Chapter 484. Aim! Top of the tower (2)
“In this case, the owner of the tower and each elder will recommend suitable talent. Or, the elder himself may step in. Well that will happen.”
“Hmm… Recommended. It’s a word that somehow doesn’t sound very clean.”
Helmin simply did not respond to my analogy.
If you look at it as a recommendation, it is a means to produce talent in your own line.
I can roughly guess which side will come out.
“When I look at it, Helmin, you’re stepping down can only be felt as a handshake, right?”
At least Helmin would have no choice but to recommend his disciple at this rate.
But there’s no way I’ll become a kid who’s only in class 6.
Above all, no one will understand.
“Actually, that’s why I was going to ask Arell-nim… and Dia-san for a doctor sooner or later.”
Saying Helmin, he glanced back at Dia.
“What are you talking about?”
“In other words, I’m thinking of recommending Diazane instead of the disciple.”
Helmin brought up the original business without any further hesitation.
Dia frowned slightly.
“…Me?”
“Are you recommending Dia?”
Helmin nodded.
“She is well qualified. Class 7… Master. That must be it, right?”
“At that age, that much. no, more than that. If it’s just skill, there’s no reason to oppose it. No, on the contrary, there will be no difficulty.”
“I…
It seemed that Dia was about to refuse without a moment’s thought.
” for a moment.”
It is still too early to draw conclusions.
impatient impatient!
I sneaked in and stopped Dia.
“Before that, let’s just point out one thing.
Why do you want to recommend Dia?”
“That’s a skill…
” “Don’t be ridiculous. Isn’t that what you mean?”
Well, it is true that her skills are high.
Perhaps, compared to her, the rest of the talented people who will be promoted are no more than the old ladies and uncles.
Certainly, Helmin’s excuse to pursue more skilled and younger talent was perfect.
“What is there?”
“Actually, there is no guarantee that she will be.”
“< ? stone?” When he suddenly said that, Dia's expression hardened a little. I don't like it very much, but it wouldn't be very pleasant to hear it anyway. “There is a talented person who has recently stood out in the Mage Tower. I thought he might be influential... Judging from Helmin's slurred speech, he seems to be not very happy with the unknown talent. “Are there any problems?” “Rather than a problem… there is something I feel a little uncomfortable about.” "hmm?" “Actually, he's growing too fast. His realm is also a 7th class master. But how long do you think it took'?” " how much?" "3 years." I can't help but admire it somewhat. 3 years is definitely fast. It's not that fast. That's about a new record. If there is such a thing as the Guinness Book of Records here, it will be recorded. And I was sure. “...You doubt that speed.” "yes. No matter how... Even if you assume you're a genius, you can't reach that level so quickly.” “???? Huh.” On that point I have nothing to say. “There… I don’t feel very good. Above all, the person who recommends him is also a person with a bad reputation... “I understand what he means.” I can imagine the meaning that the rumor is not very good. I don't even want to hear it I don't have the hobby of listening to every scandal. "That's why I'd rather have someone who is competent and trustworthy." Saying that, he glanced at me. Perhaps Helmin secretly wanted me to persuade Dia. Certainly, if I hadn't stopped it just a moment ago, Dia would have rejected it out of the blue. “Wait, Dia. wait outside I have something to tell you apart from him.” "yes." Dia meekly withdrew outside. I'm sorry, but I think we'll have to talk privately between the two men after this. “Arell?” “You won’t hear it outside. I don't even have the personality to steal. So let's be honest.” “You didn’t mean to keep it a secret from me, did you?” Actually, I noticed one more thing. my eyes are sharp The only thing I can't see through is my daughter's inner thoughts. “Are you actually stepping down because of an internal injury?” It is true that the battle with the leader of the Dark Church was the trigger for Helmin's resignation. But not because of his change of heart. “...Yes, actually, after being attacked by her, mana management got in the way.” Among those who watched the battle at the time, it is said that it was just beaten, but in reality, it seems that the cult leader used his demonic energy to interfere with his circle. It's definitely a means to keep magicians in check. “All of her demonic energy has been deciphered... but do you still have a sense of incongruity? 1 n | ? "Hmm... Is it difficult to use magic like before?" From what I can see, it's probably a similar kind of internal injury to our Hogu dragon. That said… “However, it seems that healing is possible.” While I was figuring out a way, Helmin said it was possible to recover. Certainly, I don't think there's any chance of healing. Just… “It will take a while?” “…it takes. That may take decades.” "indeed. That's why I have no choice but to retreat.” His resignation is to heal his internal wounds and regain his original skills. For that reason, the current position of the owner of the Mage Tower is rather a hindrance to him. "but. It's a natural choice.” He prioritizes recovery as a mage over the position of tower owner. I don't condemn that choice otherwise. “And if I can do it… I might reach a higher level.” “I am also vaguely guessing.” It does not collapse simply because it collapses once. Rather, if he succeeds