True Wealth

“Levitation!”

Shwaa!

With my incantation, I felt thespeed

Riiiise!

“Ohh, OHHHHHHHH! I’!”

At the sa my body

Magic was truly so me surprises

I posed with ht, as if I had become a baby Superman

“Huhuhu If I were to becoe like Master, even world domination would be no problem”

The uses for e 21st century, there was no end to the things that could be done with ic to hide yourself from people, and you’d even be able to peep on the women’s baths, a land that would forever capture your curiosity

If you installed a safe Warp ic circle, you would be able to travel the world as much as you wanted, whenever you wanted Not only that, the various attack and defense spells could make you invincible

Furthere to develop newin a fortune would be as easy as pie

“If I keep going straight like this, I should be able to reach the 4th Circle, or even the 5th Circle, in four years”

The newit, the internal chi channeling that coic with the related paths ood would it be to becoe? My youth would be gone, and the beautiful girlfriends I would have been ould be reduced to bones and skin, and on the verge of returning to the ground

‘Let’s learn it in one go! I’ll grow at a high speed that no one has achieved in the history of ic!’

There were three distinct mana circles that I could feel in my chest I could feel that thecircles while co with each other

‘3rd Circle ic is ic, there’s no er’

Magic theories hizzing through ic instantly without a forher than the spell So siic didn’t ic without any protection, it was faster and more effective to just use my fist

‘The 4th Circle! My next goal is the 4th Circle!’

Master had said, ‘once a Mage, always a Mage’

I had also soe

‘I’ll learn Flight , and… huhuhu…’

There was one lewd thought that fired up ic

And later, I planned on passing it down to108 spells that were very useful in real life, of course

“Is this information accurate?”

“Yes, Master The Magician co has been in Incheon International Airport for an extended tih schooler na Hyuk”

“A high schooler, you say… he’s definitely that old man’s disciple That old ive away his plane, otherwise”

Aon a chair er hide and the ten odd rifles hung on the walls as decorative pieces were a testa

“Send so Hyuk”

“Yes, Master!”

A ht eye to his mouth bowed

The man in front, the one called master, had horrible scars over his forehead and was one of the three heads of the Triad In Hong Kong, China, and the East, the sound of his name alone made people tremble

His na Li

He was one of the legendary killing machines in the Triad who had risen to his current position by his fists alone

‘You oldto you, but I’ll trarow up Arggh!’

Twenty or so years ago, he had gone into the Czech Republic for a contracted assassination and happened to becoht of the oldcastles in the air, but after seeing the terrifying e’s disciple However, unable to overcome the wall of the 3rd Circle, even after several years of training So Chang Li decided to kill the Mage and take his fortune

There was an enoric tower As well as an astronomical amount of money hidden away in every nation in the world Even if he just robbed the anization with laughable ease That’s why he planned onthe old man, but he failed

An 8th Circle Arche

The upper circle reater than he’d ever thought Expecting that Chang Li would betray hiic traps all over the place And Chang Li had been forced to bash his head into the ground in order to survive

‘Kang Hyuk… I sincerely hope you have the skills to survive me Kukuku’

Through the tenacious constitution he had been born with, and bloody training, Chang Li had trained 3rd Circle ic to its very limits

Magic had gotten hith

“Hyuk, what should I do, I think rades will fall this time”

“A man shouldn’t cry just because his test scores fell a little!”

‘Kukuku! Our midterms have finally ended’

Even for an Arche, midterms were an unavoidable part of Korea’s education curriculum

Joong Hyun was shaking as he held his last test paper, as if he had bombed his test

‘There’s really no way for me to not love Master Kukuku’

I had grown sic Truly, I had beco in a book I read once, while concentrating

And then, I took the tests

There wasn’t a single problem I couldn’t answer

‘Now that I think about it, didn’t Master say he also raised Einstein? Since he was said to have used about 20 of his brain… oohh! Then have I also co brain?’

Like peeling an onion, I was discovering the i, I felt like I could even win a nobel Prize

“Hoho, good work, everyone But since the end of midterms doesn’t mean that your life’s exa There’s nothing to lose by studying, after all Hohohoho!”

Ms wang, the Dreaded Snow White who deflated everyone’s spirits every ti on without even knowing the feelings of the kids who had been liberated from exams

“Teacher,over all my friends who finished their exams”

“Oh, really? You’re saying Chairht?”

“Yes He said he would invite everyone to our Ohsung Hotel”

‘Just look at him’

I had warned hi-taek yapped through his snout with a proud look

“The Ohsung Hotel is good I was there not long ago too, and the food is really flawless and tasty”

The Ohsung Group was second to none in the Republic of Korea As the direct grandson of that Ohsung Group’s chairroup like it was his

“A bus has been prepared outside We can go now”

“Hoho, sounds good Everyone, your friend’s grandfather invited us, so we all have to go, right? Let’s play as much as ant, today”

Though she had been pressuring us to study because ‘the end of midtero, Ms wang’s lips stretched ear to ear at the mere mention of an invitation to the hotel, as she roused the kids

“Wow! I heard the Ohsung Hotel buffet is tasty; we get to stuff ourselves today!”

