ââââ!
The sound of crying under the black hole.
My lungs were sore from stress when I saw the man screaming in anger, let alone in pain, after falling tens of kilometers below.
âThis is how I am betrayedâ¦â¦.â
He said he was a bit of an S-class monster, but this is enough to be classified as an SS-class monster just by looking at the prowess he has shown so far.
To some extent, I understood why the hunters ran away.
âTsut.â
I rummaged around the inside of my armor, took out a pack of cigarettes, put one of the three pieces in my mouth, and flicked my finger.
Snap!
The permeated smoke pierced the inside of my lungs, and the pain felt before was soothed a little bit.
Other pain reduces the usual pain. It was my body, but this was a scene I didnât understand every time I saw it.
âSpell power is all like that.â
When he keeps smoking, ignoring the cries coming from below. Someoneâs footsteps were heard from the back.
Crack!
And the cigarette I was holding in my mouth froze.
ââ¦â¦I hate ice cookies except for ice cream.â
âI donât think itâs time to make such a bad joke.â
It is a voice that gives me a chill just by listening. This is not just an illusion, but a spell power that really flows out of her which is lowering the temperature around her.
âLetâs save some spell power. Weâll have a lot of work to do soon.â
When I spat out a cigarette in my mouth and bit a new cigarette, Wilhelmina, a white-haired woman who came next to me, snatched it roughly.
âItâs not dripping, itâs overflowing. And Iâm sure I told you.â
snap!
âI said itâs not the time to do such a clumsy thing.â
At the sight of Wilhelmina, who broke the cigarette she had snatched, I touched my lips. I only burned half, but two cigarettes flew away and there was only one left.
I feel like Iâm getting more stressed out while relieving stress.
âI told you to drag time until Kim Jin-hyuk comes back. What more should I do? Do you want me to go to the front and fight?â
âStop it. Youâll die very quick.â
I looked at her frowning at Wilhelminaâs cold response that says to me not to say useless things.
âThen what do you want me to do? I did everything I had to doâ¦â¦.â
âFor now, you are a conductor and you have to keep your positionâ¦â¦.â
Wilhelmina frowned and soon sighed.
âThatâs enough. Itâs not that the morale of the squad will rise just because youâre in commandâ¦â¦.â
âThen go away. I just wasted my cigaretteâ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦.â
When I waved, Wilhelmina hesitated for a moment and asked in a slightly shaky voice.
âReallyâ¦â¦ Can we win when Godâs sword comes back?â
Her voice seems to be hoping for confidence in the operation. I looked slightly surprised at the question, which contrasted with her usual cold self.
She seems to have been on edge for no reason because her morale dropped after saying about it.
âSheâs over thirty, and what she does is a baby.â
When I think sheâs a child, my stress subsides. I smiled at the sight of Wilhelmina asking for an answer.
âWeâll win. Itâs Godâs sword.â
ââ¦â¦thatâs good,â Wilhelmina turned around as if she didnât like my smile, and just then the magic square was completed and threw her body under the hole.
And the moment a huge silver pillar rose from the inside.
Crack-
The cry froze.
* * *
ââ¦â¦.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked down at Wilhelmina, a young girl holding Heinzâs robe tightly with one hand.
Meeting with her has been planned for a long time, but I never expected to meet her at this time.
âNo, we couldâve met, butâ¦â¦.â
As far as I know, Wilhelmina will attend the Round Academy until this year and transfer to Sungjin Military Academy next year.
This is because she was trying to find a way to control her unique skills and became a disciple to learn properly and get help from Ban Hye-young.
Kang Yoo-sik had been preparing little by little for the upcoming Wilhelmina next year, but he met her unexpectedly today.
âBut what⦠does it matter?â
I was embarrassed, but in the end, my goal is to create a debt relationship with Wilhelmina and take her talent and skills.
In a sense, it may be more beneficial to meet her half a year earlier. Thinking so, Kang Yoo-sik looked at Wilhelmina.
âHmm⦠Hi?â
ââ¦â¦.â
His greeting shook Wilhelminaâs body, and she hides her barely-out body half way behind Heinz again.
He looked like a wary child, and Kang Yoo-sik had a strange look on his face.
