Chapter 317 – Chapter 317. Counter-Terrorism Support (4)
The tracking teams were gathering again after hearing that a centaur had appeared.
The location is, of course, where we are.
The guild leader, the 1st team leader, and Elise are here, what should I do?
Should come here
As time passed, familiar people began to gather one by one.
It seemed like it would take some time for the guild members to gather right away because there were guild members who had gone quite far.
I saw people who seemed dissatisfied with me this morning, but since it wasn’t a problem for me to care about, I stayed by Elise’s side.
Irene was away for a while, and Sebastian and Scarlett went out to meet the guild members.
The only people I know are Alice and the guild leader.
I sat next to her and listened to her father and daughter’s conversation.
“That’s what Lee Ho-yeon did.”
“Oh, is that true? Those many dead bodies of demons are Lee Ho-yeon’s work…”
“I was lucky.”
When my name came up in their conversation, I immediately intervened.
“There are times when a man needs to show off more than humility. Especially in front of a woman… Gaug-.”
“Please don’t say anything weird.”
– That man is a proper male. Well!
Liliana seemed to agree with Isaac, but Eris didn’t.
Isaac, who was slapped on the side by Elise, said she thought she had a broken rib, and she left to see her for a while.
What is that uncle
I talked to Ellis while watching Isaac running somewhere.
“You’re going to meet the centaur soon, aren’t you nervous?”
“… Not at all.”
“Oh! Really?”
“You must be nervous. They say there is a way to chase the centaur.”
“Alice, hold on.”
I cautiously approached Alice and whispered in her ear.
“Actually, that was a lie to bring you here.”
“… What?”
Elise looked around her, grabbed my arm, and replied with a serious expression.
“Are you serious? Aren’t you stupid? If you tell lies like that, your dad will…”
I meant to tease you for a moment, but you must have been very surprised.
I smiled mischievously and pressed the back of Elise’s hand.
“No. It was a joke. Of course I prepared it. To lie to my father and get into trouble.”
“… Ha. Annoying.”
Alice, who had a startled expression on her face, narrowed her eyebrows at my words, and then she started glaring at me.
Then she turned around and started walking.
“Ellis. Was that a joke? Ellis?”
“I’ll look around for a while and come back. Don’t follow me.”
Elise replied bluntly, and she walked over to Sebastian, who was seen in the distance.
Awesome.
You can play a little bit.
– You’re finally alone! I was bored!
“… Okay.”
It wasn’t until Elise was gone that Liliana excitedly spoke to her.
Liliana had been talking to herself since earlier, and she finally answered.
No matter how many people there are, I can’t answer Liliana.
– Are you going to see the centaur now? How do you catch it?!
“Well? It’s best to track it down with the tracking team and catch it. You need a space to talk to.”
– Five. Oh! Good! Gazeat!
My plan is to use the power of the tracking team to capture the centaur, and with the help of Isaac, to get Liliana and the centaur to meet.
It would be the best way to have a conversation rather than simply meeting.
Liliana shouldn’t be seen by anyone else.
“First, I have to meet the centaur…”
While chatting with Liliana and looking around, I noticed a group of people looking this way.
They were members of the tracking team, but the guy who seemed dissatisfied from earlier was looking at me.
“Do genius wizards these days even talk to themselves?”
“Hey…Don’t do that. Miss Ellis is a guest.”
“What? If you have any complaints, Ji will come to ask.”
– What is that madman! Will you kill me?!
Even though there was a guild member standing next to me, he was smiling and looking at me.
Wow. When Alice and the guild leader are around, there is no one who doesn’t show off, so they start a fight right away, right?
What a scary world.
“I have nothing to do, but it’s fine.”
– Are you really going? Can I?
“Yes.”
I looked straight into the face of the guy who brought out my name and approached.
I was a little taken aback, as if I hadn’t imagined that he would really come, but soon after seeing the confidently smiling face of the guy, I felt rather welcome.
There is a type of human that I can’t meet after I get stronger, and it’s the bullies.
Now that I think about it, not bad friends who became my emotional trash can when I was having a hard time.
To be honest, I wanted you to fight me one more time, but after I got stronger, I felt sorry for not even making eye contact.
But, round and round, you meet Yangachi again in a far and far away country.
I approached the man with a kind smile.
“Do you have any complaints about me?”
“No. Not really? What’s the genius wizard doing?”
Well.
Unfortunately, it didn’t bother me any more.
You can tell these people just by looking at their faces.
He entered the Iris Guild, which was quite good because he was born with the right talent, but compared to the real geniuses, he felt inferior.
However, it is a typical dull life without the courage to actually do something.
– This kind of person is pitiful. You don’t know his self subject.
“That’s right. It’s just an inferiority complex.”
“… What?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It came out of my mouth by mistake.”
The man listened to me and put on a sad expression.
It looks like they’re attacking because no one is watching, but in fact, the fact that no one is watching is the same here.
“Since the kid looks after me, I know I can be anything…”
“Hey, stop it!”
As if his ego was stimulated, he aroused his mana.
It was as I thought.
Usually, these people care more about the eyes of their colleagues around them.
‘Can we fight a little?’
A situation where someone from the Iris Guild is arguing with me.
It may be uncomfortable for a while, but in the end, that side is a loss.
Rather, if I go over cool, I think my image would be better.
That time when I was trying to generate magical power.
“Kheup!”
Coo-!
The head of the man who was approaching me fell to the floor in an instant.
“… Yes?”
*
Isaac hit Alice in the ribs and limped out of her sight.
