The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Chapter 32 Arena (3)

“what is your identity?”

Na Yerin folded her arms to hide her trembling hands.

But she couldn’t hide the trembling in her legs.

“It’s pathetic. Sit down. If the conversation lasts too long, all of your subordinates may die.”

Soon-won looked at his subordinates who were suffering from being crushed flat on the floor.

Blood was oozing from his nose, mouth, and ears because the force of gravity was so heavy.

Na Yerin saw it and bit her lip.

“If you’re going to take your subordinates hostage, it’s better to give up. Those guys can replace anything they want.”

It wasn’t a bluff, it really seemed that way.

“But you only have one life, right? If you keep refusing to talk, one way is to just kill you and leave.”

At those words, Na Ye-rin sighed and sighed.

She sat down slowly.

“What do you want from me?”

“Now you are asking the right question.”

Nayerin recalled what she had said before she herself.

What she was, she asked.

“I ask questions and you answer them. Every time you break this, I’m going to break one of your fingers.”

Soon-won made sure who was G and who was Z.

Na Ye-rin looked at Soon-won’s expression and realized that she was sincere.

“Give me the artifacts you stole first.”

“A Stolen Artifact?”

Na Yerin had a look on her face asking what that meant.

“Isn’t this what I stole from the transport vehicle at JW Workshop?”

“Maybe that’s why I’m doing this… .”

Na Yerin with an absurd expression on her face.

Soon-won frowned.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh no. not that.”

Na Yerin hurriedly picked up her words and put them in.

In the meantime, I’ve been in the top position.

I kept forgetting how to filter out your words.

“Are you a wizard hired by JW Workshop?”

“The question would have been me? Warning, this is the last time. One more question and you’ll really get a finger. okay?”

“… Oh, I see.”

Na Ye-rin hurriedly walked to the chest of drawers and returned the artifact she had stolen from the vehicle of the JW workshop to Soon-won.

“Who ordered this to be stolen? Is it your dogma?”

“••.okay.”

Soon-won glanced at his crystal ball.

Seeing that the color does not change is false

He didn’t speak.

“that… .

“Yeah, it will change color if you lie. Then don’t you wonder what I’ll do to you?”

Na Yerin swallowed her saliva.

If he had come from the Magic Kingdom, he would not have acted like torture against the law, but he looked like a mercenary hired by the JW Workshop.

There was no limit to the characteristics of such people.

all. He was someone who would do anything for money.

“I don’t know how much I got from JW Workshop, but I’ll give you three times that amount, so why don’t you stick with me?”

“Is that just a question?”

Soon-won grabbed Na Ye-rin’s hand and grabbed her new little finger.

“Huh? Nope! Nope! Talk to yourself.”

“okay?”

Soon-won chuckled.

It was a look on his face that he knew and wanted to see.

“Where do you get your monsters from?”

At the very least, it became clear that the arena was not captured by its own manpower.

This is because, if you are strong enough to catch a troll, there is no way you can be suppressed by this level of gravity magic.

“that… .”

Na Yerin hesitated to answer.The moment I answered that, it was a betrayal of the Triad.

If I thought that I would be stamped out as a traitor and chased away for the rest of my life, I’d rather die without answering.

“I know what you are thinking. I’d rather die than betray the organization

You thought it was better?”

Soon-won stood up.

And I suppressed her by pressing Na Yerin’s point.

“what?”

There were only a few pressures on his body, but he couldn’t lift a single finger.

Her whole body stiffened.

“There is nothing to watch for loyalty to the organization.

no use and the organization you belong to

Is this an organization worthy of maintaining such loyalty?”

Soon-won’s hand touched Na Ye-rin’s cervical spine.

And mana flowed into her body.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

Bone root bone

It is a technique that forcibly injects magical energy to twist the opponent’s qi and blood and cause their muscles to move freely.

The pain was so great that the person affected by this technique usually committed suicide by biting his tongue.

Whoops!

It was the same with Na Yerin.

It felt as if tens of thousands of awls had stabbed her in the body.

He chose to be freed by death rather than in pain where every second felt like a minute.

But the opponent was bad.

“healing.”

A handful of torn tongues were regenerated.

A light of despair flashed across Na Ye-rin’s face.

“You can even immobilize your neck, so why don’t you do that?”

“… I’d rather kill Betrayal of the Triad is dead anyway.”

“no. You have two options. now

Either you keep holding on and eventually accept all the pain you have and open your mouth, or open your mouth and stand by me right now.”

Soon-won continued talking.

“Come under me.”

It relieved Nayerin’s pain by pressing her blood pressure.

Her whole body was drenched in sweat, and she bit her lips.

