Chapter Index

    Luxury hotel near the academy.

    The man sitting in the quiet room smiled.

    “Fun.”

    The Maestro’s eyes were full of desire.

    A side that is not usually shown to Pandemic’s magicians.

    The table was full of information about Lee Ho-yeon.

    Hoyeon Lee was definitely strange.

    A 20-year-old cadet with incredible career, strength, and horsepower.

    When I met him in person, he had the strength to easily overpower a low-level S-class demon.

    A strength and growth speed that cannot be explained by the word ‘prospect.’

    There was something special about him.

    The Maestro thought back to the meeting he had just had.

    As soon as he confirmed Lee Ho-yeon’s existence, he approached him and planted the strongest brainwashing.

    ‘But I wasn’t brainwashed.’

    He knows the fate of this world.

    This world’s path to destruction has already been decided.

    The moment the devil of hell descends, it will turn into a sea of fire.

    And it is he who brings down the devil of hell.

    The fate that has been assumed up to this point.

    Fate is fate because it cannot be avoided.

    “But if he too was born with destiny….”

    His brainwashing ability is a product of fate.

    His ability to ignore brainwashing is also likely a product of fate.

    The Maestro closed his eyes and continued to ponder.

    His fate to destroy the world and Lee Ho-yeon’s fate to prevent it.

    In the meantime, what should you do?

    “Tuarmamaestro.”

    The Maestro attempted to brainwash himself.

    The command is ‘Help Hoyeon Lee and protect the world.’

    Chijijik-

    But the brainwashing went away quickly.

    It was as if someone had blocked the magic power, and even though it was his own magic, he could not control it.

    “…Tuarmamaestro.”

    The Maestro unleashed his magic again.

    This time it was a different command.

    ‘Kill Lee Ho-yeon and raise the status of the pandemic.’

    Slurp-

    The Maestro immediately felt a sense of elation filling his body.

    I felt a sense of duty to kill Lee Ho-yeon at any cost.

    The forcibly moving arm was in contact with the pandemic.

    -Maestro. What’s going on?

    “…it’s nothing.”

    widely-

    Maestro cut off the magic before it became dangerous and kept his mouth shut.

    It was the same this time too.

    This damned fate forced itself to destroy the world.

    There was nothing he could do in front of those waves.

    Strongly-

    The Maestro quietly closed his eyes as the feeling of helplessness filled his body.

    *

    “…Whew.”

    I sat down on the street, staring blankly into space, then got up.

    Even though the maestro disappeared, my heart didn’t stop pounding, but it couldn’t continue like this.

    I thought as I clenched my fists with trembling hands.

    Maestro.

    The feeling of seeing it in a game and seeing it in person was definitely different.

    Is that the guy who is the final boss?

    I don’t know how strong it is, but the atmosphere and force gave off an aura.

    “….”

    I took a deep breath and relaxed.

    Fortunately, the trembling in my heart gradually decreased, and I had time to reflect on the meeting we had just had.

    “First… check the brainwashing first.”

    He was making strong use of the rune barrier, and his mental defense was solid with his special privilege [Clear Mental Power].

    However, the energy of the maestro I met in person was beyond my imagination.

    Considering that he recognized me right away even though I defended myself like this, it is possible that brainwashing got through my defenses.

    Just in case, I need to check to see if he’s been brainwashed.

    “Tuarmamaestro.”

    If you have been brainwashed, you will experience extreme pain and it will trigger the return of your memories.

    I closed my eyes slightly and prepared for the pain, but even after speaking the brainwashing words, the pain did not come.

    “…Luckily, I’m immune to brainwashing?”

    There is a possibility that he was not brainwashed, but it is much more likely that he was.

    It’s good news that we’re defending the Maestro’s greatest ability.

    ‘But why did you appear in front of me?’

    Although I wasn’t brainwashed, I continued to worry.

    Let’s just say the fear I felt after meeting the Maestro.

    If it’s the final boss, you have to do that much.

    Moreover, I clearly remembered the sensations I felt this time.

    There is still a lot of time left, so we can take action.

    The problem is why the Maestro is here.

    If you came to me on purpose, there’s no reason for you to just ask for directions and then disappear.

    Besides, he didn’t have any hostility at all. The proof is that his fighting senses were not activated.

    “My head hurts….”

    I slowly continued to ponder and picked up the cake.

    When I took a quick look inside, I saw a cake that was completely crushed.

    “…What should I do with this? Ah, I guess I just need to restore it?”

    You can return the cake using the rune barrier you learned from Rebecca.

    I have experience healing Scarlett’s wounds in France, so if I can apply that… .

    ‘Rebecca?’

    At that time, Rebecca’s presence flashed through my mind.

    Rebecca is currently being chased by Pandemic.

    I thought there was a brief pause while destroying the Korean hideout, but did the Maestro come to Korea himself to catch Rebecca, who betrayed her during the pandemic?

    Feeling anxious, I called Rebecca.

    -Hello, baby daddy~ What’s going on?

    Rebecca’s voice was bright.

    Fortunately, nothing serious has happened yet.

    “Rebecca, where are you now?”

    -I’m staying out for a while. I’m going to stop by the hospital and then go to the supermarket. Why?

    “Tell me where. Quick!”

    This person is stuck at home. Why is he wandering around and making a fuss?

    I raised my voice in frustration.

    -Victoria Obstetrics and Gynecology. Why are you so angry? What’s going on?

    “Wait there. I’m leaving now.”

    Pop-

    I hung up the phone and started running fast.

    Victoria Obstetrics and Gynecology.

    I remember seeing it around the academy.

