Branch manager duties (2)
Regardless of whether there is mind-blowing news or not, Lee Mi-seon’s day is still busy.
Still, I feel a little more mentally stable here than in the Daseon building, which also serves as the Korean branch of the Information Department of the International Association of Talents, in Seoul.
The reason is none other than…
“Ahh!”
“evil!”
Could it be because of the children’s screams coming from outside?
I’m not saying it’s fun to see children suffer, but why? Isn’t that right? Sometimes, adults who are worn out and tired of society get a boost of energy when they hear children talking brightly.
I was also jealous of the kids who could focus on training without any worries.
My father’s villa is one-story, but the garden is lower than the building. Lee Mi-seon stood by the window and looked down. She, like Hong Seok-young and Woo Hee-jae, was not the type of girl to look after her hands, so everyone was rolling on the grass equally.
Well, Hong Seok-young is running it now.
Lee Mi-seon looked away. On the other side of the spacious garden are Woo Hee-jae and Kang Tae-woo.
Since it is not made of earth like in the demonstration test, fire cannot be used. Then I wondered what he was doing and looked to see that he had brought a yoga mat from somewhere, laid it down and was meditating.
… meditation?
No, of course meditation is also a good training method.
There is nothing better than meditation to soothe the mind and body and adapt to magical power. Although it may be slow, there are no side effects and you can see definite results.
Still, it cannot be denied that this is a method that wizards use more often.
“Hmm.”
Lee Mi-seon’s eyes sparkled.
Come to think of it, Woo Hee-jae had extensive knowledge not only of runes but also of magic. Even meditation that seems ordinary at first glance may have different effects.
At least Kang Tae-woo looked comfortable.
He seemed anxious when I went to the daycare center he was staying at a few days ago, but he has stabilized a lot now. He was only embarrassed by Alex Hope’s attack that day, but now he seems to have completely gotten over it.
When I think of that, I can’t help but think of my nephew. She may be a bit rude sometimes, but she’s not that sensitive.
Lee Mi-seon chased away thoughts about her nephew. She decided to leave it alone until Sunday, so she could think about it after that.
Anyway, it’s good that Kang Tae-woo has found stability. His sister’s beaded bracelet may have helped in its own way.
Lee Mi-seon said as she extended the bracelet loop so that Kang Tae-woo could wear it.
‘Still, it would be a good idea to take it off when moving your body vigorously. ‘Because it might break.’
Kang Tae-woo bowed his head and said thank you. He’s a good kid. He wished he hadn’t been stuck in the lab like that.
Kang Tae-woo told me many things other than finding the director’s notebook at the orphanage. He mainly talked about why he was at the institute and how he spent his time there.
Actually, there wasn’t much information that Lee Mi-seon could use, but isn’t it better than not knowing?
Above all, I was able to hear the story about Woo Hee-jae.
‘And then… ‘Teacher.’
‘I’m going to go out for a moment. ‘I’m talking.’
Woo Hee-jae left without hearing an answer.
Kang Tae-woo shrugged his shoulders in surprise.
‘Well, I… sorry?’
‘no. are you okay. Teacher Wu… .’
Lee Mi-sun remembered Woo Hee-jae’s face pouring out about her past to Kang Tae-woo in the early morning.
There was no facial expression to the point of being scary. Blurry eyes, unsure whether he was looking at Kang Tae-woo or himself. Hands that were clenched and unclenched over and over again. A cracked voice.
I even remember Hong Seok-young, who had at least heard about Woo Hee-jae’s past, asking her not to ask too much until Mr. Woo told her first.
‘… ‘It’s because the teacher is worried about my younger brother.’
‘ah… .’
Kang Tae-woo nodded with a dark expression.
I thought I was acting like an adult, but in reality, I may have just been nervous. Even though his own past was revealed, and even the fact that he called Woo Hee-jae because he had an intention for something was known, the fact that he did not blame himself may have lightened Kang Tae-woo’s shoulders. It may be thanks to Woo Hee-jae’s honest answer to Kang Tae-woo’s question.
