The Birth of the 9th Circle Wizard

“Soon-won! Jung Soon-won!”

Soon-won, who was walking down the hallway, looked at his uncle who rushed to him, calling out his name.

“You, where did you get this letter from?”

“Were you at the door?”

“Have you not seen any suspicious people?”

“Someone suspicious?”

“Did you not see anyone leaving this behind?”

“Did you not see it?”

"okay? uh... .”

It was natural for Kim Jong-wang to be so restless.

It was because of the contents of the letter Soon-won wrote.

'I'm sorry Uncle.'

The letter had a message to tell his uncle to choose.

I will give you a patent for hair loss treatment magic, so quit the research institute and set up a company, or if you don't like it, you should give up the hair loss treatment patent and return it to the state.

'This is a test. with people without distribution

We can’t work together.’

In addition to that, three magic blueprints were written.

The first is the wizard communication crystal ball.

The second is the 8th generation mana circuit.

The third method was to increase the magic crystal efficiency by 30%.

‘I need someone to come forward and make money for me.’

You can make a lot of money just by using an advanced mana circuit and magic stone more efficiently, but if you have a communication crystal, you don't need to use a brick phone using a base station like now.

This will allow you to chat with the wizards anytime, anywhere.

It didn't matter if it was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean without a base station or in a deep cave.

‘The only flaw is that only wizards can use it.’

It is great to be able to communicate without a base station or satellite, but to use the crystal ball, you basically had to know how to handle mana.

“Are you surprised by the sudden shouting? I'm sorry. Be careful.”

Jongwang Kim ran back to the lab.

It is because I wrote down that it will not be too late to ask questions and make a decision at that time, as I will call you directly when the communication crystal ball is completed.

‘Because of my uncle’s personality, I don’t sleep or eat, so I’ll make a communication crystal ball.’

Soon-won pulled his tongue out of the lab.

20() It was March 1, and the entrance ceremony for the high school was held.

Hyunseong and Seongsu go to Gongju High School

Unfortunately, as I went to college, I broke up with the two of them.

‘In high school, let’s just study like a mouse is dead.’

You don't become a genius just by increasing your memorization and expanding your intelligence with magic.

Ordinary people expected that when this magic first appeared, they would fully understand and memorize it once they saw it, but that was not the case.

‘It’s about as much as you have to watch 10 times to memorize it.’

Even this alone was close to a foul, but that

It was not an all-around magic that did not have to study.

'Even if you get three questions wrong in the SAT, you can't break through Seoul University's Magic.'

In 2004, I couldn't get into Seoul National University's College of Magic by just taking the CSAT.

Students were selected based solely on the on-time grades.

“Soon-won student?”

"Yes."

“I’ve been looking for it for a while. What if the senior entrant is here? Follow me.”

Standing around the words of a school official

Dunn students looked at Soon-won's face with a surprised expression.

“Are you a senior entrant?”“Isn’t it a gyeongmun?”

"Nope. Kyungmoon is already out.”

Since I entered as the top student, I had to read the admissions declaration as a student representative.

The problem was that there was a co-leader, so I had to read it half and half.

‘Did you say that you came in with the same grades as me?’

It's from the second year of middle school, but I didn't get a single question wrong on the exam.

Of course, I expected that he would be the sole chief

However, wherever he went, there was a real genius.

“You are the rumored Jung Soon-won. nice to meet. My name is Kyungmoon Kang.”

A male student standing next to the principal approached and shook hands.

He had white skin and snake-like eyes, which gave him a little goosebumps, but he smiled because he shouldn't judge a person by his looks.

"nice to meet. Let's have a good time.”

“Yeah, you should be fine.”

Only one corner of Kang Kyung-moon's lips curled up.

Soon-won felt frustrated seeing him like that.

‘If I had just gone to Yeongmyeong High School, school life would have been easier because I remembered all the teachers and students.’

I went to a different high school than before, so I had no information about the school and students.

‘Well, I’m just going to study and live anyway.’

However, unlike the previous school, only the top students in middle school came to the school, so the academic atmosphere would be completely different.

“It was taken by Kyung-Moon Jae.”

