I’m the only magic tower owner episode 051
“If Yeon picks up a tree branch that has fallen on the side of the road and swings it for a while, he will develop sword skills. If he swings it a few more times, he will even learn the mysterious principles of the sword.”
I was dumbfounded.
I don’t think you’re joking. Is that realistically possible?
“There is no concept of repeated mastery. Any martial art or combat technique in the world can be mastered after just a few quick attempts. Absolute growth that does not require learning. That is the true identity of Yeon-i’s unique ability.”
“Incredible.”
The president of the association sighed softly.
“Does it look good? The way I see it, it’s just a curse.”
“yes?”
“That ability is not something you can turn on and off whenever you want. It sticks with you your whole life and never goes away. Imagine that ‘strange phenomenon’ continues throughout your life. How can you be serious about everything in this world?”
Before I knew it, I was leaning forward and listening to the president of the association.
“Then you couldn’t have said that defeat was necessary…”
“That’s right. There are some things that can only be achieved through tears, desperation, and shedding pain. Will she make a real effort? Or will she have grit? The current Yeon-i is just an empty shell with no motivation.”
I understood. Is it a case of gaining the strongest ability too early?
“It’s good to receive the blessings of the world. But if you raise your child with the world being too busy, your child’s mentality will be ruined. I guarantee you, no matter how good your skills are, a hunter like that won’t survive for long.”
An overwhelming talent given by God.
However, because the talent alone was so overwhelming, other elements necessary for a hunter were not able to grow, and even what was lacking was Hong Yeon’s current state.
“however.”
As she was seriously telling the story, she suddenly looked at me and smiled.
“You gave Yeon a big shock this time.”
“……ah.”
“Losing in a head-to-head match against an equal academy student under equal conditions. It must have been a huge shock. Now that your life of moving forward has come to a halt, you will finally look back on yourself. Maybe, you will come back to overcome the new wall called you. “I don’t know. He desperately needed defeat in many ways.”
“I know what you mean.”
The president of the association paused for a moment and looked at my face.
I can feel the gaze being drawn towards my wise eyes wearing contact lenses. When I, who was a burden to her, turned her head slightly, she smiled and said.
“By the way, have you seen the next quarterfinal matchup?”
“I didn’t see it.”
“Baby, students are not interested than me.”
Today I was too busy preparing to hunt portal goblins. When I turned on my smartphone and checked, I saw that the quarterfinals bracket had been confirmed 4 hours ago.
And the moment I identified the other person, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed. The association president chuckled.
“Did you see? You’re up against my little brother again in the quarterfinals.”
‘This is crazy… … ‘
We were destined to fight on the way up anyway, but I didn’t expect that we would fight again so soon.
“In that sense, I have a suggestion.”
“Suggestion?”
The head of the Trickster Association, who has no worries in the world, made a suggestion to me… … . It’s such a burden.
“You have to lose this time.”
“……?”
It took me a little while to understand what that meant.
“No way, because of my younger brother’s graduation, they forced me to fix the match…”
“Is that possible, you idiot!”
When she hit the armrest, the corner of the sofa hit! And it was smashed. Without realizing it, her shoulders straightened.
“In fact, it’s the opposite. I want Yeon to stay in school for about one more year. This is my greed as president.”
“…….”
“Well, literally, this is just my greed and has nothing to do with this matter. More specifically, I want you to withdraw from the quarterfinals.”
“Why?”
She slowly crossed her arms.
“Even if you die now and wake up, you won’t be able to beat Yeon.”
This time my eyebrows twitched.
“In the quarterfinals, Yeon will come out sharpened. Looking at the video, you can see that she uses some strange techniques, but how long do you think you can last against Yeon who is giving her all?”
I couldn’t answer right away. It was definitely a surprise attack, and we were lucky.
An all-out match against Hongyeon. It is not just a friendly duel, but an official match based on sparring rules is a completely different story.
“Whatever.”
The president of the association suddenly sighed.
“You are the one who inflicted Yeon’s first loss. It happened whether you wanted it or not.”
First defeat.
The weight of those words weighs down on my shoulders.
“Now you are a big wall for Yeon. I was preparing hard to defeat you, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a venomous face.”
She smiled faintly, as if she was reminiscing for a moment, and continued speaking.
“But what if you are cruelly defeated in the quarterfinals? In the end, Yeon will achieve her goal too easily this time, and the goal she set will disappear.”
“…….”
Her eyes flashed fiercely.
“It’s been a while since this wall was built? If this wall breaks easily, the aftereffects Yeon feels will be doubled. She might feel a sense of futility in everything in the world. If that’s her case, it will still remain.”
A player with extreme potential.
The president of the association said that this was a major turning point for her.
so.
“Abstain, student council president.”
The president of the association urges me to abstain.

“This situation is perfect right now. Instead of fighting with Yeon, wait for the right time. I want you to remain as Yeon’s wall for as long as possible.”
I calmly pointed out her point.
“I don’t think it’s a problem that can be solved just because I avoid it. Abstaining from it means avoiding a fight, and I doubt that Hongyeon will properly perceive me as a wall.”
“……You think so too, right?”
