“By East Asia, do you mean New Korea?”

“No, looking at the number in front, I don’t think it’s that one.”

then?

Why is there a sudden surge in communication requests from East Asia?

Even if I block them, they keep asking me to change my identification number…?

If the sending area had been around here, they would have clearly concluded that it was clearly a plan to confuse this area, so they should continue to ignore it.

That would have been true if the request had come from around here… but East Asia.

Even if it’s unfamiliar, it’s still too unfamiliar.

Thanks to this, even when I tried to speak, I had no choice but to keep stopping.

Actually, this has to be the case… the distance has to be a bit far.

Isn’t East Asia actually a land directly opposite to Europe, their homeland?

In addition, that area was also a place where the martial arts people had been very strong since ancient times.

Thanks to this, very few magic tower-related businesses entered there.

But requesting communication from a place like that…

No, that’s the part. Even so, how did you find this identification number?

There are probably only a few people within the Federation who know this number…

Is it because there are parts here and there that cannot be clearly explained?

Naturally, my worries began to deepen.

But I couldn’t just hang there.

The situation itself was too urgent for that to happen.

“Captain? What should I do?”

“Take it.”

“Yes? But…”

“If you feel strange about receiving a call, hang up immediately and block all requests coming from numbers in that area.”

In this situation, receiving a communication request with an unknown identification number.

Although this may not seem like a big deal at first glance, it was an action that required taking a significant risk.

That’s because the moment communication is established, the other party will be able to pinpoint your location.

It’s not that difficult if you have some technical skills.

So what if the person sending repeated communication requests is the one behind this terrorist incident?

The moment communication is connected, there is a high probability that an attack targeting them will begin.

So, considering only the aspect of possibility, it would be best to continue to ignore it as is…

A guy named ‘Gam’, who had contributed greatly to her getting to where she is now, was whispering in her ear.

Just in case, please receive it first.

‘I was thinking about becoming a wizard and relying on non-magical things like persimmon.’

Thanks to that, I suddenly had that thought… but what can I do?

That’s the way I’ve lived so far.

So, all we can do is throw the dice… and pray that the guy named ‘Gam’ who has helped her so far doesn’t betray her at the last minute.

“···I will connect you.”

It must have been the moment when a communication request received through an unknown identification number was accepted.

ㅡ···! Hey, can you hear me?

Even after blocking it again and again, did he keep changing the identification number and sending out communication requests, and was he just waiting for the communication to be connected?

A voice full of quite strong emotions came out from the portable display strapped to the wrist of a subordinate who was moving next to him.

‘But why… I feel like I’ve heard this somewhere…?’

Did I know anyone in East Asia?

That can’t be possible…

Contrary to what I had expected, the voice that felt familiar to my ears was causing the woman in charge of the role of leader of the 1st Magic Army to tilt her head, when an unfamiliar man’s voice suddenly cut in.

-Helena, please calm down first…and tell me your business first. Isn’t one o’clock an urgent situation?

-Yeah, that’s right.

Helena…?

Is Helena noodles of German origin?

Now that I think about it, I remember one of the top committee members was of German descent, so maybe the two are related…

It was a moment when the leader laughed bitterly inwardly at the continued questions that followed as soon as the question of who was not a wizard began to settle in his mind.

ㅡHmmmm…! Are you listening? This is Helena, the chief mage of the Blue Thunder School.

Once again, the voice of a woman named Helena came from the subordinate’s wrist.

“Yes, Chief Wizard Helena. What happened? How did you know this identification number?”

ㅡCan I give you an answer to the question you asked later? Because it’s urgent.

One o’clock is urgent.

Could it be that something else happened in Europe in the meantime?

As I hardened my expression at a thought that suddenly occurred to me, Helena’s voice continued.

-Actually, I am dispatched to Asia for external cooperation, and I have come across important information related to the recent terrorist incident here, so I am contacting you.

This is intelligence related to this terrorist incident.

What is that?

Even though he felt doubtful, he moved his eyes and looked towards his subordinate.

It was none other than right after that that Suha, who caught her eye movement, nodded his head once in the affirmative.

“Can I hear what that is?”

ㅡTeleport terminal.

Teleport terminal…?

-There is a high possibility that something is installed in the Hanoi teleport terminal.

Those were the last words.

