I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 318

A younger brother’s duty (3)

-That, that’s getting closer and closer? What should I do?!

Wooirok’s expression was clearly flustered, but his voice was clear. He wasn’t panicking yet. It wasn’t a very dangerous situation.

The more this happens, the more I have to come to my senses. I headed to the CEO’s office, holding my cell phone. Damn, I can’t see Imiseon in the hallway anymore. How long has it been since she left? Her feet are fast.

“Wooirok. Where are you now?”

-Me? Me, convenience store!

“Where? The intersection in front of the school?”

-huh!!

“It looks like a person?”

-Blunt? Just the shape?

“What’s the speed?”

The voice on the phone is a little scared, but not out of breath. It means that he is not running away.

-The speed is, uh, slow.

“Can you run away?”

-Uh, uh, uh, you can run away. It’s just so slow.

In my experience, this type of panic spreads easily, especially in young children. If one child starts crying, the others will quickly start crying as well.

So, I shouldn’t panic here. I have to keep my composure on the outside, no matter what.

When I calmly asked about the situation, Wooirok also followed suit and calmed down.

I checked a few more things with Uirok like that.

“Are you alone?”

-No. With the kids.

“Convenience store? That… Did your friends see that blue thing?”

-Okay, I don’t know… Just a moment.

Wooirok’s voice can be heard shouting over the phone.

-Hey! I have to call my brother. Stay inside.

-ok!

-Don’t block the entrance and come in quickly!

I thought I heard the voices of children I had heard before, and then it became quiet.

I don’t know if I should call this… remarkable or what. I think it was a smart decision that could be made in the spur of the moment, but when I think about the fact that my eleven-year-old brother made that decision, I’m not all that… happy.

Still, it was better than being stuck and not being able to do anything. I thought positively. In this situation, it would have been difficult if I had acted like a child of that age.

… I understand why my father liked it when I acted like a child. But now, Wooirok is much more like a child of his age than I am. That’s why socialization is important.

While I was lost in a strange feeling, Wooirok took a moment to catch his breath and called me.

-brother?

“okay.”

-Don’t look at the kids. They keep coming to me.

“Is the speed still the same?”

-huh.

I also happened to arrive at the chairman’s office.

I opened the door and went in without knocking as usual.

“Teacher Woo?!”

“Then go to the school gate quickly.”

-School gate?

“There will be a white car near the school gate. The license plate number is….”

I called out four numbers and saw Im Yi-seon. I don’t know who I’m talking to, but Im Yi-seon must know that license plate number. It’s the car used by the multi-line hunters who watch over Uirok.

Yimiseon’s face hardened.

-I’ll go first, hyung! See you tomorrow!

-Huh? You’re leaving already?

-Brother, you’re here!

Meanwhile, Wooirok greeted his friends carefully.

I think it’s better than panicking, but… If it were a truly dire situation, I wouldn’t do something like that. I tried to console myself.

You have to tell me firmly when you get home.

“The hunter in charge of the school is also near the school right now. I’ll tell him to join me. What’s going on? Who’s chasing me again? He said he only talked with his friends in front of the convenience store, and he didn’t see anyone approaching him.”

Yimiseon spoke while holding her cell phone, as if she had been talking to the hunters. She continued her explanation on the speakerphone.

-Irok is watching now. Kim Hunter is coming down to pick you up.

“Hey, Lee Rok, is there a hunter in front of you?”

-huh!

“Come right away in the car with the old man. Are you still chasing me?”

-Uh… But I think it got a little faster.

“It got faster?”

-Oh, oh. At first, I couldn’t walk properly, but every time I tried to walk, my body would just collapse. It still collapses the same, but I’m getting back up faster.

“Then run faster!”

-Kim Hunter joins Irok!

“Don’t wait for the person in charge of the school dismissal, let’s go right away! Come to Yangseong High School!”

Frowned.

From experience, the form that Uirok saw was magic. It was fortunate that Uirok could see magic. If it weren’t for that, he would have been helpless.

Why are you suddenly targeting Uirok?

“Irock-ah.”

-huh?

“Don’t hang up the phone, keep checking. Okay? See if they’re chasing you or not.”

-… That seems like it would be too slow to chase a car.

“But I still don’t know.”

Who’s after Wooirok?

I look back on the information I have so far. The most likely candidate is Henry Lehman? But I thought he would care about Hong Seok-young.

Based on the information provided by Hope and Gamble, the movement to capture Henry Lehman was centered around police agencies in various countries, thanks to his status as a global criminal.

And because of that identity, it felt a bit distant. Noah Michel was a wizard we had met in the original time period, so I guess it still felt realistic. Isn’t the situation of a villain with an angelic face a regular scene in movies and dramas?

But a criminal? A criminal? Mafia bosses and such were not my responsibility…

I don’t even know where to start, and I feel like there’s nothing I can do, so I’ve left it to Hong Seok-young and Lee Mi-sun.

But if you touch Wooirok, my younger brother, things will be different… .

… … Ah, damn it! The guy who mentioned Park Jung-min to Woo-I-Rok must have something to do with the lab. Then was it Noah Michelle’s doing? Didn’t Hope say that Michelle’s eyes would turn red if she found out that I could ‘see’?

