What was important at this point was finding out what Jung Hayan had taken from me, not what she had used the catalyst for.
I knew I had to set some boundaries between us eventually, but there was nothing I could do at this moment in time. Jung Hayan was still growing up, after all.
I knew that if Jung Hayan became a wizard powerful enough to wipe out the entire continent according to Kim Hyunsung's predictions, then the unthinkable might happen.
This peephole would become an entire wall, and this bed could be made to curse everyone it touches. That wasn't everything, even. She might also be responsible for the creation of recording magic. Other things came to mind.
'Mental control?'
She could develop a mind-control spell that would manipulate my mind little by little, or maybe use a powerful enchantment spell particularly made for me. She could even find a way to become invisible in order to stay by my side the entire time.
Of course, I was still convinced that Jung Hayan wouldn't do all these things since she still held the title of Pure Advocate, but then again... this was the same girl who had cut off Park Hye-young's limbs.
'One wrong move...'
I needed to be careful whenever Jung Hayan was around and when she wasn't.
Thanks to Hwang Jeong-yeon's ability, I was able to find this out while it was still in the early stages. I would have to make an insurance plan, but I had to focus on something else for now.
"This is incredible."
"You think?"
"I didn't think you would use the whole second floor as a workshop."
"Ah..."
I knew what Hwang Jeong-yeon was talking about. As a wizard, it wasn't hard for her to feel impressed. By connecting my room and the alchemy workshop through the gap between the empty guild room, my workspace was wide as a result.
I also knew what had caught her eye was not the workshop's setup but the items found within.
'After all, I had gotten a lot from the Black Swan.'
Even for an experienced adventurer such as she, it would still be hard to earn so many rewards such as these.
"To be precise, it's so that my workshop and room are connected. It was a little uncomfortable to go back and forth... The best textbooks to study are already here, so it's less time-consuming this way."
"No, no, everything looks great to me."
"They were all gifts. Oh, do you not have a second job?"
"It's my break time right now. Am I interrupting anything?"
"No. I'm just grateful for your help."
"Well, there's nothing else for me to do... as a wizard, I'm surprisingly not that curious. Of course, I don't plan on snatching Mr. Kiyoung's or Miss Hayan's research for myself, either!"
"Don't worry, I know that."
I made sure to assess her once more with my ability, wanting to memorize her stats.
