Kang Duk-chul's eyes turned to Kang Min-hyuk.
It's been a long time since the two of us met, but Kang Deok-cheol's attitude showed no warm affection for his father.
"I heard the news. I heard you won the magic conference."
"Yes."
"How is that possible? You're my son. From the moment you were born to the age of 17, you have never been interested in magic. I can't believe you won an academic contest as soon as you entered the magic department. I can't readily accept it.”
It was a pure question.
A pure question, such as the joy of winning, or the greed for winning prizes, that never mixes.
I was just curious.
His son's development was unexpected to Kang Deok-cheol.
"I just used what I learned in the textbook."
The answer was short.
Kang Deok-cheol gave a strange look to Kang Min-hyuk, who cut off his back as if he didn't want to talk anymore.
"Do you mean you have a talent for magic?"
It's a great thing.
If Kang Min-hyuk was from an ordinary prosecutor's office, he would have truly blessed him regardless of the fact that he was magic.
But this is the guardian gate.
Kang Min-hyuk's father is Kang Deok-cheol, called the Guardian Sword, and people pay attention to his son's movements.
Bam!
"Look at this."
Kang Min-hyuk lowered his eyes.
In the newspaper that Kang Deok-cheol threw, there was this.
[Failed at the gate, won the magic academic contest!]
[Why Kang Min-hyuk chose magic, in fact, there is a problem inside the gate!]
The days of the gate are drawing to an end. Kang Min-hyuk, the heir to the family, chose magic!]
all sorts of false rumors
Malicious rumors, which were not based on facts, were biting off the guardian gate as if it had been waiting.
"Maybe the rumours spread from the forces trying to keep us in check. This is where you are. Even if you have come down from the post of successor to the guardian gate, all your actions are directly linked to the guardian gate. Winning a magic academic contest is great enough, and I know you have a magic gift for this. But that's enough. If you were born in Sooho Gate, shouldn't you be working with the environment?”
I recognize Kang Min-hyuk's talent.
If you succeed as a wizard, you will be a good Hunter.
The problem is that in such a future, the name of the gate's failure will follow to the end.
There is a limit to magic anyway. I'm a kind of person who acknowledges the power of magic, but I also don't place the power of magic at a similar level to ours. Just one of the means to use. It is valuable as a tool, but even if it peaked in magic, it has no power in the world I live in. That's exactly the way you're going. So give it up. If you are willing to take the sword again now, I will train you from the bottom, if not from the status of your successor. Well, it's a fate you, the heir apparent, have to choose."
Kang Min-hyuk is a very attractive gossip.
All actions were reported, and it was used not to undermine Kang Min-hyuk but to criticize the gate.
Kang Min-hyuk knows.
That's why I attended a magic conference, so I allowed my father to call me.
This seat.
It was not to talk to my father, but to inform him of his future.
"I can't give up magic anymore. Because I saw the light that was not seen in the guardian gate, in this magic. That's why I came to see my father. Don't expect any more from me. As of this time, I will cut off my guardian gate and kite, and I will pack all my things and go out. If you don't like who's causing so many accidents at the gate, contact your close reporters right now and tell them to write an article like this. We expel Kang Min-hyuk from the gate, and he is no longer a member of the gate."
“·········.”
Kang Duk-chul's expression hardened.
But he didn't give me time to talk.
Because this wasn't a conversation.
"Thank you for everything you'
cut off heaven and earth
Finally, Kang Min-hyuk added a horse.
"I will participate in the punishment that will take place on Mother's Day. As my father's son and heir to the Guardian Gate, I will not be able to do my duty, but I don't want to remain a bad son to my mother in heaven."
He turned away without hesitation.
There will now be no self-imposed, or other, visit this room.
***
Choi Byung-ho, dean of the department, has been in a good mood lately.
"Hahaha, I didn't know he was such a lucky guy.”
Kang Minhyuk.
Without the background of the guardian gate, his admission would not have been accepted.
In fact, Kang Min-hyuk's admission had caused concerned responses from acquaintances around him. I understand that you accept it because it is a guardian gate, but wouldn't the magic department be embroiled in a negative controversy?
I understand.
So I just wanted to make sure I didn't get into trouble, but what's this about?
I've run into a big accident.
That's also positive thinking.
'He's a great guy. A child named Soohumun won a magic academic contest. Which means it's not usually a gene. By the way, how do you keep Minhyuk in the department? It's a great achievement just to produce the winner, but I hope Minhyuk stays in the department for a long time.
Right after the championship.
Several companies and organizations contacted.
From a company that wants to sponsor magical items to a magic group that asks Kang Min-hyuk to let go of his legs.
Especially in the case of the Korean Federation of Magic, I will fully support the magic department in the future, so please connect me with Kang Min-hyuk."
The former accepted.
Sponsors offered to accept, but the latter refused in a single stroke.
