While they were talking to each other.

Hajoon was also immersed in the aftermath.

"It's over..."

Hajoon's gaze turned to the quest window that appeared before him.

A long time ago, a life-threatening red quest he received due to his hasty mistake.

[Main Quest]

Quest Eligible Character: Kim Hajoon (Liber Laphilton Phil Ehrman)

Description: Safely graduate from Rokia Academy with your allies.

● Han Siyoung (Completed)

● Anna Elizabeth Hartel (Completed)

● Haruna Ruel (Completed)

● Liam Martel (Completed)

The status of the playable character's episodes had all changed to completed.

In other words, Hajoon had seen the endings of all the children in just one year.

"It's really over..."

Hajoon's eyes wandered into the void.

It was a novel feeling.

Of course, he had completed all the episodes, but the final graduation from the academy was still pending.

However, the graduation from the academy itself was a problem that time would solve.

It was practically no different from completing the quest.

"Hey."

At that moment, after finishing their conversation, the two approached Hajoon.

The Sword King opened his mouth towards Hajoon with a kind smile.

"Thank you for your help."

"It was a promise I made before."

"Yes... that's right."

He looked at Hajoon with a smile for a moment.

The Sword King, having many thoughts while looking at Hajoon before him, then spoke to both Han Siyoung and Hajoon.

"So... I guess I can rest now too."

His expression seemed somehow liberated and refreshed.

"I'll be going now."

"...Where to?"

Hajoon asked.

There was no reason for him to leave Han Siyoung's side now.

With a grin, the Sword King spoke in a light tone.

"I'm thinking of going on a journey. With an old friend."

"With the great hero Helen?"

"Yes. I disappeared without contacting her, after all."

After a brief silence, he paused to look at Hajoon before leaving and continued.

"Hajoon, you will become the greatest hero among those I have seen."

"I have no plans to become a hero."

"...What?"

"?!"

At his words, both Han Siyoung and the Sword King's eyes widened.

They were at a loss for words at the sudden bombshell statement.

"Then, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

The Sword King asked with a puzzled face.

After pondering for a moment, Hajoon looked at the Sword King and replied.

"Maybe I'll go on a world trip like you, Sword King?"

"Ha, really... you are so optimistic and carefree. Well... yeah."

Hearing that, the Sword King looked at Hajoon and grinned.

"That wouldn't be too bad."

Thinking of the young boy's achievements, it seemed possible.

After all, this child deserved a rest after all his hardships.

Hajoon examined the photo handed to him by Kim Jeongyong.

Something with a massive shape, seemingly taken from the air above.

Something made entirely of stone, reminiscent of a golem.

Its entire body was humanoid but gigantic, and made of brown rock.

However, this creature, with its eyes closed, was tightly bound by blue chains made of magical power.

"During the capture of this magical beast, 50 mid-level mages and 32 high-level mages of the Mage Tower died. I don't know the details of the capture process, but currently, the beast is sealed in the basement of the Mage Tower for investigation."

Hearing this, Hajoon furrowed his brows and examined the photo.

He still couldn't believe what President Kim Jeongyong was saying.

At that moment, Philaten, who had been examining the photo with Hajoon, spoke up.

[This is?!]

Her voice was trembling with shock.

Hajoon asked Philaten, thinking it might be.

'Is that him?'

[It is Gigantmakia, the king of giants.]

She could not hide her astonishment after seeing the photo.

However, she also knew it was impossible, wondering how it could have happened.

[He would not be so easily captured by humans. Among the kings, he is the most dangerous.]

The king of giants.

Philaten had mentioned him as the only entity equal to Horton.

"This one is currently in the Mage Tower?"

"Yes, and regarding that, there's something I need to convey. The Mage Tower in America has invited Student Hajoon. They said they need the help of Student Hajoon, who defeated a magical beast alone."

At that, Hajoon nodded.

Well, in a way, it was fortunate.

Hajoon wanted to see what had happened, and since they were inviting him, there was no reason to refuse.

"When?"

"You can go right now if you're ready. If you plan to move immediately, I'll open the gate for you."

At that, Hajoon nodded.

Upon seeing this, Kim Jeongyong immediately contacted the Mage Tower and the American Hero Association, then looked at Hajoon and continued speaking.

"Let's go, the gate is open. The American Hero Association will guide you from there."

Raei Translations

In New York City, USA, there existed a building that soared even higher than the Empire State Building, known as a skyscraper.

This was the Mage Tower, where the history and lineage of magic survived.

Heading towards this towering Mage Tower were Hajoon, Andre Heut, the president of the American Hero Association, and Emma, an agent of the association, driving in a car.

"As is well known, it's impossible to travel to the Mage Tower via gate, so we have to drive there," President Andre said, looking at Hajoon.

He spoke in a calm tone, showing respect for Hajoon.

"The entire Mage Tower is surrounded by protective magic, blocking external magical forces. Once a year, they remove the protective barrier to absorb the magical energy floating in the air, replenishing the energy for the constantly active protective magic."

During the drive, Hajoon looked at the gigantic tower visible in the distance.

The tower, taller than the Empire State Building, was a structure made entirely of magic.

Additionally, anyone other than the mages of the Mage Tower would be expelled immediately if they caused any magic to happen inside the tower.

To be precise, a type of gate magic that instantly transports them outside the Mage Tower is activated.

Anyway, the use of magic inside the Mage Tower was prohibited for anyone except its affiliated mages.

"That magical beast is currently in the basement of the Mage Tower, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

"Do you know, President, how they captured that magical beast alive?"

It was truly astonishing.

It seemed impossible to kill, let alone capture it alive, and Hajoon still couldn't believe it.

And to such a question, Andre also showed a puzzled expression similar to Hajoon's.

"I haven't received precise information myself. It seems the Mage Tower is treating it as classified, so I haven't heard the explanation of the capture process. Of course, after entering the Mage Tower, Halz Matildon, the current president of the Mage Tower, said she would explain."

It seems the details are treated as classified within the Mage Tower, but they plan to share the information with Hajoon and President Andre.

More surprisingly,

"I didn't expect the Mage Tower to invite me."

At the ISU conference, Halz Matildon, the owner of the Mage Tower they were heading to, had deemed his presence dangerous and opposed his entry.

Her inviting him to the Mage Tower was unexpected.

Upon Hajoon's response, Andre spoke with a grave expression.

"I don't know the reason, but it must mean that the Mage Tower is desperate."
