Genius Warlock-Episode 603
603. It's changing (4)
Burke Post, the head of the Magic Tower administration, was called the head of the administration, not the chancellor..
The reason is that the huge organization called the Magic Tower is run by several Grand Masters, not a single president, and this was due to the background of the creation of the Magic Tower as a union..
A union that became independent from branches of traditional schools and came together as one.
Therefore, the administration, which coordinates each school and is responsible for the administration of the entire Magic Tower, had no choice but to fall short compared to the schools that make up the Magic Tower..
The school is the foundation of the Magic Tower, but the administration was only there to support it..
However, some things change over time. The size and status of the Magic Tower administration were still relatively low, but that did not mean that its actual authority was weak..
Even though it is an assistant, the administration is in charge of the entire work of the Magic Tower and is responsible for coordinating cooperation and hostility between each school, and its authority and influence have grown considerably to date..
It's similar to the idea that the more work you do, the more power you have to speak out. As evidence, the administration gained the right to execute a significant portion of the Magic Tower's budget, and was able to shape public opinion even though it could not lead the work..
And in rare cases, he had the authority to create a new school within the Magic Tower..
The Moirai School, which deals with the World Tree, was a representative example of this authority, which was naturally acquired due to its nature as an independent department not affiliated with any school..
Burke Post, who currently holds the position of Executive Director, was quite proud of this work..
By launching the Moirai School, which specializes in world trees. The status of the Magic Tower has increased further, and at the same time, it has shown everyone that the administration also has considerable power..
It could be said to be a divine move that killed two birds at the same time..
I'm sure it was, but Burke Post is now making a fool of himself..
“to?”
A foolish comment that is not suitable for the middle-aged age group. Burke, who was so concerned about his appearance, looked at the young man in front of him, forgetting the sound he had made..
“What did you say just now??”
“I would like to establish a school in the Magic Tower that teaches black magic. I would like to hear the opinion of the administrative head..”
The young man in front of me. No, the young man called Zenon Bright, who is Dave Wright, the solver of Area T, and an employee of Magic Tower, spoke clearly..
As if Burke hadn't heard properly. Burke let out a laugh without realizing it..
“her! Are you seriously asking this??”
“yes.”
Oliver nodded. As rumored, he was crazy..
“Why are you asking me that??”
“I understand that in order to establish a new school, approval from the administration is needed. The person who gives the final approval of the administration is the head of the administration, Executive Director Burke Post. So I asked.”
Burke didn't know how to react to this extremely absurd and crazy answer. It didn't look like he was joking..
“I think I'm misunderstanding something, but in order to establish a new school, you need the consent of the Grand Master within the Magic Tower..”
“I know. But we know that it is the executive branch that can give final approval, and we also know that the executive branch can shape public opinion..”
Burke's eyes changed slightly as he looked at Oliver..
“I know it well.”
“I've read a book about the magic tower's rules and authority..”
“Looks like I didn't have much to do..”
“I read it because I thought I would need it when working as a private employee of a professor. It's a precious opportunity. And it's definitely helping. So can I ask your opinion??”
“what?”
“I'm planning to establish a school in the Magic Tower that teaches black magic. What do you think, administrative director?.”
Even though Burke changed his words several times, Oliver shamelessly asked again. Burke, who sensed that he couldn't let it out in moderation, deliberately raised his voice..
“Are you seriously asking this??”
“yes,”
“I heard you're crazy, but it's more than you think..”
“Is that so?”
“It seems like you don't know something, so I'll tell you. The Magic Tower administration is an organization that promotes the safety and interests of the entire Magic Tower. Because it is a relatively low-level organization, it is treated as an idle job by ambitious people, but I am very proud of this position. The achievements of the Magic Tower may belong to the school, but it is the administration that takes the lead in achieving prosperity..”
“I hear you and I agree..”
“But why did you bring me such a ridiculous story? Are you asking me to establish black magic as a school of magic tower? ······Even though I was just an employee, I met him as an archive student, but I think it was a mistake. I'll just overlook this mistake so you can go out..”
Burke answered based on what he had heard about Zeno's behavior and Dave's reputation..
He was mentioned in many noisy incidents and was said to be belligerent or a new finger, but overall, he was a complacent person who pursued dialogue rather than force and did not take advantage of advantageous situations..
In other words, it's a story about a saenim who doesn't act messy..
So Burke tried to make himself withdraw by revealing his unpleasant feelings without hesitation. I'm not the type to get messy and hang around, so I think it will go away like this. However, an unexpected reaction came back..
“Sorry, but can I make a few corrections??”
“what?”
“There's something I heard that was wrong. First of all, the reason the head of administration met me was not because he was your disciple. There may be some, but it's because I was someone who had been active in the Magic Tower several times before. You agree..”
Before Burke could answer, Oliver read Burke's emotions and got the answer on his own..
For a moment, Burke felt a shiver run down his spine. Even though he was in an administrative position, Berk was also a wizard of a considerable level, enough to be placed in a high-ranking position in the Magic Tower. However, he just saw through his feelings..
“I helped Professor Kevin and Lieutenant General Philip to rescue students from the Lake Village Incident caused by Theodore, and I also helped Professor Kevin and Mr. Yarely to fight against the forces of the Human Meat Chef in Gallos for the Magic Tower. We have also secured Eve from a place outside of Landa, and have also published a paper that might be of interest to wizards in the Tower of Magic..”
