chapter 20
20 episodes
Cafe ‘Lilac’ located in Borsifa’s shopping street.
It is one of the stores opened by graduates and is famous for its brightly decorated flowers with various flowers, so it was always crowded with cadets as well as visitors from outside.
“The manager here is a graduate of our enchantment department, so it’s no joke. All the flowers in the cafe are enchanted to keep them in their best condition 365 days a year.”
“… … .”
“Ah, this may not come to you if you don’t know the enchantment, but how difficult it is to enchant a living creature like a flower to maintain its quality… … .”
Se-Hoon Lee looked at Leah Claudel, a girl who had a lot of things to say, with a strange expression on her face.
When asked what occupations you often collaborate with blacksmiths, nine out of ten answer that they are enchanters. A blacksmith who creates weapons and an enchanter that further raises the power of the finished weapon.
Unless you really live like a single mourner, the only thing you can’t help but get along with is the relationship between the blacksmith and the enchanter.
‘Lea Claudel… … .’
So, if you were a blacksmith, you had no choice but to listen to the famous Enchanter, even if you didn’t want to, and Leah Claudel in front of you was the same.
A genius who completely destroyed the enchanter industry. A maniac who upgraded rare grade weapons to legendary grade weapons.
That is the future of the girl Leah Claudel in front of her.
‘I knew the age difference was small, but I must have been at Babel… … No, in a way, it’s natural.’
Most of the great heroes come from barbells, so if you’re of the same age, there’s a good chance they’ll all be inside barbells.
Sehun Lee also knew that much, but he looked at him with a curious expression because he never thought that he would come across such a famous person so easily.
‘Anyway, there’s nothing wrong with being a real Leah Claudel.’
I don’t know what happened, but a relationship was established in the blink of an eye. Considering the future fame, the effect of the Integrity Stone would not be bad either.
Se-hun Lee, who had sorted out his thoughts to some extent, looked at Leah, who was constantly chattering.
“So what’s important is the blood flow… … .”
“Stop chattering and get to the point.”
“ah. Is that so?”
“… … .”
Leah changed her attitude as if she had been waiting. Seeing this, Sehun Lee looked at him with an absurd expression and she smiled.
“no. It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to a person, so I’m going to bring out the stories I’ve been building up, so I don’t know… … .”
“Main subject.”
“ah. oh okay. It’s the gist, the gist.”
Leah, who knocked on her mouth, sips the coffee in front of her and then spoke again in a slightly calmer voice.
“To be honest, I want to enchant the bracelet that you made.”
“Is this what you mean?”
Sehun Lee rolled up his sleeve slightly and showed the rosary ring, and Leah’s eyes twinkled again.
If you move your arms slightly, you follow them and move your head. Lee Se-hoon smiled bitterly at the reaction that seemed to have fallen in love.
‘but. If it’s Mukjungam, there’s no way it’s like that.’
Where is it easy for a general cadet to find Mukjungam, which is a hero grade and sells like crazy?
Seeing Leah staring at Leah with lively eyes where the hazy eyes he had seen for the first time went, Sehun Lee unwrapped the rosary wreath on his right arm and held it out.
“… … uh?”
“You didn’t even see the information window. Take a look.”
“uh? oh Information… … information window? This should be advanced… … No, rare grade?!”
Leah opened her eyes and looked down at the rosary ring in her hand. Lee Se-hoon made a strange expression in response to that fussy reaction.
‘It’s a real stellar species.’

Not having frequent conversations with other people, and seeing things that the head of the department doesn’t even know about, shows no interest in the outside world, only in things related to enchantments.
Even before the return, I had heard that he was crazy about enchantments, but seeing this, it was clear that the rumors were not exaggerated.
Depending on the person, he might be quite reluctant, but Lee Se-hun liked the way he looked.
‘Anyway, it’s because I have the skills.’
If you’re a crazy person with no horns, you’ll go straight to the hammer, but if you have enough skills, the story will be different.
