Regressor Takes Everything

Chapter 91 – Do You Get It Now? (2)

“So… … Is that person Hermit, an S-class hunter?”

 

“Yes.”

 

At Julius’ answer, Kang Yoo-sik put on a bewildered expression.

 

Hermit.
An unidentified S-class hunter who has not revealed anything about gender, age, or race.

 

He wondered if it really existed, but it’s the old man he met a while ago, a special species who always sparks gossip.

 

 

“Hermit was an old man… … It’s a little surprising.”

 

“I am not an old man.”

 

“Oh? So, did you change your voice?”

 

Julius shook his head at Kang Yoo-sik’s question.

 

“We are elderly people here, but when we meet elsewhere, our gender, age, and race all change depending on the place.
There is nothing that can be said to have been seen.”

 

“Disguise… … It seems a little different.”

 

“Think of it as nothing you just saw.”

 

In Julius’s story, Kang Yoo-sik suddenly remembered the grandmother at the drugstore who gave him Hydron before returning home.

 

‘Then it could have been Hermit, too.’

 

He kept making strange noises as if he had lost his temper, but it seems he wasn’t an ordinary person.

 

Before returning home, Kang Yoo-sik realized why it was impossible even if he tried to find a drugstore and grandmother, and looked at Julius.

 

 

“Then what happened to the next president of the Magic Society?”

 

At Kang Yoo-sik’s question, Julius rubbed the almost burnt cigarette into the ashtray and put it out.

 

“To become the president of the society, you have to get Hermit’s approval, and you got that approval.
There’s nothing special about it or anything like that, so there’s no need to complicate it.”

 

“Hmm.
The conditions are simpler than you think.”

 

The Magic Society is basically a group that maintains neutrality and promotes harmony among wizards, but its power is never weak.

 

Unlike other professions that were divided into factions and antagonized, the wizards were almost united as one.

 

As the president of the society had witnessed what would happen if he gave an ‘order’ before returning, the conditions seemed too simple for Kang Yoo-sik.

 

“Simple… … .”

 

However, Julius looked at Kang Yoo-sik with an absurd expression on his story and smiled.

 

“A teacher and a disciple say the same thing.
Just in case, don’t say that anywhere else.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Because spirits who have turned their eyes can shoot magic at random.
It’s not a metaphor, it can be real, so be careful.”

 

“… … Yes.
I will keep that in mind.”

 

I thought it was a little tricky, but it must have been a hallway that was harder to find than I had imagined.

 

In response to Kang Yoo-sik’s answer, Julius continued to talk while rummaging through his arms and putting a new cigarette in his mouth.

 

 

“First of all, to be clear, just because you got the qualifications doesn’t mean you have to become president of the society.
Your teacher, the Arch-Mage, also refused.”

 

“Is that so?”

 

“Of course, if I were to retire due to unavoidable circumstances, I would have to sit down for a while until a new candidate came out… … You don’t have to worry about that.
I have no intention of retreating, and I have no intention of going to the dungeon.”

 

“It seems that you liked the seat of the president of the academy.”

 

“There are many catalysts provided.
If you only want to do research, there is no better place than the seat of the president of a society.”

 

Seeing Julius smoking a cigarette while smiling, Kang Yoo-sik recalled the story a while ago.

 

‘It’s good that I don’t have to be the president of the society.’

 

 

The seat of the president of the society is not bad, but there are so many things to do, and above all else, the attention of those around you is even more intense.

 

For that reason, in the long run, it would be better to have an acquaintance with the president of the society than to become the president directly.

 

“Then nothing has changed now.”

 

“If you want to do that.
Well, now that I’m sharing a secret that other people don’t know, I think we can become closer than before.”

 

Julius with a cigarette in his mouth showing a nice smile.
Seeing that, Kang Yoo-sik pondered for a moment.

 

‘I think it’s okay to ask about Hydron.’

 

Now that I know who the supplier of Hydron is, and I’ve just received something good to talk about, it would be just right.

 

The moment Kang Yoo-sik made a decision and was about to ask Julius.

 

“I have a question for you.”

 

Julius spoke first.

 

“These two.
Can you tell the difference?”

 

Two cigarettes on the desk.
Kang Yoo-sik, who looked down at it, shook his head, pondering how to respond.

 

“They are both the same thing.
It is also a special item that is different from regular cigarettes.”

 

“… … I could tell, too.”

 

Julius, who was muttering in a startled voice, looked at Kang Yoo-sik, packing a cigarette and Hydron.

 

“As you said, this is a special cigarette called Hydron, which I got from Hermit.”

 

“What effect does it have?”

 

“The effects are quite complex, but… … Simply put, it is an extension of life.”

