Chapter 103
That night.
Kim Kang-in, who returned to his dorm, was dealing with overdue work.
“Here, this is the end.”
Sua handed over the last document.
“Is it over already?”
“yes. That’s it.”
It didn’t take long since I had most of the important stuff done. In the first place, due to Kim Kang-in’s meticulous personality, he couldn’t have a lot of work.
I’ve been working as a secretary since the launch of the Blue Mage Tower, but I’ve never seen a Blue Mage Tower overdue.
There were occasional overtime shifts, but those were only for unexpected situations.
Kim Kang-in is the type of person who doesn’t create additional work in the first place when it seems that work is going to be pushed back.
It is an environment in which work cannot be pushed.
“ruler. here.”
Kim Kang-in handed over the last document he had reviewed to Soo-ah.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Soo-ah bowed her head with the documents in her arms.
“You did more work. I’m sorry I made you work until this hour.”
The current time is 12:22 PM.
It’s time to go to rest a long time ago.
“no. That’s why I was able to rest comfortably during the day.”
Changes in working hours are unavoidable for such long-term business trips.
“Then I’m glad.”
“… … Don’t they usually scold you if you say you rested during the day?”
“Why give me your soul? I think I had a good rest.”
“I usually get scolded.”
Usually, if you are a boss in a company, you react badly to the words of a subordinate who took a break during the day.
Of course. Overtime is overtime. work is work. Even if you work overtime, it is natural to work during the day.
“okay? hmm.”
Kim Kang-in stroked his chin with an expression that he sincerely couldn’t understand.
For Kang-in Kim, who has been traveling abroad ever since graduating from the academy, the Korean company culture was completely incomprehensible.
“I don’t know.”
Eventually, Kim Kang-in, who gave up on thinking, got up and stretched. He’s been working for about 4 hours, and his body is a little sore.
“Shall I bring some tea?”
“no. are you okay. I’ll ride it. It’s late. Go ahead and get some rest.”
Kim Kang-in stood up from his seat.
Then, he moved to the kitchen on the other side of the hotel room.
“Just sit down. I will ride.”
Such a Kim Kang-in was stopped by Su-a.
“It’s like throwing away those expensive tea leaves. I can’t see.”
“… … Will you throw it away if I touch it?”
“yes. Aren’t you devastatingly incapable of anything other than magic?”
“… … .”
It is Jeongsuah who holds the tongs when grilling and eating pork belly.
Kim Kang-in’s competence is only displayed in professional matters such as company and magic. Other than that, his daily life side is really devastating.
“No matter how much I do, boiling tea leaves… … .”
“All right, please sit down.”
Soo-ah forced Kim Kang-in to sit down and took out a teacup and tea leaves that had been prepared in advance in one corner of the hotel room.
“Serving tea to Master is not considered work.”
Not the Lord of the Tower, but Master.
It was the title Jung Soo-ah called Kim Kang-in in private.
“… … okay.”
Kim Kang-in sat down again and smiled. Then, with a warm smile, I look at the back of Jeong Soo-ah, who is brewing her tea.
“Does it happen to the other kids at work?”
“Please attach an object word.”
“no. I wonder if I can act cute like this to the other kids too.”
Kim Kang-in smiled smirkingly.
Suah slightly turned her head to look at Kangin Kim.
“… … One more word and I’ll go back like this.”
eyes are fierce She exudes a strong sister-in-law’s force, as if she wouldn’t be able to break even a bone if she joked around.
Of course, it was not Kim Kang-in who would back down from that level of momentum.
“Oops. That doesn’t work.”
Not being able to drink Sua’s tea is a bit like that. Kim Kang-in calmed her playfulness with an expression that he couldn’t help it.
It was also when he was quietly looking at Soo-ah’s back.
Woo woo woo woo-!
The sensation of mana fluctuating spread out in all directions.
A flow of wild mana.
An alarm bell rang in Kim Kang-in’s head.
and right after that.
Clink!
The sound of the barrier surrounding the hotel being shattered was heard.
Kangin Kim quickly got up from his seat and went out to the terrace.
“This… … .”
outside the terrace.
Fragment of the barrier. The remains of mana were falling freely like shards of broken glass.
Kyaaaaaaaa-!
Between the fragments of mana, a heavy-bodied bird flapped its huge wings.
“… … Black Bell Wyvern.”
Among the Wyverns called the King of the Sky, the individual called the strongest.
An S-Rank Tier 2 monster that belongs to the Dragon Clan Wyvern.
Black Bell Wyvern.
That guy glared at Kim Kang-in.
and.
oh oh oh!
I shot a breath all over again.
A special move of monsters belonging to the dragon race. Breath.
The power of the breath emitted by a monster the size of a Black Bell Wyvern was beyond imagination.
If that attack hits you directly, Kim Kang-in and even this hotel will be reduced to ashes.
There won’t even be any remains left.
It should be blocked.
‘Water flow.’
At the same time as the breath was released, Kangin Kim’s mana fluctuated.
The mana that went around Kim Kang-in’s eight circles quickly blended with the mana around him and became a water drop.
and soon
‘Myeonggyeongsu(明鏡止水).’
became a lake.
The quantity is huge enough to cover a 30-story hotel.
“wow!”
As if someone was surprised by its overwhelming majesty, an exclamation was heard in the air.
and right after that.
Aaaaaaaang-!
A riot rang out.
A roar as if a bomb had been dropped into the sea.
A stream of water to block and a black breath to break through.
Between them, polygons of black and blue mana flew.
The impact was so strong that the air as well as the earth shook.
The entire building shuddered, and screams rang out everywhere.
About 3 seconds passed like that.
Whoa… … .
