Follow me!

Loud alarms ringing on the desk.

I wondered if the blanket covering the bed was wriggling, but only my arm came out and smashed the button on the alarm clock with all my might.

Kaan-!

The enchantment engraved on the alarm clock flicked her hand lightly to turn off the alarm, and after a while, Leah with her head stretched out through a gap in the duvet crawled out.

“… … I don’t want to go.”

Her face became more flatter than when she worked all night.

It was because I couldn’t sleep at night while thinking about the enchantment I had to do today, but my whole body creaked and even chicken flesh grew.

‘Are you saying you can’t just because you’re sick?’

Leah struggled for a moment with the excuse that popped into her head, then sighed deeply and got up from her seat.

“What will happen if you avoid it?”

Whatever the outcome, you just have to try it first.

Leah, who was prepared, quickly washed her hair and came out, then simply tied her hair and put a hairpin with red jewels in it.

Wrath-!

Moisture that evaporates instantly with the enchantment engraved on the hairpin.

After checking that her hair was dry, Leah changed into a cadet uniform and put on a hairpin with purple jewels.

susu

This time, the enchantment engraved on the hairpin sent magical energy to the entire hair, and after a while the hair moved as if it were alive and started to be braided into a single strand.

“Hmm… … Is it time to adjust?”

Leah, who was examining her braided hair more slowly than usual, looked at the picture frame placed on the table while waiting for it to be completed.

A smiling long-haired man wearing round glasses and a child sitting on his lap and playing with the man’s hair tied in a bundle.

“… … .”

Leah, who was looking at her father when she was young and her innocent self when she was only 5 years old, naturally turned to one side.

A white hand gently wrapped around the tip of his father’s shoulder. However, the place where the owner would be located was torn and unknown.

“Whew… … .”

Leah looked at the picture for a long time and exhaled, and her anxious eyes sank deeply.

“Calm down.”

There is no time to sit still in a place like this.

Recalling the words she had been thinking about several times a day, Leah poked the remaining hairpins and hairpins into her braided hair.

And finally, instead of a coat, he wore a white doctor’s gown and brought a subspace pocket for his equipment.

Quang!

I kicked the door open with all my might and went out of the workshop.

* * *

“Huh… … .”

A workshop in the main building of the Faculty of Refining. Kim In-cheol, who arrived first after accepting Se-hun Lee’s application for intermediate smelting, looked at the list of materials handled this time and looked surprised.

‘You’re a man in a dream come true… … Yongke has also been looking for these things.’

Rare materials that are hard to find even with money.

In particular, Namhwawoo, the feather of Zhujak, was a hard-to-find material to the extent that some professors were greedy.

‘Where the hell did you get these? … Maybe the headmaster?’

When looking through the ingredient list with a look of disbelief. I could feel the popularity next to me, and I heard a soft voice.

“New students these days are not afraid. I thought about dealing with these rare materials.”

A woman with a soft impression wearing a brown shawl with her brown hair neatly braided.

On the surface, he looked like he was in his mid-30s, but he had a more mature atmosphere, and Kim In-cheol calmly replied to that.

“I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but I don’t think Professor Rebecca is in a position to say that.”

“Oh. What am I?”

“You used the legendary grade materials you’ve been looking for for six years, and then you blown them all away.”

“… … .”

Rebecca Claudel’s eyes twitched at Kim In-cheol’s pincup, a woman, a professor in the enchantment department and a professor of ancient enchantment science.

“It wasn’t blown away, it was used for research. It is the foundation for our next success.”

“It was like that. I look forward to hearing good news in six years.”

“… … .”

Seeing Kim In-cheol stabbing her in pain without hesitation, Rebecca shook her eyebrows and sighed.

“It seems that he is a cadet that he cherishes. You come out so aggressive.”

How can you react so harshly with something that you grumbled a little because you brought in your granddaughter, who has yet to get out of the slump?

When Rebecca asked a question as if she was surprised by the unexpected reaction, Kim In-cheol answered calmly.

“Professor Rebecca cares about her granddaughter as much as she does.”

“… … Is that enough?”

Rebecca looked at Kim In-cheol’s answer with a surprised expression.

It is because I had heard from my granddaughter that the head of department of the Borsippa is unusual this time, but I never thought that Kim In-cheol would cherish him this much.

