Chapter 171 – Chapter 43. Recruitment Rush.
Jihyeok enrolled Sally in the Hero Academy. Rather than getting a letter of recommendation through an expedient way, she just got a letter of recommendation from the academy with excellent grades and was able to qualify for the Hero exam.
Baragi Sally, her teacher, held the hand of her teacher, Kang Ji-hyeok, before entering the academy, and her eyes blushed slightly. It must be because it is not easy for her to come out once she enters the school.
“I go see you often.”
“… Yes, master I will definitely graduate with good grades.”
“Okay. Don’t believe … And.”
Jihyeok held Sally tightly in her arms.
“Don’t forget that I am always behind you. Understand?”
“Yes.”
“Okay.”
Sally left and Ji-hyeok got back on the carriage. He immediately ran towards the magic academy.
It was obvious that she would become a warrior anyway. Then she needed to find a colleague to join the pre-sale team from now on. If she finds it in a hurry, there might be a hole in it.
And Jihyeok already had the number one recruiting priority.
A magic academy, a genius assistant in the battle department, fairy Lenny.
A genius magician among geniuses who succeeded in triple casting.
A historical figure who suggested a new method for magic chanting.
… He should probably be an associate professor by now.
On her last episode, she persuaded her to eventually join her as a teammate, but there was no guarantee that this would be the case this time as well.
Lenny was very smart, but she was a bit erratic. It would be most accurate to say that she was a natural researcher. He was the type of person who couldn’t stand being curious and had to find out. Of course, she said that was the driving force behind her successful triple casting, but her honest feelings were that there were times when he was annoying because he had a bit of an excessive side.
Still, since she was a fairy born and raised on the continent, there was almost no racial discrimination. She was a person who was not particularly angular in personality.
In many ways, she is a talent that I really want to recruit, so from the moment Sally entered the academy, she planned to work hard step by step.
As I thought about this and that, the carriage soon passed through the main gate of the magic academy. Jihyeok got off at the bus stop and first went to the alchemy department located in the corner.
A celebrity who made the capital go wild came up, and the department building itself went up and down. Jihyeok went straight to the classroom where Ludbine was teaching assistant classes.
The half-witch, who had been to and fro the lecture hall until recently, had become a teaching assistant standing on the podium dressed up nicely and teaching students. Ludbine was a lively girl standing in front of Ji-hyeok, but she was a competent and proud teaching assistant in front of the students.
He carefully opened the door and entered the classroom. As soon as the class witch, who was teaching the students while looking at her book, saw Ji-hyeok sitting in the back seat of hers, she was embarrassed and chewed her tongue, making her words twisted.
“This is very comforting if you mix it up wrong… Town.”
The students lifted their heads and turned their heads to follow the assistant’s gaze.
Ah.
Suddenly, a buzzing sound was heard. The half-witch was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and patted her lectern with the palm of her hand to be quiet.
“Quiet, quiet! … I want to continue.”
Seeing this, Jihyuk smiled. After going on several expeditions where she risked her life, she showed signs of being quite an adult.
Unsurprisingly, Ludbene conducted her class more calmly than Yayel. She seemed to be more energized to think that the captain was watching her.
After the class was over, the students went out of the classroom. Of course, without forgetting to glance at the hero once in a while.
Alchemy’s top riser, half-witch Ludwigne, shrugged her shoulders. She gave one piercing look at the students piling up at her back door. Only then did the intruders disappear.
“I’m the captain—!”
The smart assistant quickly returned to being a tomboyish wizard. She was very happy about Ji-hyeok’s unexpected visit, saying, “What are you doing here?”
“I stopped by because I had something to do. … It’s just a nuisance, isn’t it?”
“Of course-! It’s a waste of money. There is no such thing as that. Lol. You can come and visit us every day!”
The half-witch twisted her body in front of the captain. She could see that she liked him. There was no way Jihyeok, who was quick-witted, would not know that.
The warrior gave out a bitter smile. I remembered how I ate this kid’s mother like a dog last night. … I slapped his butt with my palm so hard that I even left a red handprint on it, I’m sure.
“Are you a completely different person now? I would believe it even if you were a professor.”
“Ah, it’s not that tidy… , Lol.”
Jihyeok stroked his red hair. The half-witch liked it very much.
