The empty association president’s office was filled with silence.

The president of the society was sitting in his seat, looking at the documents with his mouth closed.

Creep- Creep-

I occasionally heard the sound of someone taking notes while organizing documents.

The president of the Hunter Association did not like doing other things during work hours.

I was the type of person who had to concentrate hard and finish a task before I could move on to other things.

He rose to the position of president of the association thanks to his sincere personality and connections.

“… what?”

at that time.

The president of the association suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

“A dog is trying to bite its owner, so you need to change its behavior! Do you know who I am!”

The president of the association started pointing his point in the air with bloodshot eyes.

He hated having anyone talk to him when he was concentrating on work, so there was no one near the president’s office.

Nevertheless, the president of the association continued speaking.

“No, no… it can’t be like this. There’s not enough time. I’m telling you to take the time. Be more certain. More…!”

The president of the association raised his voice and became angry while looking at the wall.

I was pacing around the room, making strange gestures, and muttering to myself.

Sometimes he spoke softly and thoughtfully.

“Hey, hey… I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

He immediately lowered his head.

Unfamiliar information forcibly fills my mind.

You become dazed, as if you are dreaming, and forget what you are doing.

“… ah.”

I remembered something to do.

The president of the association, who was staring blankly into space, turned and disappeared out of the room.

And in the quiet room of the association president, a quiet voice rang out.

“There’s just trash here and there. There was nothing special about Korea.”

A man sitting on the reception sofa stood up.

The president of the association didn’t notice until the end, but the maestro was here from the beginning.

Sigh-

The Maestro lifted up the association president’s name plate.

The association’s mark depicting a dragon ascending to heaven.

The red pearl held by the dragon indicates that this person holds the highest position in the association.

At the same time, I recall the scene I just saw.

Brainwashing yourself works more strongly on those with weaker mental powers.

The mental strength of the man who was the president of the association was barely that level.

To Maestro, humans are like this.

“In the end, everyone is just a lackey.”

Humans mistakenly believe that they are leading their own lives, but in the end, they are following the flow of the world.

Most humans are merely servants of a few humans who are moving towards something bigger.

Except for a few important entities, they are trash not worth buying.

… And the same goes for yourself.

The Maestro has already brainwashed high-ranking figures around the world.

They will bring chaos to the world in their respective positions and prevent humans from uniting.

“Even trash can do something to kill time.”

I don’t expect much from humans.

It is enough to just act as a windbreaker until the Demon King regains his strength.

To stop his counterpart, Lee Ho-yeon.

And for the Demon Lord, who came down faster than planned.

The Maestro did what he had to do.

‘For the devil… . is it.’

The Maestro looked down at the city outside the window.

Soon the human world will be swept by disaster.

This is the day when the fear that the pandemic has instilled in humans explodes.

The Maestro has lived for it, and the future is just around the corner.

… So then, what should you live for now?

The Maestro quietly looked out the window.

Student Council President’s Office.

Ho-yeon Lee slowly rubbed the back of Su-rin Moon, who was leaning on his shoulder.

Even after finishing the story, Moon Su-rin seemed very worried.

“Don’t worry too much, Surin.”

“Hoyeon, uhm….”

My pounding heart and my panting breath became stable. Moon Su-rin’s eyes, looking at her, regained her focus.

As we continued to hug each other while talking, Moon Su-rin seemed to have calmed down a little.

Hoyeon Lee was relieved and hugged her tightly.

“Anyway, that must be a bit of a hassle. Thanks for telling me.”

To summarize what Su-rin Moon said, this is as follows.

There were people all over the world who doubted his actions.

Among them, there were some who had religious beliefs that they were being punished for breaking the black pillar.

Even if it is not necessarily a religious approach, there are people who agree to some extent by saying that they created a mess by scratching for no reason.

It was definitely annoying enough for Moon Su-rin to worry.

‘I never imagined that there would be an issue with destroying the black pillar.’

The black pillar was treated as an annoying boulder in every country, so I thought it would be okay.

‘Still, I’m glad I didn’t destroy it as recklessly as I saw.’

It’s not that Hoyeon Lee didn’t think anything of it.

I thought that no matter how black the pillar was, I could claim ownership of it since it was in my country.

So, only the black pillars in France and Korea were destroyed.

Even if a problem arises between the two countries, they will be able to resolve it with the help of the Iris Guild and Victoria Academy.

However, despite these efforts, a problem arose.

“There are some strange guys here. Don’t worry too much.”

“That’s because I’m worried about Hoyeon. I heard that quite a few people are suspicious.”

