I’m Only the Magic Tower Chapter 274
[Disaster Cataclysm and Disaster Red Gate are approaching.]
[We ask citizens to quickly evacuate to protected areas.]
As detailed information about the disaster became known to the public, a long procession of evacuees began.
According to Association President Hong Yeon’s plan, the main force of the Hunter world heads to Red Gate.
Since domestic power was so empty, her plan was to gather people in Seoul and the Gyeonggi area to narrow the defense area and reduce casualties as much as possible.
But of course there were people who opposed this policy.
“What will happen to my house if I go up? Will they compensate me?”
“I would rather die here than abandon the land that my ancestors have cultivated for generations!”
“The government must protect the people’s land and property!”
Protests from all over the country were pouring in. Media outlets with anti-association tendencies poured out a flood of negative articles as if they had been waiting for this moment.
[Damage estimated at 3,000 trillion won.]
[Even if Red Gate is blocked, the Republic of Korea will be destroyed if things continue like this.]
[Unilateral evacuation notification without promise of property compensation. Incompetent government and association.]
And of course, this fact reached the ears of her, the Commander-in-Chief of the disaster.
“President of the Association, public opinion is rising.”
Inside the commander’s tent in Paju, the expected Red Gate area, Lim Nam-jin, head of the executive branch, was reporting the situation.
Hongyeon, who was sitting on a chair drinking hot coffee, opened her eyes.
“Martial law has been declared, and the highest level of combat readiness has been issued. Please ignore public opinion and proceed with the operation. The evacuation order is mandatory, and if you do not follow it, we may use coercive measures.”
Lim Nam-jin’s expression hardened.
“Forcibly enforce evacuation? Even if we don’t, people are still dissatisfied.”
“This is a war. If all complaints are heard, war is impossible. This disaster must be prevented, even if it means restricting the basic rights of the people. I will take full responsibility.”
“… I understand. Then let’s proceed like that.”
Lim Nam-jin left the tent.
She sighed softly and turned on her phone. She deftly went into her album and brought up a picture of her on her screen.
With the dazzling Alps in the background, Yushin is seen smiling awkwardly.
On either side, Hong Yeon and Han Yun-jeong were posing while hanging on his arms.
A small smile appears on her cold, midwinter-like face.
She stroked the screen of her cell phone with a thin finger.
‘What should I do? senior.’
“Association president! Are you there? Let’s go in!”
When someone entered the tent, Hongyeon turned over her phone at almost the speed of light and spoke softly.
“Good job on your mission. Hunter Seunghyun Kim.”
The man in the metal suit chuckled.
At one time, when she was the student council president at Hong Yeon’s Academy, her confidant was Kim Seung-hyun, who served as the head of the general affairs department. He is now a certified level 3 hunter directly under the Association.
Every time he walked, the five swords behind his back made clanking noises.
“What are you hiding in such a hurry?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Oh my, really?”
This voice came from next to me.
Before I knew it, a female hunter was sitting on the desk like a cat, holding Hong Yeon’s cell phone.
Likewise, Seul-ah Yoon is a level 3 certified person who served as the head of the operations department.
“Have you been looking at this oppa’s photo again? You too….”
“Give it back!”
Hongyeon urgently stretched out her arms. Yunseul-ah dodged her arm by tumbling lightly in the air.
“There are degrees of missing people. Yeon, do you know that you’re a bit pathological?”
“Give it back to me right away! This is an order!”
“Heng, I don’t like it! If you want to take it away, try taking it away!”
As Yun Seul-ah said that, she suddenly felt like the world was spinning.
Before she knew it, she had her back on the floor and saw Hongyeon pressing her upper body with her knees and pointing her fingertips at her neck.
“…Give it to me.”
“Hey, here it is.”
Yun Seul-ah said, trembling.
Hongyeon snatched the cell phone as if snatching it away and returned to her seat, waving her hands.
“Hmm. Hmm.”
She cleared her throat in embarrassment and looked at Seunghyun Kim with calm golden eyes again.
“Please report the results of the reconnaissance. Hunter Seunghyeon Kim.”
“Ah, it’s such a shame that I’m the only one who sees it.”
Seunghyun Kim chuckled.
“People in the world also need to know this new side of the president of the association.”
“Our kite is so cute!”
Yun Seul-ah, who had been suppressed, immediately came back and hugged Hong Yeon’s shoulder tightly. She glared at her twinkle.
“Please distinguish between public and private matters. Yun Seul-ah, level 3.”
“If no one is watching, it’s private!”
“Have you been harassing the president of the association again?”
A large, distracted figure returned to the tent.
Oh Ho-seung, a certified level 3 student who was once the head of the 4th grade athletic department.
After glaring lightly at his juniors, he saluted Hong Yeon with his military spirit raised.

“Fireteam is ready! We can move at any time.”
“great job.”
Seunghyeon Kim, Seulah Yoon, and Hoseung Oh.
Their relationship at the academy continued into the association, and now they are one of the few hunters that Hongyeon trusts.
At the same time, they were also people who shared Hongyeon’s fresh school days.
“Yuna Yuna.”
Yun Seul-ah said, resting her chin on Hong Yeon’s table.
“Once this disaster is over, let’s go on a blind date, okay? It’s always been said that men are forgotten as men.”
“Thank you for the offer, but I’m not interested.”
“Aiing, don’t say that! There’s no need for you to follow in your sister’s footsteps! If you go into the community, there are people who say that the Hong family has a history of being an old maid!”
Hongyeon said, covering her forehead.
“Hunter Oh Seung, please catch this and throw it away.”
“Okay! Hey guy, come here!”
“If you want to catch it, let’s catch it!”
While they were laughing and chatting noisily, they heard people running outside.
“Association president. There’s a problem!”
