075
next morning.
After gathering in the lobby, we ate a simple breakfast and immediately proceeded with local adaptation training.
“As the environment has changed, I will not overtrain. Everyone, if you feel something is wrong with your body, tell me right away.”
Light physical training was conducted so that the body could adapt to the jet lag, and mana circulation was performed to adapt to the local mana concentration.
“I guess I simply solved my body and circles. For the remaining time, we will do artifact adaptation training.”
After completing these two training sessions, I immersed myself in training to master the artifacts for competitions that I was not used to handling yet.
“Then next… … .”
As we proceeded with adaptation training one after another, it was already 6:30 PM.
It’s time for dinner.
“Everyone has worked hard. It wasn’t hard at all, right?”
“It wasn’t hard~”
“Rather than being difficult, it was comfortable, hey.”
The seniors smiled with a comfortable face.
The face is very soft.
In Korea, around this time, people were dying of sweat.
“From now on, we will only do light training like this until the game starts. Starting tomorrow, I’ll even cut that in half.”
“If training is cut in half, what will you do with the remaining time?”
“What are you doing? We need to have a business meeting. You couldn’t do it in Korea because your schedule was delayed.”
“ah. That’s right.”
In the aftermath of the Baengnyeong Island incident, the operation meeting was not even held.
“In the meantime, I plan to do simulation training as well.”
“Oh oh.”
Based on the information I had envisioned, I created a simulation of the Olympiad competition.
By teaching this to everyone, we plan to eliminate mistakes as much as possible and have them understand 100% of the point of the operation.
“And from eight to half past ten is free time. Of course, anything that puts strain on the body like training is prohibited. Well, I won’t elaborate on this free time. Everyone knows how to rest, right?”
The seniors sent OK signs in their own way.
Well, in terms of managing my condition, everyone will have their thoughts, so I will do well.
“Well, I have more to announce. Everyone must be hungry, so I’ll notify you via group chat later.”
“Oh oh!”
The seniors’ eyes shone.
The hotel we stayed in had as good a meal as the facilities, so everyone was looking forward to this time.
“Then we will disband. I’ll see you at 9:00 tomorrow morning.”
“effort!”
“I’ll see you tomorrow!”
“Let’s go eat!”
Seniors rushed to the restaurant. Other things are very adult, but this side is very student-like.
“Let’s go too.”
Sunchan got up from his seat and came to me. After that, Adela followed.
“uh. let’s go.”
While trying to move to the restaurant like that.
“Shin Ha-yul.”
Soo-ah came over.
It looks like he has something to say.
“The schedule for visiting the Red Mage Tower has been set.”
“oh.”
“and.”
Adela and I exclaimed at the same time.
“Sometime?”
“The visit is tomorrow. The time is half past two in the afternoon. We’ll have to leave here at 1 o’clock, so please have lunch and prepare it as soon as possible.”
“yes. All right.”
“Others said they could come along, so I’d appreciate it if you let others know.”
As if she had said everything, Sua bowed her head and turned and walked away from us.
Even the back of him leaving is very cool.
“It’s a red magic tower… … . I’m already looking forward to it.”
“yes. me too.”
A red magic tower known for its widest and best facilities among the 12 existing magic towers.
What kind of utopia is unfolding inside?
* * *
10 p.m. that day.
Time for everyone to rest in their own rooms and work on conditioning.
I went for a walk for a while.
‘Are you taking care of this place every day?’
A garden that exists within the hotel premises.
The flower beds and trees well manicured by the gardener are in harmony.
Looking at the cross section of the cut branch, it looks like it was cut this morning. Did you care that we came and manage it? Or do you do it every day?
If you do it every day, it will be very difficult.
Far from admiring the beautiful view of the garden, I was thinking a lot of such trivial things.
I also seem to have a very bubbly personality.
With such thoughts in mind, when we arrived at the pavilion prepared in the center of the garden, we encountered an unexpected passenger.
“hello.”
