After Louise’s public challenge went up to the top of the most popular posts. Within a day, the entire tower was overturned.

[Anonymous 24] : Who is Louise Valente???

B[Anonymous 31]: When I asked my senior, he said that he was the person who lost in a match with Gerwin Kruger half a year ago.

ㄴ[Anonymous 35]: He was the head of the sophomore year of the Elemental Faculty. But at that time, he was seriously injured in Dalian and was on leave of absence.

ㄴAnonymous[24]: But are you going to try again? That’s great… … ?

[Anonymous 25] : Overcoming the magic formation haha I wrote down some bullshit on a popular post.

ㄴ[Anonymous 26] : ㅇㅇ It’s management shit. There is no way that you wrote it down, isn’t it a pseudonym?

B[Anonymous 28]: There is a cadet ID certificate underneath. real

B[Anonymous 43]: If it was really cured, it would feel like a knight… … .

Even though he is the 25th son, he is the owner of the UD Group, which is a complete finisher, and the 3rd year undergraduate of the Command School. And one of the special students of the Ivory Tower.

Gerwin Kruger was a cadet with a higher awareness and influence in a sense, who was not behind even the head of the department, who had only three students in each grade.

[Anonymous 26] : He doesn’t want to act as a hero later lol

ㄴ[Anonymous 31] : ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

B[Anonymous 33]: Didn’t you just say it right before you left school?

But why throw such a challenge to such a person?

In an unbelievable situation, the cadets naturally became interested in Louise and began to be re-examined for Dalian half a year ago.

The whole of Babel became agitated over the match a week later.

“Hey you crazy bastard!!!”

The main character of the topic grabbed Lee Se-hun by the neck and shook it.

“It’s nothing! You don’t have to worry about it!!!”

“It’s nothing. You didn’t even give me a notice of murder.”

“You mean that?!”

At the sight of Sehun Lee talking without blinking an eye, Louise felt as if her stomach was turned upside down.

I thought it was something related to a neck injury because it was about overcoming trauma, but I thought it was going to be a challenge. In the sudden situation, Louise went beyond embarrassment and even doubt arose.

‘Didn’t this bastard aim for this from the beginning?’

No matter how much he was able to use the Spirit Magic, he was just starting out. In addition, for the past half year, all of his skills were in a state of deteriorating because he had only been focusing on rehabilitation.

But what about hanging out with that bastard Gerwin who has grown up for half a year? No matter how I looked at it, I could only feel that he was trying to deal with himself.

‘no… … It can’t be, but… … still… … .’

When Louise was making a complicated expression in a situation she couldn’t understand. Sehun Lee spoke calmly.

“Calm down. Would you have done this without thinking?”

“… … ha.”

Louise took a deep breath and unwrapped Lee Se-hun’s wrinkled collar, and sat down on the chair.

“okay. Of course, what were you thinking? you’re going to be bored… … .”

I was embarrassed because the scale was huge, but in a way, it was not like this when I was teaching the basics of magic spells.

Louise, who had half resigned, looked at Lee Se-hoon, who looked relaxed, and asked.

“So what do you think?”

“As I said before, one’s will is more important than accurate calculations for word-spirit magic. It’s an instinctive magic, so the unconscious influence is huge. Now, what does this mean?”

“… … Are you sensitive to the user’s condition?”

“Exactly.”

When creating flames with Spirit Magic. If you are a magician who likes fire, it is possible to create more powerful and colorful flames.

On the other hand, if the wizard is traumatized by the flame, it is difficult to control, and the magic may not appear at all.

This is because unconsciously, the desire to not see the flames may be reflected.

“I don’t know if you’ll admit it, but you’re afraid of using magic because of an incident half a year ago. That must be the reason why the spherical magic that should have succeeded yesterday was only half successful.”

“… … It could be.”

“Fortunately, I have a greater desire to use magic, but as of right now, the restrictions are too severe. To put it simply… … Do you feel like you are running on two legs instead of running on all fours?”

“That parable… … .”

“That’s how real your talent is.”

The nightmare of not being able to use magic has been overcome with the word magic, but the emotional shock and psychological anxiety experienced at that time is not resolved at once.

Just as scars remain even when wounds are healed, remnants still remain deep in Louise’s unconscious.

‘Besides, there is a possibility of being abused if left as it is.’

Before the return, the riotous dog, who had become incapacitated by magic, accepted the proposal of a group called 『Dawning 黎明』, who claimed that it could be cured, and underwent an illegal human experiment.

In the process, the entire body’s magic circuit was remodeled and a device called a ‘leash’ was planted.

‘I don’t know how I’m going to use my magic again, like the magic erosion machine in front of me. So this time, I will deal with it.’

The best way is to root out the eroded magic power, but Louise’s condition isn’t good yet, so there’s a risk of the magic formation getting worse.

So, for now, it was best to overcome the trauma that caused it.

“I don’t know anything else, but this match is absolutely necessary to overcome this trauma. Please understand even if it is difficult.”

Louise sighed deeply at Lee Se-hoon’s serious talk.

