It seems that there is no problem now, but Merlin’s diagnosis was that if the magic circle was activated for a long time, it would definitely cause a malfunction.

‘Is it so frustrating not being able to say something really wrong is wrong?’

Anyone who says that the runes are wrong at first will create a situation where anyone will be suspicious.

After some thought, Merlin opened her mouth.

“Before I tell you, please promise me one thing.”

“Appointment?”

“Yeah. Don’t be angry.”

“Okay… so let me tell you.”

Merlin said calmly, looking at the deputy director with a shaky expression on his face.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a feeling.”

“···feeling?!”

When the deputy director opened her mouth to think that she had heard something wrong, the researchers who were observing it burst into laughter.

“Ha! it’s a feeling It’s a nonsensical thing to say.”

“I was expecting something else, but it didn’t sound like much.”

Ignoring that reaction, Merlin continued her speech.

“That’s why I didn’t want to tell you.”

“It’s a feeling… it’s a feeling…. You sound funny.”

“Everything else is fine, but that text… is that a torturer?”

“Yes.”

“Anyway, it feels like that torturer has been forced into something that shouldn’t be there.”

“········································································?!”

Quiet Merlin’s voice.

The deputy chief’s eyes widened at this.

He recalled the report he had heard from the guard captain before coming to the lab.

***

“I found the Vice-President!”

The deputy commander answered with a grim face to the cry of the commander of the guard who came to the office at once.

“What do you mean?”

“The outsider who entered the lab that day, the deputy director said!”

“········································································?!”

Deputy Director Carlton jumped to his feet.

“Sah, is that true?!”

Carleton’s eyes filled with anticipation.

For half a year, she found a fault in the circuit she was researching and disappeared, a mysterious being.

After purging all the researchers for a few days, no suspicious existence appeared anywhere.

Because of this, Carlton shifted his suspicions outside of his lab, rather than inside.

However, something that had never happened before suddenly popped up.

“What happened?”

“Haha, the guy who was on the lunch patrol that day was probably on vacation. When I asked the guy who returned today, there was an outsider who entered the lab around lunch that day.”

“Hey, who is that?”

“It was a cadet. Academy cadets.”

“Huh… Academy?”

Carleton groaned at the unexpected appearance.

A mysterious genius who disappeared after solving what even researchers called the country’s gifted man did not know.

Moreover, this was the only place where torturers could be learned.

Carleton, whose eyes lit up, asked excitedly.

“That, so? Where did the cadet go to the academy? Howard? Rockford? Or, MI-Sun Academy? right!”

Carlton recites the academy that the empire’s gifted people attend.

If they could find out where it was, they had the momentum to bring the cadet away at any moment.

At this, the commander of the guard looked embarrassed.

“that···.”

Hesitating to answer, he muttered quietly.

“This is Genesis…”

“···where?”

“This is the Genesis Academy.”

“Genesis… Genesis… Was there such an academy?”

Carlton struggles to come up with the name Genesis.

Soon he asked in disbelief.

“Are you talking about that Knight Academy?”

“Yeah, yes.”

“…you didn’t do anything wrong?”

“no. I looked up my visit records just in case, but the only academy I visited that day was the Genesis Academy!”

“·················ogue.”

Carleton was at a loss for words at the confident words of the commander of the guard.

Soon he told the guard to bring a guard who had seen a mysterious genius and left the office for a while.

***

A mysterious genius who threw himself into confusion.

And a young security guard who goes to the same academy as him.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

At that moment, the words of the research director and the words of the young security guard alternated in Carlton’s mind.

‘I don’t feel any discomfort at all. It’s like a puzzle that should just fit in this place has found its place.’

‘It feels like that torturer is being forced into a place where something shouldn’t be.’

The moment the two interlocked, an unknown excitement rose in Carleton’s stomach.

He called the researcher behind him.

“You!”

“Yeah?”

“Go to my office and bring the man with the captain of the guard.”

“Yeah?”

“hurry!”

“Oh, yes!”

Carleton, who had sent the researcher on an errand, turned to Merlin.

“Wait here for a while.”

“It is.”

Merlin with an apathetic face.

It took less than five minutes for his expression to change.

