I’m the only magic tower owner episode 053
Finally, the day of the early graduation quarterfinals.
Originally, the general public was only allowed to enter the semi-finals, but since it was a match expected to attract the most crowds in the early graduation exam, the venue was changed to the largest central gymnasium, and the general public was also allowed to enter.
The largest crowd of people for any game in history came to the academy. In particular, there were over 80 certified scouts dispatched from each guild.
“Haaah, I’m so nervous.”
Jin Jin-ra said while watching the situation on the monitor in the players’ waiting room.
“Is it because this game is actually the final? A lot of people came!”
“I know.”
Yushin answered as if muttering.
“Ha, I never thought that the two contenders for the championship would meet in the quarterfinals. In the end, one of them is destined to postpone graduation and stay at the academy.”
“I know.”
“Of course, you will win, but…”
She stopped talking and looked at Yushin’s face.
“Oh, are you okay? I don’t think you’re nervous.”
I hadn’t said anything to her yet for fear of worrying her for no reason.
Yushin answered with a reassuring smile.
“It’s because I’m nervous.”
Jin Jin-ra, who was laughing like a young lady, suddenly spoke seriously.
“Now that I think about it, I’m a little worried.”
“what?”
“Aren’t you being too immersed in yourself? You’re rushing to kill yourself even though your mana suit gauge is at 0, or you’re trying to hurt your opponent by throwing a lot of water at them.”
“…Hey. What do you think of me? I heard it’s not that bad.”
“Who was the one who watched a drama in the past and was immersed in it and started crying?”
Ah, that was kind of sad.
“That’s the way I like to watch dramas.”
“That was just a doctor drama?”
“Do you know how the physically challenged mother, who raised the protagonist alone, feels when she prepares her son’s lunch box for the first time?”
“……Did it explode there?”
While I was relaxing by talking about the drama, I finally heard the broadcast I had been waiting for.
-Student Kim Yu-shin, please come to the central gym right away.
“let’s go.”
“yes!”
* * *
“Waaaaaa!”
Yushin’s ears were almost deafened by the cheering that erupted. The central gymnasium was as large as an ordinary stadium, and there were so many people that it was difficult to find an empty seat.
Hongyeon was also coming into the players’ waiting room across from us.
‘… Ohh.’
As if to express her determination not to suffer in vain like before, she was wearing a proper armor-type suit.
Red hair flutters over pure white armor.
Ancient and overwhelming majesty. Just showing up inspires awe.
Yushin thought that a person who stands above all people should be like that.
“Two players, forward.”
From the quarterfinals onwards, faculty and staff from Hunter, rather than facility staff, will directly appear in the match.
Yushin and Hongyeon walked towards each other.
“We meet again.”
She greeted him with a slight bow.
“I guess you prepared a lot. Isn’t it a joke to flash everything?”
“No more letting down your guard.”
A spark flew from her eyes as she looked at Yushin.
“I will defeat you with all my might.”
“You’re in good spirits.”
“……Let’s see how long that margin will last.”
The faculty member offered to shake hands, and the two held hands. As soon as Hong Yeon shook hands, he immediately turned his back and walked away.
“Then, two players, please get ready.”
Slurp.
She drew her sword. It was silver like her armor, but the moment she held her sword, a hazy red glow came up the body of her sword.
Even Yushin, who had no knowledge of equipment, could tell that it was a fairly good sword.
As always, Yushin had no special equipment. He just wore a Mana suit underneath and a protective vest borrowed from the Academy over it.
“Now, the official quarterfinal match between sophomore Kim Yu-shin and freshman Hong Yeon begins!”
With the outpouring of cheers, Yushin increased his concentration.
The screen started counting down.
3.
2.
One.
-Beep!
As soon as the buzzer sounded to announce the start of the game, Hongyeon grabbed her sword and ran.
As she declared, there was no need to wait for Yushin to cast a high-ranking spell.

Yushin countered with his special skills from the beginning.
Countless magic circles spread out behind him, and soon golden arrows were released, turning the sky yellow.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“……!”
Hongyeon slowed down and faced the incoming golden waves.
one by one.
Every time the red sword light flashed, countless mana arrows fell to the ground.
‘Ah, hold him like this. I’ll just help with the math and prepare other magic.’
-All right.
Ea casted magic in earnest.
