Chapter 663: Companionship (2)

“I was a late-comer in magic…”

The GM’s story began with the first sentence…

“Twenty years old… In fact, entering the Magic Tower at that late age was very unusual in itself… It goes without saying, but I had to adapt. It was very difficult…”

Well, that’s right…

That’s because the elites who entered the Magic Tower from a young age like Raven hate latecomers…

Of course, what they hate more than latecomers are non-professional magicians like Dwalki…

Anyway, that’s not what’s important… ···

‘It was a late cut…?’

Doesn’t it make sense to just think about cancer?

Is he yelling at me now?

That’s certainly true. When I met him in the past, he said he was a ‘level 6’ wizard in his first year…

[I’m just lucky that my level is high, but I can’t use magic properly yet, so I live on edge every day…]

Since you added this, I assumed that the problem was caused by possessing the wizard’s body…

But that wasn’t the case?

‘Let’s hear it first…’

If true, it was a truly unique case…

I learned it later while interacting with players in Ghostbusters, and most of the children who were raised as wizards when they crossed the Abyss Gate were learning magic. Because he started as…

The same goes for our clan’s Versil Gowland…

‘He was also training magic at the Magic Tower long before he turned 20…’

Then how did the GM decide to become a wizard? If he doesn’t start as a mage,

he’s just a wizard. It would have been much easier to grow up by becoming an explorer and drinking essence…

“But is there any other reason why you learned magic at that age?”

When asked directly, a completely unexpected answer came back.

“Actually, I had no intention of becoming a wizard. I just wanted to become an explorer.”

“Huh…?”

“Of course, clashing with monsters in a dangerous labyrinth doesn’t suit me, so being a wizard would have been a good fit… But even the Baron says this, so it’s not a common case, is it? Trying to learn magic after the age of 20…” ”

… That’s right…”

“I originally wanted to learn a bow… I thought I could handle a crossbow well…” He said his

desired profession was an archer… ·

I am even more curious ·

How did a child who aimed to be an archer become a monk ·

“I was penniless and had to earn money to buy even a crossbow. As soon as I became an adult, I went out to the streets and there was nothing I didn’t try · Once, I got a job at a blacksmith shop. There was a time…”

Surprisingly, in those days when I was pounding iron, the GM’s wizard route was opened…

As fate would have it, I met the master of the first school…

“The master saw the toy I made in my spare time and became interested. He said he wanted to talk to me, so he called me aside and we talked for hours…”

The Master repeatedly expressed his admiration for

the precision and imagination of GM’s toy design drawings.

·’

Should I call it a kind of modern cheat?

Sometimes, you see it in novels,

where every time a craftsman who falls into another world creates something, the people around him are extremely impressed.

“So that’s how you were able to learn magic?”

“Yes, the Myreta School was a school that specialized in wind attribute magic, but the teacher, who was a master at the time, was also interested in magical engineering magic circles, etc., so I was lucky enough to get noticed…” “…

There was a story like that. ·”

Soon after nodding his head and maintaining a listening attitude, the GM also resumed the story ·

“I’m not bragging, but magic is a perfect fit for me · Under the teacher’s teachings, my skills really improved at an incredibly fast rate · Thanks to this, I gained a lot of hate knowingly or unknowingly…”

GM’s growth rate was explosive to an unprecedented

degree even within the Magic Tower… “Well, if you look at the long history of the Magic Tower, you can see that he started at the age of 20 and was promoted to level 6 in just one year. Because it didn’t exist…”

Huh… Did you really get to level 6 in just one year?

No, wait a minute, then what did you mean by ‘half-wizard who can’t use magic’?

Coincidentally, the answer to that question soon came out of the GM’s mouth…

“But even so, I was a half-mage…”

“···?”

“Do you know? The areas among wizards are so different that you can become a high-level wizard without even knowing how to memorize a single attack spell. The

GM was that case.

The GM, who showed outstanding talent in the field of magic engineering and magic circle research, could not even handle fireball magic. I became a level 6 wizard…

and…

“Wizards who knew about this always started arguing with me, and I was always nervous and had to avoid them… Ah… back then, the Magic Tower was truly wild…” ”

But Nevertheless, Master was not pleased with my learning other magic. He said that my talent was in magic engineering and that he had no time to waste on that type of magic. ” ”

At my repeated requests, I began to learn other magic one by one, but the main study was always magic. I became an engineer… It was so hard that I never slept more than 2 hours a day during that time…

But GM did it…

There were things about engineering that were fun and I was grateful to my teacher…

“It may sound a little strange, but… At that time, I There were times when I felt like my teacher was my father… I didn’t have a father…”

The GM, who was being strongly gaslighted, seemed to be moving further and further away from the path of an explorer, but despite this, he persevered in his life.

However, ‘holding on’ will come at a time. Same meaning as reaching a limit·

“In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore and ran away· I recruited colleagues myself and became an explorer, and after that I spent several years without returning to the academy·”

The importance of studying magic that is merely helpful for exploration However, the GM did not stop studying magic engineering…

And as time went by… Around

the time when a wizard named Jurven Havellion gained a reputation as an explorer…

“That’s when the incident happened… Maybe Baron. I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but… my teacher touched forbidden magic…”

It was discovered that the GM’s teacher had touched the forbidden magic, which is considered taboo among wizards, and the royal family was killed.

They stormed in and the teacher was killed on the spot.

