Chapter 135 – University Mage Tower Petebugens
Islands, Imperial University Mage Petebugens.
Petebugens, called “Follower of truth” In ancient language, was a huge tower built by Rioveda, the first great wizard who called himself a seeker of magic.
At the time of construction, it was only about 15 stories, but thanks to successive extensions, it now boasts a grand scale of up to 48 stories.
In addition, around the Magic Tower, there is a living building with student dormitories, a welfare building for magic training and academic research, a school corps that trains magic officers with the goal of transferring to the military, and shops with various purposes with permission from the imperial family. There was Rioveda Street.
According to the theory that mana increases as one reaches the sky, the Mage Tower was located on a high plateau, and despite being difficult to access, the Mage Tower and its surroundings were prosperous every day.
The reason could be found without going far. It was because the Mage Tower itself was a huge building with landmark elements in the islands, so visiting around the Mage Tower was considered a must for island tours.
“Her her…”
As is usually the case with people who see the Magic Tower up close for the first time, when I got off the carriage and looked up at the Magic Tower, I couldn’t help but admire it.
It was a magnificent sight to see such a large building that you could not see the end even if you lifted your head up.
Moreover, the mage tower itself was accompanied by the role of a light source, so it illuminated the surroundings brightly despite the dark night.
‘It’s not for nothing that the emperor called the Mage Tower a jewel that symbolizes the system.’
When I was young and visited the island with my father, I didn’t know much about it because I only watched it from a distance, but seeing it up close, I realized how amazing the Mage Tower is.
‘By the way…… How do I get into the Mage Tower that has no entrance?’
No, to be precise, there was an entrance. The problem is that it is located in a space about 3m from the ground.
Watching how other people entered, witches came and went on broomsticks, and wizards used floating magic to come and go in the mage tower.
‘It’s floating magic…….’
It’s a magic that any highly educated wizard can basically use, but it was too much for me.
I was able to use life magic, but I had never learned other magic or received professional training.
I read a lot of books, so I’m theoretically knowledgeable, but magic isn’t just about theory.
Basically, in order to manifest magic, the user’s intuition and talent, mana volume and theory must be balanced.
In that respect, my intuition, talent, and mana volume were far from being the vessel of a wizard, so I was unable to properly use even the lower concept of mental movement, let alone floating magic.
‘I don’t want to be humiliated by not being able to enter…….’
I looked around with my insides burning, and found people walking in the air without difficulty. I wondered if I was walking through the air, but looking at my feet, it wasn’t like that.
‘Flagstone?’
A flagstone floating in the air was connected from the ground to the entrance of the floating castle.
It probably looked like a flagstone made by carving floating stones, but it was clear that it was prepared for those who could not use floating magic.
As expected, the preparation of the Mage Tower at the Imperial University is different. The moment I found a way out and started walking towards it, someone grabbed my arm sleeve.
Looking back, it was sure to be an elf. His dissatisfaction his with me had subsided a bit, his complexion his had returned to normal, but his expression his was still displeased.
“…… Why?”
The elf let out a low sigh at my question.
“You were invited as a special guest lecturer, right?”
“Right.”
“What would people think if someone who is expected externally by the president does not use floating magic and enters the mage tower using a flagstone?”
“Doubts will increase. But it is unavoidable. Because I can’t use floating magic.”
“Don’t let go.”
Suddenly, before I could ask what I was talking about, the elf grabbed my hand and pulled it.
In the next moment, her whole body she became as light as a feather, and her vision her suddenly flickered.

“No, how many times can I tell you?”
In the hall of the Mage Tower, crowded with countless wizards and witches belonging to the Mage Tower, Alina, a staff member at the information desk, let out a low sigh.
It was because the merchant, who wore precious metals all over her body her, was angry about why she did n’t return her son’s entrance fee.
It’s been a complaint several times already, but I’m not used to it. Alina pressed her chin between her brows as she pulled out her relevant papers.
“As you can see here, your son has already completed the 3-month course at the Mage Tower, so you are returning the amount after deducting it?”
“Look! Doesn’t it make sense! My son said he didn’t learn anything at the Mage Tower, so why are you taking my money from the Mage Tower that didn’t teach you anything!”
It’s not that I didn’t learn anything, it’s that I didn’t have the brain to learn. Alina squeezed the truth that rose to the roof of her mouth, then she struggled to smile.
“I am sorry about your son’s situation, but there is no problem with the Magic Tower’s student management guidelines. As you said earlier, even if you search for admissions related internal affairs, there is no case where the full amount of the admission fee was refunded beyond the completion of the 3-month course.”
“What? So are you saying you won’t return the admission fee?”
“Unfortunately, a full refund is unlikely. These are also the President’s instructions-“
“This bitch!”
A vulgar roar erupts from the merchant’s mouth. She could tell by the veins jutting out on her forehead that he was quite upset.
“How dare you talk back to me? You don’t really know that I’m leading the Favila Merchant!? If I put my mind to it, I can turn the Magic Tower upside down!”
A sigh comes out at the insignificant threat. How could a merchant’s guild overthrow the mage tower that nurtures the elite manpower of the empire?
