“Heh, how have you been?”
“yes… … . It was nothing special.”
“Heh heh, that’s good.”
“Bring me a cup of tea for Franz.”
“Oh, I see.”
The Empire’s chief wizard, the master of the tower, Franz, visited the Astrian mansion.
“What did you come here for?”
“Heh heh, what’s the reason between us?”
I looked at Franz like that and narrowed my brow.
Obviously, the position of the chief wizard of the Empire is a very busy position.
A person like that comes to you for no reason?

More than that, what kind of relationship are we?
No matter how much he thought about it, he had no relationship with Franz.
“Is your magic training going well these days?”
“Yes, I still found a place to practice.”
After the last fight with Astina, I was worried.
I was clearly ahead of Astina’s ability.
However, there was nothing to learn from Astina.
new abilities.
Astina honed her new abilities.
The new ability allowed us to think of a wide variety of cases in combat.
The opponent also has to think about various things to respond, and the user has the option of attack.
This made me feel the need for a new ability.
I thought slowly.
There is something lacking with space magic and dealing with fists.
What he saw there was the black magic he had been neglecting these days.
Now there is no Robert.
There is no teacher to learn black magic, but there are materials he left behind.
So I started studying with the materials that Robert left.
There were a lot of hard-to-understand data, but I was researching it on my own.
“It’s black magic… … . It’s a difficult road, but I think he’ll do well as Robert’s disciple.”
“thank you.”
“Rudy, I brought you a car.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I took the tea the maid brought to my mouth.
Franz also tasted the tea and opened his mouth quietly.
“The tea tastes good.”
“… … It’s not a special car.”
“Heh heh, does it make you feel better when you drink with someone you like?”
What did this person eat wrong?
Are you senile because you are old?
Why are you doing this from now on?
I didn’t have to say that.
It was just cursing with his eyes.
Franz coughed as if reading those eyes.
“Hmmm, then, are you doing research on your own these days?”
“Yes, I think the time to get help from someone has passed, so I’m researching on my own.”
“Heh heh, it’s a skill that doesn’t need a teacher now, but it would be nice to have someone to help with the research.”
“I don’t think I need to.”
Of course, it would be nice to have
That’s why even in the academy, professors have assistants.
However, what I do is more like training than research.
It was not in the process of creating something new, but in the stage of interpreting and learning the original material.
Do you really need someone to help with that?
“Heh heh, what do you know?”
“yes?”
“If you’re just learning a skill, it doesn’t mean much, but you’ll need some help to properly apply it in combat and use it alongside your original skills.”
Apply your skills in battle.
Then you will need training.
It would be much easier if I had someone to deal with me.
There’s my space magic and Priscilla, and up to melee combat.
It would be great if someone could help me with applying all of this.
“But I can’t get anyone to help me. Someone to help… … .”
People around me are busy with their work.
At least for those in the capital.
Then my mind flashed.
“Is there anyone who can help?”
thud!
“What?”
Franz opened his eyes wide and kicked his seat.
I looked at Franz with bewildered eyes.
“What are you doing?”
Franz cleared his throat and sat back down.
“Oh, no. If anyone can help… … .”
“There is a guy at the academy who is killing time. I think I might need some help from him.”
“Hmmm. So, you’re saying you’re a student?”
“Yes, he is a student, but he is quite talented.”
“Ah, so you’re saying it’s one person.”
I tilted my head.
What does this person want?
“I guess that means the opponent to fight with. Don’t you need people to study with? We also need space to train.”
“… … Hmm. That’s right.”
Now, you can research in the Astrian mansion in the capital, but there is no place to properly train.
Haven’t you already seen how I broke mountains with my powers?
I couldn’t show my abilities properly in any place.
Franz smiled at this.
“Then how about coming to our tower?”
“… … Is it a tower?”
Hearing that, I knew what Franz was thinking.
Is this guy trying to drag me into the tower?
“The horse tower will be able to help you enough. We can also provide you with a proper training place. Isn’t there Luna in the tower there too? Together, we can compete with each other and improve our abilities.”
Franz said with a smirk.
At this, I raised an eyebrow.
“Then you are saying that I can only rent the facilities?”
“Huh… … . I really want to do that too, but if I do that, it might sound like I’m giving someone a preference.”
“then?”
“You just need to come in for a little while. her! Come to think of it, I also brought a contract related to that.”
It was awkward.
This person has already prepared everything to seduce me.
“How about being a member of the Tower for a while? No matter where you belong, there will be no problem.”
Franz pushed the contract in front of me.
At this, I smiled broadly and pushed the contract back to Franz.
“I’m still not part of the academy. And wouldn’t the academy provide a place for Dalian?”
“Uh-huh, are you planning to go to the academy to train? When the second semester comes, I will be going back to school, but shouldn’t I be enjoying my freedom?”
“If you belong to the tower, you are not free.”
Just looking at it, he thought he was going to kidnap me to the tower.
