Episode 136

After that, Lena roughly sorted out the situation and immediately called her teacher and explained the situation.

“I finally got caught….”

“I’m sorry… sir.”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t know if it was someone else, but Hyun was going to tell me sooner or later.”

The teacher, who had been looking at Lena with her head bowed, turned his gaze to me with an expression that said nothing was wrong.

“Did you already know? That kid is Showmaker.”

“I was expecting it to some extent, even if I wasn’t sure.”

“Or maybe in the future that kid will be known as Showmaker?”

Actually, both statements were correct.

Even if I didn’t know the game’s story, if I had the knowledge of a 2nd-level magician, I would have quickly realized that Lena was far from an ordinary student.

“That’s true too.”

“That guy got his act together… .”

Although the Master’s gaze was quite harsh, I tried to ignore it and told him why I had revealed her identity.

“Master. How about having Lena take the 3rd-grade magic engineer exam while we’re at it?”

“What does that mean?”

“Since the time she started school, questions about Lena have been constantly forming in the academic world.”

The title of top student of the Magic Engineering Department at Seoul National School of Magic brings a lot of attention.

When Lena, who had never even attended a proper academy when she entered school, took first place with overwhelming grades, there was a lot of talk about it.

‘There are quite a few rumors going around, starting with whether she is a secret weapon that has been carefully nurtured by a company or organization, and going so far as to question whether she is a girl from a rich family who obtained the top position through lobbying despite having no skills.’

The suspicion that it was Showmaker had not spread yet, but considering the content of the game, it would not be strange if it led to that at some point.

“It would be much better to make the name Lena known more widely, rather than continuing to hide it and create suspicion.”

Showmaker is a magician with skills comparable to those of a master magician, and he is attracting a lot of attention.

Naturally, it was a name that was also a threat to one’s safety.

Therefore, if Lena takes the 3rd-grade magic engineer exam and actively engages in magic engineer activities, she will receive attention from the public as a ‘promising genius magic engineer with a bright future.’

‘Of course, if you get a 3rd class magician’s license at 17, you’ll get a lot of attention, but it won’t be on the same level as the attention Showmaker gets.’

Besides, even if you get a 3rd class magician license, the reaction won’t be as big as you might think because there’s already a precedent in this country.

“You’re talking about diverting the public’s attention.”

“Yes. It’s better to reveal something than to hide it, to avoid suspicion.”

If everything goes as planned, it could partially, if not completely, solve one of the problems that had been plaguing Iris.

Because Showmaker’s personal safety was always a headache for Iris.

“How is it?”

“It’s not a bad idea… but I’d like to ask Lena about her opinion as well.”

In fact, the teacher may have thought about this too.

It’s not that difficult of an idea.

The real problem wasn’t with this plan, but with Lena herself.

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

The Master looked at Lena with an extremely serious expression, and a worried expression appeared in his eyes.

Perhaps this has something to do with Lena’s past.

Lena, who had been lost in thought for a moment, soon raised her head.

“I have to… I don’t want to live like I did before. I’ve decided to change.”

The reason she, who had been a hikikomori who only made artifacts in the corner of her room, entered Seoul National Magic School was because she hated herself for being like that.

‘Lena has the will to change.’

Although it was only a short moment, Lena grew considerably through interacting with many people over the past few months.

And now, this moment was the moment for her to take a step forward.

“Sir, please let me take the 3rd level magic engineer exam.”

The teacher’s expression softened at the sight of Lena’s determined will, and he stood up from his seat and spoke.

“I’ll be waiting.”

Lena nodded, her expression brightening.

“yes!”

* * *

After successfully convincing Lena, what I did the next day was… .

‘I need to settle the account.’

It was to settle accounts for the previous incident.

[Clear the main scenario “Spiral Chain Terror Incident”]

[Reward: SSS-grade material ‘Yeouiju’ and many other SS-grade materials.]

‘Yeouiju, you are in Gyeongju at my request, and the rest is in my hands now.’

My face brightened up as I looked at the five ingredients that filled my desk.

[Neohart’s Ore (SS Grade)]

[Fragment of the White Porcelain Incense Burner of Yeo-ui (SS Grade)]

[Basilisk Tooth Powder (SS Grade)]

[Torn Wings of the Dark Fairy (SS Grade)]

[Nolbu’s Yut (SS Grade)]

Two light attributes, two dark attributes, and one fire attribute.

I was a little dissatisfied that materials with various attributes came out differently than before, but there was nothing to complain about.

‘You can’t check the status window. You have to eat whatever is given to you.’

Still, these are all SS-grade materials.

You need to enter at least an A-class gate to obtain these materials.

Actually, I wanted to make an SSS-class artifact using Yeouiju, but I decided to give up on that.

‘Unfortunately, I still can’t make a SSS-class.’

There have been so many incidents recently that I haven’t had time to invest in studying magic engineering.

Of course, I studied and made a lot from time to time, but that wasn’t enough to break through the wall of a first-class magician.

