Episode 33. Starting a Business
Yeerika devoted herself to practicing magic every day.
Grandfather’s magic was so great that it was difficult to understand it all at once.
However, after practicing repeatedly, I was able to quickly understand the secret and acquire it.
“The lightening magic has become stronger than before. But won’t this cause problems for business?”
Yeerika knew that Ethan’s goals were not simply business.
His goal wasn’t to be the head of this business either.
In many ways, business is a stepping stone to other goals.
If so, this business should be able to continue with other magicians as well.
“Other wizards won’t be able to lighten their weight like I can.”
“But, can other wizards do the same lightweighting as before?”
“Yes, it’s not that difficult. But I don’t know if other wizards will try it.”
Wizards are noble beings.
Wizards who have reached a certain level or higher try various things to increase their magical abilities.
“For wizards, business is just making potions. They don’t even consider things like lightening magic.”
Lightening magic isn’t that hard. The magic itself is very easy. It’s just difficult to use lightening magic in a balanced way.
That’s why wizards looked down on this lightweight magic. Mastering easy magic doesn’t help you learn high-level magic.
“Yes. But that’s a story about noble wizards. That’s not the kind of wizards we’re after.”
“yes?”
“In fact, both magicians and swordsmen have something in common.”
Yereka thought for a moment, then opened her eyes wide and looked at Ethan.
“I see… … I see?”
“Yeah, recognition. Everyone wants to be recognized. Everyone does.”
In fact, it was something that could be applied even to non-magicians or swordsmen.
“But where are you going to bring that unrecognized wizard from? Being unrecognized means you have no skills, and at that level, you wouldn’t even be able to use lightweight magic properly.”
Although the lightweight magic seemed easy, it was a magic that required some level of control.
It wasn’t something that could be easily done by wizards without skills.
“Guests, you are very sensitive. Even mercenaries and knights can sense the slightest imbalance.”
Although it was a short time, Yeerika received a lot of feedback from knights and mercenaries while using lightweight magic.
The feedback inspired Yeerika, making her even more absorbed in magic.
“If you don’t get that balance right, they’ll come once but never twice.”
Therefore, Ethan’s words were virtually impossible to realize.
“I know everything.”
But Ethan already knew all about Yerika’s worries.
‘We’ve all experienced it.’
I know from experience that a half-assed wizard can’t properly use lightweight magic.
“I’m going to the rooftop.”
“The Magic Tower? Isn’t that the paradise of noble magicians? In the first place, they wouldn’t want to participate in a business centered around lightweight magic? Ah!”
As she spoke, she immediately understood Ethan’s meaning.
“Yes, the failures of the Magic Tower. We bring in wizards who have proven their skills but have unique tastes and have never been recognized in their entire lives.”
* * *
Luanduiji Tower.
This magic tower is home to magicians who mainly deal with the realm of fire, and it boasts the largest scale among the magic towers located on the outskirts of the continent.
Phew-!
“Failed again, Maracana!”
“This time, there was no reason for it to fail… … .”
“Why do you keep doing things that don’t work? That’s why you can’t escape from the 3rd tier. Look at the kids in the 1st tier. I don’t know if you can call them magicians, but they’re just like you. They always fail. You’re good at something, right? Just continue your normal research on fire magic.”
“… … .”
“If you don’t, I can’t cover you anymore. There is a limit.”
Maracana lowered his head.
The wizard in front of me was a friend who had entered the magic tower with me.
“You understand? Study fire magic. You are more skilled than me. Of course, you are a little behind in skill now, but you will catch up soon.”
When I first set foot on the rooftop, I was passionate about it.
I vowed to myself that I would study the magic I wanted to study and become the best magician.
But Maracán was having a day full of failures.
I was constantly being told I was useless and pathetic, so my self-esteem and self-respect were lowered.
The blow was even greater when I heard this even from my friends.
He was at the lowest level in the magic tower, 1st level, while his friend was at the 3rd level.
When I actually entered the tower, the evaluations were completely opposite.
After his friend left the lab, Maracán banged his fist on the desk.
“Damn, I think it’ll work. I mean, I think it’ll work. If you just do a little more. If you just do a little more… … .”
What he was studying was the granting of fire-related attributes.
Of course, it wasn’t a typical attribute assignment.
“A blazing fire effect. This effect grants a permanent effect.”
Granting the attribute was simple, but it was extremely difficult to continuously create the fiery burning effect that resulted from granting the attribute.