“Have you never met?”

“I had a personal business, so I entrusted it to Leah during the first class. After that, I was hospitalized due to an injury, so I couldn’t see him.”

In response to Rebecca’s answer, Kim In-cheol nodded as if he understood.

“So that was it.”

Kim In-cheol speaks with such conviction that if he had met, he would have admitted it. When Rebecca looked at him with a strange expression.

“Excuse me.”

“Excuse me… … .”

Lee Se-hoon and Leah enter the studio through the door. Kim In-cheol got up from his seat and calmly talked to Rebecca.

“Look and judge.”

“… … like.”

Kim In-cheol, who welcomed the two cadets, immediately introduced Rebecca, who was standing next to him.

“This is Professor Rebecca Claudel of the Faculty of Enchantments, who I supervised today. Say hello.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“nice to meet you. I should have seen it earlier, but my schedule didn’t go well, so I got to see it for the first time today.”

“no. But maybe… … .”

Sehun Lee, who glanced at Leah standing next to him with a nervous expression, asked Rebecca.

“Are you Leah-senpai’s grandmother?”

“… … Grandma?”

Rebecca made a puzzled expression at Lee Se-hoon’s question.

“Did you just say grandma?”

“Yes. Aren’t you?”

“no. That’s right, but… … .”

Rebecca put on a puzzled look at Lee Se-hoon’s puzzled look.

‘I don’t think Leah was talking about me… … .’

If that’s the case, shouldn’t I ask her if she’s an older sister, an aunt, or at least a mother, even because she looks like she’s in her mid-30s?

Leah, who was engulfed in doubt, asked Lee Se-hun again.

“How did you find out?”

“I knew just by looking at it.”

It’s not a lie, Lee Se-hun immediately recognized her age when he first saw Rebecca.

It was because before the return, I was able to naturally tell the difference by meeting the slow aging heroes or examining their corpses.

‘The atmosphere of eyes or magic. And an overdeveloped body is difficult to hide.’

Things that can be seen as traces of time rather than talent. Although it is difficult to recognize, it was quite useful know-how as it was possible to discover those who hid their identities if they got a sense of it.

“… … .”

When Rebecca was stroking her face with a slightly stiff expression in response to Sehun Lee. Leah, who was watching from behind, intervened.

“Why are you here? You said you were working on the weekend.”

“… … I stopped by because you, who had been locked up in the workshop for a month, suddenly ran away screaming. Then an intermediate level enchantment application came in, and I got it.”

Rebecca, with her arms crossed, looked at her with a slightly stern expression.

“Ivory Tower’s Special Student Contest is only two months away. Have you made all the things to submit?”

“… … .”

Rebecca sighed as Leah glanced away.

“No matter what you do, I won’t interfere, but don’t forget your promise. Do you understand?”

“… … yes.”

“okay. That’s it.”

Rebecca stepped back as if there was nothing more to say about that. Kim In-cheol, who saw it, continued the story.

“If you think there is a problem, tell me right away. I will help you right away.”

“All right.”

“Then do your best.”

Kim In-cheol and Rebecca went to the chair and sat down again, and Lee Se-hoon looked at Leah.

“… … .”

Originally, I was quite nervous, but it seems that the conversation just made me even more agitated. Sehun Lee pondered for a moment at the sight and opened his mouth.

“Looks like something is wrong.”

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s not that serious.”

Seeing Leah talking with a smile, Sehun Lee shook his head.

“It’s not that I’m worried, if you think you can’t do it, tell me in advance.”

“What?”

“I can’t even concentrate properly, but if I force myself to do it and fail, only my ingredients will fly away.”

“… … .”

Leah looked at Lee Se-hoon with a blank expression at Se-hun’s cold story, and then the corners of her eyes trembled.

We’re not close enough to worry about each other, but that doesn’t mean we need to be so cold.

“Then why don’t you call someone other than me? … .”

When are you forced to pass it on, and now you have to stop again. As Leah grumbled unsatisfied, Sehun Lee spoke calmly.

“That’s because I think you’ll do the best.”

“… … .”

“Is there any other reason to ask for collaboration?”