 

So far, the conversation was as expected.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Julius and asked what he wanted to know.

 

“Then… … Are you seriously injured?”

 

Julius looked at Kang Yoo-sik with his mouth shut for a moment, and then unbuttoned the clothes he was wearing.

 

A chest that is not much different from other people, except that she has gained a little bit of weight.
When Kang Yoo-sik looked at him with a slightly strange expression.

 

Whoops-!

 

Ribs engulfed in flames were revealed.

 

A look that cannot be explained simply by a wound or a curse.
After staring at it for a while, Kang Yoo-sik quickly recognized its identity.

 

“Minehwa?”

 

In response to Kang Yoo-sik’s question, Julius continued the story by locking the button on his shirt again.

 

“When I was on active duty.
In the dungeon, party members were wiped out and I was also seriously injured.
I couldn’t even expect a rescue team, so I tried to give up… … Suddenly, one thing came to mind.”

 

 

A magic stone pouch that I forgot to bring to the dungeon after buying it for magic research.
Julius pulled out the pocket while his consciousness was dim, and he pulled out a magic stone and stabbed it in his own heart.

 

He transformed into a demon and absorbed the remaining magic stones to recover the wounds that were in a dying state.

 

Upon hearing the story, Kang Yoo-sik exclaimed in admiration.

 

‘Could this have happened?’

 

It was not in order to sustain the dying body, nor to obtain powerful power.

 

Julius was already a Magician from this point on, and it was revealed later that he was subjugated as it was.

 

“I lived for a while, but that was a problem.
Demons are non-human beings… … He’s a monster who can’t control his urge to kill.”

 

When Julius was contemplating whether to take refuge in a place untouched by people or whether to take his own life.
It was Hermit who appeared before him.

 

“At that time, I was a young man selling cigarettes at the kiosk… … He handed me Hydron and said this.
I’ll let you be human until the opportunity comes.”

 

“Yes… … .”

 

There was also such a method in Hydron.
And when Kang Yoo-sik is admiring it.

 

“And that opportunity is today.”

 

“… … Yes?”

 

When Kang Yoo-sik looked at him with a puzzled expression, Julius took a piece of paper from his pocket and held it in front of him.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

[Items are not coming in anymore.
-H-]

“… … ?”

 

“This is the note that Hermit left yesterday.
There will be no Hydron in the future.”

 

“… … .”

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at Julius’s story with a puzzled expression, and immediately understood the meaning of the words and asked.

 

“therefore… … Am I the opportunity Hermit talked about?”

 

 

“It was vague until yesterday, but… … I was just convinced by the story.
You are my chance.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik was taken aback by Julius talking without a single doubt, but suddenly came to mind and asked.

 

“But what do you mean by completing it in the first place?”

 

“My esoteric magic that I proposed to work with you last time.
That is what we will have to complete.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at Julius with an absurd expression on his face and pondered his thoughts.

 

‘Therefore… … I don’t know what the principle is, but Hermit said that if he completed his arcane magic, he would be fine.’

 

To be honest, I don’t even know how much arcane magic has to do with minecraft, but Hermit said that, and Julius seemed to believe in it.

 

Kang Yoo-sik pondered for a moment on how to deal with this situation and then asked.

 

“How long can you last?”

 

“I still have the things I gave you, so… … It could last a year.”

 

“1 year… … .”

 

It seems a little tight, but it’s not too bad.

 

Although it was in an unfinished state, it is because Leviathan’s theory that reproduced up to 60% of its power was contained in his head.

 

‘If you pull it out moderately and develop it by squeezing the brains of smart people around you… … .’

 

Kang Yoo-sik, who was thinking about bouncing the abacus quickly in his head, looked at Julius.

 

“All right.
Let me help you.”

 

“…Really?”

 

Julius gave a strange expression to the answer that came out cooler than expected.

 

The magic society president is actually a magician, and he has only one year to maintain his reason.
Besides, he has no choice but to complete arcane magic that he doesn’t know how to solve.

 

He immediately accepted the proposal that would not be strange even if he attacked him, saying that it is absurd and nonsense.

 

‘But it’s that simple… … .’

 

Julius looked at him with a strange expression, which could not be explained by just being bold, and Kang Yoo-sik gave a simple answer.

 

“Instead, it’s not free.”

 

“… … Are you going to get paid?”

 

“Yes.
And you have to write an oath for that part.”

 

Julius’ story seemed to be telling with sincerity, but Kang Yoo-sik couldn’t believe it.

 

 

Right now, even if I am just myself, I have lied many times with an iron plate on my face to build up my debts, but would it be different from other people?

