I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 114

Only I Am the Magic Tower Lord Episode 114

“Yeah. Non-combat kids. They too… have a hard time. It must be hard.”

He said, rolling the wine glass in his hand to the president of the association.

“One-third of a player’s value is due to their ‘unique ability,’ right? Some people say it’s only half, and some people say it’s everything about a hunter. It’s too bad. I’m also someone who works in education, so non-combat kids go through special screening. “We keep recruiting for the same things, but the kids aren’t growing as well as they should. The school is so focused on the universalism of ability that the kids are dying.”

She gulped down the wine like it was water. I quickly stood up and politely poured new wine into my empty glass.

“In the end, all policies for non-combat children failed. Well, I started with very strong unique abilities from the beginning, so I lacked the sensitivity to care for non-combat children.”

Her golden eyes stared at me.

“But how do you plan to help those children? Hunter Yushin Kim.”

The president of the association must have tried many things like this.

However, in Korea, where the number of hunting grounds or dungeons is small in proportion to the population, growing a non-combat community is not realistically easy.

It would be hundreds of times more efficient to use that time to train potential combat-related talents and have them serve as human resources. That’s why the academy has the same atmosphere as it does now.

“President of the Association.”

I said, putting on a determined expression.

“I plan to share my abilities with non-combatants.”

Hongyeon’s eyes, who had been listening quietly, became as big as a flower lantern. The president of the association also had hiccups again and again.

“Sharing? Ha, but your senior’s ability is mana manipulation, right? You must have the corresponding unique ability to use it…”

“I’m sorry Hongyeon. Actually, that was a lie.”

I spread out my palm and created a magic circle.

shield.

Mana Arrow.

And gauntlets.

“It may be hard to believe, but this is actually a simple mana manipulation technique. It’s like the mana thread taught at the academy.”

The two people’s mouths opened.

“Of course, I have the unique ability to use this technique, so I grew quickly, but I plan to redefine the theory and share it so that ordinary non-combat players can learn it. Internal verification has already been completed, and there are definitely successful cases. .”

The two people were so surprised that they looked at each other and said nothing.

“……Of course it’s a really good idea, but wouldn’t it be too much of a loss to you if you do that?”

I know what she’s trying to say. Security is important for unique abilities.

Because being attacked creates too many variables in the battle, even professional hunters fight while completely hiding the basis of their abilities to avoid being analyzed.

Hunters don’t just fight monsters. Inside the dungeon, you fight with fellow humans and demons. There is nothing good about having your abilities known.

Moreover, the scarcity and value of the hunter in question are reduced. Currently, I am the only real wizard in the world.

However, it would never be beneficial for the parties involved to have talented people with the same skills.

However, even though I am aware of the many risks, I am saying that I will theorize the fundamental technology myself and share it with everyone.

‘Of course it appears that way to others. In reality, it’s different.’

If it was a loss-making business, I wouldn’t even start it. This business will bring me indescribable benefits. I’ll explain this in more detail later, but just to mention briefly.

I will have a ‘monopoly’ on magic on Earth.

“……Yushin.”

The president of the association was unaware of this fact and had a very confused expression on his face.

“Have you thought it through?”

“Of course. My resolve remains the same.”

“Why did you suddenly make that decision?”

I didn’t answer right away and closed my eyes. And sighed deeply.

Gurgling, the sound of two people drooling can be heard.

I hold back my emotions and open my mouth with a trembling voice.

“The Han Yun-jeong incident that occurred at this academy. It has nothing to do with me.”

“……ah.”

“Yoonjeong and I were friends who had been together for many years, even though we were not in the combat world. Then, as I grew up, I neglected my best friend. She constantly compared herself to me, falling into a terrible sense of entitlement and despair. That’s it, I ended up becoming a demon.”

I clenched my fists. As I become more and more immersed in the situation, my voice naturally trembles.

“I want to repent for my mistakes.”

“No, that’s your fault…”

“Even though others say it’s not my fault, it’s painful for me. I feel guilty. I want to be more proud of myself than I am now. The fundamental cause is the alienation of people with abilities in the non-combat field that is so severe that it’s deformed. If I sacrifice, this chain will end. “Maybe we can break the chain and give them hope.”

The two women were silent, and I squeezed out the words, immersing myself in my emotions as much as I could.

“…I think that is my final atonement for the dead Han Yun-jeong.”

… … Wow.

Don’t I think I’m so cool?

-The fact is that Han Yun-jeong is alive and well in Egypt, and this policy is also part of the magic monopoly to increase the influence of the tower owner.

‘Quiet. Ah. ‘Because it pricks my conscience.’

I finished speaking and opened my eyes.

Before I knew it, the president of the association was looking at me with wide eyes.

“Ugh, Kim Yu-shin! That guy like you is so…!”

for a moment.

It’s good that it worked for my acting. I have a bad feeling about this.

“Yooshinaaaaaa!”

Tangtangtangtang!

I was hit like I was hit by a 5-ton truck and hit the ground. The table we were sitting at fell over and food spilled out.

“Yoo-shin! Thank you so much! Thank you as the president of the association and as the president of the academy! You are so…! Ha, let’s hug one more time!”

Crack!

“Woah! President of the Association! My waist! My waist!”