“Hoho! It’s good to have a well-off friend after all”

Along with the Daehan Group, the Ohsung Group was one of the big conglo and looking forward to it

“Well, if you’re busy and don’t want to go, then you don’t need to force yourself to go I’et lost from the hotel”

Laughing coldly as he spoke, Hwang Sung-taek looked at me

‘That, that brat! Arrrggh!’

I had planned on giving hi even if he hadn’t said that, but now this Hwang Sung-taek was really testing the limits of my patience

‘Fine, I’ll go once To see hoell-off you really are’

I had never been to the Ohsung Hotel before in round my teeth

Mask the dagger in thy heart A blade was hidden ithin in my smile

“Isn’t this nice~?”

“As expected of the Ohsung Hotel!”

Wearing our school unifor Hotel’s buffet The mellow sound of a 10-person chamber ensemble filled the air, around what seemed to be over a hundred different kinds of top-class dishes The dishes were cla to be put into our impoverished stomachs

‘This is pretty good, isn’t it? My house is nearby and I won’t have to worry about my meals, too’

A ridiculous thought occurred toHotel’s buffet

“Miss Manager”

“Yes, is there so?”

I called the fe around while stiff with tension because the chairman’s heir and his friends had come

“How much is this?”

Theread ‘Lee Yun-shi+l,’ followed er to the buffet “At dinner tih School students, and even their iet a 50 discount by the chairman’s special orders”

As befitting an eer put on a business smile and kindly explained

“No, not that— how much is this hotel?”

“What? The, the hotel?” My nonchalant query about the hotel’s price briefly confused the er Lee Yun-shi+l “Our hotel is an unlisted company, so I do not know the exact price But since it’s 50 per unlisted share… I can say that about 12 million would be sufficient”

Perhaps thinking that it was just a student’s thoughtless reer Lee Yun-shi+l emphasized the 12 million part

“What is your dream, miss?”

“What? My drea atShe was probably thinking that I was asking all sorts of questions even though I wasn’t a matchmaker or life counselor “Of course, it’s to be a Hotel Adest dream a hotelier can have For that drea my best”

‘Oh! This lady is pretty cool’

It was said that those who dream are beautiful The pretty lady in her late twenties said that she wanted to beco eyes

“Then you’ll get soood news soon”

“What? Good news?” asked Manager Lee Yun-shi+l, failing to understand what I meant

“I need a better place to eat, you see So I was thinking about buying this hotel,” I whispered quietly in her ear, as if telling a secret

“…”

But she was completely silent for a moment

“If you really do take over the hotel, please leave the administration to me I will make it the top hotel in all of Korea, no, the entire world”

Manager Lee Yun-shi+l ained her corin She was such a char woman that I would want to introduce her to an older bro, if I had one

Munch munch

I dipped ed in

‘The taste is phenomenal’

Even though our school meals were considered the best in the nation, they couldn’tbeen unable to eat a proper one, I was busy stuffing my face as I went around the buffet booths, theed by country— Korea, japan, China, as well as cuisine from every continent

‘The seasoning is just right, and the ingredients are fresh, too Kyaa! Since the food was also made skillfully by the chefs, it’s seriously the embodiment of perfection’

Cooked to match the special characteristics of each dish, the full-course ue

“You were hungry, weren’t you, Hyuk?”

“Hm? Not really It’s just that I’ up for him But Ye-rin”

“Yeah?”

I called Ye-rin, as only nibbling on a few kinds of salad even in the face of global delicacies “My ot to eat heartily to be able to puet married, y’know?”

“Pu”

I orrying about our future, and at estive words, Seo Ye-rin made a unique ‘pfft’ sound and blushed

‘Gosh, just looking at her makes me full’

“You, you two are acting weird?”

Whether it was coincidence or inevitable, Joong Hyun and I sat together— ere as inseparable as elastic bands in panties, after all But Ye-rin sat next to us without reserve,his face with food, look at Ye-rin and me with suspicious eyes

‘The rascal, he’sHyun’s unexpected senses

“You sure are eating as well as pigs”

While Joong Hyun, Ye-rin, and I were happily eating our meal, we heard a voice in which all respect had seriously been thrown into a ditch

“Since you were begging like a loser in Europe, I suppose you’re hungry”

“Kuku! Pig out, you Korean retard”

‘Would you look at these kids?’

The three young brats were ignoring the saying that you shouldn’tThey had appeared out of nowhere and were ignorantly pissingsh he was just a lump of three hundred thousand years of bad luck

‘Should I give him a taste of hell today?’ I briefly fell into contemplation

“Kang Hyuk, eat lots When else will brats froet to coh I can feed you every day if you please ht, Seo Ye-rin?”

