The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 23

Episode 23. No objection (1)

『From now on, regular meetings of the Wizard’s Tower will resume.]

The symbol of Korea, the Wizard’s Tower.

It’s not just about using portals.

I decided to visit properly sometime.

The reason was simple.

‘There is 『Magic』, not [Skill].’

like a portal.

It was because there was magic to properly use Grandfel’s talents.

By the way, it’s a regular academic meeting.

Even if the 10-year gap is second.

Right now, I’m mainly using magic.

My class has always been a demon hunter.

‘What is a regular academic conference?’

Naturally, how the society of wizards works.

That information is bound to be lacking.

But it didn’t matter.

“I was just about to stop by, but it went well.”

Isn’t this the type of person who would hesitate to go anywhere else?

They say it’s the Tower of the Strange Mage.

Like a model on the runway.

I was able to intuit that I could walk around confidently.

It’s a regular meeting.

I don’t know what I’ll get there, but I’m sure there’s nothing to lose.

『His innate magical talent was such that he could imitate most magic just by looking at it.』

Earl Ascura.

4th place Jesse Heinness.

Looking at the two of them, now I realized my own insufficiency.

It was that I was not in a position to cover cold rice with hot rice.

“I must prepare.”

from now on

It would mean that it wouldn’t be strange when the regular conference started.

A personality that can’t live without formalities and formalities.

To me, being late was an unacceptable act.

I immediately started preparing to go to the Magic Tower.

Well, let’s say it’s preparation…

Dalgrak-

“It’s not a good habit to procrastinate.”

Is there anything else besides washing the dishes?

*

Wizard’s Tower.

Skilled wizard Klee wore a robe.

It was to hide his excited expression.

‘My heart is pounding…!’

After the Wizard’s Tower was summoned to the world of adventurers.

Focus on figuring out the cause.

Thanks to that, it was a mage tower that didn’t roll properly.

In the meantime, the regular academic conference resumed.

Because it was the decision of the top lord and other superiors, she was only a skilled mage and couldn’t figure out why.

‘Did you find out something? It is expected.’

But she is also a mage of the Mage Tower.

Because the pure quest for magic is the top priority.

There was no choice but to wait for the regular conference.

The role Klee was assigned today was an adventurer, more precisely, a guide for invited adventurers.

It wasn’t particularly difficult.

‘Because everyone knows enough to know.’

It was a regular meeting of the Magic Tower.

It was a society that could announce the results of a minimum-skilled mage and even a thoroughly verified study.

Of course, no one was invited.

“…but the Mage Tower is crowded today.”

On top of the stairway that embroidered the air.

Klee looked at the crowd in front of the portal.

Most of them were adventurers.

I hate being noisy… but

it was inevitable.

“Well, the Yusra Islands have been discovered.”

Yusra Islands.

The name used to appear several times in old magic books.

It was a very wealthy kingdom in the past or something.

“I wish I could bring some good magic tools.”

Legendary Treasure Island.

But isn’t it Cle, the mage of the Mage Tower?

It was only natural that her interest in magic tools rather than gold and silver treasures.

Anyway, it was time for the regular conference to begin.

“There is nothing too big to do.”

It’s all thanks to hallucination magic, right?

Claire shrugged lightly.

Players couldn’t see her like that.

As I said, it was thanks to the hallucination magic that was applied to the mage tower on the day of the regular conference.

Regular society of the Magic Tower.

As well as its reputation, the published results are also excellent.

Confidentiality about it is essential.

It was for this reason that only those who were invited could attend the conference.

‘Because without an invitation, no one, let alone me, would easily notice and climb these stairs.’

Of course, there were special rules for that.

If there is someone who sees through this hallucination magic.

A provision that regular meetings can be attended without an invitation.

But, isn’t that a mana rule?

‘It’s the tower lord’s hallucination magic!’

It didn’t make sense that someone who reached that level wouldn’t be invited to the conference.

Claire’s shoulders grew stronger.

