SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar-Novel



'It seems he still sees me that way...' Aloe smiled sadly as she looked at Sung Han Soo's face for a brief moment.

They both maintained eye contact for a split second before she looked away. In the brief moment her eyes connected with his, though, she could see his look of admiration towards her.

'He still considers me a goddess...' Even after all this time, she couldn't change the impression Sung Han Soo had of her.

At first, she spoke against how he idolized her. However, after realizing it was pointless, she simply chose to ignore it.

Perhaps it was because Aloe realized how hypocritical it would be for her to chastise him for the same offense she had been guilty of.

'I also saw Jared that way...' A small smile formed on her face as she remembered her immature days.

Thankfully, she realized it early—how, despite a person's amazing abilities, they were still fallible humans.

'I was immature, then.' Her smile graduated into a soft giggle. 'I guess I don't need to worry too. He'll also grow out of this phase.'

Aloe knew she wasn't some goddess or perfect entity that Han Soo liked to think of her as.

She was just a woman who was lost in a strange world, finding a way to return home.

'So far, my investigations have led to nothing substantial.'

Something kept gnawing at her that the information at her disposal wasn't complete and accurate, but she also knew the South Korean government wouldn't dare deal with her so deceptively.

'They gave me all the information I wanted, which is all the information they have on Dimensional Energy, Gates, Monsters, and Dungeons.'

She had also taken her time to go over them in the past month.

'Yet... nothing. Something feels off. It feels like I'm missing something.'

The Hunter Association even allowed her access to the International Database that all the countries used to share information concerning the Dimensional affairs, managed by the Zenith.

'Even then, it feels insufficient. Is it just my suspicion? Haaa... in any case, I've hit a dead end.'

She could only hope to help the country that treated her so well, helping in gathering materials and helping in their research so they could advance the information and applicable science they had on the topics she needed.

'My Magic knowledge and skills aren't sufficient.'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoᴠelFɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

These were the thoughts that afflicted Aloe, but she kept up her facade.

'Let's complete this mission first. I'll think of the rest when we return.'

[Boss Room]

The icy hall that was the Boss Room greeted both Aloe and Han Soo, who didn't waste any time in walking straight forward once the time for waiting was over.

The shiny frosty tiles, and the exquisitely designed throne-room didn't seem befitting to the monster who sat on a primitive ice throne.

It was almost like pearls thrown before swine.

"GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!" The Frost Giant King rose to his feet, sending vibrating roars into the air.

Its bulky frame was five meters, and its intimidating form gave off a chill that couldn't be merely explained as cold air.

It felt like the aura of death.

Despite that, however, Aloe did not cease her advance.

>VWUUUUUUUUSSSHHHHH!!!<

Cloaked in golden light, Aloe leaped from her position and charged straight forward.

Faster than the Frost Giant could move a muscle, and much faster than Sung Han Soo could perceive, she clenched her fist and sent a devastating blow to her opponent.

>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!<

The Frost Giant King shattered instantly, its body breaking into tiny chunks, thanks to the intense energy Aloe sent coursing through it.

In that moment, that single second, the Boss Monster was subjugated

... And the Dungeon was cleared.

"You should have kept it occupied while I harvested the Dungeon materials!" Sung Han Soo whined, almost in tears as soon as he saw the Boss Monster's body was no more.

He took the Monster Core and kept it in his backpack.

Since it was a Special Item, it could store a whole lot of things, and it also eliminated most of the weight that accompanied the load.

The Chairman gave it to Han Soo because he was the one accompanying Aloe Vida, their VIP

'Its unfortunate that we can't harvest any more than this...' Han Soo thought to himself, nearly in tears.

Sure, his goddess was flawless, but she could be really impulsive sometimes.

"How long before the Gate closes?"

"It usually takes thirty minutes for A Rank Dungeons, but it also depends on its size." Han Soo sighed.

The bigger the Dungeon was, specifically the distance between the entrance and Boss Room, the longer it took for the Gate to completely close.

It almost felt like the Dungeon was being considerate of the Hunters.

"It'll take about ten minutes for us to reach the entrance of we hurry, so it'll leave about twenty minutes to mine. But that's not even enough time for all the things we could obtain."

Since South Korea really needed resources right now, they had to make the best of every Dungeon raid.

This was yet another reason it was more profitable compared to Dungeon Breaks.

"Oh, no worries. You can leave it to me." Aloe suddenly spoke, a bright smile radiating on her face.

"W-what?"

"[Original Magic: Aurora Vidalis]"

Those were the last words Sung Han Soo heard before blacking out.

No, perhaps it felt more like he blinked his eyes.

By the time he reopened them, both he and Aloe were already in front of the Gate.

"H-huh...??"

The backpack Sung Han Solo had on felt way heavier than before, and the sudden change in his environment flustered him.

"I took care of everything. We just have to wait a while before leaving."

Took care of everything? What exactly did she mean?

Checking the time, Han Soo realized that only a few seconds had passed since he was in the Boss Room.

Counting for the fact that he had been flustered for a few seconds already, it meant all that Aloe did—harvesting the appropriate ores and loot, as well as bringing the both of them before the Gate—literally took no time at all.

"A-ahhh... haaa..." He never expected this, even from Aloe Vida.

She really was a goddess—an awesome one, in fact.
