Episode 222
“Now, everyone. I’ll explain today’s schedule. ”
Incheon Immigration Gate.
In front of 15 people participating in the Holy Dance Festival, Lee Hee-young, dressed up today, explained in a soft voice.
“First of all, those of you who participate in the Seongwu Festival will move to Wizen before other students for the local enemy.”
The students
listened quietly to Lee Hee-young’s words.
“After arriving in Wiesen, a tour of the laboratory will be held. After that, a brief opening ceremony is held. It’s not grandiose, so you don’t have to be nervous or nervous. And… at 9:00 in the evening, a social gathering will be held where key figures from schools and Wizen will gather.”
“A social gathering?”
At the word social gathering, some sociable students twinkled their eyes.
This was especially true of Youngjun Shin, who had an exceptional sociability.
As if anticipating the attention that would be drawn to him, Lee Seo-joon showed a slightly uncomfortable expression, and Yoo-ara showed an expression of dislike for her already.
Eun Seol-ah made a mysterious expression, half worried and half excited.
“The purpose of your holy duty festival is a friendly event for exchanges between schools in each country.”
At that, I laughed a little inwardly.
…what a friendly event.
The outside is very shiny.
Everyone knows that it has changed for the purpose of intensifying
competition and conflict between countries rather than friendship .
“The full-fledged test of the Holy Office begins the next day. ruler! Then, since the explanation is over, let’s move on to the portal gate!”
So we set foot at the gate.
Flash!
When I arrived at the place, the faint smell of the sea wafted up.
There were European-style buildings around it, which are hard to find in Korea.
As soon as I walked out, the Mediterranean Sea, a sea surrounded by three continents,
came into view.
“Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Italy.”
“It’s my first time here.”
Joyful voices were heard all around.
Even in this world where transportation is convenient through gates, visiting overseas is always an exciting experience.
“Everyone, Weizen doesn’t have a gate to prevent terrorism, so you have to move by boat from now on.”
“I don’t like to ride a boat.”
“me too.”
A voice of dissatisfaction was heard from somewhere at the words of riding a boat.
For those of us accustomed to the convenient transportation facility called the gate, we couldn’t help but feel that it was a bit cumbersome to move by boat.
Lee Hee-young led us to the place where the huge ship was and shouted vigorously.
“Come on, everyone. Get on board!”
Woo woo woo
A huge ship moves forward through the blue sea.
I was gazing at the horizon of the distant sea while patting the back of Choi Seo-yoon, who was suffering from seasickness, while leaning over the railing on the deck.
As I put magic into my eyes, a small island came into sight.
Huge buildings on the island.
As befits the setting of a research city, the feeling of a city was exuded.
However, the appearance was slightly different from the general city buildings.
Should I say it feels like a ‘secret laboratory’ hiding all kinds of rice cakes in the movie?
“Are you alright?”
Bend down, she turned her gaze to the suffering Choi Seo-yoon.
Even when I went to the island of fog, I suffered from motion sickness all day, and today was no different from then.
“…yes. It’s okay… No, I…Don’t look… Eup…
Seoyoon Choi grabbed my collar tightly.
I patted Choi Seo-yoon on the back without a word again and turned my gaze back to the seascape.
Even if I didn’t tell you not to watch it, I wouldn’t bother watching it.
Because I want to see only good things.
“You’re having a hard time~”
Then Lee Seo-joon suddenly appeared next to me. I glanced at Seoyoon Choi again and replied with a smile.
“Now you’re the enemy. It’s not even the first time.”
At my answer, Lee Seo-joon laughed after me and walked over to the railing
.
“How do you feel?”
“How are you feeling?”
“You ended up participating in the Holy War Festival that you wanted to go to. I worked hard enough to rise from 150th place to 5th place in a year.”
Hearing that, I felt something strange.
5th in 1 year from 150th.
What the hell did I do last year?
“well. It’s a mood…
To be honest, I have nothing but worries.
We already know what will happen in the Holy War Festival through the original work.
