Part 2 Chapter 118: The Last Child of Destruction. / 842
TL: Hanguk
“Then let’s begin the test.”
Sejun rested both his elbows on the desk, clasped his hands together, and placed his chin on the back of his hands as he spoke in a bored voice.
His magic power is way too low.
While other lower-tier wizards also had relatively low magic power, ranging from about 5,000 to 30,000, Ute's magic power was around 100. It was too low, so low that honestly, there was no expectation.
So,
I just want to go home now.
He only wanted to finish the test quickly and go home.
Meanwhile,
“Puhuhut. First, try grilling this fish deliciously, meow!”
Theo stepped forward first to start the test, holding out a stamp in his opposite hand while handing over the fish.
However,
“Yes. Fire.”
Ute not only didn’t burn the fish,
“Meow?! That’s a decent grill job, meow!”
He grilled it well.
“Puhuhut. Passed, meow! While he’s still far from Great Hybrid Chairman Park in grilling fish, he’s at least good enough to be the teacher of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”
No one knew what grilling skills had to do with becoming Sejun’s teacher, but Ute passed Theo’s test.
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. You may have passed Big Brother’s test easily, but Cuengi’s test will be harder! Try opening this honey jar using telekinesis!]
“Hohoho. Telekinesis.”
Click.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Passed! You qualify to be Dad’s teacher!]
(Pip-pip. My test is really hard! Try making a vibration with wind magic!)
“Like this↗↗Oh↘Oh↗Oh↘↘↗?”
(Pip-pip. Excellent.)
Then, he easily passed both Cuengi and Paespaes’s tests.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. The test of Great Blackie isn’t easy! Turn this sweet potato into roasted and dried sweet potato!]
“Fire.”
When Ute grilled the sweet potato,
“Hehe. I’ll give you a pass, since it’s warm.”
Taecho, who had a cold, crouched next to Ute to warm up by the fire.
And then,
"This takes too long, so let us count it as passed and now please solve my problem."
The final boss, Sejun, stepped forward.
Kking! Kking?! Kking!
[Huh? No way! Says who?! The roasted and dried sweet potato for Great Blackie isn’t done yet! Keep making roasted and dried sweet potato!]
Blackie, who was waiting for the roasted and dried sweet potato to be finished, strongly objected.
“I’ll give you this, so be quiet.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Okay!]
Chomp. Chomp. Chomp.
He immediately went quiet with just one roasted and dried sweet potato that Sejun gave him.
“Please make this dough sticky using Magic Missile.”
“Yes.”
Ute received the dough from Sejun.
Whish.
He tossed the dough into the air and
“Magic Missile.”
...?!
He started hitting the floating dough with Magic Missiles.
Puh-puh-puh-puh.
Using a single Magic Missile, he struck the dough from all directions, and his magic control was so precise that the dough stayed in the same spot the whole time.
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. His magic control is better than mine. Why has someone like this only been able to learn beginner magic?
Watching Ute, Iona became curious.
Magic Scan.
She scanned Ute’s magic power and
“Kyoot?”
There is a crack in his magic heart?!
She discovered a problem in Ute’s magic heart.
Due to the issue with his magic heart, Ute was unable to accumulate magic power and, as a result, could only learn beginner-level magic.
However, that became a blessing in disguise.
For 1,000 years, he worked hard to use beginner magic as best as possible with little magic power, and as a result, his ability to control magic had reached its peak.
So cool!
Sejun was moved by Ute’s magic.
If I did that while cooking, wouldn’t I look cool too?
Imagining himself hand-pulling noodles with Magic Missile, Sejun grinned foolishly.
"Pass."
Impressed by Ute’s skill, Sejun decided to take Ute as his teacher.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Welcome, Master Ute, meow! Congratulations on becoming the great hybrid Chairman Park's magic teacher, meow! If you become our Chairman Park’s teacher, we’ll even get you married...”
Theo congratulated Ute and explained the benefits of becoming Sejun’s teacher.
“Huh? Me, a magic teacher? But Iona-nim is here....”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. No. What Sejun-nim needs isn’t high-level magic, but magic control skills. And in terms of magic control, Ute-nim is more skilled than I am. Ute-nim, please teach Sejun-nim how to control magic easily.”
“Hohoho. Then I shall give it a try.”
“Puhuhut. A wise decision, meow! First, stamp here, meow!”
Theo held out a contract to Ute. The basic terms were similar to a slave contract, but since he was Sejun’s teacher, the salary was high and there were various benefits.
Stamp.
Ute, who was ignorant of worldly affairs, stamped the contract and
“Puhuhut. Take this, meow! With this, no one will be able to touch Master Ute, meow!”
[Sejun Company's Vice Chairman Theo's Blue Praise Badge]
Theo pinned the badge onto Ute’s chest.
And thus, following swordsmanship teacher Master Bo, Sejun gained Master Ute as his magic teacher.
“Sejun-nim, gather your magic power at the tip of your finger.”
He began learning Ute’s magic control technique.
“Like this?”
A magic orb the size of a tennis ball formed at Sejun’s fingertip.
“That’s right. Now, try creating a fine thread of magic from the gathered magic. Like this. It helps to think of making a tiny hole in the magic and pushing it out through there.”
Ute created a pea-sized orb of magic and began pulling out a thin thread of magic from it.
“Eek.”
Sejun mimicked Ute. A thread of magic the thickness of a rice cake stick appeared.
“Hohoho. If you keep practicing, you’ll be able to make it thinner. Keep practicing, and I’ll see you next week. If you have questions, feel free to come find me anytime.”
“Okay.”
While practicing what Ute had taught, Sejun returned to Earth.
And then,
“Iona-nim gave instructions for a personnel change before she left.”
"Personnel changes?"
