“… … For now, I will only take it from here.”

In response to Ludwig’s continued reward, Sehun Lee decided to receive only the Dragon Stone.

It was because he secured all the urgent items right away, and it didn’t look bad to save them given Ludwig’s abilities.

‘I have my own standards, but if my value goes up, I’m more likely to take care of them.’

And it wouldn’t be a bad thing because you can do solo treatment with the excuse of getting a reward later.

“I might forget it over time, so get it as soon as possible.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“Then you should go back and rest.”

Whoo-

The moment Ludwig’s eyes met. Lee Se-hoon’s body disappeared neatly from the principal’s office, just like when he appeared.

Ludwig, who confirmed that Se-hun Lee had arrived safely on the bed in the hospital room, lost his senses and looked at Ryu Eun-ha.

“As I said earlier, I will treat it as being attacked by a demon. It’s annoying, but if you get an interview request, I’ll make it a little bit easier. Opponent… … You can just point out guys you don’t like.”

“All right.”

“And the research budget… … First of all, let’s say 1 billion. It will only be used by you and your friend, but if there are too many, other professors will not be upset when they hear about it.”

It’s a small amount compared to the research support that professors receive, but it’s not bad considering that two people, in fact, Sehun Lee, a cadet, will use it alone.

And if it produces results, the budget and support will be increased as much as possible. Because the conditions were not too bad, Ryu Eun-ha nodded her head.

“I will.”

“Do it well. Maybe it’s the road leading to ‘Woodung’.”

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha looked at Ludwig’s story without saying a word.

A title and qualification that is one level higher than the S-class hero and only allowed to those who have climbed the tower of heroes to the end.

Ryu Eun-ha calmly answered the name that felt close yet distant.

“I will try.”

“I look forward to it.”

“then… … .”

When Ryu Eun-ha, nodding her head, turned to go out of the academy’s office. Suddenly he turned and looked at Ludwig.

“The principal.”

“Something?”

“Lee Se-hoon cadet was the first I noticed.”

Ludwig stared blankly at Ryu Eun-ha’s sudden story and then asked with a grin.

“So what do you want to say?”

“… … I just wanted you to know.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who answered as if he was ignorant, went outside, and a low-pitched voice resounded in the principal’s room, which was left alone by Ludwig.

[I think a lump of iron can be greedy.]

A voice emanating from the white hole. Ludwig nodded at the sarcasm.

“I mean. It’s not like it’s another professor, and I never thought I’d get a warning from Dean Ryu.”

[be careful. Seeing you growling already, I will ask you if you touch me even a little.]

This time, he didn’t say much because he was simply taking care of him as the head of the academy, but if he had promised support with a contract or something, Eun-ha Ryu would not have been able to stand still.

Ludwig burst out a small laugh when he remembered Ryu Eun-ha, who was interfering with Lee Se-hoon.

“Don’t worry. It’s not quite like that yet.”

[It’s a hobby that’s really hard to understand… … Anyway, which one do you think it is?]

Ludwig smiled and answered the voice’s question.

“Probably the place where 『Decalcification』 was researching. The thing used as a knot seems to be part of Jurgen’s friend.”

[Accelerate awakening by transplanting the body of the perfect person to the monster… … The technology has advanced again.]

It would have caused a huge stir if known to the public, but Ludwig did not feel much emotion.

It was because it was an area that I thought I would reach someday as the head of an educational institution called Babel and a huge research institute.

“However… … It seems a little early.”

[then?]

A slightly higher voice than usual. Reading the emotion of expectation contained within, Ludwig calmly replied.

“I think it would be better to cut it once.”

With those words, Ludwig disappeared from the academy’s office, and the white hole disappeared from place to place.

And since that day, landslides and building collapses of unknown cause have occurred all over the world.

* * *

“Hmm… … .”

After returning to the hospital room, Lee Se-hoon woke up and immediately checked his condition.

The sensation of being stabbed in the body by a needle. The bones sting and the joints squeak as if squeezed. Sehun Lee sighed at the terrible pain that was beating his whole body.

‘This is good enough.’

It hurts badly, but a wound without pain is scarier.

In that sense, this level of injury was on the good side, but no matter how much he talked about it, the people around him did not listen.

‘Did you expect Ludwig to give you an elixir? … .’

If I had a suitable elixir, I would be able to deal with it at once with the Spirituality Magic.

When Sehun Lee is contemplating whether to save the reward or shorten it by 6 weeks.

straight-

“hey. Are you sleeping?”

Loud knocks and muffled voices. Sehun Lee, noticing the owner, answered while getting up from the bed.

“come in.”

With permission, the door opened and a silver-haired girl, Louise, came in with a black plastic bag.

“What are you here for?”

“I was attacked by a demon and got hurt, so I came to take a look.”

