“Pixies can fly and act in groups, so their risk is assessed as high. But each individual object is not that strong. Above all, the bones are weak and cannot be crushed even by a mild impact… .”

I felt like I was back in the old days.

Even if we say it was a long time ago, it was only two months and a little more than a year ago.

Just before the vacation, I wrote a strategy plan and gave a strategy briefing as usual.

Usually, the written plan was first confirmed by the head of the department.

It was the same this time too.

‘It’s already been written?’

It is a C-level dungeon that doesn’t even have a name. It even went through thinning once. You can write a strategy plan for such a dungeon with your eyes closed.

Before I had even turned a few pages of the plan, Hong Seok-young raised his head and looked at me.

‘… ‘Did you write it well?’

‘why. Are you dissatisfied even if you use it well?’

‘No, it’s written so well. ‘Have you used it much?’

‘Isn’t this something everyone knows how to do?’

‘It would be great if it was something everyone knew how to do.’

Hong Seok-young carefully examined each and every page of the plan. After he finished reading, he went back to the beginning.

‘Our children should know how to do this too.’

‘Are you writing a plan?’

‘There are many people who can write the plan itself for you. But dungeon analysis is different. I thought Daseon also wrote a guide in detail, but looking at what you did, it turns out that it was written with your own hands.’

I didn’t have anything to say, so I just shrugged my shoulders.

To keep it short and easy to understand, I said it was the head’s secretary’s office. In reality, there were many times when I was treated that way. But this is exactly what I was doing. The main tasks of the Dungeon Strategy Situation Room.

Dungeons where the risk level has once increased rarely decrease again. From level 2 onward, a strategy guide is created even if the level is level 3, as it becomes an immediate target.

We send out an investigation team to check if there are any changes from the existing situation, and if there is any changed information, we reflect it… .

Even if the risk does not change, the dungeon ecology can change at any time, so older dungeons send out investigation teams periodically.

In fact, it was a job that the head of the division should oversee, but the head of the division was busy so I systematized the work that was being done roughly among the employees.

Why did you work so hard?

If I think about it now, there would have been no problem if I had taken it a little easier.

What kind of wealth and fame do you want to enjoy? It was all ruined anyway, wasn’t it? My pension was gone too.

Anyway, considering the plan written by the management office, what Hong Seok-young is reading is really nothing more than scribbles.

But seeing Hong Seok-young reading it intently… .

‘… ‘Can I at least give you a briefing?’

‘hmm?’

Those words came out without me even knowing.

I think it was just because the face reading the plan looked so much like the old man.

‘Don’t worry about the kids.’

‘When did you start acting like you were going to bully the kids whenever you entered the dungeon?’

‘Because they are still harassing me.’

Hong Seok-young chuckled at my words.

It wasn’t the person I knew, but to my annoyance, the face I still missed was there.

“Even your current skills are enough to match me.”

The first briefing since that day.

I’m human too, so I can be a bit emotional. Hong Seok-young, Park Seo-hyun, and Oh Hyun-wook are also listening to me. There is no Yoo Ji-eun, but Yoo Hye-eun, Yoo Ji-eun’s older sister, is there… . After finding out, she looked so much like her sister that I wondered why I didn’t recognize her.

So, let’s just say Yoo Ji-eun.

You might mistake it for an ordinary management office briefing time.

Humans are such foolish animals. It’s not my fault.

“The rough explanation is this… . After lunch, we have individual meetings in the afternoon. “I want each of you to think about what you lack against Pixie.”

Still, we’ve never exchanged jokes like this before. Except for a few, the management office hunters did not feel very comfortable with me.

Until today, I am still immersed in old memories. Anyway, if you’re preparing to enter the dungeon with the kids, you’ll be so busy that you won’t have time to get depressed.

Until today. Just until today… .

I thought so.

exactly,

“Well, I… . I want to quit school… .”

Until Park Seo-hyun started shouting like a bolt from the blue.

* * *

I misjudged Park Seo-hyun.

I had no idea that my mentality would be this weak.

If you think about it, it’s natural. If Park Seo-hyun had boasted a mental strength as strong as steel in the first place, she would never have been called a witch.

Sometimes, like the witch Park Seo-hyun, she mutters darkly, but even with her messy hair, Park Seo-hyun got along well with her friends. She even helped Choi Jin-woo draw runes. I think that’s why she let down her guard.

… Even if you regret the past, there is nothing you can change. First, I wanted to find a way to appease Park Seo-hyun, so I tried getting her to open her mouth first.

“I can’t even use magic properly! “How can you call yourself a wizard!”

Then what he said was very shocking.

I realized that once again I had been seriously mistaken.

Park Seo-hyun is not just mentally weak. It’s extremely weak and has a strange tendency to crash.

I think I came to that conclusion after some logical thinking… .

In the first place, so… That logic itself is wrong. It was wrong from the start.

Why did the child grow up like this?

I don’t know much about Park Seo-hyun because I’ve only seen him a few times due to work at the management office. Look at the warning signs plastered on the reports the employees were handing over. Didn’t those people leave half of everything to Yoo Ji-eun?

The operation was changed. I gave up trying to soothe him and gently scratched his insides. She hasn’t completely turned into a witch yet, so it can be seen in her twitching hands and shoulders.

“They say I’m not qualified to become a wizard. “There must be a reason for thinking that way.”

