A lounge in the corner of the party venue.

Even though there was chaos outside, Baek A-young and Im Sol were sleeping face down on the desk as if they had fainted.

Pop-

At that time, he felt the magical connection being disconnected from the back of his neck, and Imsol stood up awkwardly.

It was the magic power that Lee Ho-yeon had attached.

“Umm….”

Because I had not fully awakened from my sleep yet, I could not understand the exact situation.

Imsol looked around, not knowing what the sensation he had just felt was.

Next to him, Baek Ah-young was lying with her head on the table.

“….”

I slowly began to look back on my memories.

Apparently, while drinking with Baek A-young… Lee Ho-yeon came and stopped the drinking competition.

I think I was a little embarrassed in the process, but I don’t remember much.

Then, the two entered the lounge, rested for a while, and then started drinking again…

That’s all I remember.

“Did I drink too much….’

Ugh.

Imsol stretched and woke up his mind.

It’s been a long time since I drank this much.

I didn’t detoxify it right away while drinking it, and I may have overdone it because I drank more while I was tired.

Im Sol placed her hand on the shoulder of Baek A-young, who was still unconscious, and shook her slightly.

“Ayoung. Wake up.”

“Uh, uhm….”

Baek Ah-young shook her head back and forth and protested.

Although they are the same age, they look really cute like this.

“If anyone sees it, they will make fun of the professor for passing out after drinking.”

“Ugh, I’m not a professor….”

Imsol, who noticed that Baek Ah-young woke up yawning, turned on her smartwatch to check the time.

And I confirmed that hundreds of messages, calls, and even the emergency contact network were working.

“… what.”

Imsol, whose head became cold in an instant, quickly checked the contents.

[ A terrorist attack by Mine occurs at a final exam commemorative party. We ask all professors who did not participate in the party to immediately gather to suppress terrorism. ]

It was the first contact I received.

Below that, information about urgent situations was written in a row.

A quick glance revealed that a large group of demons had appeared in front.

“Ah, Ayoung. Wake up quickly. Wake up!”

Imsol first woke up his friend who was still sleeping.

Up until now, we had been fighting over students and having pride and drinking competitions, but now was not the time for that.

“What’s wrong? I still have hair….”

“It’s a pandemic terror! Wake up quickly!”

“T-terrorism?!”

Baek A-young, who came to her senses at the word ‘terrorism’, lifted her head.

And when I saw Lim Sol’s serious face, I realized it wasn’t a joke.

“Let’s get out. We have to join right away.”

“Uh, huh.”

Baek Ah-young, who had not yet come to her senses, roughly organized her clothes and followed behind Im Sol.

Meanwhile, Nam Da-eun, who was wandering around the party looking for Lee Ho-yeon, found some familiar faces.

They were twins Lucy and Rumi.

I had some expectations since they were the two people who always accompanied Lee Ho-yeon, but they were stuck in some kind of opaque barrier.

“Ho, Mr. Hoyeon!”

“What? What on earth is this…!”

‘Lee Ho-yeon?’

Nam Da-eun, who was about to pass by without saying hello, heard the name Ho-yeon Lee and accelerated her pace toward him.

The barrier I saw up close was even more strange; it was a barrier where I could hardly feel any magical power.

It was a little more cloudy than glass, and the inside could be seen blurry.

And inside, Nam Da-eun saw the man she had been looking for.

With a huge mine.

Inside the sphere, a battle was taking place between Lee Ho-yeon and Majin.

It was a very heterogeneous fight.

The two did not use any magical power and were simply fighting with blows, but in the composition itself, Ho-yeon Lee seemed to be overwhelming.

There was a significant difference between them and their opponents in terms of speed and technique. When Mine waved his hand once, Hoyeon Lee was able to hit and run by moving three times.

‘But… it looks like you’re at a disadvantage.’

The problem is the difference in weight classes.

Hoyeon Lee was controlling the fight with her natural fighting sense, but it didn’t seem like damage was accumulating on Mine.

Rather, Lee Ho-yeon, who was attacking, looked more tired.

In Nam Da-eun’s opinion, Lee Ho-yeon’s speed was getting slower and slower.

After several exchanges, the thing I was worried about finally happened.

Lee Ho-yeon, whose stamina was low, was a little late in getting out, and Mine, who caught her toes with slow hands, threw Ho-yeon Lee toward the barrier.

bang-!

Lee Ho-yeon’s body, which fell to the floor after hitting the barrier, looked tattered to anyone.

With just one attack, the current structure was reversed.

“I-I-I-I-IK. Open. Open…!”

“Lu, Lucy. Stop…!”

Nam Da-eun looked at Lucy, who started punching and kicking the solid barrier.

Looking at the many scorch marks on the barrier, it appears that magic has already been tried but failed.

“Open… open quickly. Please…”

“Lucy…! You can’t do this too…”

Rumi was holding Lucy’s waist and pulling her as she hit the barrier.

However, Lucy’s resistance was so strong that even if Rumi blocked her, Lucy’s fist continued to hit the barrier.

Of course, there was no way the barrier that withstood magic could be broken by the delicate girl’s fist.

Nam Da-eun, who saw Lucy’s fist cracked and blood starting to flow, frowned and stopped Lucy.

“…Stop. Please step back for a moment and I will try.”

“What, what? Nam Da-eun?”

“Miss Nam Da-eun…?”

Nam Da-eun pulled out her sword.

It was the sword he gave me as a gift.

Nam Da-eun closed her eyes and concentrated, putting magic into her sword and slowly lowering her hand to cut into space.

Quad deuk-!

The monsters summoned by Mine fell to the ground one by one from Ellis’ magic sword.

‘I can’t believe you can move like this.’

