Chapter Index

    The answer to the question came back almost immediately.

    “Are you saying it’s strange? What are you saying is strange? Gaga?”

    “Is there anything strange?”

    The response was that it was the first time ever.

    Not only Soso but also Hayoung’s reaction was like that.

    So, just in case, I picked up a copy of the books I found strange and handed them to the two of us.

    “Well, take a look at them first.”

    “If you ask me to watch it, I will, but…”

    “Just take a look.”

    “Uhmmm…”

    “How about it? Isn’t it strange?”

    “It’s strange.”

    “Right? yes? I’m not the only one who felt that way, right?”

    “Yes, your reaction is strange. No, it’s just an ordinary low-level magician. What’s so strange about it?”

    No… this isn’t strange…?

    How is that possible…?

    Thinking that I might have been momentarily confused and handed over the wrong book, I took the money back from Hayoung’s hands and looked at it again.

    Of course, the conclusion drawn was no different from the first time.

    “Isn’t this strange? Did you see it correctly?”

    “Are you doing that because of the way you play the flag? If that were the case, it would be strange since it is one of the characteristics commonly observed in low-level magic…”

    How should I express this feeling?

    It felt like I was possessed by something.

    We were clearly talking about the same thing, but it felt like our focus was oddly off.

    Since Hayoung’s immediate reaction was like that, I had no choice but to naturally place my hopes on Soso.

    “Soso, what about you? Didn’t you feel anything strange?”

    “I’m sorry, but I don’t really know what the strange thing Gaga is talking about is.”

    “No, the information written on the salary I gave you is strange.”

    “I don’t think there are any elements that could be called strange, except that the structure is simple and the process leading up to it is very dangerous.”

    Is it to persuade me?

    It was a very quiet tone of voice.

    So I felt like I was going even crazier.

    ‘Wow, I’m going crazy, really…’

    Are you possessed by a ghost?

    Or is it a case where everyone is one-eyed and I’m the only one with two eyes?

    As I was feeling a little frustrated with the incomprehensible situation… did I hear the noise that was made?

    Helena, who was looking at past historical materials related to the Demonic Cult that did not require much interpretation, had sat far away so as not to disturb us who had begun the interpretation work, came between the three of us.

    “What are you doing this for?”

    Soso’s eyebrows twitched for a moment, as if he didn’t like Helena’s intervention, but even so, it was a bit difficult to tell the person who came towards us to go back.

    Also… I wanted to check if I was really the only one with two eyes.

    So, I explained the sense of discomfort that had gripped me until now… but Helena, who listened to what I had to say with a more serious expression and eyes than I expected, naturally began to organize things.

    “So… Soo-hyeon, what you’re saying is that the three of us read the same book, and while Su-hyeon felt something was strange, Team Leader Dang and Ha-young couldn’t find anything wrong… Is this right? You’re saying this because you feel uncomfortable with that fact.”

    “Exact.”

    “Hmm… Could it be possible for me to take a look at the book in question?”

    “Here.”

    After returning to me through Hayoung’s hands, I placed the weight of the problem that had just gone to Soso and then passed it to me again in Helena’s hands.

    If it’s magic, Helena is the one who is close to being completely illiterate when it comes to martial arts, so even if she goes out of her way to check, it won’t really change anything… but you never know.

    Since people have a different perspective than those of us who are bound by the category of martial people, they may be able to capture the sense of discomfort I felt from that book.

    So, with high hopes for that slight possibility, I tried a trick of my own…

    “Hmmmm…”

    After accepting the martial arts secret certificate I handed her and looking at it with narrowed eyebrows, Helena suddenly opened the book towards me and pointed out one of the words written there with her hand and asked.

    “Could you please read this part?”

    “The magic craft is ultimately just an illusion.”

    “Hmm.”

    “Why?”

    “No, no.”

    Helena, who had dismissed my doubts like that, turned towards Soso and Hayoung this time.

