“More than rumors.”
The alcove where Lennok left.
Hina watches over the disposal team removing the corpse.
A young man with a gloomy expression appeared behind her and murmured.
He is quite tall and his head seems to touch the ceiling.
“I heard that he was bold and intelligent, but I didn’t know that he would be so sure even in his hands.”
“………”
“At the end, that was probably a warning to you, Hina.”
Desert
“I know.”
Hina replied with a displeased expression, and kept her mouth shut.
“Isn’t it interesting?”
The young man grinned and continued.
“The fact that a person like him has been buried in the dark, and that he has started to make a name for himself in such a chaotic time.”
“……Do you think there must be a special reason?”
“I don’t want to make a plausible excuse. However, it wouldn’t be strange if there were circumstances that matched that ability.”
Eyes glow in the dark.
“Aren’t you curious what the matter is?”
“………”
Although she had only worked with Lennox once, Hina was acutely aware of how different a wizard Van was.
A freelancer who stands out with her pure skills even in this city overflowing with all kinds of eccentrics and superhumans.
A mage who does not belong to a specific organization or group, and prefers to work alone.
It may be said to be inefficient, but it is undeniable that it has contributed to making the name Ban more widely known as a result.
Right now, when agents investigate Lennok, the first thing they learn is about such eccentricity and the overwhelming performance that suppresses such eccentricity.
However, the young man insisted on digging deeper than what was visible on the outside.
About the secret that the talented wizard has.
Hina understood the meaning of the young man’s words and slightly frowned.
“You need an accomplice.”
“To be precise, I need someone to make excuses for me even after being caught by the team leader.”
The young man laughed and said.
“You know that the team leader likes that person.”
“…So?”
“It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling. It’s been more than three months since Haliban, who was at least a wizard worthy of being on the scene, was torn apart from his limbs. From the team leader’s point of view, he must be desperate for the power of magicians who can go on an operation.”
“………”
“But wouldn’t it be necessary to make sure that we have the qualifications and character to join us?”
To that blatant question, Hina frowned instead of answering.
If I really didn’t like her, I wouldn’t have cut her off and left no room for her.
She also felt a strong attraction to that ability, independent of her class’s personality and behavior.
Realizing that fact, the young man let out a low laugh and disappeared beyond the shadows.
Hina stared at the empty seat, then grabbed her clothes and left the room.
