The Magic Tower of Pisa.
In the past, it was a popular magic tower and was called one of the three greatest magic towers, but now it was a shabby place with no disciples.
There, the old man gathered various magic books and artifacts and put them in his infinite pocket.
At that time, space became distorted.
The magic tower lord, Hugo, trembled in fear and bowed his head. Then someone came out with black smoke.
Druk-Drurk.
The eerie sound of grinding steel. Hugo didn’t dare to raise his head and got down on one knee.
“Hey, Chiron. “Are you here?”
[Is things going well, Hugo?]
“…It’s the final stages. Now all we have to do is activate the magic circle.”
[The master has high expectations for you.]
Chiron was wearing a helmet. There was only ominous black smoke billowing, but Hugo felt as if he was staring at him.
Hugo
swallowed his saliva and sat lower.
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
[Yes, keep that in mind.]
Chiron’s body was broken. Just like when it appeared, black smoke was billowing in the air.
[And be sure to bring back the holy relic, the cup of magic.]
All that remained was a faint voice. Even after Chiron disappeared, Hugo could not raise his head. Only after a very long time had passed did Hugo stand up.
“Finally, I can reach that level.”
His freckled face was strangely distorted. It was a smile of joy.
“The last child had quite a bit of magical power. “Cluck.”
“Kang.”
“?”
Suddenly a fox’s cry was heard.
Squeak –
The door to the magic tower opened.
An arctic fox with white fur raised one hand.
“hi.”
“…?”
Hugo was startled and fell backwards.
“Wow, the fox can talk.”
“Are you surprised by something like that?”
Miho stood up. It soon glowed white, and when the light stopped, a lovely girl with blue hair was smiling.
“You know, kid.”
Miho put her hands on her knees and bowed her waist.
“I don’t care what you do.”
It was still a lovely smile. However, his expression instantly changed to that of a demon.
“Don’t wake Luid from his sleep.”

It’s been a while since Ruid came to the academy. No, it was absurd to say it had been a long time. It’s been less than a month since he left the academy.
“Hercy.”
“Yes, yes!”
Hersi, who was studying, struggled and hid behind something.
Ruid tilted his head.
“huh? “What about the fox?”
“Ah… Well, let’s go somewhere for a drink…”
Hehe, Hersi scratched the side of her head.
“Well, it’s been a really long time since you’ve been here. “Is it because of recent events?”
“huh.”
Ruid was somewhat suspicious of Hersy, but decided not to think too much about it.
Ruid sat down on the desk and looked around. It is a quiet classroom.
“Is this the extra class classroom? “This is my first time here.”
“That’s because Ruid doesn’t take classes… Even during the magic briefing session, we held it in the main auditorium.”
School has its own unique romanticism. Things you can only experience at this age. Ruid didn’t know that either.
‘Should I have gone out for a bit?’
It might be fun to experience it. Ruid thought about that briefly, but it was still bothersome. It’s fun during break time, but you’ll be bored during class.
“Because I am Hanryang.”
“…What is hanryang?”
“A person who lives leisurely without any official position.”
Ruid got down from the desk. This is probably your first time hearing it. Hanryang is a word that existed during the Joseon Dynasty.
I thought there was nothing that could express myself more accurately than that word.
An unemployed person of high social status. But there is also a lot of work to be done. It’s really a plant that stays still and doesn’t do anything, not a plant.
True kindness is… making people around you think, ‘That’s okay.’ Ruid stared at Hercy.
“Tell this to the president.”
So, it was a plus to be active once in a while if it was forgettable.
“I’m only helping you this once-”
Ruid put his hands in his pockets and left the classroom.

Heading to the Magic Tower of Pisa. I ran into Damon sitting on a large rock and looking up at the sky.
“You don’t have to be so shy.”
“What are you doing?”
“I was having a conversation with the people who were paying homage to me.”
What Damon was looking at was the sun.
Ruid ignored it and passed by. There is nothing good about being associated with a mentally unstable person.
“Wait a minute-”
Damon glanced at Luid with arrogant eyes.
“Let’s go together.”
“I know where I’m going.”
“Weren’t you going to catch a pirate?”
Sighing, Damon raised the corners of his mouth.
“I was just bored.”
“I’m not the one to kill your time.”
Black magic is magic whose sole purpose is to kill. Basically, its basis is different from white magic for the development of humanity. If a warlock and an ordinary wizard of the same rank match, the warlock will win by a landslide. In other words, it was dangerous. Ruid didn’t have the confidence to fight while protecting someone.
