Ch.54The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament (2)

As Midir was preparing for her new business venture, all Magic Towers were busy preparing for The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament.

With very little time remaining before the massive week-long festival—the first of its kind in the Magical Kingdom’s history—the competition between towers to claim first place had created a situation that truly felt like the calm before the storm.

And naturally, this pre-storm tension was being strongly expressed elsewhere.

[At this moment, someone who doesn’t even need to participate in The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament]

That would be…

The Red Tower and Blue Tower had never gotten along well, and as the day of The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament approached, they became even busier tearing each other down.

The Green Tower, caught in the middle, was unfairly attacked alongside them (mostly by the Red Tower) and felt quite wronged.

Green Tower users felt especially aggrieved since they had already fled their tower, only to be attacked from the outside (mainly by the Red Tower).

Of course, unlike the Red Tower which mainly focused on attacking everyone, most other towers maintained peaceful relationships with each other, exchanging well-wishes and encouragement. Perhaps for the first time since the forums were created, they were actually functioning properly as forums.

However, that was merely the surface appearance.

Deep down, every tower firmly believed without a doubt that their tower would be the one to win.

As time passed and the tournament drew very near,

When everyone was anticipating which tower would prove superior,

[Everyone, have you heard the news?]

At that moment, a post that had risen to the top of the Blood Tower forum was causing quite a stir.

Typically, each forum was mainly used by members of that particular tower, but since they were open to everyone, users from other towers could also view them.

And this post on the Blood Tower forum was spreading to all the other forums as well.

[Everyone, have you heard the news?]

It’s too early to be certain, but I’ve heard that the Blood Tower Master has been planning something.

The Blood Tower Master, Midir Tepes, who was the first to “perfectly” solve baldness—the greatest enemy of mages and a lifelong challenge they would have had to face—is reportedly considering a way to treat everyone who is still suffering from baldness.

If all goes well, we might be entering an era where everyone can receive baldness treatment directly.

To all mages suffering from baldness… the Blood Tower Master is working hard, so please hang in there a little longer!

Comments:

– What a heartwarming post in these times… I can feel my head getting warmer…

ㄴ Is that the smell of burning hair? lololol

ㄴㄴ Oh my, what a waste…

– Blood Tower Master… I didn’t know she was such a gracious person…

ㄴ I believe… Blood-men…

– Is this for real?

ㄴ Of course not, you think it’s real? lol

ㄴㄴ Drop dead

– Ao

ㄴ Aka

ㄴㄴ Murasaki

ㄴㄴㄴ A fusion of Red Tower and Blue Tower… this is rare…

Razak looked at the comments on his post with a satisfied expression.

Surprisingly, Razak was the one who had posted this.

‘I didn’t expect her to ask me to post something like this…’

Razak chuckled as he recalled what Midir had told him.

According to Midir, advertising indirectly like this first would be much more effective than posting it herself.

Indeed, the response to Razak’s post was extremely intense, so Midir’s prediction wasn’t wrong.

Even if Midir had posted it directly, it would have gotten a lot of attention, but she chose not to in order to avoid damaging her image.

After all, if people found out she was trying to monetize this… Although many would probably be willing to pay millions for it, the fact remained that she was using it for business, which could potentially create a negative image.

Honestly, Razak thought that if someone could eliminate baldness, selling it wouldn’t damage their image, but what could he do?

If his superior wanted to do it this way, his position required him to follow her orders.

‘As long as everyone’s happy…’

Since he hadn’t experienced baldness himself, he couldn’t fully understand why people were so excited about this, but someday he too might understand. Before that time came, it would be best to make efforts to avoid experiencing it altogether.

With that thought, Razak continued to spread his post everywhere using multiple account clone techniques.

Since this was a technique that not just anyone could use, very few people knew about it.

A few people noticed that he was using multiple accounts to promote his own post and tried to call him out, but unfortunately for them, Razak wasn’t an ordinary multi-account troll.

Considering he was operating with the support of the highest administrator, such attacks weren’t really a problem for him.

What could others do when the highest administrator denied any involvement?

Although some users were certain based on circumstantial evidence, there was no reason for others to take the side of a multi-account troll, so users eventually just let it go.

And naturally, since the posts were exposed to countless users, Razak’s posts quickly rose to the top and made many people aware of Midir’s efforts.

If Eterna saw this, she might have lamented that this wasn’t what the position was given for, but for Midir, it wasn’t even worth worrying about.

If that woman sighed at his actions, that wouldn’t be such a bad thing either.

Anyway…

Some laughed with joy, some were filled with anticipation, some were sad, and some felt wronged… TowerInside continued to roll along well today too.

The number of mages active on the forums had increased unprecedentedly.

This was because they were actively participating to get information about The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament.

Even those who normally weren’t active were posting on the forums, showing just how much interest there was in The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament.

Expectations were rising accordingly.

And as time passed…

“Today’s the day.”

The day had finally arrived.

The Greatest Magic Tower Tournament, which all Magic Towers had prepared for with all their might…

The tournament that everyone in the Magical Kingdom would watch had finally begun.

This was just the beginning.