“But you trust me, right?”

“Of course. No matter what happens, I’m on Hoenn’s side.”

Su-rin Moon held Ho-yeon Lee’s hand.

The reason she lives now is Lee Ho-yeon.

I just realized that fact once more.

While I was in Lee Ho-yeon’s arms, I felt like all the stress I had received during the day was melting away.

I was sad to see Lee Ho-yeon’s face after two weeks, but just holding her in her arms and talking to her about the difficult times seemed to relieve my anger.

Now I couldn’t imagine life without him.

“For now, please ignore people who say things like that.”

“Ignore me?”

“… Yes. I have something in mind.”

Hoyeon Lee thought as she hugged Surin Moon.

There are crazy people who doubt themselves because they destroyed the black pillar.

Although they are frustrating people who destroy their own way of life, even in these situations, you have to think of efficient ways.

‘It is the black pillar that gives strength to the monsters of hell.’

black pillar.

There is no way a structure that emits such strong hellish magic could exist for no reason.

In order for monsters to operate on Earth, where the environment of hell has not yet been realized, they must receive the magic power of hell from the black pillar.

I think it is a very likely hypothesis.

‘I may not be able to properly destroy the black pillar… ‘It might be easier to declare a state of emergency.’

Originally, the plan was to mobilize the Iris Guild, the Wizards’ Society, and the Victoria Academy to inform them of the danger.

Because we need to declare a global emergency and build defenses.

But time became too short to make such a plan.

Monster attacks last for a week at the most, or a few days at the shortest.

It is difficult for selfish people to abandon immediate gains and unite in a few days.

What do people need most to understand reality?

The knife came right up to the base of the neck.

People only move when a crisis approaches.

And monsters are suitable for a crisis that the whole world fears.

There are two countries where Lee Ho-yeon broke the black pillar.

Korea and France.

Most of the things in France have been taken care of in a week, and the things in Korea should be taken care of in just a few days.

If Lee Ho-yeon’s hypothesis is correct, monsters in areas without black pillars do not exert proper power.

In other words, the damage to Korea and France would be strangely small.

Lee Ho-yeon has been openly destroying black pillars, so it is only a matter of time before the reason is revealed.

If the truth is revealed, everyone will be clinging to themselves.

‘It’s not that there is no answer at all, but if there is a way and you’re not doing it, you’ll be angry.’

If you include the Iris Guild’s operations, it is not difficult to change public opinion.

It can bring people together while providing a visible contrast.

“… ha.”

However, the problem with this plan is that many victims must come forward.

In fact, it takes a huge amount of damage to face the danger.

That fact made Lee Ho-yeon feel bad.

“Hoyeon. I will help with what I can. Don’t worry too much alone.”

Pat pat pat.

Su-rin Moon stroked Ho-yeon Lee’s head.

Hoyeon seemed very worried about what she suddenly said.

In times like this, I have to show my good side as a sister.

Meanwhile, Ho-yeon Lee chuckled as she saw Moon Soo-rin stroking her head.

It was really cute to see someone who was shaking just a moment ago pretending to be strong.

“… I love you, Sister Surin.”

“I love you too, Hoyeon.”

Ho-yeon Lee buried her face in Su-rin Moon’s chest.

The soft touch that surrounds my cheek somehow makes me feel at ease.

‘Anyway, it’s surprising that the president of the association stepped forward like that.’

Sister Surin said that the president of the association was strangely hostile.

However, the head of the Hunter Association that Ho-yeon Lee knows is not that type of person.

Both in the original work and when I actually felt it in this world.

I have never thought of the president of the association as a person upright enough to carry out his opinions.

“But the president of the association is surprising. I thought he wasn’t the type of person.”

“Have I become senile like my grandfather?”

“… Hmm. Anyway, it’s strange.”

Victoria Academy, represented by Moon Su-rin, is not just an educational institution.

The symbolism of being the world’s best academy is enormous, and academy graduates occupy important positions around the world.

Even power could not be ignored.

He had two of the strongest wizards in the world, and the professor and other students were strong enough.

But how dare you openly criticize Surin.

People became strange overnight.

When a human being who knows his place suddenly changes his attitude, it usually happens in one of two ways.

‘I got the support I deserve… ‘I’m being manipulated.’

Hoyeon Lee frowned.

It was unlikely that anyone would support him. There is no one in Korea who can support the president of the association, and there is nothing for the president to gain by working abroad.

That means the president of the association is being manipulated.

‘… Maestro.’

I thought it was quiet recently. He may have been planning something troublesome.

I think I need to check this out.
