“The principal? Then surely… … ”

Shock gradually spread across Han Si-yeon’s face as she muttered softly.

It was not surprising that the headmaster of the circle was one of the S-class superhumans, known as the pinnacle of superhumans, but what came to Han Si-yeon’s mind right now was a little different from that.

‘If that person is that person, then he’s a weirdo who hides his identity just because he finds it annoying!’

That’s right.

In fact, Ellis was better known for being an eccentric than for being an S-class superhuman.

The extent of his eccentricity was so extreme that he did not even properly show up at official events hosted by the Superhuman League or even at the Circle’s events, simply because his own curiosity took priority.

‘Of course, it’s a bit difficult to believe it just by hearing a single word… … ‘

Han Si-yeon glanced at Ellis.

Aside from her purple eyes, she is covered in white from head to toe, and she even moves at her own pace.

It was exactly like the rumors going around the Internet.

‘And above all, if that person is really the headmaster of the circle, it would also be easy to explain who used that outrageous magic a little while ago.’

Han Si-yeon, who had finished organizing her thoughts, carefully opened her mouth.

“Did you notice something happened in the circle and come here?”

“That’s right, I set it up so that if something of a certain scale happened in the circle while I was away, a signal would come right away.”

Ellis said that and frowned slightly.

“Thanks to that, I was in the Demon Realm and flew straight here.”

A light remark, as if he had just been at home and was heading to work.

But now, her one word was enough to shock Han Si-yeon once again.

‘A devil’s paradise… … ‘

The space created when a dungeon is mixed with the Earth’s space is called a field.

And the field was divided into levels 1 to 10 depending on how many dungeons overlapped.

Then what about the demon realm above it?

It was the name given to an area created by overlapping at least 11 dungeons.

The Demon Realm is a place that cannot be explained simply by saying that the monsters are ferocious.

Some have gone so far as to say that the environment itself is hostile to humans.

‘I can’t believe you can go to a place like that and look like that… ‘

When Han Si-yeon was surprised inside.

‘Did you pull the trigger here… … ‘

Ellis briefly felt around on the rooftop with her hand and then looked at Han Si-yeon.

“It looks like you’ve been here for quite some time.”

Ellis’s eyes were indifferent as she spoke.

It was natural.

In the first place, she wasn’t interested in Han Si-yeon.

“Then do you know who fought with whom here? Specifically, I want to know who made this guy like this.”

Ellis said so and made a slight gesture.

Then Monica’s head, which had been in the corner of the rooftop, flew up.

‘I was wondering where you went, and you were there.’

Han Si-yeon sighed inwardly as she looked at Monica’s head, which seemed to have been cut off by something and had nothing below the neck.

It seemed that Do Yu-jin had left only her neck behind to hide Monica’s signature.

“Judging from the expression on your face, it seems clear that you know something.”

Ellis, looking at Han Si-yeon’s complicated face, spoke with confidence.

Han Si-yeon quietly kept her mouth shut without saying anything positive or negative.

Han Si-yeon was still not sure if she was the headmaster of the circle, but there was one thing.

He could feel that she was a powerful opponent who was far superior to him, but also not an opponent that could be easily overcome with clumsy lies.

“So, who was fighting with the kid here?”

In that moment, countless thoughts appeared and disappeared in Han Si-yeon’s head.

And in the end, all that was left was someone’s small muttering.

-Let’s fight, just like you wanted.

The guy ended up keeping his promise.

“… … Me.”

So this time it was his turn to keep his promise.

“I caught it.”

“… … You made him like this?”

“Yes, I’m the one who caught that villain.”

Han Si-yeon finished speaking like that and then closed her mouth.

Ellis stared at Han Si-yeon intently and then blurted out:

“Are you saying that because you don’t believe I’m the headmaster of the circle? Because you don’t think you can give information to someone whose identity you can’t verify?”

“No, I don’t have any specific evidence, but I’m halfway convinced that it’s the principal.”

“And you still say that?”

“… … Yes.”

Hit-

Ellis, who had been quiet for a moment, approached Han Si-yeon and asked.

“Do you know that I have the right to expel any student from my circle?”

