The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

Gongju Police Station's Women's Youth Division received a report last night that her daughter, who was attending high school, did not return to her home even after the night's self-study was over.

Detectives who realized that they were female adolescents and diligent students who did not deviate from anything other than their usual studies, immediately applied for location tracking.

However, the location that came out by triangulation was in a large apartment complex, and the search range was

It was too wide and difficult to find.

Ultimately, it was only in the afternoon of the next day that he received a call that he had returned home and the urgent search ended.

“Oh, I remember this student.”

The aunt who makes the kimbap house, she said, witnessed the incident firsthand.

“Looking at the picture, it is this student. Yesterday, it was a bit strange to see a high school student wearing a school uniform walking with an old man arm in arm. Not like an uncle or father, but like a lover

Arthur.”

Thanks to the woman who witnessed the two of them while rolling up kimbap at the window, the investigation moved quickly.

Although it was an area without CCTV, the search continued based on the nearby merchants on the path from the apartment that came out last night's location tracking to the high school.

“No, I look like a 30-year-old, but they kissed me on the street?”

“When I saw you wearing a school uniform and doing that confidently, I tried to say something, but I put up with it.”

Surprisingly, many people witnessed it.

It stood out because it was a combination of an older, fat man and a schoolgirl in uniform.

"Seniors. I just went to the gynecologist.”

"result?"

“The hymen ruptured and semen was found in the body. The suspect's blood type is said to be type B."

Detective Park, who received the report, glanced at his investigation notebook and turned his head to tell his junior.

“What is the reaction of Miyeon Lee?”

“She is in a state of great shock. Oh

You were sobbing and your father was screaming, and there was no such riot.”

"What do you think?"

“What do you mean?”

“Is it true that I can’t remember?”

“Yeah, looking at his shocked expression, it didn’t look like smoke.”

"okay? If so, I think this case will be out of our hands.”

“What do you mean, sir?”

As juvenile-related crimes are handled by the Gender Equality and Youth Division, Detective Choi said that this case will be transferred to another place.

did not understand

“I will tell you my thoughts. listen carefully. At first, I was skeptical about the aid relationship, but because he came from a wealthy family, he received a lot of pocket money and was a good student.”

“Yes, it is.”

“Then I was thinking about whether I was deviating because I was under a lot of stress while studying, but with a very obese man who seems to be in his early 40s? I don't think that's it."

“But, haven’t there been a lot of people who have seen the two of them dating on the street?”

“My daughter is an elementary school student, and now I only see singers on TV every day, so my eyes get higher and higher, and they say that boys my age don’t look like men.”

“I know what you’re talking about, but you might fall in love with something… .”

"Incident? what happened?”

“Well, it’s like saving a life from an accident or something.”

“If you were in high school, would you love me because Dobiman, a 40-year-old high school girl, saved your life?”

At Detective Park's words, Detective Choi scratched the back of his head.

“I think it’s a bit like that. So, what is your conclusion?”

“I think it’s kind of like a magical crime.”

"Yes? That doesn't seem to be the case. There is no such thing as a magic that makes you fall in love or a magic that erases a person’s memory.”

“Yeah, no. But something that didn't exist yesterday can happen today, it's magic."

“Ah, but… .”“Look at the news. Does the magic presented by the SW Company established by the wizard Jong-Wang Kim, a graduate of the Gongju University Research Institute, make sense? I heard that every magic revealed is inlaid with a Nobel inlay?”

When Kim Jong-wang's story came out, Detective Choi kept his mouth shut.

This is because he was one of those people who thought that the magic he made was a rare scam to attract investment until the final judgment was made by the Magic Bureau.

Kim Jong-wang's magic was real and his prejudices were broken.

“Hey, then, I’ll have to transfer this case to the Magic Bureau.”

“Okay, where is the nearest Magic Kingdom?”

“This is the Daejeon Magic Kingdom.”

“Then put a call there right now.”

"Yep!"

Choi Ji-tae, who was the communications department manager of the 3rd Department of the Daejeon Central Special Department, who had dealt with aristocrats with Soon-won in Gyeryongsan Mountain two years ago,

He was currently affiliated with the Department of Combat Strategy.

He retired from the field after playing raids as a magic warrior, and met Soon-won while working in the communication department.

“Chief Choi. A case has arrived.”

Choi Ji-tae, who received the report from the new female employee, looked through the documents and frowned.

“I don’t think this is the job of the strategy department, is it?”

The case of the rape of a high school girl was passed on to the strategy department dealing with the devil.

“That makes the case a bit special.”

“Are you special?”

“As you can see from reading the report, it appears that the girl has been subjected to magic.”

“Are you suspected of using magic that deceives people and erases memories? There is no such magic.”

“I came to know that while collecting several reports, similar incidents like this are happening nationwide.

It is happening in the gu. Besides, wealth

The arrest of a prime suspect in the mountains

There was... .”

“Were there?”

“The suspect, who showed signs of confessing to a detective who was holding the evidence in front of his eyes, vomited blood from his eyes, nose and mouth at the same time and died.”

“If someone is dead… .”

“Yes, I am a wizard. It is a characteristic that comes out when magicians who break taboos die.”

Choi Ji-tae looked at the female employee in front of him, who spoke clearly.

He was an intern who had only been working for a few months, and he knew a lot and turned his head quickly.

“Your name is Hana?”

“Yes, manager.”

“But even if this is real magic, it is the task of the Magic Crimes Investigation Division.”

“I brought them back to conclude that it wasn't a magic crime and bring the case back to the police.”

"what?"

Choi Ji-tae looked at this one with a puzzled expression.

“Are you telling me that Hana Lee, an intern, brought what the experts in the department concluded it was not?”