‘I need to take some time and study hard about magic engineering.’

Of course, what I needed was production rather than studying, but it wasn’t like I didn’t have to study at all.

In this world, there were many magical formulas and production methods that were not revealed in the original work.

‘Should we try to solve these things first?’

This incident was not completely free of leeway, as no major battle was expected to occur.

How you use that extra time will determine the outcome of your future plans.

With that thought in mind, I lifted the tool without stopping.

“Haam… .”

Perhaps because he came to school early in the morning, he yawned long and expressed his fatigue.

Thanks to being a hunter, my body isn’t tired, but my mind is relatively tired.

Maybe that’s why Hyeolhwa looked at me with a questioning expression.

“What’s going on? You volunteered to help with the patrols.”

Hyeolhwa, wearing the student council armband, looked at me while organizing her school uniform.

He answered while checking the sales.

“If violence breaks out here, it’s going to be a really big deal.”

At a time when even one person was lacking, a talented person like me could not sit still.

‘That’s actually a lie. It’ll probably happen today.’

In the original, an incident occurred at exactly 12:30 PM today that poured oil on the fire.

If it weren’t for that incident, I wouldn’t have helped out with the student council work that I wasn’t even asked to do.

I’d rather be making artifacts at that time.

“Something happened?”

“You’re quick-witted. Normally, the incident would have happened around lunchtime today, but I don’t know how it could change. I’ll have to try harder.”

There was a reason I left early in the morning even though the incident was going to happen at lunchtime.

Moreover, in order to suppress incidents on campus by force, I needed to have this armband officially certified by the student council, which was also the reason I joined the patrol today.

“I don’t think anything will happen in the morning. The Magic Engineering Department kids and the Hunter Department kids have different school hours, right?”

The reason why the students of the Department of Magic Engineering and the Department of Hunting have different school hours is because the regular class hours for students of the Department of Magic Engineering are longer.

In addition, since students in the Department of Magic Engineering often worked late into the night in their personal workshops, delaying the start of school was a consideration on the school’s part.

“But you never know, there are also students from the Magic Engineering Department who wake up early in the morning and go into their personal studios.”

Although I wasn’t giving it my all, I was watching the students seriously, at least during this time when there were a lot of people.

While school attendance is proceeding without any problems.

An ominous message came over the radio.

―This is Second C, Main Building A―There was a fight between students in Area 13. Please assist.

At the sudden sound of the radio, I immediately picked up the radio and activated communication.

-This is First A, I will apply right away.

At the same time, we ran straight to the main building’s A-13 section without saying a word.

Fortunately, we were able to arrive at the scene fairly quickly, as it was less than a minute away.

“Stop it. This is the student council. Stop fighting now…”

“This kid!”

“That crazy guy? Did he hit you?”

I wanted to continue speaking, but the scene was already a mess.

Fortunately, looking at the structure of the fight, it seemed like it wasn’t a fight between students from the Magic Engineering Department and students from the Hunter Department, but rather a fight between students from the Hunter Department.

“Seniors, if you keep doing this, I will suppress you.”

He took out the sword and gave a warning.

Looking at the two D-class, five C-class, and two B-class hunters, they were second-year seniors.

Of course, it was not our opponent.

[Plum Blossom Stream 6, Plum Blossom Immortal Dance]

He turned his sword and struck the stomachs of exactly six people with the back of his sword.

In the meantime, Hyeolhwado also subdued about three people.

“Cough.”

“Ugh.”

I couldn’t help but sigh as I watched the students collapse like extras, but I went over and started to deal with the aftermath.

* * *

Let me briefly explain the incident.

Surprisingly, the story started with a story related to magic engineering.

There were divided opinions even in the Hunter College regarding the story of looking down on students from the Magic Engineering College.

The fight between these two also escalated into violence after an excessive argument due to differences in opinions, one saying that the Hunter College was at fault and the other that the Magic Engineering College was sensitive.

“It’s more serious than I thought. I didn’t think the Hunter College would fight over this story.”

In fact, this situation was even more dangerous.

Fights between students in the Hunter College and the Magic Engineering College rarely escalate into violence because each side understands the other’s position, but fights between students in the Hunter College often escalate into violence.

“Is this your first time?”

“Yeah. This is the first time. Is this the big incident you were talking about?”

“No, you’re wrong, my situation is a bit more serious.”

“That’s scary….”

If we had not intervened quickly just now, there would have been great damage.

Since this wasn’t in the original, my mind became complicated.

‘It won’t be easy today.’

―This is First D, A Research Institute Building 23 Area. There’s a fight going on. Please assist!

-This is Second A, Gym 1 D-A battle broke out in Area 5.

-This is Second D, a fight broke out in front of the main gate of the old building.

A strong intuition suddenly came to my mind at the sound of the radio.

“Hwa-ya.”

“That’s right. This is… Someone is intentionally causing trouble.”

It was the beginning of a completely new development.