 

‘The only thing to believe is the debt and the pledge.’

 

It’s a little tight to take on debt right now, so in the end, it’s just a pledge.
Julius pondered for a moment at Kang Yoo-sik’s resolute story and then nodded.

 

“If that’s enough, I’ll do it.
What about the pledge?”

 

“I do what I have.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik took a piece of parchment from his pocket and placed it on the desk.
A strong vow, ‘Omerta’, made through Andvaranaut.
Seeing this, Julius gave a slightly startled expression.

 

“Wow…even found something like this… … .”

 

“Because the world is so cruel.
Otherwise, it is hard to believe the pledge.”

 

“Hmm.
So what are the conditions?”

 

“First of all, it must be about safety.”

 

Kang Yoo-sik, who grabbed the pen, wrote the clause familiarly, and Julius, who saw the content, gave a slightly surprised expression.

 

It was written in such a way that it did not significantly limit our daily life while thoroughly preventing the missing parts by obscuring the notation in the pledge.

 

‘It’s not something I’ve done once or twice… … .’

 

When Julius is looking curiously.
Kang Yoo-sik then wrote the compensation part.

 

As the president of the society, he pays attention and provides various conveniences so that there is no hindrance to helping the research.

 

Again, this was written like a runaway from the baseline of illegality, but Julius’ eyes widened when he saw the final reward.

 

“If the magic was completed within a year.
I give away all of the Hydrons I haven’t used yet… … It’s a pretty confident condition.”

 

“If you can get such a huge thing, why not work harder?”

 

Julius grinned at Kang Yoo-sik’s question.

 

“So it is.”

 

Since it was properly balanced from the start, Julius made no objection to the provisions, and after a while, all the conditions were settled and the pledge was completed.

 

“My condition is this.
Would you like to sign?”

 

Julius looked down at the pen held out with the pledge, smiled slightly, and picked up the pen.

 

“There is no reason not to.”

 

Oooh-!

 

As Julius finished signing the oath, the pledge was triggered, and Kang Yoo-sik sighed.

 

‘It’s a little sad.’

 

If you set specific compensation like this, it will be difficult to create a debt relationship.
Because reasonable compensation has been promised in advance, it becomes difficult to meet the conditions.

 

So, I focus on the fact that I helped as much as possible, but this time, Julius, the target, is in a slightly dangerous state, so I dealt with it this way.

 

 

‘Still, as long as it pays off well, it’s as easy as debt.’

 

Whatever it is, as long as you complete the arcane magic, everything will work out.
When Kang Yoo-sik is thinking like that.

 

“First of all, it’s something I’ve been thinking about on my own.”

 

Julius handed a thick file in front of him, and Kang Yoo-sik received it as it was and looked at the contents.

 

‘Hmm.
It’s Leviathan.’

 

The name has not been decided yet, but the basic gist is the same as before the regression.
Thinking like that, Kang Yoo-sik was handing over the files.

 

‘Huh? Why is the page still there?’

 

According to his memories, Julius’s plan for Leviathan left a total of 14 pages.
Yet even though it’s already 10 pages, there are still pages that are doubled.

 

With a puzzled expression on his face, Kang Yoo-sik continued to turn the pages, and after that, he found the contents of 15 pages and widened his eyes.

 

‘The plan… … There were more?’

 

A plan that did not exist before the return.
At that fact, Kang Yoo-sik suddenly remembered Julius’s end.

 

Julius was subjugated by Hunters while burning Manhattan.
Of course, the conference room where he first ran into a mess was also messed up… …

 

‘… … That’s when I rode it!’

 

Before the return, Leviathan was in a state of lack of plans, so he was able to reproduce only 60% of what Julius had planned!

 

‘This makes the difficulty more difficult… … .’

 

Once there is a follow-up plan, there is bound to be a big difference from Laevatein developed before the return.

 

When Kang Yoo-sik was looking at the plan with a firm expression on his face, realizing that the research results of Laevatein developed by later wizards could be blown into the air if he made a mistake.

 

“… … Well?”

 

It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen it, but it’s strangely familiar.

 

Kang Yoo-sik continued to hand over the plans in an improbable sense of dread and gradually changed into a strange expression.

 

And the moment I finally read the last chapter.
Julius, who was smoking a cigarette and watching with a nervous expression, asked.

 

“How is it?”

 

At that question, Kang Yoo-sik looked down at the plan again and smiled involuntarily.

 

Everything that comes out of people’s heads is similar, but how could such things overlap?

 

Kang Yoo-sik looked at Julius with a relaxed smile at the problem that was solved more easily than expected.

 

“Do you know Mr.
Lee Chang-wan?
