Only I Am Magic Tower Chapter 137
“The demons and the monsters are a team with the same purpose. And some demons even have the authority to control the monsters. What if the demon and the army commander Selegma negotiated? I can see the picture.”
Hongyeon nodded with a serious face. At that time, the conference room door burst open.
“Oh my, you guys are so motivated, maybe because you’re young. What are you so busy about?”
Jiang Wei, who lives next door to us, appeared in the conference room. Afterwards, other hunters hurriedly came in and sat down.
In addition to the hunters, generals leading the Tanzanian army also attended the meeting. This leadership meeting is in fact the core of leading the Tanzanian front.
The meeting began 30 minutes after the originally scheduled time. Commander Julian, who sat at the highest table, spoke.
“Everyone is working hard to carry out their assigned roles in the hot weather. Before the full-scale meeting, I would like to introduce two hunters who were recently dispatched to the Tanzania front.”
Julian gave me a look, and Hongyeon and I jumped up from our seats.
“They are still young, but they are great hunters. They have already proven their skills in Kisowa. This is Kim Yu-shin, level 3, and this is Hong Yeon, level 3.”
Clap clap clap.
The hunters clapped, and we bowed our heads.
That was the end of it. She didn’t feel particularly welcome. However, it doesn’t feel like they’re being cautious or intentionally mistreating you.
They applauded soullessly with gunless eyes. They just have no motivation, no expectations, or any thoughts about us.
“Then let’s start the meeting.”
The following meeting had the same atmosphere.
“Charlie Level 4, what about point B1?”
“Nothing wrong.”
“Scorpion Level 4, what about the mountain defense line?”
“There’s nothing wrong, but it looks like it’s going to get dangerous soon with the 3 centurions from the plant joining us this time.”
“General Augustine. Could you send additional reinforcements to the mountain defense line?”
“We’ll look into it.”
“Okay. Then next time…”
As I listened quietly with my chin resting, I discovered a pattern during the meeting.
Hlian asks the hunters and executives in the area in charge if there are any abnormalities. Most report ‘no abnormalities’.
If anything goes wrong, Julian asks the general of the Tanzanian regular army if support is possible, and the general says he will look into it. Repeat this infinitely.
Perhaps the review is just words and no real action. The general did not even check and just repeated the word ‘review’ like a machine.
Other hunters were busy dozing off or doing other things after their turns were over. There was no atmosphere to specifically stop this. It’s just like that. I had a strong feeling that it was a formal meeting.
“Then let’s move on to the next matter.”
Julian said, holding up a piece of paper. On the other side, the ink on the document written in Swahili was smudged.
“New instructions have come from the World Hunter Federation. It is an order to quickly drive out the monsters and occupy the city ‘Linda’.”
“Here we go again!”
“What do people who just sit at their desks know about the field?”
Sighs and complaints erupted from everywhere. Julian shushed them.
“Uh huh, quiet! Quiet! If there is any way to take over Linda, please tell us.”
If it has been a recent talk, now it is a full-fledged meeting. Just then, a Certified Level 5 Hunter raised his arm.
“Now that we have secured Kisowa, we have a chance of winning. Let’s gather Kisowa’s troops here at point B5 and then take the mountainous route rather than the flat route where the Living Fields are spread out. Like this…”
He himself placed his finger on the map and marked the route.
“The living field has not fully expanded on the mountainous terrain. We are attacking Rinda directly by crossing this mountain!”
“Ah, ah. That’s coming again. It’s level 5.”
Jiang Wei, who was watching with his arm supporting the back of his head, intervened.
“Are the monsters stupid? If our power is lost there, here, at point B2, it will be dangerous. An attack will come this way.”
“Huh? Ha, but…!”
Other hunters who had been quiet also immediately began to refute.
“If you use Kisowa’s forces, you will be attacked by commanders from other regions. There is a risk that Kisowa, which you have gained, will be taken away again.”
“If you go up the mountain, what will you do if monsters surround you? If you run out of food, you will starve to death, and if you send out troops to save this from Mutwara, the rebels and monsters will attack Mutwara because they like it?”
“It’s an unrealistic operation.”
In response to the influx of criticism, Hunter, who had expressed his opinion, closed his mouth with a stern expression and sat down in his seat.
“Then next comment.”
Julian asked for the next opinion, but everyone was reluctant to say anything after seeing the precedent of getting excitedly beaten for giving an opinion.
As time passed helplessly, Julian urged us to reluctantly come up with a few opinions.
However, if there is only one opinion, the number of people criticizing the opinion is more than ten.
“You idiot! If you do that, the monsters will stay still!”
In particular, Jiang Wei was in charge of operational crackdowns. He criticized it very harshly. All the opinions presented disappeared with the words ‘unfeasible’ and ‘unrealistic’.
‘This is a bit too much.’
