Chapter 404 – Chapter 404. Conference Thesis Presentation
The hotel rented for the wizarding society is one of the best hotels in the United States.
Among them, the best room always went to the ‘elders’ of the society.
A table with a plate with the room number written on it.
On top of that, fine wines were lined up.
Aiden, the next candidate for the president of the society, was sitting in front of him and talking to a man.
“Don’t you know? Do you think it makes sense for a bitch like Im Sol to have the title of best wizard?”
“Hmm… But I can’t ignore Imsol. There are people who value results.”
“But look. He doesn’t participate in wizard society meetings, and he’s not really super talented. He doesn’t use his body on the subject of women.”
“Yes. I don’t like that either.”
The elder, sitting on the sofa, sipped his wine with a mean laugh, while Aiden continued, careful not to show emotion on his face.
I felt like I was going to say something disgusting when I was talking to these pig-like bastards.
Swoop-
Aiden pushed the prepared item onto the table.
“The business went well this time, and a lot of top-notch magic stones came in. This is all thanks to the elder. This is my sincerity.”
“Heh heh, it was good that Aiden entrusted the investigation team to you.”
“Please take good care of me in the future. I will also support the elder and correct this conference.”
“Yes. I see. I will try my best this time.”
Aiden lowered his head as he saw the elder carrying the magic stone in his arms.
‘I got one vote with this.’
Every year, the wizarding society gave an award to the person who presented the most outstanding thesis.
Although it is a cosmetic product with no products, the tradition has not been ignored.
It would be better to accept at least one before becoming the president of the society.
In fact, he was confident in the magic Aiden had prepared.
The only thing that bothers me is Im Sol.
If you have at least one ticket of the elders, you can feel at ease.
Arthur had to be kept in check to become the president of the society, and Im Sol was one of them.
Imsol was so great.
She was a talent that was not needed for the society she wanted to create.
Even a genius wizard wouldn’t like being in an unrecognized society.
‘And a guy named Lee Ho-yeon…’
A male cadet named Lee Ho-yeon, who makes her debut with Im Sol.
It’s like putting your name in a few days before the announcement, and if you look at your career so far, there are more than one or two suspicious things.
It was as good as when Imsol was active as a wizard for a long time.
She seems to have a pretty deep relationship with Im Sol, so if she goes wrong, she might put more power on her Arthur side.
‘Do I have to deal with it while I’m in the US?’
Aiden recalled the faces of the guys he had recently met.
The power that allowed him to run a secret magic association to become the next president of the society.
It was because of the demons who came in contact suddenly.
They provided funds and power on very good terms.
The only condition is to provide information from time to time.
Maybe you should ask them.
“Aiden. What are you thinking about? You can drink too.”
“Ah, yes. I see.”
Aiden stopped his worries as he drank the alcohol the elder poured out.
*
A cafe on the first floor of the hotel lobby.
Arthur sipped his coffee and changed the subject of conversation.
“Anyway, I’m looking forward to Lee Ho-yeon’s announcement.”
“…Are you talking about Hoyeon again?”
“This is fine. A disciple of the monster Imsol… No. I’m sorry.”
“What are you suddenly sorry for?”
“No, I’ve decided to be careful with the titles I call you. People close to you should pay attention to these things.”
“…? It’s okay to just do what you normally do.”
Imsol tilted her head.
I am not offended by such words.
Because I know very well that there is no malice in Arthur’s words.
Arthur looked at Im Sol’s face and pondered for a moment, then she gave a sinister smile as if she remembered something funny.
“Kuh…”
“… What is it? Why are you making that face?”
Imsol slightly distanced himself from Arthur.
When that person makes that expression, it’s usually right before they make fun of themselves.
“Yeah. Sol-yi has really good students.”
“Suddenly?”
“Your student told me not to use the word monster anymore to his master. That’s why I’m trying to be careful too.”
“… Lie.”
“Why would I lie? Hey, he’s just grown up and his thoughts are so mature. He thinks I’m getting the wrong age.”
“……”
Arthur smiled happily and made fun of Im Sol.
Because his actions were too bold.
But Im Sol couldn’t care about Arthur.
She slowly felt her face heat up.
Even when she was invisible, it felt like the emotions hidden deep in the heart of the disciple who thought of her exploded again.
Imsol covered her face with both of her hands, closed her eyes tightly, and rose from her seat.
“Sol. Are you okay?”
“Mo, I don’t know. It’s okay. Thanks for listening. Me, I’ll go because something happened.”
Arthur gave him a worried look, but Imsol left as if he were running away.
Imsol ignored Arthur’s call and she boarded the elevator.
Pounding- pounding-
‘What is this….’
She knew rationally that it was no big deal, but she couldn’t calm the trembling.
Even after arriving at the suite, Im Sol’s heart was not at peace.
When I sensed someone’s presence, Lee Ho-yeon was still stuck in the lab.
In her mind, she wanted to see her face right now, but she was afraid that she might break her concentration.
Because he knows the concentration of the wizard who entered that state best.
“Ugh, ah… Annoying.”
It’s all because of the uncle.
If I was asked to do so, I would be quiet. Why… !
“Whoa…”
Lee Ho-yeon’s face appeared in Im-sol’s mind.
Im Sol’s mind was filled with his face as he kept throwing stones at her calm mind.
Imsol took a deep breath and unfolded her magic circle.
When her mind is troubled, she just needs to look into magic.
Because magic is justice.
“The magic circle… Let’s check the magic circle.”
The disciple is originally good at seducing women.
Perhaps this is also part of it.
In a quiet living room.
Imsol deployed her magic circles and tried to erase her wandering thoughts.
