ㄴ Marine113: Cancel it. I’ll file a lawsuit with the Tower of Ethics against your insulting language and impose a disciplinary action on you as a student of the Eternal University…

ㄴ ㅇㅇ(1.1): Oh, from the Glescia faction? Then can you eat ice cream for free every day? Awesome~

ㄴ Marine113: F***. You can have this.

Dawn.

The users cheered in the unexpectedly heated atmosphere of the gallery.

Was it because the fights that happened several times a day were particularly new today?

No.

It was because the outcome no longer mattered.

1.1

[I’m sorry. In fact, I think it’s accurate to say that Meteor is an ice magic.]

(Picture of a frog raising its fist)

Words being punched

[Recommended 189 / Not recommended 1]

—I agree.

—If Marine113 is the one who commented out of excitement, thumbs up.

—It’s obvious who gave the thumbs down, lol.

Marine113 venting their anger and the mysterious fluctuating IP that gently scratches it.

Most of those familiar with online communities had a pretty good idea of its identity.

—–

[Stop it, I’m going to cry, kid.]

Even if you don’t know who it is, you won.

—I think I know who it is.

—Check the IP address, lololol 1.1 lololol

—For real, lol. Is it the top commenter?

—–

—–

[Oh, so ‘that fluctuating IP’ was really the top commenter, lololol]

Can you see for the first time in the history of the Empire a Topju being prosecuted by the Ethics Committee?

– If it really happens, it would be funny.

– But aren’t there people here who can manipulate IPs? If it’s not a real Topju, then it can only be the administrator, right?

ㄴ Oh, suspicious bad remarks from a good little duck~

ㄴ Shh!

ㄴ We don’t know anything!

[Have you seen unfamiliar nicks suddenly appearing?]

At this time?

– It was the awakening of the Clean Dawn, who is always up at this hour~

– It’s reassuring to see them giving their all even when fighting against infiltration~

Since the establishment of the magic tower Gallery, the identity of its owner has never been revealed.

They didn’t know which school they belonged to, what rank of magician they were, or even if they were alone.

Even while managing a community with such an impact, they left no trace that could be specifically identified.

That’s why, when they participate in a fight with a sub-account like today, it raises expectations.

Hoping that maybe they can find a clue about the identity of that little duck.

[Look, it’s the one who was bothering me]

Come to the Glacia School of Thought research lab on the Biwon floor tomorrow.

If you tell the attendant that you’ve been summoned by the youngest, they will guide you.

Don’t run away, make sure to come.

I’ll make you realize it when we meet face to face.

— Are you scared?

— Let’s go, let’s go~

— If it’s the Biwon floor, it’s the middle floor…

— Is it okay to reveal the location of the lab?

At the point when the comments exceeded three pages from the first post.

The anticipation reached its peak as Marine113’s anger, which he could no longer bear, was tightly compressed in his post.

Even though everyone knew there was no way he would comply, they all waited quietly for Judak’s response.

After a while, one comment was posted on Marine113’s post.

— ㅇㅇ(1.1): Don’t want to? Then come to the Maryland Arena yourself.

— ㅇㅇ(1.1): Wait under the statue, lol.

Of course, there was not a single thought of responding to the challenge.

My position as an apprentice is only at level 1, but who can I defeat with magic?

The reason I accepted the provocation was simply because I wanted to see the other person’s face.

The Maryland Tower is one of the dormitories where the apprentices who have just arrived unpack first.

There is no need to worry about being recognized due to the high population turnover, and above all, it is where I work as a supervisor.

There is a 30% chance that I will check who is standing under the statue and go back to sleep.

There is a 70% chance that I will not even get up late and have no reason to go out.

Considering my usual sleep pattern, the latter was more likely, but today was an exception.

It was because of the unwelcome visitor who came into the office and shouted as soon as the sun rose.

“Wake up, Clark, you lazy disciple!”

I stuck my face out of the blanket to confirm the identity.

It was a woman wearing a robe that was close to ragged clothes, glaring at me.

The noteworthy point was her height, which was almost the same as the height of the ice water dispenser installed by the prefecture’s authority a week ago.

In other words, she was incredibly short.

“I thought the light was on because you were studying all night. But you were looking at something like this all night again. Kids these days….”

“What happened this morning, Master?”

Anes Aiter.

The founder of the Aiter sect, which can be considered the precursor of the Haeju sect.

There must be a reason why such a great magician has come to such a miserable place.

The Haeju sect is the worst-disliked sect within the tower. Accordingly, their financial situation is terrible.

“The lab is too cold to sleep well.”

“Is there no boiler there?”

“We have a wood-burning stove, but the cost of firewood is expensive.”