“Rare grade weapons made from Mukjungstone. Besides, it has a function of absorbing magical power and storing it. Just add a few formulas… … No, I don’t want to end with this… … .”
Leah looks at the rosary and mumbles a story she can’t understand. Seeing this, Sehun Lee did not rush and drank the smoothie in front of him and spent time.
After 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and an hour, it was lunch time and the number of cadets buying sandwiches began to increase.
“ah. no.”
Leah, who put down the rosary wreath, muttered with a blank expression. Seeing that half-passed look, Sehun Lee asked while eating the sandwich he ordered.
“Is it worse than you think?”
“no. Armor is no problem. Rather, it is more than I expected, so my heart is full.”
As she drank the fourth cup of coffee at once, Leah looked at Lee Se-hun with sparkling eyes.
“But there are so many things I want to do.”
“Hmm. okay?”
“okay! This bracelet is amazing! I made it with Mukjungam, so why is it so compatible?! There are so many formulas that you can put in, you can’t decide which one to choose… … .”
Seeing Leah trying to tell the story again, Sehun Lee brought a pre-ordered sandwich in front of him and cut off his words.
“In a word, there are more types that can be enchanted than you think, so you are worried?”
“right. That’s right.”
“If that’s the case, it doesn’t really matter.”
“uh?”
Seeing Leah’s puzzled appearance, Sehun Lee raised the sleeve of the opposite side and showed the rosary ring.
“There are more.”
“… … .”
“Oh, and.”
Sehun Lee brought the returned rosary ring, and a resonance phenomenon occurred between them and he trembled.
“This has a resonance phenomenon, so if you want to enchant it, take a look at it.”
“… … .”
Leah stared blankly at the sight in front of her, and immediately touched her forehead and ordered another cup of black coffee.
“Wait a minute. I think I’m overloaded right now. Hang in there.”
Leah, who drank fresh coffee and ate a sandwich, looked at Lee Se-hun after thinking for a while.
“What the hell are you?”
Sehun Lee answered, thinking that it would take a very long time to get his name.
“Sehun Lee. I am a freshman in the smelting department, and this year, I am the head of the department of Borsippa.”
“1 Grade? Ah, but still, if you’re the head of the department, it’s worth it. That’s great… … .”
Leah, slightly impressed by Se-Hoon Lee’s introduction, introduced herself while coughing.
“I’m Leah Claudel, a third-year student in the Faculty of Enchantment. and… … Well… … Anything else to explain?”
“Well. If I want to enchant my weapons, I have to show my skills.”

Now that you know what type of person you are, it’s time to look at your skills. Leah nodded at Lee Se-hun’s story.
“great. You showed me something like this, so I should give you something in return.”
Click.
Leah, who pulled out one of the hairpins in her braided hair, triumphantly handed it to Sehun Lee.
A hairpin with a silvery body around a blue gem. At first glance, it looked like a shooting star, but Sehun Lee made an interesting expression.
‘It’s more complete than I thought… … no way.’
Just in case, Sehun Lee looked at the information window of the hairpin that was handed to him.
[Mercury Mk.1]
[Rating: Rare] [Quality: Best]
A hairpin that mimics the shape of Mercury.
An item that enhances the power of the given skill by processing an ore containing water attribute magic to refine its power and imitate the origin of a star.
*Increases the wearer’s water attribute resistance and dominance.
*You can use the skill ‘Water Comet’.
‘It’s a rare grade best product. The material doesn’t look very good, but it’s well made.’
The grade is high compared to the material, and above all, the overall perfection is excellent. If you take a little more sense here, it wouldn’t be strange if you could create something of a hero grade right away.
Of course, it’s not as easy as it sounds to get a sense of it, but it made a big difference whether you were ready or not.
‘Should I say… … That’s great.’
When Sehun Lee is looking at the hairpins with interest. The entrance to the cafe suddenly became noisy.
Sehun Lee thought he was just coming to eat with a group, but he didn’t want to worry about it.
“Hey. back.”
“… … ha.”
He sighed and turned his head to see Leah, who was pointing behind him, and the stinging gazes on his back.