Louise, who answered confidently, sat down on the chair next to the bed and looked around Sehun Lee’s body.

“But are you okay? I heard he was seriously injured… … .”

“What a serious injury. It’s almost as bad as this.”

Ryu Eun-ha gave a mysterious expression to Lee Se-hoon, who seemed to have no pain except for the bandages.

“okay? There’s no way Professor Ahn would do that without a reason… … .”

“Because it’s real. My muscles were torn a little, my bones were slightly cracked, and my magic circuit was a little weak.”

“Which part?”

“It’s the whole body.”

“… … .”

Louise looked at Lee Se-hoon’s answer and then muttered with a bitter expression.

“When I asked where he was seriously injured, he said he had a head injury… … .”

“… … .”

“Eat this and calm down. It’s the Jason Cherry you loved.”

Sehun Lee made an absurd expression when he saw Louise talking kindly while handed over the black plastic bag he was carrying and Jason Cherry.

Even though other people are like that, it was because even Louise was not used to saying this.

‘If it was the time of a violent dog, I would have spit on it first, saying that saliva would heal it.’

I was happy because it was proof that I wasn’t crooked yet, but on the other hand, I felt sad because there was no one to sympathize with.

When Sehun Lee lamented that he was eating cherries. Louise asked again carefully.

“So, in the end, you didn’t get seriously injured, did you?”

“Because I’m fine. Are you that worried?”

“What are you worried about? I was just curious and asked a question and made a strange noise… … .”

At the sight of Louise who was muttering as if annoyed, Sehun Lee looked up and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

“okay? Professor Ahn said he was tired because you asked me if I was okay.”

“What?! No, don’t ever say that, so… … !”

Louise, who had been shouting reflexively at Sehun Lee’s story, opened her eyes as if she realized something too late, and soon the nape of her neck began to glow red.

“you… … you… … .”

“Okay. No one else knows, but you have to take care of me.”

He helped me with my hardships in the ward and taught me the magic of words that fit my aptitude.

Sehun Lee, who was nodding his head satisfactorily, suddenly remembered the method he often used before returning.

“Ah, that’s fine. Please tell me to get well soon with word magic. The more truthful it is, the better it works.”

“… … .”

“what are you doing. Am I sick?”

At the urging of Lee Se-hoon, Louise’s eyes lit up with blue light, and her fists were clenched and trembling.

smart-

“I will go in.”

The door burst open before hearing a polite knock and an answer.

Se-hun Lee widened his eyes at the sight of Seong-ha Yeom, a young man with dark hair, who entered the hospital room with a blunt face.

“what. Why did you come here?”

“I came to hear that you were injured.”

Seong-ha Yeom, who answered indifferently as if there was a reason other than that, came to the side and looked at Lee Se-hun up and down.

“I wasn’t seriously hurt. Isn’t it too harsh?”

A tone that makes you think that if other people hear it, you might be arguing. However, Sehun Lee responded with a bright color as if he had been waiting for it.

“right? I said it was okay too, but they didn’t let me leave the hospital… … .”

“You shouldn’t have come to the ward in the first place. From now on, do not seek medical care unless you are on the verge of death.”

“I’m thinking about it too.”

At the sight of Lee Se-hoon and Yeom Seong-ha, who were fighting each other, Louise looked at the two with a strange expression.

‘Am I weird? … ?’

When Louise is perplexed at the sight of two people talking as if it were natural. Seongha Yeom pulled out a small booklet from her arms and handed it to Sehun Lee.

“Take it.”

“What is this?”

“I’ve put together the things you might need.”

At Seongha Yeom’s explanation, Sehun Lee glanced through the booklet lightly.

A catalog containing various elixirs and equipment that can assist the body. Lee Se-hoon looked at each other with a surprised expression at the decent performance.

“what. Would you like to choose one of these?”

“okay. I will pay for it.”

“thanks… … What?”

Lee Se-hoon looked at him with a puzzled expression at the slightly different answer from what he expected.

“Isn’t that a visitation gift?”

“I am trying to deal with a payment I hadn’t paid before. You must have what you need now.”

“… … .”

“Is there any problem?”

Sehun Lee looked at Seongha Yeom as if he was wondering what the problem was, and then sighed.

“Well then… … .”

There is no other person, and Seong-ha Yeom could not have provided a gift for visiting.

When Se-Hoon Lee was thinking about how to teach this to Seong-Ha Yeom, who came to handle the payment because she wanted to do it this time.

“Are you going to just go?”

Louise, who was watching from the side, looked at her with an annoyed expression.

“If you want to sell something, set up a stall in the market. Don’t come all the way to the hospital and make a fuss.”

Louise, who overtly shows hostility. Seongha Yeom turned her head to look at that ferocious tone and asked calmly.

“Are you Louise Valente?”

“By the way?”

“Hmm.”