“No… … ”

“Really? Well, maybe I didn’t know. I haven’t used this authority since I became the headmaster of the circle.”

Hit-

“But I told you now, so you understand? So I’ll ask you one more time.”

Ellis, who had already approached Han Si-yeon, asked quietly while releasing her momentum.

“Who took care of this guy?”

The feeling of countless needles of light being aimed at you.

If the scenery we saw through Do Yu-jin a little while ago was a bottomless pit, then the scenery we see behind Ellis now is the exact opposite.

It was a white pillar that stretched so high into the sky that you couldn’t see its end.

“I… … caught… … !”

Because of that, Han Si-yeon was able to answer.

Even though the type was different, I had already felt and adapted to a similar sense of pressure.

At Han Si-yeon’s answer, Ellis looked at her quietly.

“Sigh… … ”

He let out a sigh and released his momentum.

“Well, okay. That’s what my cute school student said too.”

Toouk-

“Since you caught him, it doesn’t seem like the guy here was a bad villain, so I’ll believe you just this once.”

“Really?”

At Han Si-yeon’s reaction, Ellis raised the corners of her lips slightly as if she found it cute and patted her head.

“If you’re going to hide it, hide it properly. If you say it like that, I’ll find out.”

“… … That’s right, I caught it.”

Ellis couldn’t help but laugh at that incredibly clumsy sight.

Hearing him, Han Si-yeon blushed in embarrassment, but opened her mouth again and muttered in a small voice,

“And… …It’ll probably be okay.”

The movements of the ghosts that Han Si-yeon had seen so far were extremely thorough.

But there’s no way the guy who moved like that didn’t know that he couldn’t fool Ellis with his own abilities.

So maybe he didn’t want to deceive Ellis either.

“Are you saying that it’s not me who’s trying to deceive, but other people? Am I just a stepping stone for that?”

Ellis muttered quietly, having reached the same conclusion as Han Si-yeon with just one word.

Then he smiled with a strange expression and looked at Han Si-yeon.

“Looks like you’ve gotten involved with a pretty annoying guy.”

“Somehow I happened to see it… … ”

Han Si-yeon nodded with sincerity.

“Hmm, okay, good.”

Looking at Han Si-yeon like that, Ellis smiled faintly.

“But there’s no reason for me to necessarily join your play? Otherwise, what is it? Do you still have something to say to me?”

“Yes, there are still some left.”

“Oh, what is it?”

Ellis looked at Han Si-yeon with eyes filled with small anticipation and asked.

“I think there are teachers connected to villains in the circle right now.”

“Hmm, really?”

“Huh? You’re not as surprised as I thought?”

“Well, this vacation was a bit long. I expected there to be weeds growing around the house.”

Ellis said that and nodded her head slightly.

“So that’s all you want to say?”

At Ellis’ indifferent response, Han Si-yeon stuttered slightly and muttered what Do Yu-jin had left behind.

“Hmm… …and there’s also information about the location of that villain’s lab and those strange mines.”

“Any information about those guys? They certainly don’t look like your average minesmen… … ”

“He called me a half-demon.”

“Half mara… … Okay, what information is this?”

In response to Ellis’ question, Han Si-yeon glanced at her device and said.

“… … I can give you a brief explanation, but can I give you the details later?”

“I guess you haven’t heard from him yet?”

Han Si-yeon didn’t say anything.

But the blushing expression alone was enough to answer the question.

“Hmm, well, fine. If you give me that kind of information in return, I’ll do anything I can to lightly match the beat.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I like solving puzzles quite a bit.”

Ellis said so and waved her hand slightly.

Choaaaak-!

Then, the two bodies rose into the air, and the entire rooftop was shattered as if it had been hit by something.

The purpose was to prevent secrets from being leaked to anyone by erasing the entire building of any remaining traces.

“Okay, now follow me.”

“Yes? Me? Why?”

“Don’t worry too much, I won’t eat you.”

Ellis said with a smile.

“I just wanted to have a quick chat. I needed someone to explain what was going on while I was gone.”

“Veto right is… … ”

Shhh-

“Of course not.”

Ellis said with a smile full of the wizard’s characteristic curiosity.
