< The Magician and His Assistant >
Friday night.
I left the tent with the little one, seeing off Sirutteok.
“Brother! Miss! Have a fun weekend trip!”
Sirutteok knew that we were going on a trip for two nights and three days. I had a big backpack on my back, and the little one was carrying a teddy bear bag.
“Okay. Take good care of the house over the weekend.”
The little boy also added a word from the side.
“Shiru-tteok! Don’t run away!”
As we came outside, we saw Wang Gu-ho training alone in the corner of the yard.
Dddddddddd!
As the king’s tiger, whose entire body was turned into rock, stretched his arm forward, part of his arm grew into the shape of a sharp spear and struck the rock in front of him.
Phew!
There were already several traces of the large rock having been hit and broken.
It was the result of Wang Guho’s constant practice.
Dddddddddd!
Wang Guho, who had unraveled the rock painting, covered his head with both hands and muttered.
“This won’t do. It’s too slow…”
In my opinion, the attack just now was pretty good, but Wang Guho seemed dissatisfied.
“I need to be able to do it faster… From now on, if I don’t attack properly….”
It seems that he was shocked by the incident where he was almost attacked by a shadow goblin a while ago. After returning to the tent that day, Wang Gu-ho volunteered to devote himself to training.
It was quite a gratifying sight from a teaching standpoint.
“Hogu! We’re going and coming back… Ugh!”
“fizzle.”
I covered the mouth of the little boy who was waving his hand at Wang Gu-ho without even noticing.
“Let’s just go. I’m concentrating.”
We turned around, leaving Wang Guho behind while he was training.
Wang Gu-ho. At first, he seemed like a pushover, but as he gained experience, he gradually became more proactive, and I felt really good about that.
“Child. Work hard.”
If both his skills and mentality grow like that, there’s no way Wang Gu-ho won’t become a hero like Geum Min-cheol of the Moving Fortress someday…
At that moment, Wang Gu-ho’s voice, shaking with anxiety, was heard from behind.
“If I don’t get stronger… the team leader will abandon me, saying I’m useless… it’s obvious he’ll abandon me without mercy… if it’s the team leader…!”
You little punk. Is that why you work so hard?
“Oh my.”
I was about to go back and beat him up, but I held back. Regardless of the motive, it’s good that Wang Gu-ho is getting stronger.
After we got a good distance away from the tent, I said to the kid.
“Let’s fly from here.”
At my words, the little boy held out the Guardian’s bracelet.
“shield!”
A moment later, we were flying through the sky on a shield the kid had made.
I have the same bracelet, but I couldn’t use the shield this way.
Isn’t it something you can do if you know how?
Of course, I asked the kid how to do it.
Then the answer was,
“Why can’t you just do it?? Can’t you do it?”
“······.”
Damn talent. It’s so dirty I decided not to learn it.
Since I have to take the kid with me anyway.
We flew across the restricted area, and after a while, we arrived in front of a small cave hidden in the bushes.
Kookookookookung!
After removing the large rock blocking the entrance and dismantling the formation in front of it, a space inside was revealed.
Hidden inside this cave were the treasures that my little boy and I had collected while roaming around the restricted area.
In other words, it was a treasure trove.
There was also a guardian guarding it as befitting a treasure trove.
[Who is it!]
“It’s us.”
[Big man! Lilit!]
Perhaps it was our turn on duty today, but the plump, guard dog that had been standing guard inside the cave flew in and circled us.
The Snow-Nuns still lived in the Emerald Lake, taking turns guarding my treasure vault.
If anyone approached the treasure vault, it was my role to fly to me at bullet speed and report. The entrance was a small hole in the ceiling.
I said, looking around the cave.
“Nothing happened?”
The chubby-eyed man saluted with his short arms and said:
[During the vigil, everything was normal! Nothing happened!]
“Okay. From now on, be on guard outside the cave.”
[Okay!]
The chubby snowball flew out of the cave, and I went inside the cave with the little one.
There, the magical items I had found for today were neatly arranged.

After a while, I put on all my magic items and stood in front of the full-length mirror.
In the mirror, a middle-aged, handsome white man was smiling.
About 5 years later, the mask used by the great conman Kim Jong-su had the ability to focus people’s attention, change their impression to be more likeable, and change their voice to sound like an orator.
It doesn’t have any special features other than being quite tough, but when worn and magical power is released, it can emit an aura that is difficult to describe in words.
It was a staff made of wood, stronger than steel, and could emit light when infused with magic.
When I put all three on, I was transformed into a completely different person from head to toe.
And the little kid next to me,
“This is too big···.”
He wore a cone-shaped hat on his head and a purple robe that trailed along the floor. The sleeves were so long that they extended well beyond his hands.
“Um… Let’s roll up the sleeves a bit.”
After folding the sleeves three times, I could barely see my fingers.
Finally, I put the white cat mask on the little boy’s face.
“Say it again now.”
[Mister! Ouch! That’s weird! This is weird!]
The little boy’s voice became high-pitched, as if he had inhaled helium gas. The little boy jumped up and down in excitement.
I checked our appearances in the mirror and practiced the lines I would say later.
He hit the floor with his shining staff!
“I am Aximus, a wizard from the continent of Gaia!”
The little boy stood next to me and said.
[I am the wizard’s assistant!]
I shook my head, saying that wasn’t it.
“You have to add ‘yo’ at the end.”
[Hey, assistant!]
“······.”
After a while, we flew into the sky and entered the city.
*

*
Of course, Monster Gates are created regardless of day or night, so the superhumans belonging to the guild usually work the night shift in shifts.
