The world's No. 1 in Heroes Chronicle becomes the first to learn advanced magic!

[The first to learn advanced magic (o)]

It wouldn't be like Han Se-ah to miss out on such a perfect streaming opportunity.

On her way out of the city toward the 40th floor gate, she quickly changed her stream title.

By the time she had passed through the gate to the outside of the city, her viewers had increased to a number that could be called an army.

She was famous on Western forums like Reddit as a hot mech porn girl, so despite streaming in Korean, many Western viewers watched her stream thanks to the power of A.I. translators.

"Wow, look at the increase in viewers."

-It wasn't even this crowded on the subway to work this morning.

-Are you sure the server won't crash while she's learning magic? It feels kinda unstable.

-Quiero que aprenda el ardor del fuego con pasin(I want you to learn the ardor of fire with passion.)

-Who the hell spread the word to the foreigners again! Damn room thieves!

- (If you think about the role of a mage, it should be ice magic)

Just going through the gate and heading out of the city was enough to worry her that the stream might actually crash due to the bustling crowd.

Perhaps it was to be expected.

The word 'magic' is enchanting enough to conjure up fantasies, and magic and fantasy go hand in hand.

Have you ever met someone who loves fantasy but hates magic?

"So, Hanna and Roland are heading to the Magic Tower?"

"Yeah. There's no need for all of us to swarm there; just Hanna and I will go."

"Make sure to show us the magic before you enter the tower."

"Shouldn't advanced magic be used inside the tower?"

"Oh, right."

Thus, leading tens of thousands of viewers outside the tower, it was late afternoon before sunset, a difficult time to start anything new.

Naturally, we dispersed, promising to meet again at the mansion.

If it hadn't been for the mansion serving as the base, we would have had to arrange to meet tomorrow at the guild or in front of the gate.

But now, it was understood that we would gather in the mansion's dining room without needing to say anything.

As Antenor's acquaintance, I headed to the Magic Tower with Han Se-ah, while Grace and Katie disappeared into the market streets to maintain and replenish their swords, bows, and arrows.

Irene also bowed her head in a small nod before naturally making her way to the temple.

"Shall we go then?"

"Lightning magic, huh? I'm kinda looking forward to it."

-Really, how could you not learn any magic til now

-After beginner's magic missile, is it right to skip intermediate and go straight to advanced?

-(What kind of attribute are you choosing?)

-Didn't you learn some medium-range whirlwind magic called Gust or something in intermediate?

-Isn't that more of a control technique than an attack skill? It barely managed to bend bat wings.

Despite the disappearance of two beautiful companions who always made the screen livelier, the viewers became even noisier.

For them, advanced magic was something out of reach, used only by NPCs that were difficult to recruit as companions early on, which is why they were so excited.

Thus, with confident steps toward the Magic Tower, we unintentionally made our viewers anxious as we headed to the magic tower.

"Did Antenor already enter the tower?"

"Yes, not to the 45th floor but to the 35th. It seems he plans to build a large laboratory there, so he might not return to the Magic Tower for a while... Should I leave a message that you've visited?"

It had been just over two weeks since we had to turn back from the 45th floor, fleeing from harpies, and in that time, Antenor had swiftly entered the tower.

With gates leading into the tower and the creation of safe floors where one can stay within the tower, this was now a normal occurrence.

It wasn't just Antenor; the floor of the Magic Tower that contained laboratories felt eerily empty, a sensation you could feel on your skin.

Every 10 floors, a gate was created, and with the 35th floor being an awkwardly situated safe floor, it caused a butterfly effect where mages obsessed with research packed their bags and moved into the tower.

"Should we go to the 35th floor? It might be too late by then."

"Oh! Don't worry. The Magic Tower is collaborating with the temple to exterminate monsters from the 30th to the 35th floor, so if you leave now, you can arrive by evening. Alternatively, though it's a bit expensive, you could take a reinforced carriage. Shall I make a reservation for both of you?"

"Th-thank you."

The pretty mage, who was formally notifying us of Antenor's absence, almost forced a crystal ball-like item onto Han Se-ah.

From what was explained, to transport mages and their precious research materials quickly and easily from the 30th floor's gate to the 35th floor's safe floor, a kind of personal taxi service using reinforced carriages was in operation.

With the development of gates and now vehicles, it seemed this was not designed for the players.

-Are you postponing it again? Are you postponing it again? Are you postponing it again?