It would be right to use someone other than Leah, who has not yet come out of the slump, if he goes stably, but Sehun Lee thought that his choice was the right one.

There is also a relationship level, but for the materials we will be dealing with this time, Leah’s enchantment suits him the most.

“… … Whoa.”

Leah took a deep breath and immediately rolled up the sleeves of the doctor’s gown to her elbows, rolled up her braids, and secured them with a hairpin studded with purple jewels.

Then, she cleaned up her bangs with hairpins and looked at Lee Se-hun with a dissatisfied expression.

“If you’re going to say something like that, use a prettier tone. Okay?”

“… … .”

“Start. I will be ready too.”

Leah just talks and starts setting the tools she put in the subspace pocket. Lee Se-hoon smiled at the back.

‘It’s not normal either.’

Se-hun Lee, who picked up the necessary ignition stones by type from the material box, started the furnace and put it inside.

Whoops!

The flame of a brazier that is mixed with various kinds of ignition stones and blooms promiscuously. Rebecca looked at her with a puzzled expression.

‘What the hell are you going to do with a flame like that? … ?’

I looked at Kim In-cheol, who was sitting next to me, wondering if I had made a mistake, but instead, I was just looking at him with eyes looking forward to what would happen next.

When Rebecca is bewildered by a situation she can’t quite comprehend.

Tap! right!

The dry sound and colorful flames flowing from Sehun Lee’s palm. Rebecca’s eyes widened when she realized that it was created by colliding with each other.

bad-

With a clear sound, a red glowing ignition stone was thrown into the furnace.

Aaan—!!!

A terrifying roar erupted from inside the furnace. Rebecca was startled by the vibration that shook the entire workshop and jumped up.

“Wow, what… … !”

“Calm down.”

Kim In-cheol, who blocked Rebecca with her hand as she pulled out an emblem the size of a palm, spoke calmly.

“It’s just the process of making fire.”

“What nonsense is that? Can’t you see that the furnace is cracked now?”

When a spark of that size explodes out of the furnace, it is practically a bomb. Kim In-cheol sighed at the sight of Rebecca trying to stop the smelting immediately.

“Don’t be so surprised, take a closer look. Then you will know.”

“What do you want to see more closely… … .”

Rebecca looked at the furnace again at Kim In-cheol’s repeated story, and her eyes widened at the sight in front of her.

It was because the inside of the furnace was quiet as if the explosion had just been a lie, and the ‘white’ flame inside was moving as if it would go out at any moment.

“The white flame… … ?”

Fireworks dyed pure white as if they had been bleached.

Not feeling the heat was enough to make it look like a model had been brought in, but seeing the trembling shape and receiving magical power from the brazier, it was clear that the actual flame was.

“That… … why… … .”

When Rebecca was staring blankly at the sight she couldn’t understand. Sehun Lee, who was looking at the flames of the hearth, frowned slightly.

‘It’s a modern furnace, but I can’t even make a white fire flame properly.’

Originally, the flame should form a circle, but there is no sign that the upper part will close due to the lack of a furnace function.

Lee Se-hoon’s taste in the hearth was cracked and creaking in several places.

‘I’ll have to hit you with my body.’

After taking off his work clothes, Se-hoon Lee, roughly draped around his waist, picked up Nam Hwa-woo, which he had taken out to one side.

Red ore stored in blue crystals. It looks fine from the outside, but if you take it out without much thought, it will burn and disappear immediately.

‘Let’s see… … .’

Se-hun Lee, who manipulated the furnace to bring out the white orchid flower near the entrance, held the crystal kept by Nam Hwa-woo with his left hand, and with his right hand took out a hammer of black flame and held it.

“Hmm… … .”

Sehun Lee, who looks at the decision with one hand. Rebecca, who was paying close attention, asked Kim In-cheol.

“that. Isn’t that Raffles’ decision?”

“That’s right.”

At Kim In-cheol’s answer, Rebecca put on an absurd expression.

“You’re going to break that with a hammer?”

Raffles crystals used to preserve special materials. It was not very strong before processing, but it was a rare mineral with the property of becoming very hard when conservation enchantment was applied.

So, in order to take it out without damaging the material, you must first release the permanent preservation magic, but Lee Se-hun is trying to break it with a hammer.