“okay. what you have to do Because I did anything.”

“Thank you for knowing.”

“But even if I lose, won’t the trauma get worse? If it was such an important thing, I should have done it more carefully… … .”

Seeing Louise muttering with a dissatisfied expression, Sehun Lee burst out laughing.

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“What?”

“You can’t lose to a guy like that.”

Whether it’s Jurgen’s 25th son or whatever, his talent is not light enough to be beaten by a kid he’d never heard of before his return.

At the story of Lee Se-hoon with conviction, Louise glanced at him, and then smiled.

“It’s going to be crazy.”

“Don’t talk, get ready. I said it was possible, but I never said that I had free time.”

“Okay. What are you doing today? Since it’s a battle, do you practice words and phrases related to battle?”

Seeing Louise replying happily as if she was angry when, Sehun Lee took out the sanitary gloves he had already brought and answered.

“test.”

“… … yes?”

Seeing the puzzled look of Louise, Sehun Lee answered again, pulling the glove tightly.

“Oral examination.”

* * *

The 2nd Ward of Ascus.

People passing by the hallway stopped walking with a surprised expression, and a black-haired girl walked calmly through them.

Some people chattered at the appearance of Erica, an indifferent person who didn’t even blink while receiving the attention of the people around her, who had only heard about it through rumors.

“Is that person Erica? A first-year department head in Ur.”

“I think that’s right. What did you come here for? There doesn’t seem to be any injuries.”

“Why? Sehun Lee or the head of the department of Borsippa’s freshman year is hospitalized. You must have come to see him.”

“her. Then the rumors before… … .”

They whisper something as if it’s interesting. Erica’s keen senses captured the conversation perfectly, but she moved on without paying attention.

This is because he is not idle enough to respond to such trivial rumors one by one, and above all else, it is important to check Lee Se-Hoon’s condition right now.

‘It’s not badly hurt, but you have to check it properly.’

The sharpening of the white long sword that was improvised at the auction house.

It was possible because of his delicate sense that he did not allow even the slightest error in his ‘artistic’, which was set up using a technique that was no different than a similar sword.

But what if I lost that sense due to this injury? It was a huge loss for the blacksmith industry as well as for Erica.

‘If that’s the case… … I just don’t pass it on.’

Jake broke out in a cold sweat every time he made eye contact with him. As Erika’s expression grew colder as she recalled that scene.

“hey!!!”

A shout echoed through the door.

Erika’s gaze naturally turned to the nameplate at the loud cry that easily broke through the soundproofing of the hospital room, which had never been heard of chatter.

[Room 204] [Louis Valente]

After confirming that it was the hospital room she was looking for, Erica immediately opened the door and went inside.

Then he saw a silver-haired girl sitting on a chair and a black-haired young man standing opposite him.

Even though they were a little closer, it wasn’t that strange, but the problem was what the two of them were doing.

“I’m going to lose my hearing, man.”

Lee Se-hoon is touching every corner of Louise’s mouth with his right hand, frowned as if he was injured.

“Crying rice.”

And Louise, with her mouth open as if she was at the dentist, and her eyes trembling with shame and anger.

“… … .”

When Erika was staring blankly at the entrance at the scene where she couldn’t understand what she was doing even by looking at it. The two noticed the appearance later.

“uh? Why did you come here?”

“Wow! What, what?! who!!”

Lee Se-hoon, who looks at him curiously, and Louise, whose face is dyed bright red and panicked.

In response to the two people’s polar opposite reactions, Erica calmly talked about the business.

“Myers told me there was an urgent matter, so I entrusted them with the things I asked for.”

“okay? I have nothing to do today… … .”

“It happened suddenly.”

In any case, Erica resolutely says that it has happened. In response, Sehun Lee realized what had happened and smiled bitterly.

“Okay. So what did you ask for?”

“here.”

A small case that comes out of Erica’s subspace pocket. Sehun Lee, who was handed it, immediately unlocked the lock and looked at the object.

A silvery metal ingot with a small flame sealed in the transparent center. Louise, who saw it next to Sehun Lee, made a puzzled expression.

“what. Isn’t that projection alloy?”

“right.”

A special metal that was used in the self-introduction class in the first week of admission.

Sehun Lee, taking out the projection alloy from the inside of the case, lightly inspected the condition.

[Projection alloy]

[Rating: Advanced] [Quality: Best]

An alloy with extremely high magic sensitivity.

The process of smelting, forging, and polishing can be omitted, and the shape can be changed according to the given magic power.

If reprocessing is attempted after deformation is complete, durability will drop sharply.

*You can change the shape by giving it magical power.

“I sent you a good one.”

Originally, projection alloy was not suitable for use in making proper weapons, but at this level of quality, it is well worth using.

The moment Lee Se-hoon was about to be satisfied with Jake’s work.

“I was saved.”

Erica spoke in a firm voice.

“… … okay?”

“yes. I saved it, not Myers.”

Erika speaks firmly, as if not to be mistaken. Seeing that, Sehun Lee realized what he wanted and nodded his head.

