Genius Warlock-Episode 606
606. red book (2)
Magic Tower Administration.
As the name suggests, Magic Tower was a place responsible for the administration of a huge organization..
It was the first independent department in the Magic Tower that did not belong to any school, and its role was to assist each school to focus on its own work..
It is in charge of the vague and detailed administration of the territory, represents the position of the Magic Tower in peacetime, and connects closed schools so that they do not become isolated or hostile to each other. The administration took on many tasks..
However, to get rid of the detailed explanations and point out the main point, the administration could be said to be the butler of the Magic Tower, or to put it more profanely, the underlings..
The administration also failed to deny this. Because it was true. So the magicians assigned to the administration were ambiguous in many ways..
It doesn't mean you don't have skills. Considering the role of the executive branch, it could never appoint an incompetent person..
It simply meant people who had excellent skills, but were not unique, and did not have an outstanding background..
107 to 8 points out of a possible score. Those who have substitutes.
Therefore, the Magic Tower administration was in an awkward position to lead anything even though its authority had expanded compared to the beginning..
For example, although they have the right to call the leadership of each school in emergency situations, the number of times they actually use it is so small that you can count it on one hand..
However, to put it the other way, it meant that when the executive branch exercises its authority, each school of thought also follows suit. Because it was not a normal situation..
That was the reason why executives from influential schools in the Magic Tower visited the administrative tower at the odd hour of 4 p.m..
Those who first came were the original masters of the Elemental School. Original master of Agni, Skadi, Gaia, Enlil, and Mjolnir schools..
Although the status of the Elemental School was not as high as in the past, it was the largest in scale and had the deepest history, so it was an indispensable entity when discussing influence within the Tower of Magic..
Those who visited the second time were from the pure magical school..
Although it was not comparable to the Elemental School, the Pure Magic School was also a school with a long history and had considerable prestige. Above all, it is ruled by the Lore family, which is the backbone of the kingdom's army, so it cannot be left out when discussing important matters in the Magic Tower..
The third to arrive was the Moirai School..
Those who specialized in world trees were small in scale and had a short history, but they were entities that could not be ignored in that they dealt with the most demanding discipline of the times. This was even more so considering the recently acquired existence of Eve..
Lastly, the space school attended..
The Spatial School, like the Moirai School, was also a school that emerged rapidly, and boasted considerable influence within the Magic Tower due to its potential alone..
Originally, the Life School should have been here as well, but they could not attend because they had not yet escaped the karma of Lake Village..
‘I guess that's why the main wizards left..’
The conference room of the Magic Tower’s administrative tower. Executive Director Burke Post thought.
Now that he has reached the age where he is looking beyond the misfortune and toward the destiny of heaven, he once again realized the obvious truth that life really does not know what it will be like..
It's been a while, but it seemed like we discussed the treatment of Dave Wright, or rather, Zenon Bright, here in the not-so-long past, but now we had to discuss a completely different topic..
“······greatness. I don't think anyone else is coming, so why don't we start talking now??”
One One Master broke the silence. Then another One Master joined in..
“Yes, Dave... What do you want to discuss about Zeno??”
Those who came to Burke's call showed curiosity one by one. It was because they gave a hint about the topic called (Xenon Bright), but did not give detailed information..
However, this was not intended to tease out of curiosity. It was to prevent confusion..
“He wants to found a school of black magic..”
“I beg your pardon?!”
Right away, like this.
“Are you serious right now??”
“Are you going to establish a school??”
“Don't you know what that means??”
“Is that really why you called us??”
Except for a very few people, everyone reacted similarly. The reaction that it is impossible and that it should be impossible..
It was a completely understandable reaction. Because it was not common to establish a real school rather than a pseudo-school on the street..
It was completely different from a superman setting up a mercenary group or a businessman setting up a factory. Rather, it was closer to establishing a nation..
It was not something that could be done simply by having money and power, but was a more delicate and high-level task that required recognition from existing forces around people with legitimacy..
So, even throughout the long history of magical society, it was rare for a new school to appear..
This was not a human problem. It was a question of the times..
