Chapter 175 – Reunion
#175.
“I’m glad the conversation ended well.”
The deal with Louisiana was successfully concluded.
Having succeeded in weakening Isabella’s strength, it is now time to strengthen the strength of Hirencia.
She always has a place to go to after the dawn training, so you can go there tomorrow. Before that, I had to stop by the Barrymore estate and talk.
Gaon, who had left the red light district and arrived at the downtown area, had just passed by the clock tower and suddenly looked straight ahead.
I saw a woman just coming out of a cafe.
Her gray eyes, like clear glass beads, and her beautiful features stood out in her gray, star-studded hair.
A wide-brimmed hat adorned with flowers emphasizes her appearance as a wizard, and a mini-one-piece outfit with feathers gives off a neat yet subtly enchanting atmosphere.
As she ran her hand through her ear with her hand on her blue gem-encrusted bracelet, she turned her head to him, perhaps feeling his gaze.
And as soon as her eyes met, she freaked out and stiffened her body.
“Ah, ah… ! Over there, that…”
She stuttered her words, opening and closing her mouth as if not knowing what to say to her.
The woman, Cheon Jae-hee, couldn’t hide her embarrassment when she saw the sudden encounter with Ga-on.
‘Did he recognize it?’
Her face now is completely different from before she broke up with Gaon.
If before, her features were eaten up by the color of her hair and eyes and she had a vague impression that I couldn’t even remember unless I looked closely, but now, when I saw her once, she boasted a beauty that would be difficult for a man to forget.
What would be their reaction if they were found out that they were doing plastic surgery with the magic they had learned so much?
Cheon Jae-hee knew that Gaon could see the future, but she panicked and couldn’t remember it.
While Cheon Jae-hee was in trouble alone, Gaon calmly greeted her.
“Long time no see. Genius Hee.”
“Do you recognize me?”
Chun Jae-hee opened her eyes wide in surprise.
When she first changed her face, even her master couldn’t recognize her if it wasn’t for her unique magic pattern.
When she asked with her trembling heart, Gaon nodded her head as if it didn’t matter.
“Of course, isn’t it? Although it has changed a lot, a little bit of her original appearance remains.”
“…”
I don’t know if she should call it a minimum of conscience, or if I should call it obstinacy, but she had left at least the basic shape of her original face, but she never imagined that she would recognize it at once.
I’m touched by something, and I’m embarrassed, so my face blushes and my heart beats.
Gaon said as she lowered her head and avoided her gaze.
“Above all, I don’t know what Cheon Jae-hee will look like in the future. Don’t you remember?”
Cheon Jae-hee is a magical genius. And magic can’t even be learned unless the brain is very good.
So there was no way she couldn’t remember the conversation we had just a year ago.
At the words of her tone, she regained her composure to a certain extent and lifted her head.
“Oh, that, was it? That’s right. It was weird not knowing. Ahaha…”
“Anyway, I’m glad you seem to be doing well. I went to the Mage Tower two months ago, but they said it was vacant. He left a letter, did you ever get it?”
Gaon and his party also induced Cheon Jae-hee to come to Jira Magic Tower, which was quite busy, by leaving a Jira letter that they couldn’t stop by every day.
However, seeing that he hadn’t come, I wondered if the counter clerk hadn’t received the letter by mistake.
But she firmly shook her head.
“No. Received. It’s just that I don’t have time to go there. I’m leaving again in an hour. I was thinking of replying, but it’s nice to meet you like this.”
“Okay. I’m glad you seem to have an aptitude for magic. It’s not like I forced you to.”
“Ahaha, of course. I am grateful to Gaon. She, by the way, honestly thought that if we met again, I would be the strongest, but I was mistaken. Should I try harder?”
Cheon Jae-hee, who let out a refreshing laugh as if the tension was completely relieved, looked at Ga-on and she said playfully, as if she was a little resentful.
Her level is 7 stars. She was at a level where she could use synthesis magic. Perhaps the reason why she changed her face was the combination of multiple magics.
Her sophisticated magic was truly admirable, to the extent that even Gaon’s formidable eyesight could not find her sense of difference.
“Because I used a half-shortcut. Genius Hee is truly amazing. I am getting stronger faster than I ever knew.”
“It seems like you’re bowing down, but thank you for the compliment. But now you can speak comfortably. Aren’t you tired of sticking with your last name? No way, Chorin-san is still Lee Cho-rin, Lee Cho-rin. Isn’t that what you call?”
“… Then I will speak comfortably. Jae Hee. And it’s been a while since I talked to Chorin. We are lovers now.”
Jaehee’s eyes widened once more.
She smiled brightly at her joy at the fact that her old friend in her union had won her love, and, completely incomprehensible, she felt at the same time a strange throbbing feeling in her heart.
“Really? Congratulation! Gaon is very insensitive and Chorin is timid, so I wondered if the two could get along, but it’s fortunate. I let go for an hour.”
“I’m not particularly insensitive.”
“Really? Have you ever heard of being insensitive or insensitive to others?”
“…”
I couldn’t answer.
There were quite a few people who had said that to him so far, and they were all women. There seems to be something he doesn’t know about women.
When she couldn’t open her mouth easily and kept her silence, Jaehee grinned and infused her magic into the gems on her bracelet, drawing out her magic wand.