It feels like I just became a great wizard…

“You won’t even hear my voice.”

Let’s take this opportunity to talk a little bit to ourselves.

A lonely mage tower.

Sometimes it felt like there was a spider web in my mouth.

Again –

that was then.

“…?”

sound of heels.

It was the sound of going up the stairs.

Klee’s head tilted as he wore the robe.

‘…would all the invited adventurers attend?’

Including Jesse Heinness.

The invited adventurers were guided to the place where the conference was held.

Above all, it must have been that Cle himself was in charge of the guidance.

Then who the hell is that guy?

‘…I might be able to tell by looking at his face.’

You may not be an adventurer.

Claire pulled back her robe and looked at the man.

Silver hair.

black eyed.

And the long coat…?

No, just by looking at her outfit, it was clear that she was an adventurer.

Claire, who had been relaxed, began to panic.

‘Is there some kind of mistake?!’

Did I mischeck the list of invitees?!

Clee took out a piece of parchment from under his robe and checked it.

“…Aren’t there any new adventurers added?!”

Then who the hell is that…?

The man said to Claire.

“I want to observe the conference.”

“Can you… show me the invitation?”

“Sorry, but I don’t have that.”

“…yeah yeah?!”

Wait a minute, it didn’t make sense.

Climbing the stairs and talking to me without an invitation?

Because that was no different from saying that he had seen through hallucination magic!

Claire shook her head inwardly.

‘No matter how much it is, I couldn’t have accurately grasped that it was hallucination magic.’

Yes, what the tower lord chanted…

“It’s a better hallucination magic than that.”

“…hehehehehehe?!”

Claire was shocked again.

What a wonderful hallucination magic.

Isn’t this man evaluating the tower lord’s hallucination magic?

“It truly deserves praise.”

Other tower lords deserve to be praised…?

‘No kidding, right?’

Claire looked at the man who had come close to her.

A more serious expressionless expression.

A gaze that looks down on oneself and everything.

I was sure there.

that this isn’t a joke.

‘Who is this among the adventurers?’

Why is this person just now…?

An unexpected development.

Embarrassed, Clee’s eyes turned around.

But the work had to be done.

Claire barely spoke.

“…I will guide you to the place according to the rules.”

.

.

.

Is this really a regular meeting of the Magic Tower?

It’s not a joke from the entrance process…!

I admired it as I climbed the stairs.

‘The hallucinatory magic. But it’s not just a hallucination.’

Again –

as you can see.

Because I was able to climb the stairs myself.

What a level of “magic” this is.

If it had not been for the setting of Grandfel, a rare talent.

I would never have realized

You can tell just by looking at the words that come out of my mouth.

“It truly deserves praise.”

It was the most praise among rave reviews.

Comparing it to Jesse’s [Punishment] would be a pity for this staircase.

But it has always been a matter of magic.

I roughly calculated it in my mind.

‘When my magic power reaches 1000…’

I wonder if I can speak similarly though.

the moment you see it.

expression of exploratory interference.

Because I had accurately grasped the structure of this hallucination magic.

Of course, the absurd premise of one thousand magical powers was added.

‘You mean you have to be level 1000?’

But there was no discouragement.

Because the regular conference had just begun.

I followed Rob, who had been flinching from earlier.

‘Maybe I can make up for my weakness at the conference.’

with such expectations

*

Crystal Hall.

It was the space inside the mage tower where regular conferences were held.

Its vast size made it hard to believe that it was inside the Mage Tower.

floor wall ceiling.

even the auditorium.

This space, where everything was made of crystal, seemed to further double the sense of mystery of magic.

But that’s for a day or two.

“…I am bored.”

Jessie Heinness complained in a low voice.

Then, her cone-shaped hat fluttered.

– Disciple. At least don’t doze off at the conference.

“…I’ll try. Uh haaam—”

-At least until Marcelo’s turn, we have to endure!

The pointed hat teacher’s nagging.

