Chapter 137

Two people from the medical center.

Gu Hwang-seok looked around and asked Min-joon a question without hesitation.

“Did you know?”

“Which one?”

“I thought you would notice? Are you deliberately pretending not to know?”

“… … .”

Gu Hwang-seok was already confident. The effect of the ‘special magic stone’ currently embedded in his body… .

I thought that Min-jun knew that there was a deadline.

Min-jun could also roughly read Gu Hwang-seok’s thoughts.

‘Are you floating on purpose?’

It was as if he knew Gu Hwang-seok’s heart. As much as he was called the ‘Master of Magic’… .

Right now, he must be getting the feeling that he has returned to his heyday, but Minjun couldn’t be unaware that that feeling was gradually diminishing.

“So what is the story you want to tell?”

“Can I get another special magic stone?”

“Well… .”

It was a predictable question.

It was obvious that Gu Hwang-seok would yearn for the ‘special magic stone’ more than anyone else.

However, it is difficult to obtain ‘special magic stones’ right now.

Like last summer, I couldn’t go to Jeju Island again… .

In the case of the ‘lowly tower’ that collected special magic stones.

Once a ‘special magic stone’ is dropped, it is very unlikely that it will drop again.

However, Min-jun decided that he had no obligation to tell Gu Hwang-seok this fact.

That’s not to say there’s no way, of course.

Maybe I wanted to use this opportunity to coax him out.

“It can be saved. Even here.”

“… What, what? Is that true?”

“There is no reason for me to lie to Master.”

This is Canberra.

It was a big mistake to think that there would be only demons everywhere.

Rather, here in Canberra is much more advantageous than in Korea when it comes to collecting magic stones.

It’s just not known yet.

In the process of recovering the devastated Canberra, there were frequent cases of acquiring magic stones.

It was also indicated in the original work that the probability of dropping special magic stones was high.

On the other hand, Gu Hwang-seok has a sense of anticipation at Min-joon’s words.

His eyes were completely different from before.

“But how can you be so sure?”

Even though he was full of expectations, he tried hard to show his composure.

It was because I felt that if my impatience was revealed to the other person, I would only end up laughing.

‘How can you be sure?’

This is true even if we look only at the data that is practically widely known.

In each country, when a specific item or magic stone is dropped.

Data is collected and submitted to the World Hunter Association, and even trade is conducted between countries that have entered into various agreements.

From these data, it appears that Australia has a significant amount of magic stones distributed in each dungeon, and after the Canberra Rift Crisis.

become more widely known.

Of course, this place is focused on resolving the situation, so it is true that the information on magic stone drops is still insufficiently updated.

While clearing up the rift situation, there was a good chance of obtaining a special magic stone as well.

“I think you’ll feel it if you practice with me.”

“Hey, you know I didn’t call you to play on words, right?”

“Does this sound like a joke?”

“… Do you really want to practice with me?”

“yes. I think I can practice only when the master is there.”

At Min-jun’s meaningful words, Gu Hwang-seok was strangely fascinated.

“Hmm, shall we talk more closely?”

Their story went on longer than expected.

***

Trainees returned to their temporary shelter.

Richard Park started looking for Min-joon.

“What did you talk about with the Ark Guild Master?”

Minjun, who is busy being called here and there today, responded to his question.

“You said you wanted to practice together?”

“What? Are you trying to play with me now?”

“Master-nim said so too. I’m just telling the story that I really thought of.”

“So what do you say?”

“I cannot tell you that.”

The story that I only shared with Master Gu Hwang-seok.

There was no need to give Richard Park details without reason.

No matter what.

There are other things to prioritize now.

That is, the core area of Magi.

As time passes, the whole of Canberra can be covered more and more with magi.

Park Anna’s small sacrifice cannot be ignored.

It was necessary to search the area northeast of Canberra.

“We need to advance the time a little before that.”

“… Do you still have regrets?”

“It’s not regret, it’s the point.”

“That doesn’t mean that we, who came only in the name of practice, will be able to step out.”

“Aren’t we the only ones who think so?”

“What do you mean?”

“That another person is thinking the same thing as me.”

“… no way?”

Richard Park couldn’t have hoped.

‘It can’t be.’

The words of Min-jun, who is only a first-year intern!

There was no way he could have persuaded the Arch Guild Master, who is praised as the best guild in Korea.

Although it was Richard Park who denied and tried to deny it.

There was no lie in Minjun’s eyes.