Of course, as much as the world has changed because of my intervention, I don’t know if the event I expected will happen exactly as it is.
However, as always, I hope that a more serious situation than the original will not happen.
“I just have no idea.”
“……okay?”
Lee Seo-joon nodded his head after thinking for a moment, wondering if my answer was strange.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….
Time passed and the ship arrived at its destination.
“Arrived. Let’s get off.”
After handing over toilet paper and water to Seoyoon Choi, he got off the boat.
As soon as I got off, people playing on the shore and numerous buildings caught my eye. And
I saw a huge wall
around the outskirts of the city .
The first time I saw it, the feeling was similar to Hawaii.
WiGen serves as a research institute, but also serves as a tourist destination limited to invited guests.
“Wow…
Seoyoon Choi was enjoying the scenery around her with her usual energy restored.
“Oh right. I was able to live thanks to you. But… you didn’t see that motion sickness, did you?”
“I didn’t see it because it was dirty, so you don’t have to worry
.”
Seoyoon Choi was at a loss for words, so she kept her mouth shut.
“So, take some motion sickness medicine.”
“The last time I boarded Atlantis, it was fine, so I thought it would be fine this time too…
Seoyoon Choi muttered in a melancholy voice.
“That’s because there is a mystery of restoration in Atlantis.”
“Ah, so I was fine then
.”
Seoyoon Choi nodded as if she had realized.
“Nice to meet you. Korean Wizards Academy students.”
Just then, a black-haired white man appeared in front of us speaking fluent Korean.
The black outfit and sunglasses reminded me of a special agent in a movie.
“My
name is James, the head of the WeGen security team and a member of the research team, who will lead you, the treasures of Korea.”
“uh? James?”
Some students reacted in surprise to James’ introduction.
It was a relatively confusing name, but the name and the title of Wizen’s security team leader made it possible to know who he was.
James of the A-rank wizard Magican.
In this world, he was an auxiliary magician who used a gun as his main weapon.
Although he is ranked A, he is famous for not being inferior to S-rank wizards in terms of combat ability.
In the first place, the ‘wizard grade’ designated by the association is not simply determined by magic skills alone.
achievements and the evaluation of those around them.
Also, because magic skills are comprehensively evaluated, combat ability should not be evaluated simply by the high or low of the grade.
“Okay then, let’s move right away.”
That’s how we moved to the huge barrier surrounding the lab.
“Nice to meet you. For security, I will check your ticket.”
We held out the tickets we had received this morning.
The employee scanned the invitation using a magic tool. Then, the complex magic hidden in the admission ticket radiated light.
“I checked my ticket. Finally, I will confirm my identity.”
An employee infused magic into a crude rectangular magic tool hanging on the wall.
At the same time, light emitted from the tip of the magic tool and radiated to my face.
The name of that magic tool is ‘Bast Face Detector’.
As the name suggests, there are only 5 of them in the world, and it was a mystery to detect bast face balls.
“Yes, your identity has been verified. You can enter.”
After completing all the identity verification, we were able to go inside.
“Uh oh…
The inside of Wizen was different from what we saw from the outside.
Various people, including wizard researchers and ordinary tourists, were enjoying normal lives.
James looked at us in amazement and said.
“Okay then, let’s go to the hotel first.”
After unpacking everything at the hotel, we had a busy schedule as soon as we came out.
It was because there was a lot of work to do, from visiting the stadium where the examinations of the Holy Office Festival were held to rehearsing for the opening ceremony.
“Ah, I’m tired…
Gradually, dissatisfaction began to emerge among the students.
Understanding public sentiment, James gave us a break.
It was a time when I was enjoying a break while touring the outdoor research facilities.
“uh? Isn’t that the Russian team over there?”
Shin Yeongjun pointed somewhere with his finger.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes turned to it.
I spotted a small group
moving with haughty steps .
Among them, there was a female student with brown hair who stood out.
Daria Taran.
Actually Bonnie Force was no joke.
