 minutes we will become official professional wizards.
“… … Now we’re professionals too. Something feels strange.”
Yuara’s face is small and thoughtful.
He muttered and then suddenly turned his gaze to me.
“… … By the way, that’s unexpected.”
“what?”
“Excluded from the operation. “I thought you would be the most disappointed.”
I blinked blankly.
“why me?”
“You were secretly passionate about special operations… … and you were also interested in these big incidents.”
It’s a meaningful statement for some reason.

The eyes are also strange.
“… … Well, I expected it to some extent.”
This case of subjugating the Ten Demon Society is too difficult for us, who are only probationers, to be involved.
And only the results of the professional exam had come out, and there was still time until the certificate award ceremony.
In the first place, according to the flow of the original work, the subjugation of the king does not take place during the special team’s operation.
“……okay?”
Yua looked at me intently and nodded.
Tiring.
While we were having such a random conversation, an alarm went off on my smart student notebook.
I instinctively realized that it was the result of a professional certification exam.
We looked at each other for a moment and then checked our notebooks simultaneously.
[Results of successful candidates for professional wizard certification announced.]
Passing is 100%, but my goal is to pass.
Achieving an A grade, not this… … .
Will it be possible to get to Grade A?
I checked the list right away without hesitation.
It didn’t take long to find my name.
[One. Seonwoo Kim: Grade A]
“… … phew.”
Even if you close your eyes and look again, it’s clearly an A grade.
Next to my name is the phrase A grade, which I have never achieved in my previous life.
A smile came to my face, and a feeling of satisfaction that I couldn’t explain in words filled me. And at the same time, a message appeared before my eyes.
[I have acquired the qualifications of a Class A wizard.]
[The achievement ‘Obtaining a Grade A Wizard Certificate’ has been achieved.]
[You will receive 10,000 points as a reward.]
[Understanding of magical power slightly increases.]
[The proficiency of ‘Magic Control (A)’ increases slightly.]
[A small change has been detected in the future.]
[Causality increases by 0.3.]
The rewards are also good. I never thought that magic control techniques and causality would increase.
It was worth the effort to get an A grade
there is.
At that time, a message appeared in my smart student notebook.
Not just one, but several.
[Congratulations on getting an A grade, senior!! (clap clap clap clap applause emoticon)]
［Congratulations on your A grade, Sunwoo!］
［Hey~ Kim Seonwoo A?? 天天tsu］
[Congratulations to Kim Seon-woo for getting an A grade! Do you remember me? I contacted you last time to offer to join the guild… …]
“……what.”
Choi Seo-yoon and Yoon Ha-young… … In addition, messages came from Shin Young-jun and various guild scouts.
By the way, even if other people are like that, isn’t Seo-yoon Choi in class right now?
［I saw it on the news and it’s been 22 years since I got an A for the first grade.］
[For some reason, I feel like I’m on fire… … !]
[I also don’t want to fall behind my senior
I need to work harder]
［(Flame emoticon)］
［!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ]
“… … “It’s very noisy.”
For some reason, he seems to like it more than me.
I’m sure he sent it while keeping an eye on things since it was during class, but he types really fast.
Just as I was about to send a simple thank you note, another message appeared before my eyes.
[Many people praise you and call you a genius.]
[Achieve the ‘Created Genius’ achievement.]
[You will receive 10,000 points as a reward.]
and. what?
Points were won again. This time it is 10,000 points.
Hehe. Yeah, this is it.
“Kim Seon-woo. You finally achieved your goal. Congratulations.”
I heard Lee Seo-jun’s voice from the side. I smiled at him and said.
“Congratulations on getting an A grade too.”
Lee Seo-jun achieved an A grade like me.
In one year, two first-class A’s were born. The media will probably make a big deal about this.
‘The birth of two geniuses in Korea.’
It was then that we exchanged such a warm greeting that our eyes met by chance.
Unlike Lee Seo-jun, Yoo Ah-ra’s gaze was filled with bitterness.
He probably feels regretful about being the only one to receive a B grade.
