‘Well, how are you, Aleister?’

    Chun Yu-hwa, who accepted the outcome of the game, exited with a satisfied smile.

    Now, I am the only cadet left on the field, in the sight of all the spectators in the stadium and viewers watching Eden’s sports competition from around the world.

    And of course, Odd Spartium approached me to hear what the winner said.

    “Congratulations on winning. Cadet Seong Yu-jin.”

    “Yes. Thank you.”

    However, as if to say that this was only a formal greeting, his expression changed quite amusingly.

    Now that you’ve brought out Gungnir, what are you planning to do now?

    As I laughed off his gaze as if he was asking that question, another question came to me.

    “Since you won, let me ask you again.”

    Before the finals began, Odd Spartium once again asked the question I had put off answering.

    “Cadet Yujin Seong. What did you come up to here for?”

    The enthusiastic crowd fell silent, and the heated atmosphere warmed my body.

    Everyone here, including Odd Spartium who asked me this question, is waiting for my answer.

    I smiled, clearly aware of that fact.

    No, he smiled brightly. Because I finally achieved my goal.

    “To meet a magician.”

    magician.

    A general term for people who practice magic, and has now come to refer to a single lineage.

    However, there was originally a person who monopolized this comprehensive noun as his own title.

    “Vice President. As far as I know, I heard that the winner has one right to wish.”

    When I open my mouth, Odd Spartium nods in the affirmative.

    “That’s right. Top-tier artifacts and elixirs, excellent non-tier equipment and connections, etc… The winner has the right to ask for just one thing.”

    I curled up the corners of my mouth, pleased with his expression that seemed to ask me what I would choose.

    As the corner of my mouth curled up, the blade of the imitation Gungnir spear held by my arm and the hand at the end of my arm pointed to a place in the audience.

    “… Hoo.”

    Odd Spartium narrows the corners of his eyes and utters his voice.

    My eyes were no longer on him.

    From now on, the right I will exercise as the rightful winner has become the duty of the person who looks at me at the end of the spear, not Odd Spartium, to listen to.

    “ Current president and first president of the World Hunter Association.”

    Gradually, a murmur began to grow in size among the crowd.

    The gaze that was once focused on me, follows my gaze and the trajectory of the window, and then focuses on a man sitting somewhere in the audience.

    “Aleister Crowley.”

    When his name was called, he also smiled happily and slowly got up from where he was sitting.

    “I will exercise the winner’s rights.”

    Finally, the murmur became one commotion and rose up violently.

    The excitement of the finals was revived, mixing with the commotion that had begun to flare up anew.

    “The first magician who existed before the cataclysm came.”

    Magical power blooms from Aleister’s body.

    As befits the name of the oldest magician, the magic power is as vast and heavy as the years he has accumulated.

    Because he has become the greatest magician, his current reputation exudes a majesty that can sustain the World Hunter Association.

    At him, a mere freshman from Eden points a spear and unleashes magical power.

    “Please come down.”

    As much as he wants to see something from me.

    “The president of the World Hunter Association and a new student from Eden… No, the top student selected by Othinus.”

    Because there was something I wanted to see from him too.

    “I think the qualifications are sufficient.”

    Othinus vouched for my qualifications, and I proved that I had the skills to match those qualifications through the results of the sports competition.

    “Let’s take off the rank insignia and have a fight.”

    It was my exciting challenge, and the winner’s right to wish, which no one could have imagined, was activated.

    #

    “Ha, haha… !”

    In a section of the stadium that had a very different atmosphere from other audience seats, Aleister, sitting in a seat with a different atmosphere, laughed, covering the corner of his mouth with his palm.

    The head of the table.

    The magician is delighted to see the ambitious winner who challenged him in a way that even he, who has lived for hundreds of years, could never have expected.

    Aleister Crowley.

    A magician who has been wandering around the world, mainly Europe, since before the cataclysm, collecting mysteries that have been weathered and chipped away over the years, is excited.

    It is a bold challenge from a junior. It was a job he was happy to do as a magician, but what Aleister focused on was not the sameness or recognition of his seniors and juniors.

    Riftrasir, who had been searching for it, challenged him with the ‘most innocent gold’ he had longed for.

    The first Ragnarok was suppressed, and a pair of blessings left behind by Yggdrasil in preparation for the apocalypse that will come again in future generations.

