I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 296

Will (2)

“Okay, okay. In that state, carefully use your magic… No! Too fast!”

“… Ugh. This is too difficult, teacher.”

Groans begin to arise among the children.

Since I only practiced increasing my power by generating magical power, I expected it to be difficult.

“How long are you going to do only easy things?”

“What are you talking about? I’ve never done anything easy before.”

“Show me what’s really difficult?”

“No! I think this is just right for our level right now!!”

The wizards were following along well, but the other children who had never done delicate magical work before were still struggling.

I didn’t intend to help, but I explained it to at least cheer you up.

“This is a prototype, so it requires some tricky work. It will get better as we upgrade it in the lab.”

“Wouldn’t our skills have improved by then…?”

“That’s it.”

Well, and it’s also because there are still few devices exclusive to the Awakened that recognize users by their magic patterns. When they start to be commercialized in earnest, they’ll be grateful to me.

I looked at Yujin. Her small head was frowning. She was usually a child whose thoughts were easy to read, but…

He furrows his eyebrows and tilts his head and entire body to the left. He slowly builds up his magic and stops. His body tilts to the right. Then, he suddenly raises his head and opens his mouth as if to call me, then he lets out a deep sigh with his shoulders slumped.

It’s fun to watch. I can’t believe that it’s the Yu Ji-eun I know.

Just as Woo I-rok will not become Woo Hee-jae, Yoo Ji-eun will not become Hong Ji-eun.

It’s past the time to be sad or regretful about it. I’ve decided not to look back, and I’ve decided not to superimpose the dead person onto the person in front of me now.

Still, I guess it’s because I’m human that I keep saying goodbye to my family whom I will never see again.

“Ahh!!”

Finally, Yu Ji-eun screamed in surprise. Yu Hye-eun, who was also startled by her younger sister’s scream, looked back.

“what’s the matter?”

“Eww!!”

“What, what is it!”

When Yu Ji-eun screamed again, the children who had ignored her at first started to look back one by one.

Lee Seung-yeon craned her neck and looked at the watch Yu Ji-eun was holding.

“Have you already broken it?”

“No! No… . No… right?”

Yu Ji-eun answered gloomily. The watch on her wrist was spinning around with a blue light on the screen.

Yu Ji-eun called me with a tearful face.

“Hey, teacher!”

“It’s okay, I didn’t break it. Do you want to give me the watch?”

Rough appearance.

If it didn’t glow in response to magic, you’d probably pass it off as just another sports watch.

The gamble was great.

It was something I admired every time, but it still wasn’t enough to warrant praise.

I gave an example of a sports watch that was as similar to the Magic Watch as possible, citing various dungeon environments, and they copied it well. Of course, there are differences if you look closely, but I thought it would work since children wouldn’t be comparing watch designs.

Look, Yu Ji-eun hands me the watch without any suspicion.

This isn’t an emergency signal that can be used inside the dungeon as explained to the children, but rather a collection of magical engineering from twenty years in the future.

I said, pretending to look at my watch.

“I told you it was still being tested. It looks like there was a malfunction. I’ll check and get back to you.”

“yes!”

Yujin quickly regained her energy at my words. Hearing her voice answering with strength, I carefully put my watch in my bosom.

My father and I each have one prototype of the magic watch. The third prototype was supposed to be my sister’s. It would have been right for my sister to have it first, but for some reason, she gave it to me.

At that time, I thought he was trying to make something of a fuss.

No, I had an ulterior motive. I wanted to drag you back to the past, knowing nothing about me.

My father was busy as the head of the management office, and my older sister had a more direct influence on the development of the magic watch, instead of me, who had a hunter’s license but didn’t like entering dungeons. My older sister also conducted all the tests, you know.

My watch and my father’s watch have also been tested by my sister. So, probably, there is one.

Whatever it is.

“The rest of it works fine?”

“yes!”

“The operation is simple. It doesn’t have any special functions anyway.”

Lee Seung-yeon made a twitching expression as if he wanted to nitpick. Among the guys sitting here, he was the one who was most familiar with items related to dungeon raiding. Even with a short description, he would have figured out that this wasn’t something that could be introduced as having no special functions.

This thing came out a few years ago. Of course. I explained with a laugh.

“Honestly, outside of the dungeon, there is a wonderful modern civilization called the cell phone.”

The children nodded.

“But as I said before, this can also be used inside dungeons. That’s the important part.”

You guys aren’t the ones who don’t understand what I’m talking about. I didn’t teach you in such an stupid way.

I put the magic watch in the box and closed the lid. I wouldn’t forget it, but I took care to take care of it in advance so I wouldn’t forget it.

I suppressed the urge to run out of the classroom right away and check.

It’s not like I’m running away because my feet are attached to a magic clock.

I can wait for this short period of time as long as I want.