I’ve heard of this a lot in the academy.
The sound of some wizard groups pushing the academy’s students from scratch and signing a slave contract.
As a student with no social experience, there were many cases where Kobea woke up because of the contract.
Of course, it is usually a small group that makes such contracts.
It would be tempting to conclude an unfair contract with an imperial horse tower, but I was actually making a contract that was a slap in the face even if it was an ordinary contract.
Space magic can be used.
Recognized by the royal family.
A descendant of the Astrian family.
He did great at the academy.
etc.
No one could exceed my specs.
“I will give you some degree of autonomy. Can’t I just do that?”
Franz pushed the contract back to me.
“Then is it written here?”
“Oh, it’s not written down! did i say This is a contract that I brought ‘just’ or ‘just by chance’. haha.”
In a word, it was the sound of a blow.
“Then write it down. Sign it too.”
Then a smile appeared on Franz’s face.
“Yes, yes. I have to write it down.”
Franz brought the contract towards him and picked up a pen.
Before he started writing, I opened my mouth.
“You just write it like this. I won’t leave the strange research behind. I will respect individual research. I will give you special privileges that no one can touch.”
“… … What?”
Those words meant that he would not work for the tower.
They say that they just do the research they want to do, go to work only when they want to, and don’t care what they do.
“Do you not like it?”
Shouldn’t this be a contract you like?
“Hmmm.”
At this, Franz paused the pen for a moment.
I looked at the pen and got up.
“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it. Then I… … .”
“Uh, where are you going?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m going to the academy.”
Now I am Gap, and Matop is Eul.
Either way, I had the upper hand.
“Oh, I see. I will use it.”
“Oh, and give us a private lab.”
“Dogs, private labs… … ?”
“In addition… … Could you give me a contract for a moment?”
I pulled the contract in front of Franz.
And turned the page.
“Please increase your salary by about four times, and get rid of this work rule as I just said. 10 years contract? Isn’t that a f*cking bastard? Three years.”
“ah… … ah… … .”
At my words, Franz was unable to continue.
I edited the contract by myself with a pen.
After making all the modifications, I handed over the contract to Franz.
Franz was astonished to see the revised contract.
“Hey, do you want me to do all of this?”
I nodded and smiled softly.
“Do you not like it?”
“Oh, no… … .”
What to do if you twist
Sadly, it was Franz.
Franz trembled as he tried to sign the contract.
As I was about to sign the autograph, Franz raised his head and looked at me.
I smiled and looked at Franz like that.
“Are there any problems?”
Franz hesitated and opened his mouth carefully.
“Can I just add one more contract?”
“I will listen and judge.”
“… … .”
“You tell me.”
“Can you come to me and give me the contract… … . It’s what you asked me to do… … .”
Although he was a coward now, he was Franz who wanted to protect his face.

“Is it right here?”
A man walked to the tower.
I was told to come here by letter, but I wondered if this was the right place.
Why is he here?
The man had several questions, but he approached the tower for once.
“Stop for a moment. What is it for?”
The guard guarding the tower asked the man.
“hello. me, this… … .”
At this, the man took out a letter from his pocket.
The letter was from Rudy Astria.
“Ah, Rudy-sama’s letter. You are welcome to enter. Rudy-sama is waiting for you in Room 202’s private lab.”
“Dog, private lab?”
You have to climb to a fairly high position in order to receive a private laboratory in the horse tower.
It was only when they were in their 30s or 40s that they decided whether or not to receive a private laboratory.
I didn’t even hear that Rudy had entered the tower, but it was ridiculous to hear that he had even received a private laboratory.
The man nodded his head and entered the tower.
When he entered the tower, brilliant decorations greeted him.
He made an awkward expression and went up the floor.
“No. 202… … .”
When we arrived at room 202, which the security guard said, there was a board attached to it.
‘Deputy Researcher Rudy Astria.’
It was not that he had rented a private laboratory, but that it was really the private laboratory he had received.
A few weeks ago, I was told that I had given up the position of successor, but now I am in the position of the second researcher.
Being a senior researcher is something that can only be entered with great effort… … A place like a fantasy for wizards.
At that level, it was as if he had already succeeded, not at the level of his success.
The man opened the door with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Oh, Evan. did you come?”
That man was Evan.
Evan, who was practicing magic alone at the academy.
Rudy predicted that Evan had nothing to do, and called Evan here.
“… … What the hell were you doing?”
“Explain it slowly, there’s nothing you can do about it, right?”
“It is, though.”
“Then sign this.”
Rudy handed Evan the paper.
“What is this?”
“It’s a contract that allows you to temporarily belong to the Magic Tower. If you sign an autograph, you can go in and out of the tower as much as you want.”
Evan looked at the contract and Rudy alternately with a puzzled expression.
“How are you going to sign this?”
“It’s nothing.”
Rudy got up from her seat and relaxed her shoulders.
“You have to train.”
