Elena was surprised for a moment when Jeremy uttered those words out of nowhere.
He directed his body into the blue light.
Soon after, Jeremy was sucked inside.
‘Is this real?’
Should she go in just like that?
Anxiety and fear arose at the same time.
But she couldn’t stay for long.
Eventually, Elena closed her eyes and entered through the blue light.
And when she opened her eyes again.
The world has changed.
“Wow…”
A gasp escaped from her mouth.
The first thing she saw was a wide, tall tower.
It was so high that it could pierce the clouds, and its end was not in sight.
And it looked as breathtaking as a castle.
‘This is the tower….’
Pure white walls, dotted blue roofs.
Other than that, there wasn’t only one tower.
The largest tower existed in the center, and smaller towers were situated in each of the four directions from the center.
She stared at the endless castle, then lowered her gaze to observe her surrounding.
The place where Elena was standing appeared to be a garden.
There was a high wall behind the garden, which was abundant in plants she had never seen before, while a huge wooden gate stood there.
And just behind her, the same means of transportation like the one in the old bookstore a while ago shook.
Other than that, Elena didn’t see anything special.
She mused, ‘I thought I would see all kinds of magic as soon as I entered the tower.’
Somehow, she felt steamy.
“Miss Elena, what do you think?”
Jeremy, who arrived first, looked at Elena and asked with a smile.
“The tower is tremendously high.”
From the reaction in her eyes, Jeremy quickly read her disappointment.
“It will be more interesting once you go inside.”
Jeremy naturally led Elena.
The place the two were headed to was the tower in the center.
“By the way, sir.”
“Yes?”
“What is that blue light that we went through a while ago?”
“It’s a portal.”
Portal.
A rare masterpiece created by the Archmage.
It was a means of transportation where one could come and go over long distances at once.
“The Archmage used a lot of magical power to make this item, so the quantity is not large. Two in the Empire and one in the nearby Kingdom.”
According to him, when wizards traveled from the tower, they would all use portals.
“But you can’t use it unless you are a magician belonging to the tower.”
“Oh, but how did I…?”
“You came with me.”
Ahh…
Elena quietly laughed.
While they were chatting, they reached the front of the tower at some point.
“This is the central tower. The central tower where the Archmage resides.”
Jeremy fully opened the door.
And Elena’s eyes widened.
Good profit!
A kettle, that was radiating heat, flew in the sky.
“Rein, get out! I mean, you’re busy!”
A male wizard was riding a broomstick.
Whoa-!
There was a swift, bird-shaped paper.
“Hey! Grab that one!”
Tortoises were bouncing off the floor and running away while cooking, etc.
Unlike the quiet garden, the inside of the tower was in an uproar.
But Elena didn’t mind those things.
“Aren’t this a little crazy?”
Jeremy smiled shyly.
“It’s crazy, but it’s fun.”
Elena said sincerely.
“The reason we came to have experiential learning today at Magic Tower is simple. I’m going to have Miss Elena’s magic accurately measured, and show the ‘Rose’ sales book.”
“Ah..”
“And if Miss Elena wants it, it’s alright to officially register as a magician belonging to the Magic Tower.”
‘Officially belonging to the Magic Tower.’
It felt good just hearing it.
“Shall we go and measure your power first?”
“Yes!”
Elena followed Jeremy through the complex central tower hall.
She went into the inner hallway, climbed the twisted stairs, and the surroundings became quiet.
“A ‘silence magic’ was placed all over the tower. There are so many geeks among wizards. So the Archmage – greatly disturbed by the noise – intervened.”
Elena laughed out loud.
Jeremy’s steps stopped in front of the white door.
When she went inside, there was a crystal ball bigger than a human being.
“This…”
“You have seen it, right? It’s a magic meter.”
But it was several dozen times bigger than the first one she had seen…
Elena swallowed hard.
“Come on, Miss Elena. Just like last time, touch the crystal ball and try to infuse it with magic.”
After nodding her head, she placed her hand on the crystal ball.
And she drew her magic from the depths of her body.
She was considerably more focused than when her magic power was first measured.
The clear crystal ball turned white in an instant.
Similar to Jeremy.
Elena smiled happily and looked at the crystal ball.
But at that moment.
Flash—
Within the white smoke, she could see something like a sparkling golden thread.
However, it vanished in an instant.
‘What? Did I see it wrong?’
While she tilted her head in confusion.
Jeremy’s expression hardened as he looked at the crystal ball.
