Scarlett was a genius.

No, I thought he was a genius.

From the time I was taken in by the guild leader at a young age and trained as an informant.

Scarlett had the talent to think that way.

The skills needed as an informant are stealth and hiding magical powers.

Scarlett improved her skills much faster than others in that regard.

[You have great talent, Scarlett.]

Scarlett was recognized for her skills and received the trust of the guild leader from a young age and participated in missions.

Now that she has achieved results, the Iris Guild also respects her.

[…] You beat the team leader at just 20 years old?]

Scarlett became a key executive of the Iris Guild after only a few years of active duty.

He didn’t look down on others because he had talent, but he also didn’t deny the fact that he was a genius.

Now that I think about it, it may have been Isaac’s personal greed, but… .

Scarlett was not even prepared for the sexual torture that female informants receive.

He respected her choice.

Since he was such a skilled guild member, he even went on a business trip to Korea.

It is a fact that all Iris guild members know that the guild leader is a fool.

The fact that Scarlett was dispatched to help Ellis means that her skills are guaranteed.

At first, she didn’t like the idea of coming all the way to Korea to investigate a cadet, but it was the guild leader’s order, so Scarlett headed to Korea.

And now… Somehow, I ended up living in that cadet’s house.

Taang-

Scarlett threw away the sword in front of her and gathered her magic power.

The person facing him is the black-haired Nam Da-eun.

She is a kind-hearted and cute girl I am staying with.

But now that he was holding the sword, his eyes were 180 degrees different.

‘… ‘My hands started shaking.’

Hum-

My hands are shaking just from catching Nam Da-eun’s sword.

When we first met, the difference wasn’t this much.

However, after no longer worrying about Nam Da-hee, Nam Da-eun became strangely stronger every day.

Tsk. Scarlett hid her shaking hands and took a stance.

“I’ll go again, Miss Da-eun.”

“yes.”

Sigh-

Nam Da-eun lowered her posture and followed Scarlett with her eyes.

Scarlett’s strengths are stealth and speed.

The moment you lose sight of her appearance that may strike at any moment, it becomes difficult to deal with it.

‘… now.’

Kaang!

Nam Da-eun shook off the approaching force.

Her magical power to dominate space was the same as Scarlett’s.

“Huh…!”

Scarlett bit her lip as she was thrown away.

It was just a light sparring.

She didn’t use her sincerity either, and this kind of sparring was bound to be disadvantageous for Scarlett, who specialized in stealth and surprise attacks.

‘How long can we spar in the future?’

The problem is that I am becoming more aware of her talent as each day passes.

It was now difficult to withstand Nam Da-eun’s increasingly stronger attacks.

The reason I realized this was the battle with Lucifer.

Lucifer was a monster.

I had often encountered strong enemies before, but Lucifer was even more than that.

It’s a life-threatening battle where you can’t let down your guard, as even a single attack can put your life at risk.

A strong monster that the world’s strongest guild, the Iris Guild, seems unable to defeat even if they put all their effort into it.

However, only about ten people withstood such a monster for an hour.

It was then that Scarlett saw real geniuses.

Sisters Ellis and Irene joined her in the lead.

I knew that they were the daughters of the guild leader and that they had talent from a young age.

However, the girls who actually put it together were ‘true geniuses’ different from themselves.

Even if Lucifer’s attack misses, it causes a huge shock.

Scarlett was busy avoiding attacks from the beginning of the battle until the end.

Unlike him, the two sisters gradually adapted to the attacks and eventually reached the point where they were able to repel the attacks.

During the fight, something like a novel happened that grew gradually.

“Mr. Scarlett?”

A girl tilting her head as she looks at herself lowering her sword during sparring. Nam Da-eun.

Her attack that cuts through space caused significant damage to Lucifer.

If she had just been hit by a space attack in sparring, Scarlett would have been cut in two in a matter of seconds.

That’s not all.

Rebecca and Moon Su-rin’s ability to command the battlefield saved her several times.

Imsol and the twin sisters’ magic inflicted scars on Lucifer.

The weakest and most untalented in that battle was Scarlett.

She wasn’t a genius.

“That’s all for today, Miss Da-eun.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Scarlett.”

“… Yes, Ms. Da-eun. Thank you for today as well.”

“No, please call me when it’s convenient.”

Scarlett bowed her head to Nam Da-eun and sheathed her sword.

Mixed emotions clouded her mind.

‘I don’t know what makes me feel this way.’

Scarlett knows too.

She’s not without talent.

When I went to Iris Guild this time, my strength compared to the guild members was still outstanding.

The women I saw in that battle were abnormally strong.

In the first place, not having talent does not hinder one’s life.

Scarlett wasn’t the type of person who craved strength.

I just feel frustrated for no reason.

“Let’s go up first. I guess I should at least prepare a meal.”

“Ah, yes. Then I’ll be back in a little while.”

Nod.

Scarlett bowed her head slightly and left the training ground.

And then, I encountered a man and a succubus.

“Scarlett?”

Scarlett looked at the man in front of her.

A man who always says stupid things, but sometimes shows a cool side.

Hoyeon Lee.

Why was I so surprised when I encountered him?

Huh. Scarlett cleared her throat and spoke to Hoyeon Lee.

“You are Hoyeon. What brings you here?”