Contrary to Lily-Rose, who is full of energy, I feel calm at times.
Daria’s green eyes turned to me, as if she felt my gaze at that time.
And soon, I felt a strong will and a strange life in his eyes toward me.
“….”what.”
Apparently, everyone knows me.
Well, I wonder if there are people who don’t know me among the people who participate in the Seongmu Festival.
His feelings toward me were unusual.
It’s scary for nothing.
Maybe she’s pointing me out as a hindrance to her goals.
Daria looked at my eyes for about 3 seconds, then quickly turned her head and disappeared somewhere.
Maybe we’ll see her again tonight at a social gathering.
I’ll have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t do anything unexpected.
Because she will be the most dangerous person in this episode of the Holy Duty Festival.
As the Russian team disappeared, whispering voices were heard again.
“Wow… Daria’s real life is no joke. right? I was completely overwhelmed.”
“But you look really cold. What’s wrong with you?”
“I guess my personality is like that. Lily
Rose, she has an eccentric personality too.”
After that story flowed, Lee Seo-joon found something and muttered in a quiet voice.
“…what is that?”
I turned my head to follow Lee Seo-joon’s gaze.
At the end of the line of sight was a huge circular orb the size of a five-story building floating in the air.
The shape of the beads was also unusual, but strong magical energy was overflowing around the beads.
And a strong magic shield
covered the orb.
As soon as I saw it, I knew what kind of facility it was. Because that machine was also dealt with in the original work.
“Oh, that is the [Devil of Observation], which can be said to be the best result in Wizen’s 50-year history.”
said James proudly.
“…a demon of observation?”
“Simply put, it is a machine that can observe the future.”
“oh. Is it like the mystery of prophecy?”
“It is shameful. However… the mysterious rain of prophecy borrows the power to read the mysterious ‘causality rate’ to create a variable future. In other words, it informs the ‘undetermined future’. However, the [Devil of Observation] observes the future by reading the formulas that make up the world, not the causal law, so it can read the huge flow, that is, the determined future.”
Lee Seo-joon made a face that he did not understand at the puzzling words.
However, hearing James’ words reminded me of the story the mysterious apostle had told in the past at the Donghae Water Relief Site.
Even back then, the apostle had said something similar to that.
“What is an undetermined future and a determined future?”
I went ahead and asked.
It was because he thought he would be able to answer the question of the apostle’s story now.
“It is literally. An undetermined future refers to a future that can be changed by human will. A determined future means a future that cannot be changed by will.”
“Are you saying the two are separated?”
“Yes. There are beings who have changed the outcome of the future through the mysteries of prophecy.”
It was only then that I was able to understand a little the meaning of what the apostle had said.
Because Hansung and the demons have definitely changed and chosen the future they want through the mystery of prophecy.
However, the word “determined future” was still difficult to understand.
If we can see the future, isn’t it possible to change it at any time with human will?
Then Seojun Lee intervened.
“Then can we see the future with that?”
The intent of the question is probably a curiosity related to Zaun’s purpose.
“hmm. I’m sorry, but no. It’s perfect in theory, but because of some error, the machine isn’t working properly yet. Every time it is activated again, a lot of horse power and electricity are consumed.”
“Then, after all, that’s an antique.”
Shin Young-Jun also intervened as if he was interested.
It could be a provocation, but James answered calmly.
“haha. Even failure has something to gain. If you study why it failed, a new hypothesis emerges and that hypothesis further advances your research.”
Shin Yeongjun blinked and nodded quietly, as if he had nothing to say.
James said, staring blankly at the machine.
“The cause of the failure we thought was probably because the [Devil of Observation] read the future correctly, but it seems to be unable to speak because it is bound by the laws of the world. The intention to not allow humans free will to choose the
future I don’t know if it will work.”
“…I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Shin Yeongjun scratched his head and avoided the seat.
James smiled and said.
“Okay, now that the break is over, let’s go prepare for the opening ceremony.”
Extra returned becomes a genius
