    [A thought that came to mind after seeing the announcement…]

    [This is just who the Blood Tower Master is…]

    [I don’t want to get too excited, but I’m really looking forward to it]

    The Blood Tower forum began to explode with activity once again.

    As always, countless people were engaged in heated discussions about the latest announcement.

    Comments:

    – Upvote lolol

    – The amazing thing is that all of this is actually true lol

    ㄴ For real lol

    ㄴ Where does the Blood Tower Master get all this money from…?

    ㄴㄴ At this point, she must be secretly running some kind of business

    ㄴㄴㄴ Eterna’s backing is quite substantial~

    – Blood Tower Coin has completely skyrocketed lol. Any suckers who don’t know it’s already too late? lol

    ㄴ Upvote if you’re a former Blood Tower member who regrets leaving before it took off lol

    ㄴㄴ Upvote ㅠㅠㅠ

    ㄴㄴㄴ (Image of punching cone.jpg)

    ㄴㄴㄴ Get out of here, you bastard

    ㄴㄴㄴ As they say, losing faith means death…

    The comments were nothing but praise for Midir.

    It couldn’t be helped.

    After all, everyone was happy about the facility being remodeled.

    Most people were excited about finally being able to conduct research in good facilities, but…

    [A thought that came to mind after seeing the announcement…]

    I hope I’m just misunderstanding…

    It’s only been a year since she became the Blood Tower Master, but she’s doing so much that it worries me

    Of course, there were many things that needed changing, and none of it has been bad for us

    She’s normalized the Blood Tower so quickly when we didn’t even know where to begin fixing it, and it feels like I’m dreaming…

    Of course it’s not a dream but reality, and that’s what scares me more

    When Midir first gave her speech, I thought we would see our Blood Tower gradually transform over decades

    That’s how serious our Blood Tower’s condition was

    We were too poor, all facilities were outdated, public perception was terrible, and unlike other Magic Towers with well-paved paths, the Blood Tower was starting from absolute scratch

    The previous Blood Tower Master died from excessive blood loss after being driven mad by research pressure…

    Honestly, I thought we were about to collapse

    If it weren’t for Midir appearing like a comet, wouldn’t we have been kicked out by now?

    It makes me anxious that everything has changed 180 degrees in just one short year

    I feel like Midir might leave the moment the Blood Tower is completely normalized and her goals are achieved

    Anyway, I have mixed feelings

    Comments:

    – Now that you mention it, that does seem possible and it’s scary…

    ㄴ Yeah… honestly, it’s impossible not to feel anxious

    – That’s true… She changed things that should have taken years in just one year, so she might step down soon

    ㄴ That really can’t happen…

    ㄴㄴ She seemed to have so much affection for the Blood Tower, surely she wouldn’t…

    ㄴㄴㄴ Right? I hope this is just my imagination

    – The fact is that the Blood Tower is getting healthier

    ㄴ Why are you saying “getting healthier” lol

    ㄴ Why is this actually true lol

    ㄴ lolololololololololol

    – Why say bad things

    ㄴ I’m just saying it seems possible…

    ㄴㄴ (Slapping cone image.jpg)

    Some were worried that Midir might leave just like this.

    Their concerns were understandable.

    Magic Tower Masters don’t have term limits.

    They can retire whenever they want after finding a successor.

    Who could object if someone in the highest position decides to step down?

    Even without a Tower Master, the Council of Elders could lead the Magic Tower, and the biggest factor was that not a single Tower Master in history had ever voluntarily stepped down.

    What fool would kick away power with their own feet?

    That’s why no one thought a Tower Master would resign, but…

    Midir’s accomplishments in solving countless problems accumulated over a thousand years in just one short year seemed suspicious to anyone.

    As a result, they couldn’t erase their anxiety even if they wanted to.

    Everyone wants the position of Tower Master.

    But that only applies to ordinary people.

    Midir is strong enough to directly fight and win against even Eterna.

    While she might be lower than Eterna in versatility, she has proven herself to be a Transcendent whom even Eterna cannot handle.

    It’s hard to believe that someone like that would cling to the mere position of Blood Tower Master.

    But when such a person came to help personally and, instead of taking her time, completely transformed everything in just one year, anxiety was bound to spread.

    It seemed like she might hand over the position to a pre-selected successor after solving all the problems and leave the Blood Tower, like she was their idol now but would soon depart.

    She claimed to have come to help her juniors out of pity, calling herself Count Vladimir’s successor and researching his magic just by observation, so wouldn’t it make sense for her to leave once that was resolved? Their suspicions continued along these lines.

    Since Midir had revealed herself as Count Vladimir’s successor, such doubts were inevitable.

    But they didn’t worry too much about it.

    While their suspicions and concerns were real, what difference would their worrying make?

    If she decided to quit, they would certainly want to hold her back, but if such an amazing person wanted to step down, they could only assume she had her reasons.

    Above all…

    “GOAT”

    “Greatest Blood Tower Master of all time”

    Comments:

    – Wow, how much has happened in just one year…

    ㄴ It seemed like nothing happened, but so much actually did

    ㄴ The images only show what Midir did, but there were countless events behind the scenes…

    ㄴㄴ I still can’t believe there are so many people in the Blood Tower now lol

    ㄴㄴㄴ For real lol

    – The greatest. The strongest…

    ㄴ How far ahead did Count Vladimir see…

    ㄴㄴ Come to think of it, if she’s his successor, then Count Vladimir must have raised Midir too…

    ㄴㄴㄴ You’re right, damn

    They tried to calm their anxious hearts by bringing up past events.

    [Guys, I’m sorry but I need to write this one post…]

    ㄴ For real lol

    They were trying to shake off their anxiety by joking around.

    Though reality wouldn’t change because of it, deep down they believed Midir wouldn’t run away.

    Yes, that had to be the case.

    She would stay.

    Probably…