In addition to the combination of remote casting and accelerated casting, he was using a mixture of copy magic positions to draw out five Rapid Arrows at once, inflicting volumetric warfare.
Yushin’s current Rapid Arrow proficiency is 30%.
The original magic was difficult to increase proficiency in, but the increase in performance depending on proficiency was large.
The current Yushin was able to load up to five Rapid Arrows into one magic circle and take them out.
Rapid Arrow continues to evolve into a magic specialized for random fire.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
And EA, who shares this ability with Yushin, began to pour out his firepower.
The best scenario Yushin thought was to start allowing one or two hits as if it were drizzling rain, but then the tempo stopped and a lot of damage was inflicted.
‘… … ‘He has no humanity.’
Hongyeon was stepping lightly and avoiding or blocking all attacks.
From Yushin’s perspective, her concentration showed no signs of waning.
So far, 0 arrows have been hit.
She, who was turning left and right due to Rapid Arrow’s firepower, suddenly ran forward and began swinging her sword.
visor! visor! visor! visor! visor!
In that short period of time, I finished adapting to the attack pattern. Despite her speed and swinging her sword, Lepid Arrow could not reach her body with a single shot.
It’s not just about swinging a sword quickly. Every step she took was like an act of God, and the angle of her arms, the position of her knees, and even the direction of her waist were all so perfect that they seemed to blend into the situation.
At this level, it felt like Rapid Arrow was deliberately avoiding her.
‘… … ‘He’s so good that it’s mind-boggling.’
Her sword dance was extremely beautiful.
Can we say that something like that is simply the movement of a human swinging a piece of iron?
Each and every trace of the sword was a series of horrifying fates and coincidences created by Mother Nature.
Hongyeon wields a miracle.
-Start changing Rapid Arrow’s formula.
At that time, I heard EA’s voice in my head.
-Change the injection pattern.
-Change from strategy focusing on vital points and body to strategy focusing on space.
-Start re-injection after changing the formula.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
EA responded by immediately changing its pattern.
‘As expected, ea!’
It was a significant change. After allowing a few hits to the thigh, Hongyeon stopped moving forward again and appeared to be concentrating on defense.
-Change the injection pattern.
-Change the injection pattern.
-Change the injection pattern.
Ea’s voice became urgent.
Hongyeon’s ability to adapt was formidable, even though she kept changing her patterns against the monster that somehow followed her.
Now, even the changing patterns were speeding up by predicting and exploiting them on her side.
Yushin, who was watching, clicked his tongue as if he was fed up.
-Unable to attack even if you change the pattern!
Rapid Arrow magic itself has been completely attacked!
‘I’m ready, so just let me in.’
Without Ea stopping, Hongyeon completely broke through Rapid Arrow with her own power.
She flew up to avoid the arrows flying at her legs, gathered all her red magic power, and raised her sword.
In response, Yushin raised his finger and activated the magic circle placed on the floor.
Coo coo coo coo!
A 2nd process earth type magic that is presented to her for the first time.
Two ground swords quickly rose from the floor and crossed in front of Yushin in an X shape, parrying her attack.
“like this!”
The Earth Claymore, crossed in the shape of an X, soared up at incredible speed and dragged her up into the sky.
And all around her as she rose into the air, fire cannon magic circles were blazing and preparing to spit out fireballs.
‘Pfft!’
You can’t avoid it in the air. She quickly got to her feet and tried to get away, but Yushin clenched her fist and threw her to the side.
The entire Earth Claymore turned into fine powder and fell, and the stepping stone disappeared.
She was falling motionlessly due to gravity, and perfectly timed fire cannons were attacking her from all directions.
‘Gotcha.’
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
Fireballs exploded. Subsequent fireballs came in and caused a second explosion.
Yushin’s eyes turned to the gauges on the screen.
Yushin Kim <1,000/1,000>
Hongyeon <940/1, 000>
‘This is bittersweet! It almost didn’t work… … !’
“Tapju!”
In the explosion, a red flash flashed for a moment and came down through the smoke toward Yushin.
Ssssssssssssshhhh!
Even though the wise man opened his eyes and prepared properly, a red sword slash cut through Yushin’s shoulder.
“Pfft!”
As soon as she landed on the floor, she turned her back and tried to deliver a follow-up blow, but before she knew it, Yushin’s body had leapt onto her.
