    ◈ Episode 95 Old Magic Tower

    When Ludger nailed it down and said that he would never go to the Magic Tower Altego could only mutter and say nothing.

    It was the same for the five wizards who followed him.

    His five immediate disciples including Chairman Altego.

    When and where would they have heard such verbal abuse to their faces?

    Although they are now called the Old Magic Tower they have declined considerably compared to the heyday of the old Magic Tower when they wielded omnipotent power.

    Still the Magic Tower was still a place where countless wizards knocked on its door with dreams and aspirations.

    Altego is a person who occupies a part of the Council of 12 which only those selected in the magic tower can enter.

    The reality was that no matter what wizard he was he couldn’t carelessly put pressure on his shoulder in front of him.

    ‘But what?’

    What on earth did this bright blue baby in front of me say just now?

    Even if they give you a seat on the Magic Tower’s Senate you have no reason to enter the Magic Tower?

    That day was the first time I realized that this is what it means to be so angry that nothing comes out.

    “this guy! “How dare you flaunt your open mouth in front of anyone!”

    The first to understand the situation was one of the five disciples brought by Altego.

    “The chairman spoke kindly of Seorun’s teachers so don’t be proud! Master! “The answer is to just ignore a guy like that.”

    He was fuming because he couldn’t overcome his anger and it seemed like he didn’t want to be here even for a second.

    However the moment he was about to say let’s leave what came back to him was not Ludger’s answer but Elisa’s giggling laughter.

    “Ahahahahaha!”

    Instead of her usual fake laughter she burst into laughter filled with 100% pure emotion.

    Even Altego who knew a lot about her was taken aback by her laughter. It was the same for the five disciples.

    Elisa who had been laughing for a while gently wiped away the tears that had formed from laughing so hard with her fingertips.

    “iced coffee. really. It’s so funny. “I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve laughed like this in my life.”

    Saying that she returned to her usual devious smile.

    “That’s right? Chairman? Mr. Ludger says he doesn’t want to go so what should I do? “You’ve come this far in vain.”

    If not now when would you ever poop on the face of an old man you don’t want to see in front of you?

    Since he scolded a guy much younger than him for not going to his face his pride must not have been hurt.

    Elisa continued to scold Altego with a bright smile on her face.

    “So I told you~. Why bother coming to the academy when you’re going to be rejected anyway? Chairman do you think the magic tower is still the magic tower it used to be?”

    “you! “Can’t you watch your mouth?!”

    One of Altego’s five disciples got angry and came forward.

    The expression on Elisa’s face disappeared in an instant.

    “What if you don’t like it?”

    “what?”

    “If you don’t like it. “I asked what to do.”

    The moment Altego’s disciple panicked a horrifying magical power spewed out from Elisa and began to tighten his body.

    “Big!”

    I can’t breathe properly.

    He stared at Elisa with wide eyes in disbelief.

    Elisa Willow.

    I heard that he was a genius wizard who achieved the 6th rank at a young age.

    Even the fact that he was a person who was active in the New Magic Tower but suddenly left and took over the honor of the president of Seorn.

    He was very dissatisfied when the world praised her as a genius.

    If he was a true genius he would have stayed in the Magic Tower and made a name for himself. Why did he go to the position of president like Seorun?

    Of course I couldn’t help but think that he had run away.

    I thought he went to an academy where children play house because he was afraid his finances would be revealed.

    Because I thought the rumors about her were overly exaggerated and nothing more than gossip that people liked to dwell on.

    I thought that if I met her I would be able to prove that I was superior to her.

    I said so.

    ‘It’s on a different level.’

    I couldn’t move even the tips of my fingers properly. Even breathing is difficult let alone using magical power.

    I felt like I was lost in the depths of the ocean filled with endless darkness.

    However what makes him even more distressed is that the only way he can breathe is because Elisa gave him the least amount of consideration.

    ‘I’m no match for you.’

    The youngest 6th rank wizard.

    [Rexor] level power the 3rd highest among the existing 8 ranks.

    “Stop it.”

    It was Altego that cut off the overflowing tension with a single stroke.

