Chapter 52: A huge mansion hundreds of square meters in size.
A huge mansion hundreds of square meters in size.
It is one of the ten most prominent mansions in the United Kingdom and was the home of Archbold’s family, the Hague family.
Scritch, scritch.
Archibald, sitting at his desk, concentrated on his studies by looking at numerous magic books, which, of course, was his specialty, Magic reverse calculation.
He is stepping up his training to resolve misunderstandings with Ban and to avenge Kang Yoo-sik, who humiliated him.
scritch…… scritch…….
However, contrary to his motivation, his hand movements, which he took notes on, gradually slowed down.
As he refined the formula of Magic reverse calculation, he came to a scene in his head.
‘Take a good look at this.’
Kang Yoo-sik’s confident expression.
Shortly thereafter, a magic reverse calculation, which seems to have created his imagination, leads to Magic Domination, which robs others of magic.
The ideal form of Magic reverse calculation, which he thought vaguely. Kang Yoo-sik showed how he wanted to reach one day.
“Kuuk…… Kuk…….”
The fact shook Archibald’s hand, which grabbed the pen, and soon he swept it strongly on his desk on impulse.
Clash!
Books fell on the floor, broken ink bottles and lamps, and stained the carpet. Archibald clenched his fist at the mess.
“Why……why…”!’
How could such perfect magic come from such a lowly fellow?
Archibald bit his lips at the fact that he couldn’t admit it, no, he didn’t want to admit it.
‘Like this…’ I’d rather be trapped in his shadow like this…….’
Wouldn’t it be better to throw away the Magic reverse calculation?
It wasn’t easy to throw away everything he had built over the years, but he didn’t want to walk looking at his back all his life.
When Archibald’s eyes were shaking with the thought that crossed his mind.
“Stupid.”
Douglas, who came into the room, looked at him with a cold look.
“Brother….”
“Are you doing such a stupid thing again because you can’t hold back your anger?”
“That’s not it…….”
Archibald, who had an embarrassing look on his face, covered the stain on the carpet, and Douglas, who frowned at it, approached him.
Slap!
And Archibald slapped him so hard that he turned his head.
“Brother….”
Archibald looked at him blankly in the first slap in his life, and Douglas stared at him with cold eyes.
“Are you going to shame the family, take away the property of the family, and now you are going to defame the family and give up everything?”
“I…… I…….”
“Look me in the eye. Archibald.”
eyes that remain cold but have not lost their fighting spirit. Archibald opened his eyes wide at the sight.
“It doesn`t matter what you felt in that guy named Kang Yu-sik. What’s important is that you must restore the honor of your family with your own hands.”
Restore the honor of the family.
By the story, His head, which had been filled with revenge, woke up. What he really needs to do, he just remembered it.
“So if you can be strong, learn even if it’s an enemy’s skill. You give up your pride, lower yourself, and do everything you can.”
“……can I do it?”
Douglas nodded at Archibald’s question.
“Even though he’s ahead now, I’m sure you’ll be able to get ahead if time goes by. That’s what I believe.”
Douglas. Archibald clenched his fist at the sight of his brother believing in the blood of the Hague family, who spoke without wavering at all.
“For sure…… I will make him regret it. I’m going to kill him with the technology he showed me…… He’s going to curse himself and make him die……!”
Archibald, whose impotence was lost and burned a moment ago.
Douglas smiled contentedly at the sight.
“That’s fine. I’ll spare all my support, so don’t change your mind.”
“Yes, sir!”
With a nod, Archibald looked at the stain on the carpet. He felt something very slightly repulsive, but this would disappear over time.
Thinking so, Archibald clenched his fist tightly.

[This meets the terms of the debt relationship.]
[The debtor ‘Archibald Hague’ has been registered. He is rated D on his debt rating.
‘Ah. It came.’
Kang Yoo-sik smiled when he saw the notification window that popped up in front of him.
