Bianca Lowell

After the game, I went back to the hotel and washed up, but the phone rang.

I thought it was Sejin because I decided to have dinner with Sejin, but it’s sympathy.

-Have you had dinner?

“no. I just washed up and came out. I was going to go out to dinner with Sejin, but why are you doing that?”

Since Sejin came to England, she had been eating only hotel food, and she said she missed Korean food, so we decided to go to a Korean restaurant near the hotel.

―Conrad He invited you over to his house for dinner, and he said you should come too.

“Me too?”

―I remember last time you sold a Giant Sandworm carcass. I think Sejin can go too, but would you like to ask?

“Yes. Let me talk.”

I was going to pay a visit to the Lowell family because of Bianca.

I got a business card from Conrad last time, but I don’t have a close relationship with him, so I wondered if I should seduce the vice principal, but I didn’t know he would invite you first.

Well done anyway.

―See you in the lobby in 20 minutes.

I said okay and hung up the phone.

I called Sejin while changing clothes.

―Ah, Sam, I’m ready. I’ll be leaving soon.

“Hey, I don’t think I can go to the restaurant today.”

-Yes? Is today your day off?

“No, I just got off the phone with the vice principal, and Conrad Lowell has invited the vice principal and teacher over for dinner.”

―Conrad Lowell?

“I mean Bianca’s dad. Sejin said you can go with him if it’s okay, what do you want to do?”

-uh… Then I’ll go too.

“yes. Then see you in the lobby in 20 minutes.”

After putting on my clothes and drying my hair, I went down to the lobby and forgot my earphones, so I went back to my room.

The interpretation magic is applied to the earphones that the World Hunter Association gave to students and related persons participating in WHCU.

It supports more than 60 languages, but it is not permanent and only lasts for about 30 days.

It was an almost essential item for me, who is not good at English, so I brought earphones and came down to the lobby.

Sejin was waiting first, so as we talked and waited, the vice principal also arrived.

“I called on the way down and they sent a car to the hotel. Leave at once.”

When I go out to the entrance, a silver-haired man dressed neatly in a suit approaches.

When you think of England, you are a gentleman, and that image is exactly that.

He introduced us as the butler of the Lowell family, confirmed our names, and asked us to wait for a while, and soon a white limousine appeared in front of us.

“Let’s get on.”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a car like this. Aren’t they from the movies?”

“Yeah. See the teacher for the first time.”

“Both of you, stop showing off and get on board.”

It took about 15 minutes to reach the mansion.

Conrad’s house is a mansion that looks like something out of an American movie, and after passing through the entrance, the car stopped after about 3 minutes.

When I went inside, I saw that there were not just one or two buildings.

It took only 15 minutes from the hotel, so this must be London, but a mansion of this size in London, where land is said to be more expensive than Seoul… .

I felt it when I sold Giant Sandworm last time, but it seems like a lot of money.

“Tonight’s dinner will be held in the banquet hall in the annex you see over there. Follow me. Let me guide you.”

After walking for about 5 minutes with the butler, we arrived at the annex, and Conrad Lowell, who found us, approached us with a friendly smile.

“Senior, welcome.”

“The house is too big… What’s wrong with your arm again?”

Conrad Lowell has a cast on his right arm.

“I was sparring earlier and the gold went slightly. Well, it will be better in a few days.”

“What kind of guy did you sparring with so that your arm got cracked?”

“Who is who? He is Khabib.”

I wondered who made the 10-year-old Conrad’s arm like that, but it’s understandable that it was Khabib.

Khabib, like Conrad, is a martial artist representing the United States as a member of the 10 Stars.

“That ox bastard? Tsk tsk, it’s because I’m usually lazy in training. You guys are retired too.”

“It’s trash. My arm is like this, will he be fine? I had a cracked arm, but he had a broken leg, so I won.”

“Sir, can’t cracks be healed with magic?”

“Healing magic doesn’t work well for S-rank hunters like Conrad who have a lot of mana.”

