Hermit Wizard

* * *

Kim Kyung-hwan made an appointment to meet with Huangsoo Forest immediately. The place where the two reunited was the park where they had a conversation about the identity of their former emitters.

Sit side by side on the bench with the guards away from each other. The Yellow Forest protects the surrounding sound. As soon as I checked it, Kim Kyung-hwan opened his mouth.

“· · · · in the government of Ireland! ”

“Wait a minute.”

The Yellow Forest cuts off his words and speaks first.

“I'll let you know because I think the subject is that way. The conversation we're going to have from now on, maybe the eLaser can hear it. ”

“· · · What?! ”

Yellow Forest explains. Even when the two of you met last time and had a conversation with him who was convinced that the identity of the e-laser was human, he was listening.

Kim Kyung-hwan's face pales.

“System, there was no such clause in the contract! ”

“There was no provision for that. ”

“So, you can hear everything I say? Like it's wired? ”

The Yellow Forest shakes its head.

“That's not it. The moment we talk about it with the topic, the power of the contract that is hidden in our unconscious triggers. And say that the laser will be able to listen to the conversation for some time. The device he planted in case he leaked his identity to someone else. The penalty will, of course, be triggered, but he needs to know how far he's blown the information. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan opens her mouth with a frightened expression.

“Of course, talking between us is not a breach of contract, but we can hear the conversation. I asked for it, and this time I stated it in my contract. I'm afraid I might eavesdrop on a conversation I don't care about. If you look at your contract later, there will be a phrase added to it. I asked for that, too. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan hesitates to make a one-shot look at the unimaginable content.

“Then you'll hear 100 percent of what I'm going to say. ”

I ponder for a moment and open my mouth.

“· · · Yes. The e-laser is a fact we already know. It doesn't matter. I think I need to tell you something. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan overcame fear and reluctance. Because I thought it was a story that must be told to the Yellow Forest.

“The government has uncovered the identity of the e-laser. I think the e-laser already knows that. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan explained what he learned. We know that the identity of Iraser is Korean named Yoon Min-jun, and that he is the firstborn who caused the Busan crisis.

There was no great shaking on the face of the eclipse forest. Kim Kyung-hwan thought it was because he was conscious of the eyes around him. However, the words that followed were a little different from Kim Kyung-hwan's expectations.

“I expected it to be younger than I thought. ”

The Yellow Forest moved with him for close to a few months in the world. In the process, the eLaser used words and words close to generations nowadays, as opposed to teaching magic in dreams.

“By the way, you're 23 years old. ”

“I still can't believe it. How did you get on that slope? How the hell did he learn magic? ”

“Possibly a fake identity. The real Yoon Min Joon is not dead, and the heterosexual Irazer may be doing it. ”

“The possibilities are also borne in mind by the government. But as soon as the identity is discovered, I think the family is more likely to be who they are because of the evaporation. Moreover · · ·. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan hesitates for a moment and says:

“The government did some background research, but Yoon Min-jun seems likely to have evolved his abilities as a wizard before the channel opened. If that's true, the odds of being a xenophobe are slimmer. ”

“Before the channel opened, you were a wizard? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan nodded.

“Surprisingly, he went to high school. After Yoon Min-jun returned to Korea to cover his tracks, he interviewed the teachers and classmates in charge of the government. Reasonable excuse, individually. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan said that his words would be communicated to Yoon Min-jun. It was information I was trying to convey to the laser through the Yellow Forest anyway. Intermediate courses have been omitted, but nothing else.

“By the way?”

“There were few episodes of Yoon Min-jun that they remembered. I guess I slept in school almost all day. However, a strange part of identifying their current address came out. ”

His eyes became more serious.

“There are some people who share some strange things with Yoon Min-jun and his classmates in high school. There are exactly 12 people who have graduated from school and have had an unknown illness and are still hospitalized since then. At the time of the outbreak, it was all before the channel opened. ”

I stammer my memory and join my words.

“What they have in common is that Yoon Min-jun and I have actually bullied or beaten Yoon Min-jun in school. ”

“Hit?”

If he was an e-laser, he wouldn't have just been hit. The Yellow Forest was difficult to trust.

“It's different what grade they were in. But the power outbreak is similar. After I graduated from high school, I started getting sick less than a year ago. They all have different symptoms. That's why they didn't seem to recognize each other's connection. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan recited what he remembered. They suffered from a mysterious disease that no hospital could find the cause and cure for.

From one day on, the body smelled rotten. Dozens and dozens of nipple-like swells continue to appear on your face, including both nipples and nipples. A person who suffers from symptoms that are unconditional, regardless of their will, when they come into contact with the bare flesh of another person. People who turn to yellowish mucous membranes that don't erase when sweat is on their clothes, etc.

In common, most of the symptoms were of a type that made it difficult to lead a normal social life, rather than causing direct physical pain. All 12 of them were living in hospitals, giving up college, dropping out of school, or quitting their jobs, although the timing of the outbreak varied slightly.

“Oh, there's only one exception. ”

The most intimidating thing was the boy who bullied Yoon Min Joon most in high school. According to his classmate's testimony, Yoon Min Joon's face had been thrown into a conventional toilet.

“He's a little complex. ”

He said his anus literally swelled up as much as his fist, so he couldn't stool normally. The bigger problem was that acute diarrhea did not stop in that state. It is said that the faucet was clogged and the water was pouring out, and that it was impossible to live a daily life, and every second time I saw a job, I suffered from extreme pain.

The wilderness that I heard there mutters quietly.

“Almost, it's a curse. ”

I keep my horses in my mind.

“Instead of taking revenge on purpose, did you graduate and turn your hand? There's a better chance of that than when you graduated from school that you could use magic all of a sudden. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan nodded.

