Chapter Index

    Chairman Yoo Neung-hae covered his mouth with both hands.

    ‘Um!, Um!’ She is the distance.

    My eyes were filled with starlight with excitement.

    ‘Wow, wow!?’

    Merithae gestured into the air without realizing it.

    Crunch air popcorn in your mouth as if you had real popcorn and roll your feet.

    I’m in my 40s and I hear people say I’m an old maid, but I’m ‘capable’.

    My heart was no different from that of a girl who was desperately in love.

    This situation was very exciting for Yunneunghae.

    ‘Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…’ ?!’

    Really…

    I thought that something like this really happens in life.

    ‘… ‘Could it be, is it really that baby?’

    Yuneunghae recalled the past for a moment.

    A journey with Professor Bong Mi-chun to find a new academy professor.

    There, Bong Mi-chun proposed a second name for .

    Although it was difficult for me to meet Peng Jin-ah…

    To be honest, it was a shocking encounter.

    ‘… This is the wheal… ?’

    A ruined person who doesn’t look like a human being at all.

    He must have not eaten properly, his body was skinny and the corner of the room was full of trash.

    Bong Mi-chun was also surprised.

    First, I went inside, cleaned the house, forced him to eat, and then persuaded him.

    On my way back, I left a message asking people to think positively about .

    Bong Mi-chun said, ‘It’s because my heart has broken now…’ I said, ‘Please don’t judge hastily.’

    She probably said that out of fear of misunderstanding her former student.

    There was no need to say that to someone so capable.

    Because Yunneunghae already knew Peng Jinah very well.

    How do you know?

    ‘Because we were classmates at the same !’

    Well, of course…

    Not only Peng Jin-ah but also Bong Michun, who had taught him, seemed completely unaware of him.

    ‘… Ahaha… ‘

    Actually, of course…

    Even though I thought he was capable at that time, he was far from sophisticated.

    She has always been fat and ugly.

    I wasn’t bullied, but…

    I don’t have many friends…

    A cadet who graduated from the with mediocre grades.

    Then, thinking that I couldn’t live like this, I put on makeup, improved my face, threw away my old glasses, and completely transformed myself.

    Finally, after endless efforts, he rose to the position of Chairman of the Board.

    That’s what I’m capable of now.

    It was natural that the two people did not recognize each other.

    ‘Anyway, anyhow! ‘This isn’t important!’

    I still remember Yuneunghae.

    The image of Pang Jin-ah, a second-year middle school student, walking around wearing an eye patch even though she doesn’t have an eye disease.

    The moment she suddenly changed was right after what is commonly called “the day of the tragedy.”

    ‘I said my mother passed away.’

    I don’t know the detailed story.

    The fact is that , known as a prestigious shamanic family, went extinct overnight.

    Something like, ‘There is a ghost in that family.’

    All that is said is that the notoriety of being a ‘family with nothing good to associate with’ has spread.

    Additionally, it was at that time that Peng Jin-ah devoted herself to training to the point where she was called a madwoman.

    ‘I was scared… ‘

    At that time, Peng Jin-ah was really scared.

    A demon-like being that swings its sword like crazy without any emotional changes.

    Even those who start a fight are beaten down without taking any action.

    In effect, it seemed like a walking nuclear bomb.

    A woman who gave her all to the sword without knowing anything about affection or love.

    This continued even after Peng Jin-ah graduated from and worked as a hunter.

    It was Paeng Jin-ah of who reigned with everyone’s respect and fear.

    But I knew competently.

    That appearance is not the essence of Peng Jin-ah.

    In the end, wounds received from others can be healed by humans.

    As time passed, Peng Jin-ah was returning to the gentle personality that Yunneung-hae remembered.

    Appropriate advice from old teacher Bong Michun.

    Joo Na-yong, who followed me around like a younger brother, must have had a big influence.