It takes a day or two for this to happen, even if it’s scary.

Jesse replied in a sleepy voice.

“To be honest, I don’t even know.”

Even if it was magic, it was just a skill.

A skill that can be activated simply by acquiring, consuming mana, and shouting.

However, it is search or interference.

Why is it so hard to explain?

“If it wasn’t for the quest, I would have missed it.”

Although Jesse was called the wizard of wizards among players.

Even for her, the level of the Magic Tower was too high to keep up with.

just don’t intervene.

The level of the magic tower and the wizards of that magic tower was to the point where it could be called the strongest in Arcana.

Jesse stretched to the fullest.

“To Marcelo. Did you say that?”

Marcelo.

I knew very well who it was.

It was because she was Jessie, who often visited the Mage Tower while carrying out the wizard’s class quests.

Excluding tower owners and elders.

It was because he was Marcelo, the chief mage called the powerhouse of the Mage Tower.

“The real genius is not me, but that person over there.”

genius.

One of the many titles given to Jesse Heinness.

But Jesse didn’t like the nickname.

What does it mean to be a genius if you can’t properly understand a presentation at a conference?

Although I open up all kinds of skill books and magic books every day.

Acquiring unfamiliar knowledge was not easy.

-The concept is different. One day you’ll understand

The moment when the conical hat seemed to comfort.

Marcelo’s long-awaited announcement finally began.

long legs.

dry face.

Thanks to that, the prominent cheekbones.

Crystal Hall.

The man in the middle.

Marcelo began to share his research achievements.

“The magic tower was summoned to the world of adventurers for some reason. In fact, it’s not just the Magic Tower. This will be just the beginning. Worldview interference is happening even at this moment.”

Worldview interference.

The Magic Tower called the new update that way.

Jesse’s eyes sparkled as he listened silently.

“It will take a lot of time and focus to find out why. However, the Mage Tower will not give up. I hope today’s announcement will be the signal for that.”

The title of the presentation is Convergence.

The content was also shocking to match the grandiose title.

“science. It is a new concept that exists in the world of adventurers. I saw potential in that science. The possibility of further developing magic.”

I never thought I’d mention science.

Jesse was startled.

Isn’t magic and science incompatible?

It was because I had such a prejudice without even knowing it.

In that sense, Marcelo was sure to be a genius right from the start.

He was also an excellent presenter.

science.

After the concept came out, Jesse and other players fell in love with the presentation.

“However, the approach to that convergence will have to be cautious. It’s easy to harmonize two completely different concepts, and you don’t know what variables will bring, apart from difficulties.”

Marcelo says so.

manifested magic.

A ball of flame bloomed from his palm.

could notice

That it is an advanced magic that combines magic and science.

“Of course, I will have to seek cooperation from the adventurers in the process.”

At the sound, the players murmured.

“…What is that? Doesn’t that mean you’re giving a quest?”

“Wow, it is worthwhile to endure being bored. really!”

“How precious are quests these days!”

I don’t care about the little fuss.

Marcelo continued.

“Then I will ask you one last question.”

Static—

who dares to question?

Wizards of the Mage Tower and players.

There were no questions to ask Marcelo.

That’s magic and science.

Because it’s natural that you don’t have enough understanding of these two completely different concepts…

Chuck-

“?”

…what?

Jesse doubted his eyes.

Someone raised their hand.

Then he said.

“May I raise a question?”

The dignity that oozes out of that tone.

It was a voice Jesse would never forget.

“Very strange magic…! No, Lee Ho-yeol!”

Yes, it was Ho-yeol that raised the question.

Hoyeol and Marcelo’s gaze collided in the air.

Marcelo nodded and Hoyeol asked.

“I think there is an afterthought in your search process. What do you think, Chief Mage Marcelo?”

“…!!!”

…isn’t this the kind of questioning?

That is also the real world chief mage of the Mage Tower.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

But why?

Marcelo’s reaction was unusual.