What is the opposite of exorcism? It is a curse.

In this world, if someone incurs resentment or fights against demons and gets cursed, there is a designated method of treatment.

They go to a priest of the sect or a magician who specializes in sacred magic.

Magicians from the exorcism school do not exist in the list of priorities.

The reason is simple.

It is more convenient to receive a clean blessing and be done with it, rather than going through the process of unraveling the principles and essence of magic and reconstructing the spell.

As a result, there is no place for a magician who graduated from the exorcism school to find employment in the continent. Well, to be precise, there is only one way of employment available.

That is to walk the path of a curse magician.

How convenient it is. If you just close your eyes, you will receive offers from various evil organizations on the continent, including the Black Stars, a group of black magicians.

If you were a highly educated talent who was treated as a chilly rice at the Magic Tower, they would welcome you with open arms there as well.

Ultimately, the current exorcism school was producing outstanding fugitives who would leave their names in the history of the empire every year.

No wonder all institutions, including the royal family, have cut off funding.

It was the story of how Anes, who claimed to be my master, came to the faculty room and melted her body by the warm fireplace on cold days.

“If you don’t have money in the school, can’t you go out and earn it? Honestly, at your level, you can use other types of magic.”

“Hmm, the current me is mentally burdened due to the curse. The more I release my power, the worse the curse becomes.”

“What curse are you under?”

“I shrink in size. It’s a terrible thing.”

She confessed the truth with an endlessly heavy expression.

Is there really much of a difference even if it’s already at the level of an ice water dispenser and it decreases?

Anyway, it seemed that even as a new attendant, he was making efforts to gather followers and participate in the society, trying to preserve his own school of thought.

It’s just unfortunate that I had to hold on to him as a lifeline.

“Clark, it’s about time for you to start climbing the tower. Didn’t I send you to the martial arts training ground?”

“You said I could take it slow back then.”

“That’s because! You! Spent four years! Idling around in this lowest level!!!”

The purpose of the trainees who entered the martial arts training ground was to climb the tower.

Especially on the 1st floor, if you have any talent in magic, it’s rare to fail the test, which is almost like a passing ceremony.

They will write their names on the “Monument of Omniscience” in front of the grand square and choose the Wish they want to obtain.

Then, depending on the challenger’s abilities and aptitude, the path to climb the tower is engraved on the constellation board of the monument.

There were many cases where they raised their ranks and then engraved their names after increasing the number of stars engraved on the monument, as it increased the likelihood of obtaining a connection.

Of course, it was not common for someone like me to stay on the 1st floor for a long time.

“I understand that you need to prepare mentally. Still, it’s not that difficult to write one name on the monument, is it?”

“It’s not easy.”

“What on earth are you talking about!! Just by climbing up to the 20th floor, no, even the 10th floor, there are many teachings I can give you!!”

Seeing him stomping his feet like a cute nephew having a tantrum, it seems that the curse is indeed effective.

However, cuteness alone couldn’t convince me.

“When the time comes, you’ll climb up on your own. For now, why don’t you get some sleep? I’ve warmed up a blanket here.”

“Would you please listen to me properly…!”

“I have something to do, so when you leave, just lock the door. Oh, by the way, would you like a cup of cocoa?”

“Is it really…!?”

After throwing the bait of a warm bed and sweet drink, I put on my robe and left the faculty room. I had to hurry because time was running out.

The hallways and stairs were bustling with students heading to lectures since morning.

At the entrance of the dormitory stood a statue of Merlin, the founder of the Calaedos School of Magic.

This Maryland official was named after her.

“Let’s see… Did they really come out?”

Based on my past experiences, there was a high probability that the other party who had requested a duel wouldn’t show up in return.

The reason is obvious. After a good night’s sleep, your mind becomes clear when you think about it the next day.

The conflicts that arise in the community are usually not serious enough to fight over with a flushed face in reality.

In fact, when you meet, a warm atmosphere is often created.

But contrary to my expectations, the other party was waiting at the agreed place. And not just one, but two people.

“Bina, can’t we just go back now? This is the starting floor. If Mironne finds out that we came down on our own, we’ll be in trouble!”

“I can’t do that. We promised to meet here.”

Two women who attracted attention from afar.

As I observed their expressions, I felt that something was wrong and took out my location note.

[Crazy, a direct descendant of the Seven Sages just appeared at the Maryland official]

Looks like a lot of people are here to watch.

– Talking about the Pure-bloods? They have a free pass for climbing, so why did they come down?

– Can we see them if we go now? I’ve been in the top three for three years and haven’t even seen their faces.

—I saw him only once when I was supervising an exam, but I couldn’t even speak. He looked different, and his world seemed completely separate from mine.