“All the magicians in the school were locked up for several months and were interrogated. Among them, I, who had studied with the teacher for a long time, was the one who was investigated the most.”

Trapped in the interrogation room The GM, who continued to give statements day after day, accidentally found out…

what the forbidden magic his teacher had been researching was…

“It was a shock… I couldn’t believe it…” ”

… What on earth was it?”

“Master was researching magic related to ‘soul transplantation’·”

It was magical research conducted with the goal of infusing a person’s soul into an object and turning it into a magic tool·

If it were possible to train a conscious entity beyond biological limitations for an eternity, Did you think there would be rapid progress?

‘This is completely artificial intelligence deep learning, right?’

It was a time when I was amazed and thinking about that.

“The most important thing in this plan was ‘talent.’ Master thought that the learning speed would be determined by how intelligent the soul to be transplanted was, and selected several candidates accordingly.” Only then

. I also knew

why the GM didn’t want to talk about this…

“Among the names of the candidates written in the plan shown by the investigator, mine was written first. As if they had ranked them, I was the highest in the number written after the name… “

The betrayal of the teacher whom I followed like a parent.

“After that, the whole school disappeared, and I ended up founding my own school. As the school grew bigger and busier, I got busier with work, so the number of times I went into the labyrinth myself decreased.”

After that, the whole school disappeared. I think I know roughly how he was doing.

He must have been managing the community, growing his school, and engaging in secret political communication with the king.

With the goal of leaving this boring world and returning.

“So… how was it? “My story is…”

The GM soon asked me in a somewhat relieved tone of voice, and I thought for a moment and answered briefly,

“It was definitely a boring story…”

“···Ahaha, is that right?”

A laugh that sounds awkward to anyone.

However, if you just sympathize and grieve together, the atmosphere will only become strange.

I don’t believe that it will help the other person either.

“But wasn’t it good?”

“yes?”

“Because the guy who betrayed you is not laughing and living well, but he is pitiful…”

At those words, the GM made a dumb expression for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter…

And how long did it take?

“Ahahaha, yes, you can see it that way too…”

The GM, who was laughing out loud, suddenly mutters with a bitter expression,

“…I really wish I could think that simply.

” ··· People’s hearts don’t really go as they say…

***

The day after the honest conversation with GM…

We woke up early in the morning and quickly headed to the cave leading to the underground passage…

And we arrived at our destination at the end of the day. I did…

But the problem is…

“It’s not bad to have time like this after a long time… I felt like I was back in my explorer days… Thank you… Why are you looking like that?”

It’s a national rule to say things like that after returning to the city… But

if you suddenly say something like that, something will

happen

…

“Why are you doing that…?”

“Quiet…”

When I lowered my voice, the guy seemed to sense something was wrong and tightened his grip on his staff with a nervous face.

“Why are all wizards like Dwarki?”

A question suddenly occurred to me, but it wasn’t immediately important, so I concentrated on looking at the entrance to the cave…

[I came here…]

[Daehangeun Lee Baek-ho…]

Lee Baek-ho’s graffiti, which I found while passing by before…

Underneath, there was a new trace engraved that I couldn’t find before. ·

[Rafdonia’s king mother fucker ·]

That sentence, which was used as a meme in Ghostbusters, is something players with experience in community activities will never know · It’s obvious who

wrote it ·

Baekho Lee wrote it because he was bored on his way home I guess…

“That thing…!”

“Do you know what the text is?”

“… I understand that it is a letter used by evil spirits… Now that I see it, the letter written above seems to be one of the letters they use…”

The GM is embarrassed and continues to make excuses because he cannot reveal that it is an evil spirit.

Normally, he would not know anything. I probably would have teased him by asking him a difficult question, but unfortunately there was no time for that.

“Anyway, it looks like there was a passenger. For now, let’s get far away from here…”

“Yes…?”

“Isn’t there anything good about running into each other? It would be inconvenient if the city found out that I was out…”

“Ah…”

Actually, I said this because I didn’t want to run into Lee Baek-ho’s guys, but the GM, who didn’t know the truth, was obediently convinced.

Therefore,

as soon as

the communication is over, I

step

back as soon as the communication

is

over. !!”

A man’s cries are heard from inside the cave…

The cries were far from being called screams…

Or, if you were to ask me,

…

It was almost like a scream made out of frustration.

Surprisingly, the scream that sounded like an echo was getting closer at a fast pace—·

“Can you hear me? You’re nearby! “Can you hear me?”

Soon, a man comes out of the cave at a speed so fast that it is difficult to follow him with the eyes and shouts,

‘…Lee Baek-ho?’

As expected, the subject of the sound was Lee Baek-ho. However,

the problem here is again…

“Just try to get caught!” uh? If I get caught, I’ll just—·”

Baekho Lee, who came out of the cave, accelerated and jumped greatly…

And…

“····”

“····”

In that state, the two of us made eye contact. ·

Suddenly

Lee Baek-ho’s body, which seemed to fly into the sky like a jet, falls helplessly and lands on the ground ·

“··· Why is the Baron with him?”

Lee Baek-ho shows an unusually embarrassed expression ·

But that’s the expression. It didn’t take long to turn into this demon…

“Could it be… we did it together…?”

You two did it together…?

When Lee Baek-ho made an expression of confusion, he shouted in a voice full of irritation,

“Why are you pretending not to know? What are you doing to destroy the spinning magic circle?”

No, what does this mean?