    Elisha clicked his tongue and gathered his magic power.

    Despite his personality Altego’s abilities are also real.

    Since he is a 6th rank wizard like her if he clashes for no reason it will only bother him.

    Altego dissuaded his students in a calmer voice.

    “You guys should stop too.”

    “But Master.”

    Altego looked back at his students without saying a word.

    The disciples who were about to retort became silent the moment they saw Altego’s expressionless face.

    “egg plant.”

    Before leaving Altego glared at Elisa one last time and glared at Ludger who was staring at him with an expressionless face over her shoulder.

    “You will definitely pay the price later.”

    Even if he was a no-nonsense person his personality wasn’t so bad that he would cause a scene like this so he just stepped down.

    I promised myself over and over again deep in my heart that I would never forget this humiliation.

    Normally in situations like this the other person will react in some way nervous or embarrassed.

    But Ludger didn’t do that.

    There was only one simple action he showed.

    A slight nod of the head.

    It was like a provocation saying ‘If you can try it.’

    Wow.

    Altego gritted his molars and left the banquet hall pushing his disciples away.

    The five disciples who were at a loss as to what to do quickly followed Chairman Altego.

    “Ugh.”

    When Altego completely disappeared Elisa relaxed her shoulders.

    Then unlike usual he smiled at Ludger looking a little tired.

    “sorry. Mr. Ludger. “I should have been more thorough.”

    “no. Rather I received help from the president.”

    “You don’t have to say that. “Anyway the reason I got in the way was because of my evil relationship with that sly old man.”

    Elisha suddenly asked.

    “Do you also hate the Magic Tower Mr. Ludger?”

    Do you hate the Magic Tower?

    If I had to answer it was definitely closer to hating it.

    It was the same with Elisha.

    “I was actually a wizard from the Magic Tower.”

    “I know.”

    “Actually it’s harder to find a wizard on the continent who isn’t from the Magic Tower but anyway I hear they’re geniuses there too… Oh if you’re like this you’re showing off too much.”

    “it’s okay.”

    “I worked hard there. The Magic Tower is a bit too old-fashioned isn’t it? These days science magic and engineering are all advancing but aren’t the old people in the back room running around asking how they can accept it? “We fought a lot.”

    This is where the old magic tower and the new magic tower are divided.

    The Old Magic Tower is a place where those who follow the authoritarian personality of wizards gather.

    The prevailing view was that magic must be great no one can use it carelessly and only the chosen can practice it.

    ‘On the other hand the New Magic Tower is a sect that seeks to shed the authoritarian mask of magic and combine it with modern science.’

    It may have been hundreds of years ago but human history has made rapid progress in the last 200 years.

    Cars replaced horse-drawn carriages and weapons using gunpowder instead of simply swinging swords were the mainstay.

    Despite this wizards and knights still played a part in the world but they could not completely reject change.

    This was especially true for wizards.

    Magic and science.

    These two seemed the same yet different and yet different yet the same.

    The old Magic Tower wizards argued that such science should be rejected but the new Magic Tower wizards thought that science should be incorporated.

    These wizards of the New Magic Tower made claims not only through words but also through actions.

    By combining magic and science magic engineering was born.

    The birth of magic engineering.

    It made the world develop faster.

    Steamship Magic Train Steam Golem Flying airship.

    All kinds of things were born and new things were still appearing.

    In this turbulent world the Magic Tower was torn apart so much that the two forces could not repair it.

    ‘In a larger sense the conflict between Artego and President Elisa shows the relationship between old-age wizards and new-age wizards.’

    And Ludger himself could be said to be closer to a new age wizard.

    no. To be more precise.

    ‘The mind is a new age wizard but the main magic used is closer to the old age.’

    The ‘real magic’ that he rarely showed to others was actually much closer to old age magic than new age magic.

    However it was not something to brag about so Ludger just nodded and responded to Elisa’s words.

    “Did I talk too much? Still it is a long-awaited banquet to celebrate and Mr. Ludger must be tired.”

    “no.”

    “I’ll just leave the room for now. I also have so many people to deal with. Mr. Ludger I hope you enjoy today as much as possible. Just drink a little! “You understand right?”

