Episode 147. Idols of first graders (2)
The battle between seniors and juniors dealing with lightning ended with Antonio’s one-sided victory.
“ruler.”
Antonio accepts the glove Nam Man-hyuk handed over to him.
‘You naughty child! I’ll have to be more careful when applying for duels from now on. All Giga Lightning juniors are good, but they are so persistent. … Did you push it into the realm earlier? damn it I can’t do that yet. After all, today is an all-night training.’
pod.
As soon as the two of them were seated, a light flashed behind the table, and Professor Magad appeared teleportedly.
“Everyone has gathered. Today’s lecture is to learn the magic of the Spirit Tower.”
Tour.

Just as the exterior of the Spirit Tower was reflected on the Holoboard, a bell rang from Professor Magad’s arms.
“Let’s come, magic. who? ah.”
Professor Magad, who took out his holophone and put it to his ear, seemed to ponder for a moment and then nodded.
“I do. That’s right, I owe a lot to your father. what thanks. Tax cuts soon.”
After the call, Professor Magad turned off the power of the holoboard and continued speaking.
“Today’s lecture has been changed to a tour of the Spirit Tower.”
“I will follow. Master.”
“Wow!”
While Antonio and Giga Lightning reacted positively, Annabelle and Saxony’s expressions in the second year class A2 were dark.
“You guys?”
“I’m sorry, the vice-principal told me not to leave the academy under any circumstances.”
“Me too.”
“okay? Then you will study on your own and return when the time is right. Manhyuk, how are you?”
“I am going.”
“Good. I have to leave right now, so come here.”
When he was attached to Professor Magic, a magic circle was drawn under his feet, and then disappeared from the classroom with a swarm of lights.
As the pure white light that enveloped them disappeared, the landscape of the garden with translucent butterflies flying was revealed.
“welcome. Grand Wizard, Master.”
A middle-aged wizard in a green robe greets Professor Magad politely.
“I’m not very polite. Aren’t we all walking the same path? Have you found a more spirit killer than that?”
“Unfortunately, not yet. But who are the people behind you?”
“They are my disciples. Say hello.”
“This is Nam Man-hyuk. It deals with the spirits of darkness and fusion.”
When Antonio saw Nam Man-hyuk summoning Wiz like a lump of black clay and putting it on his shoulder, Antonio discarded the ‘impressive introduction 1’ he had in his head and summoned Indra in the most glamorous way he could.
Paz!
An electric current from his toes gathered in Antonio’s left hand, and a staff made of lightning appeared with a strong spark.
“This is Antonio Goldenwood. As you can see, I made a contract with the Spirit of Lightning.”
“It’s called Giga Lightning. Take good care of me! There are no spirits!”
“FF. I am still a spirit.”
“Oh oh! I was impressed. You can see the example of the Spirit Tower in the Academy students. Did the magician teach you?”
“It was meant to be.”
Professor Magad’s warm eyes reach Nam Man-hyuk.
“You are saying that the students voluntarily found out. Heh heh, that’s really weird. Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. I also have to be polite.”
Butterflies fluttering through the garden gather next to the green robed wizard and transform into a woman.
“Sildium, the Principal of the Spirit Tower. My best friend is the Dryad Empress, the spirit of warmth and vegetation. uh, rai. stop.”
When the dryad made of butterflies pats Sildium’s chin and acts as if it’s seducing, Sildium panics and avoids it.
Then, the butterflies that made up the Droid Empress dispersed with strong flaps of their wings, and it sounded like a woman laughing.
“Your self is great.”
“So it is always difficult. I’m very sorry, but can I ask you what I told you on the phone right away?”
“That’s right. But say it.”
“Tell me.”
“Because I’m older, my body isn’t what it used to be.”
“Yes?”
Professor Mazzard opened his mouth by swiping the backs of Nam Man-hyuk and Antonio, who were on his left and right.
“Leave it to these kids.”
“It is a spirit right now, but it may hunt humans.”
“it’s okay.”
“Are you serious?”