I thought he gave up Reverse calculation because he didn’t hear from Hague even after he returned, but he also couldn’t seem to throw it away.
‘From the first realization, Class D……it seems to have been very useful.’
Since he has encountered the technology that can originally be expanded 10 years later, the influence is bound to be great.
Kang Yoo-sik recalled Archibald, who was training excitedly by now and stroked his chin.
‘What does he think about learning.’
He may be learning to change and appreciate me. However, given Douglas’s perspective and Archibald’s personality, this possibility is remote.
It’s very likely that he’s training, giving up his pride, to get back at me.
‘It’s a difficult world to live without a creditor…….’
I showed him his future direction, and he is not grateful, and he only thinks of betraying me. His heart trembled at what this situation would have been without his creditors.
‘I really don’t want to, but I’ll have to be prepared just in case.’
Will he be ruined in the long run by giving him a condition, or will he accumulate debt and take away the skills he has gained from months of hard work?
When Kang Yoo-sik is agonizing over which way to go.
Ban Hye-young, who was sitting next to her, looked at him, raising her sleep shade.
“What…… do you have a good thing?”
“What?”
“No, you keep humming……and you laugh…….”
Kang Yoo-sik coughed and cleared up his expression as Ban Hye-young looked at him with a curious expression.
“No, well, I’ve been thinking about this and that.”
“Hmm. You’ll definitely laugh when you think about winning a prize in a week.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s say you’re right.”
Ban Hye-young, who smiled, lowered her sleep shade again, and Kang Yoo-sik, who saw the scene, turned his head sideways and looked out the window.
Unlike Korea, where modern buildings are lined up, the streets are lined with antique buildings.
Realizing again that he was driving down the streets of London, England, Kang Yoo-sik had a strange look.
‘I didn’t know I’d come all of a sudden.’
There was a week left until the finals, and Kang Yoo-sik had nothing to prepare, so he thought he would go two days before the finals.
Suddenly, Ban Hye-young called him into the lab and offered him two plane tickets.
‘We’re going tomorrow. Keep your things.’
‘……yes?’
So suddenly, he had a schedule, and he flew from Korea to England in three hours on a private plane sent by the Round Academy today.
Still, in a daze, Kang Yoo-sik glanced at Ban Hye-young, who was wearing a sleeping eye patch.
‘There must be something there.’
If she comes a week before the finals, she must have an additional business.
But no matter why he asks Ban Hye-young, she doesn’t want to teach him.
‘It’s definitely a good thing to see her smile every time I ask.’
Ban Hye-young won’t plan anything bad for me in the first place. But I can’t prepare it in advance because it doesn’t tell me what it is.
‘Hmm. What’s in the Round Academy?’
Later, Round Academy lost first place to Sungjin and went down, but it remained TOP3.
Although overall inferior to Sungjin, this is because the magic curriculum was similar.
‘……I can’t. There are too many possibilities.’
There are so many good things about Round Academy that I can’t guess what it is.
Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to just wait calmly this time, leaned his body in the seat, and a moment later, the driver opened his mouth in the front seat.
“We are expected to arrive soon.”
In the story of the driver, Kang Yoo-sik looked out of the window again, and a huge wall built on a large piece of land was beginning to be seen off the streets of London.
A total of 13 pagodas lead to fortress-like walls.
Its appearance appears to be an old wall of stone, but when he improved his vision with Cognitive Maximization, he saw a scene beyond imagination.
‘They put magic on each brick. It’s all…… it’s always like a perv.’
The walls of the Round Academy look like it’s going to break with a spell, but in reality, it’s strong enough to last hours even if the disaster-grade Devil attacks.
While he was watching the scene, the car passed through the wall, and shortly afterward, the main building of the Round Academy was revealed as they crossed the inner garden.
“Ukkk…… it’s dazzling.”
Ban Hye-young, who took off the sleep shade, frowned right away, and Kang Yoo-sik was also impressed by the main building.