“But what are you here for?”
“There is a wizard I want to recruit.”
“Recruitment? Who are you?”
“Combat department Lenny.”
Ah-. Ludbigne clasped her palms together.
“A fairy mad with that magic—!”
“Know?”
“I know. There is no one in the magic academy who doesn’t know. It’s very famous. As an assistant that should be avoided unconditionally. The classes are difficult, and the assignments are enormous. I do it, why can’t you guys? Do any of you guys have thoughts like this? She is just such a fairy.”
It was so accurate that even Jihyeok laughed a little. What’s even funnier is that he has no malice at all when he thinks like that.
“Well, one skill is worth acknowledging.”
“Anyway, that’s why I’m here.”
“… So are you leaving right away?”
“I have to go.”
The half-witch became a bit depressed. It’s been a while since she met the captain, but she wants to break up so quickly. … What can I do though? Everyone knows that the captain is very busy.
Jihyeok stroked Ludbine’s hair again in a way that was admirable.
“Yes, work hard. Let’s meet at the mansion next time.”
“Yes, chief.”
“I have high expectations from you. You know?”
“Sure. I am doing my best.”
“Yes, great. This is our Ludwig.”
The captain smiled and said good-bye, then turned around. Ah. Ludwigne felt a strange sense of loss when he turned around.
The half-witch reached her hand toward his back. But her hand was unable to grasp anything and fell helplessly.
Seeing him leave, she promised herself that she would confess next time.
… In fact, it’s already happened a thousand times.
After leaving the alchemy department building, Jihyeok headed to the combat department building. The building was so splendid and large that it could not be compared to the alchemy department. There were a lot of students there, so the hallways were already crowded. It was a completely different landscape from the alchemy department, which was empty due to lack of popularity.
Since so many warriors or guild members visit the Department of Combat, they made a separate reception room. Still, the visit of a celebrity like Kang Ji-hyeok became a hot topic.
The department staff treated the visiting warriors with tea and asked who they would like to call.
“Call Assistant Lenny.”
“Ah, I see. Please wait a moment, Your Excellency.”
When the staff had left and the tea was half empty, a fairy came into the drawing room. He was very good at dealing with warriors, as if he had already had this experience several times.
“Nice to meet you, Your Excellency. It’s called Lenny Grape.”
“Nice to meet you. They say Kang Ji-hyeok is a warrior.”
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“Sit down.”
The fairy sat in the seat given by Jihyeok. He said as he poured tea into her cup.
“The first time I heard about you was three years ago… , So are you an associate professor now?”
“Yes, Associate Professor.”
“Congratulations. It’s a quick success.”
“Everyone is doing this. Nothing to brag about.”
Fairy Lenny lightly touched her hand.
“Anyway, I think you will know the reason why I came. You must have a lot of experience, right?”
“… Yes.”
“Well, I’m not particularly proud of myself, but I think you’ve heard my rumors. I’m not recruiting anyone. We only make recruitment offers to carefully selected talents. … And you are that person.”
Lenny also heard the rumors about Jihyeok until his ears stung. In particular, how loud was the conspiracy theory that Jihyeok was behind the Hero Kurdish incident.
A legendary warrior who will become number one after Kurdish in the future.
A genius like no other in history.
Perfect mission success rate.
Personality and virtue that are not inferior to their skills.
To be honest, Lenny wondered why such a person came to him. Objectively, she could have taken a much more experienced and skilled mage than her champion.
It felt good, but it was burdensome. And the fairy was not very interested in the risky expedition in the first place.
… However, there was one thing that seduced her so intensely that she immediately rejected her.
Yayel, a genius associate professor in the Department of Theory.
Everyone she knew was a member of Kang Ji-hyeok’s team. And that she is a great genius who succeeded in double casting…
Double casting.
The theory that Lenny has not yet succeeded in.
Associate Professor Yayel succeeded in that. Even at a very young age.
Lenny was so curious about it that he was going crazy. It’s already been a year since she pulled her hair out like that. She wasn’t completely lost, but she had no clear clue. She seemed like she couldn’t get hold of something, but when she opened her hand, all of her sand was gone and nothing was there.