“Yes. She said Ute-nim is to be appointed as an honorary advisor to the Wizard’s Association.”
“Huh? Who?!”
The Wizard’s Association, which Sejun and his group had left, was thrown into chaos at the shocking announcement.
***
Kindergarten of Destruction on Earth.
“Oh. Did it get about 1mm thinner?”
Sejun was practicing the magic control he learned from Ute.
“Puhuhut. No, meow! It’s exactly the same as yesterday, meow!”
Theo delivered the hard truth, crushing Sejun’s hope without mercy.
“Vice Chairman Theo, are your eyes that accurate?! Huh?! It could’ve gotten about 0.1 nanometers thinner, you know?!”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, don’t be stubborn, meow! My keen eyes are extremely precise, meow!”
“Yeah, you think you’re so great!”
“Puhuhut. I know, meow!”
“Ugh! All talk, that mouth of yours!”
While Sejun was fuming over losing the argument with Theo.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi is all ready for work!]
Cuengi, with his snack pouch packed full, came over to Sejun. Today was the day Cuengi was returning to work at the Cuengi Cafe after a long break.
And then.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie is ready for work too!]
“Heehee. Daddy, Taecho is ready for work too!”
Blackie and Taecho also ran up to Sejun with their bulging backpacks.
“Alright. Shall we head to work?”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
“Aileen, I’ll be back later.”
“Okay. Have a good day.”
“Teecher-nim, byebye!”
“Alright.”
Sejun, seeing off by Aileen and the Children of Destruction, flew with the group toward the Cuengi Cafe.
"Wow. There are a lot of people."
Because Cuengi’s return to work was announced on Stargram yesterday, there were about ten times more customers than usual, but additional part-timers had been hired, so there wasn’t a manpower shortage.
Instead, there were a few other issues.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. You guys! Become subordinates of Great Blackie!]
Woof!
[Sir!]
Bark!
[Sir!]
Yap!
[Sir!]
Because Blackie turned all the customers’ dogs into his subordinates and marched them around in a group, there was an incident where the owners were scrambling to find their dogs.
“Heehee! You guys! Become subordinates of Taecho!”
Taecho, copying Blackie and playing leader, ended up
“Kyungsik, let’s go home!”
“Minsu, it’s time to leave!”
"Waah. Dad, they took Taecho's subordinates!"
...crying sadly after the children who were playing with her went home and she was left alone.
Compared to the scale of the Sejun Family, these were really minor incidents.
While Cuengi was diligently brewing coffee,
“Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, how is it? I think it really got thinner this time.”
Sejun, sitting at a table and drinking the coffee Cuengi made, continued training in magic control.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, congratulations, meow! Just a little, but it’s definitely thinner, meow!”
“Hehehe. My hard work is paying off.”
Sejun felt good at Theo’s acknowledgment.
“Ah. By the way, how’s the job quest going?”
[Job Quest: Rebuild 10,000 Worlds on the Brink of Destruction.]
1324/10,000
"Oh. It has increased a lot."
Auto-hunting is the best, after all.
Wearing a satisfied smile, Sejun redoubled his efforts in magic control training, but
Kuehehehe. Kueng! Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, the shop’s closed for the day! Time to clock out!]
Until the end of the cafe’s business hours, there were no further results.
“I practiced for hours, and there’s no progress.”
“Puhuhut. It’s okay, meow! With Chairman Park’s talent in magic, that’s expected, meow! Don’t be greedy, meow! Or you’ll tear yourself apart, meow!”
Theo earnestly tried to console Sejun, but
“Could you just be quiet?”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
He wasn’t much help.
"Let us go get some Land Deeds tomorrow."
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
With that, Sejun finished the day and went home with his group.
The next morning.
“Hmhmhm. A lot have grown.”
[You have harvested Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.]
[Your job Experience have greatly increased.]
...
..
.
Sejun, who woke up early, harvested peas on the 10th floor of the 10th tower with his group.
Thanks to the pea sprouts having absorbed Flamie’s nutrient solution all night, he was able to harvest about 200 peas again today.
A moment later.
When the harvest was finished.
“Two per day.”
Gulp.
Sejun put two freshly harvested peas into his mouth.
[You have consumed 2 Divine Elixir: Pea of Great Magic Power.]
[Magic power potential increased by 2,200.]
[Magic power increased by 2,000.]
...
..
.
Messages appeared.
“Do you guys want some too?”
When Sejun offered peas to his companions.
"I do not want any, meow!"
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi is strong without eating that! Dad should eat them!]
Kking! Kking!
[No! Butler should eat them!]
“Heehee. Those are for Dad!"
They all refused. It seemed like they were yielding to Sejun, but judging by their scrunched-up expressions, it was clearly because it tasted bad.
“Time to go cook.”
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, please grill some fish, meow!”
“Alright.”
As Sejun was about to return to Earth.
[A quest has occurred.]
[Quest: Please find the [Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who was left behind in <Urman> and bring them to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]
Reward: <Earth Lv. 7> Evolution EXP 2%
“If I bring this one back, does that mean I’ve found all the stranded ones?"
At last, the quest to find the final Child of Destruction appeared before Sejun.
"Let us eat and then go right away."
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Sejun planned to eat calmly and then head out, but
[Sejun-nim, you must hurry!]
[Remnants of Destruction sensing the final Child of Destruction’s energy are gathering in <Urman>!]
They did not give him time for that.
“Can’t they at least let us eat first?!”
“Vice Chairman Theo is angry, meow!”
Kueng!
[Pip-pip! I’m angry too!]
Kking!
"Taecho is furious!"
“Guys, let’s go and get this over with quickly! Paespaes, dimensional gate!”
[Pip-pip! Okay!]
Sejun and his companions were furious as they hurriedly moved to <Urman>.