âThatâs weird. Wasnât she 16 at the time?â
Though younger than him, she is not young enough to show such a youthful appearance or behavior.
When Kang Yoo-sik is wondering about a situation that he has never heard of before returning. Wilhelminaâs mouth slowly opened.
âGo awayâBone.â
ââ¦â¦what?â
Why does she call me a bone when I have so much fat? When Kang Yoo-sik is looking at her with a puzzled expression.
âHuhâ¦.â
Heinz looked at Kang Yoo-sik with a slight look of admiration.
âYou said you were in the first grade?â
âYes? yes.â
âHuh⦠Youâre in the first grade, and you are a bone.⦠this isâ¦â¦â¦.â
Heinz, surprised by the word bone, and still shy Wilhelmina. And Kang Yoo-sik looked embarrassed at Ban Hye-youngâs satisfactory smile in the back.
âWell, I think sheâs still shy, so letâs talk tomorrow. Itâs not urgent, is it?â
When asked by Ban Hye-young, Heinz looked down at Wilhelmina hidden behind his back again and smiled bitterly.
âweâd better do that today. Are you going back right away?â
âSince weâre here, we should just look around. Oh, you donât have to send people to us. I know everywhere anyway.â
âOkay, Iâve told them beforehand, so youâll just have to go around.â
After finishing the story, Heinz turned his head and smiled at Kang Yoo-sik.
âWeâll have a proper conversation tomorrow. I look forward to your kind cooperation.â
âOh, yes⦠I see.â
âThen Iâll see you next time.â
Heinz, who patted Kang Yoo-sik on the shoulder, turned around, and Wilhelmina, who hid her body tactfully, glanced and disappeared.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young with a strange look on his face as the two suddenly appeared and left.
âWhatâs going on?â
âIâll explain it to you gradually. Come with me.â
Ban Hye-young, who smirked, grabbed Kang Yoo-sikâs arm and moved to the left side of the main building without entering the main gate.
âYou know the composition of the Round Academy, donât you?â
âYes, well, roughlyâ¦â¦?â
The Round Academy is divided into two schools, Knight College and Mage College, and is a four-year course.
The curriculum is one year longer than Sungjin Military Academy, but it usually had to be seen as two to three years because skipping grade is allowed here.
âThe girl Wilhelmina earlier. Itâs her first year in college, and sheâs already in fourth grade.â
ââ¦â¦what?â
Ban Hye-young smirked as Kang Yoo-sik looked at her with a surprised look.
âItâs like a lie, right?â
âTo be honest with you, yes. She looked incredibly youngâ¦â¦.â
âOh, sheâs older than you think. Sheâs 16 years old this year.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked slightly surprised at Ban Hye-youngâs answer.
He wondered if the information he knew was wrong, but she was actually 16 years old.
âSo whatâs going on?â
When Kang Yoo-sik made a curious look, Ban Hye-young pondered for a while and immediately shrugged.
âWell, I can tell you. She looks so young because of her unique skill.â
âUnique skill?â
âYes, itâs a unique skill called Frozen, and itâs out of control right now, so sheâs slowed her growth.â
âOhâ¦â¦â
Kang Yoo-sik exclaimed at Ban Hye-youngâs explanation.
Unique Skill Frozen.
As you can tell by the name, this was a skill that led Wilhelmina to receive the name Frost Witch.
Unlike its popularity, Wilhelminaâs proper effect was not known because she avoided mentioning it, but one of the things that was revealed was the prevention of aging.
âShe was over forty and still looked like she was in her early 20sâ¦â¦.â
At that time, it was known that her aging slowed down, but I didnât know that she would have slowed down the growth itself.
âBy the time she was 20 years old, she looked like she was in her late teensâ¦â¦ Did she grow up by controlling her unique skills?â
When Kang Yoo-sik nodded, who understood roughly what the situation was, Ban Hye-young continued.
âSo she was trying to figure out a way to control itâ¦â¦the way has opened recently.â
âAre you sure?â
âYes, they havenât proved it yet, so theyâre saving their words, but this is actually confirmed.â
They havenât proved yet. Kang Yoo-sik understood what it was and soon looked at her with a surprised look.
