I’m the Only Magic Tower Owner Episode 223
“Wow, it’s pretty. Where did such a big belly come from?”
Before I had returned to the waiting room proudly like a triumphal general, the president of the association was hugging me and patting me.
Even though she had reached the pinnacle of humanity and had become a second-class public figure capable of wielding real power in the world, her attitude toward me remained the same.
“The impact was clear! With this, Korea’s entry into the M10 is within sight!”
“There is still a long way to go. We will definitely achieve good results in the world guild screening.”
“Yes, yes! That’s my baby!”
She was hugging my body tightly, as if showing her determination not to let go of me. Ugh, I’m suffocating.
“The benefits of being a certified level 2 hunter are significant. They are incomparable to level 3.”
She explained in a quiet voice.
“If level 3 players are like representatives of guilds in each country or ace-level hunters, level 2 players feel like global heroes who work all over the world. If you want, you can go anywhere and do anything.”
“Ohh.”
My eyes sparkled.
“And no matter which front in the world you go to, you can be considered the commander-in-chief as you are a certified level 2 official. Hunter associations around the world will cooperate with your requests. The level will be different in every aspect.”
… … That was about it.
I only heard that level 2 was great. I had no idea that he had that much transcendent authority.
“Oh, and from level 2 onwards, it’s easier to think of it as finding your own work to do rather than following orders from superiors and doing it like homework.”
“I know what you mean.”
She looked at my face and spoke quite seriously.
“I’m really proud of you, Yushin.”
“yes?”
She comes close again. She tried not to show it, but without realizing it, blood rushed to her face.
“Honestly, I felt guilty when I looked at you. Even though I was the president of the Academy, I was a non-combatant, so I couldn’t help you much or make a big effort. You can’t tell me how grateful I am that you grew up so well on your own.”
“Oh, no effort was made. I felt it when Frost took power. How much help the president of the association gave me.”
She, who was leaning against me, looked up at me with a strange expression.
“……Anyway, you speak beautifully.”
When I saw her flushed face, I felt tingly. The bridge of her nose is sore, and her saliva is watering.
“Hongyul Hunter! Are you there!”
I was startled by the sudden voice and straightened my back.
A federation employee ran into the waiting room and saluted.
“Hongyul Hunter! Other association presidents are waiting for you! You have to quickly participate in the association president’s meeting… hehe!”
The employee froze. I ended up witnessing me sitting frozen in place and the president of the association leaning on my arm.
“Excuse me…”
“stop.”
The president of the association stopped an employee who was trying to escape.
The employee looked back, creaking like a wooden doll.
“What are you going to do? I didn’t hear you right, so say it again.”
Even as she said that, she didn’t leave me.
“The World Association Presidents’ Meeting has already started on the 7th floor of the main hall! Everyone is waiting, so if you hurry…”
“Tsk.”
Eventually, she fell from my arms and stroked her hair in annoyance.
“Call and tell them that my hunter is late because he is taking the level 2 examination.”
“Yes, old!”
“And I say this out of old age.”
Beneath her flowing red hair, her golden eyes sparkled fiercely.
“Watch your mouth. I don’t care if you’re talking about me behind my back, but if he gets into trouble, he won’t just stay still.”
“Mu, radish, of course!”
“go away.”
After the federation staff left as if running away, the president of the association stretched himself.
“Ugh! I have to go to work.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
She stood up and looked back at me, putting her hands on her waist.
“…How can I see my little brother’s face?”
“yes?”
“It’s nothing. I’m going.”
With a suit jacket draped around her shoulders, she waved her arms and disappeared. I bowed my head to her and made her sigh.

There was also a large hotel building on the World Federation site. It is mainly used by visitors, and there are quite a few federation employees who commute here.
Certified hunters have 70% DC, so the price is not a big burden. Of course, I count even that cost as an association expense.
I’ve made some money by rolling the magic tower, but it still feels good to have it for free.
So I unpacked my bags in the hotel room, washed up, and fell into bed and fell asleep.
It was early morning when I opened my eyes.
‘… … ‘I can’t sleep.’
I changed into comfortable training clothes and went down to the 24-hour cafe on the first floor of the hotel. I was planning to fill my stomach here and make a plan for the world guild examination.
I took a seat in a corner and opened my laptop.
“huh?”
There was a little girl sitting next to me.
About Eunsol’s age? No, she looks about one or two years older than Eunsol.

Her face was so pale that it wasn’t white, and her hair was silver, but the closer it got to the ends, the darker the blue.
These days, there are many hunters who have undergone physical changes after awakening, so her hair color is not that unusual, but she caught my eye in particular.
She was sitting on a chair, shaking her legs alternately and looking out the window in the darkness.
‘Hmm.’
However, no matter how much time passed, the child’s parents did not appear. I was worried about her and asked her.
“Where are your parents?”
She turned her head and looked at me.
Then he looked at every inch of my face.
I didn’t want to be misunderstood as a strange person, so I tried to keep my expression as friendly as possible.
“Kim Yu-shin?”
“uh?”
I looked at her in surprise.
“How do you know my name?”
“…….”
She turned her head back with an expressionless face. She then walked towards the wall and soon passed through it and disappeared.
I froze in place for five seconds.
“W-what is it?”