“My disciples are strong.”
“If you say so… , All right. First, I will guide you to the place where the last trace was found.”
When Sildium took the long staff with golden iron and chrysanthemum out of the air and shook them left and right, they were moved to another floor in the Spirit Tower.
“Here, was it a park?”
A barren landscape in contrast to the previous garden. Brown withered grass and withered trees. The fountain statue placed in the center of the vacant lot has cracks everywhere so that it is easy for it to be unbroken.
“Yes. The spirit killer killed all the spirits and took away the spirit power. Would you like to come this way?”
Sildium, who nodded at Nam Man-hyuk’s question, led the students towards the fountain.
“This trace is the only clue.”
“It looks like a claw.”
“Yes, I’m guessing the Transfiguration Awoken is hiding.”
“Isn’t there a possibility that it’s a runaway spirit?”
When Antonio mentions the runaway of the spirits, Sildium’s expression wrinkled greatly and then returned to normal.
“Young wizard, that is a great disrespect. This is the Spirit Tower, and I am its owner.”
Spirit runaway is a talent that occurs when you forcefully try to contract with a spirit that is beyond your ability.
This is treated as a taboo among taboos in the Spirit Tower, so Antonio’s question was, ‘Isn’t this something you or your tower wizard did while overdoing it?’
If it was the Spirit Tower’s mistake, he wouldn’t have done anything stupid to summon the Grand Wizard.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“I forgive you. Be careful.”
“yes… .”
Nam Man-hyuk looked carefully at the claw marks and asked Sildium.
“What about the police?”
“They don’t cooperate with us.”
“How many spirits were sacrificed?”
“Over a hundred.”

Just as Nam Man-hyuk, scratching his horn, was about to say something, Antonio Goldenwood hurriedly spat out his reasoning to make up for his previous mistake.
“The culprit is still in the tower!”
“Go ahead.”
“Access to the tower is strictly controlled. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s simple. All you have to do is gather all the spirits in the Spirit Tower in one place and monitor them!”
ha… .
hahaha.
It was Antonio who realized something was wrong from Sildium’s sighs and Maddard’s laughter, but he didn’t give up.
“This is the surest way.”
“You’re saying that because you don’t know. The Spirit Tower is half the spirit world. Spirits contracted by wizards of previous generations often make their home in this place where the scent of the previous owner remains. They don’t take orders from anyone. Even if it is Sildium, the owner of this tower.”
“It is as you said. The number of contracted spirits in the tower is very small compared to the total.”
“I can… .”
Nam Man-hyeok, who opened his eyes by pushing Antonio with his droopy shoulders to the side, put the words he was trying to say into his mouth.
“It’s very likely that he’s a face eater.”
“Why?”
“If it were to be considered as the most sensitive of all objects on the planet, spirits would be ranked in the top five. They ran away or were killed without even notifying the owner, right? It is correct to say that he was accustomed to encountering criminals frequently.”
“… It seems plausible.”
“Let’s find a person who frequented this place before the spirit was murdered. A guest, a wizard, or a spirit.”
Even though he was suspicious of the spirit just like Antonio, Sildium could not refute Nam Man-hyuk’s hypothesis.
“Please wait a moment.”

After a while. A fat man was captured by Sildium and dragged into a desolate park.
“Let it go! What have you done for me!”
“He’s like a gold digger who doesn’t even know grace!”
“favor? what grace? Clean the sewer every day!”
“Cleaning the sewer is a process that any apprentice wizard goes through! Do you not know that the environment there is conducive to the growth of spirit-friendliness?”
“Remediation? ha ha ha. How many years do I drive?”
“At most, it will be a year or two. Because I’ve never seen your face.”
“It’s the fifth year. I’ve been dumping my life in the sewers for at least five years, but no spirits approaching. Do blessed ones like you know this despair?”
“It’s you—”
“I have no talent. would you like to say I’ll admit it. I hate it enough to die, but I admit it. I have no spirit-friendliness. But, deep down that sewer, there is a guy who says it’s okay for a guy like me.”
