Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

"brother! Junhyuk oppa!”

“Uh, you?”

As soon as the entrance ceremony for Korea University was over, a woman ran towards me.

“Do you remember me?”

“Of course I remember.”

I looked down at the girl who looked about 160 centimeters tall and had a friendly smile on her face.

“Isn’t this Jisoo Lee who turned her life around by wearing the SAT item?”

“Ho ho ho. It’s all thanks to the horse tower items.”

Jisoo Lee came to my side and was excited about this and that and talked about it.

“Oppa, but aren’t you going to eat?”

“Go.”

Actually, I didn't know anyone, and I didn't have any friends of the same age, so I tried to eat alone like an outsider.

“Then eat with me. This time I will shoot.”

"Oh really?"

When I heard that Lee Ji-soo was shooting, I had a strange thought and looked back at him.

but

"Yes. I will shoot you coolly with the education of a Korean university.”

“·················ogue.”

"Hehehe."

Jisoo Lee covered her mouth as if it was funny at my absurd expression and laughed softly.

"just joke. I got it last time, so this time I'll shoot it in a nice place."

“Take your fancy places where you got your money? Let’s just follow your instructions and go get some education.”

We passed the large stadium like that and moved to the restaurant.

“Oh my, Jisoo.”

"uh? Cha Soo-yeon!”

Lee Ji-soo, who was walking side by side with me, found a friend from afar and greeted me warmly.

“Oppa, this is my middle school classmate Cha Su-yeon. Suyeon-ah, say hello. This is Lee Jun-hyuk, the older brother I know.”

“Oh, hello Junhyuk oppa? My name is Jisoo's friend Cha Su-yeon."

“Oh, yes. nice to meet."

A young girl with long straight hair that fell down to her shoulders, and a cute white face, bowed her head toward me.

'She seems to have a different charm than Ari...'

In fact, because she was Jisoo's friend, I didn't feel that she was a very girly girl, but she was a fresh high school graduate, so all her actions were fresh and cute.

“Isn’t your brother the national head of science this time? I heard that the only person who got a perfect score on the entrance exam in all of the arts and sciences was my brother...”

“I was lucky.”

In fact, the difficulty of last year's CSAT has significantly increased because of the SAT items released by Matop.

The difficulty level was so high that it was almost called hell or hell level difficulty. So, let alone a perfect score, it was rare for students to get more than 90% of the questions in each subject.“I am lucky. Can you get a perfect score by luck? It’s also the entrance exam…”

Cha Su-yeon looked at Lee Jun-hyeok with a slightly puzzled expression.

*

'This is the person my father was talking about, Lee Jun-hyuk...'

Cha Su-yeon remembered the appearance of Lee Jun-hyeok, whom she had seen as if passing by by chance during the entrance interview, and compared it with her current gaze.

‘A real person who moves the horse tower behind the scenes.’

Father Cha Dae-hoon is in deep trouble these days, ignoring his company work, meeting reporters and politicians at home and only talking about the horse tower.

-If the horse tower continues to grow without a break like this, eventually you will have no choice but to kneel in front of a person named Junhyuk Lee and beg.

- The day Matop enters the electronics industry, there will be millions of unemployed people. Matop will eat up not only jewelry and pharmaceuticals, but also the electronics industry... and all other industries.

- There will be a stronger corporate state than the state. Then, the Republic of Korea has no choice but to beg for life while licking the soles of the horse tower.

Cha Dae-hoon appealed to reporters and politicians like that, and prepared a trump card to punish the Matop Group.

'It's really the first time I've seen my father like this...'

It is not that there have been no media plays or political and business ties with politicians. But this time, it wasn't to beat the competitor. If they didn't do this, they were acting hastily as if the Jinsung Group itself would annihilate.

- Suyeon-ah, I have a request for you.

In the end, my father even asked him to help him.

-Lee Jun-hyeok, who is going to school with you this time... Can't you make him yours somehow? This is the mission of our group.

Cha Su-yeon was shocked by his father's request.

Since the group succession rights were already expected to be received by other older brothers and sisters, Cha Su-yeon received less touch than his other siblings.

He was a father who always told him to marry the one he wanted.

But, in the end, even asking for such a political relationship...

-all right.

However, in the end, Cha Su-yeon had no choice but to agree. To her her, her father was a precious person who could not be exchanged for everything in this world.

So, Cha Su-yeon decided to do her father's request for the first and last time.

yum yum, yum yum.

“Um, it’s delicious.”

"Yes? For a 1,700 won study, it’s good value for money.”

Lee Jun-hyuk and Lee Ji-soo were sitting side by side, praising their saliva as they eagerly devoured their first Korean university education.

'Is this delicious...?'

However, for Cha Soo-yeon, who eats the food of a high-end 7-star hotel every day, this kind of rice was almost like pet food.

‘Bulgogi with lettuce, pickled radish, radish miso soup, kimchi and alum…’

It was a simple meal with only what was needed, just like a 1,700 won study.

“Why are you eating so much?”

"···Huh? Oh, I'm eating. You've already eaten it all..."