“What do I gain by doing that?”

“Your life.”

Soon-won pressed the blood pressure once more to make her body move.

“If you refuse, you will die 100%, but if you do what I say, you will not die unless the Triad finds out.”

Na Yerin looked at her fallen men.

“do not worry. Because I put them all to sleep before the conversation started.”

Na Yerin reached out her hand with a tissue.

to wipe off sweat.

Soon-won brought her body into optimum condition with clean magic.

When she saw that her body had become smooth, she had a surprised expression on her face.

“Did there ever be such a magic? I didn’t know why

Ji?”

“Because it’s a magic that only I can use.”

Soon-won gave Na Ye-rin her last chance.

“Now choose. Being here is going to get boring.”

Artifacts she had originally targeted were also recovered.

I came here wondering if the nobles might be involved, but it was just such an arena.

“Okay, I’ll make a deal with you.”

Na Yerin made her decision.

“I will tell you everything I know. Can you promise me that you will protect me if my life is in danger instead?”

“I promise.”

Soon-won opened a subspace in the air.

He rummaged through it and pulled out a signal.

“receive. Press it and it will give me a signal.”

Na Ye-rin looked at Soon-won who took her belongings out of a space where she had nothing, and she wondered if she was dreaming now.

“I’ve never heard of such a magic.

place… .”

“This is also a magic that only I can do. Stop being curious and tell me. How did you get the monster?”

“There are people who provide monsters. A member of the Cheonwoo Association, wearing a dragon’s mask. My name and identity are well… .”

“for a moment!”

There was something that bothered her about Na Yerin’s speech.

“Cheonwoohoe? A dragon mask?”

“I don’t know the details either. Humans sitting in key positions in Korea are

All I know is that they formed a private organization and wore a zodiac animal mask and thoroughly concealed their identity.”

Na Yerin also did some research to see if she felt uncomfortable receiving monsters from an unknown person.

But it was there.

Those sent for further investigation never returned alive.

“According to what the last informant told me before he died, two members of the Cheonwoo Association had recently died and were trying to fill the vacancy. station that recruits it

A person who does hal wears a snake mask

woman

He is a professor of magic at Seoul National University.

She says she has… .”

“A professor of magic? who?”

“Professor Inha Oh.”

She was a professor of pharmacology and magic.

Soon-won, who didn’t expect to get this kind of information from here, doubted whether to believe this straight away.

‘That’s something you have to check for yourself.’

The word that he wore the mask of the zodiac animal and the name of the organization Cheonwoohoe came to mind.

There was a fight between a man wearing a chicken mask and a man wearing a monkey mask, and at that time, the person wearing the chicken mask died and lost the cloth.

spoke and died.

It looked like it was referring to the cloth of the Cheonwookai.

“There are conditions for receiving my protection. It’s okay to continue running the arena. If you quit suddenly, you will be suspicious, but it is forbidden to include ordinary people. I’m not going to say anything about catching and using opposing gang members like now. Oh, and the drug trade is prohibited.”

“But the drug trade makes a pretty decent income… .”

“Would you like to get hit?”

“Oh no. I won’t.”

Na Yerin curled up her tail.

“And release the agents of the Magic Bureau over there.”

He pointed to Ye-ri Song and Min-seung Park, who could not even escape from the center of the cage and stood still.

“I’ll call you often, so take this.”

Soon-won handed one communication crystal ball.

“And it must have been torture from the position of the victim when I said that I had to put in a joint earlier, but in fact, it is not just a technique for torture. In the future, I won’t be doing any minor banter.”

Originally, it was a technique used to create the body of a warrior, and it did not grow taller.

was a technology used by humans.

As a side effect, there was the advantage of improving the skin and increasing flexibility.

“Thank you?”

After saying those words, Soon-won teleported and left.

Alone in her VIP room, Na Ye-rin flopped down on her sofa as she relaxed.

“Thank you very much.”

Professor Jang Se-hyeong continued to send Soon-won to the gate, but there were people who opposed it.

It was Professor Yeojin Lee, who returned from studying abroad at Johns Hopkins University of Magic.

“Are you turning away a child who is ranked first in the department for senior admissions? Battle wizard, that’s something that low-class kids who can’t even follow class do. r

At that, Professor Jang Se-hyung, a former battle wizard, was furious.

“Are you done talking now? If you can’t keep up with class, what can’t you do? kids

Have you been paid? Are you saying this knowingly that if you fail, you won’t be able to move on to the next semester?”

“How is it different from failing students who barely pass the 3rd test?”

“Even the top-ranked students have great ambitions and aspire to become a battle wizard. Soon-won is a representative student. From the interview, he said he wanted to become a battle wizard… .”

