“Well, today… .”

The three wizards’ eyes sparkled.

… To be honest, Park Seo-hyun can’t see well. He sometimes walks with his bangs, but not today.

On the other hand, Kim Chae-min is showing with her whole body that she must hand over the runes immediately. Considering what he did to Hong Seok-young, I should be thankful he isn’t grabbing me by the collar.

“… Since all three of us are familiar with the screening rune and auxiliary rune, I think I’ll teach them a new rune.”

“Yes, teacher!”

Kim Chae-min raised his hand.

“… “What are you curious about, Mr. Kim?”

“How many runes do you know?”

“Why are you curious about that?”

“As a disciple, you may be curious about the master’s skills!”

“You are a teacher.”

I was disgusted.

“Don’t be scary. “I’m not a wizard, so I can’t be Mr. Kim’s teacher.”

Kim Chae-min looked hurt at my words. While her eyes are smiling. This is why a wizard is… .

A wizard’s master and disciple are a legally binding contract. It’s not for nothing that it’s become a trend for wizards to find disciples among their relatives.

“And as I keep saying, I don’t know the principles of runes. “I’m just telling you what I know.”

“Where is that?”

I answered like that and looked toward the back of the classroom.

After realizing that the rune class was not as fun as they thought, most of the children ran away after the first class. That’s because all the wizards do is trace the runes I drew on the blackboard.

Seungyeon Lee still showed her face a few more times, but that was up to three times.

What was surprising was Oh Hyun-wook. He doesn’t show any interest in the rune class, nor does he pay attention to it, but he always shows his face. No matter how many times I tried to talk to him, he only answered in short and left, so I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

under… . What is a teenage high school student?

Was I like that too? I didn’t do that.

Anyway, today too, Oh Hyun-wook stamped his attendance at rune class.

Hong Seok-young is sitting next to Oh Hyun-wook. After Kim Chae-min joined, there were days when she did not watch the class, perhaps because she did not think it was necessary to supervise the entire class. This is probably because if Hong Seok-young sits here, all other classes will be interrupted. Today, for the first time in a while, I came to my class.

maybe… . I shifted my gaze from Hong Seok-young.

Just right.

The extremely frivolous sound of chewing gum.

Just right.

“… … .”

When Lee Mi-seon made eye contact with me, she was startled and swallowed her gum.

“sorry. It’s a habit. “I won’t disturb you.”

Ah yes… .

My stomach twists as I try to play the role of a teacher who doesn’t even have a name. She barely even completed the mandatory Awakened training.

no… .

If you think negatively, you will become endlessly depressed.

Let’s think good thoughts. Think about your initial goal. Isn’t everything going smoothly?

There’s even hope of getting into that damn moving dungeon!

“… teacher?”

“Hmm.”

Let’s come to our senses and go to class.

“The rune I will tell you today is… “I call them shadow runes.”

I glanced at Park Seo-hyun. This is a rune developed by Park Seo-hyun. How did he create a rune just like him?

“Let’s draw it first.”

* * *

‘This man?’

Late at night.

What was Lee Mi-seon’s first thought when she first saw that man in the closed training center?

‘… ‘You look handsome?’

Is it because my father has been nagging me lately to meet some men? What can men do when they are so busy with just work? Moreover, aren’t all the positions that a father or mother takes up being an entrepreneur? Lee Mi-seon was not interested in men weaker than herself.

‘No, not this.’

Since he was the man my cute nephew talked about every day, I couldn’t help but feel curious.

In a moment of desperate need, he saved his life even by sacrificing himself. It’s not that I don’t understand why my young nephew was so fascinated. Still, I wish he would have kept his guard up. This is something that shows how I raised my older brother and step-sister.

It’s not that I’m not grateful for saving my nephew.

But that’s it, this is this.

Hong Seok-young praised him for saving the students while escaping from the ark, and for being a man of character… . That guy is so generous with his praise that I can’t believe it.

The guy in that organization became a character? Save the students?

‘It’s suspicious no matter who looks at it!’

