Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

“Fake?”

"Yes."

"Hey, I'm fine..."

Ahn Ji-min pinched his nose with an absurd expression and turned his head.

“You really formed a group and played with me, right?”

At Ahn Ji-min's angry voice, Eugene Kwang was embarrassed and waved his hands.

“Are you playing with it? I really wanted to do business with Jimin, so I just asked other people.”

“Someone who is good at cooking, there are so many, so why me?”

“There are many people in this world who are good at cooking, but no one is as good as Jimin, and again…”

“What else?”

When Jin-kwang Yu hesitated, Ji-min Ahn asked in an angry voice.

"...because I want to do business with Jimin..."

“·················ogue.”

I don't like doing it with other people.

I want to do it only with you.

At Yu Jin-kwang's words, Ahn Ji-min's face turned bright red.

Yu Jin-kwang didn't know if it was because he was angry or if it was for some other reason.

Jin-kwang Yoo started making various proposals to persuade Ahn Ji-min more actively.

“If Jimin is OK with it, then Manager Lee said that he would transfer all the recipes of food that exist in the world to Jimin and his skills so that he could become a god of cooking.”

“Are you Junhyeok?”

At Yoo Jin-kwang's tempting suggestion, Ahn Ji-min's ears pricked up for a moment.

‘Jun-hyuk is an archmage, so if he puts his mind to it, he can really do it…’

I will pass on all the recipes that exist in this world!

For anyone who likes to cook, this is a really good suggestion for anyone.

Besides, are you going to transfer the skills to become a 'god of cooking'?

‘Is it possible to learn the taste, smell, and taste of God…?’

Ahn Ji-min wondered if such a thing that he had only seen in comics or novels, would be possible in real life.

‘It will be possible. That person is 'God'...'

The fact that Lee Jun-hyeok was the 10th Circle Archmage was a fact that most people around him now knew.

Even among netizens, as a joke, the saying, 'This manager is the magician of Circle 10' was floating around.

“But I don’t have the confidence to do business well.”

At Ahn Ji-min's words, the corners of Yoo Jin-kwang's lips curled up.

“Don't worry about that. If I were to do business, wouldn’t it be me again?”

As Jin-Kwang Yoo assures, he has never failed since he opened the Matop Group.

Besides.

“Jimin is a good cook, and above all else, she is so pretty… that’s enough as a promotional model.”

“Ah, please stop making such sarcastic remarks! Suddenly, I don’t want to do it!”

"all right. Hahaha!"

Jin-kwang Yoo seemed to like Ahn Ji-min's face, so he grabbed his stomach and laughed out loud.

*

“Jimin has made a big decision.”

“... the head of the department is also one team!”"Hahaha. What is it?”

At Jimin Ahn's angry words, I accepted it coolly.

In fact, it is true that the three of us, Ari and Yoo Jin-kwang, made it and brought in Ji-min Ahn.

bum bum, bum bum.

I jumped up from my office desk and walked over to Jimin Ahn.

“What, what?”

Then, Jimin Ahn took a step back in surprise.

“As promised, I have to give Jimin a present.”

"Gift?"

“I told you that all recipes will pass on the new cooking skills.”

"Ah······."

I walked over to her crouching and grabbed her head with both hands.

It looked as if an ancient shaman was offering a living sacrifice.

“·················ogue.”

Jimin Ahn closed her eyes tightly.

'Hmm······.'

I put my arms around her and immediately started injecting magic into her head.

'Actually, you don't have to touch this directly, but it still feels like you're doing something like this...'

Without touching her hand, I was able to inject Ahn Ji-min with knowledge of the recipe and the skill of the god of cooking just by sitting down and thinking.

But, literally, "to look like it," I put my hand on her head.

“Okay, it’s all over.”

"Phew···."

Ahn Ji-min clenched her hands tightly, and she was hugging her body like a baby bird, and then she slowly opened her eyes to my words.

“Are you really done?”

“It’s really over.”

“I don’t think that much has changed… ah…!!!”

Ahn Ji-min gave a slightly bewildered expression, and then she immediately raised her hands and wrapped them around her head.

“It can be a little painful because it’s the first time. Too much knowledge was put into it at once.”

I said that to Ahn Ji-min, who was feeling dizzy.

“Jimin, are you okay?”

Eugene Kwang frowned with her worried expression on her forehead and approached her Ahn Ji-min and supported her.

‘Because of Jimin Ahn, I also studied cooking a lot during that time…’

Just like when I was studying for the entrance exam or electronics, I learned all the cooking skills that have been passed down through the cooking recipes and family visions that have spread all over the world with magical power.

Wow, it was only natural for Ahn Ji-min to feel “mind” because he smashed all the recipes from millions of years from the birth of mankind in just 30 seconds.

“Take a few days off to organize your thoughts. I've also increased brain capacity and processing speed, so it's going to take some time to get used to."

“·················ogue.”

Ahn Ji-min still grabbed her head, she didn't say anything and just frowned.

*

“Congratulations, little girl. They say they don't do that, they say they don't, and they do it eventually."

Ari greeted Ahn Ji-min and Yoo Jin-kwang, who returned home, and shouted that.

Although he was passive in front of others, he was kind to his friend Ahn Ji-min.

“But why is Jimin like this?”

Ari didn't respond to his jokes, but looked at Ahn Ji-min, who only frowned at her expression, and thought it strangely.

OK.

“Director Lee to Mr. Jimin…….”

