‘This is great.’

It was the best possible scenario. The situation he had hoped for came.

Soo-hyuk first glanced over the book that Brinis gave him.

“I’ll see you again later.”, he said to Brinis while getting up from seat.

“Oh, are you leaving already?”

As Soo-hyuk stood up, Brinis flinched and asked him with a saddened expression.

“Yes, I want get started with this as soon as possible.”

When asked by Brinis, Soo-hyuk replied with a smile holding the book.

“See you later.”

And Soo-hyuk, who said goodbye to Brinis, left the room.

Soo-hyuk, who exited the Tower of Fire, was quite stunned by the unexpected situation.

‘First.’

Soo-hyuk sat on a public bench near the tower. And opened the quest window and opened the second list.

Quest Reward: Skill – Hell Fire

When he opened the quest list, countless skill quests appeared.

‘So many…’

The fire spells Soo-hyuk weren’t many. Fireball, Fire Sphere, Fire Wall, Fire Storm, Flame and Fire were all.

‘I can learn everything except a few of these many things… … ‘

There were quests that involved catching a monsters or had other special conditions. Except for a few such quests, he could learn everything.

Soo-hyuk looked over the quests and started writing down the necessary ingredients on the note paper.

Skribble

After a while, Soo-hyuk, finished writing down all the necessary items on the note paper, closed the quest window, and stood up.

jog jog

Soo-hyuk got up from his seat and jogged back to the Fire Spire. Soo-hyuk, who entered the tower of fire, went straight up to the second floor and approached the third floor staircase on the other side.

“Huh..? Hello.”

The one who was guarding the stairs on the third floor was the wizard he had met earlier. The wizard, remembering Soo-hyuk’s face, quickly bowed his head and greeted him.

“I came to see the Towermaster.”

Soo-hyuk said after bowing his head a little.

“I will guide you.”

After listening to Soo-hyuk the wizard began guiding him. Then Soo-hyuk followed the wizard to the fifth floor.

This time, the Cordell did not appear, and the wizard was able to guide Soo-hyuk to the destination unlike before.

Tap Tap

“Master, there is a guest for you.”

When the wizard arrived in front of Brinis’ room, he called with knock.

Kkiiiig

Soon after, Brinis came out. And when Brinis saw Soo-hyuk, she muttered in surprise.

“Soo-hyuk?”

She was surprised because she didn’t expect him return so soon.

“I have something to tell you, so I am here again.”

Soo-hyuk answered Brinis’ murmur.

“Come on in!”

Brinis was suprised by Soo-hyuk’s words, smiled wide, and guided Soo-hyuk inside.

“Are you stuck somewhere?”

As soon as Soo-hyuk sat down, Brinis asked.

“Oh, that’s not it.”

At Brinis’ words, Soo-hyuk looked up and shook his head.

“….?”

Because of Soo-hyuk’s answer a slightly confused expression showed on Brinis’ face. If it wasn’t because he was stuck, why did he come back?

‘Surely.’

A hint of red flashed onto Brinis’ face with her delusional thoughts.

Of course, Brinis’ delusion was only a fantasy.

“Here…”

Soo-hyuk handed her a note. Brinis, who pulled out of her daydream, looked at the note with a puzzled expression and immediately tilted her head.

Brinis scanned ober the note multiple times and asked Soo-hyuk.

“Are you already… … ?”

“Yes.”

By any chance already done. She couldn’t finish the sentence, but Soo-hyuk understood what Brinis meant and nodded.

Brinis remained silent. She just stared at Soo-hyuk silently.

“Really….”

After a while, Brinis opened her mouth with an admiring tone.

“You are a tremendous talent! It took me 3 days to understand!”

Brinis really stunned. The book she gave to Soo-hyuk was read by Brinis too when she was learning magic, and it took her only three days to understand.

However, within a few hours, Soo-hyuk understood the book and was trying to cast magic. She couldn’t help but admire it.

Even if Soo-hyuk was experienced with magic of an other field, it was still an incredible speed considering the differences between fire and poison magic.

Brinis thought so.

“… … Thank you for the compliment.”

Soo-hyuk thanked Brinis with a slightly awkward smile.

“When will it be ready?”

Then he asked.

‘Tomorrow would be best… …

Soo-hyuk return so quickly because he was in a hurry. Soo-hyuk had scheduled a dungeon exploration three days from now. And in 2 days, lunch with Yeon-jeung.

In other words, tomorrow would be the best option as it was still free. But can they finish the preparation in one day?

“Well, it looks like it will take a little time to prepare.”

Brinis said, looking at the note.

“Do you have time tomorrow? I think we can prepare everything to tomorrow.”

“Yes! I can come.”

It was Soo-hyuk, who thought that tomorrow is the best. Soo-hyuk responded with a nod to Brinis.

“When should I come?”

Soo-hyuk asked Brinis again.

