Chapter 486. Aim! Top of the Tower (4)
“Do you have any evidence?”
“It hasn’t been revealed yet, but actually he… 99
“He?”
While everyone's attention was focused, she raised the corner of her mouth and revealed the fact that she had been hiding.
“Maybe I'll reach the 8th class soon.”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by that statement.
8 classes!
Even Helmin barely achieved it until he was in his 30s.
That was possible because he was an extremely rare genius.
It's easy for a kid in his late twenties to do that.
“If that were true! It wouldn’t be unreasonable to be certain of the odds!”
“No. There is no other powerful person besides him!”
“Yes. So I have no worries.”
As if to assume superiority in front of them, she once again asserted her convictions.
“I'm sure he will be the next Mage Tower Master!”
There are several training centers in the Magic Tower.
For magicians, what is more important than research is practice to raise one's individual level.
And there is no choice but to have a place for it.
That's why the Mage's Tower spent a huge amount of money trying to prepare as much training environment as possible.
Now, this place is classified as a fairly extreme place among the many training centers.
A room where nothing exists.
A young man is quietly meditating in an empty room.
Compared to other training centers, it may be a shabby place, but this place is more harsh than any other training center.
There is extremely little air right here.
A place where the amount of air is so low that a normal creature faints within a few minutes upon entering.
Instead, the concentration of mana flowing in inverse proportion was several dozen times higher.
The training here is purely dependent on mana to maintain consciousness.
A room for training to get out of the frame of human beings through advanced mental power.
There are only a few people in the Magic Tower who can use this place.
And since even the elders are extremely reluctant to enter, there is no need to explain the difficulty.
There he has already been locked up for about ten days.
It only relies on mana flowing in to maintain its vital activity.
If your mental powers are disturbed even a little bit, your brain will not be able to withstand it and you will pass out.
But in such a place he has been holding out for ten days already.
It was not his limit that broke his meditation, but
“You last longer than before that level.”
“...Master.”
The young man opened his eyes.
When he stopped training, the air in the room automatically filled up, and instead, the concentration of mana became the same as outside.
“But locking yourself in for ten days is excessive.”
“I have no face.”
Elder Francena's disciple, Grebel, sincerely bowed his head as if he had no face.
“Originally, even if you last half a day here, it's enough to be proud. If you are already at this level, there is no need to train to this extent.”
You don't have to endure any longer to get any results.
Francena requested that.
However, there is one reason why this young man persists.
“…I thought maybe if I did this, I would get closer to the higher wall.”
It is to gain enlightenment to reach the realm.
A wall simply placed in front of your eyes.
Not just to reach class 8, but beyond.
For that, he doesn't hesitate to go through hardships.
Francena clicked her tongue at the disciple's reckless behavior.
“Tsk tsk mortification alone does not achieve enlightenment. Of course, newbies get it, but you are different.”
“It’s too much, sir. But if it's like this...
Gravel was speechless.
It must be that it is still not enough to reach a higher level.
In order to go beyond the 7th class and reach the 8th class, knowledge alone is not enough.
There has to be something decisive.
However, it is not even beginning to be an intimate practice.
Francena noticed the student's nervousness and encouraged him.
“Grebel, you are a true genius. So there is no need to feel burdened.
Of course, there are many talented people in the Magic Tower. But you are even more different. Yes... It's a vessel that will surpass the current Mage Tower Master.”
w
“If I say that, it won’t touch you.”
Francena just laughed off the disciple's humble attitude as if it were pleasant.
“Master seems to be in a particularly good mood today.”
“okay. Seeing those incompetent old people who are full of worries made me feel excited because your victory was already visible.”
“Is that so?”
“From the looks of it, it seems that there is no other competitor.”
“Even so, I have no intention of being vigilant.”
“Yeah, so be it.”
Francena only encourages students who have a more determined will.
“Don’t worry. The next Mage Tower Master will definitely be yours.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not particularly obsessed with being the head of the pagoda. It's a means to me anyway.
“…Yes, it was.”
Knowing why her pupil was seeking power, she murmured as if she understood.
“But if you want to achieve your goal, wouldn't it be better to become the owner of the Mage Tower? The tower owner's authority will surely help you put your ideal into practice.”
“I will keep this in mind, Master.”
Gravel burned even more will to his teacher's advice.
Elder Francena watches the training as if she is pleased.
Shortly after, she left, saying she had other things to do.
It was only then that Gravel was able to concentrate in earnest.
Basically, he can concentrate whether or not anyone is watching.
No, in the first place, if you lose your concentration on the gaze or sound, that's disqualification as a wizard.
But even he can't calm down in front of her now teacher and one other person.
‘...I still don't know.'
Are you uncomfortable?
No way.
He respects his master.