I wasn’t the only one who was annoyed, but I didn’t want to cause trouble and make the incident bigger. It was only when Alina opened her lips that she smiled again in her patience.
Paaang—!
As the shockwave passes through the area, a gust of wind rages. Alas! Surprised, Alina looked back at the point where the shockwave had occurred, holding the documents about to fly away in her arms.
Because the shock wave was so strong, not only Alina, but also the merchants who had just been furious and the wizards and witches wandering around the halls of the Mage Tower were naturally focused.
Standing tall where all their gazes converge is none other than Theorad Deharm and his maid.
The old-fashioned yet neat outfit and calmly laid down black hair clearly showed that he was the head of an aristocratic family.
At the moment when the gust of wind subsided, sharply opened light brown eyes quietly scanned the surroundings. Theorard’s expression was extremely bloody, but he was shaking inside.
‘I’ll turn….’
I never dreamed that an elf would use space movement magic. When he closed his eyes and opened them, it was not enough to be located in the Hall of the Magic Tower, so he was attracting attention from all directions.
‘Could this be the elf’s revenge?’
Could it be that the elf, enraged at the late return to the carriage, was playing a malicious prank?
As Theo Rad looked down at the elf in that thought, the elf gently turned around and lifted his tiptoe and whispered in Theo Rad’s ear his.
“Don’t answer, just listen. From now on, throughout your activities in the Mage Tower, master always maintain an arrogant attitude. Then I’ll take care of it and dispel the president’s suspicions.”
Are you being arrogant when being humble isn’t enough? It was an incomprehensible request, but since they had reached the Mage Tower, they could not refuse the elf’s request.
Moreover, since I have already done arrogant acting several times, there is nothing difficult about it. With a small nod, Theorard called out the ‘cold-blooded psychopath master’ in his mind and then moved toward the information table.
‘Uh? Ah.’
As she watched it from afar, Alina could only swallow her saliva.
Space movement magic, which is used by individuals, is a very difficult magic not only in the witch society but also in the wizard society.
Gravity magic itself is also difficult to use, but to use space movement magic, it is difficult to use it easily even for flying and crawling wizards because it requires magical skill to instantly twist the mass of space without stopping using gravity magic. .
Therefore, although the magic is ranked as a medium rank, it was space movement magic that wise wizards treated as high rank magic.
However, the man in front of him didn’t blink an eye and used space movement magic. He didn’t even move alone, with a maid at his side.
‘Who, who are you…… ?’
Anyone who handles magic this well would have seen it at least once, but no matter how much I tried to remember, I couldn’t figure it out. In short, it was the first face I had ever seen in my life in the Mage Tower.
“What are you doing?”
Theo Rad, who had come close before he knew it, looked down coldly at his merchant blocking his way.
His physique could not be said to be good, but the sense of intimidation given by his tall stature and cold eyes was no joke. Besides, he just showed the magic of moving space, so the fear is multiplied.
As the breathless merchant couldn’t decide what to say, Theorard frowned blatantly.
“Go away.”
“Ah, I see.”
The merchant bowed his head and ran away to the other side of his hall. It was servile enough to make me wonder if he was the one who had been furious to return the entire entrance fee.
It was Alina who had a good heart, but he couldn’t like it all. Because it was your turn next.
Another angle-
The sound of Theorard’s shoes resonates quietly in the Hall of the Mage Tower. Alina, who had calmed herself down, cleared her throat and lifted her head.
“Oh, welcome. What business did you come to the Mage Tower for?”
Silence for a while. Theo Rad, who had been looking down at her Alina for a while, opened her mouth as if it were not the same.
“Theorad Deharm.”
“What, yes?”
“My name is Theorad Deham.”
The low pitched voice scared Alina. It was as if she was threatening to kill her if she didn’t understand.
In her horror her, Alina, who was repeating her words her, Theorad Deharm, in her head her, suddenly ah! She exclaimed and let out her exclamation of her. She left because the president had told her beforehand.
“Ah, you’re the one who perfected the rain magic, right? Did the president invite you as a special guest lecturer?”
“You find out quickly.”
“I’m sorry. There is no information you gave me other than your name……. Anyway, I will guide you right away.”
Ahehelaughed, Alina held out her hands towards Theo Rad. What do you want? Theo Rad, whose brain had stopped, hesitated, then took a silver coin from her bosom and placed it in Alina’s hand her.
Thanks to her, she was Alina, more embarrassed than Theo Rad.
“Hey, there……. I’m not asking for money, but I have to return the wand to the hall and go upstairs to meet the president.”
“Ah. Is it. Then just go.”
“Yes? As I just said, you must return the wand…….”
“I don’t have a wand.”
Silence descends in the hall. It was because everyone, including Alina, couldn’t understand Theorard’s words.
‘No wand?’
If so, does that mean that he accomplished the space-travel magic with his bare hands without a wand? As Alina blankly blinked her eyes, Theorard murmured quietly.
“Is there a problem?”
No, there was no problem. Alina, who took a deep breath, hurriedly stood up and shouted.
“There is not! Go, let’s go! I will guide you myself!”
It seemed clear to her that a ridiculous mogul had come. Alina couldn’t help but resent why such a ignorant person would come to her when she was on duty.
