I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 170

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 170

We came into a restaurant that sells alcohol and food near the beach.

It was lucky that people escaped through the crack incident just now. As the only customers at this restaurant, we ordered rib eye steak, French fries, and beer and sat down across from each other.

“Once that person called Oracle appeared, things got easier.”

Hongyul said while sipping beer.

“They say they are keeping their identity completely secret and providing information only to the federation, government agencies, and hunter associations.”

Although it stung a little, I accepted the conversation without any problem.

“Then no one knows who he is?”

“Yes. In a way, that person is wise. He could reveal his identity and sell his power to enjoy wealth and fame, but the power of prophecy is too much power for one person to handle, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Not only will you be the target of demons, but you will also be the target of countless forces around the world. You will freeze to death, and in the future, to prevent it from being taken away by other forces, you will be locked in an underground bunker and given only nutritional supplements and water?”

“……haha.”

As expected, hiding one’s identity seemed to be the right answer. Even if the day comes when the identity of the Magic Tower is revealed to the public, I will have to hide the Oracle until the end.

“By the way, you said you were on vacation… but were you actually here to go hunting?”

“It’s like doing both the job and the job.”

“Why are you working so hard?”

This was a pure question.

She has already risen to the top rank in the world in the hunter world. She made enough money and had all her fame and power.

But she was traveling the world and fighting monsters almost to the point of obsession.

“Well, there’s no grand cause or sense of purpose.”

She shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression.

“In many ways, I am in a position to do things that others cannot. I try to protect the lives that I can reach as much as possible.”

“……ah.”

“If I step forward right now, I can save tens of thousands of lives, but if I give up because I’m tired or don’t have enough money or something like that, I’ll be in trouble, right?”

“okay.”

“Now that you have been deployed overseas to Africa, you must feel something.”

I nodded.

I can still vividly hear the voices of those fighting for their lives in Tanzania.

‘Even if the hunters don’t come, our alliance troops and citizen soldiers fight and risk their lives every day! ‘I endure each day with that hope as I desperately wait for the Hunter to come!’

Colonel Frederick said.

‘It’s a battle of patience. If you hold on and hold on, sometimes miracles like this fall from the sky.’

Captain Squall said.

How sad and miserable are the people who are fighting on the fiercest front lines and in the field, just hoping for a miracle to come.

Compared to that, I am lucky. At least, I am not the one hoping for a miracle, but the one trying to make it happen.

“If there is someone I can step forward to save, I do so willingly. So… that sense of duty has become a habit.”

“I respect you.”

“Not to the extent of hearing such words.”

She said, tapping her shoulder.

At that time, something like a red spark crackled and jumped out of her hand. I stared at it.

“what’s the matter?”

“I’m curious about the Association President’s abilities.”

“Oh, this?”

She snaps her fingers and Padit! And red sparks flew out.

The Association President’s unique ability, Red Light.

Among the rarest source magic abilities in the hunter world, it is a power specialized for tearing and splitting enemies. however.

“Hongyeondo uses almost the same power as the association president?”

“Oh, that? I trained you.”

“Training…? Is the unique ability the type of power that can be learned through training?”

“Yeon’s unique ability was explained to me once before, right?”

I nodded. It is said that if you pick up a tree branch and swing it a few times, you will develop sword skills. That monster-like power.

“I injected red light into Yeon’s body.”

“Wait a minute! If you do something like that…!”

“Yes, an ordinary person would most likely die. But as you know, Yeon is special. We continued to inject her with red energy and made her adapt to the power to the point where she could not die.”

For a moment, I felt her eyes were even more fearful and eerie.

“I trained like that for almost several months. It was the first time and it was so hard that I lost my mind a few times, but little by little, I got used to the unfamiliar environment. Then, at some point, I acquired the trait.”

“That is the red light. It is not a unique ability, but a power expressed as a characteristic.”

“That’s right. But do you know what’s funny?”

Hongyul looked down at his hands and smiled strangely.

“The power I gained through that trait is almost no different from the original.”

“How could that…”

“On the contrary, I would say that she is better than me in terms of potential. Yeon’s power goes beyond the level of simple learning.”

At this point, I too am curious. What exactly is Hongyeon’s ‘guardian’ ability?

“The food you ordered has arrived.”

“come!”

The food came out just when the atmosphere was starting to get too serious.

We tried steak and seafood. As expected from the first restaurant that pops up when you search on the Internet, all the food we ordered melted in our mouths.

The crack situation was lifted, but people still did not come to the beach, perhaps because they were very surprised by the crack a little while ago.

The owner said that the ingredients had to be thrown away after a day, and offered us various seafood dishes as a service.

Instead, the president of the association decided to personally sign the store. As she scribbled her signature on her paper, this time her owner looked at me.

“May I have your autograph?”

Huh, me too?

“You’re a Warlock. Right?”

As I was dazed, the president of the association laughed loudly and patted my back.

“Go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go!”

I don’t know why this person is more excited.

Anyway, whatever. It is true that it feels ticklingly good. I also signed a blank piece of paper and handed it over.

The store owner was very satisfied and even framed it and hung it on the wall.

Among the autographs signed by many celebrities, the autographs of the president of the association and mine were hung side by side.

“Oh!”

