Only I Am the Magic Tower Lord Episode 117
The wizard player community was in an uproar.
-link. Kim Yu-shin is recruiting direct disciples!
-If that happens, will Kim Yu-shin teach it himself? That’s awesome.
-But it’s not easy. The conditions are very strict.
-1 Do two circle spells? Now I’m spinning in circles.
-(Question) I’m practicing Shield. Is it better to practice Mana Arrow or Gauntlet?
The attention of everyone who was learning magic was focused on my ‘recruitment of wizards under my direct control.’
I also focused on how to make a magic circle through videos. The number of views is breaking his record day by day.
Time passed so quickly.
Before I knew it, the scheduled interview date for the ‘direct wizard’ had arrived. We decided to rent the lower floor of Alchemia’s office and use it as an interview room.
“Now, there are three parts we need to judge.”
I explained. In front of me, the judges Jeong Seo-jin, Jin Jin-ra, and Eun-sol stood holding their respective papers.
“First, do you perfectly use at least two of the three basic magics that are the standards we have revealed? That is the most important thing. If you do not meet this standard, you will be disqualified without exception.”
“yes!”
Everyone nodded.
“Second, the accuracy and speed of magic. When drawing a magic circle, we will see how quickly and accurately we can create it.”
“A person who can use the seal method will almost certainly pass, right?”
Jin Jin-ra raised her hand and asked.
“That’s true. But no one will be able to use the seal method perfectly right now.”
“Oppa! Then is it important to be fast? Is it important to be accurate?”
That’s a good question. Sometimes Sol digs into the core like this.
“Accuracy. Accuracy is the most important. In practice, missing a magic circle is truly fatal. Next to accuracy is speed. Even so, if you sit in the same place all day drawing magic circles, it’s a bit of a problem, isn’t it? So, you just have to filter out people who think the speed is too slow.”
“yea, I got it!”
The other two people also nodded.
“And the third is individuality. Although they were busy learning magic, they are people who added their own unique alpha. Do you know what I mean?”
“yes!”
After I finished speaking, I looked at Jeong Seo-jin. He said, pushing up his glasses.
“The three things the tower owner mentioned earlier are the magic part, and now what I’m talking about is the personality aspect that needs to be considered.”
“yes.”
“First is loyalty.”
Jin Jin-ra smiled slightly.
“What army is this?”
“This is a very important issue due to the nature of the closed organization called the Magic Tower. There is no need for people who do not absolutely obey the tower owner. And secondly, the mindset and confidence to constantly innovate…”
I decided to just leave this part to Jeong Seo-jin.
“Ugh. I’m so excited!”
Jin Jin-ra said, replenishing her sugar with honey snacks.
“I can’t believe I’m an interview judge! I can’t believe I’m in a position to evaluate others!”
“Do you have any experience with interviews?”
“Of course! Everyone saw it when we entered the academy!”
I scratched my head. I had an interview at that time, but I didn’t remember anything about it because I felt like I passed smoothly. On the other hand, Jin Jin-ra was shaking her shoulders as if she felt terrible.
“When I entered school, the pressure interview was no joke! A professor looked at my resume and asked, ‘Isn’t there a problem if your father graduated from elementary school?’ Just like this!”
“Uh, really? That’s a bit…”
“When I looked at the application photo, the student’s face was very different from the photo. When I asked if they were the same person, the girl started crying and ran away!”
“…Isn’t that not pressure, but disparaging one’s appearance?”
At that time, Eunsol, who was looking out the window, shouted.
“Oppa! Look over there! A lot of people have come!”
I followed Eunsol and looked out the window.
Jinbo and I both exclaimed in exclamation. It was crowded.
‘… … Hahaha. I think this will take all day.’

Completed understanding of situation. There were far more applicants than expected.
Since we couldn’t block traffic with lines, we rented the main auditorium in the basement of the building for a day and sent people there. Even Alchemia employees have been mobilized to help us.
The underground auditorium filled up quickly, and those who came late had to stand or sit on the floor because there were no seats.
“Applicants, come this way! Come this way! Yes, don’t push in front!”
Jin Jin-ra seemed really excited. She personally lined up people and led the guidance.
I met with Jeong Seo-jin behind the stage in the auditorium and discussed measures.
“Seojin, this is only for morning interviewees, right?”
“yes.”
“It’s too much. I need to filter it out a little.”
Jeong Seo-jin blinked.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think all these people came in with qualifications?”
After saying that, I went straight up to the auditorium stage. Looking at it this way, there really are a lot. People who were busy rolling circles or drawing magic circles in the air looked at me in surprise.
“excuse me!”
“Ki, it’s Kim Yu-shin!”
Waaaaaaaaaaa!
Really, I had no idea my popularity would be this much. If I had heard it from outside, I would have thought a bomb had exploded.

I turned on the wireless microphone and calmed down the volunteers who were chanting my name.
“Thank you for your support. My name is Yushin Kim.”
When the surroundings became quiet, I took a quick look at the applicants. It was meaningless to differentiate by gender or age. People of all kinds. There were people outside of the military, licenses, and even certified hunters, and a lot of foreigners came.
“I’ll be honest with you.”
I fixed the microphone.