“School is over. Would it be better to drop out and take the GED?”

"right. In middle school, Kyung-moon was admitted to the hospital, where he studied better.”

"Shh! Be quiet! Listen to the scriptures.”

Soon-won, reading his admissions declaration, did not hear the small conversations of the gossiping students on the playground.

2001 is an eventful year.

It was also the time when the IMF financial crisis that began on November 21, 1997 ended, the 7th education course began, and it was the year of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

“Ah, can you hear me?”

“Yes, it sounds good.”

In the end, in less than a month, Kim Jong-wang made a communication crystal ball based on the blueprint.

It was not a normal speed.

Considering that he must have been immersed in the production without washing like a bad man again, Soon-won thought that he was sad rather than great.

‘Even if my uncle doesn’t die in this life, I won’t be dating.’

Soon-won will not die because Soon-won knows the cure for the mana cold that will appear two years later.

However, I wondered who would marry a skinny man because he didn't wash his face like that and didn't eat well.

"uh? weird. Did you not make the crystal ball well?”

“Why?”

“If it is according to the design, you should be able to see it, but I can’t see anything.”

“Oh, that’s because I set this side to be invisible.”

"Oh, I see."

Kim Jong-wang, who was already aware of Soon-won's reluctance to reveal himself, did not tenaciously delve into the matter.

“My name is Jung Ha-neul. You must have a lot of questions, so please ask.”

Of course, the voice was being heard by his uncle as a middle-aged man through magic.

“I wonder what to ask

Too many!”

“You have a lot of time, so you can think slowly and ask questions.”

The uncle beyond the telecommunication crystal ball was brooding in thought.

“Why are you folding?”

It was the first question he asked after he came to his senses after being immersed in thought for about 10 seconds.

“Are you asking why I chose Professor Jong-Kwang Kim?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Of course you would be curious.

Among the many and many wizards, why do you

Whether or not they show up and fix the blueprints and persuade them to set up the company.

"that… .”

I stopped looking around for a while.

Soon-won would have chosen Kim Jong-wang if he had known him even if he wasn't in his family.

“It’s because Professor Jong-Wang Kim genuinely loves magic.”

“What do you mean?”

“There are many reasons why wizards learn magic. to get rich to get fame. It's a stable job. The reasons vary, but the professor

Love it. He liked magic, so he became a wizard. Am I wrong?”

Kim Jong-Wang did not answer.

Soon-won could see his uncle's confused face over the crystal ball.

“Isn't it fun to do magic? It’s about being frantically curious about what kind of magic will appear in the future and watching the society that develops through that magic.”

“… Yes, that is why I became a wizard.”

Why did Kim Jong-wang become a wizard?

It was said by his uncle, who was drunk, when the family gathered at his mother's house on Chuseok.

Soon-won was telling him what he wanted to hear.

“As you know, no matter how genius you are, you cannot build a spaceship or a nuclear warhead on your own. I don't need a colleague. So is magic. I need your help.”

“Who are you?”

“It’s Jung Sky.”

“Blood that cannot appear in front of me in person

Do you have any reason not to?”

"sorry. There are no bad intentions. I need time.”

I spoke as politely as possible.

He was hiding his appearance, but it was difficult to appear as a suspicious person with a different plan.

“Communication crystal ball, this is a real thing. If this spreads to the market, it will be possible to quickly convey information to battle wizards fighting in the remote areas.”

“I will.”

“In addition to the 8th generation mana circuit, there is a way to increase the efficiency of magic crystals by 30%.

I mean. Did all this come out of your head?”

"Yes."

“You must be one of them. A liar or a rare genius that surpasses John von Neumann.”

“It’s crazy to surpass John von Neumann.”

John von Neumann.

He is the greatest genius in human history.

He was a mathematician and physicist, and a computer engineer and wizard.

He left many achievements during his lifetime, the best of which was the assertion Ko'mana (Ma

na)' is the discovery.

The mana he discovered by grafting quantum mechanics to the operator theory was discovered while he was hospitalized with bone marrow cancer in his later years while lying on a bed in a hospital room.

