Is it because all four people mentioned at first have been filled?

Helena immediately began constructing a magic circle.

Thanks to this, the scene that began to unfold before my eyes was not only mysterious, but amazing.

It felt like I was watching a fantasy movie as bright blue shining powder decorated the air according to the guidance of the wizards located around Helena.

The reason I was half-fazed was because of that.

“I heard the news. Not only is Soso in a romantic relationship with that wizard, right?”

I don’t know how he interpreted my reaction, but before I knew it, Tang Cheongpung came next to me and asked me that question in a very cold voice.

I couldn’t help but be shocked by that.

When they saw me shaking my shoulders like that, did they get it right and interpret it as something that people often do?

“If Soso gives permission, I don’t think it’s a matter for me to get involved in, but I think we need to have a conversation about it at least once. Yes… as a family.”

Was it just my mood that made me feel like the word family had more power than any other part?

That can’t be possible.

‘Oh, really… I can’t reveal here that I was actually just pretending to be a lover to get the Magic Tower Alliance to actively participate in the war…’

What if it was just me and Cheongpung who were here now?

I would have opened it without any hesitation.

However, not only Cheongpung but also magicians from the Magic Tower Alliance who were previously in charge of managing the terminal were also present here.

However, in such a situation, he proudly confesses that they were not really lovers, but that it was part of a ploy to attract the Magic Tower Alliance?

‘For now, nothing special will happen due to the terrorism issue, but…’

Once the issues related to terrorism are somewhat resolved, it will be my turn next.

From the perspective of the Magic Tower Alliance, they believe that at least one person must bear arms in order to appease the public sentiment that is boiling over due to terrorism.

How can you be sure of that?

That’s right… I’m used to the role of a punching bag…

People like me who have experienced being bullied by people all over the country can clearly see the angle at a glance.

So what can we do?

It’s unfair, but I have no choice but to keep my mouth shut for now.

That’s why I didn’t really respond to Cheongpung’s words… As a martial arts person who is basically overflowing with the spirit of winning, did he take my actions as a kind of provocation?

Ouch!

“Then, I understand that you have agreed… and I will contact you separately as soon as this matter is concluded.”

The hand that had been used just a moment ago to pat my shoulder as if to encourage it, as a superior usually does to a subordinate, was suddenly gripping my shoulder tightly.

Thanks to this, I once again learned that, as someone who has expertly learned arm techniques, his grip strength is perfect.

Dang So-so said the same thing, but if you learn the arm technique, does your grip naturally become stronger?

Anyway, it’s a shame because the part that was grabbed was the shoulder. What if it was the hand instead of the shoulder?

By now, he was probably twisting his body around like a squid on a grill.

It must have been a moment when the men were subtly confronting each other.

“Phew… I’m ready.”

Helena, who had been busy engrossed in something for a while while standing in the center of the sketch that was to be reborn as a magic circle, finally declared that preparations for the move were complete.

Helena’s face as she said those words looked clearly tired compared to before.

“First of all… I’ll take a moment to replenish some of the magical energy I’ve lost before moving on.”

I thought to myself as I watched Helena, with a slightly exhausted face, gulping down the unidentified liquid that another wizard had brought her.

If we go over to the other side through the now completed magic circle, it would be correct to say that Helena is actually out of her power.

That’s right, he looks so tired even before activating the teleportation magic. What will he be like after the magic power in his body has been sucked out in the aftermath of activating the magic?

After some time has passed, I should recover, but in fact, it seemed safer to move forward thinking that I was beyond my full potential.

“Well then… if everyone is ready, come up here.”

While I was thinking that, Helena, who had emptied the bottle full of blue glowing liquid, invited us up to the magic circle with a face that looked as if she had bitten into an astringent persimmon.

“One last thing to keep in mind before moving. Although we tried to increase stability as much as possible, it is still a temporary magic circle, so teleport sickness will be quite severe.”

“When you say it is severe, roughly how severe is it?”

