Chapter 602 – Chapter 602. The Culprit Was Lee Ho-Yeon.
The empty president’s office was filled with silence.
The president of the society, who was sitting in his seat, was staring at the documents with his mouth shut.
Squeak- squeak-
I heard the occasional sound of writing something while organizing papers.
The president of the Hunter Association didn’t like to be distracted during work hours.
He had the personality to get something else in his hands only when he focused and finished his work.
He rose to the position of president of the association thanks to his sincere personality and personal connections.
“… What?”
At that time.
Suddenly, the president of the association woke up from his seat.
“You’re trying to bite the owner of a dog, you have to change your habit! Do you know who I am!”
The president of the association started pointing his finger at the air with bloodshot eyes.
He hated talking to anyone when he was concentrating on his work, so there was no one near the president’s office.
Nevertheless, the president of the association continued his words.
“No, no… It can’t be like this. We’re running out of time. We’re talking about wasting time. Be more certain. More…!”
The head of the association looked at the wall, raised his voice and became angry.
He wandered around the room, making bizarre gestures and muttering to himself.
He sometimes spoke softly and reflectively.
“Hee-hee-hee… I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
He immediately lowered his head.
Unfamiliar information forcibly fills my head.
He becomes dazed as if in a dream and forgets what he is doing.
“… Ah.”
I remembered what to do.
The association president, who had been staring blankly into space, turned around and disappeared outside the room.
Then, a quiet voice resounded in the president’s room, which had become quiet.
“There’s only garbage here and there. There’s nothing special about Korea.”
A man who was sitting on the hospitality couch got up.
The head of the association didn’t notice until the end, but the maestro was here from the beginning.
Swoop-
Maestro raised the nameplate of the president of the association.
The association’s mark depicting an ascending dragon.
The red pearl held by the dragon indicates that this person is in the highest position in the association.
At the same time, remember the scene you just saw.
His own brainwashing works more strongly on those with weaker psyche.
The mental strength of the man who was the president of the association was just that much.
To Maestro, humans are like this.
“In the end, everyone is just a minion.”
Humans mistakenly live their own lives, but in the end, they are following the flow of the world.
Most human beings are just the minions of a few human beings who move with an eye to something bigger.
Except for a few important objects, they are garbage that is not worth living for.
… And the same goes for himself.
The Maestro has already brainwashed dignitaries all over the world.
From their respective positions, they will bring chaos to the world and prevent humans from uniting.
“Even trash can do something to pass the time.”
Don’t expect much from humans.
It is enough to act as a windbreak until the demon king regains his strength.
To stop Lee Ho-yeon, his own antipode.
And for the Demon Lord who descended faster than planned.
The maestro said he did what he had to do.
‘For the Demon King… Is it.’
The Maestro looked out the window at the city.
Before long, the human world will be swept away by disaster.
It is the day when the fear planted in humans by the pandemic explodes.
The Maestro has lived for it, and the future is right in front of her eyes.
… Then, what should you live for now?
The Maestro quietly looked out the window.

Student President’s Office.
Lee Ho-yeon slowly brushed the back of Moon Soo-rin, who was leaning on her own shoulder.
Even after she finished her story, Moonsu-rin looked worried.
“Don’t worry too much, Surin.”
“Ho-Yeon-ah, uh…”
Her pounding heart and panting breath became stable. Moonsoo Rin’s eyes, looking at her own, regained her firearm.
She continued to hold her as she spoke, and Munsu-rin seemed to have calmed down a little too.
Lee Ho-yeon reassured her and hugged her tightly.
“Anyway, that’s going to be a bit of a hassle. Thanks for telling me.”
To sum up what Moon Su-rin said to her, it is as follows.
Everywhere in her world there were people who doubted her actions.
Some of them had a religious belief that they were punishing her by starting to break her black pillar.
Even if it is not necessarily a religious approach, there are people who sympathize to some extent with scratching and scratching.
Certainly, it was such a nuisance that Moon Su-rin was worried.
She said, ‘I never imagined that breaking the black pillar would be an issue.’
The black pillar was treated as a nuisance in any country, so I thought it would be okay.
‘Still, I’m glad I didn’t break it blindly as it looks.’
It’s not that I didn’t think of Lee Ho-yeon.
She thought, no matter how black the pole was, she was in her own country and could claim her ownership.
So only the black pillars in France and Korea were broken.
Even if a problem arises between the two countries, it can be solved with the help of the Iris Guild and Victoria Academy.
However, despite all these efforts, a problem arose.
“The strange ones have stuck. Don’t worry too much.”
“It’s because I’m worried about Hoyeon. I heard that quite a few people are suspicious.”
