Their very own channel, Merlin’s Special Magic Lecture, had just been mentioned on television.
As the two children hastily spat out the cookie crumbs, Director Kim Soo-ah quickly poured some water and handed it to them.
It couldn’t be helped.

[Goodness. agent Then…? adopt Didn’t you lack the firepower needed to take down the boss monster?]

Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
[Haha, it’s not that impressive on my part. sphere The truly remarkable one is the person who filmed that video. accent If it hadn’t been for them, I would already be dead.]

[That is truly remarkable, Mage Ha Ji-hoon. voyage Finding a clue from a video you watched briefly before going to sleep last night and defeating the boss monster with it.]
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
[Aah…. arcade I see. abstract What did you say the name of that You-Tube channel was again?]

‘Isn’t he saying they managed to clear a mutated gate thanks to my lecture?’

In short….
Information regarding the gate flew right past during their conversation, yet Baek Yoo-hyun had no room to focus on any of it.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Things were escalating like this?
Good grief. album Oh my word.
Right as Baek Yoo-hyun stared blankly at the television,
“My word…. crystal Gate ranks mutating and all. apple Today has been quite an eventful day too, hasn’t it, Yoo-hyun?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Ah. ability Well…. timber Im Yoo-na finally succeeded at addition.”
“So, how did things go at school today?”
“…Huh? sphere Oh! *Ahem!* I finally pulled it off!”
“…Yes?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
‘Chaerin-noona needs to get back here quick.’
‘Chaerin-unni, hurry up!’
“Oh my, isn’t that wonderful news?”
Even as they chatted with Director Kim Soo-ah, both children’s minds were entirely elsewhere.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
She was undoubtedly losing her mind right now too.

During a break between classes at school, Kim Chaerin briefly pulled out her smartphone to check the Merlin’s Special Magic Lecture channel.
Surely, back then,
“…What on earth is going on here.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“The long-form was around twenty thousand, and the short-form was at eighty thousand.”
When they uploaded the very first videos and went viral on community forums….
And yet right now….
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“The first video we uploaded is at a hundred thousand on the long-form, and three hundred thousand on the short-form…!”

They were view counts that made her feel as though an entire era had passed overnight.

In a way, magic lectures were a somewhat niche subject.
“Ten thousand. album We hit ten thousand.”
Furthermore, their subscriber count had reached a staggering….
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Kim Chaerin was genuinely left speechless.
Yet this magic lecture channel had breached ten thousand subscribers in just two weeks.
“Insane….”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Even factoring in that she had a decent smartphone now,
Back when she was in middle school,
Far from blowing up, that channel had sunk without a trace…!
Kim Chaerin had filmed videos on a junky old smartphone and tried running a You-Tube channel herself.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
This was undeniably an explosive upward trajectory.
And that Baek Yoo-hyun’s magical skills were no joke….
“With these views and subscribers, we can apply for monetization too. sphere Awesome….”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
* Came here from the news lol
Let’s see….
While checking the monetization application tab, Kim Chaerin naturally scrolled down to read the video comments as well.

└ It truly is remarkable….
└ Fr lol it does look pretty
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Reading through the endless stream of comments pouring in without pause, Kim Chaerin nodded in satisfaction.
…
From reactions marveling at the spectacle to comments radiating the sharp insight of seasoned experts,
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“The kids are gonna be ecstatic….”
A wide spectrum of opinions was on full display.
*Pfft.*

“Chaerin-unniiii!!!”
“Chaerin-noonaaaa!!!”
Letting out a quiet chuckle, Kim Chaerin slipped her smartphone back into her pocket.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Baek Yoo-hyun and Im Yoo-na.
The instant Kim Chaerin returned from school, the two children sprinted eagerly toward her.
Seeing Mercy Childcare Center’s two notorious troublemakers acting so affectionately toward her….
“…What’s gotten into those two?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
It couldn’t be helped.
“Right…?”
Every single kid in the orphanage looked thoroughly bewildered.

Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
People didn’t call Im Yoo-na the undisputed champion of the toddler division for nothing.
Nor was Baek Yoo-hyun labeled a wild pony merely by association for sticking beside Im Yoo-na.
She was the type to claw her way in tenaciously and land a solid punch no matter what.
Baek Yoo-hyun subtly egged Im Yoo-na on while causing plenty of mayhem himself.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
No, more accurately, this sister-in-law stepped right up into the fray to stir the pot herself.
And yet,
Like how the meddling sister-in-law whispering from the sidelines always feels more irritating—
In a way, he was even more devious.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“…Is the world ending?”
Right as one of the children muttered under their breath,
Those very kids, known secretly among the children as the Wild Pony Duo, were bounding over with such bright affection?
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Yes ma’am!”
“Alright, alright, my little wild ponies. attic Come on, let’s go. audit Just let me drop off my bag first!”
“Yes!”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
A short while later.
The other kids stared at the trio as if witnessing a hallucination.
Well, look at that. autumn Answering so politely, too.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Whoa. portal Baek Yoo-hyun, this is seriously huge. abandon How many digits is that?”
Kim Chaerin, Baek Yoo-hyun, and Im Yoo-na huddled together around the smartphone screen.
Inside the orphanage’s storage room, their usual meeting spot.
“Im Yoo-na… even if we combined all of your fingers and mine, it still wouldn’t be enough…!”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
*Sigh—.*
At the two kids’ dramatic fuss, Kim Chaerin let out a sigh.
“Yoo-hyun, you really turn into an idiot whenever you’re next to Yoo-na.”
“No way!”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Having dismissed her suspicion that Baek Yoo-hyun was an idiot, Kim Chaerin addressed the two of them.
“*Ahem, ahem.* Her idiocy is contagious, that’s why.”
“*Tsk.* No, you’re already… wait, no. altitude A kid who uses magic couldn’t possibly be an idiot.”
At Kim Chaerin’s remark, Baek Yoo-hyun immediately cleared his throat and composed himself.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“On top of that, the Merlin channel is now eligible for monetization.”
“Gasp.”
“Let me put it simply. antique Right now, the combined views across our uploaded videos have reached six hundred thousand.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Yoo-hyun, obviously we’re applying for monetization, right? armor It probably won’t take more than a few days.”
“Gasp!!!”
While Baek Yoo-hyun and Im Yoo-na gasped in shock,
Kim Chaerin continued.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Great. canvas We’ll split the revenue according to the ratio we agreed on earlier. silence You’re gonna be rich now, Yoo-hyun.”
“Hehe.”
“Yes!” Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
“The revenue will go straight into the bank account I listed. meadow Just in case, don’t worry—I don’t have the slightest intention of spending a single won recklessly. adjust Besides….”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
*Phoo—.*
“There’s also the issue of taxes.”
Kim Chaerin let out a breath as she spoke.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Nah, no way.
“Yeah. absorb I’ll figure that part out later. altitude Surely we won’t end up making so much money that we have to set up a whole company….”
“Taxes?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Nah… surely not….
“Something you don’t have to pay, Im Yoo-na.”
“What are taxes?”
Both Kim Chaerin and Baek Yoo-hyun treated it as nothing more than a wild hypothetical.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
After Baek Yoo-hyun casually brushed off Im Yoo-na’s question beside him,