    Then, he asked them a question that was exactly the same as the one he had just asked me.

    People may not like it, but did they think that they can’t just ignore the question in this situation?

    Both Soso and Hayoung had disapproving expressions on their faces, but after repeated sideways glances, they finally opened their mouths.

    I opened my mouth… and answered Helena’s question.

    It says “◾️◽️◽️◽️◽️◾️◾️◽️◾️,”

    “Yes, it says ◾️◽️◽️◽️◽️◾️◾️◽️◾️”

    what···?

    What on earth did you two just say?

    Rumbling…!

    I was obviously fine until just now, but all of a sudden, a feeling of dizziness silently attacked me, as if I had suddenly become intoxicated.

    As I reflexively covered my mouth, Soso and Hayoung started talking to me, probably surprised by my behavior.

    “Hey, what’s wrong with you? What’s not good?”

    “Go? Are you okay? Your face is pale…”

    are you okay.

    I’m fine, so please talk to me…

    Is it because of the feeling of dizziness that has taken over my mind even though I am just sitting still and doing nothing?

    As time went by, rather than getting less frequent, the sensation only increased in size, and I kept twitching my eyes.

    “Gaga…?”

    “Stop.”

    “Go? Why are you doing this, Gaga.”

    “Please stop…!”

    My head… I feel dizzy…

    “kk···!”

    My vision was spinning around as if someone was randomly stirring it with my hand. I couldn’t look straight at it anymore, so I closed my eyes tight without realizing it.

    Piing!

    Suddenly, Su-hyeon was shaking her head with her hand on her forehead as if she was in pain, and So-so hurriedly got up from her seat.

    It was almost at the same time that Soo-hyeon’s body, which had been repeatedly closing and opening her eyes with a pale face, fell forward like falling dominoes.

    If things continue like this, you could hit your head on the table and get seriously injured.

    Just as she was about to rush away, Hayoung, who was sitting relatively closer, reacted faster than her.

    “What, why are you suddenly falling down?”

    A reaction that seems absurd.

    “Hey, hey! Yoon Soo-hyun! What, he really passed out?”

    The hand that was reaching out towards Su-hyeon, who was falling forward, stopped in an ambiguous place and flinched and trembled.

    “Are you sure he’s really feeling better? A person who was fine just moments ago suddenly loses consciousness and collapses like this? Like a doll with missing batteries?”

    “Get out of the way.”

    “Hey, that’s important to you right nowㅡ”

    “I have to check on Gaga’s body, so get out of the way.”

    Fortunately, she also had some expertise in medicine.

    In a way, it was natural since medical knowledge is something that naturally accumulates when learning about poisons.

    And as a result of examining Su-hyeon’s body based on those, we were able to draw the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with her body, just that her consciousness had been cut off.

    So… I was even more afraid.

    Even though there was nothing particularly wrong with her body, the fact that she looked the same as before meant that there might be a problem latent within her that might not be able to be solved with the power of medicine alone.

    ‘It’s okay, it’ll be okay. Because Gaga is a strong person. So first, go to the hospital-‘

    If we take Gaga to the hospital right now and have skilled doctors examine her body, there will be no further problems.

    So, first of all, the vehicle…

    The moment my thoughts went straight to that point, no more, no less, I realized something new, but I realized it.

    Who was the party that caused Gaga to lose consciousness?

    “How on earth did this happen? Could it be related to what you just did?”

    “That might be so… I don’t know. I don’t believe it, but.”

    What I’m saying is that it’s hard to believe that they would do this after making someone fall down.

    So, don’t you know that wizards… keep behaving like this so people are increasingly fearing and avoiding them?

    sincerely?

    “It would be better to speak directly. Otherwise… I think I’d be a bit angry.”

    By the time she said that, she had already made her decision.

    For Su-hyeon’s safety and her mental stability, it seems necessary to drive Helena out of Su-hyeon’s side.
