Sun Tower -2-
A strangely shaped tower.
This was my first impression when I first saw the Sun Tower.
“Is that a tower?”
“Yes. It looks strange, doesn’t it?”
It looks like a round sphere rather than a tower.
That too, floating in the air.
Could it be an application of anti-gravity magic or levitation magic?
A huge golden sphere, a structure that must have been hundreds of meters in diameter, was floating high in the sky.
Around it, a red magic circle is rotating, wrapping around a golden sphere like the rings of Jupiter.
It really looks like a representation of the sun.
“It must have cost a lot of money. Even the Superintendent didn’t cost that much.”
“All wizards are like that. The other magic towers are no joke either.”
“How did you get that to float?”
“Huh? Hahaha. I didn’t mean to say it.”
“sure?”
“You will know when you come closer.”
Chief Choi picked up the pace.
A luxury sedan speeds down the road.
As we approached within a certain distance, the magic tower finally revealed its true form.
It looks like a portable fan.
As it turned out, the golden sphere was supported by a pointed conical pillar.
Originally a form reminiscent of the Daejeon Hanbit Tower in the world.
I stuck out my tongue inwardly.
“Have you cast a cognitive distortion spell?”
“Yes. I heard it was combined with transparency magic to do something, but I don’t know the exact details.”
“This is ridiculous.”
“Don’t you know how much magicians want to show off? They have to look good even if they die soon. There’s also competition between the four magic towers.”
At this point, I’m curious about what the other magic towers are like.
I should stop by later when I have time.
The car arrived at the main gate of Matap.
Instead of guards, robot golems were standing guard.
A robotic golem that resembles a medieval knight.
The axe in his hand burns with magical flames, and on his other forearm a small missile sparkles with explosive magic.
A robot golem approached and shot lasers from its eyes.
Soon a mechanical sound began to flow out.
[Vehicle number abcd ga-heun, efgh. Visitor level 3 superhuman Kim Jeon-sa and his attendant. Purpose of visit: cooperation in the research of the magic tower. Place of visit: research department. Confirmed. Superhuman Kim Jeon-sa, welcome to the Sun Magic Tower. Hope you have a fulfilling time.]
Wheeing.
The door opens and a magical road is laid over the cliff.
The Sun Tower was built by digging the ground around it to create a cliff-like shape.
“Is it really necessary to go this far?”
“It’s a remnant of World War II. Wasn’t that a time of war between all against all? Even on this small peninsula, there was a lot of fighting going on.”
After all, the First and Second World Wars in this world were completely different from the original world.
Arrived at the Sun Tower without even having time to think.
A magic spirit flew in and guided us.
[Welcome, Superhuman Kim Jeon-sa. The head research wizard, Yu Myeong-seok, is waiting for you.]
“Excuse me, what about the car?”
[If you leave your car keys behind, we will keep them for you.]
I got out of the car.
The magic spirit fired a faint beam of light at us and the car.
A magic circle was created under Chief Choi and I, and the car started driving automatically and headed towards the parking lot.
A magic circle lifted us into the air and guided us into the magic tower.
It would be more accurate to call it a magic stepping stone.
As expected, the magic tower is the magic tower.
A place that is at the cutting edge of cutting edge technology.
It was definitely a more advanced technology than what I had seen in Seoul.
“You’re here!”
As soon as I arrived at the research lab, the wizard who had been there before greeted me.
An old man who looks to be in his seventies and has gray hair.
However, the subtle magical waves that are emitted cannot be ignored.
Maybe level 6.
The wizard responsible for implementing the polarization.
I politely greeted the responsible wizard.
“Thank you for inviting me. I am Kim Jeon Sa, a level 3 superhuman.”
“Haha, I’ve heard your name a lot. Aren’t you the one who overcame the curse of the unlucky black cat and defeated the cat knight who was running wild like a thunderbolt in one-on-one? What’s more, you’re the only one in the world who possesses black flames.”
“You are too kind. I have also heard the name of the famous magician, Yu Myeong-seok, many times.”
“Oh? Do you know me?”
“Yes. You are the designer of the Sunfire and the priest of the Tower Lord.”

“You know this person. I guess you have quite a few connections.”
The responsible wizard smiled as if he was in a good mood.
I too, barely remembered the name the magic spirit told me.
“Please go. There is much to do.”
“Don’t I just need to implement Black Flame?”
“That’s right. However, due to its nature, black flame is difficult to capture in data. As you know, divine power and magic are incompatible.”
“Aha, I guess it doesn’t fit well into the magic measurement?”
“You know exactly. I wonder if we can finish it today.”
“I came prepared to sleep for a few days, so don’t worry.”
“Thank you very much for your kind words.”
The place the responsible wizard took me was deep inside the research department.
Since I didn’t know when it would end, Director Choi went back and I went in alone.