“I’d rather move on than that. It’s a bit too much to continue talking about here. Cafe… Since I had a lot of fun until just now, I decided to take a look at the capital city. I will give you a special ride on my private plane.”
At the same time, he jumped on top of the staff and held out his hand.
A towering clock tower in the background and bare, withered tree branches. And the sun, with the white doves flying around, made her hair even more shiny.
Gaon looked up at her dazzling figure, narrowing his eyes, thinking for a moment before grabbing her outstretched hand.
“Then please.”
“Ahaha! Anything. Hold on tight.”
“Excuse me.”
Gaon reached out both of her hands and hugged Jaehee by the waist.
Thick forearms covered with strong muscles wrap around the thin waist and hold on tightly.
Jaehee thoughtlessly started her wand, but felt her hand around her waist and her broad chest against her back, and she flinched and shuddered.
‘It’s hard…’
Truly male. Her touch, which evoked her feeling of being her strong male, made her flutter in her own way.
The feeling of being strongly protected by someone had the effect of gently comforting her heart, which had been hurt by bullying during her school days and her parents’ indifference.
Her pounding heartbeat winced, she recalled her chorin and shook her head to clear her thoughts.
‘Idiot! What are you doing to a man who owns it?’
Jae-hee, who had severely restrained herself at the thought that she couldn’t betray her friendship, took a deep breath and took off, trying to be as cool as possible.

“Good night.”
“Haam… Gaon, don’t stay outside too long. I will sleep first.”
Chorin yawned at her, exchanged greetings with her, and fell asleep soundly.
Gaon looked down at Chorin, who covered her naked body with a blanket on her back, then put on her clothes and came out.
It is late in the morning when the sun has not risen yet. Normally, it’s time to fall asleep, but today I had something to do.
‘Is it like this?’
Gaon, who came to the private training room of the Pre-Renewal Guild, took her dangling sword and swung it around, contrasting the movements in her memory.
Although he mainly learned spearmanship, at the time of his first play, he used various weapon techniques for all sorts of catching, so the basic framework was in place.
Above all, the level of 11 stars was a level that could not be reached without being familiar with weapon technology, even if it was the first weapon to handle.
As soon as the day dawned, Gaon planned to go see Hirencia.
Now this is preparation for that.
“That’s right. There was a gap in the action that continued here.”
The swordsmanship of the Shubrans family is natural, but the level is very high. Of course, it is normal to not be able to find gaps, but that also varies from person to person.
Hirencia basically moves in a non-stop rushing way through quick combo attacks.
Of course, in swordsmanship, where emphasis is placed on tricks rather than quick swords, the level of proficiency is inevitably lowered.
If you map while attacking such areas, there will probably be parts that you will come to realize on your own.
The 9-star is also called the intangible state.
Not having an older brother means that I am no longer bound by movements. In other words, in order to reach 9 stars, you must get out of the frame of swordsmanship and learn your own way.
If you attack the gap, Hirencia’s genius talent will instinctively find the most powerful sword path that suits you.
He knows everything before reaching 9 stars and after reaching it.
So she can be said to be her most suitable teacher.
I’m sorry-!
As a finish, Gaon swung a long sword horizontally and noticed that the sun had risen before he knew it, and headed to the shower to wash and return to his room.
“Ah, Mr. Gaon, are you here? Come on, sit down. I’ve prepared a meal for you.”
“Thank you for this food.”
“Yes, today… You said you were going to meet him, right?”
Gaon’s body flinched at Chorin’s words.
In her eyes, along with her hidden jealousy towards Hirencia, on the one hand, there was a sense of inclusiveness that could be understood.
Gaon nodded her head thinking that he was lucky to have met such a woman.
“Yes, Isabella Martinez will definitely be targeting Hirencia. She needs to be prepared.”
“… All right. Come back safely. This is your first meeting, so be careful. Got it?”
“Of course. Thank you.”
“What. See you later sometime.”
Gaon and Chorin exchanged warm smiles.
As the two of them were creating a friendly atmosphere, Ha-yeon, who had been left out and chewing on breakfast, hurriedly intervened.
“I will support you too! Fighting Master!”
“Yeah, thank you. Thank you for cheering me up.”
Hayeon is not the type to express herself in words. She always communicated her true feelings through her actions rather than her words.
Gaon, who knew that he could not relate to such topics because he was not around, gently touched his head and cheeks and started eating.
Today, I had to have an intense physical conversation with Hirencia, so I left after filling my stomach enough to not feel hungry enough.
After kissing Chorin and Hayeon once each, Gaon left the guild and went through the gate to the capital.
‘We finally meet.’
It’s been almost 10 years since I’ve seen your face.
How is she Is she smiling kindly even now? Will she still shine brightly?
I was curious about all of that, so it was hard to suppress my emotions.
Passing through the imperial palace, into the woods, through the woods, into the hills, through the hills, I finally arrived at the garden.
On top of this, she is.
‘It’s been a while since I climbed.’
In my previous life, this hill was also completely destroyed without a trace due to the invasion.
Gaon put on a mask he had prepared in advance to cover his face and climb the hill.
The hill he stepped on after 10 years was no different from then.
With each step I took, the feeling of excitement grew, and my heart beat wildly.
And when he climbed to the top, he could see the sight of his brilliant platinum hair fluttering.
‘Herencia.’
At the same time, memories of the past flooded him like an ebb.