It was none other than the elder Francena who lifted him up from despair due to the limitations of his talent in the past.
And he also gave guidance on how to reach the current state.
I did it out of awe, but there is no reason to feel uncomfortable.
Everything she says is right. Isn't the present self proof of that?
Strangely, though, he feels a tingling sensation in a corner of his chest recently.
like anxiety.
The feeling of forgetting something.
Is it okay as it is? question to do.
‘It's probably because I'm still lacking in practice.'
Regarding this feeling as his own immaturity, he started meditating again to forcefully erase it.
However, his meditation did not last long.
Also name.
There was someone who broke into the training room.
And that, of course, is the opponent who makes that level unable to concentrate.
Of course, in her case, it's simply because she's physically loud.
“ah! Gravel! You were here!”
“…Rumie, is that you?”
He glanced at a woman who was running rather undemandingly, speaking more casually than just a moment ago.
A woman wearing a robe with the same pattern as Grebel, a sign that she has the same teacher.
Although he is a year older than Grebel, he is not considered older because of his overly bright behavior.
.... To put it bluntly, it means that it's very fair.
Lumie SLd.
He is a so-called alumni who had the same teacher as Grebel.
“Oh, was it a hindrance? Are you in the middle of training?”
“doesn't care. After all, Master was here a while ago.”
“ah? I see? I see you're confused
I haven't seen you.”
“If you have any business for Master, go to his research workshop.”
“No, no. It's because you came to Gravel.”
She shakes her head and says.
That kind of behavior itself seems strangely childish.
“And seeing Master right now is a little…
“Hmm?”
“That's actually because I haven't yet solved the assignment given by Master.”
Lumie wiggles her fingers and speaks in embarrassment.
Grebel sighed when he heard such a pathetic sound.
“...I recommend going there sooner rather than later.”
Of course, this kind of attitude is crucial for her to look like a child.
“More than that! I heard Gravel! I heard you’ve been recommended as a candidate for the next Mage Tower Master!”
It happened.”
“What? That's great! Ah, then should I call you the next Mage Tower Lord?”
“Don’t be frivolous.”
“no way. I know. You mean there are still other candidates left?”
Of course, the meaning of what she said contained the conviction that Gralevel's skills would never be inferior to those of other candidates.
“But don't you think the other candidates are better than Gravel?”
“... Master too. It's too much of an exaggeration. Depending on the field, there are many people who are much better than me.”
It's not that he doesn't have his own either.
Even if I say this, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone in real life.
However, I cannot tremble with arrogance in front of this flirtatious motive.
If that happened, it was obvious that he would shout loudly all over the magic tower.
It's not that she doesn't like it.
Still, I wish I could be more calm now, but I'm not a kid.
He didn't show it in front of his teacher, but it's half of his true intentions that he doesn't easily think of this recommendation.
“...Come to think of it, Dia Reki was also nominated as a candidate.”
It was a rumor he had heard by chance.
The fact that Helmin, the current Mage Tower owner, recommended her instead of his disciple. It's a story that everyone already knows.
“huh? oh that dia? Are you surprised? Now she is almost an outsider.”
“Because your skills are real.”
It was a bar that others admitted, even though they disapproved of it.
It's the same.
“Come to think of it, Lumie, you didn’t know her very well, right?”
“huh. Because there was no time for that.
Maybe I don't know that either?”
“Well... I'm not different though.”
Dia, Grebel, and Lumie were of similar generations when they entered the Mage Tower.
However, it cannot be said that they know each other well.
That's just about it.
“Are you nervous?”
“Not to that extent. But… you can’t be careless.”
Dia is not the only thing to watch out for.
I'm sure the talented people recommended by each school will compete for the position of the next Mage Tower Master.
“...I don’t intend to look down on or be intimidated by anyone being mentioned as a candidate.”
Gravel muttered with the cold glare locked in his pupils.
“I will be the next top owner. That way… we can change this disgusting place.”
“…Yes, it was.”
Only this time, Rumi couldn't help but smile.
It is because he knows what the driving force that reached the present state in a short time by repeating such arduous practice.
“Current Mage Tower can't do it... It only extends its hands to those who are overly talented.”
“...Even if it's not her, I have no intention of losing to other prominent geniuses.”
Gravel said so.
There is a strange hostility in the emotion that dwells in the words.
If I had to follow the direction, it would probably be hostility toward the tower itself.
“I must… become the owner of the pagoda… and make this pagoda… a fair pagoda where even those without talent can live.
Lumie's palm gently went up on his head.
“don't worry. If you're at that level, you won't fall behind other candidates.”
“???? okay.”
Gravel quietly moved his head up and down once, then closed his eyes again.
Perhaps because of her clumsy encouragement, I don't feel the awkward sense of incongruity from before.
Again, only confidence and certainty dwells.
