chapter 12
12 – The Curse of Nemesis, the Black Sword
On a sunny Saturday morning, a member of the association was waiting for me in a limousine. You can just take a taxi, but the president of the association says he really wants to treat you or something.
“It’s an honor to serve you.”
The only people who knew that I was an SS were the president of the association and a very small number of people involved. Maybe that’s why I keep feeling the gaze from the driver’s seat.
I’m still sensitive about getting the blue sky, but that woman keeps glancing at me in the rearview mirror.
“Is there anything you want to say?”
“Ah. That’s because I’m a big fan of SS.”
What is it? Did you even have a fan of mine? When I told him that, he told me the situation, saying he was hot in the Witch Beast Association these days. If you think about it, this kind of reaction might be natural since you defeated an unknown monster of S class that you didn’t even know.
“If you don’t mind, can I ask you one question?”
“Do as you please.”
Then he squeezed the driver’s seat tightly in excitement.
“Whoa… Whoa… Then. Red Griffon’s shield is supposed to be grade S… Several wizards tried but couldn’t break it. How did you do it?”
I just blocked the griffon’s roar. He said that he used his power against him by wrapping it up a little.
“Such nonsense. Using reflection magic…”
It’s hard to see because he’s wearing sunglasses, but his face was quite shocked. Is it that great Everyone who hears it is amazed.
“Even S-class wizards can’t use reflection magic properly, so it’s just a magic for entertainment.”
I see. Was there such an inside story? I just had to make that face.
“Is SS-sama a SS-class wizard by any chance? That’s why you’re an SS.”
By the way, it seemed like a funny misunderstanding, so I decided not to say anything. Before we knew it, we arrived at the party where the 50th anniversary of the Witchbeast Association was being held.
Beast Association.
Here is the place to start a guild, and also the place to apply for a subjugation request here. This is also the place where you can create a monster encyclopedia. It can be said that everything related to the Witchbeast in the work is done here.
If a guild is a private company, then the Witchbeast Association is like a government.
In front of the party entrance, a wizard who appeared to be a bodyguard stopped us. She took her ID next to her and read it.
“Lee Soo-jeong, chief of staff of the Beast Association. Nice to meet you.”
Did someone like the chief of staff pick me up? That’s great.
“The person next to you also shows your ID…”
There is no such thing, but she handed over the magic academy student ID she got at the entrance ceremony. There is a saying that a student ID card is an identification card.
“Magic Academy 1st Year Class B Kim Yi-do. Yes, your identity has been confirmed. You are not invited to the party, but you can accompany him with the authority of the chief secretary.”
To say that I wasn’t invited to the party is to be considerate of the president of the association. It’s just to hide that the SS is me.
When I entered the party hall, there were many people in formal attire drinking and chatting loudly. There is no such thing as a really high-end market.
“This way. The president of the Association is waiting for you.”
“Can I meet you here?”
“Whoops. It can’t be. There’s a separate place.”
That’s good.
I got out of the riotous party and headed to the place where the president of the association was.
“The sword the hero wants is also there. However, I don’t know if the president of the association will give it to you.”
I know it well.
For the head of the Beasts Association, the black sword is not simply a trophy. However, since I have thoroughly prepared for it, I can only hope that it goes well.
Upon entering the VIP room, he was met by one of his grandfathers and two bodyguards escorting him.
This person is Lee Tae-san, the head of the Beasts Association… He is 103 years old.
An S-class wizard and a so-called sage. However, compared to that, the impression looks like a friendly grandfather.
[Eye of the sky has been activated.]
When the main character first met him, he said that he felt tremendous magic power even though he had no talent for recognizing magic power. Now i know why It feels like your hair is standing on end. Do all S-class wizards feel this way?
“Good job. Chief. You can stop and enjoy the party.”
“No. Personally, I’m a fan of SS, so I want to watch from the side a little more.”
He looks at me with a smile. He’s a fan, can you ask him to leave? He nodded that it didn’t matter since he was the one who knew the identity anyway.
“Then, where should I really start? Do you have any plans to work for the Beasts Association?”
I firmly refused. Because I know the contents of the work, even if I don’t know, I don’t think I’ll make you do something that’s not fun at first glance.
“It’s a pity. Anyway, I called you because I wanted to see your face. To defeat an S-class beast at the age of 17, Delaon has really great talent. Yes, the locals say they like it.”