Whether they use a spear, sword, or fist, they use the same mana, but wizards use mana of a completely different nature.

These two manas reject each other and cannot be stacked at the same time.

Therefore, in order to heal S-rank hunters with a lot of mana, you need an S-rank wizard with at least equal or more mana.

On the other hand, Naegong has refined mana, so it is free from these problems.

“If the prosecutor injured his right arm, he lost. I was thinking of having a sparring match after eating, but I couldn’t.”

“Have you forgotten that I am left-handed? And I don’t fight with seniors. It’s been a while, Shin Hyuk.”

“Thank you for remembering and inviting me.”

“Thanks to you, I gave my daughter the best gift, and of course I should remember it. Oh, isn’t the lady who came with me representative of Korea? My name is Kim… .”

“I’m Sejin Kim.”

“Ah, it was. I can’t remember people’s names very well. I had a good game today. Your skills are amazing.”

“thank you.”

“Your daughter is not easy to say. My magic isn’t enough, so I even use a sword.”

“Our Bianca is such a genius. let’s go Let me introduce you to my family.”

With Conrad’s guidance, we were introduced to his family.

Ryan, who fights with Lee Ji-sung in the original work and becomes friendly with his wife, who works as a high-ranking executive at the British Hunter Association. And Bianca, who will face Sejin in the finals.

My wife is a beauty, but her expression doesn’t look good, maybe something is wrong.

I don’t think it’s because of us, and I think it’s because I’m upset that my husband came back with an arm injury.

Ryan is only a sophomore in middle school in Korean age, but he is almost the same height as me.

Of course, the face still gives off a youthful look.

Finally, Bianca kept staring at me from Conrad’s introduction.

I wondered if there was something on my face, so I sat down and checked it on my phone, but there was nothing strange… .

ah! Maybe that’s it?

It is said that a handsome face is eaten regardless of the East or the West, and Kang Shin-hyeok’s looks must have shaken the hearts of British ladies.

Anyway, it’s a problem even if you’re too handsome.

After a brief introduction and greeting, we sat down and started eating.

It is said that British food is not tasty, but everything was great, from the bread that came out first to the salad and the wine that went with the main steak.

The hotel we are staying in is not bad, but I think this place is much better.

Well, since he lives in a mansion like this, he must have hired a famous cook as well.

I was able to clear my doubts while eating.

I didn’t ask the question, but the vice principal asked Bianca if she was surprised that she was a wizard and used a sword, and how she did it.

I thought that he might try to pass it off without answering like in the interview, but Conrad, who was next to me, seemed to think it was an opportunity to brag about his daughter.

It is said that Bianca’s research included not only the corpse of the giant sandworm I sold, but also a lot of materials that are difficult to find even for S-rank hunters, such as the heart of a triple-headed ogre and Lich’s Life Vessel, which are much rarer.

I gathered all the other materials a long time ago, but I couldn’t find the less rare Giant Sandworm carcass.

If I hadn’t taken the A-rank promotion test, caught a giant sandworm, and sold it to Conrad, Bianca’s research would most likely have failed.

As long as monster corpses are not processed separately, no matter how well you treat them with magic and store them well, the effect gradually diminishes over time.

Although Bianca runs away from home and gets the body of a giant sandworm herself, it seems that it was not mentioned in the original work because the materials she had already saved at that time failed due to their ineffectiveness.

It was all a butterfly effect caused by my actions.

I even thought that Bianca might have mastered the inner workings like me, or that the writer might be a hidden character that was not mentioned in the original work on purpose to be used in the side story… .

It’s a bit of a letdown, but well, I’m glad.

My curiosity was also answered, so I focused only on the food.

“Was the food okay?”

I am enjoying the pudding for dessert when Conrad talks to me.

“It tastes much better than the hotel we are staying at.”

“yes? The chef would love to hear it. After the meal, how about a sparring session to help digest?”

“Dalian? But the arm… .”