Mana has existed since the universe was born, but was discovered in 1957 by the great primordial wizard John von Neumann.

“Is it true that Ha-neul Jung wants me to establish a company and sell magic that I registered a patent for?”

"Yes, that's right."

“How much you can earn after deducting the minimum cost necessary to run the company the way you want.

It is not difficult to give all of your mouth.”

“Professor, I’ll take care of you so you don’t get upset.”

“That’s not it. All the honor will go to me, will it be all right?”

"of course. For that reason, I am contacting you in such a troublesome way.”

"all right. I will accept the deal.”

His uncle eventually decided to quit the lab and set up a company.

Soon-won decided to fully support him.

“There is a list I sent to the professor via email. This is a list of accountants, lawyers, solicitors, secretaries, key executives and employees who will help you set up the company. If you tell them to hire you at three times your current salary, as written there, most of them will fall for it.”

The name of King Kim Jong-wang, who was already famous, would add to that.“Heh heh, you’ve already made the preparations this far.”

“Ah, there is a company site and a rough sketch of the building, so write it down.

You will have to contact the building’s contact number.”

“Hey, I would have been upset if I said I didn’t.”

“Is it possible? I trusted you.”

After checking the email, Jong-Wang Kim burst out laughing.

“You must be busier than working in a lab.”

“Is it possible? You could still go home at least once a week.”

“Uh-huh! It was a waste to pay the monthly rent, but I am glad.”

Jongwang Kim chuckled.

The two of them were friendly for a few more minutes

Communication was cut off while we were talking.

♦ * *

School life was so boring that every day was the same.

She gets up, goes to school, has morning classes, eats lunch, has afternoon classes, has dinner, and does self-study at night until 10 pm, then goes home and studies until dawn before sleeping.

The same goes for the next day.

It was the same week and it was the same month.

The flow was broken in May.

“Are you missing palms today?”

"Yeah, I'm feeling a little nauseous."

“Okay, senior admission Soon-won, so they don’t accept my medical certificate. Go home and rest.”

Soon-won exited the classroom and looked at his watch.

The reason I missed the palm today wasn't because I wasn't really feeling well.

‘A nobleman will appear in Seoul tonight.’

Where the portal is in the public eye

If they do appear, you will be prepared in advance, but rarely, if you are in an underground waterway or deep in the mountains, you will encounter demons and nobles unprotected.

‘Nobility doesn’t matter.’

Soon-won, who teleported to Seoul, covered his entire body except for his eyes with black clothes and a bandana.

Standing precariously on top of Namsan Tower, he looked down at the beautiful night view of Seoul.

‘The problem is that the knight in the white coat dies today.’

Ma who received the blessing of mana in 2030

Beopja did not exist in Korea, but they did exist.

It was ‘Han Ji-hee,’ a knight in a white coat who died in 2001.

‘When nobles appeared in Seoul, they appeared with a white robe covering their body and fought, hence the name. A knight in a white coat.’

A person blessed with mana by overwhelming the nobility with great magical powers appeared in Korea, and the media made a special mention, but today he fights with the noble and dies.

‘If she had lived to 2030, she wouldn’t have suffered so easily in her battle with the Queen of Flames.’

she had to live

A 17-year-old girl fights a nobleman and wins, but is cursed by her and dies.

Her identity was revealed only after she died, and it was a girl named Han Ji-hee, a freshman at Seoul Girls' High School who had her parents murdered by a noble at a young age.

“There!”

I felt an abnormal flow of mana.

It was so weak that she couldn't be caught on her radar, but Han Ji-hee, who was blessed with mana, would have noticed.

"Han Ji-hee's body was found in Namsan Mountain.

I thought you were going to show up here, but it was from Bukhansan!’

The straight-line distance from Namsan to Bukhansan is 10km. There was no fixed point near Bukhansan to teleport.

It would take too long to get to Blink.

Soon-won flew into the sky.

‘You must arrive before the fight is over. If Han Ji-hee hides her magic, there is no way to find it.’

Tears flowed from his eyes as he flew quickly through the sky without goggles, but he had to worry about that.

there was no

She had to arrive even a second early.