What kind of strategy can be achieved in an atmosphere where it is clearly said that it cannot be done? Just like that, the meeting time passed helplessly, and the hunters were shaking their butts as if they were asking them to let them go quickly.
Finally, Julian sighed and said.
“Then, for now, we will strengthen our respective defenses and watch the situation a little more.”
In other words, it means ‘nothing has changed’.
When the end of the meeting was announced, the hunters left the meeting hall like a low tide.
Hunters who have lost hope and are suffering from a sense of defeat cannot feel any will.
When someone spreads negative thoughts, it is so easily contagious. Even if we offer hope, we first think about the pain when that hope is broken.
What made them so helpless?
Everyone left and now only me, Hongyeon, and Karim were left in the conference room. Karim bowed his head.
“I feel shameful. When Samia was around, it wasn’t like this…”
“Samia?”
“Ah, yes. I am a certified level 3 hunter from Tanzania.”
“There was another level 3 other than Commander Julian?”

“yes.”
Karim explained. A pair of wings representing Tanzania.
Certified Level 3 Black Wing Samia.
Certified Level 3 Baekik Erasto.
“What happened to such great people now?”
Hongyeon asked.
“Erasto joined the rebel army.”
“ah……”
“And Samia was captured by the rebels two weeks ago.”
… … It’s a total mess.
Even if we join forces to fight the monsters, it’s not enough, and what little strength we have is lost due to internal strife.
“senior.”
“hmm?”
“Are we really going to stay like this?”
Her powerful brown eyes were asking me to make a decision.
I answered with a smile.
“Are you going to let it go? Of course I have to turn it all over.”
Hongyeon nodded with satisfaction.
“For now, let’s just cool off today. I’ll plan a plan where you can be active.”
“Okay. Mr. Karim, will you help me too?”
“Yes? Oh, yes! For Tanzania… But what are you going to do?”
I looked back at her and said.
“We will eat the Tanzania command center. We need to clean the inside first before we catch the monster.”
* * *
After the meeting, we returned to our accommodation.
I was thinking about getting some rest now, but Hongyeon came running into my room in a huff.
‘When will the barrier be installed? senior.’
He grabbed my arm and begged me, even pretending to be cute, which didn’t suit me at all.
It seems he really hates cockroaches. Eventually I was brought to her room.
‘You have to do what you do properly. Hey, please capture the bugs in this room.’
-Start capturing. Stage 3 vital reactions.
It’s a bit weird to use the world’s best artificial intelligence to catch bugs, but it’s also important anyway.
I removed the three cockroaches hiding under the furniture using ignition magic as before, and then started work after the room was clean.
Since it was already done, it was designed with a solid 3-process magic. Like a shield, create a mana barrier based on the ‘Rune of Hardening’, spread it out to the size of the room, and attach it to the wall tightly to secure it.
– Top owner. But isn’t there something strange about doing this?
“Oh, you can’t go out!”
While Hongyeon was watching, I made a hole in the barrier and started the detailed work. Doors and windows had to be open.
After about 30 minutes of research and whining, I completed it. This is a cockroach barrier just for Hongyeon.
“That’s enough. As long as you put up screens on the windows and close the doors, you won’t have to worry about cockroaches for a while.”
At this time, the expression on her face as she looked up at me with her hands together was like that of a believer who had seen the savior.
“I survived! Thank you so much!”
It was a voice full of sincerity.
“Oh, and I have one thing to tell you. If you break the barrier with a strong struggle or rough movement.”
“Well, that won’t happen!”
“Anyway, if something like that happens, put your hand on the magic circle here.”
To demonstrate, I had Hongyeon put her hand on the magic circle.
“Now, let the mana flow. Yes, good. Can you feel the shape of the barrier?”
“yes.”
“If it breaks like now, you can just place your hand here and give it mana.”
“This is detailed service. Thank you again.”
She bowed politely and smiled shyly.
“If I hadn’t come with my senior, I would have been in big trouble.”
Oh my gosh, this guy feels my worth in a bug shield.
“Would you like to have dinner? The meals provided at the hotel are unpleasant, so let’s go to a restaurant outside. I’ll take care of it.”
“Thank you for the offer, but I’m fine. I don’t have an appetite and I’m tired, so I’m going to sleep early. If anything happens, please contact me via chat.”
“By chat?”
“Ugh. Just chat.”
“all right.”
I returned to my room after seeing her off.
‘Then let me start too!’
This time it’s a magic circle for myself. A warp magic circle directly connected to the Magic Tower. Once you make it, you can go back and forth three or four times without difficulty.
‘Ah. Then, print out a copy of the dimension-linked magic circle drawing.’
-Yes, top owner.
After practicing a few times, I was able to draw without difficulty. Still, I feel it, but the dimensional world is difficult.
It had to be calculated using a spatial formula based on the mana coordinates, which required quite three-dimensional space perception ability and a high-level formula design ability.