The corners of her mouth rose even further, as if she had been waiting for those words.
“Then please go into hiding.”
… A chill ran down my spine.
I forgot about it for a while. This person does not have a normal way of thinking.
The acts of destruction she has committed are cruel and bizarre. That’s why nicknames such as idiot or psycho have followed around the world.
“…Well, don’t speculate. I’m just saying that you should go study abroad as a hunter for a few years. Instead, all expenses will be covered by the association, and when you return to Korea later, I will make sure to take care of it.”
“…….”
As soon as the tension subsided a little, my head started rolling.
It is an unusual proposal.
The person in front of me right now is none other than the strongest hunter in Korea and a globally influential hunter.
By going abroad for a few years, I will be able to join the best line in the hunter world.
of course.
“Can I be honest with you?”
“……?”
“Just a month ago, I was a person with non-combat abilities. I haven’t received much benefit from the Academy over the past two years, and I don’t have a special relationship with Hongyeon. But I don’t know why I have to sacrifice a few more years. I have no intention of abstaining. .”
The association president’s eyes moved as if he was measuring me.
“Is now the time to be stubborn?”
If you give up just a few years, this is an opportunity to make the next few decades easier.
That’s what she was saying.
“No matter what happens, I plan to graduate early and become a hunter. What happens to Hongyeon in the process is honestly none of my business.”
It’s not that Hong Yeon doesn’t know the influence he will have on the hunter world in the future.
“At least I want to decide the path I will take.”
Even so, in the end, it’s someone else’s problem. There is no reason for me to leave the magic tower for years and go abroad.
Are you willing to send people overseas because of that sense of defeat? If that side goes out, I have no intention of coming forward in a gentlemanly manner either.
“…….”
There was a thick silence.
Just looking into the eyes of that monster makes my body tremble with shivers.
But you have to hold on. This is a fight of guts.
“…… good.”
Finally, the president of the association stood up.
I thought he was upset, but instead he was smiling. She took out her business card from her arms and tossed it towards me.
There was nothing else, just one line of numbers written on it.
“It’s not for work, it’s my direct line. If you change your mind, call me anytime.”
“…….”
I quietly got up and lowered my head.
“goodbye.”
“Giggles! Oh, he really is.”
The president of the association walked out with a cheerful smile and waving his hand.
‘Haaa.’
lived
All strength went out of my body and I couldn’t move. I don’t know anything else, but I felt relieved.
Actually, there is a reason why I went a little hard here.
She ultimately needs my cooperation, and I don’t want to be labeled by the Hunter Association from the start.
Clearly there is a compromise.
However, if we come up with a compromise right away, the price I receive may be less.
This is good news since she first announced that negotiations are open.
Oh, of course, the president of the association did not see me as a proper negotiating partner.
At best, he’s just a petulant newbie? So I didn’t even know that my life was saved.
As the association president left the store, an association employee who appeared to be the manager appeared groveling. I heard people talking about compensation for damages.
It must be hard to clean up after your boss.
I wiped my sweaty palms and left the cafe.

[The Korean Healer Association issued a statement saying that thorough safety verification of potions is necessary.]
Inside the truck, the radio news was playing softly, and the driver was talking on the phone while holding a smartphone with one hand.
“Okay, call me later. I’m working right now. Let’s have another drink on the weekend. Uh, okay.”
After finishing the call, the truck driver turned the steering wheel.
thud!
“Oh my, what a surprise!”
The car body shook loudly.
Did you hit something somewhere? The moment he turned his gaze to the rearview mirror.
Boom!
This time, a man in a black suit clung to the window.
“Aaaahhh!”
Wow!
The car braked hard, spun sideways, and eventually crashed into a nearby building.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
The knight groaned from the tremendous shock. Blood flowed from my forehead and obscured my vision.
He barely managed to come to his senses and raised his head.
Wow!
The window shattered and a hand came out and opened the car door.
“Who, who is it?”
Hot!
A hand immediately grabbed the knight by the back of his neck and threw him to the floor.
While the knight was moaning, four people in black suits surrounded him.
“Let’s go in a good way.”
The man who had been clinging to the window earlier crouched down in front of the driver. A modulated voice was heard through the mask.
“Where were we going?”
“……Logistics warehouse in Seocho-gu.”
“Name a buyer.”
“Bah, Bayer?”
“The one who asked for the goods you were carrying.”
Wow!
One of the gunmen tore the truck apart with his bare hands. What was visible beyond that were potion ingredients such as Harley and Black Mountain.
“……Now, wait a minute! I don’t know anything like that! I’m just carrying the items to the delivered location as instructed!”
A man wearing a mask gestured.
“Take him.”
Sigh.
In an instant, a man came back and stuck a needle into the knight’s neck. The driver immediately lost consciousness.
“It’s already your name. I’m as clueless as I thought.”
The man who gave the injection stood up and said.
“This is a type of outsourcing contract that completely guarantees secrecy on both sides, so neither the distribution company nor the driver knows that this product is a potion ingredient. It doesn’t seem like there is a tail to step on. What will come out of breaking these things?”
“Okay, just take it with you.”
The masked man turned his back and said.
“If you put a knife on your body, it might make you think.”
