Episode 24. No Objections (2)

Marcelo doubted his ears.

A bunch of ?

Chief mage, the real power in the tower.

A position not easily attained.

Its not a position you can keep.

Not with ability.

To keep your place at the top.

you must be a constant performer.

Does this mean theres a problem with the discovery process?

Of course not.

Marcelo took great pride in his position as Chief Wizard.

But what?

Theres a gap in the exploration process?

Even adventurers?

And it was an adventurer who made that point.

Even the senior wizards who covet the top positions are keeping their mouths shut.

An adventurer, ignorant of magic.

How could he even raise such a question?

Crystal Hall.

Somethings happened.

With Marcelos personality, hell never be quiet.

Who is that guy anyway, Ive never seen him before?

No wonder the audience was roaring.

It was like throwing cold water on a great presentation.

Soon Marcelo would explode.

The senior, skilled wizard would turn into a viper, spewing venom at every turn.

Can we hear why you thought that?

Wait, what is that answer?

The audience was agitated.

They thought it was bullshit.

I thought it was a straw man.

I thought Marcelo was going to explode.

To have a reaction like that means.

Did I have a point?

A small voice asked.

Marcelo answered in his mind.

I have to admit it. There is a gap.

It was the disparity.

Magic and science were two different things.

The two concepts were fused to create new magic.

The process was grossly inefficient.

Marcelo alone had spent months trying to manifest this insignificant sphere of flame.

Even now, Marcelo was not convinced.

Its an unavoidable limitation.

But Marcelo is a man of great pride.

He would always be a wizard of the Tower.

Being criticized at a conference?

Not so much.

The quest for magic, for its essence, came first.

Thats why he asked the man.

Marcelos question.

And the eyes of the audience focused on the man.

The players who had been watching in silence chattered.

Hey, , wait, isnt that Lee Ho-yeol?

Did you just realize that hes a silver-haired Concept Chong?

See? I told you it was our class, but its an alchemist, dammit. Hes got that nobility oozing out of his body, just like our mage class.

Well, lets have some manners during the conference.

Etiquette.

Thats not even in front of Ho Yeol.

At the sound of that, the players quickly shut up.

Of course, Jesse straightened his back, ignoring the tin foil hats words from earlier.

He clasped his hands together at his navel, a very polite gesture.

Attention.

Mr. wah. Youre going to have a stomachache.

Id stutter if it were me. Really.

I just bit my tongue.

And every single one of those unkind stares was from a wizard of great stature.

It was intimidating.

There wasnt even a hint of nervousness in Ho-Yeols voice.

He was still seated in his crystal chair.

There was no change in his upright posture.

Then he said.

I too have experienced the disparity. Chief Wizard Marcelo.

Experienced it?

No, he realized that he had felt the gap before.

How did he recognize it?

Marcelo is puzzled.

Then, as if to comfort him, the voice said.

But its okay.

?

Hua-ryuk.

Immediately, flames erupted from Ho Yues palm.

The flames spun, transforming into a sphere of fire.

It looked exactly like Marcelos.

!!!

The sight sent the Crystal Hall into shock.

Of course, Ho Yue, the master of ceremonies, finished nonchalantly.

The interference process utilizes centrifugal force. The process is immature, but the result is not bad. Excellent presentation. Chief Wizard Marcelo.

*

Flare

A sphere of flame spun in my palm.

I swallowed a sigh.

I could have utilized like this.

An ignition Id been reluctant to use simply because of its poor horsepower efficiency.

But then I added a little elementary school science: centrifugal force, and that horsepower efficiency increased dramatically.

As you can see, I was able to maintain the ignition for a long time with less horsepower!

Im glad I came.

Chief Wizard Marcelos fireball wasnt the only one.

All of the spells presented at the conference were amazing.

At least well get something.

Yeah, he wouldnt be the only one worried about the competition.

Around the portal.

I could see the subtle undercurrents flowing between players and guilds.

That they were keeping each other in check.

Theres no way Id be able to keep up.

, why are your eyes so wide open?

Those assh*les look like a bunch of d*cks.

Maybe theyre just looking at you because youre cute?

Cute as f*ck.

Leonies eyes widened even more.

Weing

On her white wrist.

The smartwatch vibrated.

Leonie connected the call.

Ugh. Is the conference over already, or are you coming right over?

Guild rankings.

Twentieth, up one spot from twenty-first.

It wasnt unusual for the Berserker Guild to have a guild member who was invited to attend a regular meeting of the Martop.

It was.

What was strange was what the guild member said.

What? Lee Ho-yeol chose the chief mage?!

-Ah, sis, you really need to clean up your language! I didnt pick him, he was my enemy.

Thats it, Mr. Lee. Is that why you broke up with him?

No matter how good you are.

You have to show off.

Ive gotten my ass handed to me by the head mage, too.

Leonie stifled a snicker.

I figured it out when you were being a d*ck about food. I did.

Youre being a d*ck, sister.

The guild members clicked their tongues for a moment.

Leonie was stunned.

What, what?! You admit it, the Chief Mage?

The scoundrels had accepted a point?

It was unthinkable.

But the surprises werent over yet.

As if that wasnt bad enough, you even got a quest?

In that moment, Leonie imagined it.

A monster.

And its carrying a pagoda on its back.

A horrifying image from the Yusra Islands!

Burrrr-

Leonie felt a chill run down her spine.

This was not the time for this!

She quickly disconnected the call and spoke.

Were going fast. Get ready!

And the good news was.

It wasnt just for Leonie.

Yeah, Im listening.

this Ho-yeol?

Youre a mage after all, that bastard.

Similarly, the guild members who participated in the regular meeting.

When they heard the news, their expressions began to change.

What, he got a quest from the Demon King?

Arent we mistaken, is this authentic?

Bowing down in front of him? Is that even possible?

Brother. What do we do?

Lee Ho-yeol in Seoul.

He is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The mood in the Yusra Islands had changed completely.

*.

Naturally, I accepted Marosellos request.

[You have fulfilled the conditions].

[You will be rewarded].

I dont know what it was, but it was a quest.

A quest that no one could do even if they wanted to.

Its a linked quest!

Besides, I figured if it was a quest for the Magic Tower, the reward would be worth it.

Why, if I could get at least one item related to magic regeneration, it was a win-win.

By the way.

Where am I being taken?

Wheres the reward?

I followed Marcelo to the upper levels of the tower.

The stairs were out of the ordinary.

A dungeon.

I stepped into the void, and the marble that floated there supported my feet.

An amusement ride, I thought.

Wow, back in the day, I wouldnt have been able to take a single step.

Really.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

A wooden door similarly floating through the air.

In front of that antique door.

Marcelo turned to me.

This is the laboratory you will be using, Adventurer Lee Ho-Yeol.

Is this the first reward of the quest?

Then Marcelo added

If you need anything for your research, let me know.

What a treat.

I dare say its to be expected.

I might be the first player to be assigned a lab in a martop.

But nonchalantly.

I was taking it for granted.

I replied.

Then I will request the supplies I need right now.

On the desk.

Pen flicked across parchment.

1. magical tools related to magical regeneration.

Very confidently.