Honestly, the reason Hong Seok-young is so good at trusting others is because of his skills. Who would dare think of betraying the best hunter in Korea? This is something even Lee Mi-seon would never do.

ah. Still, my younger brother’s story was unexpected. Hong Seok-young did not share the information with Lee Mi-seon until then, so she first heard the story in the basement of the training center.

It’s questionable if a kid who used to work as a member of an illegal organization saved children for no reason, but it’s understandable if there’s a motive.

Even to save his little brother? It is a motivation that makes everything understandable at once. I was convinced so quickly that I still have doubts.

‘Miseon.’

‘what.’

‘You are too suspicious of people. ‘Sometimes there are people who really do you a favor with good intentions?’

‘Who said what?’

‘It’s about trusting people.’

My brother also said that once.

Lee Mi-seon was chewing gum loudly when she made eye contact with the man in question, Woo Hee-jae.

‘… … what?’

Are you arguing now?

Lee Mi-seon, who was frowning, realized her mistake when the two young wizards sitting at the desk and even Kim Chae-min were looking at her.

Lee Mi-seon swallowed her gum in embarrassment.

“sorry. It’s a habit. “I won’t disturb you.”

Only then did the eyes that were focused on him disappear.

‘It’s a rune, by the way.’

We came all the way to this corner because of the ark. Even though you’re so busy, you’re calling someone here just for something so trivial. I was filled with frustration.

‘What are runes?’

Even the Ark officials were forcibly taken out? Because of Hong Seok-young’s insistence, cleaning up the mess again became his responsibility.

Still, the fact that Kim Chae-min was taking the class caught Lee Mi-sun’s attention. When I see the Archmage doing that, I guess there’s something there.

“The rune I will tell you today is… “I call them shadow runes.”

Woo Hee-jae slowly opened his mouth.

Tall height and broad shoulders. Although he is not the sculpturally handsome man commonly referred to, he does not have the appearance commonly seen on the streets. He’s currently wearing shabby sweatpants that look like he just bought them at the market, but overall he looks like he’d rather use a pen at his desk than a sword. If you dress it up in some nice clothes and stand it up like a secretary, it will look good on you without any discomfort.

The hunters in the guild also took good care of their appearance, but since they were hard workers, there was something about them that didn’t catch the eye. If even half of what my nephew said about Woo Hee-jae is true, I would want to scout him for the guild… .

‘… … No, I keep going the other way.’

There is no shortage of talented people in the guild, so there is a lot of stress as the guild is unable to recruit new members.

In fact, that is why we supported Hong Seok-young’s pilot high school project. Her nephew’s education was also an education, but she wanted to raise talented people in a stable manner. She was a pure innocent child and had been raised by her since she was young.

‘Let’s focus, focus.’

When was the last time you sat in a classroom? It’s hard to remember her since it’s been over ten years. Even back then, I stayed away from studying, but now I’m going to class… .

Woo Hee-jae drew a complex picture made up of shapes and symbols on the blackboard. If I just look at it, I feel dizzy. Are those runes? Isn’t it just random scribbling?

However, Woo Hee-jae spoke lightly.

“Is it easy?”

“I know that sounds unlucky.”

“Easy and difficult are relative.”

Woo Hee-jae did not even flinch despite Kim Chae-min’s complaints.

“Isn’t it simpler compared to the screen rune and auxiliary rune?”

“If you say so, it is true.”

“If you try to draw it, it might be easier than you think.”

“What effect is this?”

“Draw it.”

“What effect is it?”

“I told you to draw it.”

“Can’t you just tell me?”

“Then it’s no fun.”

Woo Hee-jae calmly spoke not only to Kim Chae-min but also to other young wizards.

“Why are you guys so absent-minded? “Draw it quickly.”

“Yes, yes!”

“yes!”

It’s a voice that is strangely full of military spirit. Is this a surprisingly strict teacher?

Woo Hee-jae glanced behind him. He thought they had made eye contact, but it happened so quickly that he couldn’t be sure.

‘Now that I think about it, that man was an illegal awakener.’

It was natural since he didn’t even have a proper identity. then.

‘How good are your skills?’