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

People who were eating got up from their seats and looked this way. Hongyeon, with a red face, rushed in and pulled the association president’s arm.

“Sister! Wake up! Please be aware of your position…!”

“Aaaah! Yushinaaaa!”

“Sisyyy!”

The association president’s brilliant golden eyes met mine.

“Yes! Yushin! Try everything! Spread your wings wide! I will help you! I will help you with anything I can!”

I internally cheered.

Success!

Even though I lost my back, is the operation a success? I don’t know if it’s beneficial or not.

“Sister, please! People are watching!”

“Jooa! I changed my mind! I was going to give it to Yeon, but I guess I’ll have to eat it too!”

“yes?”

“Even though Yeon-i is young and young, her urgency and desperation are the greatest…!”

“Ugh! Ugh! What are you talking about!”

… … I feel like I’m at a loss.

* * *

The president of the association, who had been hugging me and making a fuss, eventually left after receiving an emergency call from the Hunter Association. I heard that another dungeon had opened somewhere, and I thought it was because I was a person who didn’t need even three bodies.

The calculation had already been made by the president of the association.

Hongyeon and I finished our meal and came out of the hotel. The day was slowly getting dark, and Hongyeon was on the phone somewhere.

“Yes, I can’t help it. It’s okay. Then.”

She turned off her smartphone and turned to me.

“what?”

“Driver Choi said it might take some time to drop my sister off.”

“hmm.”

I crossed my arms.

“It’s difficult. I didn’t bring my car either.”

“It’s okay. If you take the subway at this point…”

“Don’t make a big deal out of it.”

Hong Yeon is a star among stars who is currently enjoying peak popularity. If you use public transportation like the Seoul subway, people will flock like crazy. Hong Yeon herself will suffer, and in the worst case scenario, there are concerns that a safety accident may occur.

“Call your guild or management.”

“I am a hunter directly under the association.”

“Are there any cars there?”

“There is, but… I’m so sorry. It’s not about work, and it’s a bit like calling a public official to go home after playing…”

That’s what I heard.

It’s hard to get a taxi in this neighborhood, so I had to walk quite a bit. Looking at the high heeled shoes he is wearing, it must be hard work.

“When can your driver arrive?”

“You said you were going down to Bucheon, so about two hours….”

“It doesn’t take that long. I got a free meal, so I’ll wait for you while we kill some time together.”

Hearing those words, Hongyeon flinched and leaned back.

… … What is that reaction?

“Together?”

“Yes. Is there any problem?”

“……no.”

I was scratching my head and thinking.

“Then where should we go? Hmm. There’s no movie theater around here, and it’s a bit difficult to move your body because of your clothes, so maybe a cafe…”

“Anywhere is fine for me. I’ll go where my senior usually goes comfortably.”

I blinked.

“A place you usually go? Is that really okay?”

“Yes. Because my senior is deliberately giving me time.”

“You might regret it.”

“It’s really okay.”

If you say it’s okay that much, then what?

I also casually guided her to a place I often went to.

* * *

“Ugh, boss, you’re on edge again.”

I was going down the stairs to the basement and turning on the lights one by one.

There was a lot of dirty, old wallpaper.

“This guy blinks often… huh?”

Hongyeon was standing silently in front of the stairs leading to the basement.

“What are you doing there?”

“…Where are you taking me?”

Her reaction was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“It’s not a strange place. If you go once, it’ll be a unique experience, right? Follow me.”

I took her hesitantly inside.

“This place…”

Her eyes returned to the feast of countless books visible in all directions.

I took a deep breath as if I had come home.

The smell of old books, the pleasant basement smell, the smell of cigarettes, and even the smell of ramen and black bean paste. I really like this old retro feel.

“Oh my gosh, who is this? It’s been a while.”

A man from a comic book store with gray hair greeted me warmly.

“Ahaha! How have you been? I forgot to turn on the staircase light again.”

“Really? But anyway, all the regulars come by on their own. Hey, who is this pretty sexy girl? Is she your girlfriend?”

“I’m a junior at school.”

“Oh, hello.”

Hongyeon bowed her head in greeting.

“Oh, that’s right. I don’t think I should come to a place like this. I don’t know if there’s anything to see, but let’s take our time and rest.”

“thank you.”

The first thing I did was go to an old-fashioned vending machine, insert a bill, and pull out a bud from a pine needle.

“What do you want to do?”

Her pupils fluttered. All she sees are strange drinks. Dabang canned coffee, barley tea, grape drink, Makgeollicano, Bacchus, etc.

“Uh, um… I’ll just have a coke.”

I covered my mouth with pine needles and lifted up a leather clipboard with A4 papers piled haphazardly on it. I really miss the sight of the man’s signature crooked handwriting.

“Oh, I heard what I was looking for!”

“……yes?”

“Oh, please write when a new book comes in here. Let’s get a seat first.”

We slowly walked through the comic book store. The men who had already settled down were lying down on the sofa, immersed in their own world.

I also see familiar people. Some were sleeping with comic books on their faces.

“…?!”

And a red-haired girl wearing a dress that didn’t quite fit into this scene was looking around like a heroine who had fallen into another dimension.

“This way.”

“Ah yes!”
