Flame Stacking Kim Magic -1-

Flame Stacking Kim Magic

“Hello. I am Kim Jeon-sa, a level 3 superhuman.”

Kim Magic opened his mouth slightly.

“Nice to meet you. Warrior Kim······ Superman? My name is Kim Magic.”

A look of mixed curiosity and surprise.

It’s an expression like looking at a strange animal.

Kim Magic was saying this with his eyes.

How is the person’s name Kim Jeon-sa?

Mom, you’re no pushover either.

How is a person’s name Kim Magic?

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Kim Magic. I am Warrior Kim.”

“Treat me with kindness. I am just an apprentice wizard. I am only level 1.”

“But aren’t you a member of the Sun Tower? Since you are the grandson of the Lord of the Tower, I’m sure you will soar to a high level someday.”

“that is······”

Kim Ma-beop smiles faintly as if he is embarrassed.

Matapju clicked his tongue.

“That’s the problem. It’s our tower’s long-cherished wish.”

“yes?”

Actually, I know all the details.

But you have to pretend not to know even though you know.

The top priest began to explain on his own.

“This guy is too stupid to be a wizard. He was awakened to level 1, but he can’t go any higher. If you only consider his potential, it says he should be able to reach level 5, but do you know how his grandfather feels when he stopped at level 1 because he was too stupid?”

The problem is this.

Intelligence.

As expected of a tutorial character, and a born N-class character, Kim Magic is missing a screw.

Among the six abilities of strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, spirit, and magic power, intelligence is lower than that of other wizards.

Starting characteristic is [Magic Bullet].

Even though it’s from the Sun Tower, it’s not a [Fireball].

It becomes useful only if you send them to an academy and equip them with the [Magic] trait or complete a personal quest to change jobs.

Considering that Kim Jeon Sa has no starting trait and has low abilities overall, it’s a similar situation.

It means that I wasn’t panting for nothing while training at the neighborhood park for the first time.

“You say you’re not smart? No way. You seem smart.”

“It’s because Grandpa’s expectations are too high.”

Kim Magic came out to me and complained.

“Even though I look like this, I’m studying business administration at Seoul National University. And yet you don’t like me so much······”

“Tch! You should have enrolled in the magic department. Those who chose the liberal arts have a lot to say! At the very least, if you had gone to the medical or physics department, I wouldn’t be doing this! Oh my, both your parents are magicians. I wonder who you take after.”

“I said it’s because you take after your grandfather?”

“If that were the case, Yonsuk, you would have been first in the whole country, not just the whole school!”

I have a rough idea of the situation.

This is a water drop.

You’re a wizard but you can’t do math?

There is nothing as deadly as this.

In the game, low intelligence seems to be applied in this way.

I opened my mouth after watching my grandson’s argument with interest.

“Is the problem that Mr. Magic is bad at math?”

“Yeah! I told you this guy is really a liberal arts student. A while ago, he made a fuss about writing a web novel and drove me crazy.”

“I heard that your grandfather also wrote poetry when he was young!”

“That was just a hobby I enjoyed for a while. You should do it as a hobby too. I won’t stop you. Instead, raise your superhuman level to level 5.”

“How do you avoid getting the magic into your head?”

“It’s because you didn’t try hard enough, you punk!”

“When did you say that your head was the problem!”

“This guy?”

As Matapju raised his arms exaggeratedly, Kim Magic pretended to cover his head.

They are good grandparents.

When I smiled brightly, Matapju coughed in vain.

“Hmm, hmm, I must have looked bad in front of the guests.”

“No. I envy you because you get along so well.”

“This guy is the only grandchild I have. Other guys have a lot of grandchildren, but this guy is the only one I have. That’s the only thing I envy. My son should have put in some effort… Hey!”

“Is it important to have many children? What’s important is how well they are raised. If you’re a business school student at Seoul National University, aren’t you in the top 0.1% in Korea?”

“Ugh! That’s fine. But I wish he could grow into a proper wizard, but that’s not the case, so that’s the problem. To be honest, his talent isn’t lacking. It’s the fact that he’s separated from our magic tower that’s the problem.”

Finally, the main point comes.

Matapju took a sip of his coffee and spoke as if grumbling.

“Like other magic towers, our magic tower has a bit of a serious feel to it. It requires extremely precise mathematical calculations to implement magic. If there’s a mistake in the formula calculation, the magic will likely backfire or explode, rendering the magician crippled.”

