The Almighty Wizard (2)
‘Come to think of it.’
One day, Woo Hee-jae asked me.
‘Mr. Kim is different from the magicians I know.’
When was it? It was when I still didn’t know Woo Hee-jae’s true identity. When I was lured by the rune that Woo Hee-jae showed me and decided to work at Yangseong High School, no, at Sibeom High School.
It was the time when he was learning various runes by pestering Woo Hee-jae and starting to become close to the students of the model high school.
‘Me?’
Kim Chae-min laughed at those words.
‘I think the magician that Mr. Woo talks about is more amazing.’
‘…Is that so?’
‘What wizard would spread the results of his research like that?’
‘hmm.’
‘Even if I make a hundred concessions and say it’s possible, you’re telling that to someone who’s not a magician? That’s ridiculous.’
‘Why? It would make more sense than telling a fellow wizard.’
‘… … Now that I think about it, that’s true too.’
‘What do you think Mr. Kim will do?’
‘yes?’
‘What if Mr. Kim discovers or creates something incredible, and it’s in danger of being buried?’
‘well.’
Kim Chae-min answered nonchalantly.
‘Anyway, when I die, all my research, property, and such will all go to my mother. She will take care of it.’
‘…Mother?’
‘Yes. My mother is neither a wizard nor an Awakened one, so I don’t know how much she would understand. But it’s more fun that way, right?’
‘fun?’
‘Whether my mother publishes it, sells it, or gets rid of it, it looks interesting either way. It’s a shame I won’t be able to see it.’
I don’t know what Woo Hee-jae’s expression was at that time. At the time, Kim Chae-min thought of Woo Hee-jae as a vending machine that spits out runes.
That’s why you never know what will happen in human affairs. Even wizards, being human, can’t know everything.
It was the same on the day Kim Chae-min became a magician.
Unfortunately, there was no grandfather or father who were magicians there. However, the grandmother who had a son who was a magician immediately noticed her granddaughter’s condition.
‘oh my!’
Grandma didn’t congratulate me.
‘They’re not satisfied with my son, they’re even taking my granddaughter!’
Kim Chae-min, who had just become a wizard, did not understand what his grandmother was saying.
Only after much time had passed did Kim Chae-min understand why her grandmother had hated her granddaughter’s awakening.
‘grandma!’
‘Our Chaemin. You’re wearing pretty clothes today?’
‘These are the clothes my grandmother made for me!’
‘That’s why it’s a pretty dress.’
Eight-year-old Kim Chae-min hugged her grandmother, her floral-embroidered skirt fluttering.
Although she did not want her granddaughter to become a magician, that did not mean she did not love her granddaughter. Kim Chae-min’s grandmother took care of her granddaughter by making and dressing her herself.
‘Chaemin, you have to listen to Grandma’s words carefully. Okay?’
‘huh?’
And whenever he had the chance, he would say something to the effect of,
‘Just because you can do something others can’t, doesn’t mean you can trample on them.’
‘Of course, Grandma!’
‘You must never become a beast, Chae Min-ah.’
Grandma hit the nail on the head with her magician-like existence.
beast.
The magician listening might be offended, but unfortunately, Kim Chae-min also agreed with that statement. So, the sixteen-year-old great magician Kim Chae-min held her grandmother’s hand tightly and answered.
‘Don’t worry, Grandma. Chaemin can do it.’
Those were my grandmother’s last words.
Kim Chae-min, who grew up with a grandfather who was a great wizard, a father who was also a great wizard, and a grandmother and mother who were not even awakened, was considered a heretic among wizards.
If it weren’t for the reputation of being a great wizard passed down through three generations, life might have been quite difficult. But, well. Kim Chae-min was a great wizard. There was only one rule that applied in the world of beasts.
Survival of the fittest.
Kim Chae-min was a hunter. He had never been hunted.
In this way, Kim Chae-min became a lonely ruler rather than a heretic.
However, that did not mean that those who were not magicians, unawakened, awakened, or hunters were kind to Kim Chae-min. In their eyes, Kim Chae-min was still a magician, a beast that ruled.
The wizard who didn’t belong anywhere was lonely because he couldn’t become a beast. Yes, he was lonely. But his grandmother’s teachings always remained in his heart.
‘This old lady wants Chae-min to always be among people. Right?’
Even if he’s a wizard, he’s still human.
‘Look at your grandfather. He has no friends and is a total loner.’
‘No, why are you harassing me again!’
‘You shouldn’t resemble your grandfather. Your father is exactly the same, very much. If you’re going to resemble him, resemble your mother. Okay? Oh my, how did that kid end up marrying your father…?’
‘mother!!’
‘You shouldn’t believe everything Heodae says… Look at that guy. Chaemin, don’t be fooled just because he’s your dad.’
‘mom!!!’

That’s how the great wizard Kim Chae-min grew up as a person.
* * *
I am mixed with the wind.
Kim Chae-min saw people moving busily. Laughing, talking, and in some places getting angry, yelling, and getting annoyed.
When you close your eyes, a different world unfolds instead of the vibrant world. A static world where no sound can be heard. But at the same time, it is more dynamic than any other place.
Kim Chae-min closed her eyes and stretched out her magical power like a net.