“Did you call?”

The commander of the guard came.

And.

‘uh? Me… a person?!’

Merlin’s eyes widened as he saw the guards following behind the captain.

Carleton watched Merlin only, then he saw that reaction and smiled faintly.

He looked at the man behind the guard and asked.

“You were on lunch patrol that day?”

“Yeah. That’s right!”

“Is it possible that the academy student you saw that day… was this friend?”

Carlton pointed a finger at Merlin.

With him, the guard’s gaze naturally turned to Merlin.

“uh?!”

The security guard looked surprised.

He nodded his head vigorously.

“No, that’s right! It was my friend.”

“haha. what do you mean I’m seeing it for the first time today, right?”

Merlin struggled to make excuses when something strange was going on.

Carlton smiled at this.

“Aren’t you that friend?”

“no! I definitely remember! I don’t know anything else, but I remember people’s faces well! Blonde and green eyes! His tone is sullen, but his eyes are unusually bubbly!”

Merlin’s eyebrows twitched at the guard’s words.

‘···What the hell?!’

Merlin, who grew annoyed.

Looking at Merlin like that, Carlton asked.

“The witness says so. You… what’s your name?”

“This is Merlin.”

“okay. Merlin County. From now on, answer the truth. Have you been on a field trip to this institute a few days ago?”

Carlton asks a question and Merlin faces it.

‘Damn it. You’re just making sure that I’m perfectly fine and asking.’

Merlin noticed that Carlton was convinced he was the trespasser of the day.

At that moment she noticed that Merlin was something strange about her.

‘What? Those eyes full of anticipation?’

If she had convinced herself that she was a trespasser, her anger should have been revealed in her eyes.

But Carlton’s eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

‘Is there something different from what I thought? . . . Then, shall we take a look?’



Merlin’s lips opened after thinking for a moment.

“···Yes.”

With him, Carlton’s excitement grew.

“Then… is it true that you entered the lab without permission that day?”

“···Yeah.”

“Have you ever done something there?”

As Carlton’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, Merlin was convinced that Carleton’s question was not trying to blame him.

So he spoke frankly.

“I did.”

“What did you do?”

“I drew some pictures on the blackboard.”

“Right.”

That was the end of it.

There were no further questions.

Instead, Carlton walked over to Merlin with a firm expression on his face.

chin-

Carlton placed a hand on Merlin’s shoulder.

“Did you say Merlin-kun?”

“Yeah.”

He said with a very serious face.

“Are you sure… do you want to work here?”

“Are you still working?”

“No no, not the guards!”

“···········?”

“As a researcher!”

Merlin opened her mouth in surprise.

His surprise was not so great compared to those around him.

“Deputy, deputy, deputy chief?!”

“What do you mean by that?!”

With the researchers who are excited and run wild along the way.

“I… Captain, what did I say wrong?”

“Hey, okay?”

The commander of the guard and his subordinates are perplexed as they do not understand the English language of the sudden incident.

and Merlin.

‘Oh hey? Look at this?’

A shocking rise in status from a mere security guard to a researcher.

The process was different from what he had intended, but the result was exactly what he wanted.

Merlin hadn’t answered yet, but the surroundings were even more chaotic.

“Deputy Chief! No matter how much you say you are the deputy chief, this is not the case!”

“Academic students who have not received any formal education… that’s also why they hired Genesis Academy students as researchers!”

“Yes! This is a deception for us who came to this institute with great difficulty, and for the other senior academy students who are studying hard to get into the institute!”

“It is a study that the country is putting so much effort into! It is absurd to bring such an ignorant bastard to such research!”

The deputy director’s eyes narrowed at the reaction of the researchers.

“What is deception? Recruitment of human resources for the institute is at the discretion of me and the director. I’m looking for talented people and hiring them, but who knows what to say!”

“Perhaps all the researchers in the lab will object.”

“Ahh… ttt! Because talented people are right in front of you, you can’t even recognize them, and you’re just blinded by envy.”

The deputy chief clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.

But at the same time, it was not incomprehensible.

They were the ones who entered the institute after taking an elite course and going through difficult tests and fierce competition.

As a result, dissatisfaction with this type of recruitment was inevitable.