Yoo Jin-kwang, who was supporting Ahn Ji-min, explained to Ari the situation in Lee Jun-hyeok's office, and gestured and walked.

“The manager grabbed Jimin’s head with both hands, and suddenly a brilliant light flashed.”

All of these were Lee Joon-hyuk's show-off effects.

"iced coffee······."

Ari nodded his head as if he knew what had happened.

“Originally, I could just sit and shake my hands, but I did it a bit wrong because my brother likes to show off in front of others.”

Ahri gasped in embarrassment and muttered like that.

“Anyway, Jimin has been taught all the recipes and cooking skills of the world, right? and envy What he didn't do for me, he does for Jimin."

Ari muttered like that, stabbing Ahn Ji-min's side with a slightly gloomy expression.

Yoo Jin-kwang towards such Ari.

“But it seems that such a gift is also painful. Jimin has been suffering since before.”

Perhaps he added that for a few weeks he would not do anything at home, and that he would have to recuperate.

“Well, that’s right.”

Ari nodded his head with a slightly sad expression and patted Ahn Ji-min's back.

“Go in and get some rest. I'll take care of Choyul."

"···thanks."

After barely muttering like that, Ahn Ji-min went into his room.

“·················ogue.”

“····.”

In the end, Ari and Yoo Jin-kwang, who were left alone, sat down at the table and started talking.

“How did you convince Jimin?”

“It was really hard, madam.”

Yoo Jin-kwang took a deep breath as he released all the efforts he had made to win the favor of Ahn Ji-min, starting from the first date.

“It was more difficult than business.”

“Dating is a business in a way.”

“It is.”

“Anyway, what do you plan to do next? Are you really going to start a food business?”

At Ari's question, Eugene Kwang nodded her head.

“I have to. Jimin likes to cook, too, and I think the food business has a clear future thanks to this unification.”

“Ah, unification…”

Ari heard that this time, as the three northeast provinces and North Korea were absorbed into South Korea, the population increased several times.

‘They say that most of the children in North Korea are starving…’

Ari thought that it would be good to run a free meal service for such North Koreans.

Yoo Jin-kwang excitedly explained his business plan to Ari, who was in trouble.

“From now on, Jimin will come forward and show off his skills on cooking programs, and as the president of Matop Food, I plan to lead the culinary business in various ways.”

“Heh heh. I don't know if Jimin is going to do something like that."

Ariga, let's cover her mouth and giggle and laugh.

“I have to. In the future, you will become a ‘boss’, not an ordinary person.”

"Yes. When I was the boss, I did everything without covering the fire.”

Ari covered his mouth and smiled, reminiscing for a moment when he was running a jewelry shop in the past.

'If I hadn't met my brother, I would still be running a jewelry shop...'

Ari was curious about how her life has changed since meeting Lee Jun-hyeok, and he laughed and chatted happily with Yoo Jin-kwang.*

after a few weeks.

"after···."

Ahn Ji-min got up from his seat and spread the blanket.

'I've rested enough to rest...'

She made her resolve.

squeaky.

With her pajamas on, she opened the door and went outside.

“Is there no one…?”

It was a little past lunch time, and the house was empty with no one in it.

- Later, when you wake up, eat.

A yellow post-it note was attached to the table, along with Ari's lunch box.

‘Shall we start with some rice?’

Ahn Ji-min salivated while looking at the salty meat bandits and the spicy budae-jjigae lunch.

"after···."

Due to the knowledge Jun-hyeok Lee had instilled in her, she had to roll around on the floor of her room for weeks and wrap her head around her.

Starting from the Paleolithic era, it was a harm caused by being infused with humankind's millions of years of culinary knowledge at once.

However.

‘Still, it’s true that I received a huge gift that others couldn’t get.’

Ahn Ji-min did not consider this pain painful.

Rather, he thought he swallowed a bitter pill to get good results.

‘Your cooking skills have really improved.’

Ahn Ji-min felt satisfied with herself as she felt that her senses of sight, smell, and taste had changed in many ways while eating.

‘If you can acquire these abilities, you can suffer as much as you want.’

It was the knowledge and skills that no one wanted to obtain.

However, Ahn Ji-min got to know a good relationship with Lee Jun-hyeok, and she got such a great gift.

‘If you look at it that way, I don’t think it’s really a normal relationship with Junhyuk...’

In the past, since Ahn Ji-min lived in her shantytown, she received help from Lee Jun-hyeok, knowingly and unknowingly.

Later, after hearing all such circumstances from her Ari, she learned the full story of the incident belatedly.

'I'll have to repay you...'

Lee Jun-hyeok and Yoo Jin-kwang wanted Ahn Ji-min to become the president of Matop Food, so they gave this ability and consideration.

It wasn't something that Ahn Jimin didn't even know about.

‘I’m going to try hard.’

Thinking so, Ahn Ji-min cleaned up the table she had finished eating, and then she picked up her smartphone and called somewhere.

tuh

tow

-Hello?

Then, from the other side of her, she heard a phone call.

“Hello, Hye-eun. This is Jimin Ahn. Do you remember?”

- Ah, Jimin. Are you finally ready to sortie?

The person Ahn Ji-min called her was Lee Jun-hyeok's younger brother, 'Lee Hye-eun', the president of Matop Broadcasting.

‘Ready to sortie?’

Ahn Ji-min heard Lee Hye-eun's words, and she felt her hands and feet shrivel for a moment, then she answered again with a cheerful voice.

“Yes, Hye-eun. I am all ready.”