What the hell, why are these f*cking fake bastards causing such a fuss and making things like this?

If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have had a reason to worry about this, I wouldn’t have had to fly back to the past, and the Earth wouldn’t have been destroyed!

“Teacher, are you okay?”

“… Yes. I’m worried about Irok.”

“Right… But what exactly is going on? Who is chasing Irok?”

Yimiseon asked in a cautious voice.

I’m worried about Irok, but more than that, he’s looking around to see if I might suddenly break the table.

I’m not a kid anymore, and I’m long past the age where I can break desks.

I took a deep breath and calmed down my surging magic. I was worried that Uirok might be too calm, but I shouldn’t be excited.

I muted my phone and the sound of my phone. I could hear Wooirok talking to Hunter. If he saw anything, he would tell me, so I hoped the story wouldn’t get out of hand.

“Maybe… it’s magic.”

“Is it magic?”

“Invisible surveillance magic. Since Iroki said he was chasing me, it might not end with surveillance.”

“uh….”

“If you cast both binding and invisibility magic at the same time when making contact, the hunters might lose sight of Iroki. So it’s best to avoid it.”

Yimiseon pursed her lips. It seemed like she had something to ask. It was obvious what she wanted to ask.

I stopped talking. I meant to ask.

“Magic… Second, did Irok know about that?”

“I guess I’ll have to see that when the child comes….”

I clenched and unclenched my fist.

“He must have awakened.”

“… Is this Irok?”

Was it around this time that I woke up?

No, it’s a little early. I woke up closer to summer.

Another proof that Wooirok is a different person from me.

Well, I don’t know exactly when I started seeing him. I wasn’t in a situation where I saw Hunter every day like Wooi-rok. I didn’t have a chance to see Hunter up close at that age, except when my older sister or Oh Hyun-wook took care of him when my father was away from home.

Just because I saw it later than Wooirok, there’s no guarantee that I wouldn’t have seen it at this time.

But each and every little thing makes a difference. The more they add up, the more relieved I feel. Because I will become a different person.

I still feel sorry for taking away Wooirok’s father.

But he has the brother I lost. Maybe he’ll have a father too. He doesn’t have an older sister… though.

I hope that child doesn’t go down the same path as me. I hope that he can laugh and chat without knowing anything in a peaceful world where no one dies.

Just like my father wanted me to be.

“I woke up too.”

“Uh, um.”

Yimiseon rolled her eyes to find something to say. Yimiseon also knows that I am from the Ark and was born through human experimentation. Wooirok also has the same background.

I chuckled.

“Even if that weren’t the case, there’s a high probability that Awakening is hereditary. Your biological mother and older brother are Awakened.”

“Oh, so that’s why you felt magic?”

Yim Ji-seon felt that the topic was too heavy and quickly changed the subject.

“When you first wake up, your senses are very sensitive. It’s fortunate that you think that way. Otherwise, you would have been hit.”

“… Which one?”

“yes?”

“Henry Lehmann? Noah Michel?”

“… … .”

I looked at the line quietly.

“I don’t know. But shouldn’t we find out?”

“…how?”

“Can you please call Mr. Kim?”

I shook my phone.

“Because of this, it’s a bit difficult for me to move.”

* * *

The white car carrying Wooirok arrived at school 10 minutes earlier than I expected, along with the black car in charge of returning home.

Even if you can only see the blue shape in Uirok, if you can’t feel the magical power that has become that fierce, you should quit being a hunter.

Inside the car, which had been parked on the playground as if sliding, one hunter carried Uirok around his shoulders while the other got out with Uirok’s backpack tucked under his arm.

“brother!”

I sent Wooirok back. As I had said before, Yimiseon took the child inside.

I frowned belatedly.

“I thought about it.”

“yes?”

Kim Chae-min activated the barrier surrounding the school building. Vines grew from the flowerbed she had tended with her children and wrapped around the exterior walls of the building.

“I don’t think I should have brought this here… .”

“Because of the kids?”

“No, I don’t like it. This is a school after all. You shouldn’t be using this as your headquarters.”

“The kids liked it.”

“That’s why it’s more of a problem.”

“But it’s already too late. We can’t disperse the already small number of personnel any further.”

Roses blooming from vines cover the window in time with Kim Chae-min’s gestures.

“And as long as I have my eyes open, there’s no way you can go inside the building. I won’t allow it.”

Green sprouts are sprouting in abundance on the dirt-filled playground. The fresh grass sways like waves. These are the seeds that Kim Chae-min has been planting. Kim Chae-min has created a space that makes him almost invincible by combining with his grandfather’s magic.

“That’s very believable.”

“Ah, what a tone of voice I don’t believe at all!”

I shrugged.

The blue shape that Uirok had mentioned appeared in the distance. It was no longer the slow and clumsy magic that could be kicked away even by a child’s foot. The magic was so thick that it hurt the eyes, and it was almost running down the road at a gallop.

I don’t know who that guy is, but he’s really good at controlling that annoying thing.

I took out the window.