It seemed that the person who bullied him was deliberately chosen in case of suspicion if his illness was repeated the next day. After 1-2 years, the grudge was not forgotten, but the fact that he had used his hands was not even a hypnotist.

Kim Kyung-hwan thinks on the one hand. He didn't use magic when he was being harassed. So Yoon Min-jun was doing what he imagined in his head.

“The bottom line is, you could have used magic before the channel opened? Unique magic that has not been handed over to the Gentiles? ”

The Yellow Forest stammers its memory and nods.

“Instructor Kaifu once told me it wasn't impossible. People who bloom their own talents often don't need to be taught. In the case of the Earth, it is rather unusual that we cannot find such cases before the channel is opened. ”

It was one of the unsolved mysteries left to humanity. Why didn't anyone express the magician's talent before the channel opened?

Perhaps Yoon Min Joon was the only case that has been discovered so far.

“So what do you intend to do? ”

Kim Kyung-hwan replies with a gloomy face.

“You have to stay as you are. Yesterday, he asked me if I didn't know Yoon Min Joon. Keep the shijimi off. ”

“Yeah, that's a wise idea. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“One more time. Just one more mission and my contractual obligations will be over. You have to stay calm until the e-laser calls. It's stuck in the house. ”

“Did the e-laser ever say anything about me? ”

After the Hun Leung crisis, all he said was to wait until he called again. After that, there was no link between Kim Kyung-hwan and the laser, other than to convey the information through the Yellow Forest.

“Not really. Why, do you care? ”

“· · · Of course I don't care. ”

“The four contracts do not contain provisions such as the duties to be performed. You just have to learn magic as you're taught. It's an unmatched contract for you. Why are you strangling the e-laser like that? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan only looked at the ground with a shaky eye and did not answer the question. The Yellow Forest farts with an incomprehensible expression.

“I don't think you need to worry that the laser won't hurt you. It is also bound by the binding nature of the contract. ”

“No, I don't really worry about that. ”

I think of the Huangryo Forest with the eyes of Kim Kyung-hwan who waits.

Fortunately or unfortunately, they are a very useful tool for e-lasers. I know his real name, but I won't lay a hand on him while breaking the contract just because he's reluctant.

Personalizing two words: efficiency and rationality would probably be an emitter. Huangwoom did not expect any human emotions, such as conscience or recognition, from the e-laser, but his pragmatic thinking about useful tools was trusting.

“Anyway, thanks for the info. I don't need to deliver it separately. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan hastily stopped the forest from happening.

“Oh, wait a minute. There's one more thing. ”

“What is it?”

“I look like I've become a blood vessel trying to find an e-laser in China. But I don't think I have a clue, so I have information that I'm looking for another wizard in Korea. Guess there's a connection. ”

“You're the only Korean wizard on a government basis. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan hesitates.

“Be careful, too. ”

“I would already be classified as a waste in government data. We fooled our government, but does China know that? ”

“But you're better than all the other trainees. · · · Eyes are also visible. I could walk around. ”

“So I can be a target? ”

“· · · Yes. Be careful."

The Yellow Forest did not take it very seriously. Kim Kyung-hwan's gaze quietly descends on her shoulders as she turns around and walks. He sat there for a while longer without being noticed until the eclipse had completely disappeared from view.

Incheon Airport Admission Review Unit.

A young Oriental man handed out an American passport. While only visible as a minor, passport information indicated that he was in his mid-20s. The admissibility examiner asks in English.

“Master Simatani? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

The immigration officer mutters. By the way, most Japanese people with the name Saburo are old people. It's unusual to hit a young person, but it swallows up the idea.

“You received a D6 visa? ”

The Japanese-born nods.

D6 Visas are for those who are invited to enter the country by religious or social services, and are issued to persons who will only be engaged in religious and social work after entering the country.

There were few people entering Incheon Airport with this visa for a few days. The admissions examiner asks with a slightly loosened expression.

“Do you belong to GIBW? ”

“That's right.”

GIBW, Global Initiative for a Better World. The largest relief foundation in the world was based in the United States.

“A lot of my colleagues came in this week. ”

“Yeah, I'm a little late. ”

“Are you transferring directly to Busan? ”

“Exactly.”

The number of citizens who have lost their living quarters since the Busan crisis has been hard to count. GIBW was dispatching a large group of relief workers to conduct relief efforts against them. The government, which was hesitant to grant access to the private sector because the location was near the channel, would eventually raise its hands.

“You've come to do a good job. Welcome to Korea. ”

The judge stamps the passport without any doubt. The master, who received it, replied brightly with a laugh and went to find Jim.

“Hmm? ”

There were such a crowd that caught his eye. There are about six men in plain clothes waiting for their luggage near the conveyor belt. The front plate looked like a passenger on a plane from the north coast of China.

“· · · Look at them? ”

Master rolls his mouth up as if it were interesting. I tried to hide it, but I couldn't deceive his senses.

‘Three of them are wizards. That's quite a level, too. You can bring it to any country training center. It's a top class. ’

Master, who was staring at them for a while, turned his gaze within. It is human wizards who deserve to be recovered immediately after the discovery, according to the organization's instructions, but the place and timing were poor.

Once there are too many humans around. Moreover, the gathering of executives and apprentices in Korea is a far more important goal than the wizards.

I think of them as masters, carving their faces into my memory. Are they Chinese wizards? I should inform HQ. For later.

Knowing the arrangement, date, and face is not difficult to determine. He decides to keep the prey in front of his eyes for later. He finds his luggage and walks out of the entrance door quietly.

Contrary to what he told the admissions officer, he had no intention of going to Busan at all. Saburo took a taxi outside the airport and headed straight for a hotel in downtown Seoul.