    The female body of Leaf and the male body of Riftrasir have been guarded against because they are dangerous forces.

    ‘I somehow found out about Rift as soon as he was born, but for some reason I couldn’t find Riftrasir.’

    Therefore, in order to obtain it more easily, Leaf planted the most perfect apocalypse at birth and deceived Yggdrasil’s protection under the name of ‘illusion killing’.

    Liftrasir was only recently discovered through Coronzon.

    ‘Leaf… So, did you say Cheon Yu-hwa?’

    I thought it would collapse soon. By now, he should have gradually become a vessel of the apocalypse, submerged in all kinds of negative thoughts… She’s finer than you think.

    No, it goes beyond the normal level and handles the most perfect apocalypse planted in the name of illusion killing as if it were its own power.

    As of today, it has even ignited a purple flame.

    ‘Fatal error not included in the plan… And I guess the cause is that guy.’

    Aleister’s gaze turned to Seong Yu-jin, who proudly pointed his spear at him.

    As their eyes met, Aleister felt a slight chill.

    Intuition close to foresight. There was no solid physical evidence or circumstances at all, but I had a feeling that this was definitely the case.

    All of the cadet’s actions that disrupted the plan were a huge piece of work done under thorough calculation.

    ‘… He’s a flashy guy.’

    For over twenty years, he has been avoiding the eyes of Coronzon and Aworth, including Aleister himself.

    Moreover, as a student of Eden, his skills and courage are outstanding enough to take the title of winner and exercise his right.

    Above all, the spear that Seong Yu-jin held in his hand was the biggest variable.

    ‘Was everything a plan to rip me out?’

    Aleister, who saw through that fact, exploded with magical power from his raised body.

    Earth since before the cataclysm… The man’s magic power, which the current high-ranking beings have gathered and swallowed up in this way, the mysteries and remaining magic power of the mythical era that remained throughout Burgil Midgard, forms a huge force and takes control of Seong Yu-jin’s magic power.

    As time passes and practice continues, human magic and spiritual power are drawn to a higher level.

    His power, which was created based on Kabbalah, a traditional Jewish mystical ideology, and which he established as a path that humans should walk, weighs down on Seong Yu-jin.

    As if testing his sincerity to see if he would really challenge me.

    And the next moment.

    “I think the qualifications are sufficient.”

    His mouth opened, and for a moment the force was pulled and scattered in all directions.

    At first glance, it seemed as if he was declaring to other spectators and people from all over the world who were currently watching this location on TV that ‘the exercise of one’s right to wish was justified.’

    ‘As expected, he’s not an ordinary guy.’

    The greatest magician in the world noticed that the true intention was a warning to Aleister himself, who overtook him by immediately revealing his magical power and spiritual power.

    “Let’s take off the rank insignia and have a fight.”

    A provocative smile appears at the corner of Seong Yu-jin’s mouth, and he stabs the imperfect spear in his hand into the air again.

    Aleister Crowley walks onto the pitch, finding the sight ridiculous but interesting.

    To admonish the fearless magician who dared to challenge him, and at the same time, to more reliably face the dangers of someday.

    “Good. However, if the game is played without any motivation, the enthusiasm of the audience will be less than before.”

    And if my judgment is right, I plan to keep the leash on more securely.

    Aleister thought so and raised his index finger to suggest one thing.

    They set a trap like a snare under the pretext that the right was too valuable to be satisfied with just a sparring match.

    “If you show a good performance, I will put my name and position on the line and appoint you to an important position in the World Hunter Association.”

    Aleister declared with a friendly and kind smile on the outside, but a dark, distorted smile on the inside.

    No matter how long and long Riftrasir can fly, in the end it is just a fledgling that has not lived for less than a hundred years.

    It may seem like a plan was made to increase the game, but it actually became a hindrance.

    So, I will keep it as close as possible so that I can no longer proceed with my next plan.

    ‘It’s the perfect plan.’

    Although it was a little annoying, it was a golden opportunity to understand their power, and if you persuade them well and win them over, you can easily build a relationship suitable for achieving your goals.

    The greatest magician in mankind truly thought that way and smiled darkly.

    In the end, Seong Yu-jin, I am confident that you lost the battle of wits with me.

    He just smiled.
