Chapter 485. Aim! Top of the Tower (3)

“The important thing is whether you agree or not. You can be what you want to be, and lead the way you want to be.”

“....okay.”

“I don't agree with Helmin's opinion, but if you truly hate the Mage Tower, I think it's good to take the opportunity to fix it yourself.”

Anyway, this is my will.

In the end, the important thing is whether Dia is willing or not.

“I...

Dia, who was thinking based on what I said, tried to say something, but I smiled and pretended to cover her lips with my fingertips.

“For now, until here. I'll give you some time to think about it.”

“???? yes.”

Dia nodded as if she thought it was not an easy decision to make.

“One more thing though.”

I grinned and tried to offer my own advice.

How do you know the intentions of others? The most important thing is this.

“Sometimes it's fun to get your hands on the power and do whatever you want. At least not bad.” Understanding what

“...I”

meant, she opened her eyes wide.

“That's all.”

and the next morning.

Dia came to the office with clear traces of trouble all night.

I was waiting on purpose because I thought she would come back with an answer by now.

“so? decision?”

“I will try.”

“Hoo? Are you okay? If we're going to do it by invitation, we don't have to force it, right?”

It's hard to say such a thing for being encouraged, but I checked once again to see if there was any reversal of that decision.

“I've thought about it... but Arel-sama is right.”

“Hmm??????

“Certainly, in the Mage Tower today, there may be students who don't have the opportunity to learn properly like me in the past. So, if I can change it, maybe it would be better to change it...” I thought.

Is this the conclusion she came up with?

I listened to it and nodded in agreement.

“Are you okay?”

Let's try that little thing.

If I put Dia in the Mage Tower Master, from now on, the Mage Tower will be as I please huhuhuhuhu.....

I won't openly play with it because it's in the public eye, but I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy the benefits properly.

And research will be easier.

Even if it wasn't, I thought from time to time that it was necessary.

“good night! Then, for now, the goal is to aim for the owner of the Mage Tower!”

“yes!”

That's how we set our goal right now.

Aim for it, Master of the Magic Tower!

It's devouring the magic tower!

Of course, with skill and fairness!

“...but what should I do?”

“huh?”

Even after setting the goal with great energy, I blinked blankly for a moment.

“Arell?”

“Oh, come to think of it, I didn’t hear that!”

this! forgot to ask

Come to think of it, how do you select the lord of the mage tower from among the alternative recommendations?

Wouldn't it be possible to gather them all together and try to play a match, and then seat the winner as the owner of the mage?

I don't think it would be that savage.

There is no need to bother guessing.

I immediately contacted Helmin and asked.

Helmin also laughed bitterly and said,

“Come to think of it, I forgot to explain.”

he apologized.

done tell me how quickly

“It is to gather candidates, evaluate them with various tasks, and select the most excellent person as the next Mage Tower master.”

“Hmm, I thought it was just a duel, but it’s surprising.”

“Of course, the final selection method will be a duel between the remaining candidates.”

The task was different in detail each time the mage master was elected, but the final decision was always a duel.

Helmin said so.

And the fact that the elders secretly stole it was not to the point of being ignored.

....They won't know.

In the first place, the intention of spilling money into the Mage Tower itself was Arel's intention to prevent their presence from being ignored.

And that they are perfectly tamed with that money...

“What if I oppose it with some vague cause?”

“You won’t understand.”

Worst case, break the deal.

Then the money will run out.

That should be avoided.

“The best course of action is to keep the mage out of competition.”

Diarechi is eliminated from the competition.

Fair enough.

If he was publicly dropped for the reason of his ability, Arel would not be able to exert any more force than that.

However, their faces were not bright.

“A 7th class master at such a young age... What is the probability that such a genius will fail?”

.... hmm.

“???? Great.”

There aren't that many wizards in the Mage Tower that reach or exceed Class 7.

Helmin's class 8 and other wizards are mostly elders or those who are not interested in the next mage tower master.

At least some of them were barely recruited and elected, but it was the beginning of the 7th class.

What is the odds of winning?

Even in the same 7 classes, there is a difference in level.

On top of that, it would be absurd to calculate the odds of winning on the premise of fair competition so that Arell wouldn't be offended.

“How is your disciple?”

“...Umm, that must be difficult.”

However, it is not enough for an elder to step forward directly, but age is a problem.

There is no age limit for the position of Master of the Tower.

But the problem is stamina.

just youth!

It must be more than class differences.

So the old people sighed heavily and agonized.

....except for one.

The only one who seemed relaxed was a sorceress in her mid-fifties.

“Hehe, no worries about that.

Yes or no.”

“Elder Francena?”

Elder Francena showed a slight smile as if nothing was wrong with the other elders' bizarre glances.

“What do you mean no worries?”

“It means that no matter how genius she is, she can never surpass my student.”

“....no way.”

Come to think of it!

The elders remembered only then.

In this recommendation, she immediately put forward her disciple.

And that disciple was a hot topic even within the Mage Tower.

“Your disciple must be...

“Yes, he is also a 7th class master. I reached that level in just three years.”

He boasts loudly as if he were proud.

What... I would actually be proud of it.

Growing up to Class 7 in just 3 years is a feat never seen before in the history of the Mage Tower.

As a teacher, there is no other achievement like that.

There are just as many suspicions, but there would be no point in discussing them here and now.

The other elders were instead interested in other things.

“Then do you think that your pupil can surpass her?”

“Sure.”

She was confident without the slightest hesitation.

Normally, people would just think that something was put on their eyes, but since that person is a person now, not everyone can hear it.

“I know you love your pupil.

However, if you are on a similar level, it is difficult to discuss the odds...

One of the elders seriously advised, but she rather snorted and passed it over.

“I am not that stupid. How can you be sure of it after examining it calmly?”

to her remarks.

‘Where are you going? They're playing!'

Obviously everyone is thinking the same thing.