"Yes, it is."

"Why?"

“This is because senior wizard Kang Ah-reum, who works in the Busan Magic Bureau’s crime investigation team, said that this case was not just a magical crime, but that the devil was involved.”

“Senior wizard? It sounds like you are a wizard too.”

"I'm not a wizard yet, but I'm a 4th year student at Gongju University's Magic Department and plan to become a wizard next year."

"what? Why did the student wizard join the Magic Bureau's strategy team... .”

Many wizards are employed in the Magic Kingdom.

However, the strategy department can use magic

As it is a department with no work, the wizard

There was nothing coming in.

“No, it’s not like there isn’t anything at all. It’s not that it’s important, but you think the devil was involved in this case?”

“Yes, I heard that, according to Kang Ah-reum, a new kind of crime seems to be taking place in Germany because a nobleman distributed non-existent magical artifacts to wizards.”

“Did you tell the magic crime investigation team too?”

"no."

“Why?”

“The magic crime investigation team may not believe that it is a magical crime involving the devil, but as long as the devil is involved, the department in charge of this case is the strategy department.”

“Hmm… .”

After re-reading the report, Choi Ji-tae became deeply interested in this case.

“It might be worth investigating. Would you like to join us?”

"Yes!"

Choi Ji-tae and Lee Ha-na held hands.

“Where shall we go today?”

Lee Woo-hyuk, who made a lot of money by selling fake drugs today, closed the hospital door early and left.

As he was a private hospital, he was the best boss for the staff who worked there.

This is because the hospital often closes early and pays the original salary.

“Hmm… .”

He walked down the street to find a woman he liked, but she

She only saw her grandma or older aunt.

“Gongju Girls’ High School is too far away, shall we go there again?”

Woohyuk Lee headed to the high school again.

Instead, he decided to go around a nearby restaurant rather than waiting near the front door like last time.

“Because you’re hungry when you’re a student.”

In the distance, I saw a snack bar.

It was expected that some students would leave because they did not want to eat dinner in the cafeteria.

“Auntie, one serving of tteokbokki, one serving of sundae, and assorted tempura, please!”

“Jisoo, I’ll go to the bathroom.”

“Yeah, let’s go, Miju.”

When her friend Mi-joo went to the bathroom, Jisoo took out a small English vocabulary and started to memorize the short time.

“Wow!”

At that time, Lee Woo-hyuk, who came into the restaurant, naturally approached and sat down next to Ji-soo.

"uh? There are plenty of other places... .”

"I know."

Lee Woo-hyuk's ring touched Han Ji-soo's arm.

Then her gaze became hazy and she dropped the English vocabulary book in her hand.

“My name is Woohyuk Lee. you?"

“I’m Han Ji-soo.”

“How old are you?”

“I’m 17.”

“Are you in first grade?”

"Yes."

Lee Woo-hyuk reached out and ruffled her hair to make sure the magic had been applied.

An ordinary girl would be shocked by his appearance, but Jisoo only smiled at him.

“Uh-huh, that’s okay.”The food court lady in the kitchen was concentrating on cooking, so I couldn't see it.

“I was hungry right now, but I have to go eat here.”

Woohyuk Lee held up chopsticks and waited for the food to come out.

After two minutes had passed, Mi-joo, who had gone to the bathroom, finished her work and she entered the restaurant.

"uh?"

There were a lot of empty seats in the snack bar, but when I saw a fat man sitting right next to Jisoo, my body stiffened.

He approached cautiously, wondering if a strange person might have approached and flirted with him.

“Do you want to change your seat, Jisoo?”

“Miju, are you here? This is my boyfriend Woohyuk oppa.”

"what?"

Pointing to a fat man who seems to be in his 40s, Mi-joo looking at Jisoo who introduces him as her boyfriend

I thought it might be the camera.

“Are you kidding me? Chop!”

Lee Woo-hyuk was embarrassed to see Mi-joo suddenly appeared and pushed her ring.

However, Mi-joo, who was nervous, avoided Lee Woo-hyuk's reaching out and took a step backwards from her.

“What, what? old lady!"

Looking at Jisoo's blurry eyes and trembling body, I felt something strange.

"Why?"

It was Lee Woo-hyuk who was embarrassed when even the food court lady came out of the kitchen.

“Damn, Jisoo, let’s go!”

"Yes."

When Lee Woo-hyuk gestured, Jisoo stood up.

She was following her on her own, but Mi-joo realized that Jisoo was not in normal condition and grabbed him.

“Jisoo, you can’t go!”

“Something like this pumpkin! Isn't it off?"

He was desperate to stop his friend, but it was impossible to deal with the large Lee Woo-hyuk.

With one swipe of her hand, Mi-joo slumped to the floor and crashed into the wall.

"Oh, no!"

I got up right away, but Jisoo had already disappeared into the alley following the man.

Miju quickly got up from her seat and followed after him.

“Jisoo! Han Ji-soo!”

Perhaps because of the mournful cry, two people who were on their way to the restaurant came to hear the voice.

They were classmates.

“You look urgent, what’s going on?”

"Ah! Soon-won, it's Jihee! Index!”

Miju, who quickly explained the self-inflicted species.

Soon-won and Ji-hee looked at each other's faces.

“Hey Jihee. I’ll follow you, so you and Mi-joo go to the restaurant and call the police.”

Of course, Han Ji-hee, who knew that she would insist on going with her, nodded at Soon-won's words.

"okay. I will do that.”

“Me too!”

Rather, it was America who tried to catch up.

“Come with me. You don't know the man's impression clothes."

“No, Miju. Leave this to Soon-won. If we follow, we will only get in the way.”

While the two are talking,

Won ran to the alley.