    I don’t think even a maestro would do anything strange in the middle of the academy, but… I need to see your face just in case.

    *

    “Is your baby’s dad acting a little strange today?”

    Rebecca looked at her smartwatch and tilted her head.

    I’m not the type of person to get angry like that, but I wonder if something happened.

    “Lee Soo-ah, please come in.”

    “yes~!”

    Rebecca had many aliases, and Lee Su-ah was one of them.

    Rebecca entered the examination room with anticipation.

    Today is the day to confirm pregnancy.

    Finally, the fruition of my baby’s father and myself… .

    “I don’t think I’m pregnant.”

    “ah….”

    But unfortunately, the pregnancy failed.

    Rebecca trudged out of the examination room.

    I thought I would have at least one child a year, but I never thought getting pregnant would be this difficult.

    “Uhm…yeah. There are a lot of opportunities.”

    I only failed once.

    Rebecca made another promise and tried to leave the hospital, but stopped.

    “That’s right. Baby’s dad told me to stay here.”

    I don’t know what’s going on, but it seemed urgent, so let’s wait for now.

    Rebecca, who was sitting quietly in the hospital lobby, started the smartwatch.

    And then opened the search box.

    -How to get pregnant well

    “Hmm. Appropriate exercise and enough sleep… not drinking or smoking. This is all I do.”

    As I continued to think about getting pregnant, my confidence seemed to increase.

    Now that I have regained my mindset, the pregnancy will go well.

    “Rebecca!”

    Then I heard a familiar voice.

    When I looked up, I saw Lee Ho-yeon out of breath.

    “The baby’s dad is here?”

    “Ha, yes. Huh… are you okay?”

    “Yes, of course it’s okay. Did something happen? Why did you run in so quickly?”

    It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you this urgent.

    Have you ever wondered about the outcome of your pregnancy?

    I’ll tell you when I get home anyway.

    “I just met the Maestro.”

    “…Maestro?”

    “Yes. It seemed like he recognized me, but there was no hostility… so I ran over, wondering if Rebecca was the target. I’m really glad that nothing happened. Huh….”

    “What….Baby dad, I’m so touched!”

    Lee Ho-yeon ran so quickly that sweat was beading on his forehead.

    Rebecca felt an inexplicable warmth as she wiped away Lee Ho-yeon’s sweat.

    The feeling of being cared for for the first time in a long time gave Rebecca, who was only thinking about Rune’s family, a good feeling.

    “It could be a big problem. You have to be careful.”

    “I understand. What is this? Did you get crushed because you were in a hurry?”

    “Ah…it’s okay.”

    “It’s okay. Just give it to me for a moment.”

    Rebecca took the cake out of Lee Ho-yeon’s hand and unleashed the rune barrier.

    The barrier, filled with magical power, quickly restored the cake.

    Slurp-

    “Okay, baby daddy, thank you for worrying about me.”

    “…What? Just in case, go home right away. No, I’ll take you home.”

    “No. I think I was going out to have fun. I’ll go alone.”

    “No, that’s not important. It could be dangerous.”

    “Yes. Ah, baby daddy. I’m not pregnant. We have to try harder.”

    “Oh. This person is real.”

    Rebecca smiled as charmingly as a flower.

    The bright smile was so attractive that Lee Ho-yeon avoided her eyes without realizing it.

    *

    “I feel a little relieved now.”

    After arguing with Rebecca about going back alone, we eventually agreed to call Scarlett.

    Seeing that nothing happened to Rebecca, I couldn’t understand Maestro’s actions even more… Still, it’s not like something happened.

    There is no choice but to ignore answers that do not come to mind even when you think about them.

    “It’s not too late, right?”

    A lot of time had passed since I bought the cake, met the Maestro, and met Rebecca.

    Because more than an hour has passed.

    It was quite late to have just gone to buy a cake.

    I quickly ran to the academy club building.

    After arriving at the club building. I was able to get to the club room quickly.

    When I quietly opened the door, I heard Lucy’s excited voice.

    “This is it!”

    “ah….”

    At the table, Nam Da-eun with a devastated expression and Lucy holding a card and looking happy were seen.

    Beside him, Rumi was smiling and clapping her hands.

    Nam Da-eun, who was looking at the remaining Joker in her hand, opened her mouth in a disappointed tone.

    “The game is difficult. Everyone is so good.”

    “Miss Da-eun’s eyes move when she sees Joker… so it’s easy to pick her.”

    “I see… I’ll be careful.”

    “Rumi! What if I tell you that? I can’t win now!”

    You’re having a good time.

    Still, I’m glad.

    I walked inside with the cake.

    “Huh? Hoyeon.”

    “Mr. Hoyeon?”

    “What. Why are you so late?”

    “I’m sorry. I had something to do on the way back. But I brought you a cake.”

    I apologized and put down the cake.

    Rumi held my hand and made me sit at the table.

    “Hoyeon, let’s play together too. Now we can hunt penguins 2v2…!”

    “…Penguin hunting? This is my first time hearing about it.”

    I blinked at Rumi, whose eyes were wide open as if excited.

    “It’s okay. Just learn and do it.”

    “Since this is Ms. Da-eun’s first time, then I’ll split teams with me and Lucy.”

    “Yes….”

    Lucy and Rumi put down the cute penguins on the table.

    I glanced ahead and saw that Nam Da-eun was also looking forward to seeing the cute penguins.

    okay.

    If you guys like it, I like it too.

    I don’t know what penguin hunting is, but I needed peace of mind right now.

    If you play a fun game, you will calm down a bit.

    I sat down next to Rumi and started playing the game.
