Chapter 548 – Chapter 548. Confession (2)
– This is reporter Kim Han-sol, who is on the scene. Half a day has already passed since an unknown magical power took over Victoria Academy. More than a thousand people are trapped inside, and the wizards of the Hunter Association are in the process of rescue….
Hundreds of people gathered in front of the main gate of Victoria Academy.
Wizards trying to dismantle the fake dungeon magic circle and reporters who came to cover the unprecedented terror.
Even family and friends waiting for those trapped inside the academy.
In the middle of a confusing situation. Moon Jae-cheol, the head of the academy, was generating magic with a wrinkled expression.
“Somehow, when I went on a business trip, this happened…”
The magic circle that covered the entire academy swallowed all the people inside.
As it was a national situation, all the top wizards in the Hunter Association were mobilized, but they hadn’t even started interpreting the magic circle yet.
“Hey. Is it that far?”
“I’m sorry. It’s the first magic circle I’ve ever seen, so I can’t interpret it at all. At least I need the help of a wizard like Im Sol or Lee Ho-yeon…”
“They’re both trapped in that magic circle, what bullshit are you talking about! Shit! Surin-ah!”
The chairman pounded the magic circle with his fist, forgetting his dignity.
He was so helpless that he couldn’t use his strength because of the wounds and aging he had suffered in battle.
Ominous magic was pouring out of the magic circle.
Even the chairman of the board felt this magic.
It was similar to the mysterious magic flowing from the runaway dungeon and the black pillar.
“Who the hell is the one who perpetrated this terrible terror…”
According to the wizards, it would take several days to analyze the magic circle.
A few days is too much time for hundreds of people to die.
I desperately hope that no single victim will ever happen, but in reality there was no way that would happen.
‘What’s wrong with that child who grew up without parents? The sky is Please, as much as my granddaughter….’
Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon trapped in the magic circle might be able to interpret this magic circle, but what might be happening inside that magic circle.
Would there be time to spend on analyzing the magic circle?
The chairman hit the magic circle with his fist while clenching his fist.
It was an expression of anger that had nowhere to go.
But at that moment.
The magic circle radiated tremendous light, and the magic circle, which was like an iron wall, slowly began to crumble.
“… Yes?”
The chairman stared blankly at his fist.
What? Why did the magic circle break?
Could he have done it himself?
“This, Chairman-sama destroyed the magic circle!”
“Wow! As expected, Mr. Chairman!”
I heard cheers around me, but Moon Jae-chul, who regained his consciousness, focused on the magic circle.
The slowly collapsing magic circle spit out people one by one.
In the midst of chaos, the figures can be seen in the center of the shining magic circle.
Even from a distance, it was instantly recognizable.
It was her own granddaughter, Moon Su-rin.
“Surin-ah…!”
Granddaughter is alive
That fact alone made Moon Jae-cheol feel like he was about to burst into tears.
However, what draws more attention than her is Lee Ho-yeon next to her.
His appearance, shining brightly at the center of the magic circle, looked like a hero who saved the situation.
“Lee Ho-yeon…!”
“Chairman! What the hell did you do! Even if hundreds of magicians cling to this magic circle…”
“Stop talking bullshit! Aren’t you seeing the heroes over there!”
Moon Jae-cheol ran to the center of the magic circle, ignoring the reporters who were talking nonsense.
*
Chow ah-
Seeing the spreading magic power, Im Sol opened her eyes wide.
“The magic circle is breaking…”
As Lee Ho-yeon created magic, the magic circle gradually collapsed.
Because it was the center where the magic circle could be controlled, it was possible to see the magic circle disintegrate in real time.
The monsters of hell were scattered into powder, and people came out of the magic circle one by one.
It was Baek Ah-young’s words that magically restored Im-sol’s spirit, who had been blinded by the tremendous sight.
“Sol. Can you teleport me first? There must be a lot of seriously injured people.”
“Are you okay? Ahyeong, your condition doesn’t look good either.”
“I’m fine. Other people are more important than that.”
“…There will be no patients. Mr. Ah-yeong, because the healing space installed inside the magic circle can save people whose lives are in danger.”