“If the person I was thinking of is really correct. A truly rare combination would form.”

“Perhaps?”

“You are truly a trainee, the more I look at you, the more I don’t know. It’s a completely different feeling from the trainees I’ve been teaching.”

On the one hand, Richard Park was curious about Min-jun’s limitations.

Even before he came here, he thought he would never be ordinary.

Gradually, I felt that Minjun’s potential would burst beyond expectations.

‘It’s the first time I’ve ever experienced a trainee like this.’

Furthermore.

The way he dealt with monsters from the first day of practice left a big impression on Richard.

Before even adjusting to jet lag.

His talent, which showed a strong impact in many ways, could not be easily forgotten.

Meanwhile, Minjun, who returned to his place of residence, took a break right away.

Although the practice schedule was pushed back due to Anna Park’s unexpected behavior from the morning.

In terms of results, it was not a bad day.

‘I never thought Gu Hwang-seok would come on his own.’

When I met Gu Hwang-seok.

It was true that he himself was surprised. So, rather than revealing it… .

In front of Gu Hwang-seok, who seemed to have an ultimate reason and purpose, Min-jun was cool-headed.

that he

How impatient would he have been to find himself in this troubled place?

Due to this opportunity, I thought maybe I could build a stronger relationship with him.

next day.

The crack situation in Canberra, which had no time to be rectified.

Gu Hwang-seok spoke out his thoughts in front of several officials.

“Now that the situation has gotten even more dire. I guess I have no choice but to try an adventure.”

“Adventure? What do you mean?”

All Canberra Emergency Response Committee officials paid attention to Gu Hwang-seok.

As much as I have faith in him.

I thought Gu Hwang-seok would have a good trick.

However, what he said was absurd.

“Northeast of Canberra. Resolving the situation from there seems to be the top priority.”

Northeast of Canberra!

According to the data, the frequency of monsters was the lowest, so the refugees were the most distributed.

At the words of Gu Hwang-seok, who said that he would start working from there.

Officials had no choice but to say the opposite.

“In fact, the northeast is the least damaged, and even has the most refugees. On the contrary, you will be wasting your time with nothing to do.”

“That’s right, right now it’s the northeast in a situation where it’s too soon to deal with the northwest and southeast! That’s not something to worry about right now.”

“Even if you get it wrong, it’s a place where you got it wrong for a long time.”

In response to Gu Hwang-seok’s words, people around him exchanged 10 or 100 words.

Even if he is the master of the Ark Guild.

It seemed difficult to understand his words in an instant.

But Gu Hwang-seok did not give in.

Rather, he thought that he would show such a reaction, and he had to force it even to take advantage of himself.

“If everyone says so, I will move alone.”

“Why out of many places! Are you going there?”

“You’re not afraid, are you?”

“Didn’t you come to save this place? Why are you avoiding it?”

Avoid… . It’s a story that can’t be done.

Rather, there was no way they knew that he was going to regain his old self.

‘I didn’t even know I was going because of the small possibility. I didn’t expect it to change my mind in the first place. I never thought I would oppose it to this extent.’

Even Chief Lim tried to stop such a thing.

“No, Master! I don’t know anything else, but this really isn’t it! Northeast while the days are running out? Are you talking nonsense?”

Even he, whom he believed to be a loyalist, raised his voice like this, and Gu Hwang-seok was also in a difficult situation.

“Can’t you see it as a change of mind? Chief Lim?”

“Why are you here? Not anywhere else, right here in Canberra?”

However, it would be difficult to tell Lim his true intentions.

As for the existence of special magic crystals, Chief Chama Im couldn’t say enough.

‘Of course I can’t be 100% sure. It’s just a word from that friend.’

However, those who are really desperate and want something… .

Even with those little sweet words, I tend to hold out hope that they may soon turn out to be the truth.

Gu Hwang-seok also did not want to lose this hope.

no matter what the outcome is.

He wanted to catch a clue that he would be able to acquire his own special magic stone in the northeast this time.

That said, the situation in Canberra was by no means postponed.

Magi’s core area!

As Minjun said, if the core area exists in the northeast… .

This was also because Gu Hwang-seok had to step out.

However, the moment his words become negative in front of everyone.

It was also an established fact that this was also a considerable part to bear.

Of course, because of Gu Hwang-seok’s personality, who was thorough in the first place.

It wasn’t blindly believing Minjun’s words and trying to put them into action.

The reason why he was actually trying to head northeast.

It was because it reminded me of the situation here five years ago.
