2nd Rank Has Returned

Magic Tower-8

“…OMG…”

Leonardo woke up, stretching as if waking up in the morning.

[What happened this time? You moaned a lot?]

The sage was in front of him, and he seemed to have returned to reality.

＜…that’s… obviously…＞

I definitely remember going into a dream. But I can’t remember what happened after that.

It was hazy and hazy, like a mist.

The more I try to recall, the more the fog of memory spreads, and the more I bring out the thoughts, the more my head hurts.

[If you can’t remember, it’s better not to think. Most people forget their own dreams in 2 minutes, but what about other people’s dreams?]

It was as it was said. On the contrary, it would be better not to remember that Aria has a lot of personal stuff mixed in with it.

“…but what happened to Arya?”

More important than that was Arya’s safety. If the main purpose of Arya is not safe, this operation itself becomes meaningless.

“Miss Ariasviel is already awake. over there…”

Ariaspil had already gotten up from his seat and was organizing the books he had written in the coffin.

“Oh, are you awake? Leo.”

Ariasviel smiled at Leo with a clear smile, so as not to look like a person suffering from nightmares.

[…Jean, why are you smiling like that from a while ago? Don’t you have any guesses?]

＜Well… I think I woke up safely from my dream…＞

It was a clumsy guess, but only that much came to mind from uncertain memories.

“…Leo.”

Arya put her hair behind her ear and wiped Leo’s lips with her hand.

“What’s in your mouth?”

Saying that, with a bewitching smile, she put the book back together.

…

…..

………

[You stood…]

＜Shut up.＞

When you wake up from sleep, it’s just a physiological phenomenon that can’t be helped. It was and it had to be.

***

First of all, I decided to stop looking for the sage’s legacy here.

All the necessary estates had been gathered, and there was an opinion that it could be as dangerous as this time, so we decided to postpone the search for the heritage until later.

Meanwhile, Leo decided to do what he had to do, and Arya decided to do what he had to do.

[But where are you going to report it? Also, the lord?]

Looking at the evidence gathered, the sage asked with a frown. The crimes so far have been quite serious, so even the wise man did not joke or swear at him.

＜No. Even if you report it to the masters and prove it as evidence, those with a hundred or money will be punished with a stick.＞

It was fortunate that Leonardo didn’t even block his mouth if he reported it himself.

[Actually… Because the top head isn’t all-around. Rather, there are more restrictions. So what do you do? Are you going to put a big japaol on it too?]

＜No. I won’t.＞

The wise man asked if he could not understand the questionable words.

[Then what? Who will do it for you?]

＜Oh, you are also a sage.＞

[Why is this real? So what are you going to do?]

＜The board has already been laid, and the rest of the cubs will self-destruct on their own.]

Leonardo smiled like that and listened to things like the evidence he was carrying.

[Why are there two?]

＜This is a copy.＞

To be precise, it was a copy copied with a magic tool for printing, a copy with no evidence.

＜I gave these copies to some wizards.＞

[some? In that case, wouldn’t it be better to send it to a newspaper?]

“Has the media ever been on our side?”

In my mind, I wanted to assassinate all newspaper reporters as a joke (physical).

＜Just watch. After the announcement is over, we will kill each other and kill each other.＞

[okay. Well… I’m curious too. I wonder how the kids will react.]

Leonardo nodded at the words of the sage and walked to the sage research room.

“Mr. Ameri!”

“Ah, Leonardo-kun!”

Ameri Esp was sitting in the living room in a neat and lively outfit that day.

The shade of his eyes had disappeared, his skin had become very smooth and moist, and his hair was neatly tied and brushed off.

[Does a person change like this because of a miscarriage?]

＜It must be makeup.＞

[Is that the same?]

It was an unfamiliar and neat appearance, but Ameri was the only person in this shabby club room.

“Can we really meet here? The lords of the towers…”

“We were the ones who found the heritage, and it was the Matop that gave up this shabby space to the poor study of the sages. We didn’t do anything wrong, we didn’t do anything wrong.”

As a graduate student, every step will feel like a grade drop. However, only when you come out with such a low attitude will your social life, let alone graduation, be difficult.

“…Yes, but…”

At that moment, the shabby door opened again and the giants of the magic world walked in one after the other.

“It’s pretty shabby.”

From the Black Tower state Bernan Verdein.

“Do we really need to gather here?”

Aspi Ilinan, Archmage of the Hundred Towers,

“Did you really get the sage’s legacy?”

Blois Blanc, the manager on the top floor of the blue tower,

“If you listen, you will know!”

Even the enemy tower owner and battle wizard Jane Narsha.

The four pillars of the current magic world came to the wise man’s club room. In an instant, the air became heavy and the density of mana increased.

“…that…then… even a car…”

“No, it’s fine. Since work is work, let’s get straight to the point.”

At the remarks that did not give the slightest leeway, Ameri immediately shrank in momentum.

“The main point… are you talking about this?”

Leonardo calmly grabbed the ‘necklace of truth and facts’ from his neck.

Naturally, the eyes of the Archmage gathered on the sage’s necklace.

“Really…?”

“…really.”

“Even though…”

“Check it out!”

The first was the enemy tower master.

“I am a man!”

It may sound silly, but Woomun was the best way to tell the truth from a lie.

Jiying

A red flash shone from the neck ornament’s eyes.

“Oh, then that’s a lie. I am a woman!”

At that explanation, the red light disappeared.