“Oh. My daughter looks like her mother, so her fist hurts a lot.”
Isaac hopped lightly onto the roof of a nearby building.
Widely-
“Mmm.”
At the same time, mana flowed to a nearby building.
‘I definitely felt the magical power.’
He couldn’t have felt wrong.
There are no mistakes in the senses created by lying around on the field for decades.
While having a conversation with Elise, I sensed a strange magical power in this area.
Isaac manipulated the mana a little more carefully, and before long he sensed a very thin mana on a nearby rooftop.
It wasn’t until he got close that he recognized its identity.
This was a barrier.
If it was this hard for someone as strong as Isaac to notice, there must be a pretty strong barrier magician inside.
He couldn’t leave the dangers near where he was operating, so Isaac broke through the barrier and went inside.
Inside the barrier, I could see the profile of a woman with attractive red hair.
She was quite a pretty woman at first glance.
Big hum.
Isaac cleared her throat.
You can’t offend a beautiful woman.
Isaac opened her mouth, slowly closing the distance between her.
“Lady, what’s going on in a place like this…”
Pop-
“Oh, did you weaken the barrier too much?”
Sensing the enchantment of her beauty, Isaac stopped her steps as she approached.
“… Who are you?”
Isaac’s senses were fluctuating.
Similar to Lee Ho-yeon’s fighting sense, it is a sense of wildness built up in the real battle.
Isaac did not ignore the senses he had accumulated throughout his life.
Seeing Isaac standing tall in her place, Rebecca smiled slightly.
“Why are you like this even though we’re in the same position. I’m also a guardian.”
“…Is this Lee Ho-yeon?”
“Yeah. That’s why I hope you don’t dash. I have a lot of work to do.”
“…”
Isaac swallowed her saliva.
It was still light outside, and it was far from night.
Fighting against the opponent now could not guarantee victory.
‘Damn, was I too hasty….’
There weren’t many strong people who could beat him, and of course, he memorized all the mana of those people.
But to think that such a master of hermitage was behind Lee Ho-yeon.
She was already dipping her toe into her territory.
There is no way to escape as long as you have entered the barrier of a barrier master that is this strong.
But Rebecca laughed, as if she could see Isaac’s intentions.
“Don’t worry. I don’t mean to fight. It’s just that baby, um. Hoyeon is looking after me.”
“How can I trust you?”
Rebecca tried to let her Isaac go, but even Isaac couldn’t retreat like this.
Because she couldn’t leave her hazards where her own daughters were.
At least she had to know her purpose.
“Mmm, if she had been aiming for that, she wouldn’t have even asked that question by now. You deserve to be trusted.”
“…”
Jiing-
The barrier behind Isaac opened and created a gap.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Hoyeon and come back, so I want you to leave now.”
Rebecca turned around at the last word.
Even if you attack, I can deal with you, so I just meant to leave quietly.
“…”
Isaac quietly escaped through the gap in the barrier, and the barrier closed again as if nothing had happened.
“… I am.”
She couldn’t even remember the last time she had been so weak.
Isaac, who came out of the barrier, smiled absurdly.
“Still, she had a pretty face. Hmm. Let’s ask Lee Ho-yeon.”
But she was also a beauty, so her mood wasn’t too bad.
Two things concern me.
Where the hell did such a strong person come from, and why is she looking after Lee Ho-yeon?
Isaac, who raised Lee Ho-yeon’s evaluation one step further in his head, returned to the place where the tracking team was gathering.
She and she looked at Lee Ho-yeon and found a guild member who caused her magical powers.
After quickly grasping the situation, he grabbed the back of the guild member’s head and threw him to the floor.
“Cheuk-.”
“… Yes?”
Lee Ho-yeon saw the guild leader who suddenly appeared and blinked her eyes.
What. When did this person arrive?
If he had targeted himself, his [Combat Sense] Would have activated and prevented the surprise attack, but since the guild members were his opponents, he didn’t even notice them approaching.
Isaac looked at me while holding the guild member’s head.
“I’m sorry. Hoyeon-ah. I’ll expel this bastard from the Iris Guild right away. We don’t need a guy who doesn’t even know the opponent.”
“…Uh, yes. Thank you. I didn’t like being uncomfortable either.”
– What! I would have won anyway.
‘Sorry….’
It’s been a while since I found a place to vent my anger.
Lee Ho-yeon hid her disappointment and calmed down her mana.
Normally, I would have asked about everything, but I couldn’t be angry because I hit her in the head without any of that.
Isaac got up and shook his hand and looked at me.
“Lee Ho-yeon. I’m sorry about this, but I’ll ask…”
“… What’s up!?”
“Hey, guild leader! What’s going on?!”
Just then, Alice and Sebastian ran from afar.
Scarlett was following behind her, but the three who came closer saw the guild member’s head stamped on the floor and looked at me at the same time.
“No, why are you looking at me?”
It’s what your guild leader did.
*
– There are too many people! Ugh
I stroked poor Liliana.
At most, there is no time to talk, so I need to pet him.
“You’ve done one more thing.”
“Because I didn’t do it.”
He glared at Scarlett standing next to him.
This is the victim, the victim.
Can’t you see the victim’s tears?
Alice and Sebastian were listening to the guild members explain.
Elise seems to be in a bad mood too, seeing him staring at the guy stuck on the floor like trash.
Was it because she was a guest she brought, or was it because of me.
‘The latter would be nice.’
The moment he sneaked closer to check Alice’s status window.
The guild leader approached me.
“Lee Ho-yeon. I want to ask you something.”