He laughs and mentions the principal’s name. According to the story, the principal of Delaon was a disciple of the president of the association.
“But if his identity is revealed… It will be difficult for him to go to school.”
What is it? Are you threatening me now? As I narrowed my eyes, I waved my hand, saying not to misunderstand.
“Heh heh. I didn’t mean it that way. It’s still a bud that’s growing, so I’ll do my best to help it as an adult.”
I thought his personality was different from the original.
“Heaven won’t tell you that you are an SS. I bet on my position as president of the association.”
“I’m a bit coveted for the position of president of the association. I think you can go around talking to me?”
“Heh heh. A young man with a funny joke.”
It was then.
Perfect! With a sound, he snapped his fingers and a sword appeared in front of me. The scabbard and hilt are all black, as if they were painted with ink. Is this the spoils obtained after defeating Nemesis, the Queen of Predation? Even at first glance, it looks very cursed and ominous.
“Since you know about this sword, you must be well aware of its dangers, right?”
“Yes. I know.”
The writer was talking like crazy in the latter half. It is said that even touching this sword will rot your hands, and if you look down on the user, it will instantly kill you. One setting was terrifying.
“Even if you know it well, I’ll explain it one more time. It’s such a dangerous thing.”
“Damn.”
To hear from the president of the association one more time about the setting that the writer talked about like a second grader in the latter half. There was no hardship.
“Do you still want this? But what are you going to use this sword for? Look at the sword worn around your waist… Cool?”
This view of the world really doesn’t even think of a sword as a weapon. Is the sword worn around the waist accepting it as if it were just wearing sunglasses?
“This is my main weapon. I’m a mage who uses dual swords.”
“What?”
Everyone is startled, including the president of the association. Then the president of the association laughed out loud.
“This joke was funny too.”
I put my hand on the hilt to show that I didn’t believe it, and at that moment, the bodyguards cast a spell to protect him.
“I’m fine. I’ve always been curious about that sword. Could you show me?”
Is it because he is a wise man? Even though it was covered by the scabbard, it seemed that he noticed the mana of the blade blast.
Ugh-
I drew my sword and showed the magic that raged like a storm on the white blade. He couldn’t possibly be unaware of this magical power. One of the president’s disciples listened to his advice and sealed the Blade Gust Wolf.
“This is the magic of a blast of blades…! How did you get it?”
“The seal was broken and I caught it.”
I unlocked it, but in the end, the seal was finally released.
“Heh heh. Just like catching mosquitoes…”
“Keuuu~ Mr. SS. It’s cool.”
I heard the voice of the chief secretary next to me. I put the blast of the blade back into the scabbard and looked at the president of the association.
“Anyway, will this be enough? I deserve to have the black sword.”
The main weapon was a sword, and at the same time, it appealed subtly by showing a blade blast fang. You think you’re qualified enough. He closed his mouth and was lost in thought for a moment.
“But let me tell you. No one has ever used this sword. I also ended up sealing the demonic energy that flowed from the sword.”
I know. Thanks to this, this black sword has to be raised step by step from the beginning.
As the president of the association hesitated, the chief of staff next to him sided with me.
“Wouldn’t it be okay to pull out the sword for a while? He’s someone who handles gusts of blade magic, in other words, someone who has power comparable to that of an S-class wizard. After a while, nothing bad will happen.”
“Hmm… Yes. It seems difficult to persuade with words already. Ido-kun. It’s only for a moment. If you feel that something is strange, take your hand off the sword immediately.”
I can’t believe that, but I nodded in agreement.
“Will it become a young man’s gag, or a new hero will be born…”
“SS-sama, I’ll be by your side cheering you on!”
Soon enough, he reached out and grabbed the hilt of the black sword and peeled off the scabbard with the other hand.
[Curse of Nemesis (Sealed)]
[Power + 66.]
[Equipment limit: Strength 100, Intelligence 66,666.]
[Goddess Protection skill required.]
[Requires Blessed One skill.]
[Requires Holy Existence skill.]
[Requires Strong Will skill.]
You had to have all of the top skills to wear it. People who didn’t have that kind of thing took the knife, so curses and all sorts of weird things happened.
However, the twin sword wizard Kim Yi-do does not need those skills.
[The master of twin swords has been activated!]
[The curse of Nemesis (sealed) has been removed.]
I drew my sword as it was.