“Oh, it must be genuine. It is a technique that cannot be reproduced by modern magic!”

In the test of Jeok-Tap-ju, other Ma-Tap Masters also loosened the boundaries of the sage’s legacy. Above all else, the lie detection function that identifies the collar that you are currently holding may have played a significant role.

“…So, I’d like to hear how you got it.”

“The police…the inspector is the same as the one in the report.”

“Is this what you mean?”

Heuktopju said as he presented the submitted report.

“To sum up… Leonardo you improvised on the basis of the data collected by Student Ameri and found two sage’s legacy shrouded in veil over hundreds of years… Do you mean to trust this?”

But everyone still doubted. The way he got and passed the test was an unbelievable story for a normal person.

“If you can’t trust us after seeing this, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Leo said while showing the collar. It was not meant to simply mean that he had inherited, but also the intention to reflect on the power of this necklace.

“…okay. If that’s the case with the neck ornament, then you have no choice but to believe it.”

“Then we should move on to the next topic, the question of the disposal of the estates!”

At those words, the masters revealed their flashing desires with their eyes. The value of those heritages could not be known beyond being a wizard.

“No need to worry. Ameri is a student of the Black Tower, and the legacy of the sage is Black Tower’s specialization in magic tooling. With that in mind…”

It was the white top wine that cut the horse of the black top wine.

“Isn’t that premise wrong? The Black Tower deals with the field of magic tools and the legacy of the wise is a different matter.”

The Blue Tower also helped her to keep the Black Tower in check.

“I think it would be blasphemy against the sage and the student to have a legacy just because he was a student of the Black Tower, am I mistaken?”

“I also want to remain neutral as much as possible, but I can’t agree with Black Tower Master!”

Even as they expressed their opinions, they looked at the decorations quietly. The light had not yet come out of the necklace’s eyes.

[I think you have already found the law of destruction?]

＜I didn’t rise to the top of the Magic Tower where there are many tricksters for nothing.＞

Most of their speech focused on speculation and opinion. In such a case, the concept of truth or fact is inevitably obscured, so it was impossible for a lie to be detected.

“First, calm down. We also have the right to express our views.”

With those words, the masters of the mastermind trickery tried to subdue Leonardo with force and coercion.

However, it was meaningless to Leo, who was crushed by all fear.

“Yes, can you tell me?”

“To put it bluntly.”

Now the ball will be reversed.

“We have no intention of handing over the legacy of the sage.”

The feeling of pressure again, the graduate student next to him was already overwhelmed, and dark circles were appearing again through the makeup.

“Why?”

Still, I couldn’t get out of here.

“At the beginning, the legacy of a wise man was hidden in the tower on the condition that only those who were qualified could have it. Isn’t it?”

Not everyone was able to respond easily. It was because the sage had eroded the image of himself, so he could see where his status was enshrined.

“From that point of view, it makes perfect sense for us to own this.”

And Ameri could not be removed as a side effect of the ring at all, so the rationale for that becomes more and more logical.

“However, I think that the concerns of the owners of the tower should be fully taken into account.”

Leonardo took off his collar and set it down on the table.

“So I have a suggestion for you.”

Leo has already taken the initiative in the negotiations.

***

[Can I really do that?]

Looking at the neck without the necklace, the sage asked as if he did not understand.

＜I did it. It’s okay.＞

It was decided to leave the necklace to the mana tower.

Of course, even now, the explicit owner was Leo, and entrusting it to the tower was a method of renewal-type temporary rental.

[It’s just the shell, it’s hard to even call him the owner… Above all else, there’s not much to gain.]

＜This is good enough.＞

What Leo was carrying was the 《Special Magic Permit》

It was a more useful permit than an intermediate magic permit, or even an advanced permit, so there was no harm in it.

＜In order to develop unique magic, you need to get permission one by one. It’s better to get it now.＞

[…Yeah, well… I’ll teach you how to do it too…]

The sage said, pointing his finger at the room in front of him. The room contained a necklace that Leo had lent him.

[…Do you really need to make that dog-sized exhibition hall? It would be better to donate it to a museum to make it simple like that.]

＜There is. Actually, that is the main purpose.＞

[that is?]

Leonardo hummed and looked at the names of the people on the reservation.

“That pedo is there… the embezzler… and the rest are fine.”

[…what? What is it?]

The sage looked over his shoulder at the reservation list.

＜I told you I gave copies of evidence to some wizards.＞

[It was. He told me not to do it to the master.]

＜To be precise, 90% of the wizards here will do it for you.＞

Leonardo said as he turned the list over. As the pages of the list turned, the eyes of the wise man, who seemed like a dynamic person, were breathed with life.

[…uh…hey… maybe you to them…]

＜Originally, trash bastards catch trash well. I don’t know myself well.＞

The people to whom the copy is now sent were those in hostile situations, including those on the list.

＜Well, from the patent competition to the professorship, thesis, rank, and even the battle of factions. I don’t fight with those human horses, and I’ve only carefully selected those I can’t get enough of.＞

Doubt will of course be. You can’t use it as evidence right away, and you’ll suspect that it’s someone’s trap.

But it doesn’t matter. Because there is also an absolute weapon suitable for it.

[But it’s a copy. There is no legal effect […]

Leonardo smiled and pointed to the small door.

＜What do you think that is?＞

[…Wow…Oh…Mr…I got goosebumps for a moment.]

That room is the room of truth from now on.

Kill each other from now on.