“Does your sister still trust me?”
“Of course. No matter what happens, Hoyeon is on my side.”
Moon Soo-rin held Lee Ho-yeon’s hand.
The reason she lives now is Lee Ho-yeon.
She just realized it once more.
While she was in Lee Ho-yeon’s arms, she felt like all the stress she had received during the day melted away.
She was saddened by Lee Ho-yeon’s face she hadn’t seen in two weeks, but just talking about the hardships she had while holding him seemed to relieve her anger.
Now I couldn’t imagine life without him.
“For now, please ignore those who say that.”
“Ignore?”
“… Yes. I have something to think about.”
Lee Ho-yeon hugged Moon Su-rin and thought.
There are crazy people who doubt themselves because they broke the black pillar.
Although they are frustrating guys who take away their lives, they themselves have to think of an efficient way even in this situation.
‘The black pillar will be the one that gives strength to the monsters of hell.’
Black pillar.
There is no way a structure that exudes such strong infernal magic could exist for no reason.
In order for monsters to operate on Earth where the environment of Hell has not yet been implemented, they must receive the magic of Hell from the Black Pillar.
I think it’s a very probable hypothesis.
‘I can’t break the black pillar properly, but… Declaring a state of emergency might be easier.’
Originally, he planned to mobilize the Iris Guild, Wizards Association, and Victoria Academy to publicize the danger.
Because we have to declare a global emergency and build defenses.
But time was running out for such a plan.
The attack of the monsters lasted for a week at the longest or a few days at the shortest.
It is difficult for selfish people to give up immediate gain and unite in a matter of days.
What do people need most to grasp reality?
It’s a knife that came right down to the neck.
People only move when a crisis is right in front of them.
And monsters are fit for a crisis the world will fear.
There are two countries where Lee Ho-yeon broke the black pillar.
Korea and France.
Most of the things in France were thrown out in a week, and things in Korea should be done in a few days.
If Lee Ho-yeon’s hypothesis is correct, monsters in areas without black pillars cannot exert their full power.
In other words, the damage to Korea and France would be strangely small.
Lee Ho-yeon openly broke the black pillar, so it is only a matter of time before the reason is revealed.
If the truth is revealed, it will be a situation where everyone is clinging to themselves.
‘It’s not that there’s no answer at all, but there is a way, but I’ll be angry if I’m not doing it.’
It is not difficult to change public opinion if you include the operation of the Iris Guild.
It can bring people together while giving a visible contrast effect.
“… Ha.”
However, the problem with this plan is that many victims have to come out.
In fact, there has to be a lot of damage to face the danger.
That fact made Lee Ho-yeon feel dirty.
“Hoyeonah. I’ll help you with what I can. Don’t worry too much on your own.”
Smack smack.
Moon Soo-rin stroked Lee Ho-yeon’s hair.
She seemed to have a lot of trouble with Ho-yeon because of her sudden words.
At times like these, you have to show a good side of yourself as an older sister.
On the other hand, Lee Ho-yeon smiled as he saw Moon Soo-rin stroking his hair.
It was so cute to see a person who was trembling a moment ago pretending to be strong.
“… I love you. Surin noona.”
“I-I love you too. Hoyeon-ah.”
Lee Ho-yeon buried her face in Moon Soo-rin’s chest.
As the soft touch wraps around the cheeks, I feel at ease for some reason.
‘Anyway, it’s surprising that the president of the association stepped out like that.’
According to her older sister Surin, she was strangely hostile to the president of the association.
However, the head of the Hunter Association that Lee Ho-yeon knows is not that kind of person.
Both in the original work and when I felt it in the real world.
I have never thought of the president of the association as a strong enough person to carry out his opinions.
“But the president of the association is surprising. I thought he wasn’t that kind of person.”
“Maybe I’m senile like my grandfather?”
“… Kuhm. Anyway, it’s strange.”
Victoria Academy, represented by Surin Mun, is not just an educational institution.
The symbolism of being the world’s best academy was huge, and academy graduates occupy important positions all over the world.
Even power could not be ignored.
She had two of the strongest wizards in the world, and the professors and other students were strong enough.
But how dare you openly praise Surin noona?
In one day, people became strange.
If a human who knows her location suddenly changes her demeanor, it’s usually one or the other.
‘I got a back ship to do that… Are you being manipulated?’
Hoyeon Lee narrowed her eyes.
The chances of anyone supporting him were slim. In Korea, there is no one who can support the president of the association, and there is nothing to be gained from the president of the association now that he has been working overseas.
That means the president of the association is being manipulated.
‘… Maestro.’
I’ve been wanting to be quiet lately. He may have been plotting trouble.
I guess I need to check this one more time.
