Hermit Wizard

* * *

How long did you walk out of the house? I saw how different the neighborhood looked yesterday. I went to the grocery store about this time yesterday, so it's only been 24 hours. It was completely changed in just 24 hours.

There are no civilians on the street! Cars run around a bit, but I can't find anyone who walks around. If I wanted to see something like a man, I was a soldier in a mottled green combat suit.

Ah, when I look at the military uniform, I suddenly remember that unpleasant military service text I received yesterday. I was completely forgetting that I didn't know about the broadcaster.

When I walked a few minutes to a large grocery store in the main compound basement, it was no big deal. I wonder why there are no people on the street because everyone in this neighborhood is here.

“Sir! Ramon is limited to one box for you! This is my client! Ahhh! Don't push, sir! ”

Mart staff desperately tried to control the guests, but there was no business pushing them in.

The global phenomenon, including yesterday's Mapo Bridge incident, seemed to have instilled tremendous anxiety in people's minds. Every dizzy corner is full of people. Wow, this is the only private device I've ever heard.

I simply finished shopping and dragged a much tighter cart towards the counter, where I caught my eye.

“What? Look at him? ”

She's about six years old. A girl grabs and pulls on a woman's closet that looks like her mother.

“Mom! Ice cream! Ice cream!”

“Choi Soo-jin! Seriously, stop pulling your clothes! Why did you follow me all the way here? ”

“You didn't even let me go to kindergarten today! I'm bored at home! ”

Around the body of the girl who is whistling because she wants to eat ice cream, there is a puddle of water that only I can recognize.

As I said before, the only proper wizard on this planet is probably me. At least I don't have the knowledge to nurture a wizard in this world.

So, was I the only one on this planet with this talent? The correct answer is' No. ’C.

Not as much as I was when I was a kid, but children with magical talents can see me sometimes. I have to emphasize here, but I see it every once in a while. You've only seen three people in two years since you moved to this neighborhood?

And now my gaze is on that kid because the waves that bend over became more pronounced than ever before. I've never heard of him, by the way. Choi Soo-jin?

“Is there a reason why the waves are so sudden? Something must have happened while I didn't see it. ”

I passed by my mother's side with such a hand. It's an invisible talent, but what? And now I'm standing in the way of that, and I'm like, "Oh, you have a really great magician talent. If we find the right teacher, we'll be great.” Should I let you know? I don't believe him anyway, and there's no teacher in the world who can teach him. Nana Parvasch will never teach.

I kept walking like that, and I had to stop walking again.

“Hey, what day is it today? All the real people in the neighborhood come to the grocery store, but? ”

This time it's a face I don't remember. But there are waves all over the body. There's even as big a wave as the kid I just saw!

A tall boy who doesn't want to be on my shoulders. You look like a junior. No, probably a premature elementary school student. Children with magical talents begin to degenerate quickly if they don't open the circuit before puberty.

Moreover, a strong wave of that magnitude is usually the force seen at the age of six. I'm not saying it, but he's a genius, too.

“Do you know me? ”

Suddenly, she stands still and stares at me, and the boy looks at me with strange eyes and asks.

“Oh, no. It's like a kid I know. But it's not because I looked closely. ”

Roughly surrounds and urges you to walk again.

At this point, I start to feel uncomfortable. How many more steps did he take? I arrived at the counter and took out what was in the cart. And...

“Oh, shit. What the hell is going on? ”

I had no choice but to stiffen it.

“Yes? Guest? Let me help you with the math. A guest?”

The female reckoner who stands before my eyes looks suspiciously at me.

Late 20s or early 30s? No matter how you look, it's not under twenty. Even if you were born with a wizard's talent, if you don't develop it, the circuit should be completely degraded.

But there was a wave flowing around her as powerful as the children I met today.

The talent of a wizard who doesn't fit his age. That too, two in a row.

I swallowed up the curse that came up my throat. Damn it, why the hell is this world suddenly going so crazy?