Choi Byung-ho is not a slow-calculating person, as he hands over the goose that lays the golden eggs to others.
The problem is.
"Even the World Federation of Magic shows interest in Minhyuk."
It is an expected situation.
Even if he won one general award, not a championship, Kang would have received the attention of various organizations.
So Kang Min-hyuk's victory made him feel good, but he also felt anxious that he might be taken away.
"How do I catch Minhyuk?"
In fact, there was no answer.
Kang Min-hyuk gained wealth and honor.
All the departments can offer is scholarships and professorship, but it doesn't really mean much. So, like a man with bipolar disorder, he laughed at the fame gained by Kang Min-hyuk, but also showed a gloomy reaction to the anxiety that he might soon be taken away. I don't know if he's been active enough, but the result was too much, raising the possibility of Kang Min-hyuk leaving the magic department.
That's the time to go back and forth from heaven to hell.
Kang Min-hyuk asked for a meeting.
"Oh, our Minhyuk is here?”
"Hello."
Kang Min-hyuk's visit.
Choi Byung-ho deliberately made a fuss and led him to his seat, and sat opposite him, not his boss.
The happy look at Kang Min-hyuk.
Choi Byung-ho said in a warm voice.
"Do you want something to drink? If you're hungry, you can go out to eat."
"I have a class soon."
"What does that matter? I'm the head of the department. I'll tell the professor well, so you don't have to worry about that at all."
The reaction was excessive.
But that was Choi Byung-ho's own way.
He was quick at reckoning, so he acted as if he would give him all the liver and gallbladder if he thought it would benefit him.
So Kang Min-hyuk wanted to see Choi Byung-ho.
"Department head."
"Why, you're not trying to move it away already, are you?"
"No, I'm here to tell you that I want to stay in the magic department."
"Really?"
The dean's face lit up.
Looking at him delighted as if the world had everything, Kang said calmly.
"But there's a condition."
***
Cleeseman.
His help is a bargain.
Instead of gaining the knowledge of magic civilization, Kang has an obligation to defeat monsters in this world.
So I had a lot of worries.
How can he, who is only 17 years old, succeed in his failed achievements? Eventually, Kang Min-hyuk had no choice but to take advantage of the powerful advantage of his own magic civilization of 2000.
I drew a big picture.
The future ahead.
The first was the construction of the tower.
'I need my own power. People who will lead the hunt for monsters with me. In order for talented wizards to look at the same goal as me, I need to emphasize the speciality of my tower. And with 2000's magic knowledge, it's not a problem for even a latecomer to establish himself in the world of magic.’
Lee Hak-beom's recruitment.
participation in a magic conference
All this was to build a tower.
But right now, it is too early.
Kang Min-hyuk has the wealth and honor to build the tower, but the most important element is missing.
'I have to be strong.’
Second
It's to be strong.
Although he has a different advantage than others, Kang is still only a one-circle wizard.
Kang Deok-cheol, who made Suho Gate the best power in Korea, always said this in a cold tone.
"A sense of belonging is very important in forming a force. Although it is the role of a housekeeper to sincerely care for the people of the gate, recognition without power is meaningless. "Minhyuk. In this world dominated by force, people don't want the weak to be on their heads."
You're right.
No matter how great Kang Min-hyuk shows off his magic knowledge, it doesn't mean anything if he is weak.
So I made a plan.
He said he would stay in the magic department for a year and have time to develop his strength.
"The conditions I want are simple. If there is anything I need to grow up magically, please get me everything in the name of the magic department. And guarantee your freedom of attendance. I'm not asking for good grades. Even if I'm out of the office for personal reasons, you don't have to deal with the expulsion."
with terms and conditions
"I'm going to stay in the magic department for the next year instead, and all my achievements can be used to enhance my reputation. In an interview with the media, I will tell you that the magic department's teaching was good. This is the condition I offer."
He immediately said the price.
Choi Byung-ho smiled brightly.
The conditions Kang Min-hyuk said were at such an acceptable level.
"Of course! Can't I do anything for our Minhyuk? Besides that, it's worth mentioning. If you're uncomfortable with Danim, the dean will improve whatever it is."
The deal has been concluded.
This gave Kang a year of time.
'Now I'm getting attention from countless forces. But if you say you remain in the magic department for academic purposes, it will be a good cause to avoid choice while being favored by forces.’
Time to grow.
In the meantime, I have no intention of rejecting other people's favors.
Kang Min-hyuk's ambiguous position will give him vain hope that he may be able to recruit Kang once he graduates.
Kang Min-hyuk was quick to calculate.
After 17 years as his successor, he immediately saw his real sense of reality and a direction that would benefit him.
The cause of rejection has been secured.
If then,
'From now on, it's time to meet the owners of the business cards one by one.’
just in time
[John Wesley. Can you spare me some time?]
The most attractive prey, first called.
Kang Duk-chul's eyes turned to Kang Min-hyuk.
