Chapter 111
Jeong Da-on.
When news spread that a new potential S-class had appeared in Korea.
East Asia was quite shaken, but America, which was overflowing with talent, and even the Hunter Association headquarters didn't treat it as a big deal.
If it was a talent that they didn't want to miss, they could just scout them to the Hunter Association later.
But that was until a certain video was uploaded.
"The idiots wouldn't have noticed, but anyone could tell that it was real true magic."
That video completely turned the tables.
Even if they were S-class magicians, there were only a handful who had created true magic.
Twisting the natural flow of magic with their own language.
That was an area that was impossible even with simple talent for handling magic or hard work.
In fact, it had not yet been exactly determined how one could use true magic.
Some said that it takes a long time to accumulate knowledge, while others said that it requires special enlightenment.
Even the magicians who used the mantra magic could not properly explain how they succeeded in creating the magic.
However, a magical new star that unleashed the mantra magic appeared in front of those magicians as soon as they awakened.
“That’s why a man like James Chen would want to catch you even more.”
A high-ranking magician who was lucky enough to grow up in a wealthy family and have a smooth life.
There were many such people in the Hunter Association, and James Chen was one of them.
And at the same time, he was also a magician who had not awakened the mantra magic.
A magician who was so outstanding that he took the top position at the Hunter Association headquarters.
However, that is only the perspective of others.
Who among the high-ranking magicians would not covet the mantra magic?
“Because mantra magic is the dream of all magicians.”
And, Leila, who said that, wasn't so calm either.
An Asian girl who appeared from a country whose name she didn't even know, using mantra magic so casually.
It wasn't just James Chen who was shaken by that sight.
Even... ... .
"Yeah, I really wanted mantra magic."
A person's heart would beat at such praise-like words, but that expression was so nonchalant.
Doesn't it look like she's bored rather than happy?
And, the Demon King, who had actually been a great magician since his previous life, was thinking that way.
'I'm sick of it, really.'
Why do you think that just because I can do it, you can do it too?
That in itself is a logical error.
It's healthier to be curious about the identity of Jeong Da-on, who can use mantra magic like Han Jae-young.
Since I had seen many people who had tried to steal even a piece of this vast knowledge since their previous lives, that train of thought was not surprising.
So, what the former Demon King was curious about was something else.
“Doesn’t President Estella know how to use mantra magic? Why me?”
“... ... James Chen can’t experiment on President Estella.”
Furthermore, no matter how much the wizards around her asked how she created mantra magic, Estella would only say, “You have to find a way yourself,” and would not give a proper answer.
And no author had the courage to delve further into President Estella.
So naturally, those who are thirsty have no choice but to dig another well.
Jeong Da-on’s lips twitched at Leila’s answer.
“So... ... In the end, I was easy compared to President Estella.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“... ... Ah, right.”
The corners of Jeong Da-on’s mouth twisted as if he didn’t like something, but in fact, it was so obvious that it was hard to understand why he was upset.
“Because I happened to have a good item.”
Besides, even if you know how to use the spell, you’re not invincible.
If you just neutralize the magic circuit, the magician can easily fall.
“Chen stole the smoke item to subdue you and gave it to someone in Korea... ... I don’t know about that part. The person who confessed his conscience to me just said that he failed.”
As she said that, Leila glanced at Jeong Da-on’s face.
Even though it failed, the dungeon break in the middle of the Korean capital was a pretty famous incident.
If he found out that it was really done to target him, wouldn’t his iron-clad face crack... ... .
“So?”
“If you listen to it, there was even a whistleblower, so why wasn’t James Chen being accused instead of you being falsely accused?”
“That’s why you were pushed out by politics!”
Leila said, genuinely upset.
In fact, it was understandable since it was the cause of all this.
In fact, the politics among the leaders of the Hunter Association, organized by these humans, were the cause of all this.
“The other guys have been tearing apart everything I’ve done, committing illegal acts, and they’ve even accused me of embezzling items!”
The reason Leila Lopez was irreplaceable in the Hunter Association up until now was because of that unique skill.
However, as a result of her efforts, Leila was able to scan inventory as items.
That means.
Leila Lopez, who was irreplaceable, has now become replaceable.
The other executives who considered Leila Lopez a thorn in their side, took advantage of this moment to grab her ankle and drag her down.
“Of course, I’m a human, so I didn’t live uprightly. However, if you invest almost 10 years and investigate, where is there anyone who doesn’t have a speck of dust?”
The number of expensive dungeon materials used as research materials is not correct, and all the warehouse entries and exits for the past 10 years must be investigated.
Doing.
Even the night snack I ate at 10 PM was questioned as to why it was so expensive.
It was an insult that was difficult to endure as a human being.
“I made this item with good intentions, and I have faithfully followed the principles of the association!”
Leila was also not entirely happy to analyze her unique skills one by one and make them into items that anyone could use.
She simply endured it because she thought it was in line with the belief of Estella, the association president, to ‘make more people happy.’
However, what she received in return was the betrayal of those she thought were her colleagues.
“They told me to faithfully cooperate with the police investigation if I really had nothing to complain about. But that was ridiculous.”
It is nearly impossible to prove something that you did not do.
They must have known that, but they all told her to prove it in court if she did nothing wrong.
In fact, it was no different from throwing it away because she was too lazy to think for herself.
Even the president of the Estella Association, whom she had firmly believed in and followed!
Leila had no choice but to grit her teeth.
“The prosecutor in charge of my case is especially a college classmate of James Chen, so if I get investigated, I’ll just get dragged into the swamp even more. Instead, I’ll run away and figure out a way out... ... Are you listening?”
“Yeah, I’m listening.”
While Leila was talking excitedly, Jeong Da-on, who had been trying to hear all of this, seemed to have already lost interest.
“I’m bored.”
“What, what?”
“If you put all humans together, the conclusion is the same no matter where you go... ... Well, that’s all I’ve roughly figured out. Now, I have one more question left.”
As he said that, Jeong Da-on held out his wrist.
And on that wrist... ... .
“This is... ... .”
Leila’s eyes widened.
A bracelet with a snake wrapped around the wrist and a green beryl for the eyes.
A strange flow of magic could be felt.
At first glance, it was not an ordinary item.
“Did the development department of the Hyeonhyeop make this bracelet?”
“Hmm?”
Leila frowned and looked at the bracelet more closely.
“No, no.”
“Are you sure?”
“At least in the 10 years I’ve been in charge of the development department, I’ve never made an item like this.”
Jeong Da-on stared at Leila’s face for a while as she answered.
It seemed as if she was trying to figure out if what Leila had just said was true or not.
Leila swallowed without realizing it.
She had no idea what Jeong Da-on would do.
It wouldn’t be strange if he suddenly stared at her like that and then shot her head with the gun he was holding... ... .
“... ... Okay, I’ve decided.”
Jeong Da-on, who had been looking at Leila without saying anything for a while, said with a faint smile.
It was a smile that seemed ominous just by looking at it.
“Let’s make a deal, Leila Lopez.”
