[This is the place where the battle between the demon Karkus and the wizard Lee Ho-yeon took place. Although it was washed away by the sea, traces of the battle still remain… .]

In the news, the anchor was standing in front of a sandy beach that was off limits.

The west coast of the United States where the battle between the demon Carcus and Lee Ho-yeon took place.

Reporters were still flocking there.

Carkus’ body was only revealed as a photo and was being studied by the Wizarding Society, and people’s anxiety about the newly appeared threat grew.

“Ha…what are you asking me to do?”

Ellis, who was watching the news about Carcus and Lee Ho-yeon, sighed deeply.

She is in the Iris Guild’s Team 1 leader’s office.

It was the office used by my older sister, Irene.

Iris Guild.

The Iris Guild, which has gradually grown in strength based on an overwhelming amount of information and talented people, has now become the world’s number one guild that no one can ignore.

The presence of the Iris Guild Leader, who rules the night, was a big factor in getting this far, but in Ellis’s opinion, there were other reasons as well.

Within the guild, the successor structure was not divided between Irene and Ellis, and as the Korean branch grew, it easily collaborated with Victoria Academy, and established a global presence with information about pandemic terrorism and monsters from hell.

It was all related to Lee Ho-yeon.

[In the interview with wizard Lee Ho-yeon, he warned not only about Carkus but also about the possibility of the emergence of new demons… .]

“So what on earth is a devil?…”

People were frightened by a new threat called the devil.

It is human nature to be afraid of the unknown, so it is natural.

But Ellis had no time to be afraid.

As the successor to the Iris Guild, I must remain calm in times like these.

That’s why I researched the devil.

I checked the video of the battle between Karkus and Hoyeon Lee, and also understood that the creature was called a ‘demon’.

So, what the heck is the devil?

Ellis furrowed his eyebrows in frustration.

There was information that Lee Ho-yeon told me, but it was not concrete.

As an information guild, Iris Guild could not just make nonsense.

“Sister. There’s no news that a new demon has been discovered, right?”

Ellis turned his head and looked at Irene.

Irene was wearing a neat blouse and skirt, crossing her legs and organizing materials.

Since Irene was organizing information about the devil at the time, Irene naturally took out a document and came next to Ellis.

“Yes. But unidentified beings continue to be discovered around the gates of hell.”

Irene lined up the photos on the desk where Ellis was sitting.

These photos were very valuable because it took hundreds or thousands of drones to produce one or two usable photos.

“…Are these demons?”

Ellis looked at the photos blankly.

Horns on the head and a scary appearance.

Some had wings, and some looked like round spheres rather than humans.

In fact, it is impossible to tell from the photo alone whether this is a demon or an undiscovered monster.

I heard what the guild leader Angela said about seeing the devil in person… .

‘I feel like a herbivore facing a wild beast.’

‘Just looking at it makes me doubt my existence.’

‘It gives off a different vibe from a monster.’

Well, if you hear something like this, you have to feel it properly.

In times like this, it would be nice if Ho-yeon Lee could help out… .

“Our Ellis, is something troubling you?”

Irene looked at Ellis and smiled warmly.

She could sympathize with the discomfort she felt just by looking at her sister’s expression.

“That’s because it’s absurd. If you’re all better, shouldn’t you come to France and help us with our work?”

“Huh? You mean the guild leader?”

Irene answered as she organized the photos around the Gates of Hell.

“Not Dad, Ho-yeon Lee. I told her to keep in touch with me a lot, but she only contacts me when there’s work or when she needs to. Just like you said, she’s very comfortable with us.”

“Is that so? Hmm. But he asks how I’m doing every day. He even said he would grant my wish later…..”

Irene’s last words were muttered, lowering her voice, but of course Ellis, who was right next to her, could hear them.

“Haaa… uh, uh….”

It gives me a headache to see my sister like that.

Even though she was weak towards herself until now, she was smart when it came to the guild. Why did she end up like that?

Is this also Lee Ho-yeon’s work?

[The existence of a devil that is heating up the whole world. The public is waiting for the wizards to finish their research. In some places, a religion called Satanism appeared. There is a demon behind it… .]

At that time, the news anchor delivered another news.

The quiet demons began to move.

Although it was information she already knew, Ellis narrowed her brows and opened her mouth.

“… Sister. Did you have information about those demons?”

“I think Team 3 leader reported the information about the demons who have recently begun to gather again. I will look for it, so can you wait a moment?”

Ellis remembers that Lee Ho-yeon was particularly sensitive to information about demons.

‘If you only contact me publicly, I can take matters into my own hands.’

This is not all information about Mine.

Abnormal phenomena and new materials that have occurred recently.

If you tell this to Lee Ho-yeon, she will like it.

If you take this to Korea and ask them to only contact you when you have work to do, the look on their face would be quite impressive.

As she looked through the documents together with Irene, Ellis smiled.

Life is a series of nights when you don’t want to sleep and mornings when you want to sleep.

Just like what I heard somewhere, I barely got out of bed today.

After showing Rebecca my husband’s abilities last night and setting the family straight, it’s time to get to work outside.

The second day after returning to Korea.

Hoyeon Lee headed to Lim Sol’s lab around lunch time.