Fortunately, the area that had to be searched was set. If it had been necessary to search the entire area, it would have taken a long time. Kim Chae-min checked the address that he had heard from Im-seon once more and continued his work. Things began to get caught in the net of magic one by one. Kim Chae-min frowned and moved his fingers impatiently.
Sometimes people misunderstand Kim Chae-min. To be exact, it is a misunderstanding about the wizard Kim Chae-min.
Misunderstandings are inevitable. That’s understandable, because those misunderstandings started over fifty years ago with Kim Chae-min’s grandfather, Kim Young-heon.
The concept of modern magic originated in the West and spread to Asia. It’s not that there were no magicians in Asia, but because most of the major magic societies were located in Europe, there is still a perception that the birthplace of magic is Western Europe, including England and France.
Therefore, the magical properties are also based on Western myths and legends. Basic natural properties such as water and fire are easy to understand, but there are also vague properties. To be honest, not many people know exactly what Kim Chae-min’s property, Druid, means.
Especially in the old days when wizards could freely name and change their attributes, it was worse, if not worse.
In those days, the Druid order had many meanings. Those who worked with plants called themselves Druids, and so did those who worked with animals. Even healers, as they were not classified separately as they are today, called themselves Druids.
So when international standards for attributes were created, Archmage Kim Young-heon quickly took the title of Druid simply because he was an Archmage.
And the druid wizards were defined as those who grow plants.
‘My grandfather was weak. That’s why he might have been able to marry my grandmother.’
It seemed too cold to be an evaluation of one’s own grandfather.
Things that received Kim Chae-min’s magic move. They become eyes and noses and convey information to Kim Chae-min. It’s been a long time since I used it, but it’s a magic that I instinctively knew how to use since I first learned magic. I’m not bound by such trivial things.
Kim Chae-min waited until the sun set, organizing the information he felt. Until the sun set and night fell, and the people who had been working late into the night in the factories and warehouses left one by one. And then he waited for a long time until finally there was not a single person in sight on the streets.
Kim Chae-min moved her hunched body here and there. Even when there were no people, the street was brightly lit by streetlights. Kim Chae-min crossed the middle of the road without hesitation. She didn’t worry that someone might see her. After all, it would be easy to hide one’s appearance if one used magic.
I spent nearly half a day thoroughly searching the area around the problematic warehouse.
Growing plants? You’d think so, considering the three generations of Druid wizards have been making flowers bloom so beautifully. And you’re not wrong.
However, since they were descendants of three great magicians, their research on attributes was more active than that of any other magician family.
Kim Chae-min’s grandfather was not the first druid magician. A magician in the early 1900s who called himself the forerunner of modern druids claimed to be able to hear the voices of plants and animals.
‘I don’t know if the magic still exists. It was still depleted when I checked five years ago.’
And the same was true of the Asian Druid, Kim Young-heon.
Even if it is not a plant that you have grown yourself, you can read the information it contains. It is more certain for animals than plants. You can’t know everything from 1 to 10, but you can narrow it down to the point where you can usually tell that the number you are looking for is between 2 and 5.
Even more so if you are sure about what you are looking for.
A rat passes by Kim Chae-min’s feet. Kim Chae-min releases the magic that was holding the rat in place. The rat spins around in place as if it has lost its bearings, and then disappears into the sewer.
Kim Chae-min snorted.
“It’s fun.”
Kim Chae-min entered the warehouse cautiously. There was no magic alarm. She could enter with her eyes closed.
Physically locked windows are powerless against the great wizard. With a few gestures, the lock is easily unlocked by the movement of magical power that can hardly be called magic. Even if footsteps echo, the sound does not spread. Even if someone were to pass by, they would not see Kim Chae-min right in front of them.
Wizards can do many things. They just don’t think they can because they are too proud to be different from others.
If nothing had happened, Kim Chae-min probably wouldn’t have shown that he knew how to do it.
‘What? You know how to do something fun?’
If only I hadn’t met that old man who smiled as if he had found a fun toy.
‘Are you bored with being a wizard?’
‘…I don’t really understand what you’re talking about.’
‘Would you like to catch some bad guys with me?’
The first motivation was boredom. I was also curious about the fact that the strongest hunter in South Korea was personally scouting me.
My grandmother’s words also lingered in my head.
“Ah, but this is….”
Kim Chae-min cleared away the pile of boxes and went down to the basement. She felt an uneasy tangle of magical power, as if she had called a magician to create an underground passage. She didn’t want to go in because it seemed like it would collapse at any moment… .
Even if it wasn’t because of Hong Seok-young and Woo Hee-jae’s disappearance, it had to be confirmed.
because.
“… It’s true.”
I wasn’t surprised because I had already received the information. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t confused.
Kim Chae-min quietly watched the blue light swirling around and distorting the space.
It’s a familiar sight to the point of being annoying.
Because it was a dungeon gate.
‘Or you could just be a wizard.’
Kim Chae-min thought of the hunter who was winking playfully.
By the way, I declined the offer to catch the bad guys.
‘Excuse me. Mr. Hong Hunter.’
‘hmm?’
‘Is that offer still valid?’
Before some bastards destroy the territory.
Kim Chae-min entered the gate without hesitation.
