Safety device (3)
“Why? There’s nothing to learn.”
“Of course, I have nothing to teach Mr. Kim, who is a wizard, but I have a strange feeling!”
“What makes you feel that way?”
Kim Chae-min looked at Hong Seok-young with a face that said she really didn’t understand.
Before Hong Seok-young, whose pride was strangely stimulated by that sight, could continue talking strangely, I intervened again.
If I could pass it on to Hong Seok-young, I would have done so. I didn’t want to listen to that old man’s pointless tantrum.
“So, what do you want to learn from me, Mr. Kim?”
“You’ve already learned a lot, haven’t you?”
Kim Chae-min looked at me as if asking why I was asking such a thing.
“I learned the runes and the method of determining attributes. Honestly, I think I learned everything with just those two. And there are more than just one or two runes. If Mr. Woo was a magician, I think he would have taught me unique magic.”
“but….”
“It doesn’t matter who actually made it. To me… .”
Kim Chae-min tilted her head to the side. Kim Chae-min frowned slightly.
“Mr. Kim?”
“…no.”
Kim Chae-min stared at me intently. I looked back to see what she was looking at, but I couldn’t find anything.
“For me, it’s more important that Mr. Woo taught me than the person who created it. If it weren’t for Mr. Woo, would I have known it?”
“… … .”
If I had survived and not been killed by the Siren, I would have known someday.
I was just delaying the timing.
But Kim Chae-min isn’t talking like that. Kim Chae-min looked straight at my face and spoke confidently.
“So, you can say that I am already Mr. Woo’s disciple. Do you understand?”
“I have no idea.”
No, actually, I could vaguely guess what kind of thought process went into reaching this conclusion.
But that doesn’t mean I can accept it. No matter how helpful it may be to me, the magician I know would never seek learning from a non-magician.
In the distant future, wizards are divided into those from the Academy and those from the Society, and they fight fiercely. Following my father’s Academy, similar educational institutions have sprung up all over the world. This is because wizards who have been rejected from their families are abandoned in such educational institutions. What would a young wizard who has been abandoned do? He only studies hard and develops a sense of rebellion against the existing magical society.
The wizards who were abandoned like that are the 3rd generation wizards. They were engaged in a savage and intellectual battle with the wizards of the old generation on Earth in 2041. It is just a pity that the world was destroyed before the winner was decided, and we do not know the end.
From my perspective, it was quite annoying that the new generation of wizards that I could communicate with disappeared. If a third generation wizard is to appear, I will have to wait at least until Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo graduate from Yangseong High School.
Of course, not all wizards from the old generation are such closed-minded creatures, but anyway, there are tendencies. So especially the old generation wizards I know… .
Strictly speaking, Kim Chae-min is also a second-generation wizard, also known as an old-generation wizard. Of course, there is no significant difference in the fundamental aspects of being a wizard, whether you are an old-generation wizard or a new-generation wizard.
“What, what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?”
“… I also thought that Mr. Kim was a wizard.”
Is this how an un-wizard-like way of thinking can show itself? In a sense, it was like a wizard. Un-wizard-like behavior made it like a wizard. It was an interesting irony.
“Is that a compliment or an insult?”
“It depends on how you accept it, Mr. Kim.”
But that’s that and this is this.
If you cool your head and think about it objectively, Kim Chae-min’s suggestion is not unreasonable.
Wasn’t that proud wizard the first to bend? Of course, Kim Chae-min’s lawyer said that it was an unfair contract, but considering the penalty this side would face, it’s actually quite small. The destruction of the world is at stake here… .
No. If you think like this, there is no end to it.
What I’m saying is that in the end, I have to make the decision.
Still, I don’t want to take on the responsibility of being the Great Wizard’s teacher.
“How about this?”
I opened my mouth slowly.
I don’t object to telling Kim Chae-min about the future, except for my hesitation. That hesitation itself is not because I don’t trust Kim Chae-min, but because of the importance of the information.
“Because Mr. Hong said he didn’t want to be my disciple… .”
“yes.”
“If you’re so firm, I’ll get hurt too.”
“But I can’t teach Mr. Kim either.”
“I already taught you?”
“… I don’t think that’s something you only teach to Mr. Kim.”
“But you only teach me the reason why?”
Was this guy originally this logical?
I looked at Kim Chae-min with eyes of disbelief.
“… So, how about you join Mr. Hong’s guild instead of mine?”
Actually, I don’t think this guild was created for this purpose, but whatever. My father’s guild was a one-person guild until it was disbanded when the management office was established, but now I and Sandra Gamble are here too.
It wouldn’t be strange if one more Kim Chae-min were added, and rather, a great magician would be more plausible than a hunter who rolled in from some unknown place or a magic engineer who just graduated from graduate school.
“If it’s at the level of vice-master….”
“No, I said I’m going to become Mr. Woo’s disciple?”
But Kim Chae-min also rejected my compromise.
“Who exactly is the information that Mr. Woo and Mr. Hong are hiding?”
“yes?”
“Is it just information related to the ark? No, it isn’t. Which of you two is it?”
“… … .”
“Not me.”
Hong Seok-young quickly raised the white flag.

“Heejae asked for my permission, but I told him I would leave it up to him to decide.”