I quickly ran over and looked out the window, but I couldn’t see anything, let alone the girl.
I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.
“Sir. What’s going on?”
A cafe employee approached me. I excitedly pointed to the table.
“Isn’t there a girl sitting here?”
“Uh… I’m not sure. I was at the counter the whole time, but I didn’t see the girl come in.”
What is this? Did you really see a ghost?
‘Ah. ‘You saw it too, right?’
-Yes, top owner.
‘What about detection magic?’
-There is no biological reaction.
My heart was pounding.
-To be precise… … Detection magic doesn’t work well.
‘What are you talking about?’
-This is an unknown phenomenon. The detection magic cannot extend and disappears in the middle.
It may be a sign of an abnormal phenomenon. Feeling anxious for no reason, I quickly left the cafe and went out to the hotel lobby.
A group of people had gathered in the lobby since dawn. They were chatting loudly with serious expressions.
I was about to ask those people if they had seen a ghost too, but one of them pointed in my direction and shouted.
“Kim Yu-shin is over there!”
… … Why is my name here?
People stampeded like angry bulls.
It wasn’t a ghost, but I had business!
I quickly tried to escape, but there was a wall and a cafe behind me. There was no escape hole.
In the end, I had no choice but to return to my seat and find myself surrounded by these people.
“Kim Yu-shin Hunter! Sign a contract with us!”
“I would like to sign a contract for exclusive potion distribution rights in the Netherlands!”
Someone said that they were businessmen, guild masters, association officials, etc. from various countries.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. They suddenly barged in…”
You can hear cafe employees covering their mouths and whispering.
Powerful businessmen gathered around a young man dressed in tracksuits. Even I think it’s a strange sight.
I sat down as if pushed out, scratched my head and sighed.
“I’m curious why you suddenly changed your attitude like this.”
They looked shocked at my words.
“Wasn’t everyone in the mood to follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and put it on hold? Why are you doing this now?”
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration declared that it would ban imports of potions unless their ingredients were labeled and their safety was verified.
After this fact became known, each country was taking a similar stance to reduce the price of potions.
In short, if you want to do business, you should bow down.
During the planning stage of Alchemia’s global branches, the people who offered to help us joined hands and put pressure on us, using the fact that Frost had put the brakes on Alchemia because we had spent money to build some infrastructure as an excuse.
Well, actually, I was hectic at the time because of the 6th floor ordeal, but Jeong Seo-jin, who is in charge of Alchemia, must have been so stressed that his head was pounding.
I have no intention of just letting things go, even for Jeong Seo-jin’s sake.
“It was a measure that had nothing to do with our guild’s position!”
“It is a unilateral guideline from the government, so we have no choice…”
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Lame excuses made to avoid responsibility.
boring. I completely ignored them and looked at the cafe staff.
“Please take my order here.”
“Yes, sir!”
The cafe employees come rushing in.
When I came in wearing training clothes, I was calculating in a cool way, but now I’m incredibly quick-tempered.
I simply ordered dessert, including cheesecake.
“Hunter Yushin Kim! Talk to us first…!”
“If it’s brunch instead of eating at a place like this, we’ll take you to a better place!”
“The terms of our contract are…”
I answered with my eyes fixed on the Internet article on my smartphone.
“Please be quiet.”
Their mouths sank.
I lined up the biggest names in each industry and enjoyed dessert in front of them.
They couldn’t open their mouths even once.
I think you are well aware of the fact that the moment you bring up even the ‘gold’ of the contract, the situation will be ruined.
Why has the attitude of companies changed so suddenly? Simple.
If I become a world guild, any regulations will disappear into obscurity.
And in a situation where it has been revealed that the potion is a product of otherworldly ruins, it becomes ridiculous to keep asking questions about verifying the potion’s stability.
“I came to Switzerland for hunter-related business, not for business.”
I said, wiping my mouth with a napkin.
‘No problem.’ ‘I’m sorry for interrupting your meal.’ While saying this, they bowed their backs or nodded their heads in extreme affirmation.
“I will contact Vice President Jeong Seo-jin to arrange a meeting. Go to Seoul and meet the Vice President in person to talk.”
I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
I want to let Jeong Seo-jin, who worked hard, also experience joy.
“…….”
As the atmosphere around me calmed down, I raised the corners of my mouth.
“Why? This is the attitude of young startup leaders, right?”
I was faced with the extreme negativity that came with the outcry.
‘What kind of words are you saying!’ Words like “I’m honored just to be given the opportunity!” come out.
No, honestly, it’s a bit like that, right? We have all made plans together and are spending a lot of money to proceed with the project, but suddenly, as soon as we get one case, we raise the US military and change our language, which is the behavior of a pure idiot.
It’s a venture company, and the executives seem to be young and look down on it, but this is your mistake.
“Actually, it’s okay if you just don’t do business with us.”
I continued speaking with a smile on my face.
“Let’s just acquire a logistics company on our own and create a distribution line. We have no intention of giving even a drop of juice to those who ignore us.”
The sound of drooling can be heard everywhere.
Afterwards, I gave the order to banish the guests, and they dispersed. At the same time, I am talking on the phone somewhere and making plans to go to Seoul.
‘I’ll leave the rest to you. Seojin.’
I smiled evilly and shifted my gaze to my smartphone.
