Only I Am Magic Tower Chapter 162
After finishing the press conference Q&A, I entered the command building again. As I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, a black wave rose from the floor and took the shape of a human being.
“……You’re bold. A rookie.”
Night Walker said.
“What?”
“Rejecting the demands of the World Federation and inviting disaster upon yourself. The Federation will not forget this incident.”
“The federation is the one who brought the trouble upon itself.”
I waved my finger left and right.
“They made a mistake and sent a strange guy, and 40,000 people, including me, almost died, and you’re just going to cover it up without saying anything? Even though you have omnipotent power, isn’t that a bit too much?”
“In the end, nothing happened. If Hakan had been transported as instructed, the Federation would have given you appropriate compensation.”
“There’s no need for that.”
He said firmly.
“What I want is Hakan’s punishment. That’s all. More than anything, I think we have upheld our line.”
They did not disclose to reporters the fact that the Federation’s second-class hunter had stormed in, ready to take Hakan by force.
Night Walker did not respond this time, but quietly raised the corners of his mouth.
“What did Hongyeon do?”
“I didn’t do anything. You would know.”
In fact, one of the reasons for not revealing Night Walker’s identity was the risk of preventing an unfortunate situation from happening.
The worst thing for the Night Walkers would be if the world found out that the Federation was trying to forcibly transport Hakan. But I gave room for that to not happen, and the more I do that, the safer Hongyeon becomes.
Night Walker has no choice but to try to protect the space I gave him.
“As expected, you’re bold.”
Night Walker repeated the same words and let out a long sigh.
“I will skip it this time. It is for the benefit of the Federation. But as I said before, the Federation will not forget this incident. Be careful not to draw too much attention.”
“I will gratefully accept your advice.”
Night Walker crossed his arms and looked at me.
“Right now, you are doing everything you want with your youthful spirit… but the day will come when you too will hit the wall of reality.”
“Then let’s break through that wall too, okay?”
I smiled at him.
“You don’t know what I have yet.”
“…….”
Night Walker stood up.
“I will watch. Kim Yu-shin.”
His body was engulfed in black liquid and disappeared.
* * *
It was an unexpected situation for a level 2 veteran official to attack, but everyone was safe.
As promised, Night Walker quietly disappeared from Mutwara before the Federation reporters noticed, taking Hakan with him.
Hakan Abdullah’s story spread around the world.
In fact, public opinion boiled over as it was revealed to the world that Hakan was the majority shareholder of the global military company PHC and that he intended to kill 40,000 soldiers fighting in Africa for the benefit of PHC.
Everything goes according to plan.
In world public opinion, African abandonmentists were all lumped together and treated as the same type as Hakan.
An inevitable choice? Pursuing efficiency?
Not anymore. There was a widespread perception that they were just money-crazed trash.
A witch hunt broke out on the net.
In the meantime, the faces of celebrities who advocated giving up on Africa were recirculated and even made into a list. The parties involved locked down their social media accounts, resigned from public positions, and were busy quietly disappearing.
The federation also moved quickly.
Not only Hakan, but also the high-ranking officials within the alliance who had appointed Hakan as the dispatched commander were arrested one after another and made to sit on the trial bench.
[We, the World Hunter Federation, will not abandon our member countries no matter what. The same applies to member countries in Africa. We dispatched a 20,000-strong contingent to Africa and helped drive out Tabez.]
[We are deeply concerned that this good resolution is being tainted by a very small number of ‘African abandonmentists’ within the Federation. Our Federation will exclude all people whose thoughts run counter to our pure guidelines of world peace, and will do our best to come up with countermeasures.]
The federation also has a lot to say.
The interpretation is, ‘We were trying to protect Africa. Please don’t criticize us.’ That’s about it.
The Federation will have no choice but to impose a serious crime on Hakan in order to survive.
This incident led to a global boycott of PHC, a leading global military company. The stock price plummeted, and customers even lost money, leading to a complete downfall.
Aside from the Hakan problem, the Suez defense line is now virtually meaningless as Africa has been liberated from a deep-rooted catastrophe.
In this way, the first overseas deployment of my career ended successfully.
‘Africa is also over now.’
I am lying in the hostel matrix.
Thinking that this musty, smelly room is over, I feel somewhat relieved.
“Hey, Kim Yu-shin!”
Quang!
The person who burst through the door without knocking was Han Yun-jeong. She was wearing comfortable everyday clothes, not her usual luxurious golden armor.
“Uh, didn’t you go back to Egypt?”
“I took the gravekeepers away for a moment and then came back!”
“why?”
“that……”
As she was about to answer, she suddenly looked at me with a sullen expression.
“What! Can’t I come here?”
“No, why is the story going like that again?”
“Wow, really! I’m so sad that I can’t live! I did my best to save it, but then I sat there thinking, ‘Why did you come?’”

“I didn’t say anything like that.”
She came striding over and glared at me.
Brown skin, jet-black hair, a tall and curvaceous body that was superior. Nevertheless, the eyes, face, and expression look exactly like Han Yun-jeong.
Suddenly I burst into laughter.
“…Why are you splitting the yarn again?”
“It’s nothing. Is living in Egypt worth it?”
“It’s worth it, but I feel like I’m going to die of stress.”
Han Yun-jeong was in conflict with the Egyptian Council of Elders.
Even though the Council of Elders recognized her as Pharaoh, we know that she is actually an ordinary Korean female college student. So, he tried to restrain her in various ways, and often ignored her, criticizing her orthodoxy.