“… Maybe, did you touch the seal?”
“Heh heh, heh heh. I can do anything for him.”
“Elders, go ahead and place the sealing spell!”
Boouk.
As soon as the mana of the top master and the elders was concentrated on the fat man, his back split and a three-headed dog came out and smashed Sildium’s body with its huge front paws.
Sildium, which had a tree vine shield made by the Dryad sandwiched between them, but could not absorb the impact and bounced off to the corner of the park.
Grrr.
The dog, salivating from its three heads, looked around, and opened its mouth to swallow the closest spirit, the Dryad Empress, in one bite, but it could not achieve its purpose.
“sit down.”
dump.
“Roll left.”
roll around.
“Stand down.”
Big, bang!
“What? Is it the original prone position? this goes away PT 8.”
Kkeok, quack, quack.
The horns that sprinkled scarlet light, the cloak of Wiz that covered the whole body, and the voice that resonated throughout the space.
In response to Nam Man-hyuk’s transformation into divine form, the three-headed dog with his tail curled between his legs thoroughly obeys his orders.
After repeating PT No. 8, Nam Man-hyuk looked around and clapped once.
“What are you doing, catch the culprit?”
“… Changes to Capture instead of Seal. Elders, please tune in to me.”
After imprisoning the fainted fat man in an ice prison, they breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the spirit that moved more dynamically than anyone else.
“Lord, what will Cerberus do?”
Sildium, seeing the nightmare of the Spirit Tower repeating bizarre movements while shed tears at Nam Man-hyuk’s command, could not hide her disappointment.
‘Is that the one who destroyed the Spirit Tower once?’
A legend that has been passed down through generations of ancestors. The spirit of fire and steel, Cerberus.
How can the spirit of fear that drove many wizards to death in the past when magic was at its peak can be subdued so easily.
‘Did I say Nam Man-hyuk? What are those horns?’
Sildium looked at his scarlet horns for a moment, then shook his head.
“It was Nam Man-hyuk, a student who overcame me. Let him treat you.”
“Top Lord! If you contract with Cerberus, you can restore the power of the Spirit Tower that has fallen to the ground!”
An excited elder proposed to the lord that Cerberus belong to the Elemental Tower, but Sildium did not budge.
“He has tasted a living spirit. You cannot put it in our tower.”
“Okay… .”
“Student Manhyuk Nam, I will hand over the authority to you. What will you do with that vicious spirit?”
Nam Man-hyuk, who was estimating the amount of mana remaining, answered without hesitation.
“Kill it. threesome.”
stone track.
Cerberus, whose whole body was pierced by a magic missile full of divine attribute mana, died with a somewhat happy expression.
“Look at this, my stomach is ruptured. If it wasn’t for that formidable magic missile, I would have died of internal bleeding anyway.”
“When the materialized body is destroyed, the body dies as well as the ancient spirits.”
“It’s fun. I have a lot to experiment with.”
Even the elders of the Spirit Tower had only heard of Cerberus through word of mouth, so curiosity, the essence of a wizard, jumped out of his face.
“There are still guests. Please calm down.”
“Is that my guest? I’m your guest. Come on, let’s take this with us. Oh, can we take care of the body? young friends. Pay the price.”
“That’s it.”
“It’s cool. Take good care of Topju and come. Prepare my dissection.”
“Yes. Never touch it first!”
“Okay.”
Afterwards, Sildium first bowed to Professor Magad and thanked Nam Man-hyuk.
“Thanks to that, we were able to prevent further damage.”
“Yeah, what. But what will that man do?”
The fat man, who had been broken by making a pool of blood, was surrounded by a spirit with healing powers and being healed.
“I plan to hand it over to the Central Magic Association.”
Nam Man-hyuk thought for a moment and then nodded.
“All right.”

three days later.
An article was published in Wizard Magazine that the man who contracted with Cerberus died by a beam of light falling from the sky while he was being transported to the Central Mage Association.
“You should also dispose of your trash on time.”