“That’s a cheeky answer, Louis Christopher.”
“I guess I got scolded less by His Majesty.”
Ruid looked at Damon with cold, salty eyes.
“It’s not like that. “I’m going to take a nap, so don’t follow me.”
Ruid looked around and tried to walk. But-
“Are we heading to the Magic Tower of Pisa? “Lude Christopher.”
“…!”
Ruid opened his eyes and looked at Damon. Damon shrugged and got off the rock.
“It would be difficult to underestimate the imperial family’s intelligence power. “Because it was the responsibility of the Windsor family, I was forgiving the robber who dared to invade this body’s territory.”
Damon put his hands in his pockets.
“Windsor deserves that kind of respect.”
“How about continuing to show respect?”
“It’s difficult. rival. “Shouldn’t it be worth the wait?”
Damon approached Luid with long strides.
“I was just putting up with an unpleasant crawling bug – I guess I have the right to watch it get crushed.”
Ruid knew that Damon had a personality that was difficult to understand through words.
‘…Well, follow me or not.’
Because there was no reason to stop it. It has to be dangerous, but…
“It’s not my fault if you get hurt.”
“Hmph, if I get bitten by a bug, of course it’s my fault. Why is it your fault?”
“Okay then. Instead, follow me quietly.”
“By the way, Louis Christopher.”
This time, Ruid looked at me with a look on his face as if he was wondering what was going on. Damon said with a triumphant look on his face.
“I guess you didn’t know? “The place where Nia Ryan is imprisoned is not the Magic Tower of Pisa…”
Damon pointed high in the sky with his finger. A place so high that there is no end in sight. A skyscraper that is difficult to look at because of the sunlight. It was also a place I went to once when I was collecting phoenix feathers.
“It’s at the top of the skyscraper.”
“…uh?”
“If you want to hide a tree, the best way is to hide it in the forest. “Isn’t that right?”
‘No way.’
As far as Ruid knows, the shadowy figure is Hugo, the magic lord of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The Magic Tower of Pisa was on the verge of extinction due to its extraordinary talent for a magic tower owner. That was the reason he became a warlock.
So he kidnaps Nia Ryan and conducts research. The purpose is to use the 5th magic [Revival of the Dead] that was lost from the Tower of Pisa.
It was a magic that used a medium to bring back the souls of heroes who had died in the past. Nia Ryan was the optimal test subject for that.
So, of course, the experiment would have been conducted at the Magic Tower of Pisa.
“…Is this certain information?”
“I know the thoughts of bugs best. “After all, observation is my hobby.”
“It’s just a guess.”
“Would you mind calling me Confirmation?”
Damon said with serious eyes.
“I have never been wrong.”
‘Damon isn’t the type of person to talk without any basis.’
Even though he seemed mentally unstable, he was the chosen prince. Just because they inherit imperial blood does not mean that anyone can become the head of the Kairos family.
‘Let me believe it.’
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was a bit far away. I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check before going. Ruid headed to the skyscraper.
**
Above the skyscraper. There should be a phoenix at the very end, but for some reason, the phoenix’s appearance was not even visible.
Instead, the disgusting smell of black magic filled the skyscraper. I suppressed my disgust and followed the smell, and I saw an iron bar.
“It really exists.”
Ruid squatted in front of the iron bars.
“You’ve collected a lot.”
Damon glanced inside the cage with a cold gaze. There were a lot of young children gathered around. They had frowning faces, as if they hadn’t even given them food. Nia Ryan was there too. He was lying in the corner wearing his academy robe.
Ruid held out his hand.
Ujikkeun-! The iron bars collapsed in an instant, creating ample space.
“Damon. Can I ask for follow-up processing? I’ll chase the culprit. “He was probably here until just now.”
“Leave it to me. “After everything is taken care of, I will follow you.”
“No, don’t come.”
“….”
There was a world of difference between just hearing the story and seeing it with my own eyes. No children have died yet. However, it was easy to imagine that he had experienced such pain that it would have been better to die. Traces of foam on the corners of the mouth, scratch-like wounds. Above all, the mana of life that was barely left behind. A wizard named Hugo was planning to exploit the children’s magical powers for as long as possible.
‘I don’t know how much magical power I gained by doing such ugly things.’
Ruid’s blue eyes lit up as he looked at the children who were quite talented.
“I think it might be a little difficult to control your strength.”
Ruid was a little angry.