“Mmm. That’s great.”

“… … .”

“Next time if something like this happens, I’ll have to ask you first. Are you okay though?”

“However much.”

After talking one after another, Erica nodded her head satisfactorily. When Sehun Lee was smiling at that easy-to-understand reaction.

“hey.”

Louise, who was sitting across from him, tapped Sehun Lee’s arm.

“So what are you going to do with this? Please explain quickly.”

“okay. What’s so urgent? … Oh, you can go back now. great job.”

“… … .”

At Lee Se-hun’s story, Erica stared at the projection alloy and the two of them, and slowly opened her mouth.

“Are you making weapons from now on?”

“What, right?”

“Then I’ll see you too.”

“Well? that… … .”

“What is he saying now?”

The voice that came out before Sehun Lee. Louise, who frowned, glared at Erica as if annoyed.

“When you are done, leave. Do not disturb.”

“… … .”

“Can’t you hear me? Get out of my room.”

At the nervous Louise’s story, Erica looked at him silently, and then looked at Lee Se-hun again as if nothing had happened.

“I want to see you too.”

Instead of having a conversation, Erika ignores her like an invisible person. Louise’s eyes were distorted and teeth were split in response to that blatant and naive response.

fast-

The air that has cooled in the blink of an eye and the magical power that fluctuates as if responding to the feelings of the two of them. Lee Se-hoon looked at him pathetic in the atmosphere that quickly became harsh.

“Fighting over nothing… … If you are curious, go see it.”

“yes.”

“hey!”

Louise shouted and protested fiercely, but Sehun Lee approached without blinking an eye.

“now. waste of time Open your mouth quickly.”

“Ugh… … .”

Louise glared at Lee Se-hoon with his fingers as if protesting, then sighed and opened his mouth again.

Sehun Lee, who had changed into new sanitary gloves, put his finger in Louise’s mouth again and gently stroked the inside, carefully examining it.

“To go on with the explanation, you are not compatible with weapons like wands and staff. The activation process is much shorter than normal magic.”

“What does that matter?”

Erica asks a question on behalf of Louise, who is unable to speak because of the examination. Sehun Lee calmly explained the question.

“In order to use a weapon properly, it needs to be used as a part of the body by infusing it with refined magical power, but he only refines his magic in his mouth.”

“It’s a regional problem.”

“right. If you bite into a weapon, you can put refined magic into it, but then the child cannot use magic.”

In the end, those who use Speech and Spirit magic only use things that support their physical abilities, or they need a ‘exclusive weapon’ suitable for their shape.

“And this oral examination is part of the process for making such a special weapon. Do you understand now?”

“… … .”

I couldn’t figure out how making a special weapon and fumbling in my mouth were related, but Louise nodded her head slightly, saying so.

This is because, despite his eccentric personality, he realized that Lee Se-hoon did not lie.

‘Still, let him go… … .’

Erika is staring intently at Lee Se-hun, who is looking into her mouth, to be precise.

As she looked at the figure who didn’t even look at her like she just did, Louise felt strangely annoyed.

‘Why don’t you like it so much?’

It’s not a good first impression, so just seeing your face makes me strangely annoyed.

In particular, maybe it was because of the conversation, but strangely, it was because of the feeling that he had won, as if he had won.

When Louise saw that figure and was about to grind her teeth without knowing it.

“Hey. I have my hands.”

“ah. missing child.”

When Louise opened her mouth again in surprise, Sehun Lee stroked her molars.

“If possible, don’t grind your teeth with your bare mouth. It hurts when I eat something cold later.”

Louise snorted at Lee Se-hoon’s calm advice.

“Slowly to frost.”

“What is the old man? This is a story that turns into blood and flesh.”

“Sir.”

At the sight of Louise pretending to be listening, Sehun Lee looked at him with a strange expression.

That’s because all of the advice I just gave was the words my future self, the gangster, had told me.

‘but. You don’t know until you’re old.’

A riotous dog who frowned when he brought ice cream. Lee Se-hoon, who remembered that scene, laughed bitterly, and Louise narrowed her eyes and bit her teeth tightly.

“Ugh! Hey, you just bit on purpose.”

“Mora.”

“I don’t know what I don’t know. Just this… … .”

“Huh?! hey! Don’t grab your tongue and crave it!”

The two of them quarreled while examining their mouths. Erika, who was watching it from the side, made a strange expression.

‘… … You look familiar.’

Even if we had met since the first day of hospitalization, it would have been a little over a week now, but it feels familiar as if we’ve known each other for years.

In particular, Lee Se-hoon, who showed a strange sense of distance no matter who he was dealing with, showed such intimacy, he even felt like a different person.

“… … .”

At the heterogeneous sight, for the first time, Erica caught the image of a silver-haired girl, Louise Valente, who was sitting opposite her.

Maybe there are other people who need to be more wary than Jake Myers or Ryu Eun-ha, the head of the department.

So Erika’s evaluation of Louise changed.

‘That’s a dirty eye opener.’

The gap between the two grew even deeper.
