Chapter 312: Jung Hayan’s Instruction Manual (6)

No matter how careful she got, Jung Hayan wouldn’t be able to handle things this carefully. It was even impossible to detect where the magic power came from.

The magical power was different from anyone I knew, and it felt like the spell was completed by twisting it two or three times. Even if she had a powerful magical ability, it was correct to think that someone from the outside helped.

It was in an instant that I quickly turned my gaze. This was because I was very bothered that Han Sora wasn’t in this room.

If the Republic side found out that black magic was also involved, we may also be in a dangerous situation.

Using Han Sora as a discarded hand was a problem that solved everything, but it was a waste to throw away the Black Wizard, which was now gaining momentum in level-up.

‘It doesn’t make sense.’

When I was indulged in all sorts of thoughts, it was Celia’s Yuno Kasugano who spoke. When I nodded and opened my mouth, I could see her nodding.

“Master, no, Lee Kiyoung-nim. Are you looking for something…?”

“It’s not really anything important… Have you seen Han Sora from our guild?”

“Ah… Probably in her room. I heard that she wasn’t feeling well… Is there any problem? Or have you found anything?”

“It’s something uncertain to say, but I think I caught a clue. Kasugano-nim, please wrap this up. This is a sample I collected. I think you can take all the similar things. In particular, you must take the magic crystal. It may be used for clues or new research later.”

“Ah…”

“I think it’s a catalyst that can be used as a high-end material. I’m not sure what this is, either.”

Of course, I thought it would be better for me to keep the compressed catalyst. I had to see if there was any other reaction.

“Yes. Okay.”

“Cha Hee-ra will take over the external work. If there is an official announcement, I will come back here. If possible, look for traces that have occurred in other areas, and take whatever it’s needed.”

“Yes. Please do as you please.”

“And I’m asking just in case… Is it possible for you to track this magic?”

“I don’t know in detail. I’ll have to look at it a little bit more, but even if it’s traceable, I’m going to spend a lot of time on it.”

“And with your eyes…”

“I-I’m sorry, but it’s not something I can see whenever I want… But I think it would be better to get out of Laios soon.”

“What?”

“A-Actually…”

She was taking a long time. Of course, I started to get impatient. As soon as I spoke, I could see her starting to speak as well.

“You can talk.”

“I could see a scene where the city was ruined when the magic fell. Of course, it was only a short time… the time is not accurate either…”

‘What the hell is this again…’

I swallowed hard.

“I was wondering whether I should tell Lee Kiyoung-nim or not…”

‘Is there anything to think about? Of course, she has to tell me.’

It had to be a little questionable, but I realized why she hesitated to tell me when she started to talk again.

“I also don’t know what the consequences of the future I’m telling are. Unlike the past, the future has the potential to change even with a tiny thing… if Lee Kiyoung has anything to do with the future I’ve seen… then, maybe what I’ve said will create the original future.”

“Are you saying that there’s a possibility that it’s going in the original way because you’re conscious of the future?”

“In short, yes. What I have said now may also be one of the processes that will lead to the future I see. Of course, the opposite can happen… I decided that it would be better to tell you as it could be dangerous. I don’t know what will happen after, so you should think about getting out of Laios first.”

“I understand what you’re saying.”

I understood very clearly. I was sure she was worried that something might happen because she just told me about the future. Even if an average villager had heard this, the future was likely to be distorted. They would indeed warn people to leave the town.

Since I was a powerful man who could move many people, I might be at the center of this case. The act of trying to stop the future Yuno Kasugano saw may be a catalyst for accelerating things.

‘It’s complicated…’

Obviously, there were many things to be careful about when she had only seen a fragmentary scene. Kasugano, in the first round, had to live a life where she was unhappy because she slipped her tongue.

“For now… I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Please move carefully.”

“Oh. Rather than that… about Laios…”

“There is no official announcement yet. Just now, Cha Hee-ra formally requested the State to dispatch an investigation team, and Laios also accepted it. As concerns about secondary damage, they care more about civilians in their own country than us. It’s the same for the expert who came to our delegation. If you want…”

“No, it’s okay.”

It was obvious as to what they would say anyway. They would have expressed a sincere consolation to the Republic, preparing itself if anything happens, and said that they were doing their best to cope with this situation.

