Chapter 8 - Let’s Learn Magic (5)
Chapter 8: Let’s Learn Magic (5)
TL/ED – Enuma ID
Agency for Paranormal Response break room. The agents of the special task unit were slumped over, resting in exhaustion.
It was because they had suffered through the Western-style spiritual building incident last night.
Unlike abandoned buildings, gloomy places, or houses with stories where ghosts naturally occur, this was a criminal act in which ghosts were artificially released into commercial buildings to cause supernatural phenomena, lower property values, and then buy them cheaply.

It was originally a case the Agency for Paranormal Response had been investigating before the university incident.
Compared to the university murder case where a person died in the middle of the street, its danger level was lower, but it was still dangerous.

Team Leader Park of the Agency for Paranormal Response Team 5 loosened his tired shoulders and frowned.
“My head already hurts just from the university professor murder case… that fucking ghost merchant asshole.”
The youngest female agent from Team 3 lifted her head at those words and asked.
“A ghost… merchant?”

Creak-
And Si-on entered the break room and answered instead.
“A Wizard active in Europe. The owner of the Grimoire Heptameron.”
[Heptameron – A Grimoire known to have been written by the Italian scholar Pietro of Abano. It contains methods of trapping ghosts in bottles and using the knowledge and skills the target possessed.]

“A Magic abuser who traps ghosts in bottles and cans and sells them as products.”
Si-on placed drinks and some documents on the table.

“For now, everyone worked hard. Let’s take a short break and at least have some coffee.”
Team Leader Park took a coffee and spoke as he drank.
“Thanks, I’ll enjoy it. So how is the cleanup?”
“We caught the organization that smuggled the ghost cans, but they were already spread to some extent… for safety, we’ll need to find the buildings and purify them.”
Irritation seeped into Team Leader Park’s voice.
“Then just use them as haunted houses!”

“Wanting to see a tiger does not mean you want to see a tiger that came out of its cage.”
Si-on picked up the coffee and handed it to the youngest agent, taking care of her.
“You worked hard.”
“Ah…! Thank you. You worked hard too, Team Leader Si-on. But what are the materials you brought?”
Si-on looked down at the documents and said.
“This is a brief summary of the personal information of the students who were attending class in the lecture room at the time the professor died.”
Е nùm.á . іd
Team Leader Park took a sip of coffee and said.
“Do you think the culprit who killed the professor is among them?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“…It’s just my speculation. I’m checking one by one to confirm.”
Si-on calmly spoke her thoughts.
“The first incident where a man was murdered and the second professor incident, both. No matter how few traces are left, they were carried out in places where there were people’s eyes.”
“If the first was a Rampage, I thought the second was intoxication with power or inability to control the Grimoire. But the third incident did not occur.”

“…And it’s been quiet until now. For someone who obtained strong power, don’t you think that’s overly cautious?”
Team Leader Park rubbed his chin and replied.
“Couldn’t they just be cowardly or have a cautious personality?”
“If the Grimoire owner had a cautious personality, it contradicts the second incident. If they wanted to kill, they would have killed quietly in a place with fewer people, not a lecture room. They have that ability as well.”

“So what’s the conclusion?”
“The second incident was also an unexpected Rampage of the Grimoire. After that, the owner began controlling the Grimoire and is trying to hide themselves.”
Ё n u m.а
Si-on brought her hand to her lips and calmly organized her speculation as she spoke.
“Perhaps the reason the Grimoire owner is being cautious because they might already be exposed. Among the evidence that came out through the two incidents, there might be accidental evidence that could reveal their identity.”
At those words, Team Leader Park nodded, and the youngest female agent’s eyes sparkled.
“There’s no clear method right now, and it’s good if we catch them.”
“I, I’ll work even harder too!”
Si-on smiled lightly.

“Thank you.”
Taking a sip of coffee, she read the names of the people written in the documents.
Kim Gi-su, Kim Seon-a, Kim Yo-han….
Is the Grimoire’s owner really among them?
If so, what are they doing now, how much of the Grimoire’s knowledge have they explored, have they grown?
The reason for being cautious… could they be anticipating not only the evidence but also the existence of the Agency for Paranormal Response?

Si-on calmly read through the documents with steady eyes.

Yo-han received his day’s security part-time pay and arrived home after shopping with satisfaction.
Maybe the part-time pay even included compensation for being startled by ghosts. For a day’s work, it was pretty decent.
Rather than the ghosts, his body felt stiff from sitting on a chair for a long time.
Also, when the job ended, Cheol-min kept asking things like whether anything strange had happened, whether he had seen something weird, which was annoying.
Ê ṅ u̇mа̇
People naturally want a story they can accept.
Even if he said he did not see anything, it felt like someone who had already been tormented by ghosts would not believe it.
After seeing the prayer beads on Cheol-min’s wrist,
he vaguely said that when he was young, a monk had told him he had good energy and strong Yang Qi.

Of course, it was a lie, as he had never even been near a temple.
Anyway, after organizing the groceries and feeding Grizzly, I ate a simple meal while thinking about future plans.

‘…Should I just become an Exorcist?’
The effect of the saltwater Holy Water was much better than expected.
Among the things I could currently do, it seemed like the easiest way to make money.
Go to a building rumored to have ghosts appear, swing the Holy Water bottle around, sprinkle some droplets, and it is over.
The only thing that worried me was….
The existence of a secret government organization that might be tracking me.

It did not seem like they were investigating me yet, but if they were to investigate me later.
A person who had lived normally until now suddenly working as an Exorcist after a professor murder case would be strange.
“……….”
I sighed while covering my forehead with my hand.
Having one’s actions restricted was more irritating than expected.
A secret government organization that manages bizarre incidents, something I had never seen before.

“…I’m really shadowboxing like crazy.”
I organized my thoughts.

No, the only way I would learn of their existence is if they appeared before me.
That would mean they consider me a suspect.
At least for now, it meant I had some leeway.
At a time like this, I needed to learn more Magic.

I took a short nap to relieve my fatigue, then woke up and opened the Grimoire.
The next thing I planned to make after Holy Water was incense.
It’s a magical incense that assists when casting Magic, and is said to be used when driving away or summoning souls.
“Let’s see, the required ingredients first are… dried aloe, nutmeg, benzoin, musk?”

Musk? I felt like I had heard that word before… but what exactly was it?
‘Help me, Google!’
Ẃebn̂о̄v̇ě_ľ Е n̄ u m а_
I searched on the internet and was shocked.
Musk. An incense extracted from the musk gland near the genitals of a musk deer. Like ambergris or civet, it is a representative animal-based incense.
Naturally, I was not surprised just because it was extracted from a musk deer. I was surprised because of the price.
“For this powder, one gram is… three hundred thirty thousand won?”
I know that three hundred thirty thousand won is not exactly an astronomically expensive price.
But considering the state of my wallet, it was definitely expensive.

“……….”
Of course I could buy it, but rent and Grizzly’s food costs made my head hurt.
I felt sorry for having said that Holy Water was just salt mixed into water.
It is Magic water with really great efficiency for the cost.
But what can I do, in the end I have to buy it.
If I am not going to save money to use as Afterlife Travel Money, and if I am going to keep learning Magic, then buying it is the right choice.
Ё n̆.umа́ . i d
Unless I’m saving money to use as Afterlife Travel Money, if I’m going to keep learning Magic in the future, it’s right to buy it.
…And if I think positively, it is an investment.

Anyway, later it will be exchanged back in proportion to how much I invested.
I tapped the iron cover of the Grimoire and said.
“…I hope it works out.”