A place where magic circles and science labs coexist.
The wall monitors were constantly displaying complex data, and magical spirits were busily analyzing research materials.
While I was watching the scene, the responsible wizard left for a moment.
“Superhuman, could you please wait a moment? I have a few things to prepare.”
“Oh, yes. Feel free to do so. I’ll be right here.”
“Thank you. Please say hello to my assistants here and take some basic measurements first.”
What’s left are the assistants of the responsible wizard.
It cannot be underestimated.
Because there were people with the titles of Senior Researcher, Chief Researcher, and Level 3, Level 4, and even Level 5.
A level 5 wizard.
A man in his late twenties extended his hand to me.
“Nice to meet you. I am Park Hyeong-ju, a senior researcher.”
“I’m Kim Jeonsa. Nice to meet you.”
“I don’t have time, so should I start with work?”
Just indifferent eyes.
It’s like looking at a rock rolling on the side of the road.
A markedly different attitude from the responsible wizard who had been so kind to me.
It can’t be helped.
The level is high.
Moreover, he is a wizard and a superhuman.
In this world, levels are bullies, and warriors and wizards don’t get along very well. They are each other’s natural enemies.
“Yeah.”
It doesn’t matter.
It’s been a few days since we last saw each other.
All I have to do is somehow trick the responsible wizard into learning only the Sunfire.
I followed the senior wizard to the measuring device.
A multi-focus, three-dimensional magic circle that occupies space.
A measuring device in the form of a glass tube standing tall in the center.
Something I’ve seen a lot of.
A small shock hit the back of my head.
‘It’s an ultra-precision measuring device!’
An object that exists only as an illustration in the game.
According to the settings, characters recruited through drawing are said to bring the results of this device’s measurements.
That summary is the character card.
Everything about the character is written here.
Starting with height, weight, blood type, personality, traits and rank, and even intimate secrets.
I don’t know if the ultra-precision measuring devices of this world are exactly the same as the game or not.
But one thing is certain.
The fact that my current characteristics and my growth limits will all be read.
perhaps······
Even the ability to switch traits.
You must never enter there.
“You’re going to use that? For me?”
“Yes. This is only a basic measurement. It is necessary for research on black salt. We need all the data on why black salt is expressed and how it is expressed.”
That sounds plausible.
But you want to take out all that money by giving away a membership card?
Don’t be a jerk!
I crossed my arms and blurted out.
“I refuse.”
“Okay, then let’s go in… Huh? What did you say?”
“I refuse. Bring me the contract. Where does it say that you are carrying out ultra-precision measurements? The only contracts I have signed are for the black flame demonstration and research cooperation. I have never agreed to ultra-precision measurements.”
“This is a necessary procedure for black salt research.”
“Then let’s pretend it never happened. I’ll go.”
Where do you sell medicine?
He rolled his eyes as if nothing had happened, but there was an anxious light deep in his eyes.
It smelled bad.
badly.
I don’t know if it was the responsible wizard or someone else who instigated it, but it was clear that someone was after my information.
The senior wizard hastily waved his hand.
“Your Majesty, I think there is a misunderstanding. This is a truly necessary procedure. If you do not know about your Majesty, you will not be able to properly analyze the Black Flame.”
“Then shouldn’t you have written it in the contract in advance?”
“I regret that the contract was not properly written. But isn’t it too much to break the contract here? I will personally compensate you, so please calm down and······”
“You have to do it according to the contract, according to the contract! If you’re not going to do it according to the contract, why did you sign the contract? If you change your mind now, how do you know you’ll change your mind later? Can you take responsibility for this? Where did the responsible wizard go? Yes?”
I deliberately raised my voice.
This is the voice of a warrior-type superhuman.
Although it had neither a scream nor a roar, its thunderous volume spread throughout the research lab.
A brief silence flowed through the busy and noisy research lab.
A senior wizard who clenches his fists secretly.
A slight redness appears at the corner of the eyes.
I’m so pissed.
If we fight properly, he’s a guy who can’t even fight me.
And that too on his home ground.
But if you don’t go hard, you’ll get sucked right down to your spine.
I opened my eyes wide, determined to kill a few of them even if it meant dying.
He crossed his arms and shouted without touching the holy sword on his waist.
“No, what is this?”
It was then that the responsible wizard returned.
The senior wizard bowed to the responsible wizard in a desperate manner.
“That’s because the superhuman being refused the basic measurement.”
“Basic measurements? Why? Sir, is there a problem?”
“You only need to do basic measurements to do it. You say you’re going to do ultra-precision measurements. Am I crazy? Why do you think I’m going to strip you of my bottom and show you?”
He pointed quietly at the measuring device.
A measuring device that is obviously extraordinary to anyone.
Not a basic measuring device, but an ultra-precision measuring device.