She said, wiping her mouth with a tissue as she was mindlessly eating seafood.

“Now let me hear your story. A promise is a promise.”

“Oh, thank you!”

“Again, you will only listen to what I can?”

“Sure.”

Today, I was in a daze because the president of the association had me emotionally and physically manipulated, but I gathered my composure again.

It’s time to get back into business mode.

“First, I would like to simplify the approval process for the guild I will soon be establishing and approve it as soon as possible.”

“What, are you going to create a guild?”

“Yes, with a concept like a wizards’ guild.”

“Good?”

She put her chin on the back of her hand and said while thinking.

“Um, okay okay. I think I can handle this somehow under my authority. What’s next?”

“Secondly, I would like a new department dedicated to wizards to be established within the association.”

This time she said haha! I laughed out loud.

“Hey, that seems like a bit of an unreasonable request. Even if you are an African hero, can you ask for something as important as creating a department within the Hunter Association?”

“It’s not a request.”

I was waiting. I took out her documents from her briefcase and spread them out in front of her.

“What?”

“This is an official proposal to establish a new department dedicated to wizards.”

“hmm.”

She took the document and started reading it and I explained.

“Korea’s greatest potential has always been its human resources. That was true both before and after the overlay.”

“yes.”

“However, Korea is one of the countries with the smallest land area relative to its population. Because the territory is small, there are limits to the ability to accommodate hunting grounds and field dungeons.”

“that’s right.”

“There is an abundance of manpower, but hunting grounds that can develop that manpower into hunters are holding us back. But the case of wizards is special.”

I continued the story as I had prepared in advance.

Unlike traditional combat abilities who must gain experience at the hunting ground, wizards have the advantage of being able to grow to a certain extent through magic training.

Due to the nature of Korea, where hunting grounds are limited, the need to foster magicians at the national level was appealed.

“The threat of monsters and disasters continues to increase, but the number of combat-related talents who can ‘carry’ on the battlefield is limited. In this situation, non-combat talents are like a blue ocean! An unscratched lottery ticket. It will not be long before the global “As a trend, there will come a time when we can only survive by nurturing non-combat talents beyond the saturated combat talent market.”

The tongue turns as if powered by a motor.

Am I speaking correctly?

Is she being persuaded?

I do not know. But right now, I’m just doing my best as I practiced.

“From the beginning, Korea has had a strength in education. If Korea’s magic boom accelerates, high-quality magicians will come out in two to three years. And I think a government agency to manage and support them is essential. For Korea to become a magic powerhouse. For you.”

I gasped and drank a glass of water.

I’m nervous.

She didn’t react at all, just staring intently at the document I handed her.

“Who made this?”

“Huh? Oh, a friend who works under me made it.”

“He’s got good skills. That guy.”

She gathered and organized the documents well.

“I’ll take this to the association. I’ll have to review these materials at the next opportunity.”

“Oh, thank you!”

“I’m quite persuaded. You can look forward to the results here. You said you had three requests, right? So what’s the last one?”

I’m hesitating whether to do this or not. The atmosphere isn’t bad, so I’ll give it a try.

“Please eliminate the ‘outside of power’ system in the hunter world.”

“Hoo.”

Han Yun-jeong and I really gritted our teeth because of that guy’s ‘outside of his power’ label.

“The reason is?”

“The power-extra system was a system to control young people who engaged in unreasonable monster hunting before the concept of hunters was fully established. However, these days, hunting guidelines for individual abilities are clearly established, and monster strategies can be found on the Internet in detail. “I’ll tell you everything. It’s a very outdated system, and there are countless people suffering because of it.”

She nodded.

“That makes sense. I also recognize the need for reform as it is a very old system. But there will be a lot of opposition if we try to get rid of it.”

“Huh? Who?”

“Whoever it is, it’s all people who aren’t ‘out of power’.”

The association president crossed his arms.

“The number of players who cannot enter the dungeon due to evaluations other than power cannot be ignored. If these people enter the already narrow hunting ground, they will protest because the hunting ground will become more complicated.”

“Are they going to a guild or management and even go to an expensive Dungeon?”

“Hey, hey. Do you know that the public is such a rational animal? If they feel like they are going to lose money, they will bite like crazy.”

Well, it was an undeniable story.

“We will discuss this matter at the meeting, but if the internal opposition is too strong, there is nothing we can do.”

“All right.”

I also did not hope for radical social change due to the success of one overseas dispatch. The guild permission has been confirmed, and the president of the association has clearly convinced us to establish the Ministry of Magic, so we can look forward to it.

Now that I had finally relaxed, I drank beer after beer.

“……really.”

The president of the association, who was also enjoying a glass of wine, looked at me with strange eyes.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Because it’s special.”

She suddenly grabbed my cheek.

“Tongue, tongue loser?”

“I’m just watching, and this little thing only picks out pretty things. When other kids get the chance to ask me for something, they’re busy saying things like, please promote me, buy me equipment, give me money, etc.”

She let go of my cheek and smiled.

“This sister lives with the joy of seeing her relationship with you grow. Aljwii?”

“Okay, I appreciate it.”

“Okay then, raise your glass and make a toast!”

We drank heavily into the night and returned to Korea on a fighter plane at dawn the next day.
