372. Conclusion
“Loser, please take off your mask and reveal your identity!”
Lee Ji-ah, dressed as a moderator, grabbed the microphone and shouted energetically.
sudden!
“This person’s true identity is Via Citrine! Thanks for your efforts!”
“Did you participate too?”
“I want to become a master…”
“You have a big dream.”
The Golden Magic Tower’s 1st Masked Master King Tournament that will never happen again.
phut! Paang♡
Sharang~ Sharalang!
At first glance, it looks like a festival or fun party because the various stuffed animal masks worn by the participants and hallucination hallucination magic that are activated everywhere change the skill effect into heart or star-shaped firecrackers and explode them.
“die! Everyone dies except me!”
“Let me master it too!”
In reality, it was a scuffle between wizards who had their eyes wide open for the master position.
That would also be the case because it was the worst master candidate competition ever, with 1 to 100 in terms of the competition rate, in which 300 people flocked to the spot to select only 3 people.
‘Please submit the documents for participation application here.’
‘The Master King Tournament fee is 1 million gold.’
Even so, 300 people were filtered out because they received 1 million gold as a participation fee.
I couldn’t even guess how many participants would have increased if I had gotten cheaper than that or had not paid the participation fee at all.
‘It’s salty. Even if I just sit still, the money rolls in.’
Regardless of whether the contestants died or not, Kang Seung-hyeon, who was still serving as the master of the Golden Mage Tower, smiled with satisfaction as he watched the entry fees piling up in the warehouse.
“A master who brings money to the Mage Tower until the moment he steps down from the master seat… Is there anyone else like me?”
“Normally not. In many ways…”
Kim Ho-jung, who was sitting next to him, muttered with a shy smile.
Of course, at first, when Kang Seung-hyun said he would receive 1 million gold for the participation fee, there was no resistance.
‘I could become a master if I pay 1 million gold, but why don’t you do this?’
‘A person without 1 million gold is the golden mage tower master?’
I encouraged it, and the backlash completely disappeared.
In the first place, to aim for the Golden Mage Tower master position, you must have a certain amount of financial power.
“Excuse me. Please treat me…”
“Quiet…”
The dropouts who started to come out one by one came with their injured bodies.
“yes. Where can I see you?”
“I hurt my left shoulder earlier…”
“I’ll treat you right away. Please take off your clothes.”
Thanks to that, Kang Seung-hyun was earning not only the participation fee but also points.
‘Good. I still wanted to test the [origin].’
Hundreds of guinea pigs came in front of me like this, so I wonder if there is any need to refuse.
[Observation eye]
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the patient’s shoulder and stretched out his hand.
Even at a glance, the coolly smashed shoulder blade catches the eye.
‘The status window description is basically a guy who comes out roughly, so the person in question has to learn how to use it while using it.’
[origin].
A skill that returns objects to their basic form when used very simply.
In fact, [Miracle of Teratoma] is much better in terms of treatment ability and range, but the advantage of [Origin] is that the recovery speed is very fast.
For example, if the person in front of you is hit with an instant-death attack that crushes their head, you can save them if you use [Origin] right away, but you cannot save them with [Teratoma’s Miracle].
‘The basic form of a broken shoulder is an unbroken shoulder.’
[Origin]
When I activated [Origin] while repeating the shape of the intact shoulder in my head, the broken shoulder returned to before it was broken as if rewinding a video.
Ssssss.
The broken bone fragments found their place, the crushed flesh clung to them, and in an instant, they were restored to their original state.
“Surely fast! It cannot be compared to other skills I have used so far!”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was sitting next to her, shouted with her eyes shining.
“It’s almost like a heel.”
“Isn’t this just a heel?”
From Kim Ho-jeong’s point of view, [Origin] and Heal didn’t seem much different, but [Origin] isn’t strictly a cure, it’s just a reversal.
“Turn it off!”
“Without that sound.”
“No.”
So while the wound heals, the pain continues.
‘Are you using a heel right now, Seunghyun Kang?’
‘What’s the matter? You say you don’t know how to use heels, but you use them well…’
Do the wizards who actually witnessed Kang Seung-hyun’s [Origin] use heels at first? But
“Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Whoops!”
‘It’s not a heel.’
‘It’s not a heel.’
When I saw the patients screaming, I gave up my thoughts within a second.
If it’s a real heel, the patients won’t be sick.
“Thank you for treating me… but don’t you recover from fatigue?”
“That’s because I can’t use heels. If you want to recover from your blood, drink a potion and lie down in bed.”
Above all, [Origin] simply returns its shape, so it has no effect of relieving pain or relieving fatigue like a heal.
“This is why I’m a wild healer…”
“Is recovery self-recovery?”
In the end, the patients grumbled and headed to the Mage Tower infirmary.
“That’s not an all-purpose skill…but it’s a really great skill, right?”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was watching from the side, opened her mouth while snooping in Kang Seung-hyun’s direction.
“I think it’s better than the Miracle of Teletubbies.”
“It must be [Miracle of Teratoma]. And it’s okay to say that it’s a better skill.”