“After lunch tomorrow…..Oh, no. Let’s meet before lunch. Around 11 o’clock?”

“Okay. I’ll see you at 11 tomorrow.”

In response to Brinis’ words, Soo-hyuk got up from his chair.

“Are you leaving already?”

As Soo-hyuk got up from his seat, Brinis followed and asked.

“…?”

At Brinis’ question, Soo-hyuk looked puzzled, and Brinis continued.

“Any chance… …

Brinis, who mumbled the end of her sentence, looked at Soo-hyuk with anticipation.

“Ah yes. I will drink the tea and leave then.”

With the Brinis’ expression, Soo-hyuk was forced to sit back.

He was worried about refusing with Brinis’ expression like that. And in the current situation, he didn’t want to anger Brinis by refusing. As Soo-hyuk sat down, Brinis asked with a smile.

“What kind of girl do you like?”

The room of Cordell, the manager of the fire tower.

“not good. not good… …

Cordell muttered in the his room.

“Well… …”

Cordell, who seemed to be restless, leaned his back against his chair, sighing exhaustedly.

“No?”

Cordell recalled the situation two hours ago. Soo-hyuk came to meet Brinis. And Brinis’ look after seeing Soo-hyuk.

He knew that expression of Brinis.

A sigh came out. The reason Cordell went around the room anxious and sighed, was because of Brinis.

“Looking at her expression at that time, she’s on the verge of falling in love… …”

Cordell, who has been assisting Brinis for a long time, knew Brinis well. Brinis’ expression looking at Soo-hyuk was just before she fell in love.

“If past events repeat……..”

Cordell’s concern was the behavior of Brinis in love in the past. Cordell recalled the actions of Brinis in the past.

-I want to give you a present again.

Brinis, who liked to give presents to the men she loved, or gave them what she shouldn’t have. At that time, the financial situation deteriorated to the point that Brinis’ spending gave them the nickname of the Tower of Debt.

“It’s not going to be bad as I think….”

The good news was that Soo-hyuk had an unmeasurable talent and was a disciple of the Tower of Poison. His standing was different from those who she fell in love with in the past.

“It would have been nice if he came to our tower at that time.”

When they first learned of Soo-hyuk. At that time, he thought it would end in a competion. Because Soo-hyuk was a talent that couldn’t be measured and had no affiliation.

But not now. Soo-hyuk belonged to the Tower of Poison.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Soo-hyuk had come to the Tower of Fire instead of the Tower of Poison?

If Soo-hyuk had come to the tower of fire, he would not have had to worry about this now.

It was very regrettable.

“If everything goes in the worst direction……”

Cordell swallowed his regret and imagined the worst.

“We’ll get that dog-like nickname again.”

They would be called the “Tower of Debt”. They we’re certainly heading there again. No, it was Soo-hyuk, a class better from the past ones.

Unmeasurable talent and a disciple of the Venom Chief. There will be no feelings for most things, so maybe Brinis will give you a lot of stuff.

If that happens, the tower may collapse due to financial deterioration.

“It didn’t seem like I couldn’t think of it enough to receive it, but… …

Of course, this is the story of the worst possible scenario.

The story of not only Brinis but also Soo-hyuk if he was tactless.

In Cordell’s eyes, Soo-hyuk was a thoughtful man.

It wouldn’t turn to the worst.

It was then.

Knock..swshh

Immediately after knocking, the door opened. There was only one person in the Fire Tower who could open the room of Cordell, the manager of the tower, after knocking in this way.

“Brinis?”

It was Brinis.

“What are you doin’….”

Cordell asked Brinis, mumbling his words with anxious eyes.

“Ah, I have something to ask for!”

“Please?”

His anxiety amplified following her question.

“Here.”

Whether she knew about Cordell feelings or not, Brinis held out her hand with a bright expression.

Cordell looked at her hand, still anxious at Brinis’ words. She held a note.

First, Cordell received a note.

‘What is this?’

Cordell tilted his head when he saw what was written on the note.

“Can I ask what this is?”

And raise his head to Brinis and asked.

“Can you prepare this by tomorrow?”

Brinis answered his question with an other question.

“Yes?”

Naturally, Cordell asked. Why should he prepare these all of a sudden by tomorrow?

“Can you prepare them?”

Brinis asked Cordell again.

“Yes, I can, but….”

Cordell glanced at the note paper, mumbling, then looked at Brinis again and said.

“Why do you need them…..”

“I need this for a friend.”

“A friend?”

At Brinis’ words, Cordell was confused. Who is her friend?

“Soo-hyuk!”

Is it to solve Cordell puzzlement? Brinis replied with a wide smile.

Brinis’ bright laughter made Cordell unable to say anything. He just silently looked at Brinis’ bright smile and thought.

‘I need to talk to him.’

It seemed like he should have a conversation with Soo-hyuk.