“What if you get help from an artifact, a magical spirit, or a computerized body? Or even just inserting a terminal?”

“Because there is a limit. Up to level 3 or 4, you can use what you mentioned to grow quickly. The problem starts from level 5. The wall of levels you pass will become an insurmountable wall that blocks your path. Even using nectar or ambrosia won’t help. As a grandfather, I can’t sell my grandson’s future to buy him the present.”

“Well, that’s true. Well then. What if I taught you magic that doesn’t require mathematical calculations?”

You got the answer right away.

Matapju also nodded his head.

“That was exactly the solution our Magic Tower came up with. In fact, there are quite a few people who have potential but are too weak to become magicians. My cousin eventually converted and became a priest.”

It’s a problem that can occur anywhere.

The most essential abilities for a wizard are intelligence, magic power, and stamina.

Born into a family of wizards, but you’re a wizard and a brainiac?

There is nothing more miserable than that.

Even if I become a superhuman, I won’t be a wizard.

“Since the Sun Tower has a long history, it seems like it would have been studied for a long time, so why is it still a long-standing wish?”

“It hasn’t been long since our Matap seriously addressed this issue. During the Joseon Dynasty, or even during the Japanese colonial period, it was considered a personal shortcoming and passed over. It was only after World War II that the individuality of individuals was recognized.”

“Is that so······”

It is similar to how the nobles of the Joseon Dynasty only sold Confucian classics.

“I did some research, but the lack of results is also a problem. I have developed several magic circuits. However, their destructive power is lacking. No, what are we going to do if a level 3 magic circuit just starts a fire and ends there? This is not a way to call me a magician. The magic circuits for a magic swordsman are fine, but look at this shabby body. Is this a body that can be used as a warrior-type superhuman?”

I saw Kim’s magic once.

He is definitely thin and has no muscle at all.

A body that is absolutely impossible for a swordsman, even if he is a scholar or a magician.

“I understand why the Lord of the Tower is worried. But why are you telling me this? I am a warrior. It is difficult for me to be of much help in developing magic circuits for magicians.”

“Even though I look like this, I’ve heard a lot since I’m the leader of a magic tower.”

The top stares at me intently.

“You said you were the one who treated Representative Seo’s son?”

“Did you know?”

“Everyone who knows knows. And I saw the black flame with my own eyes today. I’m telling you this just in case. I’m a wizard myself, but wizards often become narrow-minded because they believe that magic is the only way to survive. With one of the best fire abilities on Earth, you might come up with a brilliant idea.”

A look of anticipation.

Of course, not 100%.

There was a deeper underlying skepticism and cool-headed observation than expected.

Then I have to destroy it.

I know very well the answer to the question of how the final quest of this quest, the Sun Tower’s long-cherished desire, will be resolved.

“How about using spirits?”

“government ordinance?”

“Yes. Not an artificial spirit, but a real spirit. The problem is the magic chanting. Since the formula calculations don’t work, you can’t cast magic. You can leave that to the spirit and just supply the magic power.”

“Hmm, that’s impossible.”

Matapju showed an expression of blatant disappointment.

“The gods are dead and the gates to the spirit world are closed. After the magical science revolution, spirits are nowhere to be found in the natural world. Only those who are born with an incredible affinity for spirits can become spirit masters. How can this guy become a spirit master when he doesn’t have even a speck of affinity for spirits?”

“I’m not telling you to make a contract with the spirits. I’m telling you to utilize the spirits.”

“Explain it clearly and specifically.”

“I heard that the magic circuits of the Sun Tower are basically intended to reproduce fire, heat, and the sun.”

“That’s right.”

“Then why can’t the fire spirit be recreated?”

“Huh?”

“You can only engrave one magic into the magic circuit. Of course, you can control the form and intensity of the manifestation. The magic power goes to the user, and the magic circuit does the magic. If you divide it like this, not only the door and the head, but even the stone head can use magic.”

“hmm.”

Matapju was lost in thought for a moment.

“No matter how much I think about it, that’s not a wizard?”

“I’m not a wizard.”

“hmm······”

“The choice is up to the Magic Tower Lord and the magicians. But think about it. Would you rather have your grandson be a level 3, or at best a level 4, magician by infusing him with magic spirits and artifacts? Or would you rather educate him well and raise him to be a level 6, or maybe even a level 7 pyromancer?”

Pyromancer!

Matapju seemed to be fixated on that word.

This is also the correct direction for Kim Magic’s growth.