‘So, what did Teacher Wu do?’
Kang Tae-woo smiled with a flushed face.
The original appearance of a boy who spent half of his short seventeen life inside an illegal laboratory was much more colorful than expected. The shy smiling face looked like a child of that age.
It was a welcome change.
‘Honestly, I didn’t really like No. 12. Oh, but does this hunter know the name of number 12?’
‘I heard you can call me sister.’
‘Well, still… .’
‘Number 12, Mr. Woo’s younger brother? I heard your name saying you were looking for your younger brother. Don’t you know?’
‘The researchers called us by our numbers, but we secretly called each other by our names. All you have to do is make sure the researchers can’t hear it.’
Kang Tae-woo pouted his lips.
‘But they didn’t teach me number 12 until the end.’
‘Try to be stubborn because you might be Teacher Wu’s younger brother. ‘Tell me your name?’
‘yes!’
However, Kang Tae-woo quickly shook his head.
‘… no.’
‘Don’t teach me?’
‘I want to hear from her directly…’ .’
‘directly?’
‘Since it’s not a research institute anymore, I’ll teach you.’
Kang Tae-woo grumbled and said. Still, the expression is not very dark. It’s better than being buried in her sister’s death.
But sometimes the death of a family member strikes a person unexpectedly. Let’s keep an eye on Kang Tae-woo. Since there are adults around, they can take good care of you.
However, it seems like it would be better to consult with a proper doctor.

It’s not just Kang Tae-woo. Oh Hyun-wook and Seo Han-seong must have been traumatized quite deeply. Lee Mi-seon sighed inwardly.
After all, we need to somehow find a psychiatrist to look after the children… .
‘Anyway, the teacher didn’t pay much attention to the other kids except No. 12.’
Kang Tae-woo started talking again.
‘I still don’t know why No. 12 was given such special treatment.’
‘Are you sad?’
‘We didn’t even know each other at the time, so what’s there to be sad about?’
Kang Tae-woo said coldly.
This part is also mature.
‘But sometimes, when the kids got scolded by the researchers, I would quietly stop them.’
‘Teacher Wu?’
‘I think the teacher couldn’t approach us because there were researchers.’
‘Things like that happen, too.’
‘Sohee fell once. I happened to fall on the side where the toy was, and there was blood. ‘I think my forehead was torn somewhere.’
‘oh… .’
You weren’t seriously hurt. Was it okay?
I couldn’t ask that. This is because So Hee found out that her child was Kang Tae-woo’s dead sister.
Kang Tae-woo didn’t pay much attention to Lee Mi-seon’s reaction.
‘But the teacher who was watching No. 12 play suddenly stood up!’
‘He woke up?’
So Lee Mi-seon only added the appropriate amount of chuimsa.
‘After looking at Sohee’s forehead like this, he hugged her and left the playroom!’
‘Oh my goodness.’
‘We can’t go out like that in the first place. But while the researchers were saying something to the teacher, I don’t know what the teacher said, but he suddenly started shaking. Then, you gently treat Sohee, right?’
‘That’s cool.’
‘Later, Sohee didn’t eat the cookie that was provided as a snack, so she kept it and secretly gave it to the teacher.’
Perhaps taking care of his younger sister was important to this boy. That may have been the reason why Woo Hee-jae’s attitude suddenly changed after finding out that he was a janitor at the research institute.
‘The janitor stopped Sohee by saying that she wouldn’t eat it even if she gave it to her because she wouldn’t take off her mask in the lab… . Still, they gave it to me.’
‘That’s nice.’
‘Right. Sohee told me later, but the next day, the teacher spoke quietly only to Sohee. ‘It was delicious, thank you.’
He is also a person who is weak towards children.
Lee Mi-seon smiled slightly.
