The Player Hides His Past

Chapter 222: Need some explanation?

Chapter 222: Need some explanation?

Lick

Licking his cotton pad with his tongue.

The Tower Master looked down at the Crystal Hall and thought.

He never thought the roundtable meeting would change like this.

Was it possible to come up with this idea just because of the stone that just rolled in?

Meow

It was a cry full of satisfaction.

Well, even if he looked at everything else separately.

It finally lived up to its name.

A meeting held in the circular Crystal Hall.

It was truly a roundtable meeting.

A cat?

Did someone bring it here?

No! Its been sitting since I entered.

Hey, youre cute. What is your name?

Klee, is it the right time to be distracted by a cat?

She thought he was cute?

These were apprentice mages and skilled mages who couldnt even detect his transformation magic that was worse than polymorph. He should be the one saying that to these young chicks.

Meow.

Still, the touch that scratched his chin wasnt so bad.

In the end, the Tower Master took his place in a player apprentice mages knee and watched the roundtable meeting.

It was amazing that mages of all classes were gathered together, and adventurers were also mixed in.

It would have been unthinkable in the past.

That sight, too.

The sight of the seniors having a close conversation with each other.

The Tower Master thought while making a purring noise.

Chief Lee Hoyeol, no matter how I look at it, you are better than me.

Then suddenly, he sniffed.

She seems busy.

There was no scent of his disciple, Jessie.

Of course, even if Jessie participated in the roundtable meeting.

He had no intention of approaching her first.

He was ashamed of himself.

A bad teacher can only cause trouble.

Jessie, if it was her.

She must be blaming herself for the situation.

It was all because of his shortcomings.

But the Tower Master was not worried about Jessie.

Im glad you found a better teacher than me.

Yes, Chief Lee Hoyeol.

Hoyeol would be a much better teacher than he was.

When he thought of Jessie, he remembered the times when he was with her.

The thing that caught the Tower Masters eyes was none other than the smartphone.

Tuktuk

The Tower Master touched the players hand with his front paw.

Whats wrong?

Meow.

Are you asking me to play? Not now.

They were feigning innocence while pretending to focus on the meeting.

Ive already remembered your face, apprentice mage.

If they didnt show him their smartphone screen, he would punish them with the authority of Tower Master. Did the Tower Masters petty threat get conveyed? The player showed their smartphone to the Tower Master.

Now, do you want to watch this?

What appeared on the screen was a Nettube video.

The title was [Cats Favorite Video].

It was a video of fish in a fish tank constantly moving.

The Tower Master thought.

Indeed, thats interesting.

No, thats not it.

Should I check the news of the world?

The Tower Master had shared senses with Jessie in the pointed hat.

Now that he had mastered the knowledge of the [system], which could be said to be the exclusive property of players, he was at least able to operate a smartphone. Even if he only saw it over his shoulder, he was familiar with it.

Press

The Tower Master manipulated the smartphone with his paw.

The screen moved following his cotton pad.

Then, the Tower Masters front paw stopped.

A cluster of shooting stars embroidered the sky.

Meteor strike.

There was no distortion in the memories engraved on his body.

I really manifested it.

A high-level magic.

At this point.

The only thing that could manifest Meteor Strike was his body.

Press

The Tower Master stamped his paw on the video.

And soon.

Meow.

He sighed.

He found out why his body became like this.

For him to manifest such super-high level magic 10 times in a row.

It wouldnt have ended with mana exhaustion.

His body went crazy to the extent that it wouldnt be strange if he reached the point of death.

It was so unfair, my body.

After meowing trivially for a moment, he wondered.

So how did Chief Lee Hoyeol block that?

The Tower Master reflected on his magic knowledge.

Nevertheless, he couldnt think of a suitable solution.

Assuming that he manifested a magic powerful enough to cause the Meteor Strike to crash.

The debris will pour out of the sky.

That was the reason why Meteor Strike was called a super-high level magic and a magic that would bring about the end.

Was the answer contained in this video? The Tower Master stared at the screen with extreme concentration.