It was very difficult for a new school to emerge unless it was in ancient times when magic was not clearly established, or in the present when times had rapidly developed. So there were cases where a new school did not appear even after several centuries..
The problem didn't end there.
“This is the first time I have heard of an individual establishing a school..”
Even if we rode the trend of the times, there was no case where a school suddenly appeared based on the will of one individual..
In most schools, wizards who discovered new studies gather to form a group, then set a specific direction for the study and select leaders. It was done gradually, step by step..
It is the same principle as preparing the ground to build a building, laying the foundation, and erecting pillars on top of it..
No matter how powerful or renowned, the establishment of a school by the will of a single individual is unprecedented, except for a very small number of legends..
A representative example is that even the archmage Archive has never established a school. At best, like Merlin, they only merged or divided several schools..
But a warlock said he was going to establish a school, and the head of the administration was talking about it..
Naturally, the reactions of the executives of each school who responded to the call had to be extremely common sense and standard..
“That's ridiculous..”
“It's not worth discussing.”
“Seriously, this is not why I called you.?”
The Elemental School, which has the longest history, drew a line at it as nonsense, and the Space School, currently one of the most popular schools, expressed displeasure. It was no different from other schools.
The quiet ones were the original master of the Lore family of the Pure Magic School and the original master of the Moirai School, Albert Hunt..
‘The head of the Lore family is close to Zeno, and the Moirai School also has a connection to Zeno..’
Burke repeated to himself the information he had obtained through the administration's intelligence power. Zenon has already single-handedly planted influence within the Magic Tower..
“Is it possible that the head of administration is taking this seriously??”
One of the wizards who had been complaining for a while spoke to Berk, who had been silent. It was more of an interrogation than a question, so I didn't like him..
“I too think this is nonsense. This is something that cannot be discussed with common sense..”
ha······. sigh of relief.
“But if it's already happened, there's no reason not to discuss it..”
“what does that mean?”
A wizard's eyes widened..
“literally.”
Burke responded to the arrogant look in his eyes by throwing away his respect..
“Isn’t the reason why everyone responded to the summons because of Zeno??”
“The reason we responded to the summons was simply in accordance with the authority of the executive branch..”
“The reason I attended on time was probably because of Zeno..”
said Berk, looking at his watch, and the wizards could not deny it..
They pretended not to, but Zeno was the reason they faithfully responded to the summons from an administration that was one step behind them..
Outside the Magic Tower, he is an unidentified man who plays an active role as a problem solver named Dave, and within the Magic Tower, he plays an active role in big and small events under the name Zenon. However, the biggest reason among them is-
“-He is Archive Merlin's disciple..”
someone countered.
“What does it matter? Like Kevin, he is also a test subject. Above all, isn't the Archive not interested in the Magic Tower or worldly affairs? Another disciple, Kevin, doesn't say a word even though he is treated unreasonably at the Magic Tower..”
“It was said that Kevin can control spirits of all attributes recently..”
flinch.
“It may have been thanks to seeing the characteristics of the red people, but it may also have been thanks to the archive's observation. And do you really think the archive didn't look after Kevin? If you hadn't seen it at all, Kevin wouldn't have been able to enter the Magic Tower or survive..”
“······Isn’t there a world of difference between that and establishing a school??”
“I agree. Establishing a school, even archives, is not an easy task. To be honest, it's closer to not doing it than to saying it's not easy..”
“yes what is that······?”
“My point is that if the environment is right, we might be able to help..”
“what does that mean?”
“The news is dark for everyone. Didn't you hear the rumor about Gallos??”
“Are you talking about Zenon eradicating the warlocks who are the bane of Gallos??”
“To be exact, we are helping the Paladins eliminate the warlocks. The important keyword here is not eradicating warlocks, but paladins..”
“why is that?”
“It is said that the Cardinal Priest who commands the Holy Knights made a suggestion to the church. Let's recognize some trustworthy warlocks under the name of the church and give them control over them. You catch a mouse with a mouse..”
“is that true?”