“I said it before, but I’m left-handed, so it’s okay. I couldn’t do it last time because I had a schedule. I have a lot of time today.”

did you remember that?

As a swordsman, it would be a lie if I said I had no desire to face Conrad, the world’s strongest swordsman, but I still do not want to fight while injured.

“Ah, I didn’t bring my own sword… .”

To be honest, it doesn’t matter what sword I use, but I made an appropriate excuse to refuse.

“Is it difficult without your sword? If not, there are many swords in our house.”

“you! What is sparring with those arms?”

“Well, I made a promise when I went to Korea last time… .”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to practice sparring with an injury. You worry about your wife too.”

I felt like they were ignoring me too much, so I thought about giving them true education, but I changed my mind because my wife’s expression was quite bloody.

“I’m really fine.”

“Are you sure you would?”

“No, I made a promise and I’m going to do it really lightly… .”

“You said you were doing it lightly, but your bones cracked.”

“ah… okay.”

A member of the 10 Stars and Britain’s strongest swordsman seems to have nothing to do with his wife.

“Then why don’t I spat in place of my father?”

huh?

Bianca, who had been still, suddenly stepped out.

Everyone looks puzzled, but I am too.

I’ve been looking at you ever since… Wait, isn’t this just to get my attention?

hahahaha. Seriously, this guy’s popularity.

The reason for my refusal… no, it’s rather good

It’s a good opportunity to analyze Bianca, who will face Sejin in the final.

“I don’t mind, but Miss Bianca has a game tomorrow, will that be okay?”

“I don’t think there will be any problems with tomorrow’s game just by lightly sparring once.”

I don’t think I’ll lose even if I fight against my dad, Conrad, but I’m really bold.

Actually, since he is a world-class prospect, he must have been full of confidence since he had only heard compliments.

Analysis for Sejin is also analysis, but I have to tell Bianca.

That there is another sky above the sky.

* * *

It’s slightly smaller than the WHCU competition arena I went to during the day, but it’s much bigger than the Hunter Association arena in Korea or our school arena.

It must be a lot of money to have a facility like this at home.

Conrad and his wife did not object, so the sparring was concluded, and after the meal, Conrad followed Conrad to the duel in the basement of the annex.

“Shin Hyuk is a swordsman, so we Bianca will only use auxiliary magic and a sword.”

“I don’t care if you use all the other magic.”

“Then embarrassing situations may arise… Are you really going to be okay?”

Huh, this crosses the line a bit.

Bianca is said to be a promising prospect worldwide, but she is still only a preliminary hunter, and her annoyance creeps up.

“Hey, you Konga bastard, what’s up?”

“Senior, why are you like this?”

“Why is that, you just ignored our teacher Kang!”

“I didn’t ignore… .”

“If you’re not ignoring it, what is it? Your daughter may be okay among her peers, but only among children. Don’t be fooled and tell them to do it with all their might.”

I was going to say something, but the assistant principal hit the ball first.

“To the extent that my senior would say that… This is a big mistake I made. I’m sorry. Then our Bianca will use both sword and magic.”

“it’s okay. Hey, then can I add one condition?”

“What conditions?”

“Shouldn’t there be a penalty because Sejin, whom I teach, is sparring with his peers?”

“penalty? Hey, aren’t you ignoring our daughter too much?”

Didn’t you ignore it first?

Not only Conrad, but the Lowell family, including Bianca, looked at me and frowned, but the provocation seems to have worked.

“excuse me. I know you’re an A-rank hunter, but I’m also going to be reviewing an A-rank hunter in February. Don’t be rude.”

“Not yet, is it? You’ll know if it’s ignoring or guesting if you do sparring… ugh, yes If Miss Bianca makes even one valid attack on me, I’ll lose.”

When I had a duel with the vice-principal in the past, the sympathy looked at me with an embarrassed expression, probably because it was the condition that the sympathy had set.

Of course, I have no intention of being forced like the vice principal.

“If that’s what you mean then that’s fine. do that.”