What? Did the video get skipped? Ill play it again

Hiss!

That scared me! All right. I wont touch it.

He watched that day unfold with his fur standing on end.

And he found out.

!

The Meteor Strike went back to the sky.

The Tower Master was astonished.

What kind of ultra-high-level magic is this, Chief Lee Hoyeol?

*

Mage Tower.

Marcelos office.

As expected, wouldnt it have been better for me to be the one who came to you?

Theres nothing to worry about.

Im glad if thats the case.

Clink

I looked at the teacup Marcelo put down.

The tea bag was submerged in the teacup.

Needless to say, it was green tea.

I have a lot to think about.

Should I be grateful that he took into account my preference in consideration even if I didnt tell him to?

Otherwise, should I be embarrassed that the green tea bag was also served at the Mage Tower?

How obsessed I was with green tea?

First of all, lets soak it.

At this moment, all I needed was peace of mind.

It smells good.

I put down my teacup and looked at Marcelos desk.

The cat, the Tower Master, was there.

The Tower Master spoke slylyly.

I was planning to meet our next Tower Master in person.

Seriously, what are you saying!?

My heart sank because he said I was the next Tower Master.

Besides, where are you going to find me?

Do you think I rented Marcelos office for no reason?

Im sorry, but I refuse such kindness.

There was no particular reason for me, Lee Hoyeol, to dislike cats. But Grandfel had a specific reason why he didnt like cats.

Thats right.

Dressing style.

Grandfel was extremely obsessed with the angle of the brooch.

But he couldnt put up with cat hair.

Regardless of my distraught feelings.

Marcelo opened his mouth with a flushed look.

By the way, you said that Sir Hoyeol is the next Tower Master. Of course, I agree But why so sudden? From now on, I must hear the reasons for the Tower Masters decisions.

It was good to ask the reason.

He didnt even ask my opinion as the party concerned.

Please dont approve of Tower Masters random decision, Marcelo.

Rather, lets listen to his reason.

Naturally.

I had no intention of taking the Tower Masters position.

The chiefs weight.

Even the chiefs weight that I shared with Marcelo was so heavy that I felt like I would sink.

Besides, what about Grandfels habit of poking into other peoples business?

If I carry the weight of the Tower Master, Im really going to die.

Even putting that aside.

Even if I hated that cat, I had no intention of taking over as the Tower Master. He put in a resignation letter as soon as he returned from unauthorized absence. What did he think social life was?

Of course, my inner feelings were not revealed on the outside.

Thanks to this, the Tower Master talked about it leisurely.

I noticed this during the roundtable meeting. Chief Lee Hoyeol, Im talking about how you blocked the Meteor Strike that my body manifested.

You noticed that during the roundtable meeting?

How?

I was doubtful, so I focused on what he said.

Smartphone. Through the adventurers tool.

So that was how.

No wonder.

He hadnt seemed to have any intention of coming down from the players knees at that time.

Marcelo added.

Ah, I know about that. Sir Hoyeol clearly said that with just that one thing, you can summon the desired object to your doorstep with just a snap of your finger.

I did?

When?

This damn mouth.

I was surprised and tried to look back on my memory

Oh, rocket delivery.

It was when I asked the Mage Tower for rocket delivery.

It was also called oddity.

I rationalized it and got permission for the delivery drivers to enter the Mage Tower.

Yes.

Thanks to this, I responded shamelessly as usual.

Then, for now, I kept quiet.

From now on, if I used my mouth incorrectly.

I might actually have to take over the position of the Tower Master.

Even if I get called by my boss, I can survive as long as I keep my wits with me.

I listened more closely to what the Tower Master said next.

Chief Lee Hoyeol, I will go straight to the point.

Fortunately.

No matter how much weight he held, the cat form couldnt be intimidating. Nevertheless, the tail that was raised high seemed to show that the Tower Master was extremely serious.

What was it? That magic.

Excuse me, but what magic are you referring to?

The Tower Master replied to Marcelos cautious words.