“I think it would be difficult to move for at least 4 seconds after moving due to motion sickness.”

“4 seconds… It’s not as long as I feared. Even when I first used the official magic circle installed in the terminal, I remember suffering from motion sickness for about 3 seconds.”

Even though it was a temporary magic circle, the difference was only that small.

He certainly seems to have extraordinary abilities as a wizard.

“Then… I will assume that everyone is aware and move on.”

With those words, Helena lightly tapped the floor with the wand she was holding in her hand.

Paaa!

With the light bursting from the floor, my eyes turned bright blue.

Orson was originally a wizard.

An ordinary wizard born in a rural area in Europe where there are more cows and sheep than people.

Luckily, he was born with an aptitude for magic and was able to join the magic tower that was in charge of managing the area where he lived at a relatively young age, but that was it.

The path of magic was not easy to navigate with just an aptitude for magic.

He clearly had an aptitude for magic, but that was it.

Olson did not have the brains to come up with something that would amaze the world, nor the perseverance to make up for his lack of brains.

Therefore, even though he entered the Magic Tower at a relatively young age, he was unable to break away from the limitations of the 3rd Circle as he got older.

The feeling of inferiority he felt every time he was overtaken by those who entered the magic arts later than him, and the feeling of self-destruction he felt every time he had to be polite to those who had called him their senior not long ago.

Those things tormented him all the time, and eventually he was swallowed up by those feelings and came to blame his failure on the environment instead of his own shortcomings.

‘If only I had been born in the city and not in the countryside…!’

What about the vast grasslands and pastoral landscapes of his hometown, which he once loved?

Before I knew it, I had become an object of hatred.

‘If it weren’t for those guys…! I would have been given more support…!’

What about the classmates and juniors who shared joys and sorrows in the Magic Tower and came to think of themselves as a new family?

We no longer felt like family.

Instead of being a family member, it felt like an obstacle blocking his path.

At the moment when I was consumed by feelings of inferiority and self-destruction and spent my days drinking, I happened to meet ‘her’.

And meeting her completely changed his life, which had been nothing but failure.

That’s because meeting her opened my eyes to the truth.

That the magic path he was walking on was actually fake and that the true magic path exists separately.

And… the reason he has failed so far is not because he lacks ability, but because the world is wrong.

That’s how he walked the path of true magic… and joined a clan that worshiped the person who changed his life, which had been a failure, and helped correct the wrong world.

It was for that purpose that he was dispatched to a place that was less developed and remote than the town where he was born and raised.

‘I said all I had to do was watch until the magic circle exploded.’

It’s not that difficult at all.

In comparison, the compensation was enormous.

If this incident is completed safely, I will receive a corresponding offering as a reward so that I can raise my level to a higher level.

So, I was watching the magic circle in front of me and the fake wizards tied up there with such pleasure that I didn’t even feel bored.

The noise coming from the magic circle, which was shining bright blue as if it was about to explode at any moment, suddenly stopped.

The moment I reflexively opened my eyes wide…

‘···marble?’

A bead the size of a palm rolled out from the center of the magic circle.

Could it be that the teleportation magic has been activated now?

It seemed like it was because an unseen object suddenly appeared.

‘Tsk…’

To interfere needlessly…

Even so, nothing will change in the end.

It must have been the moment when I clicked my tongue in disapproval and took a step towards the guys tied up there in order to reactivate the magic circle that had become inactive.

Chirririririt-!

“Ugh?!”

A feeling as if I had been shocked by electricity ran through my body.

The moment I hurriedly pulled my body back, strange objects I had never seen before started popping out one after another from other magic circles located nearby.

“This, these… these crazy things…!”

Even if you interfere, do you still do it this way?

It looks like they are planning to throw this side into chaos like this and then come over to this side through one of the magic circles… Who would have thought they would fall for such an obvious trick?

Come on, come over.

The moment even one guy crosses over here, I’ll skewer him right away…!
