​

Jaeyoon Kim continued.

​

“If you are at Minho’s level, there may not be anything worth learning. I’ve already learned about the tower’s environment, so there won’t be a problem if you don’t take the training again.”

​

“That’s right.”

​

“But there are other parts that take a bit of time. I also like that I don’t have to eat things like maicho anymore… Recruiting party members may not be easy.”

​

‘Mabicho?’

​

Kim Jae-yoon mumbled something unintelligible and looked slightly unconfident.

​

“What do you mean it won’t be easy?”

​

“We can move up at any time, but it is difficult for other transferees who have not yet completed basic training to make such a decision. However, it is difficult for you to teach all the new party members.”

​

“That’s right. You may not know this, but it’s a hassle to teach others.”

​

“Actually, even if you teach, I don’t know if anyone would want to join the party. Because I’ve been receiving in-depth training, I haven’t been able to get to know other transferees… ”

​

‘That’s when I didn’t use the cards I had.’

​

The reason Kim Jae-yoon hesitates is probably because he can only search for information about the floor he is on in the guidebook.

​

If you go up to the next floor, you will be able to know the information on that floor, but before you go up, there will be unknown tests and spaces waiting for you.

​

But I am different. I, Maria to be precise, have already read the entire original and remember its contents.

​

This meant that you could know the content of the exam in advance without having to go up the floor and search the guidebook.

​

“And I have no intention of finding party members on the first floor.”

​

“Yes? then… ”

​

For a moment, Kim Jae-yoon looked like he didn’t understand.

​

But if you think about it for a moment, it was obvious.

​

Now, it seems like I’m considering having a proper party like this, but as I said last time, Kim Jae-yoon was originally the main character who monopolized the tower’s rewards with a guide alone.

​

He was not the type of person to climb the tower with party members who were lagging behind. In the original work, the only companions he had were those capable of following in his footsteps.

​

Of course, I had no intention of climbing the tower while cleaning up the poop with the new recruits on the first floor.

​

“Team members will be found on the 5th floor.”

​

There, the transferees who had already been verified as Kim Jae-yoon’s colleagues in the original work were waiting for us. Perhaps, the time to climb the tower will be accelerated, so you may be able to meet while taking the test on a lower floor.

​

Additionally, there were other obstacles to recruiting transferees on the first floor. That was my image.

​

“Are you talking about the same clan as the chick-lover…? ?”

“Ugh… Common cloaca… ”

“Could you please talk from a little distance?”

​

Of course, there has never been a person who said that directly to my face. If there really was a guy like that, I would have bent my back.

​

When I only looked at the logbook, I didn’t seem to think much of it, but that’s roughly what the expressions on the faces of the transferees who saw me summoning a chick at the training ground were like.

​

-That’s a victim mentality.

​

‘Well, it felt roughly similar.’

​

-… Now that things are like this, it would be best to conquer the 5th floor as quickly as possible.

​

Maria spoke up.

​

“Will the transferees who conquered the 5th floor try to join our clan?”

​

Kim Jae-yoon raised his eyebrows and expressed a skeptical opinion.

​

‘The position of the protagonist must make you cry.’

​

Even though there was a cheat called a guide, I didn’t have time to gain confidence because there was a very strong Irregular like me nearby. Even though it was 3 to 1, it was only yesterday that an argument broke out and we almost got robbed.

​

This was a problem that could be solved only if I climbed the tower rather than just jumping around to build up my spirit.

​

If you let them be active, they will naturally gain confidence.

​

‘In the end, to create a clan, you need bait to attract the transferees on the 5th floor.’

​

-That’s the story.

​

‘Then there’s just something good.’

​

-that’s right.

​

After finishing the discussion with Maria in an instant, I looked straight into Kim Jae-yoon’s eyes and spoke.

​

“This is a secret, so you must not talk about it anywhere.”

​

“I understand. Well, it’s not like I have any close friends… ”

​

“I can’t tell you how, but I can roughly know what the next floor exam will be about.”

​

“Yes? What is that… ”

​

“The reason why transferees want to join a clan that has conquered a higher floor is to obtain information for the test and climb the tower more safely, right?”

​

“That’s right.”

​

“As long as we have information about the next floor, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a senior transferor who reached the 5th floor first. In the end, it’s them who are disappointing.”

​

Kim Jae-yoon, who heard my story, reacted as if it was hard to believe, but when I summoned the chick and showed him that it was not a lie, he had no choice but to believe me.

​

“Brother, aren’t you a regressor or something…? ?”

​

“Is there such a thing?”

​

I snorted and denied it, but Kim Jae-yoon also found it hard to believe this time, seeing the chick with a peaceful expression.

​

Anyway, Kim Jae-yoon agreed that he could attract the 5th floor transferees to the clan with the test information from the next floor.

​

“Then let’s go and talk to the assistant masters. Stop listening to education and now climb the tower.”

​

“Yes.”