Originally, she would have politely declined, but that one temptation made her hesitate. If she becomes an ally of the hero, she might be able to get help from Yayel, and she…
To be honest, trying to get someone else’s secret for free was a thief’s heart. So, in good conscience, I couldn’t go to Associate Professor Yayel and ask for help.
Moreover, isn’t Lenny a promising associate professor in the Department of Combat? If such a person goes to the theory department, where he is one step behind, and asks for help, the combat department will not look very good on him. Isn’t there such a fight between departments?
Somehow she was hesitant for one reason or another, and she wondered if she could get some advice if she did it, her mate.
Associate Professor Leni had no other thoughts. Even if Jihyeok wasn’t a great warrior, he didn’t care.
Only one,
Double casting.
It just kept lingering in my mind.
Of course, Jihyeok did not know the details of the fairy. He just assumed he was thinking carefully.
The warrior who knew her tendencies did not intend to hear an answer right away. So she said that she would come back next time and left the drawing room.
After leaving the warriors, Associate Professor Lenny sat for a long time and thought about it before moving to see Associate Professor Yayel.
I felt like I had to ask this.
The fairy quickly headed for the theory department building. And as soon as she entered the building, she went straight to Associate Professor Yayel’s office.
It sounded like something faintly groaning inside. I didn’t hear anything, so I knocked first.
– Who are you?
“Combat Department, Associate Professor Lenny Grape. May I come in for a moment?”
And after a while, the answer came.
– Now, wait a minute… ! I’ll leave.
Lenny waited at her door for quite some time. As the fairy waited impatiently, the door creaked open and Associate Professor Yayel came out.
Her appearance was disheveled, as if she had been studying for a long time. Her face was slightly flushed, and her clothes were subtly slightly disheveled. The fairy’s sensitive nose smelled even the faintest fishy smell.
Lenny was slightly shocked to see that.
I never thought she would be so passionately immersed in her research even after completing her double casting.
She’s a special person after all. Lenny saw Yayel’s appearance in her and it became an opportunity to reflect on her own lack of passion.
“What are you doing… ?”
Yayel gasped slightly. Lenny said that she was sorry for interfering with her research in the first place.
“No. Never mind.”
“That fact… , I received a recruitment offer from His Excellency Kang Ji-hyeok a while ago.”
“Okay.”
It was a familiar voice. Then there is no need for a longer explanation.
“I am researching about double casting. But we haven’t made much progress yet.”
“… Is that so?”
“I’m embarrassed to ask you this, but if I were to join the team, could you give me some advice? Oh, of course, I don’t mean to tell you the secret. It’s just the part where I’m a bit stuck… , I want to get even a little help…”
The fairy was very embarrassed. However, the desire to learn was greater than the shame.
Double casting felt like her destiny. I wanted to complete it no matter what. Only then will you be able to stretch your feet straight forward and sleep comfortably.
Yayel’s eyes widened a little in surprise. … But the answer came easier than she thought.
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. If you join the team, I can tell you all about the theory.”
“… Really?!”
Lenny jumped in amazement. It was because she didn’t even dream that she would tell me all the precious theories.
Yayel smiled kindly.
“If you are on the same team, you should definitely help. Isn’t the survival of the team a priority?”
Ah.
The fairy was a little embarrassed by her own selfishness.
“Thank you. Thank you so much.”
“No. … Then can I just go in? I’ve been a little behind…”
“Yes yes. Thank you, Mr. Yayel.”
“We need to help each other.”
Lenny felt her already warm camaraderie. … It seems that this is a true colleague.
The two parted after a brief goodbye. As Yayel entered the associate professor’s office, Lenny turned around as well.
The fairy was overjoyed. It felt like the completion of the double casting was already approaching.
… Next time, I must bring a present to Mr. Yayel.
“Good job.”
Jihyeok, who was sitting in the chair, said that while looking at Yayel, who had returned to the associate professor’s office. She laughed happily at the captain’s praise.
The hero never dreamed that Lenny would come to Yayel. I didn’t even know that it was related to double casting.
… Things turn out this way again.
Who knew Lenny’s thirst for knowledge would work this way? … This is all thanks to how well Yayel was raised.
The associate professor approached the captain again with a strange smile. Then he took off his pants halfway and slammed his ass on the cock erected like a holy sword.
“I, did I do well? Right?”
“Yeah, well done Yayel.”
As a reward, the hero gave me a harder cock.