“I came here for training. To check out Liliana’s magic power.”

“…okay.”

I don’t know exactly about Liliana’s magical power, but I know that there is something sealed in her as a succubus.

When you’re around this man, things you think you’ve never experienced in your life often happen.

“ah.”

“ah?”

I finally realized it.

The reason why Scarlett’s mind was complicated.

The reason why I was frustrated because she barely had any talent.

It was all because of this man.

Strange things happen around Lee Ho-yeon every day.

Succubus.

A clan of hidden runes.

Pandemic terror.

Hell’s magic.

Lucifer’s Attack.

black pillar.

Lee Ho-yeon did it with her own strength. Or solve the case by borrowing the power of other people.

He is busy every day without any days off.

In order to ride the flow, you must not disturb Lee Ho-yeon.

That’s why you can’t stand next to Lee Ho-yeon with ordinary talent.

Scarlett was worried about that.

“Scarlett. What’s wrong? You don’t look good.”

“It’s nothing. My training is over, so you can use the training ground.”

Scarlett lowered her head again.

I knew the cause of my frustration, but knowing the cause made me even more frustrated.

She frowned and headed to the first floor.

*

After meeting Scarlett at the entrance to the training room.

Liliana, who was being held captive by Hoyeon Lee, opened her mouth as she saw Scarlett hurrying up to the first floor.

“Scout must be hungry. He’s in a hurry.”

“…That’s probably not true.”

Scarlett’s expression was strange.

I see things like that sometimes, but today it was a bit worse.

“Then is it that day?”

“Shut up, you crazy succubus.”

“Ah. Argh!”

Hoyeon Lee grabbed the back of Liliana’s neck while she was talking nonsense and looked at the entrance to the training room.

Scarlett was no longer there, but her subtle expression was engraved in Lee Ho-yeon’s memory.

“I guess I’ll have to go check it out later.”

“No. Scout is also a girl. On that day….”

“Please be quiet.”

Hoyeon Lee dragged Liliana and entered the training room.

“Hmph!”

Kwaang-

And then I came face to face with the wall of the training room shattering with a loud noise.

Surprised, Liliana shook off Hoyeon Lee’s hand and looked at the woman standing at the training ground.

“Wow. Da-eun broke the wall!”

“Liliana? Ah, Hoyeon!”

Nam Da-eun, who was testing the spatial charm she was unable to use during her sparring with Scarlett, put down her sword with a bright smile as soon as she saw Lee Ho-yeon.

Although my body was just getting warmer, the fact that Lee Ho-yeon came was much more important.

Liliana scolded Nam Da-eun with her eyes wide open.

“Da-eun! Do you know how much it will cost to repair this?”

“Liliana. Any damage that occurs during training can be repaired with a magic circle. Are you really not coming to the training room?”

“Oh, Gurain?”

Liliana, who had her hand on her waist, slowly lowered her hand.

He must have been thinking of starting a fight again, saying he was the head of the family and all.

“Hoyeon.”

“Yep.”

Ho-yeon Lee gave Nam Da-eun a little hug as she approached him.

It looked really pretty with sweaty hair sticking to the cheeks during training.

“Were you training with Scarlett?”

“I was helping him by asking for some light sparring.”

“I see. Hmm. Scarlet….”

Scarlett’s expression continues to bother me. She looks worried about something.

Hoyeon Lee wrote down information about Scarlett on one side of his head.

Since I’m here to see Liliana’s magic, I’m going to focus on that for now.

“Hoyeon, are you training too? Shall we spar for the first time in a while?”

“We’ll do it later. Right now, I’m here to discuss Liliana.”

“Aha…I thought Liliana was just there to look around.”

Nam Da-eun naturally ignored Liliana.

Other than coming to play sometimes because no one is home, it seems like he hasn’t come at all.

“Liliana. Try generating magic. Let’s test it.”

There are two main things you need to know right away about Liliana’s magical power.

The first is the rumor that Albedo told me.

The question is whether Liliana’s magical power really has the power to stand against the Demon Lord.

However, since the Demon King is not in front of me, I cannot know that fact now.

So number two.

Just how strong is Liliana?

I plan to test that.

“It’s annoying….”

“I will eat chicken with you for dinner tonight.”

“Huh!”

As soon as Liliana, who was standing blankly, heard Lee Ho-yeon’s words, she unleashed the hellish magic within her body.

Just by releasing magical energy, a force that made my body shiver was released.

Lee Ho-yeon unfolded the rune barrier that protected Nam Da-eun and herself and laughed.

“…Hey, why are you so strong?”

“Succubus is the strongest!”

“No. I think I’m much stronger than before.”

She was stronger than the Liliana she saw in battle with Lucifer.

If I had been this strong back then, the battle would have been easier.

“Actually, my strength has gotten stronger since yesterday.”

“Just yesterday? Ah, it looks like the gates of hell.”

When the gates of Hell opened and Liliana went berserk.

Was the magic power released again then?

Or, as Lee Ho-yeon became stronger, Liliana’s power may have been released.

“Okay. Let’s spar first. Da-eun. Can you step aside for a moment?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“Sparring is really annoying…”

“If you win, I’ll only eat chicken for a week.”

“Haaaa!”

Liliana’s magic turned the training ground upside down.