in rising again, he will achieve a higher realm. That's why I hesitated to get involved in his healing. If he takes the time to study and practice to heal his inner wounds, he can reach a higher level. Will that possibility be blocked because of my convenience? It's a pretty troubling problem. However, if he has already made up his mind and sees the possibility himself, then the story is already over. “Okay, don’t expect it to rise again on its own.” “I wish it was like that.” To my moderate cheering, he just responded lightly. Guman with an incredibly laid-back attitude. As you can see, I don't think there's anything I can do to interfere and sleep. “In addition, the work of the Mage Tower owner is starting to become a headache hahahaha. I take this opportunity to lighten my burden and focus on training.” "So you're going to hand over that troublesome piece of baggage to our land wizard?" “It is not coercion. And as I said, all I can do is write a letter of recommendation.” It's not a joke, but Helmin can't be sure even if Dia really applies. It seems he's calculating. “…is that enough?” “If you have a chance to see it in person later, I think that Arell-sama will recognize his condition.” “Um… Well, whatever that is. So, what you want to ask of me is to persuade Dia, right?” "please." “?...why?” Only at this time, apart from my acquaintance with him, I had no choice but to ask him coldly. “Helmin, what are you thinking?” He was silent and I stared at him silently. If you don't listen to it, I have no permission or intention to do anything. "actually?????? As I resolutely waited, Helmin slowly began to tell me what was inside. * * * I finished the rest of the story and decided that there was no more business, so I left the office of the Master of the Magic Tower. When I open the door and come out, Dia is waiting quietly. I'm really not moving. “Arell? Are you done?” "yes. Well, I don't think there's anything more to say right now. Let's go back.” "yes." As it is, we teleported to the territory and returned. "...then I have work left, so I'll go first." “Ah Dia! wait for a sec!" I grabbed Dia as she tried to quietly leave. She obediently stops her steps and turns around. “Do you still have business? Or personal?” "It's not like that... Why are you disappointed there?" "no." Even if there is no dramatic change in expression, you can tell by looking at the slight trembling of the pupils. That's it. The business that I summoned Dia is related to the recommendation that the Mage Tower Master conveyed earlier. "I've been recommending it for a long time. Are you really not thinking?” “...not very reluctant. Above all, there is no reason to accept it.” “Indeed, it is.” Because Dia doesn't like the Mage Tower very much. Even though Helmin is the kind of person who can talk a little compared to previous Mage Tower lords, it is frustrating to see the Mage Tower running even if he is like that. “Above all, if I take on a position of that level, the time in the manor will be reduced.” "ah? There is that too.” I know that, so I didn't force it. Well, more than anything, it's a bit like nurturing talented people and giving them to others. Still, if you want to do it, I'll push you. Uhm~ What are you talking about? Certainly, when she becomes the owner of the Magic Tower, her time here will be reduced. If you want to monopolize her talent, you have to stop it, but you can't. That's not right. It goes against my aesthetics. It is also wrong to force it. First of all, I have a request, so I have to tell you what I have to say, right? "First of all, I'll tell you why Helmin recommended it." “Why… is that?” “No matter how immature your student is, you can’t easily recommend someone else, right? Aren’t you curious as to why?” "....okay." Dia also seemed to understand and willingly listened to my story. “For now, I will tell you the reason. Just go there, please.” "....yes." I pretended to clear my throat lightly and explained the reason I had heard from him. “Somehow, Helmin seems to want to shake the existing Mage Tower system.” Dia shows a puzzled reaction. I feel like asking what does that have to do with me? “Listen first. Dia, you belong to this side and are influenced by the outside. Conversely, the elders of the Mage Tower do not like being influenced by the outside.” “…I don’t know if that’s the case.” “So, Helmin seems to want Diane, who is in fact an outsider, to take the position and change the current overly closed atmosphere.” He said it was a 'one move for the Mage Tower reform'. After achieving a plan he hadn't been able to achieve, he assumed it was possible for her. U ≫ ? ????? Dia kept her mouth shut. You must be a bit offended by the fact that you said that the reason you paid attention to yourself was the influence of your background rather than your skills. “The magic tower... Are you trying to change the policy?” “Because it is so outdated. He probably regrets it a little too.” He said he had no face with himself for not changing in the current generation, but there was no reason to say that, so he left it for now. "It's not possible to do it alone, but it seems to be calculating that it will be easier if you are in a state where you can be influenced by the outside world." After all, it's the thought that I'll see my virtue. “What do you think, Mr. Arell?” “At least not on my side.” If I do well, I will be able to use the Mage Tower's greetings more freely. There is an advantage to this too.
