Chapter 2370 – 2370. Modern Magic Challenge

Inside a building in Seoul.

I was alone with a man. He was a middle-aged man with a neat appearance. He wore glasses and his dark suit was disheveled.

The man held out a paper cup filled with coffee. I kept my eyes on the man without even looking at the coffee.

“I am Park Hyeon-woong, director of the National Order Bureau. Thank you for your obedient cooperation with the Order Bureau. Thanks to you, work became easier.”

National Order Bureau.

Republic of Korea government agency. A place that mainly handles cases related to magic.

“This is Seong Yu-jin. “You probably already know.”

Even as I spoke, I did not let my guard down towards him. I know Park Hyun-woong’s strength because I’ve seen the original, but… Seeing it in a cartoon and experiencing it in person are two different things. I wasn’t sure I could definitely beat him.

“A sincere second-year college student. The surrounding reputation is not bad. My parents passed away in an incident two years ago… It has nothing to do with his relatives. I’ve done a lot of research on you… Your personality as written in the information does not match your personality now. More than anything… Were you a wizard from the beginning? Bringing in rain clouds to suppress the forest fire… “It’s not a power that an ordinary wizard can show.”

“I was a wizard from the beginning… Does it matter? “The important thing now is my choice.”

Park Hyeon-woong thought for a moment and then nodded.

“How much do you know about grimoires?”

“A magical object that allows you to use magic?”

“Okay. That’s how much it was known to the public. “Then do you know how the grimoire appears?”

“…”

I knew, but I kept my mouth shut. This is because information related to the creation of grimoires is controlled in this world. If I knew, it would arouse unnecessary suspicion.

“People’s aspirations. A curse, some evil ritual, or a blessing of something. Grimoires are created for all kinds of reasons, including unknown coincidences and natural disasters. Most grimoires are born by chance… You can make it if you want to. That’s why detailed information about grimoires is controlled.”

“Why are you telling me controlled information?”

“This is information that all members of the National Order Bureau know. This is information that everyone knows. Seong Yu-jin. Come into the National Order Bureau. The National Order Bureau needs a strong wizard like you.”

“Sure.”

Park Hyun-woong’s eyes widen. He spoke hurriedly, managing his expression.

“Did you originally intend to join the Bureau of Order? I have prepared quite a few things to persuade you… I’m a little disappointed. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s disappointing. “Welcome to the Bureau of Order.”

“However, there is a condition.”

The reason I joined the Bureau of National Order is because the Bureau of National Order is at the center of the original story. From the perspective of aiming for a happy ending, it is better to be at the center of the story.

“Is it. I feel fortunate that there are conditions. “Tell me.”

“I want a captain-level position. To roll around with those idiots… “I’m too strong.”

“I admit that you are strong. The amount of magical power is unusual, and he also possesses at least two grimoires. However, the position of captain of the Great Demon Troop is a position that only proven magicians can attain. Above all, the positions of captains of the current seven anti-magic attribute units are fully occupied.”

“The reason I want the rank of commander is that I want independent operational authority. It doesn’t matter if we create a separate unit.”

“Independent operational authority? Even the rank of captain is not given that much authority.”

“Okay? That’s a little different from what I expected. “I guess I’ll have to hold off on joining the National Order Bureau.”

“… What is your purpose?”

“Killing the Harrier.”

He said firmly.

Harrier. Magical criminals who abuse magic for crimes. It was necessary to sweep these away for a happy ending.

“I suggested it because I thought I could easily kill the Harrier if I had the power of a captain in the anti-horse unit… It doesn’t matter if not. Even if I work alone, I can kill them.”

“The Republic of Korea does not allow private sanctions.”

“Then why not try blocking it?”

“…”

Magical power flows from Park Hyun-woong. First, the intention to kill Ki was clearly visible. I laughed at him and countered with his magic power. A clash between magic and magic. Objects around me vibrate slightly in this quiet struggle.

“… I’m sorry. This is it. I took a quick look at your skills. You seem to have the amount of magic power and magic manipulation skills appropriate for a captain level.”

“Can I just accept this as an offer to give me the position of commander?”

“I think I would regret it very much if I let you go from the National Order Bureau right now. Ah, you still have to meet the minimum conditions.”

“Should I at least build up some results? I guess I can just go out and catch a few harriers.”

“Of course performance is important. But what is more important than that is force. And what can be said to be a symbol of that powerlessness… Ars Magnage.”

“Ars Magna? What is that?”

I asked knowingly in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion.

“Your grimoire. “Bring out the Blue Phoenix.”

I took out the lighter.

“Ars Magna speaks of the true power of the grimoire. The difference between a leader and a crew member is whether they can pull it off or not. Your grimoire, Blue Phoenix, was first recorded 1,500 years ago. It is said that the blue phoenix’s Ars Magna fire flame sets everything on fire.”