It took about 40 minutes to complete it. I locked the door and closed the window, then with a trembling heart I put both feet on the magic circle.
“Wow!”
My body feels like I’m on a roller coaster and is swept away by a tremendous sense of speed. My vision was spinning. It feels like being sucked into a narrow sewer in the fourth dimension.
When I rolled my eyes, I saw a space where all the colors in the world were chaotically mixed together, as if I had entered an abstract painting.
Hwaak
When the strange sense of speed ended, I opened my eyes. The warp gate portal was open behind me, and the surrounding area was full of things that looked like constellations. It is a 5th floor dimension building.
“I’m back!”
I spread my arms and cheered. Ea appeared next to me in a halo of light.
“The first dimensional magic was a huge success.”
“Good job EA too.”
We vigorously pressed our palms together and came down to the first floor. There is a bubbling sound and a delicious smell.
“Oh, I’m a senior! Are you here?”
Jin-ra Jin, wearing an apron, was stirring a pot on an electric stove with a ladle.
“What is that?”
“Kimchi stew. I’ll be here soon so I told you to boil it?”
“and!”
I was so moved that I couldn’t forget the words. Even though you are stationed in Africa, you can return to Korea and eat Korean food in seconds!
“You came just in time. Please sit there.”
“huh!”
She placed a stand in front of the table and placed a pot on it.
“It’s hot, so be careful.”
And the moment I opened the lid of the pot, heaven unfolded with rising steam.
kimchi soup! Is this really kimchi stew? A surge of intense emotion flooded me.
“I’ll eat well!”
I started eating the stew hungrily. Jin Jin-ra did her chin rest next to her and watched me eat.
“It’s delicious, right? It’s delicious, right?”
“It’s the best! You should eat some too.”
“I already had dinner. It’s 11 p.m. in Seoul now.”
“Oh, by the way, it must be late in Korea.”
“Oppa!”
Eunsol came rushing out of the magic circle elevator. She raised her arms as if asking for a hug.
“How was our Sol?”
I put down the spoon, picked her up, and sat her on my lap.
“huh!”
“What did you do when you’re still not asleep?”
“I slept a lot this morning! I can’t sleep!”
The dream environment is a real problem. Like Cho Yong-hee, Eunsol was a case where she had some inconveniences in her daily life due to her unique abilities.
“Sol. Come here!”
Jin Jin-ra brought Eun-sol into her arms.
“If you disturb my brother while he’s eating, I can’t use it. Okay?”
“huh!”
“Ah, senior. Please tell me about Africa while you eat! How was your deployment?”
“Don’t even talk about it. Every day was no joke.”
I finished my kimchi stew while telling stories of various adventures. It was a truly satisfying meal. I thanked Jin Jin-ra once again.
“What do you want to eat next? Tteokbokki? Gochujang bibimbap? Kimchi pancake? Just tell me!”
“Hmm, there are too many. If I think of something I want to eat in Tanzania, I’ll let you know.”
“great!”
“The 4th floor team has all left work, right?”
“I guess they’re still on the fourth floor?”
I had a blank expression.
“It’s 11 o’clock at night? Why are you all here instead of getting off work?”
“Ahaha! I don’t know. Those people are really passionate, right? Even when I tell them to go home, they refuse to go home, saying they will just do this. What should I do?”
“But you also keep sleeping in the tower these days.”
“Hehe, I’m lying and saying I’m on a business trip to a dungeon, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Why do my family members like their jobs so much? It’s such a mystery. Even if you tell them to go home, everyone tends to sleep in the tower.
“Then I’ll go to the 4th floor and say hello.”
“Yes! Come back!”
“Come back! It’s my brother!”
I took the magic circle elevator and arrived at the weather planning bureau on the 4th floor. I saw Na Daeyong lying on a blanket on the floor and Cho Yonghee putting together the formula for a field magic. Cho Yong-hee looked at me and said in surprise.
“Hey, CEO Kim?”
“what?”
Daeyong Na, who was lying on the blanket, jumped up and shouted with an expression of emotion.
“Master! When did you come back!”
Na Daeyong’s loud shouts made even the female members in the room run out.
There are a few rooms on the 4th floor, but they seem to be occupied by women. Cha Do-yeon was wearing a hair cap, and Kim Sarang was wearing a mask pack, as they were getting ready for bed.
“Welcome! President Kim!”
“When did you arrive? Are you injured?”
“Look at how tanned your skin is already.”
I was surrounded by everyone. I wish they could talk to each person one at a time, but they are chattering from all directions, so I can’t concentrate. I first calmed everyone down and said,
“Is everyone worth their work?”
“yes!”
“Ah, CEO! We also had an important incident!”
Cha Do-yeon smiled as she said that and then turned her gaze to Na Dae-yong. Na Daeyong said with a big smile.
“I wanted to show it to Master first!”