Originally, I was supposed to meet Lim Sol in the United States, but I couldn’t because I didn’t have time.

“The academy is really quiet.”

Walking through the quiet academy felt oddly familiar.

These days, I’ve rarely seen a noisy academy.

Most of the cadets are probably fighting monsters in the field.

Because catching the monster itself became a test.

I walked absentmindedly and entered Lim Sol’s laboratory on the second floor of the Magic Hall.

Im Sol was concentrating on her magic research today as well, and as soon as their eyes met, she smiled happily and grabbed Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.

“I’m here at the right time. I wanted to spar with you, which I wasn’t able to do in the US.”

“Didn’t you ask me to help you with Carkus’ research today?”

“There are some studies that can only be gained from actual practice.”

“What is that….”

And as soon as I met Im Sol, I was taken to the sparring hall.

No matter how much she insisted that she was a patient, Im Sol did not treat her like Baek A-young.

“No, Sol. Let’s stop now….”

“Then should this be enough for today?”

The sparring itself was forced, but fortunately, it seems that they took into account the fact that Lee Ho-yeon had recently been discharged from the hospital.

It was difficult to immediately write about predicting the future or opening one’s eyes, and Im Sol also did not show his sincerity.

After the sudden sparring, I immediately went into recovery.

It was truly an impressive process.

“How did you use it to distract the magic a little while ago? My magic was clearly complete… but it felt like it was disappearing instead of reversing?”

“It’s a magic I’ve been thinking about for a while. I thought it would be easier to deal with the magic of hell by eliminating it rather than recalculating it.”

“Sure… it takes a long time to calculate the magical power of hell. If humanoid demons use magic later….”

Imsol thought to himself and nodded.

It was very easy to talk to a genius because he understood just this much.

Hoyeon Lee confidently put out her shoulder and continued speaking.

“I also decided on a magic name.”

“really?”

“Yes. ‘Eraser.’ It means erasing magical power.”

“Eraser….”

After hearing the name, Imsol nodded and continued speaking.

“I’ve heard of it. You think you’re cool, but people around you think you’re strange. You say it’s a middle school disease? I heard it’s a big deal at Victoria Academy middle school.”

“….”

“I’m kidding. There’s no way our student is a second-year middle school student.”

Imsol immediately smiled and offered hot chocolate, but Imsol never jokes about magic, even if it is in other fields.

‘… Is it that bad? ‘I don’t think it’s that bad.’

Hoyeon Lee sipped the hot chocolate given to her by Imsol.

Fortunately, it seemed like it was really a joke and the conversation immediately moved on to another topic.

“Would studying Carkus’ body be helpful in dealing with other demons?”

“Of course. Even though they are different species, demons are creatures that specialize in the magic of hell.”

“Then what is the difference between a demon and a monster? I heard that Karkus has almost no intelligence.”

“… Isn’t this a philosophical question?”

Time passed quickly as we discussed the devil and the magic of hell.

In fact, Lee Ho-yeon did not fully understand the existence of the devil.

I’ve killed a lot of demons in the game, but I don’t usually analyze enemy corpses in game games.

All Lee Ho-yeon knows is how to deal with them comfortably.

‘But I can’t tell you how to deal with demons whose identities have not yet been revealed.’

sniffling-

I poured almost all of the hot chocolate into my mouth.

As I watched the kettle rattle and fill the cup with hot chocolate, Imsol continued speaking.

“There is something I realized while studying the heart of Carkus, about the way to spread the magic of hell through the body….”

Time passed quickly as I listened to Lim Sol’s words with the sweetness spreading in my mouth.

As we continued our conversation, we ended up chatting for hours.

After checking the smart watch, Hoyeon Lee slowly stood up.

“I guess I should go soon. I have something to talk about when I meet with the student council president.”

Today’s schedule was Lim Sol and Moon Su-rin.

I also wanted to meet the Lucy Rumi twins, but they said they were going abroad to hunt monsters from hell.

I told you not to do anything too dangerous, so I’ll be back soon.

“… Are you going already? The sun hasn’t even set yet.”

Imsol’s eyes are staring at me.

You can tell her intentions just by making eye contact.

‘You’re asking for sugar supplementation.’

But there is no use even if you give me a faint look.

From now on, I have to meet Su-rin Moon and think about how to move forward.

Sister Surin said she would tell me about the recent trends of the demons.

I was anxious about what the quiet maestro was doing.

“Professor. You should focus on Carkus research now.”

“Is this the only time you’re a professor?”

“Sol. I’ll come again next time. I have work to do now.”

“Whew… I understand. It’s a promise to our students, so I have to believe it.”

Imsol could not hide his regret, but he soon nodded in understanding.

Carcus’s research was a major topic that would turn the academic world upside down.

Imsol probably knows what he needs to focus on right now.

“Ugh. It’s coming really soon.”

Ho-yeon Lee gently stroked Im Sol’s face as she stuck out her lips.

I tickled him under the chin like he was handling a cat and he pulled his face away in disgust, which was also cute.

“… What are you doing? I feel bad.”

“The reaction is interesting. Shall we hang out a little more?”

“Just get out!”

As Imsol frowned, the kettle that was boiling hot chocolate rose into the sky.

How hot would it be if you got hit by that?

Hoyeon Lee left the lab as if running away.