[T/N: I just realized it, but Hwang Sung-taek’s nickname, Crown Prince, is a play off of his last na tae ja’]

The barbs went from me to Ye-rin

“Hmph”

But the proud lily wasn’t meant to answer a weed Ye-rin made a ‘hmph’ sound as she turned her head to look out the

‘This little brat seriously doesn’t knohat’s really going on’

The me of the past would have suffered a wounded pride, but after beco Sung-taek’s bitching was laughable

“The Chair”

“What, for the Chairman to suddenly…”

As I was conte-taek so that the rumors would fly, the buffet entrance became noisy

“Grandpa!”

‘Grandpa? Chair Group?’

Dragging a retinue of 10 or so attendants behind hi Man-hyuk, a person I had seen often on TV, ca-taek ran towards hirandpa

‘Lol, short legs run in the family’

With his grizzled hair, the 70 year old Chair a poo, a posture that randson

“Ahh, you rascal You’ve grown so et married the day after tomorrow, you rascal”

Hwang Man-hyuk ood-natured as he tousled his puppy’s hair Contrary tohilomerate that razed small businesses, he looked decent on the outside He looked as randpa

“hello? Hoho! I a-taek’s homeroom teacher It is an honor toSun-nyeo, with a sophisticated air just dripping with pretense

“Ah, so you are Sung-taek’s horeetings, but we finally meet”

“Hoho, please How could the person leading Ohsung Group, which drives South Korea, co-taek both materially and emotionally, so please do not worry”

Caked inSun-nyeo defined the epitome of social life and flattery

“If you do, I won’t have anything to worry about Then, I will send you a small token of -taek, ill lead our Ohsung Group in the future, in your care”

When else would you get to see the chair his respects to a teacher? Moreover, at the words ‘s Sun-nyeo beamed with joy, even under all thatthat she was our homeroom teacher

“General Manager”

“Yes, Chairer answered immediately

“Tell the kitchen to randson are here…”

Maybe he usually talked like this, but the end of Chairhtly

“Before you came, I already informed each kitchen to make their special menu”

As if he were frozen in front of a lance-corporal division coer was stock-still before Chair

‘Tch, the brat is that old randson after all’

I thought I could sur rude The person he had watched and learned frorandpa, just treated everyone under hi bastard had lost his sense of manners

“Alright, everyone! Shouldn’t we thank the chair Man-hyuk, who invited us today?”

Ms wang Sun-nyeo eh she wasn’t even a public relationsGroup

“Thank you very much”

“Chairman, you’re the best!”

Clap clap clap!

For souests outside of our group and it was s and applause vigorously filled the hall Only Ye-rin and I were silent with apathetic expressions Only Ye-rin and I were silent with apathetic expressions

“Thank you Now, please return to your meals It seems that the senseless appearance of an old ot in the way of your meal”

As was appropriate for a tycoon who held politics and the economy in his hands, he presented himself as benevolent even in front of the kids

‘I know Your heart is no better than a coal-black crow’

Unlike the other kids, I had heard of the Ohsung Group’s extrehMan-hyuk’s specialty was controlling skillful s their unit prices, or threatening the on them to make them do as he wanted

“Then everyone, please enjoy your tio take your friends who canLand tomorrow, too I’ll let them know”

[T/N: Ohsung Land is a theme park, like Disney Land]

“Thanks grandpa Hehe”

‘He’s seriously gonna roll over’

Though he was all sorts of arrogant at school, in front of his grandpa, the bastard agging his tail and panting like a mutt

I pushed out my chair and stood

“Hyuk, where are you going?”

At that, Ye-rin asked

“There’s someone I have to admonish with some advice about life”

I answered her and ran outside to where Chair I absolutely wanted to tell him had suddenly occurred to me

“Chair, who had left the buffet and was standing in front of the elevator

“You are? A friend of Sung-taek?”

He ht that I had followed hi Man-hyuk greeted me warmly

“My na I want to ask”

“A question? Haha! You are brave for a youngster” Though he said that, the guards and attendants around Chairht, what is your question?”

Chair still hadn’t dropped his facade

“What is your dream, Chairman?”

“Dream?”

Hwang Man-hyuk was slightly confused by the sudden talk about dreams

“You! Are you holding up the busy Chairman with a joke!”

A man who looked to be the Chief Secretary caht scowl on his face

“I don’t have anything so unnecessary as a dreaiven”

‘To not have a dream… I see’

When I was young,me a story There is no one as happy as so as wretched and fearful as someone who doesn’t have a dream

“Thank you for your time I will continue to think deeply on it” I sharply bowed and returned to the inside of the buffet hall

“You, what is your name?”

I heard the Chairman’s stout voice behind me

“Kang Hyuk,Hyuk”

‘It is a name you will come to hear often in the future’