Han Yun-jeong, who had a temperament in his own way, began to walk his own path instead of obeying the council of elders.
Previously, Menes had an arrogant and greedy personality, but recently, he gained the support of the people due to Han Yun-jeong’s civil administration policies and active movements in all matters. The fight between the pharaoh and the council of elders will likely continue for some time.
“But the thing you used on us was useful. A spell that prevents monsters from coming over.”
“Are you talking about field magic?”
“Ugh. That’s it. Can’t we keep using it in Egypt?”
I held out my palm.
“It will be 10 billion won.”
“개새끼야!”
“Why are you doing this? Don’t you know business?”
Han Yun-jeong shook her shoulders like someone who felt betrayed.
“Wow! They say they’re doing business these days and they’re all snobs, really! Is this something that happens between friends?”
“That friend has to make a living too. Do you know how difficult it is to create field magic? Oh, and the barrier I just used is only for one month, so be careful. After 30 days, all the monsters will flock in. Let’s clean it up before that.”
She crossed her arms with a sullen expression.
“10 billion, right?”
Are you really going to give it to me?
“Please give me 500 million won as a friend discount. How about 9.5 billion won?”
“Okay 9.9 billion.”
“Hey! Are you really going to be so petty? 9.6 billion.”
“9.8 billion.”
She, who was passionate about Hongjeong, suddenly bursts into laughter! And she burst into laughter.
“Suddenly, a sense of disconnect arises! Isn’t it so funny that the kids who were running up Mt. Acha not long ago were mumbling?”
“That’s right. Things around us have changed a lot.”
I smiled and supported the back of my head with my arm.
“Now that I think about it, did you tell me about Choi Eun-oh coming during the wizard interview?”
“Eun-oh? Choi Eun-oh? That girlfriend’s friend? Ahahaha! I miss you! What is she doing these days?”
While we were reminiscing about our academy days and talking about various things, we heard a smart, polite knock on the door outside.
“Yes, come in.”
“Excuse me.”
The door opened and Hongyeon came inside.
“Senior. The Tanzanian hunters want to have an after-party for drinks before they return to Korea… Ah!”
Hongyeon’s eyes widened brightly. Before I knew it, Han Yun-jeong was lying down next to me, unbuttoning her top. Hong Yeon’s face turned red and she looked at me and Han Yun-jeong alternately.
“Pa, Pharaoh!”
“Hello, hello, Commander.”
Han Yun-jeong waved her hand happily.
“Why is Pharaoh in your room…?”
“Why? Can’t I come?”
Why has he been acting so crooked since a while ago? I put my hand on Han Yun-jeong’s head and stood up. Han Yun-jeong was making a lot of noise below.
“Of course we have to go to the after-party for drinks. You guys are going too, right?”
“yes!”
“I don’t turn down free alcohol.”
We went out.
At that moment, numerous tables were spread out in front of the Tanzania command building, and people were grilling meat.
There was also that retired soldier I saw at the pub the other day, and he was stacking up a lot of liquor kegs.
“Today’s heroes have arrived!”
Samia, who was grilling meat, said with a grin. The Tanzanian military cheered and welcomed us.
The faces you see often: Scorpion, Marta, Charlie, Jiang Wei, and even new hunters. Many of the soldiers’ faces are now quite familiar.
I walked around and talked to everyone.
To briefly introduce the current situation, Scorpion has decided to remain in Tanzania. Now he seemed to have become attached to this country and wanted to settle down there.
Even without Tabes, the threat of the dungeon remains, so the more hunters there are, the better it will be for the people here.
Marta was recognized for her contribution in this war and decided to join the World Alliance as a Hunter.
Her snake was bigger than when I first saw it. She said that the next time I see her she will be at Level 3, same as me.
Charlie, who has piercings all over his body, is scouted by a large guild and leaves.
Nowadays, it seems like there is a premium attached to being from the Tanzania front line.
He offered to take me to a nice place one last time, but I declined with glares from both sides.
And Jiang Wei.
“I’m going back to China. Kim Yu-shin.”
He said, taking a gulp from his beer can.
“Are you just about to leave?”
“My time on deployment is over, and I don’t see you anymore anyway. If I tease you, you’ll stop talking too.”
“Of course.”
We sipped our beers in silence.
“Yes, Mr. X, you were right.”
Jiang Wei said with resignation.
“Isn’t the world all about results? I am a defeatist who is irritated by reality, and you have become pioneers and heroes.”
I burst out laughing.
“Why are you still picking it?”
“I’m just curious. All this time, I’ve been telling myself to face reality. But you’ve succeeded in everything I denied as unrealistic.”
Jiang Wei’s face was red, perhaps because of the alcohol.
“f*ck you with something made of luck… Well, I was too shabby to masturbate like that, so I couldn’t bear it. What is it? The secret.”
“What a secret, you idiot.”
I continued, glaring at Jiang Wei.
“You just don’t even try.”
“…….”
“Realistic? That’s good. That sense reduces risk. But trying to avoid failure is just cowardice. It’s better to be a dreamer than a coward.”
At that time, I hear Han Yun-jeong calling me from afar. I said, throwing the finished beer can into the trash can.
“Don’t be a coward. And if possible, let’s not meet again in the future.”
“……kick.”
I slowly walked away from him.
“thanks.”
When I heard those words from behind, I waved my hand without turning around.