Lee Ho-yeon added a word to relieve Baek Ah-young’s worries.
Munsu Lin, who was next to her, also approached Baek Ah-yeong.
“Saintess, don’t overdo it and take a rest. I’ll take care of the rest when I’m done.”
“Ah… Thank you, student council president.”
Lee Ho-yeon let out a sigh.
The dissolution of the magic circle is over.
Now, in just a few minutes, you can go back to normal.
Enough time for her to confess her own faults.
“Rumi. We can finally go out…”
“I’m glad Lucy…”
“Guys. You two have been very helpful. Next time, Hoyeon and I will stop by my lab.”
“Oh, thank you!”
Before that, Lee Ho-yeon looked around the heroines.
I knew she wasn’t hurt, but everyone seemed to be getting closer than I thought.
“Ellis. You look in a good mood.”
“Because now I can go home and wash up.”
“Should I take a shower with my sister after a long time? Sing Lee Ho-yeon too.”
“I absolutely hate it. Even if Lee Ho-yeon is present, I hate it.”
They were delighted to be able to escape the magic circle after the long battle with Lucifer.
The atmosphere was different from Lee Ho-yeon, who was trying to bring out her sincere words.
“I want to leave the damn magic circle now!”
“I want to go home and rest too. Whoa.”
“Everyone worked hard. Ah, Hoyeon also worked hard.”
“… Yes. Thank you, Da-eun.”
Lee Ho-yeon looked at Nam Da-eun with a smile and continued her worries.
After dealing with Lucifer, she thought of confessing what she had done to everyone.
This fake dungeon magic circle was created by himself, and he was the one who endangered everyone.
It is also true that he had a relationship with everyone without asking the heroines for their understanding.
Sorry for everything
I will do everything I can.
Words of unorganized apology come to mind.
However, she and the heroines have different thoughts.
Even if she creates an atmosphere of apologizing alone, it is meaningless unless they are ready.
“Hmm? What are those people?”
Then, Irene pointed to a place with her finger.
Dozens of people were running toward the center, and at the head of them was a familiar face.
“… Grandfather?”
Moon Soo-rin looked at the chairman with a bright smile.
When she was first trapped in the dungeon, she was very worried about the director, but luckily she didn’t seem to get caught up in it.
“So what was this magic circle? Was it Lucifer’s work?”
“Isn’t that so? Hoyeon also fell into a trap…”
“As expected! So who are they?”
“Looking at the artifacts they’re holding, they look like reporters.”
“Aha. You’re here to report on the hero who saved the academy! Serve the hero!”
Nam Da-eun and Liliana laughed at each other and chatted.
Be a hero For some reason, my conscience is pricked.
At that time, Scarlett, who had been quiet, approached Hoyeon Lee.
“Hoyeon-nim. Wasn’t there something you wanted to say?”
“…”
Scarlett’s eyes looking at herself are frightening.
I was thankful for Scarlett who sometimes said such sharp things, but I hated it.
Lee Ho-yeon was worried.
It’s easy to stop those reporters from coming.
If you gather the magical power of the magic circle and block the center, you can make time for a while.
In the meantime, it is possible to apologize to the heroines.
But is that really the right thing to do?
It’s good to apologize.
But will an apology be delivered properly in this situation?
Is the apology sincere?
Isn’t it a selfish act to make my heart comfortable?
‘… Am I still living in a different world?’
Maybe he was trying to do something stupid.
To Lee Ho-yeon, catching Lucifer was a great harvest.
Now, all that is left is the demon king, and before that, you just need to capture the hearts of the heroines… I thought.
No. I didn’t think so, but I might have had that mindset without even realizing it.
You shouldn’t see heroines as a problem to be solved.
We have to face human to human.
Lee Ho-yeon swallowed again and looked at Scarlett.
“No. Nothing. You worked hard. Scarlett.”
“You worked hard, Mr. Hoyeon.
“Hoyeon suffered more than me.”
In the end, Lee Ho-yeon swallowed his words.
It was strange to even think about apologizing now.
‘Even if I don’t have a clear mind, I have a problem.’
How difficult was it to apologize?
Lee Ho-yeon sighed and looked at the people approaching.
“Surin! Moon Surin!”