Wiggle.
The responsible wizard raised one eyebrow sharply.
Then he slapped the senior wizard with all his might.
A snap, a sharp sound rang out.
“Park Hyung-joo, you punk! Are you doing that again?”
“Chae, sir. There’s a misunderstanding!”
“You brat! A level 5 brat isn’t researching magic and is looking somewhere else? Elder Cho is pitiful. Should I cut off your hand this time? If you’re going to sell the data, you should have researched it yourself, gathered clinical trial subjects, and extracted the data! How dare you shit on my research? There’s only one human on Earth with black flames, and if you get hit, you’re going to take responsibility for it all.”
“That’s not it!”
“What the hell is this, you idiot! Should I bring the CCTV and check it? Huh? Should I call a disciplinary committee in front of Elder Cho? Huh?”
“I······ am sorry. I was momentarily blinded by greed.”
A responsible wizard who screams loudly.
You have a temper.
Who would say I’m not a fire attribute wizard?
The senior wizard couldn’t hold out any longer. He bent his waist at a 90-degree angle and lowered his head so that the crown of his head was visible.
But I guess the anger still persists.
The responsible wizard roughly tore off the senior wizard’s name tag.
A force that is hard to believe for someone over seventy years old.
“Get out! You’re not a senior researcher or anything anymore!”
“Sir!”
“Get out!”
The senior wizard hesitated, then received another slap to the face and ran away.
It was an embarrassing scene even for me, who was the one who started it.
As I was blankly watching, the responsible wizard bowed down to me.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Kim. I showed you something you couldn’t bear to see.”
I feel a bit bad seeing my old man with white hair like this.
I mean, he’s older than my deceased father.
And honestly, I felt a little relieved when I beat the senior wizard up a bit earlier.
I quickly grabbed the responsible wizard and got him up.
“No, no. It’s okay. Get up.”
“It’s all because of this old man’s mismanagement of the research center. No matter how much Elder Cho begged, he wouldn’t accept me as a research center… Please forgive my lack of virtue.”
“I told you it’s okay.”
The responsible wizard stood up, pretending not to be defeated.
Is this what you were aiming for?
But the eyes that looked into it with suspicion were too clear.
Like an innocent boy.
It was shining only with regret and guilt.
Even I, who has gotten the hang of it so many times that I have become good at understanding people, can tell that he is being sincere.
If this were acting, it would be worthy of the year-end grand prize.
“That person earlier, did he have a record?”
“Yes. That idiot was blinded by gambling and stole and sold the secrets of the Magic Tower. If his master hadn’t been Elder Jo, he would have been excommunicated long ago. After years of self-restraint, this guy is doing it again······”
“Then what about this time?”
“That, that’s it······”
My pupils shook as if there was an earthquake.
As expected, the arms should bend inward.
It seems he slapped her in an attempt to minimize the aftermath.
The responsible wizard gestured in the air in a panic.
The magical wave spreads and the watch worn by the responsible magician sparkles.
“I upgraded your membership level as an apology. I should have given you something good, but since I don’t have much, this is all I can give you.”
“What is your membership level?”
“Yes. It will be useful. You can receive benefits from our Matop commercial facilities and affiliated financial companies.”
okay?
Not bad.
Because it’s good for buying magic weapons and various materials at the store.
You may also switch your banking transactions to Matap Bank.
As I was thinking calmly, the responsible wizard finally mentioned the merit that made my ears perk up.
“Yes. You can also use our Magic Tower training facility.”
“A training facility? A wizard training course?”
“Oh, do you know?”
Of course I know.
There are several traits you can gain during the wizard training process.
Although we have acquired a significant number of them, there are still many characteristics that we have not yet acquired.
The thought of eating the special dish made my mouth water.
“Yes, I understand. I will be grateful.”
“Hehe, I’m glad you like it.”
The responsible wizard burst into laughter.
While doing so, he sends a silent nod.
Let’s just agree to this extent and move on.
It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
I’m only a level 3 warrior.
If a magician belonging to the Magic Tower tries to do something and goes all the way, he may end up quietly buried in a back alley.
As evidence, the surrounding gazes were not kind.
Everyone except the responsible wizard was giving them cold looks.
“Superhuman, may we begin?”
“Yes, of course.”
The measurements taken directly by the responsible wizard were clean.
Everything was according to the contract.
After finishing the measurements in a good mood, I ran towards the magic training ground.
Even in the magic training grounds, there is a lightning magic training ground.
The [Lightning Resistance] trait was right in front of us.
The last piece of the six attributes.
“what?”
“Why is the warrior here?”
“At the research department earlier······”
Has the rumor already spread?
Ignoring the skeptical wizards, I started the training program.
That was when.
Tsk tsk!
The ring vibrated.
I got goosebumps all over my body and the back of my neck felt tense.
