Chapter 217 – Chapter 217. Attack

Saturday afternoon. Iron Blood Hospital.

“You’ve worked hard, saintess.”

“Thank you. I’ll go first.”

Baek Ah-yeong stood up from her seat as he finished his work.

“Yes! You worked hard!”

– Thank you for your hard work!

“Thank you.”

When Baek Ah-young leaves work, she is greeted by everyone in the hospital. Even the patient.

Baek Ah-young, who finished her greetings by making eye contact with each other, came out.

Again and again.

Now that she has finished all of her work for the day, she intends to go home and rest.

‘There are two days left.’

When she goes back to the academy, she will have to work as a nurse again.

The position of teacher nurse was made by her academy in order to receive Baek A-yeong, so she was not a busy position to be honest.

‘It’s not bad to hang out with patients after a long time.’

The intense emotions she felt every day when she worked for the association.

Helping people and being appreciated.

For Baek Ah-young, that was healing.

“Oh, are you done?”

As soon as she exited her building, her high-pitched voice hit Baek A-young’s ears.

“… Yeji?”

“I came because I missed you after a long time.”

Min Ye-ji, a cat-like beauty.

Baek Ah-young’s acquaintance.

She is the team leader of the Iron Blood Guild, and it was thanks to Min Ye-ji that Baek Ah-young entered the Iron Blood Hospital where Lee Ho-yeon was hospitalized.

“You say you’re busy with work. What’s the matter?”

“I have something to stop by here. I have something to investigate.”

“Inspection?”

“Yeah. They say that a child from a famous guild seems to have become a Mine.”

“Aha.”

A Hunter becoming a Mine.

It’s rare, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Min Ye-ji and Baek Ah-yeong passed both of them off without thinking.

“My A-young came to see what she’s working hard on. The person I put it in shouldn’t play and eat~.”

“Hehe. Thank you. But I’m glad you helped me.”

“No. It’s only for a short time, but what a great help it is for the saintess to be at the Sangvis Sangvis Hospital. Come to think of it, did Hoenn and the students have a good hospital life?”

“… Yes.”

The hospitalized life spent with Lee Ho-yeon.

It was only about a week, but it was a happy time.

Because we confirmed each other’s feelings and made a solid relationship.

Especially when they confessed to each other… It was really good back then.

Thinking of that night, Baek Ah-young’s face turned slightly red, and Min Ye-ji saw that and she crossed her arms over Baek Ah-young.

“Wow, it looks like he really liked it. Look at our Ah-yeong’s expression. He was such an innocent kid.”

“… It could be something.”

Baek A-young pushed Min Ye-ji away and managed her expression.

Because the corner of her mouth tried to go up without noticing.

“Okay. Let’s get together again after work at Sangvis Hospital. How about three of us drinking together with Sol?”

“I can’t eat well, but… I like it. Come to think of it, Sol-yi is still studying?”

“Yeah. But they’re almost done. They say they’re going to have a magic fair or something next week.”

“A magic fair?”

“Yeah, but I don’t know what I’m doing.”

Min Ye-ji raised her arm and made a gesture of not knowing, but Baek Ah-yeong remembers hearing from Im Sol.

‘He said he was going with Hoyeon.’

Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon.

Although they are master and disciple, they must not be careless.

“Isn’t that with Hoyeon?”

“Ah… Was it? I think it was.”

“…”

“Ah, don’t worry. Sol doesn’t care about men. What I’m teasing is just teasing.”

“… Yes. I know.”

But Baek A-young still remembers the feelings she felt before.

When Im Sol talks about Lee Ho-yeon.

It doesn’t seem like a big crush yet… There was obviously a crush.

‘I can become a competitor at any time.’

She must never let her guard down even if she gets ahead of herself now.

Because Lee Ho-yeon is that kind of a man.

Baek Ah-young clenched her fists, solidifying her resolve.

“Are you okay? It must be hard to follow.”

At the training ground inside Rebecca’s hideout, Rebecca and I faced each other.

He was holding a staff with a purple crystal ball from where he got it, but it didn’t seem to be a particularly helpful artifact.

“Is that wand an ornament?”

“Oh, yes. Did you notice? It makes you look a little more scared.”

It’s definitely like that, so it’s like a real witch.

“Um, as expected, I should stop right now…”

“Why?”

Rebecca has been repeating the same thing since before.

Is it difficult to ask you to tell me about the rune’s barrier?

If you see him trying to revive the Rune clan, he probably doesn’t want to tell you.

“… The barrier of runes is not simple.”

“I’m going to try something.”

Anyway, it’s been a while since I came to the training ground, so I feel strange.

It’s been a long time since I haven’t been to the academy.

“This is not a realm covered by talent… Education from the Rune clan…”

Why are you so worried?

You can just do it.

“I got it. Rebecca. It’s okay. I’ll just try.”

I said a little more emphatically.

“… Heh. Yes. Listen carefully. Don’t be hurt by saying no.”

Oh, it’s like that because I’m afraid I’ll get hurt.

I don’t have to.

Squeak-

After a while, Rebecca’s magical energy began to surround the inside of the training ground.

It’s a familiar rune’s barrier.

I observed the sphere of magical power that spread slowly, but it was nothing different from my magic circle.

“The Rune Clan must completely dominate the Rune Barrier.”

Rebecca muttered quietly.

She is completely different from the atmosphere she has shown so far.

Pounding-

At the same time, the air around me became heavy.

A tremendous weight weighed down on my shoulders, and my sense of battle began to activate.

“Activate the rune’s barrier.”