Mi-seon Lee, who recalled the testimony she heard from her nephew, shook her head. She is my niece whom I love dearly, but she is at an age where she makes up things that don’t exist. The actions of the person who saved her life will be heart-warming.

If it was a skill worth remembering, wouldn’t Hong Seok-young have mentioned it?

Of course, Lee Mi-seon never dreamed that Hong Seok-young had not checked even such basic details.

“how is it? “Is it worth drawing?”

“uh… yes.”

Choi Jin-woo answered with a shocked face.

“It’s a simple rune, so you should know how to draw this much at once.”

Although only their backs were visible, the young wizards’ backs somehow spoke volumes.

“There are so many runes to learn in the future… . How many days does it take to practice that? You’re used to drawing runes now, right? Then you should practice making her hands faster.”

“yes… .”

“Draw the auxiliary runes on top of it. “That is the final step of all runes.”

The wizards groaned and drew runes. It was an amazing sight for Lee Mi-seon. I can’t believe wizards are working so hard on drawing runes. At this point, I was excited to see what they would show me.

When the rune was completed, Woo Hee-jae raised Park Seo-hyun.

“Activate the rune.”

“… … yes.”

Woo Hee-jae said this rune was a shadow rune. Lee Mi-seon crossed her arms and looked calmly. It was true that I didn’t have high expectations, but there must have been a reason why Hong Seok-young had him sit here.

therefore… .

“how is it? Do you see what the effect is?”

Lee Mi-seon blinked. Somehow, it feels like the picture quality is lower than Park Seo-hyun’s surroundings. She is the eye of an A-rank hunter. Strangely, she was right that only Park Seo-hyun looked dark.

Woo Hee-jae turned off the classroom lights, went to the window, and closed the blinds. In the container classroom, there was no room for light other than the windows. The classroom quickly became dark.

“You still don’t know?”

Woo Hee-jae was somehow happy. Lee Mi-seon rubbed her eyes. My vision is strange. The view is strangely dark, like the time just before sunset. In particular, Park Seo-hyun, who is holding the rune in her hand, has assimilated into her surroundings as if the borders have been erased.

“To put it simply, this rune assimilates you with your own shadow.”

“shadow… yo. this?”

Choi Jin-woo spoke in a quiet voice.

“It’s not very noticeable in bright places, but… . “The effect is dramatic when the surroundings are dark.”

Woo Hee-jae closed the blinds. Park Seo-hyun was seen again.

The change became even more stark when Woo Hee-jae took the rune that Park Seo-hyun was holding and tore it up. Park Seo-hyun looked at her hands curiously.

“How do you think I can use this rune?”

“hmm… .”

“Teacher Kim Chae-min? Teacher, you understand, right?”

“uh… .”

“Park Seo-hyun?”

“… … “I’m sorry.”

“No, you might not know. That’s why there are teachers. “You just have to learn step by step.”

“sorry… .”

“Are you okay?”

Lee Mi-seon pondered Woo Hee-jae’s words. Being assimilated into your own shadow? She may seem useless at first glance, but the key is when it’s dark, not when it’s bright. If it’s a dungeon without light… .

Lee Mi-seon, who was chewing her fingernails, lifted her head. He had something to say that bothered me.

“Hey, Woo Hee-jae.”

“yes?”

“I have one question.”

“yes?”

“Can you tell me what the screening rune I mentioned earlier is?”

“… … “It is a magic shielding rune.”

“The magic shield rune? if… “Magic power.”

“yes. As the name suggests, it covers magical power.”

Woo Hee-jae actually asked Lee Mi-seon a question back.

“Didn’t you hear from student Seungyeon? “I used it to find them in Myeongdong.”

“… … .”

Lee Mi-seon slowly took a breath.

Every time I talked about what happened in Myeongdong, my nephew’s face came to mind as he awkwardly turned his words around. He was looking for a doctor to treat Hunter, wondering if he had suffered some kind of trauma… !

Mi-seon Lee jumped up and grabbed Hong Seok-young by the collar.

“You’re already forcing my nephew to join?! “This guy has no morals!!”
