-Chuck!

Park Mak-rye lifts the hilt of the sword with his thumb.

Her right hand is already on the handle.

Baldo’s posture looks as if he will pull out his sword at any moment.

Her eyes were focused on Han Si-hu.

The eyes were once again full of doubt.

Even dark life was flowing out.

“Kid? Would you like to take off your goggles for a moment? This old lady has something to check for a moment.”

Park Mak-rye’s voice was filled with goosebumps. I had a feeling that something bad would happen if I didn’t follow her words.

“Why are you suddenly telling me to take off my goggles?”

“Chairman of the Association-?! calm down! I don’t know what’s going on, but… … !”

Han Si-hoo and Iria wave both hands at Park Mak-rye’s unusual pose. In particular, Iria was blocking Sihu’s way and stopping her.

There was no other reason.

Because I sensed a noble spirit.

Park Mak-rye was usually very playful, but

There was no trace of playfulness on her face right now.

‘I don’t know what’s going on, but I have to protect Sihu. The only thing I can do is defend myself… … .’

I don’t know if it’s a one-on-one fight.

I was cautious because it was something I had to protect.

If you step forward hastily, Sihu will be cut in the blink of an eye.

“Get out of the way right now, Leah.”

“President of the Association, please take your hand off your sword and speak! What are you doing all of a sudden?!”

“Did I tell you? It’s just a very simple test.”

Park Mak-rye still maintains her posture and twitches her chin toward Han Si-hoo. Her goal was only one. Even if Iria got in the way, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

I was just asking for consent out of courtesy.

“… Kid? If you take off your goggles, I will also take off my sword.”

“Yes… … ?”

In a tense standoff, Park Mak-rye is surprisingly the first to propose a compromise.

ㅡSrurruk…

Park Mak-rye, who seemed ready to run at any moment, relaxes her body. He made the first move to reassure the other person.

He bent his back in a lowered Baldo stance and showed his intention to attack. Of course, her hand was still resting on the hilt of the sword.

It was implicitly implying that they could attack at any time.

“Ah, I understand! Just take it off… … !”

Even though I didn’t know this even after an hour,

There was no other way for him.

I don’t know what she wanted, but the priority was to calm her down.

Moreover, goggles were only a hindrance in combat situations.

-Rattle!

Sihu Han quickly took off his goggles to calm her down. Then he placed the goggles on the desk and grumbled to himself.

‘Be patient, it’s not like I’m taking something from you… … . And they say I just need to do an interview, but suddenly they say it’s some kind of practical test?’

It was even more emotional because it was a gift filled with Iria’s affection. Of course, it was a product made by the association, but the attitude of constantly telling me to do this or that was annoying.

ㅡChakang!

But then a sharp metallic sound is heard.

「Makrye Shingeom 4-second diet, light rain walk」

ㅡSsssut… !

Although he could not hear the technical name,

I felt a cool and calm wind.

It was a breeze that seemed to blow like spring rain.

“What… … !?”

However, he was showing the reaction of someone who faced a typhoon rather than a cool breeze.

He let out an exclamation like a very surprised person.

I opened my mouth wide and could hardly close it.

That’s right… … .

‘Oh, before I knew it, he was approaching me… … ?’

Park Mak-rye was standing in front of Sihu.

With the expression of an old man about to drink.

Clearly, Iria was blocking the path with her arms outstretched.

The movements were so fluid and quick that it was difficult to catch them with the naked eye.

-Chuck!

Moreover, she was already holding her sword out. He was also aiming the sharp tip of his sword between Sihu’s eyes.

ㅡJureuk… … .

No, it felt like I had already been stabbed.

A thin stream of blood flows from the forehead.

I feel a tingling sensation between my eyebrows.

Suddenly, I felt hot sweat flowing down my face.

No, really hot liquid is flowing.

ㅡDrop drip… !

Red liquid falls to the floor under Sihu’s vision.

“Huh? What, what… ? blood… … ?”

It was like that. It was real blood.

Fresh blood drips from the tip of the nose.

Park Mak-rye’s sword actually touched the area between the eyes.

If she had wanted to, it wouldn’t have been a problem to pierce her head.

“Hmm, this, this… … . I am very different from what I expected.”

Unlike Han Si-hoo, who was very embarrassed, Park Mak-rye’s face was nothing but calm.

– Whirring! Chakang!

She swirled the sword in the air as if nothing had happened, brushed off the blood, and finished the sword. It was a neat movement without any unnecessary details.

“Si, Sihuya-?! Are you okay!?”

“Uh… ? Oh, it doesn’t hurt… … .”

-Wow!

Because Park Mak-rye’s movements were so quick, Iria only now reacts. I belatedly hugged Han Si-hoo and looked at his wounds.

Fortunately, the wound was not deep.

A small scratch that doesn’t even leave a scar.

There was blood flowing out, so it wasn’t a big deal.

“Chairman of the Association-?! What are you doing now-!”

After confirming that his wounds were not deep,

Iria glares at Park Mak-rye and shoots.