‘I don’t know if I actually ate it or not. Still, it’s important that you said that.’
‘It’s important.’
Kang Tae-woo must have felt thirsty while talking, so he gulped down his drink.
Kang Tae-woo hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
‘I once heard the teacher tell No. 12 that he had to get out alive.’
‘… … .’
‘So I thought you were thinking of leaving the research institute. I graduated first, so I didn’t know what happened after that… I’m glad at least the teacher came out.’
Kang Tae-woo smiled.
‘I hope No. 12 is safe too.’
Lee Mi-seon was somehow choked up so she could barely answer.
‘… okay. I hope I’m safe too.’
“Ahhh!!”
A girl’s distinctive high-pitched scream was heard.
Lee Mi-seon, who was lost in thought, looked at the garden in surprise. Sun Sun, with grass tangled in her hair, was jumping up and showing her frustration.
I was about to go down to see if I was injured, but Sun Sun-jin stepped on the wooden sword she had missed and broke it. Her wooden sword broke in two.
Sun Sun-jin lowered her posture and charged at Hong Seok-young, holding the wooden sword that had been broken in two in both hands.
“… “Look at this?”
In an instant, Sun Sun-jin’s figure disappears from sight. Mi-seon Lee barely caught up with the speed of her beloved younger brother. Sun Sun threw the broken pieces of her wooden sword at Hong Seok-young like a memorized weapon and quickly turned back. She aimed her remaining wooden sword at the back of Hong Seok-young’s neck and stabbed it down, but when Hong Seok-young moved her body to the side and easily avoided it, she left her wooden sword in place and withdrew her body. Pretending to step back from her, she rotates with her left foot as the central axis and kicks Hong Seok-young’s calf… .
The reason Sun Sun-jin’s attack was successful was entirely because Hong Seok-young was watching. If Hong Seok-young’s real skills were true, Sun Sun-jin was already suppressed in the first attack.
But Hong Seok-young is not such a cruel person. No matter what anyone says.
An explosive shout is heard from the garden, which had been quiet for a while.
Hong Seok-young gave Sun Sun-jin a thumbs up. Sunsoon, who had been fuming, soon smiled brightly and jumped up and down.
Seeing that, Lee Mi-seon also laughed happily. Children are growing up.

“Welcome to the right place, Master!”
Unlike the villa where there were no eyes to see, there were many eyes to see at Guild Daseon’s office in the middle of Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.
Here, Lee Mi-seon’s subordinates called him master. Master of Guild Daseon. Another face of Lee Mi-seon.
“What’s going on?”
“There is news the Master has been waiting for.”
“Teacher Wu’s younger brother? I found it?”
“ah. “Not that one.”
Choi Dae-hyeon handed out a tablet PC to Lee Mi-seon. Lee Mi-seon looked puzzled and checked the screen.
“This is an article posted on a foreign hunter site. “It’s been an hour now.”
“okay?”
“yes. “It’s a rune.”
Rune.
Lee Mi-seon read the post right away.
[hey. Do you remember that a Korean guild announced Rune Blah a while ago? There are probably a lot of people who don’t remember. I also read it once because I was wondering who studies trash runes.
Look at this. The explanation is trash too. Calibrating runes? Does it make the rune last longer? Who uses effects like this?
But when I looked up the guild that announced this, I found that it was sponsored by Dayeon. That’s right. I didn’t think they would waste money on something like this, so I grabbed a wizard from our guild who had nothing to do and tested it out.
The explanation is stupid, but I tried this to clear my mind. I was a little distracted because I stayed up all night playing games for a week. Even if you are a hunter, playing games without eating for a week is difficult.
Did you do it anyway? I couldn’t tell from just one piece. But our wizard suddenly started drawing runes with a crazy face. With the same rune. I didn’t count, but I drew about a hundred? And look at this.]
There was a link in the post. Lee Mi-seon smiled and clicked on her link. The video played.