“…”

I furrowed my brow and endured the pressure to create a barrier of runes.

I activated it while wrapping my body to prevent the heavy pressure from pressing me down.

– Gripping weave

However, my barrier immediately collapsed as soon as it was implemented.

It was because she couldn’t withstand the pressure sent from Rebecca’s rune’s barrier.

“The barrier of runes is not like that.”

Rebecca approached me, smiled slightly and broke the barrier of her own runes.

The rune’s barrier, which was slowly losing its shape, stopped at some point.

“Wow….”

The magic was being activated, but it was in a state where it was not activated at the same time.

“No, how is this possible?”

Until now, I had never heard or seen anything like that.

If you show it to Imsol, he will probably fall back in surprise.

“The Rune clan learns only one magic in their lifetime. That’s why the space within the barrier becomes Rune’s.”

Rebecca held out one of her hands, and I could see the magic flowing out of her hand and connecting it to the barrier.

“This… It’s not something we’ve been maintaining all along.

“That’s right. My magic is already structured like a barrier of runes. … But I haven’t visualized it yet. How did you see it?”

“Is that possible?”

Rebecca raised her question, but I widened my eyes in surprise.

How on earth is it possible that magic and humans have the same magical structure?

“Because that’s the rune clan. Well, that’s why I didn’t want to show it. I thought it would only weaken your morale.”

Actually, I didn’t lose my enthusiasm.

Rather, it rises when it rises.

Because there is a concept of magic that I didn’t know about.

“Yeah, but it’s okay.”

Rebecca began to say something that might have misunderstood my eager eyes.

I listened to Rebecca’s words and observed the barrier of the rune that Rebecca implemented.

A fusion of mana and man.

‘Can I do that too?’

No. Absolutely not.

That is a phenomenon that can only be achieved after a long period of time while the body is still developing.

I’m already late. Even if it was possible, I would need other magic as well as the rune’s barrier.

Then you have to find another way….

“Because you have enough talent… As long as you give birth to a child with talent, I will nurture it from an early age…”

“Ah.”

Rebecca is saying something, but I didn’t hear it.

Because something started to happen in my head.

When I learned of a new concept that I didn’t know about, [Magic Induction], As soon as I understood it, my talent forcibly evolved my body.

This was an awakening.

Just like when you first felt mana.

Just like the first time you used combat sense.

Just like when creating a new skill.

Like when he woke up during sex with Liliana.

Perhaps more than that, some evolution was taking place.

Like Rebecca, she couldn’t change her body’s magic circuit at all.

Because her body is only for the rune’s barrier.

As for Rebecca, the nature of her magical power itself has changed just like the barrier of the rune.

That’s why whenever she sets up a rune’s barrier, it connects with her own body.

Unlike direct control, it is stronger because it becomes one body with the barrier.

It is a phenomenon different from ordinary magic.

You can’t follow it, and you shouldn’t follow it.

However.

This body can

‘If it doesn’t connect, I just need to hold onto it.’

If not, forcefully. I added my method to it.

“…The barrier of runes.”

I opened the rune’s barrier again.

The magical threads from my body drew a magic circle in an instant, and were combined in the final core technique.

You can’t hold on to the whole thing, so you just need to hold on to the core spells.

In this state, the core technique is changed.

‘With the same magical properties as my body.’

Then like this….

Hard-

A spherical barrier of runes was created around my body, and at the same time, the pressure disappeared.

I created my territory within Rebecca’s barrier.

“Haa… I think it’s done? How is it, Rebecca?”

I looked at Rebecca with a proud smile.

This sense of increasing magic skills.

Because I feel good whenever I feel it.

Rebecca watched me with her mouth open, then quietly opened her mouth.

“…My baby daddy has really good genes.”

An article about Shin Dong-min, the eldest son of the Shin-Young Guild, contacting Mine.

At first, the public, who were burning like fire, left one by one in search of something else to chew on.

Even in the article that Shin Dong-min was missing, he was only interested in the beginning, but gradually became quiet.

In this way, the public’s interest in Shinyoung’s guild gradually decreased, and even though the time to return quietly came, Shin Dongmin did not return to his home.

If he went home anyway, the treatment he would get was obvious.

He will be locked up in a mansion somewhere and will be watched for the rest of his life, never to come out.

Because he himself is a Mine.

‘Don’t kill it, leave it under your control.’

Even if his son is a Mine, he does not abandon him.

His own father is such a person.

Maybe he hired some hunters to track me down.

To live like that… It would be better to give back what you suffered.

He himself is the cause of this.

They are Lee Ho-yeon and Moon Su-rin.

Kulleong-

Blood vessels protruding all over the body.

A ferocious face and horns whose original appearance is faint.

Shin Dong-min, who became a complete demon, ran out of the house and contacted Pandemic.

He was able to hire Pandemic’s minions because he had brought a lot of slush funds with him when he came out of the house.

“… What about the operation?”

“Yes. We have already left for Lee Ho-yeon and Moon Su-rin’s dormitory.”

Tadadak-

On the monitor in front of Shin Dong-min’s eyes, two men wearing familiar skull masks were heading somewhere.

“… You got it right, right?”

“Yes. These are the S-class mines who applied directly.”

“I heard that there are a lot of crazy people among S-class demons. They’re the ones I bought with expensive money, so I have to deal with them properly.”

“That’s right… But it should be fine to get things done.”

“… Okay.”

This is the last one.

All the money he brought from just saving two S-class mines has been spent, and he has nowhere to return to.

“…”

Shin Dong-min got up from his seat while watching Mine disappeared on the monitor.