Adela. She wondered if she was doing her walks before she went to bed as well as I did. She is sitting in her pavilion with only her robe on over her nightgown.
“Are you worried about anything?”
I sat down next to Adela and asked insinuatingly.
“no. Is there anything to worry about?”
Adela glanced at me, then looked up at the sky again.
The sky is full of stars.
Is it because there is no other residential area near the hotel and there is no light?
The starlight shines brightly.
“You are worried.”
Adela has a habit of taking a walk when she is worried.
There are times when something doesn’t go well and I go for a walk to change my mood.
If you are walking down a quiet street at night like today and looking up at the night sky, you are 100% worried.
“… … .”
Adela looked at me with a slightly sentimental expression.
“say it. It’s something I might be able to help with.”
An important game is less than a week away. Is it possible to use it only when Adela, the main power of our team, is immersed in trouble and cannot exert 100% of her original strength?
Even if it’s not that, as a friend, I want to listen to my friend’s concerns.
“… … It’s really no big deal.”
Adela turned her gaze back to the sky.
It’s a different expression for anyone to see.
“What? What’s wrong with magic? Or is there a senior who is a bit uncomfortable?”
“no. Nothing like that at all.”
Adela clapped her hands in denial. It certainly doesn’t seem like that.
“Or what, since Sunchan is growing rapidly, are you feeling impatient or something?”
Sunchan’s rise these days is staggering. Maybe that’s why Adela is impatient.
“… … Are you impatient? Why are you so impatient with your friend growing up?”
Adela tilted her head, as if she didn’t understand what I was saying at all.
I guess that’s not the case.
“Or else.”
It seems that the feeling of jealousy does not exist for him.
Is it because all the stats that go to jealousy go to magic?
“Then what is it?”
I’m not even worried about magic.
It’s not even about human relationships. Then what is it?
“… … Aren’t you going to laugh?”
Adela wiggled her fingers and bowed her head.
“Don’t laugh. Do I look like someone who will laugh at people’s serious concerns?”
“… … .”
Adela looked straight into my eyes. There is a strange sense of desolation and despair in the two eyes.
It definitely seems like you’re worrying about something.
“… … Then I will trust you.”
“uh. say it.”
I waited for Adela’s next words with a serious face.
“You know what? In America… … .”
Adela’s expression suddenly darkened.
“They don’t have banana milk.”
“… … what?”
I was dumbfounded for a moment.
what did i hear?
“What is missing?”
Did I hear you wrong?
“Banana milk.”
“… … .”
That’s right.
“Maybe it’s good? Without it… … .”
“Cheup.”
Adela is worried about the world with a serious expression. I laughed without even realizing it.
“Oh, you said you wouldn’t laugh!”
Adela shouted with a flushed face.
“I am serious. Without it, magic utilization decreases by 14.7%.”
“… … Oh, that’s great. okay?”
I desperately held back a laugh and replied. It was not necessarily 15%, but 14.7% was the point of laughter.
Adela’s expression grew even more pouty.
“That’s Okay. I’m going.”
Adela rose from her seat with a sullen face.
“sorry. It was such an unexpected worry that I laughed without even realizing it.”
Adela looks at me with high eyes. ‘I’m so serious, can I smile?’
“no. listen carefully. Once Adela. They sell banana milk in America too.”
“… … yes?”
Adela opened her eyes.
The extremely dilated pupils tremble.
“Do you sell?”
“uh. There is a Korean market in the US too, so if you go there, you can find pretty much everything.”
Adela was speechless with a shocked look on her face. Then, soon after, she let out a sigh of relief.
I was genuinely relieved that I could have banana milk.
“ah.”
But no relief for a while.
Adela’s expression soon turned red with anger and shame.
“Hee-yoon sister… … !”
At first glance, it seems that Jin Hee-yoon was the one who told Adela that there was no banana milk in America.
Adela chewed her lips in anger and turned away.
“… … I will go first.”