“This lighter is 1,500 years old? Were there disposable lighters back then?”

“The appearance of the grimoire is not important. It can change depending on the times and owners. How is it. “Can you bring out the blue fire?”

Tick ​​tick.

I rolled the flint of the disposable lighter with my thumb a few times and a fire started. Red light. It was a flame burning with my magic as fuel, not gas.

‘I think I know, but I don’t.’

Regardless of my skills, less than two hours have passed since I obtained the grimoire. Even using the power of a grimoire is immature. Therefore, it is impossible according to common sense to bring out the true power of the grimoire and all.

‘But if it’s a talent that goes beyond common sense, it’s a different story.’

[Activates Genius Time for 10 seconds.]

The grimoire and I are connected. The proof is that I handle flame.

Through self-contemplation, we trace the connection and understand the grimoire. Self-contemplation is something that was boring in [The Way of Ascension to Brightness]. Moreover, he used up the time of a genius. It wasn’t difficult to grasp the essence of Blue Phoenix.

It was a flame.

A blue burning flame.

Ars Magna – Wind Flame

Dull.

A blue flame burned brightly above the lighter. The consumption of magical power has increased five times.

Park Hyun-woong laughed helplessly as if he was dumbfounded.

“It’s been less than a day since I got the Blue Phoenix, but I never thought I’d use Ars Magna. What an outrageous talent. Good. “You are now the captain of the 8th battalion.”

“Was there an 8th battalion?”

“8th Anti-horse Unit. Since we can’t just force the existing captains to retire, isn’t it natural to create a new unit? I will select members from other units and send them to the 8th Battalion. However, I have no intention of forcing the members.”

“It doesn’t really matter. Ah. Is it okay if I scout other wizards as my subordinates? “I am the leader.”

“I do the final judging. If you are not a criminal and there are no major problems, I will allow it. The anti-horse unit is always short of talent.”

He gestures to stop me from putting the lighter away and getting up.

“Is there still anything left to say?”

“Haha. That’s heartless. Isn’t this a colleague I will be working with in the future? In a way, you could say they are comrades in arms. I have many questions for you. Something like the power to control rain.”

“I don’t have many questions.”

“Don’t do that. Shouldn’t there be salary negotiation or something? And aren’t you curious about that golden brown harrier?”

“You can take care of your salary. Is he alive? Burns to the entire body were standard, and organs including the eyes were burned. “It wouldn’t be surprising if he died right now.”

“The 6th Battalion’s support skills are excellent. Even if a limb is cut off, it can recover. Just know. Even if he has a fierce battle with the Harriers, he can recover as long as he lives.”

I talked about various things with Hyunwoong Park. Although it was boring, we had a rough conversation.

• • •

The next day.

The 8th Battalion was given an office at headquarters. According to Park Hyeon-woong, he quickly cleaned out what had been a warehouse and turned it into an office. He didn’t care. Since I don’t use the office often anyway.

Afterward, he said he would purchase another building and give it the headquarters of the 8th Battalion. I didn’t have many expectations.

As I was walking down the hallway toward the headquarters office, three men blocked me. They were men wearing suits but giving off a rough atmosphere. Among them, a muscular man with dreadlocks smiled darkly and said.

“Who is this? As soon as he entered the Order Bureau, he became the leader of a new unit. “There was a rumor that he was the director’s secret son. Is that true, sir?”

“What are you again?”

“This is Yoo Seok-chang, commander of the 3rd Battalion~ Captain of the 8th Battalion. The captain’s position was mine, but I was pushed out thanks to a suddenly rolling stone. “I really feel like shit, don’t I?”

“I feel more like shit. “Because a bastard like you is starting a fight without even knowing the topic.”

“What, this bastard?!”

Kwaaang!

A huge wind caught the three of them and crushed them to the floor. They couldn’t even react to the sudden appearance.

“Did you say Yusutchang? “Don’t make noise about a weak subject.”

I remember what Park Hyun-woong said yesterday. The 6th Battalion is so skilled that they can recover even if their limbs are cut off, right?

Weeeeeing.

I rotated the wind and tore off their limbs.

“Click ah ah ah!”

A loud scream rings out. At this level, other people would have heard it.

“Is the director so stupid that he gave me the position of commander of the 8th battalion? From now on, look at your opponent carefully and play tricks.”

“Fuck you! Do you think you can get away with this?! “My sister will rip you to death!!”

“You’re using a dragon to kill me.”

Howling!

A flame arose and roasted Yoo Seok-chang until golden brown. He didn’t kill. If you do that, things will get bigger.

“Aaaaah!”

I left the guy’s scream behind and went into the office.
