Ivory Tower Invitation (2)
Letter received by the maid.
It seems there is nothing on it.
However, any magician would recognize the secret behind it.
Where flows through the letter.
‘Grandmother.’
Since long ago, ivory towers preferred some secret ways like this.
Secret communication that can only be done between witches, who have hearts and brains at the same time. It effectively attracted a feeling of superiority and involvement from the witches.
*whirr…..*
After Ian injected mana into the letter, words slowly came to light.
‘For our beloved witch, Ian Page.’
[Like the royal family, we are also looking forward to meeting you.].
As far as regular mail goes, it starts with a general greeting.
Reading a quick glance, Ian looked at the main part.
[According to our tradition, you may have to pass the academy's processing. But, what's the point of letting your time go to waste when you're already one of our talented witches?]
As Ian had expected, the ivory tower did not wait long.
They want to test Ian's talent.
As a reason, with the title ‘interview simple’, they want ‘interrogate’ him.
Without a doubt, they would cast the strongest interrogation spell in the interview room.
[Therefore, Exactly 7 days, we would like to invite you to our little meeting. As a proud member of the ivory tower, please attend our meeting.]
The only problem is the period given.
Ian could have asked them to postpone the meeting date, but Ian did not want to.
The longer he delayed, the more unexpected situations that might occur.
“Said we have one week.”
ian said to Ledio.
The potion must be completed before then.
The time they had was slightly shorter than Ian had expected
In addition, Ledio had never used this material before.
“If it seems too difficult for you, I can request this task from some other alchemist..”.
If Ian had not met Ledio in Mogrian province, Ian would have asked some black market alchemists. Ian knew a few who had bad temperaments, but were quite skilled. And there are many ways to prevent them from speaking.
“T, not at all. One week huh? It was possible.”
But, Ledio was a fairly talented alchemist.
He was proud of his skills, and it was not an impossible task.
“By reducing my sleep time, it will be fine.”
“Then please, I'll bet you.”
“No problem at all. By the way, please persuade Douglas. Recently he seems to be following you more than me. I can't be sure if it's good or not. As you know, you are not an ordinary person .... ”.
Lethio started talking again.
This is proof that Ledio is confident in the task.
He had already thought of some possible recipes.
His chatter relieved Ian of more than a thousand words of promise.
A week is not a long time.
And time passes quickly.
*clop clip, clop clip...”.
Ian was riding on the train that was heading to the ivory tower.
To the place where most of the imperial witches lived.
‘The effect will remain for approximately 2 hours.’
Ian recalled Ledio's explanation while taking the potion.
Ledio managed to brew the potion.
‘Two hours..’
The interrogation won't be long, at most an hour.
It'll be pretty good.
‘Finally.’
Through the window, exotic scenery is revealed.
Grass, flowers, trees, and butterflies of various colors.
Even though the ivory tower is inside the capital.
‘They have set the environment like forest.’
Literally can be called ‘hutan in the city.’
Since they had moved away from the old place, they had built an environment like this.
It could be called their tradition.
“We're here.”
With the driver's words, Ian left by train.
The familiar ivory tower landscape greeted Ian.
It looked very different from the old ivory tower.
The size is very large, with a well-sharpened white outer wall, it is a very well-built structure.
“Oh, this is it, the first witch.”
A couple of young witches approached Ian. They seemed uncomfortable from having to go out and greet this young witch named Ian. At this age they should be full of their own pride and excellence. Whoever and whatever Ian is, they don't care, but they just don't like to show respect to this youngster.
“Come, Son. High figures are waiting for you. ”
The young witch declared in a sharp and harsh voice.
To Ian, they were more cute than intimidating. Ian was calm.
‘High people, yes?’
‘There must be a lot of witches I've known.’
While recalling his memories, Ian had entered the ground floor of the ivory tower.
Magicians used to refer to this area as ‘ starting sanctuary.’
Ian had passed by here over a thousand times in his previous life.
That hasn't changed since the past, in fact, the future.
‘When I first stepped here, it was very interesting.’
Ian recalled the moment when he visited here at first.
At that moment, everything was interesting to him.
The interior is spacious and large, illuminated by a ball of light spell.
The air conditioning system is controlled by magic.
The white-robed victory witch.
Books floating in the air.
The atmosphere was open and free, not what he expected.
‘I think every magician is wise and charismatic.’
He thought that way when he was young, but not now that he had discovered the truth.
The witch on the ground floor is a beginner.
Instead of being full of dignity, they were full of arrogance.
‘I was similar to them when I was their age.’
With the guidance of the witches, Ian reached the end of the passageway.
A golden disc was floating there.
It was large enough to lift about 5 people at a time.
Ian was familiar with the disk.
‘Stair walk.’
The exact title is ‘Elevator Mana.’
Powered by anywhere, it brought the witch from floor to floor.
Without it, witches would have trouble climbing all those stairs.
“Can you see the disc?”
“Yes, I can see it.”
“I didn't mean for you to answer. Stomp it.”
The young witch who was being rude to Ian, replied unfriendly.
“Know that you are honored. Not everyone is allowed to drive it.”
That is the truth.
Gold disks are only allowed to be used by Arch-mages normally.
For the magicians, who only judged themselves with magic talent, it meant a lot of things.
‘The youngest in my previous life too. If I remember it correctly.’
Ian was 19 years old when he was authorized to use the golden disc, he had reached the 4th grade. This time, he was only 12 years old, but was allowed to step on the golden disc. Of course she's not officially a 4th class witch, but soon she'll be a witch.
‘Maybe today.?’
As soon as Ian stepped on the golden disc, it felt Ian's weight, and it trembled slightly.
It was the previous clause of powerful levitation magic.
*Whirrrrr – !*
After shaking, the elevator started to fly.
To be exact, it went upstairs.
Without slowing down, it kept going up.
*sniffle!*
Ian drank the stone liver potion he had brought.
His senses became dull, and he began to feel dizzy.
It felt like he was a puppet controlled by someone else.
But soon, everything became calm and clear.
He doesn't feel dizzy anymore.
“Mendesah...”
After taking a deep breath, Ian looked up.
The tower has 22 floors.
Passing ground floor ‘holy place start’, ‘holy place training’, ‘protection place information’, ‘protection place note’, ‘rest place’, ‘protection place element’, etc. There were many different types of shrines, and on top of that, there was a banquet hall, a lower hall hall, an upper hall hall and finally, the 22nd floor.
‘House master tower.’
The elevator stopped.
It was too big to be called a room.
Inside the room were 11 witches.
Habert, and 10 other Arch-mages.
Each of them has their own characteristics.
From man to woman, from old to young.
Unlike other witches, some of them do not even wear robes.{ED:0.o what, they're naked?}
“It looks like they won't go easy on me.”
Members are counted as the best of the best of the ivory towers.

They were gathered in the same place, and at the same time they saw the same child.
A young wizard, Ian Page.
Whose talent is compared to the first ‘ witches.’
They gathered to test his talent.
Or perhaps, to tame his dangerous talent.