“uh. Go in.”
Adela, her ears reddened, walked away with rough steps.
He’s probably going to Senior Jin Hee-yoon’s room.
“Kuk-ku.”
I laughed again at Adela’s absurd appearance.
I laughed out loud for the first time in a while.
* * *
lunch the next day.
We arrived at the Red Magic Tower at the scheduled time.
“and… … .”
“What are you doing here?”
Upon entering the red magic tower, exclamations erupted from the mouths of the party at the same time.
“What are you doing here? Is it a spaceship?”
“This is the red magic tower… … . That’s great.”
The state-of-the-art facility is also a facility, and the interior is unrivaled.
It feels like stepping right into a sci-fi movie.
No wonder everyone admired it.
I am also very surprised.
“Then please wait a moment. I will go and fill out the visit papers and come back.”
“yes.”
Sua bowed her head and headed to the computer for filling out visitor documents.
By the way, there is no one in the lobby of the Red Mage Tower. There are only 10 computers and guidance AI robots.
I’m afraid it’s not a facility that has the highest authority on artificial intelligence sorcery as the owner of the mage tower, so everything is automated.
“It’s index. my sister was wrong I won’t play like that again.”
As I was observing the surroundings, the images of Adela and Jin Hee-yoon suddenly caught my eye.
“Look at me just once. huh? My sister was wrong.”
“Is there anything wrong with you, sir? It’s all my serious fault.”
Adela’s expression is very cold.
Not to mention, the title is not older sister, but senior. It seems that even if it is very swollen, it is swollen firmly.
“… … Why are you two like that?”
Soonchan sneaked up to me and whispered a question.
“Looks like Hee-yoon sunbaenim played a prank on Adela.”
“joke? Adela said that was just a joke?”
Sunchan tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.
“What, did you steal the banana milk?”
“hmm. He did more than that.”
“Oooh… … .”
Soonchan shuddered for a moment.
“I won’t go near the two of you today. Just get spade damage.”
Soon-chan trembled and looked away from Adela and Jin Hee-yoon.
I took one last glance at Jin Hee-yoon flirting with Adela, then completely turned my attention away.
If you get caught up in it, it hurts.
“By the way, the interior here is really crazy. It’s not state-of-the-art.”
“I heard that you are focusing on mechanization and automation of magic these days. That’s why the interior became like this.”
“That’s why you do mecha mecha like this.”
“right.”
As Soonchan said, it is very mechanical.
“But it’s funny to ask now. Can I come here at this time?”
“why?”
“No, this is the home of Dahlia Salentia.”
Dahlia Salentia.
As a 5th Circle user belonging to the US team, he has a reputation as the next Red Magic Tower owner.
In other words, this is the enemy camp if you look at it.
“How are you? We’re not going to use magic here. It’s just a tour.”
“Do it. It shouldn’t matter too much.”
Soon-chan nodded his head as if he understood immediately.
“Anyway, it turned out to be a very interesting composition.”
“what?”
“This Olympiad. In fact, it has become like a proxy war between the three magic towers.”
A green mage tower that has Kyle Ventia as its candidate for the next mage tower master.
A red mage tower that has Dalia Salentia as its candidate for the next mage tower master.
And me, who is receiving a lot of support from the Blue Mage Tower.
As Sunchan said, this Olympiad became a three-way battle between blue, green and red.
“Isn’t this a bet between the tower masters?”
“well. I don’t think Kim Kang-in would make a bet or something?”
“hmm. is it? but.”
It was then.
“All three. You already bet.”
The entrance opened loudly as if he was transforming into Iron Man.
A woman came out of it.
A red-haired woman who looked the same age as me.
“Thanks to you, I’m getting a grudge in real time. If I can’t win, they won’t let me go.”
A woman with an atmosphere that seems to be covered with passion
“Are you being too mean to your disciple? Isn’t the blue mage tower lord too mean to his disciples?”
Dahlia Salentia.
She came with a confident smile.