Even in a neutral country, the current situation was problematic. They could twist the situation politically if they wanted. As it was such a sensitive matter, they wouldn’t be able to settle their positions immediately.

In fact, I was worried about how Laios would come out, but there was a problem that was bothering me more. Anxiety began to amplify in the story about a sea of fire in Laios.

‘Will it be Jung Hayan?’

It was very likely. It was Jung Hayan who caused this accident from the first round, too. The story was that from now on, there would be a series of incidents that could provoke Jung Hayan, and the explosion, due to her meltdown, would destroy Laios.

Although the possibility was low, this was a phenomenon such as an external attack or natural disaster. There was also a theory that it would go into ruins as the second impact begins. Still, obviously, the first story was more likely.

It was indeed good that Yuno Kasugano told me. Her remarks reminded me of the need to be careful even now.

‘I just have to be careful.’

Be careful not to irritate her as much as possible, and once again prevent her from having a meltdown. Of course, it was important to find Han Sora before that.

‘Why is it so complicated?’

Things seemed to have gone twisted, but the top priority was to erase the traces and take care of Jung Hayan.

As I walked, lost in thoughts, I could see the accommodation right away. Unlike before, when it was peaceful, the Red Mercenary members were strictly controlling others’ entry.

Even I, too, went through a simple procedure. I didn’t get upset. That kind of check was definitely something they had to do.

After entering, I went straight to Han Sora’s room and started knocking on the door. There wasn’t much reaction, so I opened the door right away, and I could see her sitting quietly on the couch.

“Sora-ssi.”

“Oh… Yes. Vice Guild Master.”

“You know why I came, right?”

“Not exactly… what is it?”

“Don’t play innocent with me.”

“Is it because of what happened outside…? I heard that something happened. I’m sorry that I couldn’t help because I wasn’t feeling well.”

Definitely, her acting skills were at a high level. She had developed in this aspect in the first place, so she didn’t fall behind with Kim Ye-ri and Ahn Ki-mo. I even wondered about whether she didn’t know anything.

‘Does she really not know?’

I thought about it for a moment, but I could see a feeling of fear in her eyes, so I thought it wasn’t that. She was not afraid of me.

‘She must be afraid of Jung Hayan.’

It was clear that Jung Hayan had firmly warned her not to speak of this matter. That was not acting to screw me up. It was the struggle for her own life.

“Han Sora-ssi. I don’t have time to do this. I know what you’re worried about, but I’d like you to speak quickly. I need to figure out what’s going on. It’s okay if you’re worried about Jung Hayan. I’ll take care of it as far as I can.”

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Vice Guild Master. R-Really…”

“Speak quickly. I don’t have time.”

“I really don’t know. W-why are you doing this?”

However, her eyes were trembling. I didn’t know what she was imagining, but I could see her pupils, arms, and legs shaking.

It seemed like her whole body was telling me not to do this, begging for me not to ask her.

I started off a little poorly, but, naturally, I felt sorry for some reason. However, I was not in a position to take care of her.

“Please don’t do this. I really don’t know anything.”

‘Don’t do what.’

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“I need to know what’s going on so I can fix it, Sora-ssi. I know roughly everything. That you’re related with what happened today.”

“Really…”

It already consumed much time. Naturally, I approached her, and she looked confused.

Seeing her crouching as far as she can, I felt that she wanted to hide something. I grabbed her arm, and I saw a face looking up at me as if telling me not to do this.

As she chanted simple magic, her top would be split in half. Of course, the scene I expected came into my eyes. A large black speck was covering her chest.

‘The phenomenon of magic power exhaustion.’

It was the perfect proof. Of course, the voice of excuse burst out of Han Sora’s mouth.

“This, this is not that. That’s not what you’re thinking!”

She mumbled and shouted as if she was startled, but the evidence was so clear. Han Sora and Jung Hayan did this.

“It’s really a misunderstanding. This is I… I mean. It’s a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding, my ass…”

“You’re wrong. This is a misunderstanding. Yes! A-a misunderstanding! Please… please save me.”

“It’s fine.”

“H… Help me.”

“Why am I…?”

She, who mumbled with her body trembling, quickly realized that I was not the one who opened my mouth. As I looked behind without even knowing it, I could see Jung Hayan looking here.

‘Fuck…’
