‘If you think about it for a moment…’

The sound of artificially creating a magic storm or something using the magic circle installed in the terminal means that the magic circle is in effect, right?

“Strictly speaking, it’s a little different.”

“It’s different?”

“Yes, when magic is activated, that much magical power is consumed. If your goal is to artificially create a magic storm, you will want to keep it on standby.”

That’s right…

” Then. What happens if we connect the magic circles of the terminal here in New Chengdu with the magic circles of the terminal in Hanoi?”

“Of course… the magic circle is activated… ah.”

I may not know basic magic, but I am completely unfamiliar with high-level magic such as teleportation, so I wondered if this would work as I was talking, but looking at Helena’s reaction, it seems that it is not an impossible task.

then?

Isn’t it obvious what needs to be done?

“Let’s go to the teleport terminal.”

“Ji, now?”

“Yes.”

If you’re stuck in a hospital room like this and just feeling restless, wouldn’t it be right to try something?

Of course, there is a possibility that the wizards working at the terminal here in New Castle City will be uncooperative, but if I lead the work with Helena instead of taking the lead, that probably won’t happen.

It wouldn’t be much different if they were the ones feeling confused by the terrorist incident that occurred in Europe.

And people who are confused want someone to step in and lead them.

‘Helena is…well enough to be a leader.’

So I tried to immediately move towards the teleport terminal.

“No.”

“No, I’m in a hurry right now, right?”

“The fact that time is urgent is also true for the patient’s body.”

“The teleport terminal might explode!, yo.”

“If I send the patient like this, won’t my career instead of the teleport terminal explode?”

Before I could even leave the floor where my hospital room was located, I encountered strong resistance from the doctor in charge.

The will not to let go even if it means death.

Something like that was blocking my path and burning brightly in the doctor’s eyes.

To be honest, I wanted to unlock it by sliding it to the side, but the real problem was not the doctor in charge, but the nurses standing behind the doctor.

Was this not the first time VIPs admitted to the hospital escaped in this way?

Before we knew it, everyone had piled in and were forming a scrum, standing behind the doctor in charge.

Isn’t that why you often see it at places like American football games?

It was forming and blocking the entire hallway… and just by looking at it, it seemed impossible to break through using normal methods.

But to be honest, it’s a bit much for me to use my hands against the nurses… I think I’m a bit of a bastard, but I’m not so bad that I act like a bastard even to the people who treated me kindly.

I don’t know what people who know me think, but that’s what I thought.

Thanks to this, I am in a difficult situation, unable to do this or that…

Seueueuu

Helena, who was sitting next to me, took out a wand from the sleeve of the robe she was wearing and held it in her hand.

Then he aimed it at the people standing in front of him.

“Sleep…!”

It must have been a moment when he was inwardly astonished at the series of processes that flowed like a stream and urgently stretched out his hand to dissuade Helena.

“ㅡㅡ!”

A startling word with bizarre pronunciations that is still difficult to pinpoint and explain came out of Helena’s mouth…

Boom! Craddangtangtang!

“Kya?!”

“Aaaak-!”

The nurses who were standing with their arms around each other blocking the hallway fell down like bowling pins hit by a bowling ball.

“That’s it now. Let’s go.”

That’s exactly what the scene was said to be in the background.

I thought to myself as I watched Helena jumping between the people lying on the floor and eventually breaking through the cordon.

‘Poisonous lotus…’

Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will try to avoid doing anything that might provoke Helena.

Actually, getting out of the hospital was a problem, but once I got out of the hospital, it was literally a breeze.

We were busy doing something with a portable display in the elevator, but it turned out that we were calling for a self-driving taxi, because no sooner had we left the hospital, a taxi was waiting for us.

However, there was only one taxi prepared and there were three people who had to ride in it, so we had to sit in the back seat.

Why not split the ride, with two riding in the back and one riding in the passenger seat?

If this were reality, it would have been possible, but unfortunately, it was impossible in this world.

In the case of self-driving taxis, the front seat is completely blocked.