From long ago, when I went into a state of concentration while studying magic, my useless thoughts would be forgotten.
I was thinking of using that method today.
But no matter how much time passed, her trembling seldom stopped.
*
When she was about 25 hours into the study.
I slowly got up from my chair.
I had never concentrated on this for so long in my life, but I was still able to maintain my concentration, as if there was a correction for the main character.
Perhaps the perk [Clear Mind] Is also helping. Even if I concentrated for such a long time, my mind was clear.
For this study, I used all my magic knowledge.
He strengthened the territory with the barrier of the rune, and controlled the inner magic with [Magical Response].
With his excellent reverse calculation ability, he reversed the magic invading from the outside and took control of the surplus magical power.
In addition to that, I used all the magical elements I heard, learned, and experienced.
Even though this kind of high-level magic was still unknown territory, it was surprisingly not difficult.
It was probably because there was a framework called the barrier of runes.
“… Complete.”
──『Demonic Sky Palace』 ──
▶ Unique Magic
▶ Deploy your own magic area.
It has very strong control over the magic within the realm.
─────────────
“I was a real genius.”
I admired my talent once again, and swallowed my saliva at the appearance of the magic circle in front of me.
Magic that is one level higher than the magic that has been used so far.
It means completion the moment it was recognized as a unique magic, but I carefully infused magic into the magic circle just in case.
“Deployment of Macheon Palace.”
Ugh-
A large force field centered on me emitted an intangible wave, and the magic wave that dominated the surrounding space formed an area around me.
“I still have a bit of a headache…But it’s okay.”
Performance enough to be slightly burdened even with my computing power.
But that’s enough. Right now, you just need to prepare enough to present at the conference.
You should get used to it by using it like Ark.
Blazing-
I set off a small spark inside the realm.
I tried setting off fireworks and moving around.
Noticeably increased power and speed.
Inside the realm, I was able to receive additional effects when using my magic.
Perhaps the realm that Aiden created isn’t stronger than my magic.
At a glance, this is a huge thing.
If you combine it with Ark, wouldn’t it be possible to do it with Professor Im Sol? I had the confidence to do so.
Of course, it’s just confidence.
“… Until here for now.”
I released the macheongung and stroked my stomach.
It was only after completing the magic that the forgotten fatigue and hunger came.
You would die if you did this for one day, but how did you spend a week studying in your room?
“Let’s get some rice for now.”
I looked at my smartwatch and saw that it was 1:00 in the morning.
The society will be able to guess when you sleep now and wake up.
You should fill your stomach before going to bed.
After a long time, I opened the door and came out.
“I’m sure he’ll be here somewhere. Oh.”
Less so-
I stuffed the chocolate bar that had been stuck in the kitchen cupboard into my mouth.
It’s like a distress situation right now. You have to hit the heat as high as possible.
“Isn’t it? Come to think of it, I think they said it was better to eat porridge after starving for a long time.”
I chewed on a chocolate bar and continued my thoughts. Does it matter whether porridge or chocolate bars are good?
Once I eat anything, I feel a little bit better. Especially when I eat sugar, I feel like my head is spinning.
Geeeeeing-
“… Yes?”
And the sound you hear when your stomach is full.
It was the sound of the magic circle working.
“What is it? Is the professor awake?”
Well, 1:00 in the morning isn’t that late. It’s not strange to be awake.
Without thinking, I headed for the living room.
“Professor? What are you doing?”
As I expected, the wide-eyed professor was sitting in the living room.
You weren’t sleeping either.
Professor Imsol was looking at the magic circle, but he couldn’t concentrate at all, which was a little different from his usual appearance.
When I spoke first, Professor Sol Im slowly turned his head to look at me.
“Your research is over. Did you get any results?”
“Yes. Of course. The professor wasn’t sleeping either.”
“… I have something to think about.”
I sat next to the professor.
Why does this person look so tired?
No, aren’t you tired?
It might be because they say there is something to think about.
“Why are you like that? Is something bad happening?”
“No. It’s a good thing.”
Professor Im Sol looked at me and gave me a pretty smile.
With a smile that was so pretty that the accumulated fatigue disappeared, I felt like I was getting better too.
“The magic I made this time is really cool. I’ll show it to the professor before the presentation.”
“Yeah. Thank you. I really miss you.”
“Yes. And… Haam.”
I was going to have a chat with Professor Imsol. A yawn comes out without my knowledge.
I was too sleepy to say more.
Come to think of it, I haven’t slept for almost two days.
“Uh, Professor. I’m so tired, I think I should go to bed.”
“Are you going to sleep now?”
“Yes. I should sleep. The professor sleeps too. There is a thesis presentation today.”
“…Then, shall we sleep together?”
“Yes, yes. I like it.”
I got up from the seat next to the professor.
The professor says he’s sleeping, so I have to go in quickly.
As a result of the long study, my head started to hurt.
I hope I can get my condition right before the conference.
So much-
“Professor?”
I looked at the professor walking behind me and tilted his head.
Why is this person not going to his room and coming to my room?
“Aren’t you going to sleep?”
“You should sleep.”
“But why are you following me?”
“… You said you wanted to sleep together.”
“Yes?”
Only then did I understand the meaning of the professor’s words.
Aha. It means sleeping in the same place, not sleeping at the same time.
…… Why all of a sudden?
“Professor?”
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.
I guess you didn’t do anything wrong?
Did you focus too much on your research alone when you came together?
No, nobody cares about that.
In the first place, even if that is the case, there is no reason to sleep together in my room.
While I was thinking useless thoughts, Professor Imsol headed to bed first, and I swallowed as I watched him.