    “Of course.”

    Just as she had appeared Elisa disappeared from his sight the hem of her black dress fluttering.

    Is it finally over?

    Following the argument with Ivan Luke the wizards of the Magic Tower came to bother him.

    It was quite mentally tiring but Ludger quickly changed his mind.

    Because I came to this banquet hall today with a purpose.

    “ah! “Mr. Ludger!”

    As Ludger approached Selina who happened to be with the others welcomed Ludger.

    “Miss Selina. Are you okay?”

    “yes? yes. are you okay. The chairman of Luke came and apologized in person. “I don’t mind.”

    “Is that so? “Thank goodness.”

    No matter how bad he had a son the chairman personally came forward and apologized.

    He may have an ulterior motive but compared to his son he is clearly a more corrupt person.

    Ludger glanced around and looked at the people who were with Selina.

    “You were chatting with other people.”

    The number of people with whom Selina can have friendly conversations is limited in this banquet hall.

    Besides Merilda who often took care of her there was someone close to Selina.

    “oh. nice to meet you.”

    “You are the one of the rumors….”

    Three women and one man looked at Ludger and widened their eyes in surprise.

    There were people I met for the first time but there were also faces I had passed by at least once.

    They were teachers in charge of elemental science in Seorn.

    There are a total of four with each student occupying one seat from the second year to the final year the fifth year.

    Ludger saluted them.

    “This is Ludger Chelisi a second-year specialized student.”

    “I heard. A new teacher is in charge of the second grade class. “Oh my name is Sethruna and I am a second-year elemental science teacher.”

    Sethruna was a woman with short red hair.

    For a moment Ludger suspected that the woman was Esmeralda a member of the First Order.

    ‘no. ‘We can’t make a hasty judgment just yet.’

    Ludger also exchanged words with the rest of the teachers.

    “My name is Partonya and I am in charge of the third grade.”

    Partonya who taught third grade students was an attractive woman with a great appearance.

    “My name is Vierano Dentis and I am in charge of the fourth grade.”

    The 4th grade teacher was the only male among the elemental science teachers and he was short and seemed quite timid.

    And surprisingly he was an elf with pointy ears.

    ‘Is it an elf?’

    There was nothing particularly strange about the presence of various sub-races in Seorn. Among them it wouldn’t be strange for an elf with a particularly high affinity for nature to be in charge of elemental science.

    “This is Angela Anderson.”

    Lastly the 5th grade teacher in charge of the graduating class was a sharp-looking woman wearing glasses.

    Should I say she was strict? She was quite a beautiful woman but she had an image that was difficult to approach.

    ‘If I were to narrow down the culprit it would be one of these three excluding Vierano who is an elf.’

    The problem is which of the three is the real one?

    Esmeralda knows Ludger’s identity.

    In that case it was right for Esmeralda to show some kind of reaction from the moment of the formal and light handshake.

    But none of the three showed any special reaction towards him.

    ‘Are you saying it’s not all three of them?’

    Ludger calculated the number of cases.

    If Esmeralda had such great steadfastness that she wouldn’t get caught even in this situation.

    However during our conversation at that time I felt that her personality was secretly fiery and difficult.

    That was the part where he got irritated when things didn’t go his way.

    ‘If you have any doubts it’s Seth Luna the second grade teacher.’

    First of all from the 3rd grade onwards this position is only available to teachers with multiple years of experience.

    However up to the second year most of the positions are filled with teachers who have been in office for a short period of time so if the Black Dawn Society were to plant someone there was a high probability that it would be this way.

    ‘First should I ask Hans to find out about a person named Sethruna?’

    As my worries deepened I felt a little thirsty.

    Ludger tried to call the server thinking that since anything was fine he should drink something.

    However I couldn’t help but pause for a moment when I saw that familiar face.

    “…Rine?”

    A student taking his class and the owner of non-attribute magical power.

    This is because Rine who is keeping a particularly close eye on this area was here.

    She was wearing a black and white waitress uniform and holding a silver tray in one hand.

    Line also froze when she saw Ludger.
