– This is reporter Kim Han-sol, who is at the scene. Half a day has already passed since an unknown magical power took over Victoria Academy. More than a thousand people are trapped inside, and wizards from the Hunter Association are conducting rescue operations… .

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the main gate of Victoria Academy.

Wizards trying to dismantle the fake dungeon magic circle and reporters who came to cover the unprecedented terrorist attack in history.

Even family and friends waiting for those trapped inside the academy.

In the midst of a confusing situation. Moon Jae-cheol, the academy’s chairman, had a wrinkled expression and was creating magic.

“This happened when I was on a business trip…”

The magic circle that covered the entire academy swallowed up all the people inside.

As it is a national situation, all the best wizards in the Hunter Association have been mobilized, but they have not yet begun to interpret the magic circle.

“Hey. Are we there yet?”

“I’m sorry. It’s my first time seeing a magic circle, so I can’t interpret it at all. I need at least the help of a wizard of Im Sol or Lee Ho-yeon’s level….”

“Those two are trapped in that magic circle right now. What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Damn it! Surin!”

The chairman pounded the magic circle with his fist, forgetting his dignity.

He was so helpless that he could not use his strength due to the wounds he received in battle and his aging.

Ominous magic power was flowing out from the magic circle.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors had also felt this magic.

It was similar to an unidentified magical power flowing from a runaway dungeon and a black pillar.

“Who on earth committed such a terrible act of terrorism?…”

The wizards said it would take several days to interpret the magic circle.

A few days is enough time for hundreds of people to die.

We sincerely hope that not a single victim will occur, but realistically, there was no way that would happen.

‘There is something wrong with that child who grew up without parents. It’s heaven. Please, at least my granddaughter… .’

Lim Sol and Lee Ho-yeon, who are trapped in the magic circle, may be able to interpret this magic circle, but they do not know what is happening inside that magic circle.

Is there room to spend time interpreting magic circles?

The chairman clenched his fist and struck the magic circle with his fist.

It was an expression of anger that had nowhere to go.

But at that moment.

The magic circle gave off a tremendous amount of light, and the magic circle that seemed like an iron wall slowly began to collapse.

“… huh?”

The chairman looked blankly at his fist.

what? Why was the magic circle broken?

Did you do it yourself?

“Hey, the Chairman has destroyed the magic circle!”

“Wow! As expected, Chairman!”

Although he heard cheering from around him, Moon Jae-cheol came to his senses and focused on the magic circle.

The magic circle slowly collapsed, spitting out people one by one.

The seals visible at the center of the magic circle shining amidst the chaos.

It was immediately recognizable even from a distance.

It was his granddaughter, Moon Su-rin.

“Surin…!”

The granddaughter is alive.

That fact alone made Moon Jae-cheol feel like he was in tears.

But what attracts more attention than her is Lee Ho-yeon next to her.

His figure, shining brightly at the center of the magic circle, looked like a hero who had saved this situation.

“Lee Ho-yeon…!”

“Chairman! What on earth did you do? Even if hundreds of wizards are attached to this magic circle….”

“Stop talking bullshit! Can’t you see the heroes over there!”

Moon Jae-cheol ignored the reporters who were talking nonsense and ran to the center of the collapsing magic circle.

*

Sigh-

Imsol, who saw the magic spreading, opened his eyes wide.

“The magic circle is breaking….”

As Lee Ho-yeon generated magical power, the magic circle gradually collapsed.

Because it was the center that could control the magic circle, you could see the magic circle disintegrating in real time.

The demonic beasts of hell were scattered into powder, and people came out of the magic circle one by one.

It was Baek A-young’s words that brought Imsol back to his senses after being distracted by the magically amazing sight.

“Sol. Can you teleport me first? I’m sure there are a lot of people seriously injured.”

“Are you okay? Ayoung, your condition doesn’t look good either.”

“I’m fine. Other people are more important than that.”

“… There will be no patients, Mr. Ayoung. The healing space installed inside the magic circle can save people whose lives are in danger.”

Lee Ho-yeon added a word to ease Baek A-young’s worries.

Moon Su-rin, who was next to her, also approached Baek A-young.