“I admit that the conditions were a bit unreasonable. Please don’t be too upset if you fail this time. Even after this interview, I plan to continue recruiting new wizards.”
There was a murmur once. Cheers erupted occasionally.
“So, if you don’t meet the conditions, please go back.”
The once lively auditorium was suddenly filled with so much silence that you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.
“I’ll say it again. You can build the 1st circle and cast at least two of the three basic spells. If you don’t meet these minimum standards, we ask you to come back.”
Murmur.
“If there is an interviewee who does not meet the standards, we will check and ensure that they are not selected for the next interview. This is a matter of trust.”
Yes, I know how desperate you are. Some people may have come here to seize an opportunity that may only come once. His ability to act is highly regarded.
But there are more opportunities, so don’t worry, and if you think you’re not up to par, try the next opportunity. No matter how urgent it is, manipulating specifications is not a good idea, right?
I don’t want to be betrayed after trusting and hiring someone.
I continued speaking while looking at the people making noise.
“In magic, it is more important than anything to build solid basics. It is normal to still be in the first circle. Just because you did not pass this interview does not mean you will be left behind as a magician.”
People are still hesitating.
I took a deep breath.
“There is no need to fret. If you think you are not qualified, please return. And I urge you to thoroughly hone your basic skills and take on the challenge next time.”
Sreuk. Sreuk.
Only then did the people who had been paying attention started to stand up one by one.
About half of the applicants leave like an ebb and flow. I feel like I can breathe a little more now.
“Then, interviews with the remaining people will start at nine o’clock.”
I smiled as I lowered the schedule list in my hand.
“I’ll see you up there.”
* * *
“One group, please come in!”
The interview has begun.
Five people per group entered the interview room. One group consists of four men and one woman. Waiting candidates with nervous expressions are sitting in a neat posture with their backs straightened. And the person whose name was called came to the front.
“Mr. Youngho Kang?”
“Yes! I’m Kang Young-ho, applicant number 32! It’s an honor to meet Hunter Kim Yu-shin!”
“Yes, nice to meet you too.”
I looked at his resume.
“You have good qualifications. Licensed for 5 years, belong to a fixed party, have experience hunting irregulars, and have taken the official exam 3 times.”
“Yes! I am confident in my career.”
This time, Jin Jin-ra, sitting next to me, asked while flipping her hair.
“Your unique ability is magic concentration? It’s a mana manipulation type ability. Does this have any synergy with magic?”
“It is possible to extremely concentrate mana at one point. When used in conjunction with a circle, the power of the magic itself can be greatly increased.”
“Oh oh.”
Jin Jin-ra and I looked into each other’s eyes and nodded.
‘This is a strong candidate from the beginning.’
We were interested, so we asked several questions, and Kang Young-ho, who was confident, answered quickly. The more this happened, the more the expressions on the faces of the other people sitting in the waiting area became darker.
“Then, now I would like you to demonstrate magic.”
“yes!”
Kang Young-ho prepared two magic tricks. Mana Arrow and Shield.
When I unfolded the shield, I had Mana Arrow shoot there, and as for the shield, I tried to throw Mana Arrow with minimal power.
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
Beginner wizards who were not familiar with the painting method had to draw a magic circle with their fingers while whining in the air.
Still, it wasn’t bad for Kang Young-ho as he relaxed from the middle and picked up speed.
After watching both magic demonstrations, I gave a brief review as a magic tower master.
“It was good to use Mana Arrow’s unique ability. However, although the output is good, the sustaining power is not enough. If the sustaining power is low, the magic’s range becomes extremely short.”
“ah……!”
“Rather than trying to forcefully use your cohesion ability, I think you should practice adding synergy after strengthening the basics.”
“Thank you for the helpful advice!”
Youngho Kang bowed ninety degrees. The other applicants were watching him with expressions of half envy and half impatience. I said while looking at Jeong Seo-jin.
“Do you have anything to ask?”
Jeong Seo-jin nodded and opened the documents. Wow, you have more data than us?
“Youngho Kang. You’ve moved seven guilds so far.”
“……!”
Youngho Kang’s expression hardened slightly.
“Ah. That’s because the guild culture doesn’t suit me…”
“Is that so? Afterwards, he completely left the guild and joined a regular party, but he moved here as many as 20 times.”
“Ah, no, that’s not it! Doesn’t everyone do that these days? They change affiliations often…”
“Mr. Youngho Kang.”
Jeong Seo-jin had an expressionless face, but his eyes were scary.
“I’m not saying, ‘These days. Everyone.’ I’m curious as to why Youngho Kang had to change his affiliation so often.”
The friendly atmosphere of the interview room suddenly became cold.
“And next.”
Jeong Seo-jin saw the new document.
“I took the official exam three times, and one of them failed due to cheating.”
The color drained from Youngho Kang’s face.
“The reason for being eliminated… is outrageous. The competitor’s drinking water contained a banned substance… Can I ask why?”
Kang Young-ho’s face turned extremely red. The other applicants were also glaring at him with strange expressions.
“If you don’t want to answer, you can go back to your seat.”
In the end, Kang Young-ho couldn’t open his mouth even once, and bowed with a red face and returned to his seat.
“Then, please come forward as the next applicant.”
The applicants’ fearful gaze turned to Jeong Seo-jin.