But it’s not like I couldn’t even get a B grade.
“… … Congratulations on getting an A grade.”
“… … Oh, oh. Okay. Congratulations on getting a B grade too.”
I felt like I needed to comfort him somehow, so I added another word.
“Hey, hey. Even a B grade is good. If it were a test, it would be second place.”
Yuara’s eyes narrowed at those words.
lost.
Are you kidding me again?
A dark space where eerie magical energy flows.
For the first time, humans came to the hideout of the Ten Demon Association, which had been allowed only to demons for a long time.
The residents of the Ten Demon Association looked at him with wary eyes, but did not attack him.
The reason was simple.
This is because he was Han Se-jin, a human being who was officially invited by the ‘King’.
“… … Is this where you were hiding?”
Han Se-jin looked around.
Numerous buildings and mines, as well as various magical devices that block the magic from leaking out, were visible.
The scenery inside the Shipmahoe that he saw was like an underground palace… no, it was like
I was looking at poetry.
The legendary Pokmajeon (伏魔殿)
If it exists, wouldn’t it be in this form?
Just then a mine approached him.
“Follow me. “The king is waiting.”
Han Se-jin followed behind Mine.
Soon he arrived in front of a huge door with numerous patterns painted on it.
Kuuung… … .
The door opened, and Han Se-jin slowly entered.
“—Are you here?”
A creepy voice coming from beyond the darkness.
It was a voice full of intimidation that would make even a high-level magician tremble in fear, but there was not the slightest change in Han Se-jin’s face.
He slowly walked in the direction from where the voice came from and stopped.
“… … This is my first time seeing you like this. Is that who you really are?’
Han Se-jin is a silent being hidden beyond the darkness
I muttered while looking at the street.
There was a corpse on the floor, brutally spouting blood, and above it was the king’s figure, his black eyes flashing and absorbing human blood.
And next to it, there was an identification card believed to belong to the corpse.
[Magician Association Information Team 2nd Class Agent Shin Seong-woo]
The king stopped sucking blood and turned to Han Se-jin.
The crab turned its gaze.
“… … That’s amazing. “Even though I haven’t mastered magical powers, I can’t believe I’m not even the slightest bit nervous when I see this body.”
“Because I have a very strong heart. Would you say this is a characteristic that everyone in our family has?”
Han Se-jin smiled faintly and continued speaking.
“… … Anyway, all the preparations on this side are complete. We’ve also secured a certain amount of the family’s treasures, the mysteries.”
“I see… … The time of prophecy is approaching.”
The king muttered in a small voice.
Han Se-jin looked at him blankly and asked.
“So what are your plans? The association’s surveillance network continues to narrow, and it is difficult to take any more time. “Did Seongsan even exist in the first place?”
In response to Han Se-jin’s question, the king lightly moved his arm.
At the same time, thick magic energy swirled greatly in the air.
“For this day, I have gathered the magical essence of countless humans. Absorb the essence.
If I do that, I can temporarily awaken my powers… … If that happens, no one except the Child of Prophecy will be able to harm me.”
It was a simpler plan than I thought.
You just want to absorb life and become stronger?
However, when I saw the confidence in his voice, it seemed like he could have a strong power that could be called ‘awakening’.
There was something else that was more concerning.
“… … But the child of prophecy? what is that
“Right?”
Even Han Se-jin, who had a wealth of information, was hearing this story for the first time.
The king answered.
“The child of prophecy is the natural enemy of the devil, born with the power of the demon annihilator… … According to the prophecy of the previous king, that child would take my life. And I discovered it just as prophesied.”
At that moment, Han Se-jin’s eyes trembled for a moment.
The child of prophecy. Did such a thing really exist?
If that was true, it was not something that could simply be overlooked.
Because one presence can ruin all of one’s plans.
“… … If that’s true, then it would be a priority to eliminate the child of prophecy first. So, who is this child of prophecy?”
The king answered Han Se-jin’s question.
“It’s Kim Seon-woo.”