“Saint. Don’t overwork yourself and take a rest. I’ll take care of the rest when I’m done.”

“Ah… thank you, student council president.”

Hoyeon Lee sighed.

The dismantling of the magic circle is over.

Now you can get back to normal in just a few minutes.

This is enough time to confess your mistakes.

“Rumi. We can finally go out….”

“Thank goodness, Lucy….”

“Guys. You two were very helpful. Next time, make sure you and Hoyeon stop by my lab.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Before that, Lee Ho-yeon looked around at the heroines.

I knew there were no injuries, but everyone seemed to be closer than I thought.

“Elise. You look in a good mood.”

“That’s because now I can go home and wash up.”

“Shall we take a shower with my sister after a long time? I’ll call Ho-yeon Lee too.”

“I absolutely hate it. I hate it even if Lee Ho-yeon is around.”

They were happy that the long battle with Lucifer was over and that they were able to escape the magic circle.

The atmosphere was different from Lee Ho-yeon, who was trying to say something serious.

“I want to get out of this damn magic circle now!”

“I want to go home and rest too. Phew.”

“Everyone worked hard. Oh, Hoyeon worked hard too.”

“… Yes. Thank you, Da-eun.”

Lee Ho-yeon continued to worry while looking at Nam Da-eun, who was smiling brightly.

After dealing with Lucifer, he planned to confess to everyone what he had done.

This fake dungeon magic circle was created by himself, and he was the one who put everyone in danger.

It is also true that he formed relationships with all of the heroines without asking for their understanding.

I’m sorry for everything.

I will do everything I can.

Unorganized words of apology come to mind.

However, the thoughts of myself and the heroines are different.

Even if you create an atmosphere where you apologize alone, it is meaningless if they are not ready.

“Hmm? What are those people?”

At that time, Irene pointed to a place with her finger.

Dozens of people were running toward the center, and at the head of them was a familiar face.

“… grandfather?”

Su-rin Moon looked at the chairman with a smile on his face.

When I was first trapped in the dungeon, the director was very worried, but fortunately he didn’t seem to get caught in it.

“So what was this magic circle? Was it Lucifer’s work after all?”

“Isn’t that right? Hoyeon fell into a trap too….”

“As expected! Then what are those people?”

“Looking at the artifacts they are holding, they look like reporters.”

“Aha. You’re here to cover the hero who saved the academy! Honor the hero!”

Nam Da-eun and Liliana laughed and talked to each other.

A hero. For some reason, my conscience is prickling.

At that time, Scarlett, who had been quiet, approached Hoyeon Lee.

“Hoyeon. Wasn’t there something you wanted to say?”

“….”

Scarlett’s eyes looking at him are scary.

I was grateful to Scarlett for saying such sharp words sometimes, but I hated her.

Hoyeon Lee was worried.

It’s easy to stop those reporters from coming.

If you collect the magical power of the magic circle and block the center, you can create a moment of time.

In the meantime, it is also possible to apologize to the heroines.

But is that really the right thing to do?

It’s good to apologize.

But will an apology be properly conveyed in this situation?

Is there sincerity in that apology?

Isn’t this a selfish act to ease my mind?

‘… ‘Am I still living in a different world?’

Maybe he was trying to do something stupid.

For Lee Ho-yeon, catching Lucifer was a huge harvest.

Now all that’s left is the Demon King, and before that, all he has to do is capture the hearts of the heroines… I thought.

no. I didn’t think so, but I may have had that mindset without even realizing it.

Heroines should not be viewed as a problem to be solved.

We must face each other human to human.

Hoyeon Lee swallowed again and looked at Scarlett.

“No. Nothing. Thank you for your hard work, Scarlett.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Hoyeon.

“Hoyeon worked harder than me.”

In the end, Hoyeon Lee swallowed his words.

No matter how I thought about it, apologizing now was strange.

‘Even though I don’t have a clear mind, I have a problem.’

I can’t believe it was this difficult to apologize.

Hoyeon Lee sighed and looked at the people approaching.

“Su-rin! Moon Su-rin!”

“Grandpa, no, Chairman. Please lower your voice.”

