Chapter 80 – Those Who Come (3)
“… Like. If this is what our Dojin students want, this is about it.”
Professor Baek Hyun-ah, who seemed to be taken aback for a moment, accepted my proposal with a smile on her face.
But she didn’t seem to be smiling brightly to the inside.
Seeing the thick veins rising near his temples that even heavy makeup couldn’t hide.
“As a woman, it hurts my pride a little, but… , That’s why I like it more.”
She glanced at me wistfully, then raised herself up on her lap.
“Can you guess what the magic is on that bracelet?”
“Perhaps.”
I lightly put magical energy into her bracelet and traced the faintly imprinted pattern of the magic circle.
A basic magic shield consisting of twelve strokes (Shield.)
Some spells can be improved by adding or subtracting strokes in the magic circle.
One of the most representative magics is shield, one of the basic magics.
Instead of increasing the consumption of magic power by adding strokes, you can increase the hardness more.
The improved shield magic was built into this magic circle as well.
An improved shield raised to the level of beginner magic by inscribing 12 strokes in two overlapping strokes.
“It has beginner-level shield magic built in.”
“Also….”
As if recognizing her, she smiled approvingly and nodded her head.
“Incidentally, the built-in shield magic can be used up to three times. Each cooldown is 1 minute, and after using all the counts, it goes into a charged state for 48 hours.”
I was a little surprised at the end of her explanation.
“Is it a rechargeable type?”
“Whoops, that’s right.”
Artifacts imprinted with magic are divided into replacement type and recharge type.
The replacement type is a method of inserting magic stones into equipment and replacing them when the energy of the magic stones runs out.
The charging type, on the other hand, is a method that absorbs the surrounding magic power and recharges itself when all the built-in magic power is used.
Of course, the latter is the more expensive one.
It’s because the convenience and efficiency are amazing today in that you don’t have to change expensive magic stones every time.
Well, that doesn’t mean the replacement type is worse than the rechargeable type.
Because it is so cheap, it is less burdensome for poor beginner hunters to use it.
Anyway.
I caught an unexpected big fish.
It was not an action taken after finding out the exact value.
It was simply an action taken to burn her longing.
If it’s a rechargeable bracelet with beginner shield magic… , I’m going to do about 400 to 5 million won.
In the midst of her ecstasy, she held out something of her to me.
It was none other than her business card.
“Can you save my number written on it?”
A sign that you don’t want to let the relationship that has been made cut off like this.
I smiled and accepted her business card.
“Sure.”
In the first place, I had no intention of ending it either.
* * *
End of long paperwork.
Yun Jian extended her arms and stretched her.
“Ugh… !”
She smiled lightly as she looked at the papers on her desk.
Her paperwork that has been giving her a hard time the past few days.
Because it was about Kim Do-jin.
“I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with this….”
What she had been working hard on so far was none other than the compensation plan.
Compensation plan for those who have suffered a great deal and solved it.
2nd Semester Special Entrance Ceremony.
A great incident took place there.
Villain’s attack.
In fact, if you look at the raid alone, it’s not particularly terrifying.
To be precise, it’s true that it’s a job where you have to make a fuss, but it’s so common that it’s so common that everyone does it, so I should say I passed it.
But this time, it was a little different.
‘The scale of the raid was unusual.’
A whopping 50 people attacked the outside alone.
There was even a high-ranking wizard inside the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held.
Is that all?
Since when did it start, even a teleportation magic circle was installed under the floor of the auditorium.
‘It was dizzying.’
What would have happened if the magic circle had been activated safely?
If that were the case, perhaps not everyone there would have been able to escape the rough situation.
Also, it would have been recorded as an event that will remain in the history of Korean universities.
No, it’s not just that much, but it may have led to the downfall of Korea University, which has produced numerous high-ranking hunters.
It was Kim Do-jin who stopped this.
Of course, there was also the help of others such as Professor Cheol-woong Lim, but it was he, not anyone else, who first discovered the teleportation magic circle.
‘How the hell did he find out?’
It was so cleverly hidden that not even the professors could find it.
I was curious, but couldn’t find an answer.
It would be impossible to dig it out unless he told me directly.
‘What’s more, that look….’
She recalled the image of Kim Do-jin, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
The shock of that time is still vivid in my mind.
It was that shocking.
I don’t know if it was all the more because I knew what Kim Do-jin’s original appearance was like.