Aside from all of this, the decisive drawback of [Origin] is that the moment an object degenerates, the reference point that determines the basic shape is fixed.
If your arm is twisted or crushed, it can be undone, but if it is amputated or completely rotted, it cannot be undone.
“Simua Rise’s ability to transform living things into chunks of meat is representative. Even if I had the [origin] at that time, it wouldn’t have worked.”
“Aha…”
“Both are fraudulent skills, but they have their pros and cons, so I think I can mix and match them in the right place.”
“Even if I gave it to you, I wouldn’t use it. My head hurts.”
“Oh, and [origin] is not a perfect healing skill, so there is an advantage.”
[Miracle of Terratoma] and healing skills only work on living things and not on inanimate objects, but [Origin] works on both living and non-living things.
“advantage?”
“That means you can use it to fix things.”
“Kang Seung-hyun… Please fix my robe with my staff.”
Just in time, a wizard approached holding a tattered robe and a staff cut in half.
“I will receive the treatment fee in the form of an amulet gem fragment.”
“…Isn’t that the repair fee?”
“I’m a healer, so it’s the treatment fee.”
“Why is it more expensive than treating people?”
As the wizard held out the gem fragment, Kang Seung-hyeon used [Origin] to restore the broken staff and robe.
“wow! Then, sir, can you repair weapons other than people?”
“Well, strictly speaking, it’s just going back to before it broke.”
Kang Seung-hyun, who has now even won the title of repairman in the wild.
“And even if something burns or melts, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed.”
“still! Awesome!”
There are many jobs that can repair items, but Kang Seung-hyun is probably the only one that can repair people and weapons at the same time.
“A master candidate! It’s decided!”
While having a conversation with Kim Ho-jung, the final three people were decided.
“Hee hee hee hee hee…”
“Hee hee hee hee…”
“….”
Tal the brown puppy shaking his legs.
A rat mask with its head bowed while breathing heavily.
And the mask of an angora rabbit looking around while standing calmly.
All the wizards had fallen, and these three were the only ones left.
“What kind of people are they?”
“It’s not an ordinary skill to survive after defeating so many people…”
“Take off the mask! Show your face!”
Wizards from the stands shouted to the stage.
Originally, it is customary to reveal the face after the final confrontation, but no matter how much it is, you can’t pick someone who doesn’t even know the face when choosing a master.
“From now on, we will reveal the identity of the master candidate before voting!”
Along with Lee Ji-ah’s cry, the master candidates began taking off their masks in turn.
The first thing to take off the mask was the brown puppy mask.
“Amazing! One of the master candidates was Matiana, who is acting as the head of the Hind Village Magic Association branch!”
A familiar woman with lime-colored hair.
One of the final three was Mattiana Buce, one of Kang Seung-hyun’s followers.
“How did that happen? i look forward to. Hind village mead is delicious.”
As she is also a member of the Golden Magic Tower, she participated in the master vote and Kang Seung-hyun’s group’s recommendation to select a master.
‘How did I come up here?’
The problem is that even though Matiana is an investigator of the Magic Association, she is not at the level of being chosen to be one of the 3 out of 300 Mage Wizards.
It would have been impossible to come up to this point if it was based on one’s original skills, but
‘Matiana-sama! Go for it! Become a Mage Tower Master and support us!’
In fact, Lee Ji-ah was able to survive until the end because Kang Seung-hyun, pretending to be the host, used [Ho: Ruth’s Hand] to secretly support and help Matiana.
‘Can I give the Master’s seat to anyone?’
As you may know by this point, Kang Seung-hyeon was plotting to hand over the Mage Tower master position to an acquaintance of his.
Even without the knowledge of the parties.
‘That’s how it’ll be easy to use in the future.’
I don’t know the identities of the other two candidates, but most people know that Matiana is an acquaintance of Kang Seung-hyun, so it won’t be difficult to win the vote.
“Then, the second candidate is… Oh my God!”
Subsequently, the wizard wearing a rat mask revealed his identity.
“It’s Doradell’s great-grandson Idesh!”
Surprisingly, one of the final three master candidates was Idesh, one of the members of Lofi Armour.
“what? Lofiarmus is a master candidate?”
“Do you have a conscience or not?”
“Resign, Tsar!”
Naturally, the wizards were very angry.
It was because the great-grandson of Doradel, the former master of ‘that’ family who disturbed the Golden Mage Tower, brazenly appeared as a master candidate.
‘I’m grateful. There’s one less competitor like this.’
Of course, Seunghyun Kang was rather happy.
“I’m really sorry. I also know that it is a sin for a person who inherits the blood of Lofiarmus to stand here…”
Ideshi calmly continued to speak while receiving criticism from all sides.
“I was thinking of leaving the Golden Tower in the first place, but Kang Seung-hyun said this.”
“huh?”
“If you want to atone for the crimes committed by your family, do not run away and take responsibility.”
‘When did I say that?’
Seunghyun Kang looked at Ideshi with a puzzled face.