“There will definitely be demand. It’s not just the attributes that are contained in the sword that are important. Style is also important. Who would wear gear that isn’t stylish?”
Maracán has been working hard to stick to his beliefs.
“after.”
But that belief was now starting to crack.
If you don’t stop, you’ll be kicked out of the tower.
While he was so troubled.
“Marakan! Is there a guest looking for you?”
The friend who just went out came back with his group.
One was a very handsome young man with dreamy eyes, and the other was a beautiful woman who looked like a magician at first glance.
“Who are you? Who are you to me?”
Marakhan asked the two people he was meeting for the first time.
“My name is Ethan Wickers. I am the eldest son of the Wickers family. And this is my personal escort wizard, Yeerika.”
“hello.”
“Let me get straight to the point. Marakhan, I would like to hire you as a wizard for our county.”
“Yes, yes?”
Maracana was momentarily taken aback.
Marakan’s friend who came in with him also looked bewildered and bewildered.
“Ethan Wickers, if you came to the Tower of Wickers to hire a wizard, you are making a very bad choice. This guy is a first-tier wizard. If it’s the Wickers County, shouldn’t you have a wizard of at least a third-tier wizard?”
“That’s right. I’m a first-tier wizard and I haven’t learned any proper magic. This guy is a third-tier wizard, so I’d rather have him… … .”
“no.”
Ethan said bluntly. Then he looked Marakhan in the eye.
“I need you, Maracana.”
“Why, why me?”
Have you ever heard the phrase, “I need you”?
Maracán’s heart beat faster. Perhaps his face turned bright red.
Sure enough, my ears turned red. It was so hot.
“What do you want from me?”
At the same time, I was a little angry.
Do you even know what you’re doing?
Even though he is a first-tier wizard, he is still a wizard belonging to the Magic Tower.
“I’m going to start a business. I need your magic for that business.”
“My magic? My magic is… … .”
Then Maracán’s friend interrupted.
“I’m really dumbfounded. Even though my friend is a sloppy wizard, he’s a business man? There’s pride in wizards. Wizards don’t chase money, they chase their beliefs. Sacrificing one’s body for magic… … .”
“Uren.”
Maracan cut off his friend.
“Please move out of my way.”
Uren’s face turned pale at Marakhan’s firm words.
“Do as you wish. I finally took your side.”
Uren grumbled and left, and Marakhan bowed his head.
He was excited.
Has anything like this ever happened before?
There was no one to tell him that he was needed.
“Do you know what my magic is?”
“I know. You’re studying fire magic. You’re studying attribute granting, not regular attack magic, right?”
At those words, Yereka looked at Ethan with surprised eyes.
I thought they just barged in, but it seems like they’d already finished investigating the information.
“You came to me knowing everything. Then why on earth do you need my magic?”
“As I said before, I came here because I was interested in magic. I would like to do business with you, Marakhan.”
“Am I, a shabby wizard, allowed to talk business?”
As the excitement wore off and my head cooled, I suddenly began to suspect that I was being played. Even though he said he needed my magic, I couldn’t believe it at face value.
And what about business?
For wizards, magic wasn’t something they used for business.
“Jerika.”
“yes.”
Yereka snapped her fingers.
Then, in an instant, flames began to spread around. A wall of flames was created.
“Wow, Fire Wall with no windows?”
A wizard of the third rank or higher. No, he was clearly a high-ranking wizard.
“Our wizard you see here is the center of our business. You can probably guess what it means to have this many wizards working together in business.”
“I am a great wizard.”
Yeerika said with a smile. The more Ethan got to know Yeerika, the more he realized that she was more shameless than he had thought.
And I quite liked that.
“What kind of business are you trying to do?”
“If you would like to hear an explanation, please sign here.”
After hearing the story up to this point, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of business he was going to do.

Marakhan was a rather unique wizard.
‘There were a lot of people looking for Maracan. He was an NPC with great attributes.’
It was different from the typical attribute-granting NPC. The magic he granted didn’t actually have much effect.
‘It just makes your appearance look cool. But that alone has attracted many people.’
A fiery aura.
That was the fire attribute buff he gave.
It does not increase fire resistance or grant you the power of fire magic.
The equipment simply has a burning aura.
But people cheered for his magic.
In short, Maracana was like a lottery ticket with a guaranteed win.
“Welcome, Maracana.”
Ethan smiled and held out his hand, taking the parchment he had signed.
Marakhan took Ethan’s hand and felt something ominous in Ethan’s smile.