“So, Mr. Hong has nothing to do with it?”
“It’s not that there isn’t any information, but it’s information I can’t tell you.”
“see.”
Kim Chae-min looked at me with a smug look on her face for some reason. She was smiling as if she knew I had nowhere to retreat.
“Teacher Woo, you decide.”
Kim Chae-min waved a piece of paper in front of my nose.
“safety device.”
Priest contract.
Kim Chae-min becomes Woo Hee-jae’s disciple.
Kim Chae-min is obligated to keep confidential any information related to the ark or other matters provided by Woo Hee-jae.
If this is violated, Woo Hee-jae will have all rights to the exclusive magic of Kim Chae-min, Kim Kang-yeon, and Kim Young-heon.
I wiped my face with the palm of my hand.
“Let’s… revise the contract. This won’t do.”
“Oh. Really? I thought that was enough.”
Even though it is a formal contract, this is severe.
“No. Let’s put in a more… proper list, even if it’s abbreviated.”
I surrendered.
* * *
Kim Chae-min works as a guest magician at the Paros Research Lab, a subsidiary of Guild Mimi.
“Is this the first one to come? Not the disciple?”
“It’s important to make your affiliation clear, especially in a situation like this.”
“Really? I’m not sure.”
“Think about how the Magical Society will perceive you.”
Kim Chae-min’s eyes sparkled.
If you look at Kim Chae-min, who I have been watching, he probably doesn’t get along well with the academic society. He sometimes gets annoyed by the old people at the academic society.
“Ah! I totally hate that. Okay. Let’s put this in!”
It might be a little clearer to Noah Michel, too.
Among the dungeons that Hope called for attention to, there was no Siren Dungeon. But did Ark have any hand in Kim Chae-min’s death? I can’t say for sure, but I can’t say for sure either.
Even in that time zone, the incident where Kim Chae-min’s territory was attacked by Ark would have happened in the same way.
The same thing happened when Kim Chae-min, enraged by the attack, sealed off his entire territory, and a magic herb grew inside it. Whether Kim Chae-min opened it is another matter. However, since he sealed away the research, data, and various expensive materials he had been working on, he said he went in to look for them this time… I think he must have checked it out before. And if so, the magic herb too.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but there is a high possibility that Kim Chae-min will also become a target of the ark. We must definitely bring him into our fence.
“What about school? Shouldn’t there be a clause that says you have to work at a positive school?”
“Didn’t you sign an employment contract with me?”
I think it should be called a volunteer work application rather than an employment contract.
“Is that okay?”
“Because Yangseong High School and this guild are different. It’s better to belong to a guild, so that’s enough.”
Kim Chae-min looked like she didn’t understand, but this time she let it go. She could hear the explanation once all these procedures were over.
“Then let’s organize the rest like this… and get to the most important part.”
“What should I call you now, Master?”
“no.”
“Ah, if you act so serious, you will hurt my poor disciple!”
“Let’s also take care of that part about teacher and student.”
Kim Chae-min straightened up her body that had been playing around.
“Take care of it? How is it?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to include the terms ‘teacher and disciple.’ Please be more specific…”
I took out a new piece of A4 paper and wrote down the phrase I had in mind.
Woo Hee-jae provides information about the ark and the magical theory that Kim Chae-min requests.
“…Magic theory?”
Kim Chae-min blinked and looked at my face.
“Magic theory? Not even runes?”
Kim Chae-min was purely impressed when I didn’t avoid her gaze.
“Okay, very good. It’s getting more and more fun. I guess I’m starting to feel competitive. It makes me realize how much you’ve been hiding from me.”
It wasn’t just pure admiration, it was also a bit of a whim.
Hong Seok-young also seemed a little surprised, as if he hadn’t expected this to come up. Well, what I pretended to know was mainly runes, not magic.
But if I were to tell Kim Chae-min that I came from the future, wouldn’t it be a loss to only tell her that? Whatever I tell her, telling her that is already taking on a lot of risk. They say that if you add 10 to 10, it becomes 20, but in this case, even if it’s 10, I’ll die, and even if it’s 20, I’ll die.
If the results are the same, there should be at least a little more to be gained.
To me, it was only used to make noisy wizards shut up and do their work, but it might be different for Kim Chae-min, the great wizard Kim Chae-min. Most of the magical theories I know are… .
‘Ah, haha. Magic… Are you interested?’
Untidy black hair. A pale, tired face. Skinny, boney fingers that wiggle and then straighten.
‘I’m having a headache because of the outside wizards. Can you help me?’
Witch Park Seo-hyun stared intently at Hunter Yoo Ji-eun’s face.
‘… … .’
The only people who seemed to listen to Park Seo-hyun were her father, older sister, and Oh Hyun-wook.
Park Seo-hyun soon burst into laughter. I remember being a little surprised by her innocent-looking face, which didn’t match her image of being nicknamed a witch.
‘Okay… Since you’re talking… … .’
Through the messy hair, you can see dark eyes like a dead fish. At first glance, you think the eyes are sparkling with water, but Park Seo-hyun quickly touches her hair and covers her eyes.
‘… … I was going to end my magic with myself anyway, so I hope someone finds out.’
The legacy of the witch Park Seo-hyun will shine from the past twenty years ago.