Ellis felt a slight sense of excitement as her body moved quickly.

This is because he has never properly fought a battle like this due to his congenital magical power disability.

Since he had never fought with all his might, he had underestimated his own fighting power.

Tooung-

“Elise!”

Ellis reacted as soon as she heard Moon Su-rin’s voice, swatting away the nearby monsters and rushing towards Mine.

This is because it was confirmed that a magic circle was drawn on the ground beneath the demon’s feet.

In response, the demon immediately fell back, but magic power was also gathering behind his back. It was a magic circle that Ellis had predicted in advance and had set up as he got closer.

“…!”

Mine’s response was also quick.

By drawing magical energy in the air, he summoned a monster to serve as a stepping stone, and after kicking it away, Mine landed on the ground, avoiding the bombardment that covered the sky by a narrow margin.

Unfortunately, the attack did not work, but Ellis retreated and spoke to Moon Su-rin.

“Good, Chairman.”

It was a perfect sum.

Ellis was satisfied with the surprisingly good compatibility and looked straight ahead to keep Mine in check.

“… Yes. Thank you.”

Moon Su-rin also thought that the movement just now was really good.

… It would have been great if the other person wasn’t the biological father.

His father, the demon Moon Seong-min, suddenly lowered his hand and gathered his magic power.

It was as if he was saying that he no longer had the will to fight.

Ellis became even more nervous at the sudden cessation of battle, but Seongmin Moon quietly opened his mouth.

“Surin. Are you really sure you want to do this?”

“….”

Before speaking, Surin Moon turned his head in the direction of Ellis.

Ellis understood what he meant and stepped back slightly. He was expressing his intention not to pay attention.

Only then did Moon Su-rin feel slightly relieved and continue speaking.

“Father. No, Dad… How long will you think about revenge?”

Of course, Moon Su-rin also wanted to take revenge if she could.

However, the daughter’s pain at seeing her father devoting his life to the uncertain goal of killing intangible demons was indescribable.

The living were more important than avenging those who were already dead.

“Just…please come to me. It’s okay right now…”

“… You’ve already come a long way to do that.”

Moon Seong-min, who was looking at Moon Su-rin with sad eyes, smiled bitterly and opened a magic circle.

Ellis, who saw the magic circle lined up in front of him, stood in front of Moon Su-rin.

“That crazy bastard….”

I didn’t know the details, but I thought it might be the father and daughter’s own circumstances, so I stayed away, but they were suddenly attacked.

“Wait a minute. Ellis, that’s not an attack.”

Surin Moon, who observed the magic circle closely, grabbed Ellis’ shoulder.

Those… were defensive magic circles.

And as soon as I noticed that, dozens of attribute magics came flying from behind.

Kwaang-! phut-!

Moon Surin, who confirmed the magician’s tremendous power, checked the reinforcements walking towards him.

Im Sol and Baek A-young.

Imsol’s magic power was covering the surroundings as he performed a magic trick with one hand.

“…Surin.”

“Ah, Dad…!”

The defensive magic circle that Demon Moon Seong-min had deployed held up quite well, but since it was a hastily constructed magic circle, even that soon reached its limits.

“Next time, definitely….”

Kwaaang-!

Moon Su-rin concentrated on her father’s words, but could not hear them completely because they were obscured by the heavy drinking that followed.

However, Moon Surin sighed in relief at the glimpse of the teleportation magic circle.

It was funny to see myself relieved that the demon that attacked the academy had escaped, but I couldn’t help it. Because they were the only two blood relatives left.

“He ran away. He was a rat-like demon. His magic was pretty good.”

“Haa… haa… run slowly….”

Lim Sol and Baek A-young approached Ellis and Moon Su-rin.

“Are you two okay? You and the student council president… were Cadet Ellis, right?”

Baek A-young checked the condition of the two familiarly.

It wasn’t a difficult task since she was active in the field.

“Yes. It’s okay.”

‘I guess I didn’t prepare properly.’

Seeing the two’s distracted heads, Ellis was secretly grateful.

“… I’m fine too.”

Moon Su-rin felt complicated emotions.

Because sharing a workshop with my father whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years was definitely not a good experience.

In the end, we couldn’t even have a proper conversation. It’s been 10 years since we met, but I didn’t even get to ask how I was doing.

“Thank goodness, Ahyoung. Let’s go. There are still a lot of demons over there. There will be some injured.”

“Yes, that’s right. I’m sure they’re still fighting.”

Moon Su-rin came to her senses after hearing Im Sol’s words.

I left in a hurry, so I have to go back quickly.

But then.

Kang! Kang! Kagagaga River! Kaaang!

An unidentifiable sound of metal was heard from somewhere nearby.

It sounded like hitting a rock with a hard knife.

“… Sol. Didn’t you hear something?”

“Maybe he’s in combat.”

Moon Su-rin knows that the demons escaped in the meantime.

After hearing that, Imsol made a quick decision.

“You two go.”

Mine, who just disappeared by teleportation, must have been an important figure in the terrorist attack.

It was reported that there was already a strong demon in front. Then there are already two strong demons. It is absurd that more than three demons with that level of strength came here.

If it were a weaker demon than that, the student council president and Ellis would be able to handle it.

“Me and Ayoung will go to the front.”

“… Yes. Thank you, Professor.”

Moon Su-rin nodded.

In my heart, I wanted to go on my own, but I would need the strength of those two in front.

Moon Su-rin looked at Ellis, and Ellis, who was watching quietly, also nodded.

Ellis was also curious about what was happening over there.

Moon Su-rin and Ellis ran to the place where they heard an unidentified sound, and Lim Sol and Baek Ah-young, who saw the two moving, also headed to the front to join the battle.