The first thing he sees is a young man with a ferocious impression that he has seen anywhere. Looking at the face and the cadets standing around, Sehun Lee immediately recalled their identities.
‘They are Erica’s men.’
Why did they suddenly come to you with such a bloody expression on their face?
Because there were so many reasons to point it out, Sehun Lee looked up at them as if he wanted to say something.
“… … I have a story to tell. Would you like to go out for a while?”
What you say is a recommendation, but if you look at it in your eyes, it’s nothing like a threat. In the same situation as when he first saw him at the bus stop, Sehun Lee was troubled for a moment.
‘How do I do this?’
Judging by their eyes, they have now passed the level where they can ignore each other and pass by.
In the end, we will have to look at a solution in some form, but how should we do it? When Sehun Lee is thinking of several ways.
“Where are you going?”
Leah, who was sitting opposite Lee Se-hun, narrowed her eyes and stared at her subordinates.
“Can’t you see I’m talking to you first?”
“… … I want to solve it quietly. Just a moment, please.”
Leah’s eyes contorted at the sight of Seits, a young man who continued to talk only to Sehun Lee while blatantly ignoring her words, then twisted the corners of her lips.
“Like a bastard who only listens to his master, he doesn’t seem to understand human language.”
“… … What?”
“Can you tell me so I can understand? bruise! Get out of here, you idiot!”
Leah sarcastically swears and even makes dog noises. Seits’s face was viciously contorted at that outright mockery, and then he grinned and stared at him.
“You are still arrogant on the subject of trash, who couldn’t even hold the position of head of department.”
“under! Are you saying that a bastard who has never even won a head of department, let alone a department, is calling it a provocation? I’m not really funny… … .”
“It’s an assault. I’m just stating the fact that there is, but I don’t know why it’s a provocation. It’s not a lie that my grades went down because I brought a failing piece to every exam.”
quickly.
Seits laughed at Leah’s teeth, and her eyes lit up and her lips twisted.
“under. under. under. Are you still at the top? If anyone hears it, I think I’m a bastard who is chasing after my juniors after graduating and trying to get a job even though I don’t have the skills.”
“you… … .”
“why? I was just stating the fact that Oh, is it because you forgot to do what you did with that great ‘Bocchan’ servant? I’m sorry~”
quickly.
A terrifying air current swirling between the two of them.
In the bloody atmosphere that seemed like they were going to be hit at any moment beyond the nerve war, Sehun Lee calmly recalled only the necessary information.
‘Slump. This is a bit surprising.’
Considering his fame before his return, I thought he was definitely on the ups and downs, but it seems like he had a difficult time.
Sehun Lee, realizing why Leah was interested in the rosary ring, and that the relationship was established in the blink of an eye, slowly opened his mouth to end the conversation.
“Until there.”
damn!
Lee Se-hun, who drew attention by clapping lightly, looked at Leah, whose eyes were half-turned.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
“What?”
“Among the enchantment department, is there any minor you would like to recommend?”
I spoke around a bit, but it wouldn’t be so ignorant that I couldn’t understand it.
Lee Se-hoon responded positively with his eyes twinkling as if Leah did when.
“Ancient enchantment science. It would be great to have a good professor here and also a great senior.”
“I’ll take note of it.”
After all, the relationship has been established, so it will not be too late to learn more about it while attending that class together.
Sehun Lee, who decided to take a look at Inseok too, got up from his seat and looked at Seits and his subordinates who were standing behind him.
“Let’s talk in a quiet place. guide me.”
“… … Follow me.”
“If that bastard does something strange, tell me later!”
Lee Se-hun, who left the cafe with Leah sees off, followed his subordinates.
We arrived at the Faculty of Education, which is not far from the shopping district. It was one of the departments with a high position in Borsippa, and both the main building and the surrounding forest were gloomy places.
“From here on, let’s go together.”
Lee Se-hoon and Seits go into the forest alone, leaving the other subordinates behind. In that strange atmosphere, Sehun Lee looked around.