Unless, like me, you explicitly state in the contract that there is no overtime.
“Kuuuuuuu-!”
As we entered the city, we flew in the direction where we heard the monster’s roar.
Since I was using [Stealth], no one spotted us while we were flying through the sky.
Upon arriving at the scene a short while later, we saw superhumans fighting monsters pouring out of the gate, and police officers waiting behind them with a barricade in place.
“The stage is pretty nice.”
It was a fairly large gate. Most of the monsters that poured out were low-level, but there were a lot of them, so there were quite a few superhumans from the guild.
Among them, there were some familiar faces.
“It’s almost over!”
“Push a little harder!”
“Wow!”
Warriors, Blackhound. They seem to be really grinding out superhumans wherever they go.
Anyway, it was a good thing that there was a large audience, because the word would spread faster.
We waited until the gate stopped spewing out monsters, then quietly went and stood in front of it.
And when all the monsters on the scene were cleared out,
Slurp.
I acted like I had released [Stealth] and walked out of the gate.
thud!
He tapped the floor with his shining staff,
At first he shouted in Gaia.
“I am Aximus, a wizard from the continent of Gaia!”
Surprised people turned to look at me. Dozens of superhumans and hundreds of police officers were looking at me.
At that moment, the whole area was thrown into chaos.
“what!”
“Who is that person?!”
“It looks like it came out from inside the gate?”
I could feel everyone being flustered and on guard. At least I was successful in attracting attention.
I spoke in Gaia once more.
“I am Aximus, a wizard from the continent of Gaia!”
Of course, no one could understand what he was saying.
Groan, groan.
“Who the hell is that guy?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Isn’t there anyone who understands?”
A man speaking in a strange language walks out from inside the gate.
Moreover, his appearance and clothes were far from Korean.
At the exact moment when everyone’s curiosity was heightened, I raised the
Flash-!
A blinding light burst from the cane. The blindfolded men screamed and cursed, and the startled police officers all turned their guns toward me.
I spoke to the surprised people in Korean.
“Can you hear me now? I am Aximus, a wizard from the continent of Gaia. Do not be surprised, I just used interpretation magic.”
Everyone blinked in surprise at my Korean pronunciation, which was so clear and distinct, like a local person.
While everyone was dumbfounded, I quickly took control of the atmosphere.
Round.
As our bodies rose into the air, people’s pupils appeared to grow larger.
“oh my god···.”
“I’m flying in the sky···.”
It’s too early to be surprised by this. There’s still a lot of prepared directing left.
I shouted, extending my glowing staff to the right.
“A disaster will soon strike this land!”
At the same time, I injected mana into the
Gooooooooooooo!
The aura that radiated from my entire body spread out in all directions. It was just an atmosphere, but that alone was enough to impress upon everyone my presence.
I raised both my arms and shouted.
“A disaster will soon strike this land! I have come here to warn you of it!”
At the same time, the little boy created a huge firework in the air.
As large as possible.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
““Huh!””
The timing was perfect, so anyone who saw it could tell that I was the one who created the fireworks.
The
The huge flame floating above me was shining on me like the sun.
People were now beyond astonishment and had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the country.
“Hey, you’re a real wizard···.”
“You came from another dimension?”
“What is a disaster?”
In order to prevent a disaster, it was necessary to let others know that a disaster was coming.
But I couldn’t do it myself.
To explain all that, I’d have to say that I regressed, which would be crazy.
At first, they will treat me like I’m crazy and not believe me, and then when disaster strikes, they will bother me.
After that, it was obvious that all kinds of flies would chase me, wanting information about the future.
So the idea was to create a new character who would warn of the disaster.
A wizard from another world.
I needed to make people here believe that about me.
That way, we can inform them about the disaster and prepare them for it.
I can also control them in the direction I want.
Fortunately, the response so far appears to have been successful.
I shouted at the people who were looking at me as if possessed.
“Look at that rainbow! It’s a sign of disaster!”
People’s eyes turned to the rainbow. The rainbow, with its green band gradually fading away, already had a few ominous rumors attached to it.
I added specificity to the ominousness in an eerie voice.
“When the last strip of the rainbow disappears, hundreds of gates of hell will open. Monsters and demons will cover the earth and the sky, the living will close their eyes and the dead will open theirs…”
“···This is the story that is told about that disaster.”
A heavy silence fell on the room.
“······.”
Of course, there will be those who doubt what I say, but at least the story of the disaster will not leave people’s minds in the future.
Then one person stepped forward.
He was the chief police officer dispatched to the scene.
He asked with a confused look.
“So… you’re saying that you’re a prophet from another dimension? You’ve come to warn us of the disaster that will befall us?”
I shook my head with a serious expression.
“I am not a prophet. I am just a wizard. This is my assistant.”
The little boy nodded with his cat mask on and crossed his arms solemnly, as if trying to imitate me.
[I’m the wizard’s assistant!]
I squeezed the little boy’s shoulder.
“···Please understand that this child is not good at interpretation magic.”
Fortunately, the little boy’s strange way of speaking didn’t have much of an effect on the atmosphere.
The police chief looked up at me, still with a confused expression.
“Then… what should we do to prevent disaster?”
“······.”
I deliberately took a pause before answering right away. Then I slowly opened my mouth.
“You can’t avoid disaster, but there are ways to minimize the damage.”
“What is that?”
“······.”
I looked around, hundreds of eyes were waiting for my answer.
I opened my mouth slowly.
“Take me to the King of this world, and I will speak to him.”
I was planning to meet the president.