​

There was no need to waste time, so we simply had a meal at the accommodation and immediately visited the clan house where training was scheduled.

​

The clan that Jaeyoon Kim was scheduled to receive training in today was the Amaterasu clan.

​

Minato Akemi, the Amaterasu Clan assistant master, was quite embarrassed when I suddenly brought Kim Jae-yoon to visit and announced that I would stop taking in-depth training. It probably seemed to her that a typhoon was swirling around and kidnapping her student.

​

However, she also knew roughly how strong I was, and when she heard that we were planning to rise to the 5th floor as quickly as possible and form a clan, she allowed Kim Jae-yoon to graduate early.

​

“Beep! Beep!”

​

“Oh my… It’s so cute!”

​

‘Maybe it’s because I like the way a chick squeals in my arms like a large, fluffy doll.’

​

-No matter how you look at it, it seems that way, right?

​

We watched Akemi mesmerized by the cuteness of the chick for a while and then got up. This was because the chick was slowly seen moving its beak towards Akemi’s head.

​

I didn’t want to hear stories about an assassination attempt by drilling a hole in the assistant master’s head.

​

“Then we will leave. I need to meet other assistant masters.”

​

“Wait a minute.”

​

Akemi caught us getting up from our seats.

​

“Do you have anything else to say?”

​

“But since you’ve come this far, I’ll end with a brief explanation of Summoner. If you don’t use the training materials you prepared, you will have to throw them away.”

​

“Hmm… ”

​

“It won’t take long.”

​

Even though I said that, it was a bit too cold to refuse.

​

In some ways, he did something that was no different from a tutoring no-show by saying he would sign a contract with a chick, but he didn’t even show any displeasure towards me.

​

“The number of transferees with the Summoner profession is rare. However, our Amaterasu Clan has a slightly larger number of Summoners than other clans.”

​

“Is that so?”

​

“The Summoner’s summoning skill is similar to the Japanese Onmyo Magician’s use of food spirits, so in the beginning, there were quite a few people who changed jobs to Summoner. Currently, there are no new employees changing jobs, and even if there are, they are trying to stop them.”

​

I could roughly guess the reason why the Summoner was prevented from changing jobs at the clan level.

​

It was obvious that even if you had talent, the higher you climbed, the more you would have to cut it down.

​

Unless you were in a special case like me, that was a normal response.

​

“According to the data collected, what is important for a Summoner is communication with his summons… … .”

​

Akemi’s explanation that followed was roughly that the more you interact with the summons, the better they will follow the Summoner’s orders and the more efficient your skills will be. And as expected, the important abilities for a Summoner are intelligence and magical power.

​

‘The abilities can be distributed as they are now. ‘Intellect is the ticket’s ability, so leave it as is and go all-in on magic.’

​

And the average Summoner also said that no matter how insignificant the summon, there should be a sufficient period of time between contracts.

​

Or is it a burden on the soul?

​

As expected, it seemed like my soul had a lot of capacity thanks to the ticket. Otherwise, it was not explained why it was okay to sign a contract with Janey and then immediately with Shinsu.

​

The reason you can afford all those souvenirs in the first place is probably because the tickets are taking on the burden.

​

I also heard that although it is possible to achieve a feat multiple times, it is necessary for the tower to judge that the feat has been achieved even slightly better than the previous achiever.

​

“This does not cancel previously achieved feats.”

​

“That’s a fun method.”

​

-From now on, the number of feats that transferees who climb the tower later than their masters can achieve will be significantly reduced.

​

There was a high probability that it would turn out as Maria said. But I was going to be the one to conquer the 100th floor of the tower anyway, so there was no need to worry about that.

​

I received the educational materials and heavy bag delivered by Akemi and carried them.

​

“This is… ?”

​

“Last time, you said that you were the person who would conquer the tower in the future, right? He also said that in-depth education is an opportunity for you to be seen well.”

​

It certainly seemed like he had said something like that. Although they actually say that and say there is no need for education right now…

​

Akemi continued, pointing to her pocket.

​

“Contrary to plan, I decided not to take in-depth training, so it’s like losing the opportunity to make a good appearance, right? You can think of that pocket as a kind of subsidy. That’s what I’m giving you in lieu of education. This means that if you happen to meet an Amaterasu clan member while climbing the tower, please be kind to them.”

​

“You have good sense.”

​

Sigh.

​

Of course, it doesn’t seem like it cost a huge amount of money, but seeing how heavy it was, it seemed like it was a useful amount of money.

​

I wasn’t particularly interested in the other transferees, but if they showed such sincerity, it was difficult to just wipe their mouths.

​

‘If I meet an Amaterasu clan member, I should give them a ride on a bus.’

​

“Beep!”

​

Cock!

​

“Aya!”

​

Akemi, who was wasting time talking about various things, finally released her arms that were holding the chick after her head was stabbed. Fortunately, the chick didn’t seem to have seriously attacked her, and there was no hole in its head.
