Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

‘What the hell are these……?’

Hundreds of reporters were encircling the al apartment in Sinsa-dong, blazing hard.

I was in the Rolls-Royce and barely got out of the car, neither moving forward nor reversing.

“What is this all of a sudden?”

Click, click.

“Lee Joon-hyuk, are you right?”

“Yes, by the way.”

“Did you know that you got a perfect score in this SAT?”

“Yes, I knew because the Ministry of Education called in advance.”

I quietly answered the reporters' questions one by one. The sudden repetition of questions was partly chewed.

“Ask only one question per person. I'm tired too, so I have to go home early.”

“Oh, yes. Mr. Lee Joon-hyuk! What was the secret to getting a perfect score this time? It was almost like a thesis level, so the grade 1 cut-off level went down a lot.”

As the reporter said, this time the CSAT was not just a 'impossible aptitude test', it was a 'environmental grade impossible CSAT'.

As if to properly show the difficulty of hell, the SAT Examination Committee presented a lot of questions that had not been shown in the mock exams in the past, causing the students to panic.

Fortunately, it didn't matter to me because I studied knowledge in all areas of the world, not just textbooks and test papers.

“I just worked hard on my own. Oh, I also did tutoring.”

I was going to say that I did it on my own, but I added that because I was afraid that Ari would be disappointed with the interview later.

“You mean something like tweezers tutoring?”

“Well, that’s it.”

“It seems that the tutor taught me very well. It's perfect..."

“Yes, he is a very smart and competent teacher.”

“Are you a woman or a man?”

“···········“.

Why is that story all of a sudden?

“Are you a woman?”

"Yes. But does it matter?”

“Yes, it is important.”

The young reporter exclaimed with a stricken face. Anyway, he pushed the reporter away, and other reporters rushed in and continued the offensive with questions.

“Lee Jun-hyeok, does that mean you can’t prepare for the entrance exam by studying at school?”

A man with flat eyes without double eyelids, with short hair like a woman, pointed a microphone at me and asked a guiding question.

It was as if I wanted to hear from my mouth, ‘If you don’t attend expensive Daechi-dong academy or tweezers tutoring, you will not be able to prepare for the entrance exam’.

I turn to such a reporter.

“Absolutely not.”

He firmly corrected the misunderstanding.

In fact, even for me, I almost got a perfect score by studying on my own. But what kind of tweezers do you need tutoring and Daechi-dong Academy?

‘Honestly, studying for the SAT is enough for me to study hard on my own.’

Or, to add to that, he could go to the top-ranked university he wanted even if he kept running the mock test.However, this time, a variable was created because of me, and the items that were solved before the entrance exam will soon lose their effectiveness.

Since I put a time-out, from next year onwards, I will play according to my skill, not the phenomenon of baldness.

So, I couldn't agree with that reporter.

The reporter wiggled his eyebrows at my answer and rebutted it again.

“Didn’t I just say that you did tweezers tutoring? But do you mean something else?”

“I just did it. My tutor told me that I was just studying life rather than studying for the SAT. Are you okay?”

“···········“.

“I know what you want to hear, I’m sorry, but it’s not like that.”

“What… what…….”

“I’m a person who can get a perfect score even if I do it alone.”

“What nonsense…….”

“So, don’t try to draw attention with an aggressive title, and write a proper article. This is a giraffe.”

puck!

"Ahh!"

I cast the grease magic to reduce the friction coefficient of the ground to zero, slipped all the reporters, and went inside the apartment.

“Don’t bother people, turn them all off!”

“Ahhhh!”

Hairy, hairy!

After my lion, the reporters covered their ears with both hands, threw away the camera, and ran away.

Iron Duck!

“Ugh-!”

One of the dogs, the giraffe who threw a guided question at me, kept falling while escaping, smashing his jawbone on the floor, breaking it, and smashing three or four teeth.

After that, I applied the Memory delete magic, which is a memory deletion magic, to delete and manipulate today's reporters' schedule memories entirely.

next day.

As soon as I went to work at Daedong Group, I gave my secretary special instructions.

“Jiyeon, please make a writer’s office in the director’s office.”

“A writer’s office? Why all of a sudden?”

Lee Ji-yeon brought her payment documents, opened her eyes, and asked again.

“My friend is a web novel writer. So I decided to actively support them.”

“Ahh~!”

As if it was fun, Lee Ji-yeon covered her mouth and smiled, and she replied bravely.

“Then I will buy a new desk and make the study a big one.”

"Do by that way. After all, there is a lot of free space in the office room. At this point, if Jiyeon wants to decorate something, you can decorate it.”

“When the manager is tired, shall I buy some barista supplies so that I can ride the car properly?”

“Well then. My friend will also enjoy the tea that Jiyeon makes.”

“Ho ho ho, I hope so.”

After instructing Lee Ji-yeon to do that, a week later, everything was ready.

In the meantime, I went to the newly acquired Vantech company, thought about how to succeed in the smartphone business and semiconductor business, and then returned to the company.

“Jiyeon, I’m ready.”

“Old story!”

I picked up my smartphone and called Chan-gyu.