As if I had said all I wanted to say, communication was cut off after that.

“There is a high possibility that something is installed in the teleport terminal…”

“Is it true?”

“I don’t know.”

To be honest… it was a piece of information that was difficult to blindly trust.

Because she knew that.

This is how the building, which only looks a little fancy at first glance, is transformed into an impenetrable fortress in times of emergency.

As for the people in charge of security at the teleport terminals installed around the world, even if they were not at the level of the magic corps under the Supreme Council, they were among the most capable within the Magic Tower.

Should I say that it is not for nothing that it is said that joining the Magic Transportation Agency, a group in charge of maintenance and repair of teleport terminals, is the next surest path to success after joining the Magic Army.

However, they install something there by deceiving the eyes of those who are backing up all the facilities installed in the terminal?

“It’s a difficult task even with decent abilities.”

“What do you mean…?”

“But I don’t rule it out.”

What if we only consider the aspect of possibility in the first place?

It made no sense that the headquarters, which could be said to be the alpha and omega of the Magic Tower Alliance, was exposed to external attacks.

” To put it bluntly, if you had stopped a passerby in the middle of a European street yesterday and told him that there would be a terrorist attack targeting the General Headquarters tomorrow, every hundred people would have been busy pointing fingers and telling him to stop saying such crazy things.”

What is the point of considering possibilities now that something no one could have imagined actually happened?

“Prepare everything you can.”

“If everything, to what extent…”

“Literally everything. The moment you get near the terminal, move as if everyone you see is an enemy.”

Of course… I know.

If you’re not careful, it can be an over-reaction.

If I’m unlucky, this order could lead to me resigning from my position as leader.

Nevertheless… I had to do it.

They are the strongest battle wizards in Europe,

A shield that protects Europe,

Because he was a ‘wizard’.

And so, finally… the sight of the terminal in the distance began to shimmer.

With their backs turned to the sun, as if they were waiting for their arrival.

Even though I had done everything I could right now, I was so anxious that I couldn’t do anything about it.

I tried to communicate with the hospital while seeing Helena wandering around the hospital room, unable to sit down.

Beep, beep, beep.

Was it no different for the Sacheon Group to have been hit hard by the terrorist incident that took place in Europe?

It took about seven attempts, including the first time walking, to finally get in touch with the local police station.

ㅡSoo, Su-hyeon…? Why are you suddenly contacting me…? I wonder if something happened there too…!

As expected… I heard the news about the terrorist incident.

“It’s not like that, so just calm down.”

ㅡ···I’m glad that’s not the case.

Although it was an inevitable situation, he always showed an intelligent and calm demeanor in front of me, so I guess it was a little embarrassing to see him look restless like he did just now.

A voice with a hint of embarrassment flowed from the portable display he was holding.

-So…what’s going on? I’m glad you contacted me first, but now the situation is…

“I know. Are you crazy because of the terrorist incident that occurred in Europe?”

I tried using casual language with the feeling of controlling the other person, but the effect was better than I expected.

-Yes, there is no fuss right now because of that incident. There are many confused employees…

Dang Soso’s voice instantly returned to normal, as if he had been embarrassed at some point.

No, but is it because of my mood that I feel like I like him slightly…?

She looks like she would put a man in her hand and hold him tight and live, but surprisingly, she was the type of person who liked being held captive…?

“I still called because of that.”

-Do you know anything about the recent terrorist incident?

“Oh, that’s not it… Helena said that if something happens next, it’s likely to happen at the teleport terminal in Hanoi?”

Helena, who was wandering around the hospital room, seemed to have reacted to my remark, but her gaze fell on me and focused on me, but I ignored it as if she was asking me when I had said such a thing.

When you don’t feel like explaining, it’s best to borrow someone else’s opinion.

ㅡ···Really?

“Yeah, so I listened to the reason and it didn’t make sense?”

-Wait a moment, let me try to communicate with those dispatched to Hanoi.

If you pretend, you’re just pretending.

This is why things are easier if the other person is quick to notice.

I was waiting for the response from the party office to come back with that thought in mind.

ㅡ···I’m not accepting it.

As soon as I heard what Dang Soso said next, I had a hunch.

The situation is getting more and more serious.

“You’re not accepting it?”

-Yes, this can’t be happening…

What the fuck…

How big is this going to get?