“Aha.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Well…. matrix I read through the magic fundamentals book Chaerin-noona gave me, too, but to be honest…”
Baek Yoo-hyun tilted his head in thought.
“Hmm….”
“Alright then, we… should start preparing our next video soon too. autumn Yoo-hyun, what are you thinking of filming next?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Trending, huh…?”
Kim Chaerin rubbed her chin, sinking deep into thought.
“To be honest?”
“I have no idea what kind of magic is trending these days.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Hmm….
The trio swallowed quiet groans.
And beside him, Im Yoo-na pretended to be deep in thought too.
Alongside her, Baek Yoo-hyun naturally fell into thought as well.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Indeed. apron This was….
“That is a problem. airport Even magic must have its own trends, right?”
“You’ve got a point.” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
“Yes. harbor Picking lecture topics from the fundamentals book is all well and good, but it’d definitely be way better if we followed the magic trends on You-Tube.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
How could a channel that had barely crossed ten thousand subscribers act like an untouchable maverick?
Merlin’s Special Magic Lecture was still far too small in scale for that.
Picking out random magical theories to introduce like a lone wolf might be fine, yet….
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Naturally, they had to ride the mainstream wave.
“You don’t have a smartphone, Yoo-hyun.”
“Yes….”
The problem was….
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Yes….”
“And as for me lending you mine, I only have the one.”
“And if you buy one even later on, people will inevitably ask where the money came from.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“This definitely is a problem….”
Beside them, Im Yoo-na couldn’t come up with any bright ideas either.
“Right….”
The two agonized over the dilemma.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“*Sigh.* Even when things go well, the worries just keep piling up….”
“For now, I’ll lend you my smartphone every now and then, Yoo-hyun. abstract Let’s try making do with that somehow.”
With that, the trio’s meeting came to an end.
“Yes ma’am.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
The next day.
—
“What on earth should I do?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Class 1-2 of Seoho Elementary School.
Sitting at his desk, Baek Yoo-hyun was racking his brain over what magic lecture video to film next.
Today they had five periods instead of four, so they had just finished eating lunch.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Or more accurately, to Im Yoo-na, who had wolfed down her lunch and was now dozing off.
“Hey. wizard Im Yoo-na. ability Got any decent ideas?”
Baek Yoo-hyun called out to Im Yoo-na sitting beside him—

“*Slurp—.* Fine.”
“Wipe your drool before talking, Im Yoo-na….”

*Slide—.*
While Im Yoo-na wiped the drool from her mouth,

Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Whoa. legend My eardrums are gonna burst.
“Everyone, fifth period starts in thirty minutes, so go ahead and play until then, okay?”
While Baek Yoo-hyun furrowed his brow slightly, Choi Yoo-rim smiled and stepped up to the podium.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
As the children answered and promptly scattered to play together,
Im Yoo-na bobbed her head sleepily, while—
“Yeeeees!!!”
*Nod—. audit Nod—.*
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
*Sigh—.*
Right as the two wild ponies were side by side lost in their own worlds,
Baek Yoo-hyun let out a long breath.
“…?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
*Scrape—.*
And then,
Im Yoo-na, who had been dozing off soundly, abruptly lifted her head and began staring intently at something.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“What, Im Yoo-na? riddle I’m in the middle of some serious brainstorming right now.”
She stood straight up from her seat and immediately addressed Baek Yoo-hyun.
“Hey. zenith Baek Yoo-hyun.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Grabbing Baek Yoo-hyun’s arm and shaking it, Im Yoo-na spoke. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“Huh?”
“No, you dummy. athlete Just hear me out.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Im Yoo-na turned her gaze toward the assistant teacher, Lee Ji-hye, who had taken a seat in front of the podium and was quietly reading a book.
“…Right?”
“So the problem is, we don’t know what kind of magic is trending right now, right?”
“Then isn’t it super simple?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Wait a second.
“Let’s just ask the teacher.”
“The teacher’s a mage, right? athlete Can’t you just keep it a secret that you learned magic and ask her?”
“Huh?”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“Whoa. apron Im Yoo-na, are you a genius?”
It’ll work.
Hold on. aluminum Could this…?
At Im Yoo-na’s words, gears began clicking into place inside Baek Yoo-hyun’s mind.
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
“No time to waste!”
Immediately grabbing Im Yoo-na by the hand, Baek Yoo-hyun bolted straight toward Lee Ji-hye.
And then,
“A little bit, yeah.”
Translation of The Archmage Hunters Are Obsessed With - Chapter 9: Let’s Just Ask by Indra Translations.
Setting down the book she had been reading, Lee Ji-hye tilted her head in curiosity.
“…Hmm? alien Yoo-hyun? timber And Yoo-na? antique What’s gotten into you two all of a sudden?”
“Teacher!”
