Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“Yum yum yum yum!”

“Sylph, eat slowly.”

“Okay, just let me eat.”

President Choi Jong-hwan came from the official residence with a lot of snacks, and Silf was bingeing for the first time in his life.

Sylph, who had already grown to some extent right after birth, was the visual of a 5-6 year old girl.

So, President Choi Jong-hwan loved Sylph a lot, as if he was seeing Ari as a child.

He stroked his head and cheeks, tempted me a few times with delicious food, and kissed the cheek a few times.

Sylph was so preoccupied with delicious snacks that even when President Choi Jong-hwan gave him a skinship, he focused only on snacks.

“Father, are you very busy these days?”

"Huh? I am always busy.”

Ari knew that his father had been struggling with the recent North Korean issue.

South Korea's security issue was ultimately a diplomatic issue with North Korea. There is no need to start a military conflict with countries like Japan, China and the Philippines.

North Korea is the only divided country in the world and the country that is economically backward.

For South Korea, North Korea was a sore finger. And it was like a half-forsaken child.

North Korea, which possesses nuclear weapons, was building its own dictatorship so thoroughly that even the United States could not do anything about it.

And whenever he had a chance, he only provoked and quarreled with the proud Koreans.

Each time the president changed, North Korea negotiated with various masks depending on its political orientation.

However, in the end it came down to three things. It was to maintain the current system, to recognize nuclear powers, and to provide economic support.

In the United States and the UN, it is always nuclear that puts North Korea on the negotiating table, but North Korea has been stymied after several political shows that destroy several outdated nuclear test sites.

In fact, the real nuclear tests were all done in other secret places.

When North Korea gave up its nuclear program, it meant that it was giving up its current dictatorship.

A nuclear-free North Korea could not withstand pecking pressures from around the world.

And, China was also aiming at North Korea like that.

“North Korea recently attacked Baengnyeong Island. What happened to that matter?”

"Well······."

The expression of President Choi Jong-hwan, who was holding Silph in his arms and peek-a-boo, hardened for a moment and then opened.

“You don’t care that much. I'm doing it all on my own..."

Choi Jong-hwan deliberately did not discuss the matter in order not to burden his daughter's heart.

The reason her daughter came here today is probably that she came to comfort herself who was worried about it.

Choi Jong-hwan felt it too.

However, Ari was tenacious.

“What would your father do if there were any changes in North Korea?”

"what???"

Ari recalled what he had heard from Lee Jun-hyeok before, and was so lucky.

- I can't go without it. Then more people will be hurt or harmed.”

-But, what will change when Junhyuk goes?

- It changes a lot.

-how?

-Once South and North Korea will be unified.

-Yes!???

“What the hell does that mean? Any other changes happening in North Korea???”

When Ari was lost in thought for a moment, recalling the conversation with Lee Jun-hyuk, Choi Jong-hwan asked in a surprised voice.

Then, Ari spoke clearly and in a calm tone that was no different than usual.

“Literally. Soon, something completely different will happen in North Korea.”

“Isn’t this completely different from what you’ve been up to?”

“For example, something like a sudden change in North Korea?”

“Heh, that’s right…….”

Choi Jong-hwan burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke.

“Why are you smiling, Grandpa?”

“Hahaha, nothing. Just because Sylph is cute.”

“Hehe~”

Sylph sat on Choi Jong-hwan's lap and rolled around, showing all kinds of aegyo. As soon as she was born, she spoke Korean well and had a pleasant personality, so I fell in love with Ari and Choi Jong-hwan.

“Ariya. I know what you're worried about, but we can't revolt so easily in North Korea. It's something no one else has ever done before..."

“What if that someone could do it?”

“Who can do such a thing? If there is someone who can really do that, that person is now a hero of our country.”

“Are you serious about that?”

"okay. If anyone has ever done such a thing, I will make it happen. I will respect that person as a greater person than any other great person in our country. Of course, doing that is a great thing in itself.”

“I understood what my father was saying.”

Choi Jong-hwan was just saying to match the rhythm of his daughter, but Ari accepted the words sincerely and jumped with joy.

“Mom, why are you laughing?”

"Yes?"

When Silph saw Ari and called her mother, Choi Jong-hwan's expression suddenly hardened.

"mom?"

“Ah… no, that’s not it…”

"Aren't you supposed to be the daughter Sylph hid? With another man I don't know..."

"father! What the hell are you talking about?”

"Ah... no, I'm just..."

“It’s not like my father even said that.”

When Ah-ri got angry with tears in her eyes, Choi Jong-hwan was rather embarrassed and quickly corrected it.

“It’s a joke, it’s a joke. I just did it. But why does Sylph call you Mom?”

“I guess it’s because I’m just thankful that I’m doing a good job. So please do not misunderstand.”