Now, how would a human being act when he found out that he was going to die soon?

To be precise, what about a human being who knows that he or she can die at any time?

Most hunters knew that their lives were in contact with death. So why did they enter dungeons and fight monsters? Some simply sought wealth and fame, while others wanted to test their power. However, many more dreamed of revenge for the loss of their families. And even fewer reached out for the sweet fantasy of saving people.

Thirty-six-year-old Yu Ji-eun was one of them who dreamed of revenge.

It wasn’t like that from the beginning.

‘When I first woke up, I too… .’

I believed that I would awaken someday. There was no basis for it, but it was just a childish belief. It was fun to lie down every night and imagine what I would do when I woke up. It was also good to have a great adult nearby to emulate. If Hong Seok-young had known that Yoo Ji-eun was thinking like that, he would have been terrified and waved his hand, saying that he was not such a great person.

Young Yu Ji-eun just wanted to follow her older sisters and brothers into the dungeon. She never once thought about wanting power or saving people. Of course, the same goes for words like revenge.

But that’s how Yu Ji-eun’s life went by.

Hong Seok-young regretted putting the choice of revenge into Yu Ji-eun’s life, but Yu Ji-eun did not regret it.

Because she had that option of revenge, Yu Ji-eun barely survived. She got up even when she was drowning in her own blood and dying. She couldn’t close her eyes while the men who hurt her sister were still around.

However, Yu Ji-eun, like many other hunters, did not think that such luck would always follow her. So one day, she made a proposal to Hong Seok-young.

‘Shouldn’t the management office make that too?’

‘that?’

‘A will, that’s it.’

‘Ah. That. We talked about it last time, right?’

‘They’re doing it in the US and UK. It looks okay. The kids are already out of their minds after that damn… lover’s quarrel broke up the team.’

‘Ugh… . Right.’

Although they said it was to bring the hunters affiliated with the government to their senses, it was actually implemented in many countries. This was the case not only for government-affiliated hunters but also for private guilds.

There may be times when you cannot return from the dungeon. So that you can tell your family or loved ones things that you would not normally tell them when the time comes.

“Ugh. You want me to write a will?”

However, the Korean Agency for Abilities Management asked not only the hunters of the dungeon raid team, but also the office workers to write wills.

“okay.”

“No, what kind of office job are you asking me to do?”

“You’re going into the dungeon.”

“… No, but still!”

“The chief of staff gave instructions that even if you’re not part of the strategy team, you’ll be able to experience how dangerous this is if you write a will.”

“… … .”

Woo Hee-jae nodded, as if he understood the explanation, although he made a displeased expression.

Yu Ji-eun was hanging around Woo Hee-jae for no reason.

“Ah, go away!”

“Let me see what it says.”

“It’s done!!”

“Did you write something embarrassing?”

“What good is looking at someone else’s will?”

“Are we strangers?”

“If you think like that, you shouldn’t look at it any more!”

“You know, right?”

“Get out!!!”

Yu Ji-eun left Woo Hee-jae’s office giggling. In front of others, she acts arrogant and says mean things, but at times like this, she still looks like the little brat she was when she first met him.

Even then, he would yell and make noise with the same face as he does now… .

Yujin Yu entered the empty conference room with her laptop.

Actually, it wasn’t the time when I was teasing Woo Hee-jae.

Yujin opened a blank notepad and stared at it intently. Despite being the one who spoke first, there was nothing written on it.

There’s a lot I want to say.

The garage is overflowing.

It’s been over ten years since my sister died. I had despaired that there was nothing left, but precious things have bloomed again, making it seem meaningless.

Oh, who would think of herself now as a girl wearing mourning clothes at a funeral and dreaming of revenge?

Yujin kicked the floor. The chair spun around.

Yu Ji-eun, who had been blinking her eyes with her head tilted back for a while, straightened her back. Yes, if one of the three dies, wouldn’t she be the first to die?

Yu Ji-eun just shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

The blank notepad is filled with letters one by one.

Let’s start simply. With a phrase you can see anywhere.

[If you’re reading this right now, I’m probably dead.]

Woo Hee-jae is going to swear.

Yu Ji-eun erased the text. Since she was planning to hire a lawyer to handle the property and other issues anyway, this was one of the few opportunities she had to honestly express her feelings.

Anyway, it will be revealed after death. There is nothing that cannot be said until then.

Yu Ji-eun smiled wryly.

The erased notepad is rewritten with text.

[If you don’t admit it even at this moment, then that’s something you can’t do.

Teacher, do you remember what you said to me the day you brought my sister and me here?

The teacher said he didn’t want to be a father. Maybe he said that to show that he was different from that person who didn’t even want to be called father… But still.

Teacher, you are my father.

Thank you for bringing me.

Thank you for giving my sister and I the opportunity to enjoy our childhood.

Thank you for raising me.]