Rather than feeding them nectar and turning them into pyromancers, it’s much better to hire a natural R-rank pyromancer.

“Pyromancer, Pyromancer······”

Matapju rolls the four-letter word around in his mouth.

Soon a pleased smile spread across his lips.

After all, a pyromancer is also a superhuman of the wizard series.

But soon his face hardened.

“There is one problem.”

“What is it?”

“The door to the spirit world is closed, so I cannot summon the fire spirit.”

There is currently only one spirit master known to the world.

He is a spirit of water and ice.

The spirit of fire that has been kept in the Sun Tower since the Goryeo Dynasty is, strictly speaking, different from the spirit of fire.

You’re not asking me to open the gate to the spirit world, are you?

Luckily, I knew an alternative.

“Please use the spirit water.”

“Spirit water? Are you talking about divine water?”

“yes.”

“Shinsoo, shinsoo······ That’s right! There was a phoenix!”

The top priest lowered his knees.

“If I catch a phoenix, replicate its heart, blood vessels, and nervous system, and create a magic circuit… This will work! No, I could just transplant the phoenix circuit! Pyrotechnics, phoenix pyrotechnics! Hahaha! Why didn’t I know this? Asking you for advice was a stroke of genius! Hahaha! Who would have thought there’d be such a lucky charm in the world!”

“Ugh! Why are you doing this!”

“Why are you doing this! We should be dancing on this beautiful day!”

The top priest grabbed me and started to dance.

It was an excitement that did not match his solemn face and strict suit at all.

When an old man in his eighties does something like that, I can’t just sit still.

We had no choice but to dance together.

Like a crooked, broken wooden doll.

Kim Ma-beop also joined in, sighing deeply.

It turns out that whenever Matapju was in a good mood, he would secretly dance the Maktap dance with his grandson.

“ha ha ha!”

Matapju burst into hearty laughter.

“I should have invited the warriors to talk to me earlier. Warriors definitely have different perspectives than wizards. Hey, what’s the point of having a hundred meetings with only those stubborn old men and women? The same thing always comes up.”

Actually, that’s not true.

In the end, the magician concludes that he must catch the phoenix and transplant its heart, blood vessels, and nervous system.

The [Phoenix Flame Technique] trait is created there.

It’s not as good as the polarity and solar flare, but it’s still pretty useful.

Matapju stopped laughing and became serious.

Then he looks at me.

That exact expression you see on your smartphone screen.

“So, I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Please speak.”

“Can you catch an immortal? I don’t need a thousand-year-old divine beast. A fifty-year-old, or even twenty-year-old young one would be best. That way, I can transplant it into my grandson without any rejection.”

“Is it telling you to find the Valley of the Phoenix?”

“You heard correctly.”

Phoenix Valley.

Simply put, it is a colony of phoenixes.

It is a place where the great divine phoenix periodically visits to lay eggs.

Of course, it is hidden by the power of the Phoenix, and is difficult to find even for high-level superhumans.

“I’m asking just in case.”

The conditions for the rooftop terrace were clear.

“If you find the Phoenix Valley, I will reward you with anything you want. If you ask for the position of Honorary Elder of the Tower Lord, I will accept it. It doesn’t have to be the Phoenix Valley. Just bring me one twenty-year-old baby phoenix to transplant to my grandson and I will reward you without any regrets.”

However, there will be a big difference in compensation.

Baby phoenix?

Although it is a rare animal, it is not so rare that the Sun Tower cannot obtain it.

The key is the Phoenix Valley.

Well then, I guess it would be a good idea to make a deal here.

I took a proper posture and looked at the top of the tower.

“You’ll give me anything?”

“That’s what happened when I discovered the Valley of the Phoenix.”

“I have no intention of making a fuss over a few baby phoenixes either.”

“I promise you once again, if you succeed in exploring the Valley of the Immortal, I will give you anything.”

“Is it a sunfire?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s a solar fire. A solar fire.”

Matapju looks at me in confusion.

He starts to snicker.

I guess he thought I was just trying it out.

“Oh, well, I can give you the sunfire too. If you can use it.”

“I’ll give you a memory chip. Don’t waste time saying things like you need to learn basic magic or imprint your magic circuits.”

“Well, I said I’d give it to you as soon as you found the Phoenix Valley. Why, don’t you believe me?”

“No. I believe it.”

Matapju laughed, saying it was a funny joke.

I laughed too.

A laugh just came out.

because.

Because I already knew the location of Phoenix Valley.