Yeom Seong-ha, who was looking openly at Louise up and down, muttered in a shrill voice.

“Not very strong.”

“… … What?”

“It’s noisy, get out. It is not for you to intervene.”

Seong-ha Yeom talks without even paying attention to whether her interest in Louise has disappeared.

Louise’s eyes grew cold at that blatant disregard.

“Nope?”

“What?”

“I don’t like it. Are you deaf?”

Louise looked up at Seongha Yeom and twisted the corners of her lips.

“What are you, Mara? This is a funny kid.”

“… … Cheeky.”

“I’m not as cheap as you are.”

With each conversation, the temperature in the hospital room dropped, and the magic power trembled ominously. A bloody atmosphere that seems to rush at any moment.

Lee Se-hoon made a curious expression at the sudden situation.

‘These guys… … It’s the same as in the past when the personality doesn’t match.’

Before the return, I thought it was because they met after their personalities had changed, but it seems that their innate personalities don’t match each other.

‘Nevertheless, compared to before the return, both are polite.’

If they were rabies and gangsters, they would have already honed each other one by one. When Lee Se-hoon is curiously looking at when the two people who are only growling at each other will explode.

“Excuse me.”

“Uh, what is it? Why is the door open… … Senior Yeom?”

Erica and Jake entered through the door opened by Seongha Yeom. The bloody atmosphere subsided slightly at the intrusion of the two, and Sehun Lee looked at him with a surprised expression.

“what. Did you come to visit me?”

“I heard he was seriously injured… … But what happened?”

When Jake was paying attention to the strange atmosphere in the hospital room. Erica strode in and stood between Louise and Seongha Yeom.

At that time, the eyes of the two of them frowned slightly at the sight of them intervening without even giving them a glance.

“here. A visitation gift.”

He handed the necklace that Erica had brought to Sehun Lee.

A neatly shaped neck armor that looks unusual on the outside. Sehun Lee who received it made a strange expression.

“Is this a visitation gift?”

“yes. Open it.”

At Erica’s story, Sehun Lee carefully opened the necklace.

A small circle in the form of yin and yang. Lee Se-hun immediately looked at the information window at the unusual appearance from the scent he wafted.

[Yin-Yang Hwan]

[Rating: Heroic] [Quality: Best]

An elixir that balances the magic of yin and yang.

It specializes in activating the body, and its power can be amplified according to the properties of the magical power it possesses.

However, in the case of the opposite magic power, it can cause a collision, so you need to be careful when ingesting it.

*Regeneration of the body is activated.

*Yin and positive magic amplifies elemental magic.

“… … .”

A hero-grade elixir, which is said to be difficult to obtain because of its versatility and effectiveness.

Sehun Lee looked at Erica, who had a triumphant expression on the expensive object.

“Is this a visitation gift?”

“yes.”

“Aren’t you going to pay money to buy it?”

“I don’t do such narrow things.”

In response to Erica’s firm answer, Se-hun Lee turned his gaze to Seong-ha Yeom.

“… … .”

Seongha Yeom’s expression hardened as if she felt something. Meanwhile, Jake also came over and handed him a black box.

“that… … I brought it too.”

Sehun Lee, who received the box from Jake, immediately opened the lid.

Black jelly the size of a palm. It looked like a slime on the outside, but on the inside, it felt dark magic.

‘This… … .’

Sehun Lee looked at the information window at the familiar material.

[Shadow Ether]

[Rating: Rare] [Quality: Best]

Ether created by refining dark magic.

Quickly recovers damaged dark magic power and increases sensitivity.

* Restores dark magic power and increases sensitivity.

‘Shadow Ether… … With this level of purity, it could be used to awaken dark attribute magic.’

Anyway, I was thinking about blooming dark magic power sooner or later, but the perfect thing is coming. When Sehun Lee was satisfied, Jake smiled.

“I came to the rescue because it was difficult to heal after the dark magic power was injured. What do you think?”

“very good. But aren’t you paying money to buy it or something like that?”

“Things like that… … that… … Aren’t you good at something?”

Jake looked into Seongha Yeom’s eyes to see if he knew what was going on. Seeing that, Sehun turned his gaze slightly.

“Did you feel anything?”

That would be enough to know what I was doing wrong. In response to Lee Se-hoon’s question, Seong-ha Yeom looked at him silently and approached him with a hardened expression on his face.

Then he leaned over, brought his mouth to Se-Hoon Lee’s ear, and whispered quietly in a low-pitched voice.

“be careful.”

“… … ?”

“I can’t give you things like that for free. There is a high probability that something has been tampered with.”

“… … .”

Seongha Yeom gives advice with a serious expression on the world. Seeing that sincerity, Sehun smiled and patted his shoulder.

“get out.”

Only Yeom Seong-ha was kicked out of the hospital room.
