“They said they don’t have money… The magic exercise book is well made.”

As a magic tower with all its technological capabilities, the magic practice room was also at an incredible level.

Not only is there a scarecrow golem that repairs itself even if broken, but there is even a device installed to distort space so that it can move around in a wider area than the space it occupies.

Usually, they put food on the table when taking a break, but unfortunately, the welfare system is not very good yet, so the only thing to drink here was purified water.

I’ll have to deal with these later.

What was more important now than the welfare of this place was Irina’s use of blood magic.

“Woo, wooot… ”

An hour after teaching you how to fly.

I was speechless as I watched Irina float in the air for a moment and then fall down again.

Of course, it would take a lot of time to fly as fast as I did while maintaining balance, but this technique is extremely difficult just to hover in the air.

In my case, it was naturally more difficult because I had to create technology from scratch, but even taking that into account, Irina’s growth rate was abnormal.

‘I did it in one hour… !!’

The jaw-dropping sight.

Genius.

It was a talent that could easily be called a disaster sent from heaven.

Since it was blood magic that was not well known and had to be cultivated one by one from the beginning, it only stayed at this level. If it had been in another magic tower, it might have long ago surpassed the highest-ranking wizard and become a candidate for the magic tower lord.

It was closer to the fact that his talent had been hidden since he came to the Blood Tower.

But that too is over now.

Since blood magic was created based on blood magic, Irina’s talent fully blossomed when she began learning from me, who had reached the peak of blood magic.

It is true that I came up with the idea of creating wounds on the body and maintaining them through blood magic, but the fact that she did it as soon as she heard about it and maintained it continuously means that Irina is amazing.

‘Is it possible for me not to go out of my way to do something like this? !’

When it came to Irina, the elders also showed the appearance of an old man with no money to spare.

I felt like I understood that feeling.

If my granddaughter is talented, charming, and cute, what grandmother or grandfather wouldn’t like it?

There are a lot of things I will teach in the future, and my mouth is already starting to water at the thought of teaching them.

‘this… ‘Maybe we can move up the plan.’

If Irina learns this quickly, it may be possible to raise her overall level even earlier.

I laughed a lot.

“Phew… ”

Jeoktap’s office.

A man sitting on a chair that seemed to resemble fire looked down at the pad with a pensive expression.

“Why does this happen… ”

At first, I thought there had been an accident.

That was natural.

Clearly, the Ether Tower could be said to be a tower that symbolizes Etherna itself, and it is right for the Great Sage Etherna to exist as the highest administrator.

Since the owner of the Ether Tower is Ether Nine, it is natural that he is the top administrator.

The man believed so.

But with this incident, things went wrong.

He was feeling intense anger at the fact that the suddenly appeared little lord of the Blood Tower had not only taken the position of top administrator but had also formed a personal relationship with Eterna.

Just the emotions he felt were enough to heat the air around him, creating an upward current that caused his hair and beard to rise upward.

“Me, Red Tower Lord… ”

For the wizard watching from the side, it was a death experience.

The man he called Jeoktapju had been in a low mood lately.

While old wizards usually occupy a seat in the Senate, the position of the tower owner is a little different.

Regardless of age, if you reached the highest level of magical achievement and level appropriate for that position, you would be promoted to the position of tower owner.

In most cases, talented people rise to that position.

As an old wizard, it may have felt bad to have to cater to the moods of someone much younger than him, but the man in front of him was a being who had the power to burn him in an instant.

A man who drops a meteor from the sky when he gets angry.

The Archmage of Flame, Igrius.

“You think so too, Firis.”

“Yes, yes… It is indeed so… ”

It’s starting again.

Firis sighed deeply on the inside, but flattered him on the outside, catering to the mood of the Red Tower.

“This cocky little guy… How can a little boy who hasn’t even had blood on his head yet be so close to Eterna? You can have a personal relationship!”

‘How do I know that… ‘

Firis was going crazy.

Why on earth should I get caught in the middle of a war of nerves between top companies and end up like a shrimp fighting with a whale?

As a man who had been struggling as a high-ranking wizard at this age due to lack of talent, all I could do was ask him to let me go.