    ‘Of course it’s still hard… ‘

    That kind of girl…

    That Peng Jin-ah who doesn’t show any sign of weakness even after death…

    Now, he was revealing his feelings to Yoo Se-ha without hesitation.

    Look at the emotion of worry in those eyes.

    No matter how you look at it, isn’t this a relationship that can be considered simply between priests and priests?

    ‘Um, Um, Um!’

    Pyeongjin, you, you, you poor bitch!

    I heard that a well-behaved cat goes up to the stove first.

    Are you saying you have such evil feelings?

    ‘… ‘After all, you are a woman after all?’

    Someone might say this.

    Isn’t this just the aspect of a teacher who cares about his students?

    However, Yu Neung-hae was confident that he had a knack for this.

    I am sure that Peng Jin-ah’s feelings are not that simple.

    ‘You’re young~’

    A talented girl who likes to be a girl for a long time.

    That too for a while.

    Soon, the words that came out of Peng Jin-ah’s mouth made me both scared and crying.

    “I shouldn’t say this in words. Chairman. I’ll just go.”

    “Ugh! no! Even just by taking one , people are talking about it! We can’t have more people coming to the academy than this! Now is the time to crouch down and attack and deceive all … -”

    “-I don’t know about that, I’ll just go!”

    “Oh, no!”

    Two people bickering.

    Yoo Se-ha, who was watching the conversation naturally becoming more intense, sighed inwardly.

    * * *

    After a while, the two reached a compromise.

    I tilted my head as I looked at the pendant that Capable Hae handed me.

    “Chairman, this is… ?”

    “It’s a forced return artifact created by .”

    Forced return artifact.

    From what I heard, it is said to be an item that is forcibly returned if it receives damage beyond a certain level or is in danger of death.

    You can endure it with your own will, but an instant-death attack will definitely be sent here.

    Just by looking at it, I guessed that it was a very expensive price.

    “… Can you just give me something so precious?”

    “Because the matter is a matter… And the number itself is quite large. Don’t worry, take it, Yoo Se-ha.”

    The total number of given by Merit Hae was 5.

    This means…

    “Are you telling me to gather more party members?”

    “Yes, since it is an , we also need to replenish our strength. Formal party of 5 people. Additionally, if it is judged to be dangerous, use the and return without hesitation. This is exactly what has been agreed upon. Right, swelling?”

    “… … ”

    “Hey~ Mr. ? Why don’t you frown? Now I’m at an age where I need to take care of myself, but then wrinkles start to appear… Oh, I’m sorry… Don’t raise your hand. Because I was wrong. You did it wrong!”

    Yuneunghae advised to bring and to the party.

    The birth of a classic party.

    I racked my brain and analyzed my power appropriately.

    ‘A tank led by Mnyangi and two all-round melee dealers. One wizard to assist with the situation. Lastly, there is one Joker who is also a holy priest who has fully unlocked his power.’

    hmm…

    If this is enough…

    ‘It’s worth a try.’

    It was worth it.

    In fact, except for Choi Mari, they are the first-year All Stars of .

    As I nodded, a magazine idea popped into my head.

    “Uh, hey, Chairman?”

    “Huh?”

    “If I remember correctly, I understand that this kind of return requires a wizard to continuously adjust its magic power.”

    In ‘Gothra’, it is also commonly used as a return stone or return spell.

    There are items that allow you to escape while ignoring the [death] penalty, such as emergency escape jewelry.

    However, perhaps the management decided that it was too fraudulent, so they simply made it unusable.

    There had to be a mage in the party who had relevant talents and was excellent at using magic.

    “Bora Bora… Ah, it’s true that is excellent, but wouldn’t it be difficult?”

    “… Huh?”

    Merithae looked at my question as if it were strange.

    Soon, I understood, ‘Ah~’.

    “Our Seha doesn’t know whose blood flows in ’s body?”

    “… Yes?”