Chairman Moon Jae-cheol comes running in tears, and Moon Su-rin greets him.

The moment the reporters approached, it was too late to turn back.

Lee Ho-yeon, standing next to Moon Su-rin, greeted the chairman with mixed feelings.

*

The Academy terrorist incident was somehow put an end to.

It was a huge terrorist attack, but there were no casualties, and the culprit, Lucifer, was subdued by Lee Ho-yeon, so there wasn’t much to investigate.

However, where did the academy’s security get breached?

And how the pandemic demons move.

Those were the tasks that remained.

Since the Academy and even the Hunter Association have rushed in, the truth will soon be revealed.

‘… It’s a problem because the truth of the incident is the hero Lee Ho-yeon.’

ha.

Lee Ho-yeon lay down on the sofa in the living room and sighed.

My body still hurt, but thanks to its natural healing power, I had no trouble moving.

Lee Ho-yeon, who killed the main culprit, Lucifer, was naturally treated as a hero.

There has been a huge influx of reporters, so articles will be popping up all over the place.

Even if you didn’t see it with your own eyes, there would have been an uproar as it was the second coming of a genius wizard.

‘Of course, it was a hero who caught Lucifer… . If they knew the truth, other people wouldn’t take it that way.’

From Lee Ho-yeon’s perspective, who knows the story, catching Lucifer is a huge harvest.

But what if you knew the truth?

Ho-yeon Lee is a terrorist, and Lucifer is merely an accomplice who sympathized with the terrorist.

‘I couldn’t even properly apologize.’

I made up my mind, but in the end I couldn’t even apologize to the heroines.

I don’t regret it.

Rather, I wanted to praise myself for not making a hasty move at that time.

The sudden revelation of the truth to the heroines right after the fight must have been a huge shock to them.

Rather than accepting it as an apology, I thought, ‘What is this guy saying all of a sudden?’ This will be your first thought.

okay. It’s good that you delayed the apology.

So what should I do from now on?

Hoyeon Lee groaned and began to worry.

“… Da-eun. Why is the baby’s father like that?”

“I don’t know. When I came back, it was still like that.”

“Could it be that you have been infected by Lucifer’s magic?”

Whisper whisper.

The heroines living in Lee Ho-yeon’s house were sitting at the table and observing Lee Ho-yeon.

When I came back and saw Lee Ho-yeon still feeling weak, I was worried, but I couldn’t talk to her because she was giving off a vibe that told me not to talk to her.

In the end, I ended up sitting at the table and observing Lee Ho-yeon.

How long has it been?

Around the time when heroines’ interest in Lee Ho-yeon faded.

Hoyeon Lee jumped up from the sofa.

“Okay. I thought it was too easy. Let’s go find each person and apologize.”

“… He’s strange. Isn’t he infected by Lucifer’s magic circle? Let’s at least run a test.”

“That can’t be possible. I made that magic circle.”

“huh?”

Liliana, who came over to touch Hoyeon Lee’s head, blinked and looked at Hoyeon Lee.

Seeing that he was making strange noises, it seemed like he was clearly out of his mind, but his eyes were clear.

“That magic circle is mine. The battle broke out because Lucifer suddenly came and took away my authority.”

“Huh? Huh? Really?”

“Yes. So it’s all my fault that you fought to the death. I’m sorry, Liliana.”

Lee Ho-yeon walked to the table and bowed.

If he hadn’t designed the magic circle, the battle with Lucifer wouldn’t have occurred, and everyone wouldn’t have been in danger.

I was truly reflecting.

“Since the baby’s father said it, I’ll ask too. Why did you kidnap the Academy?”

Rebecca, who was staring at Hoyeon Lee, opened her mouth.

She knew the truth about the magic circle, but she planned to watch quietly until Lee Ho-yeon spoke.

If Lee Ho-yeon didn’t say anything until the whole incident was over, I was thinking of going to him alone and asking… Still, I’m glad you told me.

“Exactly, we didn’t kidnap the academy. We kidnapped Rebecca.”

“You kidnapped me?”

Rebecca tilted her head at the sudden words, and Ho-yeon Lee continued talking while calming his pounding heart.