How was it possible to send the Meteor Strike that my body manifested back to the sky? It was as if no magic had occurred. It returned intact. Even if it was oddity, there must be magic as its base.

He continued speaking in a more serious tone.

Shamefully, even I, the Tower Master, couldnt see what your magic was. Yes, that is also why I am resigning from my position as the Tower Master. Chief Lee Hoyeol, it is clear that your magic abilities far exceed mine.

Wait, was that the reason?

As expected, no matter how I looked at it, he clearly was just trying to pass it to me.

I looked at Marcelo to see if he would help.

But why are you looking like that, Chief Marcelo?

Its reversal magic.

Oh, reversal magic. Did you know that, Marcelo?

Yes, I was also wondering about it.

Please dont exchange words seriously with the Tower Master, Marcelo.

I had to admit it.

I needed to correct the misunderstanding.

It might be a different case if it was the oddity.

But reversal magic was not that great.

Exploration Interference Manifestation.

It was a simple reverse manifestation of the magic structure.

It was a reversal.

Yes?

Marcelo asked back with a blank look.

Is it because the curse of the terminal illness has disappeared?

I felt like I had seen various facial expressions of Marcelo lately

I thought it might be difficult to understand, so I said it again.

This time, I even kindly added a metaphor.

Exploring manifested magic. Its like untying knots one after another. If the interference process is reversed and manifested, it is called reversal magic.

I explained it but it was really obvious.

Yes, a series of processes to untie a tied knot.

That was the effort that went into reversal magic.

Of course, interfering with other peoples magic was never easy, even for me. Especially interfering with Meteor Strike, if I hadnt formed a circle, I wouldnt have tried it.

However, my kind explanation might be meaningless.

The Tower Master snorted.

Is that really all, Chief Lee Hoyeol?

Thats right.

Thats what Im saying.

What, did you think there was something great?

Stop thinking about handing over the Tower Masters seat.

By using the reversal magic as an excuse.

Hahaha. Sir Hoyeol, truly.

If it was only the Tower Master who had snorted, I would have easily ignored it.

But even Marcelo was laughing.

Suddenly, I felt anxious.

Did I make a mistake?

No, thats not possible.

Im just explaining it as it is!

The Tower Master spoke to me who had my head held high as always.

I see. Now I understand. To you, the Meteor Strikes interference process seemed like a simple knot. So, it was possible to manifest it in reverse order.

Thats right.

I thought we were able to understand each other now

For some reason, the atmosphere wasnt like that at all.

I was quick-witted, so I noticed it at that point.

By any chance, was unraveling that knot actually something great and magnificent?

Tower Master and Marcelo.

The magic talents of those two were considered one of the best in the Mage Tower.

So, naturally, I thought they could do it as well.

What do you mean?

Even I could do it!

But, I supposed I was firmly mistaken.

Do you know, Sir Hoyeol? People like me have a hard time even in the normal interference process. The series of processes that Sir Hoyeol describes as a knot seems like a solution to an extremely complex and difficult problem.

This time, the Tower Master supported Marcelos words.

But not only you grasp the interference process backward, you can reach its manifestation. You truly have a brilliant talent, Chief Lee Hoyeol.

Reversal magic.

It was more than just magic to make things easier.

It seemed so much greater!

By the way.

Thank you.

Dont puff up your should in an atmosphere like this, Granfel.

What are you going to do if they really hand over the Tower Master position to me?

Of course, Ill do a good job of it.

Because we will definitely make the pouring overestimation a reality.

But thanks to you, I am the one whos struggling.

I was a mage before I became the tower master, its something I cant overlook.

The Tower Master continues meaningfully.

The same goes for me, Sir Hoyeol.

Marcelo added weight to it.

So, as the Tower Master, I would like to formally recommend you.

No, wait a minute.

It was clearly a compliment, but I couldnt just like it.

At the same time as the Tower Masters tail fluttered.

My vision flashed.

Uh-huh, whos throwing me a quest as they pleased?!