At first glance, it is said that this is to fundamentally prevent the unexpected behavior of passengers from affecting driving… Anyway, thanks to this, three people had to sit side by side in the back seat.

The problem was that all three of them had heights above average.

As a result, it was impossible not to raise complaints.

Could it be that something like that had an influence?

“Why don’t you just stay in the hospital? I don’t think there’s any need to follow me there.”

“I don’t like it… ”

“Hmm…”

“What, what.”

While Helena, who was more sensitive than usual due to the situation, was taking charge of Hayoung, a taxi ran quickly down the road and dropped us off in front of the teleport terminal.

Taking control of the teleport terminal I entered like that was as easy as breathing.

As expected, the wizards guarding the terminal were not much different from the ones who were in confusion due to the incident that occurred in Europe.

Still, I thought there might have been a bit of a scuffle in the process of handing over control, but there was no such thing and as soon as Helena could prove her identity, she suddenly handed over the authority.

Just like people who have been waiting for this moment to arrive.

And thanks to the fact that the wizards guarding the terminal were very cooperative(?), I was able to put into practice the plan I had made on the way from the hospital to here without too much difficulty.

Well, when you express it as a plan, it seems like something very important and grandiose, but in reality, it was just a very ignorant and simple task that involved fixing the coordinates of the teleportation magic circle in Hanoi and activating the magic indefinitely.

“But why is Hanoi suddenly…?”

“This is an instruction from the upper echelons of the Union. The situation is so urgent that it is difficult to explain in detail, so I hope you will follow along.”

“Oh, I understand.”

In order to gain control of the teleport terminal located here in New Castle City, Helena used all the cards she could.

One of them was to reveal the existence of my maternal uncle, who is currently a member of the Supreme Council of the Magic Tower Alliance.

Even with the title of Chief Wizard, she is by no means at a level where she can be ignored, and she even has one of the top committee members as her back?

No matter how much wizards often show a lack of social skills, at this point they have developed social skills that are not present.

So, there are bound to be people who say something different.

It must have been at the moment when preparations to activate the magic circle were just about completed under Helena’s sudden command.

“No, what on earth is this…”

Since it was an urgent situation, I thought it would be best to move as quickly as possible, so I ended the communication by saying I would contact you again later.

Did they rush here after hearing from the hospital that we had escaped?

Dang Soso, with a slightly tense expression, joined us.

But then they said they were seeing wizards busy moving around.

“Aren’t you thinking something strange?”

“What a strange thought?”

“He said he was heading there directly to rescue the personnel who had been dispatched to Vietnam…”

“Me?”

No, why on earth did you think like that…?

I made that expression because I was really thinking about it.

Dang So-so, who saw my facial expression, thought it was his answer and made an expression as if he was saying that he would not be deceived even if I said things like that.

“Because you like meddling in other people’s business. And… it’s completely no one else’s business anymore…”

That’s true… but.

Even if that were the case, I had no intention of jumping directly into Vietnam.

Especially… especially through the teleportation magic circle that is right in front of you.

Would you be crazy enough to do something like that?

No one knows what awaits beyond the magic circle.

It would be fortunate if there was no one beyond the magic circle, but in the worst case, there could be warlocks setting up camp and waiting for them.

But using that to go to Hanoi?

The moment you do that, you will literally be attacked from all directions, so unless you want to die, there is no reason to act like that.

“···You really don’t intend to do that, right?”

“So?”

“I’m glad that’s not the case. Thanks to you, I can commit without worrying that you might get caught.”

huh···?

You committed it? what···?

It must have been the moment when a question mark appeared in my head at Dang So-so’s remarks, which seemed a bit strange.

“The magic circle will be activated in 10 seconds, so everyone please step back to avoid being caught in the teleportation magic!”

As that same cry echoed through the space where we were currently standing, Tang Soso pulled out something from between her breasts.

Then, with an insignificant hand gesture, as if throwing trash into a trash can, he threw it toward the center of the magic circle.

“No, that was just…?”

“Oh, it’s no big deal. Is it just… a small gift for those who might be waiting on the other side?”

So what is that trivial thing?