‘I remember saying that I would accept it if I gave up the family, with the intention of enslaving the Lophemus.’
Either that or not, Idesh calmly continued to speak.
“Now that all of my superiors have resigned, I am the number 1 in the Golden Magic Tower based solely on my pure skills. If I don’t become a Master, it will take a long time for the Golden Mage Tower to stabilize.”
Currently, the Golden Mage Tower is in a precarious state as many advanced mages have escaped, so it will be dangerous if someone who is even slightly stronger does not take charge of the Mage Tower.
Even if you try to hide it, it will soon spread widely that the Golden Mage Tower is in danger.
“I sincerely thank Kang Seung-hyun for reminding me that if I run away under the excuse of atonement because I am afraid of criticism even though I have the power to take charge of the Magic Tower, that is the real mistake.”
Ideshi bowed his head respectfully toward Kang Seung-hyeon in the audience.
“Of course, the choice is yours. Even if I abandoned my family, my lineage belongs to Lofiarmus. However, even if I don’t become a master, as a member of the Golden Mage Tower, I will continue to do my best for the Mage Tower.”
After speaking, Idesh gave a light bow to the audience and stepped back.
“Yes, Kang Seung-Hyun said that…. Even if you are from Lophemus, if you abandon your family, you will be accepted again.”
“If you give up your family to join the Magic Tower, you are the real one.”
“Right now, the Golden Mage Tower is in a crisis situation as talented wizards have disappeared. If it’s for the real Mage Tower, it’s better to accept criticism and stay and work rather than run away using the family’s sins as an excuse.”
“Matiana is also quite strong, but that’s how it is for a Magic Association investigator to sit in the Master’s seat…”
“I see Kang Seung-Hyun…. I don’t know if he’s been chosen as the next Master from the beginning.”
At first, the wizards who jeered at them gradually began to understand Idesh’s words and nodded one by one.
“…”
The purpose was to have Matiana sit in the master seat and suck up the golden tower, but somehow they ended up choosing a true master for the golden tower.
‘No, depending on who the third guy is, the votes are divided, so there may be odds.’
Lastly, the angora rabbit mask, which had been silent for a while, revealed its identity.
“Then, the last candidate is… Huh? hey! Why are you out there?”
“You mean me?”
When Lee Ji-ah, who was hosting the event, threw down the microphone, a man with white hair snatched it up.
“My name is Alec. A detective!”
I thought I couldn’t see it for a while, but it seems that Alec also participated in the selection for the masked master king.
He even fought with his bare fists among the wizards because he was afraid that he would be found out if he used black magic.
“If I win like this, will the first ever blood mage become a general mage tower master?”
“Who will choose a blood mage!”
“This has practically been concluded…”
So Matiana withdrew.
Alec did not give up and had a final battle with Idesh, but
“This time, the Mage Tower Master is Idesh-sama!”
“shit!”
The winner was, of course, Idesh.
There were people who looked at it as a lophemus, but it was still better than a blood mage.
“Thank you, Seunghyun Kang. Thanks to that, the Golden Mage Tower was able to stand right away.”
“You are quick-witted. From the beginning, I was thinking of pushing Ideshi-sama as a master for the future of the Mage Tower.”
damn plan anyway.
Seunghyun Kang shamelessly decided to leave.
‘It’s a pity that Matiana didn’t work out, but Ideshi also has grace from me.
At this point, the plan wasn’t quite a failure.
Rather, it is a situation where the people of the Mage Tower are praised as a true sage for choosing wise talent for the future of the Mage Tower.
‘Wow, he really doesn’t have a conscience? Just like yesterday, Matiana-sama asked me to make her Master.’
Lee Ji-ah, the only one who knew the truth, only stuck out her tongue.
“Ah, I’ve sorted it out to some extent, but if you look through the records and find that my name remains on the side of the temporary master, could you please sort it out?”
“I’m sorry, but if there are circumstances, I have to do it.”
With this, no worries about the future.
I can safely leave the Golden Mage Tower.
“With this, you will never be able to find it even if you search to see who has earned the [Master of the Mage Tower] achievement.”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled with a satisfied face.
“Ah, by the way, will that friend Choi Yi-han be okay? What if you were beaten up by dimension movers who just arrived and told you how to earn achievements?”
“well?”
Kang Seung-hyeon, who had been listening to Kim Ho-jung’s fuss next to him, sneered as if he was full of energy and said,
“I think we should be concerned about the children who visited.”
-At that time, the northern Vostok Mountains.
Originally, it was a pure white snowy field with nothing but snow and ice, but
now
there
were a lot of people scattered around.
They were also dimension movers, not humans who were widespread in the Azul continent.
“I thought I had some skills because I jumped confidently. Garbage garbage garbage! Fuck you kids!”
“Keep!”
And a man plopped down on top of them.
“Damn it! As long as a person lives, it is possible not to go to a funeral. That’s why you throw away trash at someone else’s house? Kang Seung-hyun, are you a human?”
He was Choi Yi-han, who is currently misunderstood as the first to achieve [The Ruler of the Magic Tower].