“Hey, Chan-gyu. Did you say that Matop Group is running a business that supports cultural artists? You were chosen there.”

-really? It's really great...!

Through the receiver, Chang-gyu's running around and his excited voice were vividly delivered.

‘Boy, is it that good? Oh right.'

As I recalled the sudden flash of thought, I smiled sly.

“But how was your last blind date?”

“So… blind date…?”

"okay. You said that Ari introduces you to a woman. Joo Ah-young.”

"Ah. met I met you..."

He was wagging his tail, so I asked because I was worried.

"Why? Isn't it okay?"

"Ah... no, it's not like that..."

I forgot one important fact while talking to Chan-gyu. That this guy is also my classmate, a 33-year-old virgin archmage.

In 33 years, a virgin archmage who has never held a woman's hand other than her mother. So, I couldn't stand a quick-witted fox like Joo Ah-young.

He said that if we do something like a date, Joo Ah-young will lead. Well, that's not bad either, but he said he was worried that Ah-young might dislike himself, who is a mugwort.

“Hey, don’t be bullshit. A man is handsome when he is handsome.”

-That... is it...?

“Of course not, man. Whose face did you ask for at the plastic surgeon back then?”

-So... Song Joong-ki...

“Hey, I didn’t see you like that, but you’re very greedy.”

-···I'm sorry.

“No, there’s nothing to be sorry about, and if you’re going to do it, it’s better to be the most handsome guy from the start. It’s complicated if you ask me to refresh it again later.”

“That… is that right?”

“Heh heh. I hope mate.”

I haven't had plastic surgery yet.

In fact, I like the way I am now, so I just live like this. If I wanted to change to a celebrity level, I could do anything, but I had no intention of doing that.

‘Does Ari want me to turn into such a handsome man?’

I think I'm fine now, but I don't know about Ari.

Anyway, I didn't know much about women, but I was a little better than Chan-gyu, so I worked hard as a dating coach.

“Dude, men are confident. Confidence. And when you have a face and a body, why are you desperate?”

-Well. I do not know.

“No matter what jokes you make with Song Joong-ki’s face, all the girls laugh. There's no way I'd get a reaction like that that would have gotten colder if I joked with your face in the past."

-······· I still have wit.

"okay. Just throw it with confidence. That’s why women like it.”

“···········“.

She involuntarily turned her head to look at Lee Ji-yeon, and she was looking at me with an absurd expression.I had no choice but to toss the receiver to Lee Ji-yeon.

“Did you say Mr. Chan-gyu?”

-Yes.

“My name is Lee Ji-yeon, a secretary who assists Director Lee Jun-hyeok.”

- Oh yes, nice to meet you.

“It’s no different….”

After Lee Ji-yeon fixed her weird coaching I gave her, she carefully coached me on what women like.

“It’s about clothes…….”

-Yes.

Chan-gyu listened intently to the romance lecture with a rather calm voice, like a quiet student attending a school class.

“And, as the head of the department said, we created an office for artists in our Matop group as an artist support project.”

-Oh, I see······.

“So, how would it be if Chan-gyu came here to work as well? He is planning to provide 10 million won per month as an artist support policy.”

- I'll run right away.

Chan-gyu said he would hit the chicken delivery and find him right away, even today.

“The employees are not allowed to leave work tonight, you can go to work after 9 am tomorrow. And I will send the drivers to your house, so you can send the necessary books and luggage to the driver.”

- Oh, thank you very much.

“What am I? All of this is promoted by the head of the department, so I am just assisting from the side.”

-i See. After all, Junhyuk is my friend, but I think he's a really great guy.

“Ho-ho, there aren’t many people who can call Jun-hyeok a guy, right?

- Oh, I guess. Then what should I call it?

“No, feel free to call me. No matter what the two of you call me, I... Anyway, please come to work from tomorrow. We have all the highest-end computers and various office equipment so you can start working right away.”

-all right. I will definitely go.

drop.

When the phone hung up, Lee Ji-yeon held out the receiver to me.

“Where is the law with a dating coach like that? Does a woman have a child in a week?”

“…it’s been over a week.”

“Anyway, the way Junhyeok coached me was really the worst coach for women.”

"···is that so?"

"sure. She's Ari's older sister, so she has to endure everything. If she's like other women, uh huh..."

Lee Ji-yeon seemed to be very angry, and put her arms around her and added.

“And what, men are confident? Women get so annoyed when men show such baseless confidence, right?”

“I will refer to it.”

I was able to return to her seat only after eating her Kusari from Lee Ji-yeon for the first time.

‘I think Chan-gyu will be working in my office. Relationships are really strange.’

I drank her sweet green tea latte that Lee Ji-yeon brewed, and accessed her web novel site, Dal-dongne.

'Because it is certain that the site has a high potential for development in the future...'

I'm currently pursuing projects that are the foundation of society, such as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors. If I expand that field to culture and art, wouldn't Korea's status rise further?

Even now, in the pharmaceutical sector, it seemed that no country could follow Korea. And if it conquered the semiconductor and smartphone markets, Korea no longer had to look at other countries.