There were many other things that happened, but Oliver didn't talk about them. Since Burke couldn't deny it, this was enough..
“So, I think that the reason I met the head of administration now is not just because of the old man's halo. I think I deserve to at least have my question answered..”
Silence filled the space, and after a moment, Burke spoke..
“······Do you think that asking for black magic to become a school in the Tower of Magic is a question that is common sense enough for me to answer??”
“I'm not asking you to treat me like this. I just want to know the administrative director's opinion on what it would be like if it could be built. Do you think it is possible??”
“Most wizards would disagree..”
“I mean, some people might agree. Well, there were wizards who studied black magic, although they were a small minority..”
“Do you think it's reasonable to include a science that uses people as materials in the Magic Tower??”
“Doesn’t magic also use people as ingredients??”
Burke spoke sharply under pressure, but Oliver did not give up and just responded. Burke couldn't say anything..
It is an open secret that everyone in the know knows that human experiments are conducted on humans at the Magic Tower. Although there are voices of self-reflection from some, it cannot be denied that this is an ongoing process..
Of course, the leaders of the Magic Tower knew this, so they were always prepared to retort, but strangely enough, as they looked at the young man in front of them, their mouths did not drop easily..
It wasn't just because he was Archive's disciple, or because he was a warlock whose stock price was rising to the point where he was recently called the Finger..
Because I already knew that no matter how powerful he was, he could not threaten me here due to our mutual positions, positions, and social commitments..
Still, Burke couldn't open his mouth. It was because of the feeling. I feel like I shouldn't remain ignorant or make excuses like I do with ordinary people. Although there was no evidence, he warned that it would be a headache if he responded that way based on his experience as head of the administration..
Burke changed his sitting position from one facing a petitioner to one facing a business partner. and opened his mouth.
“Okay, enough with the puns, let’s get to the point..”
Oliver nodded..
“Instead of talking about good and evil or right and wrong, let's have more realistic and productive conversations. Do you really think it would be possible to establish a school of black magic in the Magic Tower??”
Of course it was impossible. Although it was controlled, unlike magic, which had been recognized in society for a long time, black magic was simply illegal. The law was like that, and social awareness was like that..
“What if it were possible? If conditions are created for black magic to be used in society, and if it helps the Magic Tower, will the head of administration allow it? From the standpoint of promoting the interests of the Magic Tower..”
Oliver approached based on Burke's logic. Those words tightened his grip on Burke like a snake's tongue, but he also spent his entire life honing his magic and working for the Magic Tower. I ignored the pressure that was pressing on me and fell into deep thought..
“······There's no problem, there's nothing you can't do if it's beneficial to the Magic Tower..”
“Sorry, but the answer seems vague.?”
“If I sit here, I can't help but give vague answers. It's a position where you have to take a lot of responsibility. Even if it's not manly, that's the responsible answer..”
“Well, I understand.”
Oliver nodded as if he had learned something..
Burke asked without missing the timing..
“But why am I suddenly interested in the Magic Tower? Were you interested in that??”
“You can receive tax benefits.”
Burke tilted his head at the answer without hesitation, but Oliver was sincere..
The reason Oliver wanted to establish a school in the Magic Tower was none other than tax benefits..
One of Landa's core industries was magic and related industries, and naturally, Landa was providing significant tax benefits to high-income magic towers and their affiliated organizations in order to further foster the magic industry. Oliver tried to establish a school in the Magic Tower to enjoy its benefits..
“Just because of that?”
Burke muttered as if asking if he was serious. Of course, in Landa, a city of capital, tax benefits were an advantage that could never be ignored, but it could not be denied that it was a poor reason for the solver representing Landa to join the Magic Tower..
I thought there was some lofty goal, like power or strength, but I couldn't figure it out..
“If you save money on taxes, you can do other things with it. Besides that, I personally think it's good for black magic to come out in the sun..”
“To the warlock?”
“For people other than warlocks, if you just push them into the shadows, it will only become more dangerous, which is also dangerous for other people. Wouldn't it be safer on the whole to incorporate safety measures and incorporate Yangji?.”
“I know what you mean, but you're making a serious error. It's nonsense to say that you want to join the Magic Tower to bring out black magic in the sun. In order to be incorporated into the Magic Tower, black magic must first emerge. And that can't be done in the magic tower..”
“I know.”
“And yet you ask that? Really unproductive conversation..”
“No, it's not counterproductive. I just confirmed through a conversation with Administrative Director Burke that black magic can be incorporated into the Magic Tower as long as it does not cause problems and provides clear benefits..”
Oliver said, confirming his sincerity through his conversation and emotions with Burke. Burke noticed that too..
This is not just a ridiculous assumption; it is a realistically possible story. Just as I was about to ask what it was, Oliver stood up..
“Thank you for your valuable time. Chief of Administration Burke. See you next time.”
“Are you planning to come again next time??”
“yes. I will come back with a more realistic and productive topic..”
Oliver answered and left the office, and a few days later, news came from Randa's back..
There was news that Dave, one of Randa's representative solvers, was defeating the remnants of the human meat chef and the warlock who was targeting the vacant position of the human meat chef in Gallos..
And after the rumor spread, discussions about the creation of the Bright School, comprised of warlocks, gradually arose in the Mage Tower..
