It was covered in cobwebs as if it had not been used for a long time, but the communication magic tool was not just for decoration.
Less than ten minutes after contacting the bank, a new transaction appeared in Leon's account.
"Nine, ninety-five thousand…."
As they returned to the place they had first warped to, Leon muttered with a pale face.
I also agreed with that reaction. Because it's 100 million won.
'That's crazy.'
Even though he risked his life, it was an absurd amount of money for half a day's work.
Even though he didn't know much about the world, Leon seemed to know that it was rare to earn 100 million won by investing this much time.
I opened my mouth, inwardly appreciating Leon's sense of reality.
"They caught one hundred thousand pelts each."
10 million won per person.
I don't know if they set the salary roughly because they didn't know that people would actually come and catch them, or if they were paying them because they were high-level workers capable of dealing with a group of dogs, but the salary didn't feel very realistic.
Of course, it is a reasonable price if you include a risk premium.
Because contaminated creatures exert tens or hundreds of times their original strength, you have to be prepared to die if you're not at a good level.
"…It was an unexpected problem, but it wasn't something that couldn't be fixed, and I'm glad it was resolved without any major injuries."
Leon took out his magical passbook and looked at the numbers that had just been stamped.
"If I go back now, I'll add some features to the items I chose before and place an order right away. I can match the price and put in something better."
"Thank you. Oh, and don't use half of it, leave it for yourself. No matter what, I don't want to keep it all to myself."
To be honest, when I imagined a small amount of money, I didn't think much of it even if he said he would hand everything over to me, but after unintentionally putting me through a life-or-death experience, I was a little reluctant to keep all this money to myself.
Unlike me, Leon tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
"Um… I don't necessarily have to take it."
"...."
What is that 'necessarily'? It may be something I say without thinking much, but from my perspective, where my balance is basically 0 won, I can only laugh in vain.
Leon, who heard the sound of air escaping from the side, began to explain belatedly.
"Ahem… That's not what you think. It would be better if you pour everything out and stabilize the core as soon as possible. I was the one who said I would follow you here first. I said from the beginning that I would hand everything over to you. And I also don't have anything to buy…."
"I know everything, so stop explaining."
"okay."
Leon found a suitable spot and cast a teleportation spell.
The space was instantly transformed into Leon's training ground.
Leon glanced up at the open training room ceiling and then knocked on the training room door.
"Okay, let's go to the dorm now. Let's both rest tonight and see you tomorrow night."
"Okay, you worked hard today. Go in quickly."
Leon waved at my greeting.
I stopped grabbing the pendant and opened my mouth quietly.
"Leon."
"huh?"
"Thank you for today."
If it weren't for him, it would have been difficult to fight this pack alone. I felt this way in many ways. I was lucky to have good companions right from the start.
Leon looked surprised at those words, then smiled and shrugged.
"I have something to say."
****"*******
'What do you have to say?'
Anyway, he's a magic maniac.
After all, it's okay to encounter a pack of them since you can see magic.
The passion is no ordinary passion. I think I know why the main character has been by her side for 10 years.
I packed my books and left the room, thinking about this and that.
Even before I left the floor, I heard a familiar story.
"Hey, I heard someone swept 950,000 fells in the northeast forest today."
I stopped walking at the sound I heard from behind the stairs.
As expected, the rumor spread.
It was not uncommon for that amount of money to be swept away in a single day, so it was natural.
"I heard. Leon and Leon's attendant. I think they're both wizards, so they swept it all away."
"Leon?! Why did you suddenly leave?"
"Leon said that the attendant wanted to stop by. He said that he was a traveler from the Papal States."
"Really? Haven't you heard the name? If you're a wizard, you must be a noble."
"I don't know. It's a foreign surname, so I don't remember. But the manager there said it doesn't seem to be a noble surname."
"There's no way the wizard who goes around with Leon isn't a nobleman. I guess he's under an alias."
"I guess so. He came wearing a mask too."
"huh?"
I touched my chin.
I knew that if I used a noble surname, I would get in trouble, so I wrote down my original surname.
Since the news would spread to the Papal States in an instant, there was no need to use actual noble surnames and cause trouble between families.
'In fact, it is something that needs to be confirmed at least once that a foreign magician has come to the capital and is doing various activities.'
There was no such system in place, and in the novel, the law is hastily revised only after the protagonist throws a bombshell incident at the royal family around the middle of the story.
Until then, I just took it easy, thinking, 'If a family of this size gave permission, then my identity must be certain.'
'Of course, this is the first time Leon's family has heard of this… .'
Because I never gave permission… .
But you don't have to worry about that, Leon will take care of it.
For now, it's within the expected range. That's enough.
I left the room, leaving the students' conversation continuing.
Even at noon, the situation was the same.
The news quickly spread throughout the capital, including the school.
"Did you hear this?! That blue-eyed hunter is going to be out there tomorrow too?!"
"Keuhp…."
As I was walking to the classroom, I was startled by a shout coming from somewhere.
'… That title just now… .'
Are you talking about me? Who else is going tomorrow?
Once I started to become conscious, I could tell that I was hearing similar sounds all around me.
'… status window.'