‘In the dark forest with no eyes to see. It’s just so standard.’
When Se-Hoon Lee is following behind with an interesting expression in the expected situation. Seits, who was walking ahead, abruptly stopped walking and looked back.
“The first week of school will be the busiest time, so let’s be straight-forward.”
“try.”
Seits frowned at the sight of Lee Se-hun urging her head by shaking her head, then sighed and answered.
“Apologize for being rude to Miss Erica.”
“I have never done anything rude.”
Seitsu bit his lip in response to Lee Se-hoon’s calm response and continued the story with a deep breath.
“Are you going to tear up the invitation that the lady gave you twice in front of others and say something like that?”
“The lady told me to tear it apart.”
I just did what I was told, so why did you ask this here? Seitsu nodded as Lee Sehun looked at him with an absurd expression.
“okay. Your words make sense… … .”
And he looked at Lee Se-hoon with cold eyes.
“If only I hadn’t gotten an invitation from Jake Myers.”
“What else… … ah.”
The moment Lee Se-hoon frowned at the story of Seits, who could not understand the English language. What Jake had said suddenly came to mind.
The Noblesse Exchange Meeting is a gathering place for cadets with brilliant backgrounds. And, of course, there was no guarantee that all of them were one.
There will be relationships that compete in one field, and there will be relationships that are intertwined with personal blessings.
‘It seems that Myers and Inoue don’t get along very well.’
The invitation that Erika Inoue had invited twice was torn and thrown away, and the invitation from Jake Myers was received.
Considering the circumstances alone, it is nothing more than a coincidence, but there is no way the sleazy bastards who attend such exchanges can afford to miss out on a lot of gossip.
‘Did you come here because your face was hurt because of that?’
From Lee Se-hoon’s point of view, this is ridiculous, but for those who value the group more than himself, it will be unbearable.
Sehun Lee, having grasped the general situation, pondered for a moment and then asked Seits.
“Did Erica do it?”
“It doesn’t matter to Mrs. It was done on my own initiative.”
At Seits’ answer, Sehun smirked.
‘Puck, I will.’
A guy who values the group’s reputation is doing this arbitrarily? There may be, but at least Seits in front of him didn’t look that stupid.
Sehun Lee, who shook his head for a moment, quickly recognized who the instigator was.
“It looks like the master or the guy doing something.”
“… … Apologize to Mrs. Then it will just be over.”
He didn’t answer, but it was as if he had admitted it.
At Seits’s story, Sehun Lee traced his memory of who the mastermind was.
‘maybe… … It must be Ren Inoue, the next head of the family.’
Erika’s older brother and a genius of shikigami who commanded the Inoue clan in the distant future.
I’ve often heard from Amir, the ice dog, that he is far behind among the heroes, but apparently it wasn’t a rumor.
‘Did he come first?’
Certainly, considering the steps before the return, it is possible to pay a lot of attention to the face of the family. Sehun Lee, who understood all the circumstances, looked around the forest with a more relaxed face.
“If you don’t do it, what will you die here?”
“Even so, I don’t do that. but… … .”
shit.
The moment Seitz lightly flicked his finger. Magical power surges from all over the forest, and a bleak air surrounds them.
A phenomenon indicating that the barrier has been activated. Seits, who showed hostility, looked at him with cold eyes.
“It’s possible that he accidentally went into the Curse Department’s facility and was found wounded.”
I’ll beat you to the point where you can’t even notice it, and I’ll make you feel better. Sehun fully understood what Seits was trying to say and smiled.
“okay. I’ve prepared everything so that I won’t fall behind. This is it.”
Then you don’t need to be patient with this either. Having reached the conclusion, Sehun looked at Seits and spoke calmly.
“you. Do you know what I’m good at making next to armour?”
“… … .”
Seeing Seits’ eyes as if he was suddenly saying something, Sehun Lee took off his cadet jacket and continued the conversation calmly.
“Person.”
“… … What?”
At Seitz’s bewildered question, Sehun Lee threw his jacket behind him.
“It’s called making a stupid bastard.”