‘What are you going to do with such foolish and foolish avoidance?’
When she raised her sword, red magic energy enveloped the blade.
As he prepared to deliver a decisive blow to the opponent who would come down from the air, a shield was formed under Yushin’s feet in the air.
Yushin, who had begun to grow while stumbling precariously on the shield, stepped on the magic circle of the leaf boots and flew away.
In the blink of an eye, a considerable distance was gained.
‘… ‘You always exceed my imagination.’
She lowered her sword and glared at Yushin.
Yushin landed on the floor, gasping for breath and wiping the corner of his mouth.
Yushin Kim <710/1, 000>
Hongyeon<960/1, 000>
Due to the attack and defense just now, my health went down by nearly 300.
“Good. Now, I will do whatever it takes.”
Whioooooooooooo!
Mana began to swirl around her like a whirlwind.
‘Ah, get ready again.’
-warning. I believe Rapid Arrow will no longer work on this opponent.
‘Then this time it’s Guide Arrow.’
At that time when Yushin and Ea were forming a magic circle together.
“Pfft!”
Yushin’s magic began to be drawn to Hongyeon.
‘It’s finally come out.’
A human blessed with Mana.
A being cherished by the entire world.
There was no other way to express it.
The mana of this city is swirling and gathering towards her.
Mana, controlled by Yushin, was no exception.
The formula of the magic circle prepared by remote casting was converted into mana and sucked in, twisting the formula, or the magic circle itself was torn apart as if blowing in the wind and started heading towards Hongyeon, the center of the vortex.
Because of his style, which relies more on mana than anything else, Hongyeon’s presence and mere presence in place obliterate the source of Yushin’s power.
It is not a problem of magic not working like in the 3rd floor trial. This is the only way I can’t use magic properly.
– Top owner. It doesn’t seem like the opponent is controlling it with intention, but even now, the effectiveness of the magic is greatly reduced.
Yushin smiled emptyly and spoke to Hongyeon who was approaching.
“Are you really planning to rob me of my means?”
“I didn’t mean to.”
She answered quietly.
“I heard that this would be fatal to those with unique abilities.”
“Really? You were wrong about that.”
The moment a question mark appeared on her face, the corners of Yushin’s mouth widened like a devil.
“I’m different.”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The magical power in Yushin’s body began to boil all at once.
Sensing that something was amiss, she raised her sword and tried to rush at her.
The spinning mana arrows, the trajectory of which Ea cast, could not be read, caught her ankle.
“……Still using this technique!”
While Hongyeon swung his sword again and struck down the arrow, Yushin closed his eyes, leaving the battle to Ea.
A consciousness of being completely immersed in myself.
Yushin took several deep breaths and opened his eyes. Everything in the world seemed blue.
A sight seen by a magic tower owner with the eyes of a wise man. A world where mana concentration is classified by color.
Yushin was more immersed.
More than now.
Deeper.
The world made up of color and density now undulated and waved like waves.
Now we are starting to see a ‘flow’.
The flow and trajectory come into view.
The way it flows and flows seems as if it is submerged in water, not on land.
The current Yushin was able to read Mana’s will. And Hongyeon was currently standing in the center where Mana was trying to go.
As if the world revolved around her, the mana waves around her were infinitely more complex and dense.
Yushin chewed his lips.
‘Where are you all looking?’
Yushin released the magic power within his body at once and spewed it out in all directions.
This is a kind of show of force.
‘I am the lord of this planet’s magic tower.’
‘We are the ones who treat you better than anyone else.’
‘Look at me.’
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
Yushin’s exploding mana was mixed with the air and diluted. It was an action that could have been considered a simple waste of mana, but it was visible in his eyes.
Just as the rings of an old tree become distorted, the trends and flows of mana begin to change.
Gooooooooooooooooooo!
Hongyeon made a shocked expression. Now something like the vortex rising from her body began to swirl around Yushin’s body.
Even partially, the mana escaped from her body and was sucked into Yushin’s body.
Surprised, she looked at Yushin, and Yushin smiled and said.
“This is how you do it, right?”
“……!”
It can’t be.
A mana control technique that Hongyeon herself has not yet realized the essence of.
Reproducing it with pure personal power, without the help of characteristics, was no longer the realm of talent.
What on earth is that person?
“Starting now.”
When Yushin spread his arms, countless magic circles began to unfold around him.