‘The damage to the material is second to none, and it seems difficult to break it… … .’

A situation that seems to be conceptually impossible. Even so, Se-hun Lee had no anxiety, and Kim In-cheol, who was watching, was still watching with anticipation.

Even her granddaughter, Leah, didn’t even look at her, but the sight seemed to make Rebecca a strange person.

‘What the hell is… … .’

When Rebecca is looking confused. Sehun Lee, who had been tinkering with the decision for a while, blinked his eyes.

“found.”

Se-hun Lee, who firmly pressed a part of the crystal with the tip of his thumb, raised his anticipation using a white light.

woo woo

A pure white anticipation that forms on the tip of the thumb. Se-hun Lee, who brought the blade to one part, immediately hit his thumb lightly with a hammer of black flame.

Pakang!

The Raffles crystal that covered Nam Hwa Woo split at once.

“That… … !”

“What… … .”

Kim In-cheol, who is surprised with her eyes wide open, and Rebecca, who makes an absurd expression.

It was an excellent technique that surprised the two professors who knew even in Babel, but Lee Se-hoon, who was involved, moved quickly without even paying attention.

Hwareuk!

Hwa-Woo Nam starts to burn as the crystal is broken and the permanent preservation magic is unleashed.

Not only was the appearance burning, but the durability was being consumed in real time.

Whoa!

As Hwa-woo Nam entered the inside of the white orchid flower, the red color grew deeper and an unusual wave began to flow out.

Kim In-cheol, who was paying close attention to the wave, noticed the cause and opened his eyes wide.

‘Is Namhwawoo getting stronger by creating a resonance with that pure white flame?’

It was a good sign considering the role of smelting to maximize the properties of materials, but Kim In-cheol, who recalled the characteristics of Nam Hwa-woo’s main body, the magical beast ‘Shujak’, exclaimed urgently.

“Lee Se-hoon cadet! Get it out right now!!”

Among the monsters, a ‘beast beast’ refers to an entity that escapes from the danger zone and roams freely like a demon.

Among them, the infamous S-class Demon Beast Suzaku was very intelligent, spoke his language naturally and was reluctant to kill, so he just let the heroes who attacked him live.

However, this mercy had a more terrifying end in a sense, because the flame of the Suzaku could even burn the ‘spirit’ of human beings.

‘A wave like that can turn you into an idiot or a vegetative person… … !’

When the two professors were about to move quickly in a serious situation.

“it’s okay.”

Lee Se-hoon answered calmly and wrapped his hands around the white orchid flower.

saraak

The pure white flame without feeling the temperature slowly closed following Se-hun Lee’s hand, and the white orchid flower that turned into a pure white egg trapped Nam Hwa-woo’s flame inside.

Whoa!

Hwa-woo Nam, who struggles fiercely from the inside of the white orchid flower.

If it had been an ordinary flame, it would have been eaten by Nam Hwa-woo’s temper, but the white orchid flower created by Lee Se-hoon was different.

‘Pure flame that blows away all impurities.’

Rather than heating and smelting metal, a shell for embracing ferocious flames. That is the purpose of this white orchid flower.

susu

As the white orchid flower was continuously stroking and refining it like making pottery, the male flower inside also began to calm down little by little.

And when the violently resounding wave calmed down. Seeing that the white orchid painting was completed, Lee Se-hoon raised his fire attribute magic, ‘Hongryun Yeom’.

bubbly

Flames burning in a circle over the palm of your hand. Se-hun Lee, who controlled the flow, carefully grabbed the bottom of the white orchid flower with both hands.

And slowly raised both hands from the furnace.

Woo-

The white orchid flower came out of the furnace and was placed on Lee Se-hoon’s hands.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Sehun Lee is holding a giant egg containing flames with both hands.

When Kim In-cheol and Rebecca stare blankly at the mysterious sight.

“hey.”

Sehun Lee with a white orchid flower approached Leah.

“yes? why fire… … .”

Leah, who looked back while preparing for the enchantment, was unable to speak at the sight in front of her.

What is that big egg when you say smelting, and what is the flame that you feel inside?

No matter how you look at it, Leah looked up at the unusual sight as if asking for an explanation.

“Enchant here.”

Sehun Lee smiled and held out the white orchid flower.