“Grandpa, no, Chairman. Lower your voice.”
Moon Jae-cheol, the chairman of the board, comes running in tears, and Moon Su-rin greets him.
The moment reporters approached, it was too late to turn back.
Standing next to Moon Soo-rin, Lee Ho-yeon greeted the chairman with a mixed heart.
*
The academy terror case was somehow settled.
It was a massive terrorist attack, but there were no casualties, and Lee Ho-yeon subdued the culprit, Lucifer, so there wasn’t much to investigate.
But where did the academy’s security break through?
And how the demons of the pandemic that Lucifer belonged to move.
Those were the challenges ahead.
With the Academy as the main axis, the Hunter Association has also rushed, so the truth will be revealed soon.
‘… It’s a problem because the truth behind the incident is the hero Lee Ho-yeon.’
Ha.
Lee Ho-yeon sighed heavily as he lay down on the sofa in the living room.
Lee Ho-yeon, who killed Lucifer, the main culprit, was naturally treated as a hero.
Reporters flocked in droves, so articles would spring up.
I couldn’t confirm it with my own eyes, but there must have been an uproar about the second coming of the genius wizard.
‘Of course, the one who caught Lucifer is a hero…. If you know the truth, other people won’t accept it that way.’
From Lee Ho-yeon’s point of view, who knows the story, catching Lucifer is a great harvest.
But what if you knew the truth?
Lee Ho-yeon is a terrorist, and Lucifer is only an accomplice who sympathizes with the terrorist.
‘I couldn’t even properly apologize.’
I ate my heart, but in the end I couldn’t even apologize to the heroines.
I don’t regret it.
Rather, I wanted to praise myself for not rushing out at the time.
Revealing the sudden truth to the heroines right after the battle must have been a shock to them.
Rather than being accepted as an apology, ‘What is this bastard saying all of a sudden?’ The first thought would be
OK. It’s okay to postpone an apology.
Then what should I do from now on?
Lee Ho-yeon groaned and began to think.
“… Daeun-ah. Why is the baby’s father like that?”
“I don’t know. When I come back, it’s still like that.”
“Couldn’t it have been infected by Lucifer’s magical power?”
Whisper.
The heroines living in Lee Ho-yeon’s house were sitting at her table and watching Lee Ho-yeon.
When I came back and saw Lee Ho-yeon, who was still weak, I was worried about her, but she couldn’t even talk to me because she was giving off an atmosphere that told me not to talk to him.
In the end, the end was sitting at the table and observing Lee Ho-yeon.
How long has it been
Around the time the heroines’ interest in Lee Ho-yeon faded.
Lee Ho-yeon jumped up from the sofa.
“Yes. I took it too easy. Let’s go and apologize.”
“… He’s strange. Isn’t he also infected by Lucifer’s magic circle? Let’s do a test.”
“No. Liliana. That can’t be. I made that magic circle.”
“Yes?”
Liliana, who was approaching to put her hand on Lee Ho-yeon’s hair, blinked her eyes at Ho-yeon Lee.
Seeing that she was making strange noises, she was sure she was out of her mind, but her eyes were clear.
“That magic circle is mine. The battle took place because Lucifer suddenly came and took away the authority.”
“Eh? Eh? Really?”
“Yeah. So it’s all my fault that you fought to the death. I’m sorry, Liliana.”
Lee Ho-yeon walked to the table and bowed.
If he hadn’t designed the magic circle, the battle with Lucifer wouldn’t have happened, and everyone wouldn’t be in danger.
I was sincerely sorry.
“Since the baby’s father said it, I’ll ask you. Why did you kidnap the academy?”
Rebecca, who was staring at Lee Ho-yeon, opened her mouth.
She knew the truth about her magic circle, but she intended to watch quietly until Lee Ho-yeon opened her mouth.
If Lee Ho-yeon didn’t say anything until the whole incident was over, he was going to go and ask him alone… I’m glad you talked to me though.
“It wasn’t exactly kidnapping the academy. It was Rebecca-san.”
“Are you kidnapping me?”
Rebecca tilted her head at her sudden words, and Lee Ho-yeon calmed her pounding heart and continued her words.