"I get it."

Ari was distracted for a while, but he had to change the mood again because he had something to tell his father today.

"father."

"Yes why?"

“Have you met the Matop group members last time?”

“Yes, I have met you. I had a luncheon with Matop Group Chairman Yoo Jin-kwang and Matop Pharmaceutical President Park Tae-jin.”

“What were you talking about then?”

“Why?”

“I am now a member of the Matop Group.”

"what? Why are you saying that now?”

In fact, like Lee Jun-hyeok, Ari was doing all the work under Yoo Jin-kwang's name, so not much was known about it.

People say that there is an excellent female designer who is in charge of designing Matop Jewelry, but Ari's identity has never been revealed to the public.

Choi Jong-hwan also knew only that his daughter was still running a jewelry store in Myeong-dong, but could not have imagined that Ari was a member of the hottest Matop group.

“What position do you hold in the Matop Group?”

“I am a designer.”

“Then, are you the main character who is in charge of designing Matop Jewelry?”

“What is the main character? I am just helping Junhyeok a little bit.”

“Mr. Junhyeok? Who else is that?”

Choi Jong-hwan knew only Yoo Jin-kwang and Park Tae-jin when it came to the Matopian group, but he could not have guessed or even imagined that there was Lee Jun-hyuk behind them.

She thought Ari had to give permission to Lee Jun-hyeok, and now that she needed an agreement between her father, South Korea, and the United States before the sudden change in North Korea, she should only tell her father Lee Jun-hyeok's secret.

“He’s the archmage who designed the matops group behind the scenes.”

"what? Archmage?”

For a moment, Choi Jong-hwan wondered if he had heard it wrong, and tilted his head. He's not just a wizard, is he an arch wizard? She was so shocked that she wondered if her daughter had watched too many fantasy movies these days.“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Literally.”

"what?"

“If there was no such transcendent power, would the newly emerged Matop Group be able to produce such great things in a matter of months? Don't you think it's strange even if you think about it?"

“·················ogue.”

Choi Jong-hwan couldn't find any words to refute for a moment. He too, of course, was thinking strangely. He was so strange that he secretly used people to find out by using all the ways he could recognize it.

However, he couldn't find any special secrets or strange things about the Matop Group.

Yoo Jin-kwang and Park Tae-jin, whom he met, also had great bluffs, but their skills were well...? it was

He had a strong feeling that someone was manipulating these two people from behind.

However, I had no idea who it was or what powers he had.

Among the people, there was a real wizard hiding in the Magic Tower group, or that the wizard had designed the Magic Tower group using Daedong Group until now.

But what about magic in the 21st century science age? Choi Jong-hwan couldn't believe the story at all.

It is true that he is using some unusual technique in the Matop Group. However, I thought it was just a special skill that we wouldn't be able to figure out. high technology. He thought it was something that transcended time.

However, the more he listened to what his daughter was saying, the more President Choi Jong-hwan couldn't keep his composure.

As if driving a wedge to his father, Ari recounted all the facts and history of Lee Jun-hyeok.

All of these were the truths that Jun-hyeok Lee had been given permission before leaving for North Korea and had no choice but to tell in the future.

“Mr. Junhyeok is an archmage who was taken to another world called Demos when he was 17 and survived for 100 years and returned. He is an Archmage of the 10th Circle that even the strongest demon in the world could not budge.”

“·················ogue.”

“Because the time orbit with the Earth was different, the time difference was less than one-ninth, but in the end he came back. 15 years in Earth time.”

After Lee Jun-hyeok returned to Earth, Ari confessed that it was not just a natural disaster that Lee Jun-hyeok suffered, but that it was not just a natural disaster.

“My first relationship with him was as a jewelry store owner and guests. Somehow, from the first meeting with him, I could sense that he had a special ability. So he did the best he could. So, he helped me a lot too.”

“How do you mean?”

“First of all, you saved me a lot from a crisis. When the Daedong group tried to kidnap me, it was also Junhyuk who saved me. Junhyuk removed Daedong Group in retaliation for him.”

"her······."

“The reason Daedong Group created the Matop Group was all because of Junhyuk’s instructions. The reason why we launched Fancy for the SAT was because Junhyeok wanted to try making something like that while he was preparing for the SAT, and the same goes for Matop Pharmaceuticals.

"Nonsense······."

“You may not believe it, but you have to believe it. 'Cause it's all true If he ignores the truth, he could make a big mistake in the future.”

“What mistake are you talking about?”

“For example, foreign relations with North Korea.”

The more he listened to Ari's explanation, the more Choi Jong-hwan felt an unknown alienation.

How could such a great wizard wander around Korea? He also caught on that such a wizard had some kind of relationship with his daughter.

“What the hell are you doing with him?”