-Why don't you learn magic in the magic tower instead?

-Forbes' No.1 in the world for breaking promises.

-Ha, old man's ass is as light as his dentures, already entered the tower again?

-At this point, it's not that he entered the tower but rather that someone living in the tower briefly came out to the city.

Anyway, with the suddenly enthusiastic help of the office mage lady, who seemed as if she'd receive a call commission, we were able to call a carriage to the 35th floor.

In Heroes Chronicle, magic was divided only into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels based on the amount and quality of mana required; there was no existence of detailed classifications like 1st Circle.

As always, this was due to Heroines Chronicle.

Magic was merely a skill of gacha characters within the magic system, and the spells they used only had cooldown times, with no hierarchy involved.

Originally, it's a game where a character using a single-target Fireball can be stronger than an Area of Effect Firestorm.

To exaggerate a bit further, it's like those web novels where a seemingly low-grade magic like MagicMissile999999 is stronger than Meteor.

"You want to learn magic from me?"

So, the important thing was the attribute and power of the magic.

And Han Se-ah was an individual who fit perfectly into such a flexible, free magic system more than anyone else.

Starting with using Spark to fry goblin eyeballs, manipulating whirlwinds to break the wings of cave-dwelling vampire bats, to solidifying the ground with Earth Control and digging out a pit before creating a sturdy spiral path to climb up, hadn't she done it all?

In a world where most magic can be described as 'using mana to control XX,' Han Se-ah perfectly handled everything from static electricity and moisture to whirlwinds and the earth.

"Hmm, it's a bit sudden. Well, I'm just an old man with too much time thanks to the gates, but what did our hero want to learn that made you come all the way here?"

"I wanted to learn the lightning magic I saw last time in the tower. I plan to give a sufficient thank-you gift... Do you know that there are races other than harpies living on the 41st floor?"

"Those fascinating minerals you guys handed over as research materials to the Magic Tower have something to do with it, I guess?"

Even excluding the image of Han Se-ah as a donation-driven genius created by her viewers, just looking at mana control, she's should have the talent of a 4 character or higher.

Seeing such a Han Se-ah, Antenor, with his eyes sparkling and jaw twitching as if he had hit the jackpot, made up his mind.

"Stone dwarves, you say, with no facial features? No mouth but they speak, does that mean they vibrate the air without vocal cords? That would mean they communicate with mana wavelengths, but why go through the trouble of creating a voice with mana instead of using telepathy?"

"Ah, wait, just a moment?"

"Is it because of interactions with various races? The fact that they call them flappers and are hostile to harpies not for racial reasons but because they attack other trading racesthis characteristic"

"Roland! Don't leave me behind! Explain it to him too!"

As a senior adventurer and a pure tank, I perfectly dodged the crisis and stepped out into the streets, ignoring the slow mage's cries of despair.

The 35th floor was originally a space where a massive tree that produced grayish-white tentacles, which were the entrails of doppelgangers, should have been.

A place wholly purged by the temple using divine energy after being completely overturned by me, who had received the enhancement ritual.

It was now a place crowded with mages and priests.

"The soil from the east belongs in research building 3-"

"Sandwiches for sale! Conveniently sized sandwiches for easy consumption during research!"

"The sister who went patrolling to the southwest this time-"

"My goodness, priest! Please have one of these."

For the temple, it was a space like spoils of victory won over the blasphemous Demon King in the name of the Goddess.

For the Magic Tower, it was the first time humanity had conquered a space that endlessly produced monsters.

Both the temple and the mages wanted to purify the tower; the interests of both forces aligned.

Debates on leaving some floors as mana stone farms are discussions for the distant future. For now, both forces are busy analyzing the safe zones and working together.

Now, the 35th floor, where not even monsters appear anymore, has become peaceful with kind grandmas cooking and beautiful innkeeper ladies even soliciting clueless mages.

"Can I learn magic today?"

-End the stream and learn it, then show us tomorrow.

-Hello, I am using a translator, what exactly is this old mage?

-Dieser Zauberer hatte die Fhigkeit, Menschen mit seiner Stimme zu tten(This mage has the ability to kill people with his voice.)

-Lolol Teacher Roland didn't hesitate to run

-This is the crisis detection instinct that a hero party tank possesses

Ironically, the one suffering the most in such peace was the hero.

Indeed, the world maintains its peace on the sacrifices of the hero.

Or not.