But it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t understand why he reacted that way.

“Even among magic tower lords, there are ups and downs… ”

1st place in powerlessness.

No. 1 in awareness.

If you decide to go to Magic Tower, Jeok Tower is the best.

Right now, Firis, he also said that Jeoktap was the best, so he came here and made a good living for the rest of his life.

In fact, if you had to choose the most famous and preferred tower among the towers, it was definitely the Red Tower.

If I were to choose a place with the most money, I would choose Iron Pagoda, but if you want a comfortable atmosphere and a fun life at a magic tower without discrimination, White Tower is preferred.

However, if you were to pick the best magic tower overall, it would definitely be the Red Tower!

Even when subjugating monsters that other magic towers hesitate to do, the magicians in the enemy tower can be completely wiped out with just one fire spell.

Naturally, the status of the tower overshadowed the status of the magic tower owner, so if you were to pick the last place among them, it could definitely be said to be the blood tower.

But the Blood Tower was different.

They are poor beggars, have the fewest number of people, receive the least support, and use blood magic, which is considered the most obscure type of magic.

Unlike Jeoktap, which is prestigious and has a deep-rooted history, Bloodtap is a new discipline that has only recently been established!

How dare you rub it?

The owner of the red tower deserved to be angry.

“Then how about this?”

Firis suddenly had a good idea and smiled.

I probably wanted to get out of this situation quickly anyway, so the best thing to do in this case was to make a clear offer and take advantage of the opportunity to get out.

It was the wisdom of life he had learned after surviving in the Magic Tower for a long time.

Getting old means surviving…

“It was posted on the bulletin board that it was decided to hold the World’s Best Magic Tower competition during the season when the fire spirit plays.”

“World’s Best Magic Tower Competition? I’ve seen it before… ”

Igrius tilted his head and looked at the pad.

“This World’s Best Magic Tower Competition is said to have been founded by Eterna, who saw the magic towers competing for rank, to create an opportunity. Most likely, all magic towers will want to raise their status in this competition.”

“Okay… I guess so.”

As I read the content, I thought about the explanation Firis added.

That means… ?

“In other words, how about taking advantage of this world’s best magic tower competition to compete to see which magic tower’s magic tower lord is the strongest? I’m pressing the nose of the arrogant blood tower. It is natural that we can use public opinion to pressure them into refusing, and since the enemy tower will have an overwhelming advantage, it is certain that the blood tower lord will suffer a humiliating defeat while being engulfed in our flames.”

“Oh… I see.”

Igrius burst out laughing.

If you challenge a fight under the pretext of a low knight or world’s greatest demon tower competition, no matter how much of a blood tower lord you are, you will not be able to refuse.

Considering the speech he gave last time, he must have been working hard to raise the status of the Blood Tower, but wouldn’t rejecting his duel request lower the status of the Blood Tower?

Well, there’s nowhere else to fall.

”How are you?“

”Mmmmm.“

good night.

very good

Others would have accepted it.

but…

Igrius raised his head and glanced at Firis.

And then he confidently opened his mouth.

”But I refuse.“

”… Yes?“

Firis asked stupidly.

”One of Igrius’ favorite things is to say ‘no’ to subordinates who plan cowardly schemes.“

”What… “

What kind of bullshit is this?

Before Firis, who was dumbfounded, could respond, Igrius stood up.

”Do you think I would do something that only super cowards would do? I will proudly challenge the Blood Tower lord right now. If you don’t accept it… I can’t help it, but.“

Jeoktapju thought.

There’s no way I wouldn’t accept it anyway.

I already felt like I wanted to burn this thing down, or at least hit Meteor in the Blood Tower, but the easiest thing was to just go and beat it up.

”I went to the Blood Tower for a moment!“

Firis lifted his glasses as he watched Igrius disappear in an instant.

”It’s more than just a rumor… “

A moodist who behaves as he pleases.

A walking disaster.

If the suit is wrong, it’s a bastard that starts from Meteor.

But he is a proud and noble bastard anytime, anywhere.

So you can hate him.

Those were the words used to evaluate the Red Tower owner, Igrius.

There was really no difference.