âIs itâ¦â¦.â
âYes, thanks to the things you taught me.â
At Ban Hye-youngâs nodding head, Kang Yoo-sik understood why Heinz made him meet Wilhelmina and why he came to England so early.
âIt wasnât until next year that she found a clue to control her unique skillsâ¦â¦ Did I make it a big step forward this time?â
Even though it was a clue at the time, this time, it was only a thesis through a paper, so this is as good as Iâve already found it.
Kang Yoo-sik looked strange when he realized that he had unintentionally created a foothold to accelerate Wilhelminaâs growth.
âIsnât this a lot easier than I think?â
It may be troublesome if Ban Hye-young did it all with her own credit, but like she responded earlier, she seemed to have already said it was thanks to me.
In other words, if Wilhelmina benefits from the control method, a debt relationship could be created immediately.
ââ¦â¦not bad.â
I thought it would be hard because Wilhelminaâs personality I saw before returning was very harsh, but this makes things easier.
When Kang Yoo-sik smiled, Ban Hye-young also laughed.
âI think thatâs why he was interested in you, but he wanted to talk to you because youâre going to the finals this time. Heinz asked us to come early.â
âThatâs why weâre here early.â
âYes, I thought it would be nice if we looked around. Because you also had a hard time making magic formulas.â
Ban Hye-young pats him on the shoulder and smiles. Kang Yoo-sik smiled face to face at the sight.
âThank you.â
âNo problem. You will have a hard time during the summer vacation, so I should do this for you.â
Kang Yoo-sik suddenly thought of one thing while smiling at Ban Hye-young, who turned her head with a questionable expression.
âWhat does that bone mean? The head of magic and you were all surprised.â
âOh, she can see spell power in great detail, so she judges people according to the level of magic. So she doesnât call people if itâs below the level.â
ââ¦â¦Is that so?â
âYes, the worst is the single cell. The best is the wizard, and thatâs me.â
Ban Hye-young has a confident expression. It may be wondered why it is so great to be recognized by a child, but Kang Yoo-sik, who knows the future, nodded his head.
âThere was a reason Wilhelmina didnât call the others wizards.â
Although she didnât blame anyone calling single-cell or bone, Wilhelmina did not call them a wizard unless she admitted it.
I thought she was arrogant at the time, but it was the standard of Ban Hye-young. It was also understandable that she did not call a wizard.
âThen how much is the bone?â
âAbout mid-sized? On average, itâs a B-class wizard whoâs been in active service for more than 10 years.â
B-class wizard with more than 10 years of experience. The first-year student, who has no experience yet, has received such an evaluation, so they had no choice but to admire it.
âWell, my actual experience is over 20 yearsâ¦â¦.â
This is called an experienced newcomer. When Kang Yoo-sik has such a silly thought.
âOh, weâre here. Look.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Kang Yoo-sik looked up at Ban Hye-youngâs call, and soon saw a huge battle hall where hundreds of people were competing.
âThis is the great battle hall. Itâs a symbol of Knight College.â
On the surface, it looked like a big Battle Hall without any facilities, but it also changed if you look closely like the castle wall.
A huge flag standing on the platform of Battle Hall. It had a red dragonâs emblem painted on a white background, from which a special spell power flows around the entire Battle Hall.
âIs that Drakeâs blessing?â
This prevents injuries in the area, supports the will, and speeds up growth, which was equivalent to the leader of Nam Gung-ryun.
âIt looks different in personâ¦â¦.â
When Kang Yoo-sik looked at Drakeâs blessing with a curious look, Ban Hye-young smiled.
âKnight college has nothing to watch besides this. Look at how this works. It will be fun to see it resonate with other flags around it.â
âYes, itâs quite fascinating.â
As Kang Yoo-sik was looking at Drakeâs blessing in Battle Hall, his eyes naturally turned to the students inside.
âAnd now that I see it, is there anyone here that I can take?â
I donât know if there will be a chance, but he wanted to take one if possible.
Kang Yoo-sik looked over the students who were training at the Battle Hall, and soon a man was seen.
A young man with purple hair and wearing silver armor with a red pattern that catches the eye.
(Rebel Knight) (Estimated catastrophic Devil Moss Durac) (Half-destroyed Round Academy)
In a different sense, it was a big man.[