Just as Cha Su-yeon looked down at her own dog food, she blankly looked down at her plate and began to play with a spoon in Lee Ji-soo's pin cup.

“👑👑👑.”

"Uhhh..."

Lee Ji-soo and Lee Jun-hyeok, who had already emptied the plate, were smiling while looking at them as if they were having fun.

'Ah, shameful....'

As for Cha Su-yeon, she acted like a young lady in front of her for nothing, and her relationship broke down not once or twice, so she tried to be as careful and careful as possible.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, brother. Whoops!”

“Hey, it’s okay. Eat slowly.”

“Yes, Suyeon-ah. Eat slowly.”

Lee Ji-su and Lee Jun-hyeok worried about herself, who had become crying because she pretended to be eating while she was eating. Cha Su-yeon said that from the first day of her admission, she was downgraded by Lee Jun-hyeok, and she was very upset in her heart.

“Sylph. Can you do well today?”

"Huh!"

Sylph took Ari's hand and toddled, arriving at a private kindergarten in Seoul.

Rather than go looking for an expensive place, she took a kindergarten as close as possible to her home.

Druck.

Ari got up at 6 in the morning, washed Sylph, fed breakfast, packed her supplies, and arrived at the kindergarten at 7:30.

"welcome."

"Hi Sir."

“I don’t know, San.”

As soon as the door opened, the kindergarten teacher who greeted the new students at the front welcomed Ari and the others.

Ari and Sylph also greeted each other in turn, and carefully sat down on the 40-pyeong floor covered with wood-grained tiles.

It was quiet inside because Ari and the party had arrived too quickly.

“You will still have to wait for the other kindergarteners to come.”

Saying so, the female teacher with a slightly round face presented her simple refreshments to her mother and daughter.

"thank you."

“I’m sorry, Sun-san.”

Sylph ate the snack, her eyes twinkling, with a happy expression on her face.

“He looks so cute. What is your name?”

"Ah yes. What is your name?”

Whenever Ari said her Sylph's name in front of her others, she always felt awkward.

“It’s Isylph.”

"Isil... What?"

“My surname is Mr. Lee and my name is Sylph.”

"iced coffee. It's an English name."

The kindergarten teacher did not find Sylph's name very strange, and she took it for granted.

‘These days, many people name their children in English.’

In the midst of traveling to the United States to give birth, it was not unusual for them to name their names in English.

Besides.

‘It seems that both her mother and daughter are of mixed race….’

blonde haired.His face looked slightly oriental, but his eyes and nose were clearly different from those of Asians.

‘It’s superior….’

In particular, as a woman, she looked as if the creator had put her hands on it, and that mother and daughter had facial features that seemed to have been trimmed over and over again as if the creator was really meticulously creating the heavens and the earth.

Druck.

So, after the mother and daughter of Ari, an additional pair of mother and daughter came in.

"Hi?"

The short-haired girl who came in with her slightly crippled mother greeted Sylph first.

"uh. Hi?"

Sylph also greeted each other with a wide smile on his dimpled face when his peers greeted him first.

“Can I eat this too?”

"Huh."

Sylph nodded quickly and handed over the cookie he was holding when his friend approached him and asked, pointing to the cookie.

Watching the two girls happily sharing sweets, Ari and the new parents smiled at each other with satisfaction.

“You must have been admitted to kindergarten here this time?”

"Yes. That’s how it happened.”

Ahri answered, feeling sorry for her old lady, who had her legs slightly limp.

“I left a little early because my legs were uncomfortable, but I didn’t know that other parents would already be there.”

The lame woman was wearing a frayed pink T-shirt and black spandex pants she bought from the market floor.

“Can I sit next to you?”

Having said that, the lame woman sat down next to Ari with a groan of ahhhh.

“You must have very uncomfortable legs.”

"Yes···. I got hurt last year, but I missed the treatment time, so my throbbing continues..."

The lame woman, with a slightly darkened look, she mumbled so.

“Now, all the money I have is running out, and I have to work for her daughter, but my ankles are like this…”

"i See."

Ari doesn't know exactly what it feels like to have her ankles throbbing, so she can't help but slap her back.

"Phew···. However, last year, there were people who felt pity for our mother and daughter and helped us, so we have survived until now, but that is the limit now.”

She continued her complaints.

In fact, she was the woman who lived in a shantytown last year and lame her. She said that her daughter was making a wish to God, and Lee Joon-hyuk was struck by lightning, and she has barely managed to make a living.

However, she was already too late to treat her ankle, and she had not paid her medical insurance in the meantime, so she had already disqualified her.

So, she was barely living day to day, looking at her daughter with a feeling of almost semi-desperation.

“It’s the first time we’ve seen each other today, so I’m sorry for talking like this. For nothing, I keep complaining because life is too hard for me.”

“It’s okay, if it’s hard, everyone is like that.”

As Ari answered that, she carefully opened her mouth again.

"Well······. If you ever need a job.”

Knowing that it was Ojirya, Ari unwittingly opened her mouth to the lame woman.

“Aren’t you planning on getting a job at the mato?”