So far, many incidents have occurred in the world, and the compensation for this has been supervised by the Hunter Association.
As a result, there was a set manual, so it wasn’t too difficult to set the level of compensation, but she didn’t follow the manual.
Only for Kim Do-jin.
Even so, his excellent performance was highlighted even more.
He wrote several times emphasizing the worst situation that would have happened if he had not found the teleportation magic circle and had not been able to open the door closed by the sealing magic.
There is only one reason.
To maximize his rewards!
‘Hurry up and post it, let’s go home.’
For that alone, she went to work earlier than anyone else over the past few days and left work late.
Now that she had finally finished her work, she received the payment and, excited at the thought of leaving work early after a long time, she knocked lightly on the door of the general affairs department.
Strictly speaking, this case was to be handled by the General Affairs Department, not by her, who belonged to the Inspection Department.
But because Kim Do-jin was involved, she did it.
She went straight to the head of the general affairs department, greeted her lightly, and handed her a binder containing her documents.
“This is a compensation plan for this incident. Please review and pay.”
Kim Seong-tae, a middle-aged man in his 40s, the head of the general affairs department, frowned at the word compensation.
Then I suddenly realized that the person who handed over the documents was not an employee of my department.
It was an impressive face, so it remains in his memory.
‘Was it Yoon Ji-an of the inspection department…? .’
A member of the inspection department came to pay for the compensation plan.
He immediately remembered an incident that had happened a while ago.
“Ah, this is… , Is this a plan to compensate for the attack during the special entrance ceremony?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
A small smile was drawn on Kim Seong-tae’s lips.
It just went well.
She had something to say to her.
“Hmm.”
He looked over the compensation plan carefully.
Compensation within the very normal range based on the manual.
However, one thing, the reward for Kim Do-jin caught his attention.
“This… , Speaking of Kim Do-jin’s compensation, isn’t it a bit excessive… ?”
It’s subtle.
If it was too much, I would have thrown it away, but I didn’t cross the line.
“I think you will be fully convinced if you look at the reference materials at the end.”
“Um….”
It certainly makes sense.
There were a list of things that I couldn’t believe that only freshmen could solve.
After thinking about it for a while, he happily signed the payment documents.
And he left the same words as a thunderbolt to Yoon Ji-an, who was smiling lightly.
“I had something to say, but you came very well.”
“Yes? Which….”
“I mean, Kim Do-jin, who is taking care of you there right now.”
An ominous feeling passed through her mind.
“Since we decided to take care of it from now on, get your hands off the Inspection Department.”
“Yes? No, what is that all of a sudden….”
When she was embarrassed and tried to say what she was saying, her Kim Seong-tae glared at her displeasedly and said.
“In the first place, taking care of prospects is the responsibility of the General Affairs Department.”
“That’s right, but….”
“Originally, we said we would do our jobs, but is there any problem?”
The problem… , There can be no
As he said, the care of prospects was originally the responsibility of the General Affairs Department.
But she knows.
That they weren’t just trying to take him away to make things right.
To take it, he should have taken it right away.
But he had waited and waited until now, and now it was obvious that he was trying to take her away.
‘They probably want to put saliva on it.’
Through this incident, Kim Do-jin’s stock price rose even more.
No, it wasn’t a rise, it was a cake.
To the extent that even if you add up all the prospects currently being cared for by the General Affairs Department, you won’t be able to find just one.
So now I’m asking you to give it up.
Knowing that it was a huge tree, they thought that they would eat all the fruits that would grow there.
Nasty, cunning
But there is no justification.
If it was the same as before, I couldn’t even make a sound and had to let it out.
But I don’t know why, but I didn’t want to give it away like this.
So I groaned once more.
“… Is this an order from the superior?”
I hoped it wasn’t.
Then, with a bit of force, you’ll be able to catch it.
“That’s cheeky.”
Kim Seong-tae captured her unpleasant feelings as they were in her eyes and shot them at her.
But that’s for a while.
“Well, I understand. It will be a pity to break up because there will be a bond that has been with you until now.”
He smiled and continued as if he were a big man.
“But what? It has already been approved by the higher up.”
“…… !”
“I’ll have an official document down tomorrow, so put everything about Kim Do-jin on my desk.”
Her mocking gaze turned to her.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“No… It is.”
“Then go out.”
She struggled to bow her head and left the general affairs department.