The sound stopped.
The Black Bell Wyvern’s breath lost momentum and began to disappear.
And soon, by the time all breaths were extinguished.
clap clap clap-!
Applause was heard.
“Are you cool? I will love you.”
Applause resounded behind the Black Bell Wyvern.
The protagonist of the exclamation I heard earlier.
“It’s a first meeting, right? nice to meet you. The blue mage tower master.”
An Asian with short sports hair and a stern look.
A parade of officers of the Black Mage Tower.
“I’m here to get rid of you.”
Monster Tamer.
He had a monstrous smile, just like his tinnitus.
* * *
―Today at 12:34 p.m. The American Park Inn Bellanti Hotel has been attacked by monsters.
The TV announcer was presenting the news with a serious expression.
―That is not an ordinary monster attack. It was an attack by a group of over 50 wyverns, including black bell wyverns.
Video taken at the time of the incident.
On-site video captured by surveillance cameras in the hotel, including surrounding CCTVs, was transmitted.
Various A-B class wyverns filling the sky and the S rank Black Bell Wyvern standing tall at the center.
A mighty force capable of destroying an entire small country.
The sight of such power flying around the hotel was truly overwhelming.
Even though I’m looking over the screen, I inadvertently break out in a cold sweat.
―The one who stopped the attack of these monsters was the master of the blue magic tower who was staying at the hotel at the time. It was Kangin Kim.
But there was something else that really stood out.
The vast amount of water blocking the hordes of such monsters.
The amount of water was so vast that it made me feel as if the sky had become an ocean.
―Should I say that it is the best power among 50 fingers in the world? The battle of the Blue Mage Tower was the highlight.
The sea of the sky that perfectly blocks dozens of wyvern raids.
Kim Kang-in’s arcane magic stream did not tolerate any attack.
―Thanks to the struggle of the Blue Mage Tower Master, there were zero casualties. A terrible tragedy that could have killed tens of thousands of people was averted without any loss of life.
It was as if there was a will in the water.
In addition to responding to the Wyverns moving separately, they blocked the wreckage of the damaged hotel and perfectly protected the citizens who were likely to be crushed by the wreckage.
Even so, the feet of the Black Bell Wyvern were firmly tied.
literally awesome.
It was a god skill.
―The battle of this blue mage tower was exactly 7 minutes and 23 seconds. This continued until support from the Red Mage Tower Lord arrived.
Flames swirled between the seas that filled the sky on the screen.
The blue flame, the symbol of the red mage tower.
The flames from Superheat Hell filled Kim Kang-in’s stream.
Its overwhelming firepower and size are incomparable to that of Dahlia Salentia’s Blue Flames.
It started to burn the Wyverns one by one.
―In this way, with the joining of the Red Mage Master, the incident ended without any damage.
The video ended here.
―As a citizen of the United States, I send infinite gratitude to the Blue Mage Lord who completely prevented a terrible disaster with zero deaths and to the Red Mage Lord who quickly came to help. thank you.
The announcer lowered her head with a moved expression.
and that moment.
Gyeeing-!
There was the sound of an automatic door opening.
And in it, Sua and James Peeler appeared.
I immediately turned off the news and stood up.
“How is Kangin Kim’s condition?”
Sua answered my question with a slightly relieved expression.
“… … Once the hurdle is over.”
Although not revealed in the news, Kim Kang-in was seriously injured during the Black Bell Wyvern raid today.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat the Black Bell Wyvern.
Even an S-rank 2nd tier monster cannot compete with a 8th circle mage.
If Kim Kang-in had been alone, he would have subdued it casually, whether it was a black bell wyvern or a group of wyverns.
“It’s not even your own country, but it’s too much… … . stupid guy I’ll take good care of myself… … .”
The reason Kim Kang-in was injured was because he prioritized the safety of citizens.
In order to protect the 523 guests staying in the hotel, we devoted ourselves to defense, immersed in protection, and paid attention to safety.
As a result, Kim Kang-in had no choice but to neglect his own defense, which eventually led to his injury.
“Lord of the Red Magic Tower. Thank you again. If the Lord of the Red Mage Tower hadn’t come right away… … .”
If the red mage tower arrived 10 seconds later, Kim Kang-in would have lost his life.
The situation was that serious.
“… … Thank you. I am in no position to be thanked.”
James replied, still furious. Blood gushed out from both fists clenched tightly.
He was extremely resentful of the injury of his close friend Kim Kang-in.
“Then I will go once.”
“Are you going to the meeting room?”
“okay.”
James, as well as most high-ranking officials, knew that the main culprit of today’s attack was the Black Mage Tower.
Therefore, the response meeting is currently open.
It seems that James intends to attend the meeting, albeit late.
“I will show the shameful guys who dared to challenge the 12 Magic Tower… … .”
By the way, it was not disclosed to the news that the main culprit of today’s attack was the Black Mage Tower. Not only could it not be known that a single criminal group could command such a monster.
It was not possible to publicize that the terrorist attack was carried out in the center of the city.
“Please take good care of Kangin.”
“yes. Please leave it to Master.”
Jung Soo-ah bowed her head again, and James immediately turned around.
And just when I was about to step out of the hospital.
“Lord of the Red Magic Tower. I have something to tell you.”
At my words, his steps stopped.
James turns to face me again.
“You have something to say?”
The red magic tower stared straight into my eyes. The look that I don’t like very much.
It was a natural reaction as he didn’t like my use of heat hell.
“There is no time. If it’s not important… … .”
“It is important.”
I made eye contact with him with a sincere expression.
“I have found out what the true purpose of the Black Mage Tower is.”
This raid made it clear.
“… … .”
James’ eyes narrowed.
