Person: Han Kain (Knowledge)
Date: Day 37
Present Location: Flooring 1, Room 107 (Gate Room)
Sage’s Recommendation: 3
With the sudden change in environment got here an surprising assertion.
“You’re a mage, aren’t you?”
Understanding its that means wasn’t troublesome. I’ve the Grimoire, in any case.
The curious half was that the Grimoire was sealed by the lodge.
I shortly requested by means of the chat window.
Han Kain: It appears to be due to the Grimoire? It is sealed, so how does she know?
Kim Ahri: There may be traces of possession left in your physique or soul.
Han Kain: I am going to play alongside for now.
Assume.
I am not some film star, and this witch isn’t a idiot who’d immediately fall for me at first sight.
Furthermore, isn’t she imagined to be an especially vile entity?
She should need one thing from me to behave this fashion.
Recalling the journal entries I noticed within the basement and the powers of my Grimoire, a hazy image began to type.
The witch wielded an evil energy, and in consequence, her physique was was a monster.
Is she in search of to make use of my Possession capacity to switch her soul to a different physique?
I straightened my posture, smiled, and stepped towards the witch.
“Though I wasn’t notably hiding my id, I did not count on the Woman to acknowledge it at first look.”
Kim Mooksung: Woman? LADY??? Are you drunk?
“Oh my! I could also be a humble mountain witch, however I am not blind. The traces of a mage’s spirit leaving its physique are so apparent; how might I not discover?”
“Haha! It appears I’ve a lot to be taught from you. Could I ask the Woman’s identify”
“I’m known as Arima Nitra. And also you, Lord Mage?”
“My identify is Han Kain, Woman Arima.”
Kim Mooksung: What do you propose to be taught? The right way to make human sausages?
Lee Eunsol: Please be quiet. Let’s deal with the dialog. That is vital.
Han Kain: Please cease the chat.
“Mage Han, we might make glorious companions. I’m well-versed within the mystique of the human physique, and you’ve got mastered the secrets and techniques of the thoughts and spirit. Collectively, we will attain the top of magic.”
Kim Ahri: The temper is kind of good! They may as properly get married. The “Woman” half was humorous.
“That sounds promising, however I’m deeply involved concerning the deteriorating situation of my companion.”
“In fact, I can absolutely deal with him. Nevertheless… you’ll present your sincerity in return, will not you?”Thê supply of this conte/nt n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Yu Songee: Can we belief her?
Elena: We’ll should preserve monitoring her.
After negotiating with the witch, she left the cabin.
Firstly, the witch will periodically deal with Cha Jinchul.
Secondly, I’ll educate the witch how one can use possession magic.
And lastly, the therapy and instructing will occur concurrently.
There have been different particulars, however the core factors had been these three.
Even to an beginner, the settlement had apparent points.
Eunsol-noona identified in astonishment.
“This can be a ridiculous settlement. If anybody introduced such an settlement to an organization, it could instantly be was a paper airplane and thrown again at them.”
“Why throw a paper airplane? Because of this Daeyang Group will get a nasty status.”
“Grandpa, why carry that up now? Anyway, this settlement lacks any clauses about repercussions for breaking it. It is excellent for betrayal.”
Ahri responded dismissively.
“Is there a necessity for anti-betrayal clauses? Either side plan to take care of betrayal by means of power. The witch doubtless thinks we’re not a big risk after the primary encounter, and we imagine we will kill the witch now that Elena can combat. Either side are able to kill one another, so the settlement is easy.”
“I nonetheless do not know if letting the witch go was the proper determination. She did not appear very sturdy in her human type. I am afraid our want to save lots of Jinchul clouded our judgment,” Grandpa replied, nonetheless uneasy.
Kim Ahri: We will not present any weak spot.
Songee’s comfortable voice echoed.
“Luca!”
-Bang!
A two-headed wolf, as massive as an ox, leaped amongst Arima’s entourage from the again of the cabin.
Earlier than Arima and her social gathering might react, the wolf’s maw snapped shut, tearing off the higher physique of one of many guards.
Silence enveloped the air earlier than succumbing to terror-filled screams.
“Aaaahhhhh!”
That transient response was sufficient to gauge the group’s degree.
The witch’s 9, now eight, guards had been calm sufficient to attract their weapons and collect across the witch.
They had been well-trained. They actually weren’t amateurs.
In distinction, the slaves had been terrified, rolling on the bottom, unable to even consider escaping.
Even with an ox-sized two-headed wolf earlier than them, their worry of the swap far exceeded that of the wolf.
I calmly noticed Arima’s expression.
The witch’s eyes flared with anger.
“You insolent—”
I shortly grabbed her hand and spoke.
“I apologize. We lately tamed this creature we met within the forest, and it was very hungry. I did not count on it to pounce instantly. I apologize for this.”
“…I’d have gladly given you a slave if you happen to had requested.”
“I am sorry. I merely wished to indicate you a small show of my talents.”
“A small show?”
Good.
She took the bait.
“There are lots of fierce creatures within the forest. The facility to tame and management them! Is not it far superior to those flimsy guards?”
The witch’s expression softened immediately.
I acquired a way of her persona.
When the witch needs one thing, she reveals this sort of perspective.
“Oh my, so Lord Mage has mastered such mysterious arts? Would it not be attainable so that you can educate me this as properly?”
I smiled barely and gestured towards Songee.
Songee approached me and bowed gracefully.
“She is my disciple. Although she continues to be studying, taming a canine is just not a troublesome process for her.”
The witch’s eyes curved right into a crescent form.
“Lets begin with treating Mage Han’s companion first?”
“Thanks. I hope our alternate will probably be mutually useful.”
The truth that one among her males had simply been eaten by the wolf was already a non-issue between us.
Holding Arima’s hand, I led her contained in the cabin.
With Songee’s preliminary intimidation, Seungyub and Ahri continued to take care of a well mannered demeanor, boosting morale.
Each time I examine scams within the information exterior the lodge, I all the time puzzled:
What makes individuals so silly?
In lots of high-profile rip-off circumstances, it was not often the case that the con artist set a entice so crafty that the victims had no alternative however to fall for it.
Most rip-off victims fell for apparent tips repeatedly, and regardless of numerous warnings from newspapers, information broadcasts, and banks, they misplaced every part they’ve labored their complete lives to build up.
Why did they fall for such apparent schemes?
The reply is easy; greed.
When the prospect of a straightforward achieve dangles earlier than us, we lose our rationality and turn out to be entranced.
We neglect that there’s a scammer behind it, casting an attractive lure to catch the grasping.
Right here within the Second Trial;
I’ll turn out to be essentially the most mysterious and enigmatic mage on this planet.
Till the witch goes mad with greed for the secrets and techniques I /genesisforsaken