    “No~ It’s not difficult to tell, but as an outsider, it’s not my place to say anything. Ask yourself later. Anyway, since it is , I can handle the artifacts of . So, believe it?”

    I nodded my head absentmindedly at the cute winking comment from the competent person.

    Well, if you say it that way, there won’t be a problem.

    but…

    Then what is ‘that’?

    “Hey, Chairman. You may remember that there is a strong barrier at the entrance to . How do I do that?”

    “… … ”

    In response to my words, Yunneunghae says, ‘Ugh!?’ and covers his mouth with both hands.

    crazy…

    Did this woman really forget?

    Paeng Jin-ah, who was next to him, also said, ‘No way…’ ?’ I look at it as if I were doing it.

    “… … ” (A capable person who breaks out in a cold sweat)

    “… Chairman?”

    “Woo, wow?! Uk hum! Well, don’t worry. Yes, I asked Professor Sarangmi for a favor. Oh, you’re probably working hard on it? Now, take a moment to check… Oh, what? Even if I can’t do it, it will take a month?”

    “… Chairman?”

    “Hey… Lose, Ms. Peng Jin-ah. I’m scared, so can you please stop putting it close to my face?”

    It’s been a month…

    It may seem like it takes a long time, but it’s actually very fast.

    From what I could see, the barrier in did not seem to be something that could be resolved through normal methods.

    then…

    ‘I guess I could make that offer.’

    A person I thought about after finishing .

    I’m talking about the ‘older sister’ I haven’t been able to contact recently.

    “… So, can I get one more ?”

    “Huh? Why?”

    “I would like to invite an outsider.”

    “… Outsiders?! Se, Seha! Even though it looks like this, it is a . I can’t tell you carelessly.”

    “I know. However, if it’s the person I’m inviting, he can tear that barrier apart like a piece of paper in an instant. The reliability is certain.”

    “… Is that possible? Are you a famous archmage? Equivalent to S class?”

    “No. This is an ordinary blacksmith in the city center.”

    “… Huh!?”

    Peng Jin-ah looked at my words as if he were perplexed.

    Either way, I smiled.

    * * *

    A day later.

    Jingling jingling-!

    The sound of a bell fills the store.

    A woman carrying cargo shouts loudly.

    “Welcome! I deal with you with a caring heart!”

    The woman was an attractive beauty with tanned brown skin.

    Her name is none other than Lim Hyeja.

    Although she was in her mid-30s this year, she was so young that she only looked like she was in her late 20s.

    Currently, Hyeja Lim was preparing to deliver equipment to the party with whom she had recently made a deal.

    “Hmm?”

    Then, the customer who came in, Lim Hye-ja, who didn’t say anything, turned her head to see if someone was there.

    Soon, my complexion brightens at the sight of a handsome man standing tall.

    “This is our world, right?”

    “It’s been a while. Sister Hyeja.”

    Hyeja Lim approached and placed a headlock, a symbol of affection.

    Although she initially rejected and disliked him.

    He realized and acknowledged Yoo Se-ha’s sincerity, and they quickly became close friends.

    In addition, taking and sending a lot of cute Zero Two pictures of Mnyang also had a great influence on the likeability.

    Squeak-!

    Hyeja Lim thrust a craftsman’s pouch, which even her bulky work clothes couldn’t cover, into his face.

    “Yonseok! He doesn’t even answer the phone often these days!”

    “Kekkek, I’m sorry. I’ve been a little busy lately… ”

    “You know, you know. Because I am also a graduate of the . so? Are you here to buy something? Oh, do you have any materials ready for class?”

    “No. That’s not it. I have one serious request to make.”

    “… Please?”

    Im Hye-ja trembled at the bright smile of Yoo Se-ha.

    For some reason, an inexplicable feeling of anxiety comes over me.

    I am even more shocked by the words I soon hear.

    “… Hey Hyeja.”

    “Huh?”

    “It would be natural since was once famous… ”

    Position change.

    You learned it, right?