It was Lim Nam-jin.
The three people who were joking quickly returned to their seats and saluted.
Hongyeon asked with a serious look on her face.
“Is there a problem?”
“……President Lee Deok-bae caused the problem.”
Lim Nam-jin put down the screen pad in front of Hong Yeon and started the video.
[My fellow citizens! I stand before you with a devastated heart.]
The location is Gwanghwamun. It was a place where protests against Hongyeon’s disaster policy were currently taking place.
‘Please save the province!’, ‘Please protect my home!’ are everywhere. Cries are pouring in.
[Don’t worry. everyone! No matter what happens, I, Deok-bae Lee, will not betray the people!]
He clenched his fists and stretched out his arms.
[Land that I have cultivated my entire life! A workplace where people worked hard to earn a penny or two to send their children to college! You can’t just sit back and watch as everything you put your blood and sweat into disappears! Even if the whole world ignores us, I think our government should not ignore its people!]
[Ooooooooo!]
There were loud cheers.
[I, Deokbae Lee, urge you to do so.]
He looked at the camera and shouted.
[The emergency committee must take measures to prevent the people from losing their precious home. This is not an order from the commander-in-chief of the military, but a solemn order from the entire nation.]
[That’s right!]
[Lee Deok-bae! Deokbae Lee!]
A cheer so loud that it is deafening erupts.
[All power in the association comes from the people! If the will of the people is not followed, I, Lee Deok-bae, as a representative of the people, will go to the extent of requiring the resignation of the President of the Hongyeon Association!]
Cheers poured out once again. At the same time, there were also mutterings of panic.
[Everyone, rest assured! Our country has successfully overcome numerous crises. Now, as a member of M10, the world’s leading global leader, we will confidently overcome this crisis! We will restore peace and prosperity with our own hands!]
[Lee Deok-bae! Deokbae Lee! Deokbae Lee!]
Hongyeon frowned and turned her head away. She was laughing as if her three henchmen were dumbfounded.
“As expected, that old man is out of his mind.”
Seunghyun Kim grumbled. Yun Seul-ah also said something.
“The world is saying that the probability of Korea being ruined is over 70%, so you’re saying that your political image is more important? That.”
Oh Ho-seung noticed.
“Seul-ya. You are a hunter from the association. Be careful what you say…”
“Oh my, did I say something wrong?”
“Stop, both of you.”
Hongyeon said in a cold voice.
The two people straightened their backs with frozen expressions. Hongyeon turned her head and looked at Lim Namjin.
“What do you think, senior?”
“…….”
Namjin Lim rested his chin on his hand and closed his eyes.
“If it gets to that point, we’ll have to compromise. The president is also asking for his side to be strengthened. It would be a good idea to remove a certain portion of Redgate’s troops and hand them over to Cataclysm, and designate about 30 additional local protection areas.”
Oh Ho-seung, who had been listening quietly, looked embarrassed.
“Well, isn’t that too much?
“Don’t worry. It’s a show-off with no substance. If public opinion is going to be divided and confused here, it’s better to at least pretend to be flexible. If we drastically increase the number of protected areas, the president will be satisfied and the people will calm down.”
“…….”
Hongyeon sighed slightly.
“If I feel like it, I want to throw it out and take real power.”
“no.”
Lim Nam-jin shook his head.
“I know that you have the power and ability to do so. However, if you lose in politics and the people turn their backs on you, you lose your cause and meaning. You become no different from the devil.”
Hongyeon gritted her teeth at the word “mine.”
“During the heyday, your sister had the power to deal with the entire country on her own, but she bowed her head in front of the people. Now, you too must know how to bend. Being on top means being someone who can compromise. ”
“…….”
Hongyeon covered her forehead and answered after thinking for a long time.
“Understood. I will send some of Redgate’s defense forces to Cataclysm. Please make a list of guilds with excellent mobility and report them.”
“……Yuna.”
Yun Seul-ah spoke in a voice filled with worry.
“It’s no problem. Since the power has leaked, I just have to push harder.”
Hongyeon grabbed the sword and stood up.
“I will definitely protect this land from disaster.”
* * *
When I open my eyes, I find myself in a familiar cave.
The muggy heat of my favorite sauna feels good.
‘What time is it?’
I looked at the time and it was still 8 am.
It’s time to sleep better. I tried to turn over and lie down on my side.
But it doesn’t go over well. I felt like something was sticking to my body, so I turned my head.
‘Ahh!’
A woman was asleep, hugging my body. I was scared and took a step back.
I looked closely.
“……So, Sol?”
Eunsol woke up, rubbing her eyes. He’s wearing the same warm, sauna orange clothes as me.
“Oh, brother! Are you awake?”
Even though she was half-asleep, she smiled brightly and hugged me.
“Hehe, oppa, you smell so good.”
I froze.
The people who were looking around to see if there were any empty caves around, frowned when they saw us and left.
“……Sol.”
“huh?”
“Let me make this clear. Now, if we just hug and kiss like before, we’ll be in big trouble. No, more accurately, only I will be caught by the police.”
She blinked.
“why?”
“You are still a minor and I am an adult. Of course, in the relationship between men and women before that…”
“Oppa. Are you embarrassed?”
she asked, her eyes fluttering open. I was speechless for a moment.
“Hehe! Even though I’m shy, I really like it!”
She came back into my arms and rubbed my cheek.
I feel that conversation is not working.
“But how did you get into the sauna when you don’t have an ID card? School is…”
“I came home in the morning! School is closed due to a disaster!”
Damn, I wasn’t saying where.
My secret refuge and paradise… … .
“Oppa! I want to eat eggs! Sikhye too!”
“okay okay.”
At her torch, I came out of the sauna cave.
As I stretched and opened my eyes, I was startled by the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
“…What is all this?”