“Are you really going to say something white here? For your information, it is customary for the cardinal priest's suggestions to be accepted positively. Because it is such a high position. That means there is a high possibility that Zeno will be recognized by the Paterism. I don’t have to explain why?”
The positive answer was silence. The wizard of the Magic Tower may seem hard-headed at times due to his unique pride, but he is not really stupid..
Wizards also knew how to read the times and kept their ears open to news of the world..
So I knew that Zenon was redeveloping Area.
Maybe that was why he was trying to keep Zeno in check even more. I couldn't even imagine how he would go on a rampage in the Magic Tower if he were to be freed from the shackles of discrimination against someone with so much skill and talent..
“Would we be able to ignore him if he suggested that he would re-establish the school with the recognition of the Paterism??”
“Of course you can ignore it, isn't it a warlock? Are you going to claim that black magic is also magic??”
“That's quite possible too. Of course, we could just ignore it, but what if Merlin intervenes? Do you think we can just ignore Merlin's intervention? I'm sure everyone has heard what kind of person Merlin is.?”
Silence returned again. This is the current Merlin. He was the kind of old man you'd see anywhere, but the slightly older wizard knew that wasn't what he looked like..
In his youth, Merlin was even more of a eugenics believer than Theodore, not to mention warlike..
When it seemed like the Elemental School was going to decline, he summoned the Grand Masters of each school at the time and challenged them to a battle. He was a crazy conqueror who used force to unite them into the current Elemental School..
Naturally, the wizards whose ranks fell one level at a time were dissatisfied, but none of them showed it outwardly. That was Merlin, and that was why everyone was wary of him..
Before it was an archive, I was afraid of Merlin as a person. Because you never know when a crazy person will become a crazy person again..
When informed of the cruel reality, the representative wizards of each school sighed..
“Haha, what's the point??”
“Instead of saying no, go back and discuss it seriously. Even if you try to object, you come up with a plausible logic. If that doesn't work, at least there's a way to keep it in check. If you say no, the archive can step in..”
A groaning voice echoed in the hall..
“Can I ask you a question? Which one do you think, Mr. Administrative Director? It looks like you knew it first..”
“To answer the next question, I knew it. And since it was nonsense, I forgot about it for a while. When the situation reached this point, I also spoke..”
“okay. Well, about the previous question.?”
“Same as you guys.”
“······.”
“I think the side that is more beneficial to the Magic Tower is right. Especially as the head of the administration. That's why I called you.”
Burke was sincere..
Burke, who worked in the administration until he reached the age where he could look beyond misfortune and face heaven, thought of the interests of the Magic Tower without being ashamed of his life's work, and so he called in the wizards who were now in front of him..
To lay the foundation for establishing a school as requested by Zenon Bright. If you announce it like this, rumors will naturally spread within the Mage Tower, and you will be able to find out who is for and against, and what the reasons for their opposition are..
If Zeno was truly the person who would establish the school, he would have been able to respond accordingly..
Excited. Excited. Exciting.
Burke could feel his heart pounding when he saw the confused One Masters..
I couldn't imagine the appearance of Zeno, an outstanding figure who made a deal with the Church of Pater as a warlock, and what changes that outstanding person would bring to the Tower of Magic..
And I couldn't imagine how the administration, a servant of the Magic Tower, would change in that change..
The only thing that is certain is that its impact is greater than the founding of the Moirai School..
Burke was at an age where he was looking forward to a peaceful retirement, but suddenly it occurred to him that it wouldn't be a bad idea to experience something like this in his later years..
It was truly amazing. How can one young man have this much power? I suddenly wondered what the young man was doing now..
“It's a revolution! revolution!!”
“Let the ruling classes tremble before the revolution.!”
“Unite! To lose is a chain! What you get is the world!!”
“labor! Isolation! exploitation!”
“Kururururuk!!”
Meeting room of District X Redevelopment Association. Childs and Gluttons shouted.
There was silence in the hall, and Joe, wearing a suit, politely handed Oliver his worker suppression club, FRP-105..
Oliver asked, unconsciously receiving the riot club FRP-105..
“What does that mean? Child, glutton.”