So I spoke more harshly than usual.

Even when I was a witch, I was stubborn and didn’t even listen to what others said. Even though I gave him a detailed guide, he didn’t even pretend to read it. I was upset at that time… I can’t say that I didn’t go into it very much.

“But what are you complaining about?”

ah. My shoulders twitch again. You can’t see the eyes because of the hair covering the face, but you can see the mouth.

He doesn’t seem to know it, but his clenched jaw is creaking.

To be honest?

It was funny.

No, I’m not saying I find children’s worries funny.

“I need to be able to become an archmage.”

“Grand Wizard?”

“But I am neither qualified nor talented to become an archmage.”

Even though he pretends not to, he is flinching at every word I say.

The fact that the kid who will become an archmage in five years is saying these things.

Park Seo-hyun, who slaughtered monsters with ruthless magic, was sometimes this young.

So I got excited and tried some more. It seemed like just a little more and it would be over.

“Or, after all, basic magic isn’t even magic?”

“no! “That’s not it!”

“That’s what you’re saying right now.”

Park Seo-hyun is staring straight at me. A child who was crying just a moment ago, telling him to leave this world.

“It’s been less than half a year since she awakened, and it’s been over ten years for me!”

If it hadn’t happened in Myeongdong, wouldn’t Park Seo-hyun have become such a witch?

But even now, it’s not really because of Myeongdong.

“And me!!”

It looks like you’ve been thinking about it for a long time, unrelated to Myeongdong. ruler. hurry. Tell me what you’re thinking in that little head.

“I also know unique magic!”

This is it.

The reason that bothered Park Seo-hyun.

“It’s not that I don’t know the formulas, I know them all! It’s not just about knowing! “I understand!”

I know the future Park Seo-hyun. It is a kind of answer sheet.

Park Seo-hyun didn’t have anyone by her side except Oh Hyun-wook. However, because Park Seo-Hyun herself stood out so much, she tended to receive a lot of attention in one way or another. The management office knows information that is not known to the public.

As far as I know, Park Seo-hyun has no teacher.

The unique magic used by Park Seo-hyun was developed by Park Seo-hyun herself. At the young age of only twenty-three.

But you know the formula?

“… I said no. I am.”

I don’t think the witch would have said that she created it based on someone else’s formula.

“You know unique magic?”

“yes… yes?”

“how? “How do you know?”

“Grandpa… Before he passed away, he taught me about other magics.”

“Grandpa… .”

I may not know Kim Chae-min’s family history, but I know Park Seo-hyun’s family history. Isn’t it very dramatic?

Unfortunately, after the grandfather died young, the remaining granddaughter became a witch, so it was not a cozy fairy tale.

A grand wizard grandfather who raised the granddaughter left behind by his son.

So, when it became known that Park Seo-hyun used unique magic, many people predicted that she would naturally follow her grandfather and use light-type magic.

But surprisingly, Park Seo-hyun showed off a completely new magic. It’s also a shadow magic that is completely opposite to his grandfather’s.

The magic of Park Seo-hyun’s grandfather, Park No-kyung, was so famous that he became a talker for a long time. There is no magic before or since Park No-kyung that guides you directly to the dungeon core. As Park Seo-hyun was confirmed to be a shadow type, that magic was also lost… I thought.

Park Seo-hyun knows?

“Park Seo-hyun.”

It doesn’t matter if Park Seo-hyun can’t write it. If only I knew the formula, if only I had a talented light magician learn it… !

“You can become a great wizard.”

Park Seo-hyun, who had been squirming, stopped moving and looked straight up at me.

I said I was unqualified, I had no talent, I would rather drop out, or give up, but who would look at me in those eyes and think I would calmly let go of magic?

“You have talent.”

I understood a formula that I could never use with my own magic power. Even I, who am not a wizard, know how great this is, but does Park Seo-hyun not know?

Intrinsic magic refers to the release of magical energy extracted from the magical energy dissolved in the wizard’s blood and refined into a magical form. This is why most wizards take family members as students. If the same blood flows, there is a high chance of inheriting the same magic.

Of course, it’s not enough just to be of the same blood. Unique magic is optimized for the person concerned. Kim Chae-min’s magic, which has been passed down through three generations, is slightly different depending on the caster, even if it is the same magic.

However, if the nature of magical power is similar, it is possible to use magic even if you are not related by blood. Conversely, even if you are related by blood, if the nature of magical power is completely different, you cannot inherit it. Park Seo-hyun is this case.

“I will make you a great wizard.”

Anyway, Park Seo-hyun is a child who will become a great wizard on her own. If only the series is known in advance and the direction is given, the time will be shortened further.

It’s also a good thing for Park Seo-hyun.

“Sir, teacher… yo. this?”

Park Seo-hyun asked with a doubtful expression.

“Teacher, you are not a wizard… .”

“Just because you’re not a wizard doesn’t mean you don’t know much about magic. Have you forgotten who is teaching you runes now?”

“uh… .”

Park Seo-hyun pursed her lips.

“I’m not saying I’m going to teach you magic. “I’m going to teach you how to become a great wizard.”

“… … .”

“You are a child who can do everything.”

I took off my hand that was supporting Park Seo-hyun’s chin. Still, Park Seo-hyun looked at me without lowering his head.

“Anyway, I’m the homeroom teacher of the magic class. It’s just like giving instructions to a student… .”

easy.