“That’s a lot of flashing…….”
If the walls outside reminded him of the fortress, the main building consisted of a colorful exterior that reminded him of the palace.
a colorful form of art rather than a building
I’ve seen this a few times in pictures before I went back, but it was different when I saw it in person.
‘It’s just as cool as I’ve ever heard.’
Kang Yoo-sik, who recalled what he had previously talked to Yoon Hee-jin, was looking out the window when the car arrived in front of the main gate and stopped.
“Here we are.”
Ban Hye-young got out of the car first, and Kang Yoo-sik also got off and looked up at the main building.
The view is more spectacular as they come outside. Several magic tricks were applied to it, and the wavelength of mana was shaking mysteriously, which was like a different world.
‘No, it’s really like a different world…….’
Kang Yoo-sik, who had a strange look on his face, looked up at the main building, and a sound was felt in front of him.
“Welcome.”
He had a white beard that stretched to his chest, and he wore a white robe and a cone hat.
And he even held a wooden cane. It really looked like a wizard from an old story, but Kang Yoo-sik was more surprised by something else.
‘That’s, they’re all S-levels.’
The hat and robe were S-class armor called the Sage’s Legacy, and the cane was an enormous piece of equipment called the World Tree’s Branches, even though it seemed insignificant.
The old man was wearing equipment that was too much to be converted into money. Kang Yoo-sik could immediately recognize who he was.
“Round Academy Chief of Magic Heinz Gambon.”
As a young man, he was called Ron Druid and was a first-generation hunter who rose to the S-level in recognition of his achievements. That’s the old man who appeared in front of Kang Yoo-sik now.
He expected him to meet him, but seeing him in person made him feel amazing again.
When Kang Yoo-sik was looking at him with a curious look, Ban Hye-young, standing next to him, waved her hand.
“Long time no see, old man. You’re alive, aren’t you?”
“Yes, he’s alive. Do you say that from the beginning? That means your personality is still the same.”
“Well, it’s nothing compared to you. Haha!”
“I thought your personality didn’t change, but your narrow mind doesn’t change. Haha.”
“…….”
The two smiled and exchanged fighting greetings. With that intimate look, Kang Yoo-sik looked at them with a trembling expression, and Heinz turned his head.
“This kid… The treasure?”
“Yes, it’s my treasure.”
“What…… No…… hmm.”
Kang Yoo-sik’s face turned red when Ban Hye-young told a great story casually, and Heinz smiled at him.
“You’re crazy.”
Mumbling quietly, Heinz stood in front of Kang Yoo-sik and held out his right hand.
“I am Heinz Gambon. I am the dean of magic here. It’s not as important as treasure, so be comfortable with me.”
“I’m Kang Yoo-sik. Nice to meet you.”
Kang Yoo-sik shook his mouth and held his hand at the smile of Heinz.
He looked like a wise man, but now he just looks like an old man with a bad personality.
‘I can see why people call him an old man…….’
When Kang Yoo-sik was thinking about how to cover Ban Hye-young’s mouth before it got worse, the shadow wriggled behind Heinz.
‘Hmm?
Kang Yoo-sik looked at it curiously, and Heinz smiled and turned his head back.
“Are you going to keep hiding like that?”
“…….”
“If you don’t come out, the man you’ve been waiting for will go away.”
The shadows wiggled in Heinz’s story and then walked out beside him.
“…….”
As soon as he saw that, Kang Yoo-sik’s body hardened.
Snow-like white hair and silver eyes.
She was a young-looking girl who looked about 14 years old, and her appearance gave her a mysterious atmosphere.
This was surprising enough, but that was not why Kang Yoo-sik was surprised to see the girl.
“She is my youngest disciple.”
She’s still young, but her features were exactly the same as I remembered.
Ban Hye-young’s best disciple. Five heroes, and the one who hit me sick.
“She is Wilhelmina Einburg.”
She was a Frost Witch.
