Chapter 105 - Magic Money 2

"Where is it? Where's my gold bar? "Eun Ha hurried into the apartment when they returned from the cafe for a little more 'training'. The valuable item was gone, despite the key being in the Hunter's hand. She looked up at her teacher, astonished.

"You now know why you shouldn't pay with magic money. It'll disappear after a while," Shin said, closing the door behind him.

"It can't be like that! It's not like that in fairy tales!" the fairy protested, sulking. Despite the magical moment of winning a huge smile from her crush and teacher, Eun Ha was very excited about the possibility of not only paying Ye Rim's debts, but also of becoming the youngest Korean millionaire woman.

"Don't tell me that you have no idea why this is happening, Jung. I just explained it " no one could accuse the Hunter of not trying to teach the fashion designer something. Still pouting, she pondered a little,

"Because… it was done with floating magic, perhaps?"

"Yes, that and also something else. By the way, what do you think happened to your raincoat from that day?" He casually asked, putting his hands in his coat pocket.

"WHAT?!!! My stylish beautiful raincoat ceased to exist?! No! I don't want to live anymore!" In fact, Eun Ha never checked it again after keeping it in her closet. The same for the items she created inside Ye Rim's bag. Once she got them locked inside a drawer, she forgot them.

The Hunter snorted at his student's sudden drama, and said,

"Jung, floating magic is not forever. In fact, she is very ephemeral."

Eun Ha blinked and blinked again, thinking about everything the teacher had recently explained.

"Ahhhh! I got it! This has to do with the use of floating magic! It's not everlasting!"

"Yes, ephemeral magic lasts only seconds, or at most, hours. And uses only floating magic."

"Like Cinderella's dress!"

"Hmmm," apparently her tutor didn't seem to like comparing real magic to fairy tales. "In any case, Jung, you would be caught quickly if you used ephemeral magic to create money, and financially harm people. And you'll learn that using anchored magic to create semi-permanent, or lasting, magic is costly and painful..."

The young fairy watched the Hunter discreetly, out of the corner of her eye. She knew he had been limping for a while, even though it was barely noticeable. Would it have to do with the use of too much anchored magic?"

"Is the teacher going to teach me to use both?"

"Yes, let's train a little here, I'll tell you how to do it and you do the best you can," Shin said. Eun Ha already imagined that there would be no demonstrations; in fact, she already suspected that he did not perform spells; not because he did not want to, but because he could not.

In the next one and a half hours, the Hunter taught and explained how to use magic to create objects and change them; how to make them look the way they want, and even how to make them last longer than just a few hours. 

He also spoke about the scales of magic: Ephemeral, Enduring, Deep, which allowed great magical effects to last; and Life, which required more than anchored magic, but part of the fairy's vital energy, to be performed.

The Professor also mentioned that he would soon teach her about control methods: how to countermagic, intrusive magic, and conditional magic. And also the schools of magic, which made Eun Ha very curious.

Then Hunter Shin said he would let her train some more, while he would be gone for a few hours, researching something. 

Eun Ha was definitely having a lot more fun without the teacher around to curb her imagination with rules and rules!

In fact, when the Hunter returned, his student was waiting for him anxiously outside the door.

Eun Ha was a little tired but definitely excited about her progress! She wore Gucci boots and a Givenchy coat, as well as a Chanel bag and matching accessories. Even her makeup copied exactly the best products and techniques, and besides, her hair shone like silk.

But of course, what did the Professor ask her?

"Is this your witch hat the only real thing about you?"

Eun Ha felt her balloon of happiness wither a little, but before she could answer, he still had a question,

"Did you remember to change your lingerie too?"

"OHHH !!!!" She was shocked, and a little embarrassed, for not remembering the underwear.

But in a way happy that he thought of her lingerie, "Professor!"

"Everyone forgets their underwear," he responded casually, while being pushed into the apartment by Eun Ha, who was unable to contain her expectations.

What she wanted to show was her meticulous and creative interior decoration work. The entire apartment was renovated, from floor to ceiling, with the most perfect replicas of furniture and decorative objects that Vogue Home Residence could publish on its pages. It was like walking in a drama setting, and that's exactly what Eun Ha said,

"Doesn't it look like we're in a drama set? Am I good or not? Ah, it's like being a millionaire!" she whirled, ecstatic with her own gift for the first time in her life.

It was as if she had found his purpose in existence! It would be so simple to live, just creating everything she needed at the right time!

But her Professor opened drawers, looked behind the curtains and cushions. Each time he did something like this, Eun Ha became more and more anxious. "Damn perfectionist!" She grumbled through her teeth, starting to get irritated.

"It's not good? Don't tell me you're going to judge if I simulated the price tags too..."

That was when the first item, a comfortable Louis XV, vanished into the air, at the same time that Eun Ha felt a huge urge to sneeze!

"Achoo!!!"

I think"I think you lost some of your decor, Jung," the Professor was mocking, but when he looked up, his amused expression became concerned and he approached her.

"Why did the Professor go around checking so much ?! It was so beautiful!"

Hunter Shin took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, signaling that she should clean her face. When Eun Ha complied, the young fairy saw that she had lost some blood through her nose. With a sigh, she stopped focusing so much, and almost everything she had built, including her garments, vanished in the air as if it had never existed in the first place. Only a few objects, such as the sofa, were left intact.

"This is not fun," the young fairy complained.

"You did very well, Jung. Better than anyone I've seen before."

"Really?!" considering how cheap the Hunter was with praise and encouragement, it must have been true. This made her less discouraged. "So for the first time did I do well?"

"I shouldn't have tried so hard, but I see that you don't look as drained as most of us would have been at your age," the Professor said, simply.

"YES! That means I'm really special, isn't it? Professor had said the other day that my method is different from all others, and now he says that I am very good at doing magic!"

"No, I said that you use shady banished methods; and that today, you have managed to create a lot huge number of objects out of nowhere. Using even a little anchored magic. Without getting too tired. Which leads me to believe..."

'I hate those dramatic pauses, it always seems like he will think better and never tell me what goes through his head,' the stylist threw herself on the couch. In fact, she needed to get some rest.

"That you have access to an enormous amount of magical energy, so much so that your anchored magic is quite strong."

"Even with my nose bleeding?" she asked, a little confused by the information. But something came to her mind as the most logical explanation, 

"You think it's strange because you don't know Ye Rim! You didn't even hear her sing! Surely she creates magic with her music!"

The Hunter raised an eyebrow, pondering, "Well, it could be. Humans who are true artists produce magic enough to be perceived even by humans themselves!"

"But it's special! She's better than everyone!"

"Of course you would say that," he was not impressed by his student's enthusiasm. "And we return to the subject of our meeting, that's not it?"

"Do we? Ah yes! Ye Rim! Professor! Help me to help her! What can I do?!"

"It's very simple and I already said that. Pay. If you don't have the money, produce it somehow," he sighed, apparently mentally preparing himself for more whine on the part of his student.

"I don't ..."

"JUNG! How can you be so defeatist?! Do your best! You have a profession, so you have the means to earn money honestly! What's your best, anyway? Grumbling and chasing your protégé's suitors, is all you know how to do?"

"No! I DESIGN CLOTHES!"

"Oh, well, I remembered," his expression was not encouraging, and it filled Eun Ha with spite. And there were few things that motivated Eun Ha more than her willingness to prove himself right.

"Well, I just had an incredible idea to get the money on my clothes and pay off the debt I created for Ye Rim!"

"...!"