For her, Sihu’s safety was her top priority, so counterattacking was the next best option.

In reality, the odds of winning weren’t that high.

“I’m really sorry. I felt something suspicious so I decided to give it a try. I never thought there would be no reaction at all… … .”

“Seeing such an innocent face makes me feel suspicious… … .”

“Tsk tsk… ! I guess I really got into this.”

Park Mak-rye clicks his tongue and shakes his head at Iria’s reaction.

“Don’t react like that! You don’t know anything about Sihu… … !”

“Okay… … . You’re right. I don’t know anything.”

Park Mak-rye nods his head this time.

Then he immediately took his hand off the sword.

It has been confirmed that further testing is meaningless.

ㅡJerbuk, Jerbuk

Then, Park Mak-rye approaches Han Si-hu and Iria. She slowly chanted while looking at Iria who was wary of her.

“Actually, Lia, I’ve been suspicious ever since you asked for those goggles. Suddenly, I need goggles that can completely block intrinsic energy… … . I need to be able to erase this feeling of something strange.”

It was exactly as Park Mak-rye said.

No matter how trusting the relationship is,

Iria’s behavior recently has been unusual.

‘Isn’t he the first to ask for help all of a sudden? Wouldn’t anyone ask me to make goggles that look suspicious? They even brought an unidentified boy and asked him to enroll him in the academy… … .’

From Park Mak-rye’s perspective, it was suspicious enough.

And the interview just before was also strange.

In particular, Park Bi-hwa’s attitude was also suspicious.

So, I came to talk to her alone.

In some ways, Park Mak-rye’s reaction might have been natural.

“These goggles are simply… … !”

“ done. I’m sorry about this. I apologize.”

Park Mak-rye did not pursue it any further.

She just… … .

ㅡCheoeok!

He just got down on one knee, was at eye level with Han Si-hoo, and apologized.

“I’m really sorry. Can you forgive this senile old man for his rudeness?”

“… … ?”

The two people are embarrassed by the sudden change in attitude. On the other hand, Park Mak-rye had a very serious expression.

‘If he was really a child related to a villain, he would never have stood still after my killing blow just now. And if this kid was really the Dark Lord, something even more shocking would have happened… … .’

Park Mak-rye’s mind wanders as he examines Han Si-hoo’s bright red eyes.

Just like her inner thoughts, the strike just now was truly an attack filled with murderous intent. If I had wanted to, I would have cut off his head.

But this is only a test.

It was to see his reaction.

If it had been as she expected, I knew she would definitely counterattack.

But that wasn’t the case at Hansihu.

To be precise, I couldn’t react.

This was because reflection was turned [OFF] to test the performance of the goggles.

Park Mak-rye simply did not know this fact.

“That… He seemed very surprised, perhaps because he suddenly saw blood. I never thought it would just freeze.”

“Don’t just say it with words, hurry and stop the bleeding… … !”

“Don’t worry too much. Because it’s not that deep of a wound. And since I did it, it would be right for me to take it back.”

“Oh, no way… … ?”

ㅡSrurruk… … .

Park Mak-rye offers a polite apology and at the same time extends one hand towards Si-hoo. Her hand was once again directed towards Sihu’s forehead.

“Haaa… … ?”

Han Si-hoo is so surprised by her touch that he closes his eyes. On the other hand, Iria did not bother to block her touch.

Rather, it seemed as if she knew very well what she was trying to do.

ㅡUgh, swoosh… !

Park Mak-rye puts pressure on the wound with his index finger.

She rubbed her hands like that a few times.

And after a while, she takes her hand away.

Then, to my absolute surprise.

“Oh… ? The bleeding has stopped… … ?”

Not only the blood, but the small wound on his forehead also disappeared without a trace.

“I’m really sorry for unintentionally giving you a bottle and medicine. Don’t worry about your injuries anymore.”

“Well, what… How did you do it?”

“Hmm? Well, whatever. I just turned back the time in your cells a little bit with my unique energy.”

“Yes? Turning back time in cells… … ?”

Shihu just twitched his eyes.

Still, I exuded admiration within myself.

It is truly a unique skill worthy of a former S-Class No. 1.

Still, he checked his forehead again. It really felt like something magical had been done.

“It’s not a big deal. We can only slightly reverse the flow of limited space and time.”

“Flow of space and time… … ?”

“Well, since it is an ability that can only be used in such a limited range, it is mainly used to heal wounds.”

“Well, there’s no way something like that would be possible… ! What on earth is the name of that unique technique?”

Sihu Han quickly lost his hostility and asked the question again. I was relieved that the misunderstanding seemed to have been resolved.

“Ah, you mean the name of Gogigi? hmm… It’s no big deal.”

“Still, I’m curious… !”

The plan was to store data in advance for later use.

“Hmm, what the other heroes said… They say, “Grandma’s hands are weak.””

“… … ?”

What is that.

It really wasn’t a big deal.

The naming sense is really bad.