“Oh, that’s right. Are you crazy to bring such a genius student to the battlefield? If you enter the research center as a basic magic researcher, you will be able to contribute to the development of Korean magic.

A child who will make great strides. what the!”

“Soon-won student agreed and I got permission from other professors to proceed.”

“I told the head of the department. Soon-won Student I will go to work in my lab from today. Did you know?”

“Did the head of the department allow it?”

Se-hyeong Jang ran out of the classroom to check the facts.

But he soon remembered the incident a year ago.

‘Really, Professor Yeo-jin Lee and the head of the department were like that.’

office spouse

The two were lovers in the office, even though each had a spouse.They were often referred to as office wife and office hearth band.

‘If I have to go and tell you, the seeds won’t work. I’d rather go to Soon-won and convince him.’

But Soon-won also didn’t want to wander around the gate anymore.

“Prof. I’m sorry, but for the time being, I want to focus on my studies.”

I was approaching the 7th circle, and in order to break through the wall of the 8th circle in the future, I need enlightenment.

had to get

Even if you go to practice as a 3rd grader right now, you will not be able to go to the gate of a higher level, so you would rather study while reading a book.

There was also the intention to watch Professor Oh In-ha.

“Um, I was thinking of you as my disciple… .”

It was not between the professor and the student, but between the teacher and the student.

He was no different than a successor to all of his barbie skills.

It was a perfect opportunity for a student wishing to become a battle wizard, but Soon-won did not waver.

‘Because what I need is not combat know-how or skills.’

Soon-won, who rejected Professor Jang Se-hyeong, went to see Professor Lee Yeo-jin.

She is currently running a laboratory with graduate students under the auspices of SW Company, and is researching a car engine powered by a magic stone.

“Children, rejoice. The youngest researcher you’ve been longing for has arrived. He’s a smart kid, so if you teach him, he’ll learn quickly.”

At the introduction of Professor Yeo-Jin Lee, the graduate students clapped with open eyes.

Everyone was exhausted as they couldn’t sleep for 10 hours in a week because they were preparing for the doctoral thesis as well as the main research in the lab.

“Hello. This is Jung Soon-won. Take good care of me. Seniors.”

Still, it seemed that everyone was curious about the newcomer, so after Professor Yeojin Lee was away on the phone for a while, she started asking questions about this and that.

“What grade are you in?”

“It’s the first year.”

“Professor Lee brought him here, so he certainly didn’t miss the head of the department like we did, right? But what did you come to graduate school for? If I could turn back time, I would never go to graduate school.”

Soon-won corrected the senior’s words.

“Am I not graduating from college yet?”

“what? What are you talking about? Now in graduate school… .”

“I am a first-year student.”

“Wait, you’re an undergraduate?”

“Yes.”

Lee Sung-hyun doubted his ears for a moment.

“Are you the professor’s hidden son or something?”

“No.”

“But why… .”

Lim Dong-gu, who was next to him, patted Lee Seong-hyun on the shoulder.

“Professor must be thinking. Let’s think of it as bringing us over our shoulder to learn a little while running small errands because we were struggling.”

“No, if you bring a child here who needs to study for a while… .”

Soon-won looked around the lab as if he didn’t care what the seniors were saying.

“Seniors. Is this a magic engine?”

At those words, Seonghyun Lee approached me with a proud expression.

“Ehem! This is a horsepower engine commissioned by SW Company, and I designed it to maximize efficiency even with 10% of the lowest level magic stone, so that the performance increase by 2%… .”

Soon-won stared at the engine.

The circuit connections were messed up.

“This can be effective

I don’t have… .”

Soon-won reached for the engine.

After looking out the window and talking about the horsepower engine for a long time, Seonghyun Lee was startled to see Soon-won touching the engine.

“Hey! Touch what you know!”

He hurriedly grabbed Soon-won’s hand, but he had already changed the circuit.

“You madman! I’ve been experimenting for over a year to increase the efficiency by 2% and it’s working… .”

The hand that grabbed Soon-won’s collar trembled.

Looking at the tangled circuit, it seemed that staying up all night would not be enough to restore it to its original state.

“Seo, Sunghyun-ah.”

“Don’t stop me. Dong-gu’s brother. If you don’t get confused here, you bastard, the lab stuff… .”

“Look at the laptop screen here. Did you increase the engine efficiency by 20%?”

“what?”

Lee Seong-hyun loosened Soon-won’s collar and ran to his laptop.

Indeed, the performance was increased by 20% in the engine simulator.

Lee Seong-hyun looked at Soon-won with a gaze demanding an explanation.

“Hey, what is this… .”
