Part 2 Chapter 120: The Culprit Is Inside! / 844
TL: Hanguk
<Power: Namer>
→ When giving a name to a nameless being, the name can be imbued with special power.
→ The higher the level, the stronger the power of naming.
→ You can freely rename someone. (The lower the opponent's level, the higher the success rate.)
"So what exactly changed...?"
Sejun checked the Namer ability, which had changed from unique talent to power, and felt disappointed. It seemed to have improved, but it wasn’t very noticeable.
“Hehehe. Since it said I can rename, should I start by changing my own name?”
He never liked the name Park Sejun.
“I, Park Sejun, rename myself to Park Gop-se!”
Hehe. With this name, surely some special effect that multiplies my power several times would come with it. Then marriage with Aileen would be just around the corner.
For reference, Gop-se was short for “Goppaegi Sejim” meaning “getting stronger by multiples”.
And so Sejun renamed himself to Park Gop-se, but
[You have attempted to rename Black Tower's Tower Farmer Park Sejun to Park Gop-se.]
[<Power: Namer> cannot rename your own name.]
“Huh?!”
I can’t change my own name?!
Is this for real?! What kind of nonsense is this?!
The renaming failed.
Tch. I was going to change the company name to Gopse Company if I renamed myself to Park Gop-se...
Sejun was disappointed.
However,
“Hey, where do you work?”
“...Gop-se Company....”
It was a relief for the employees who had to go around saying their company name.
“Guys, let’s go home.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Sejun gathered his companions and headed back home.
[You have safely brought the [Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who was left behind in <Urman> to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]
[You have completed the quest.]
[As a reward for completing the quest, evolution experience for <Earth Lv. 7> has increased by 2%.]
A quest completion message appeared in front of Sejun upon arriving at the Kindergarten of Destruction.
And then,
[You are in possession of the Seal of <Urman>, which proves ownership of <Urman>.]
“Huh?”
What seal?
An unexpected message appeared as well.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Theo, felt a pull toward it and kept it, meow!”
With a smug look, Theo pulled out a giant rock, which upon closer inspection was a seal. It was so big it looked like a rock.
“Oh. Vice Chairman Theo, good job!”
“Puhuhut. How good a job did I do, meow?!”
“Very, very much! As much as the universe!”
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, knew I was good at this, meow!”
“Yeah. You’re so great.”
Thanks to Theo, Sejun acquired ownership of <Urman>.
[The level 10 world <Urman> should be incorporated as a satellite world, but Earth's level is too low.]
[<Urman> has been designated as the first in line for Earth’s satellite world queue.]
Because Earth’s level was low, it couldn’t be incorporated immediately as a satellite world.
“Guys, we have a new friend, come say hi. This is Ujab.”
“H...Hi. I’m Ujab....”
When Ujab shyly introduced himself
"I won't say hello! Because of you, Teecher-nim didn't feed Nene breakfast!"
Nene threw a fit. There was food that Sejun had prepared in advance so they did not have to eat Aileen's cooking, but Sejun did not feed Nene by moving the spoon like an airplane. That was the special treat.
"Nene. You shouldn't be like that to a friend. Teacher will feed you later, so say nice to meet you to Ujab."
“Helmang is angry too!”
"What? Why are you angry too? First, calm down...."
As Sejun soothed the angry Children of Destruction and introduced Ujab,
[You have successfully passed the arduous trial of finding all 28 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction], candidates to be the next Creator God.]
[As a reward for passing the trial, you have acquired the <Title: Grand Mentor of the Next Creator Gods>.]
Another message appeared.
<Title: Grand Mentor of the Next Creator Gods>
→ Grants absolute power in the worlds ruled by the next Creator Gods.
The title he received this time was quite good.
And then,
“Hehehe. This is it.”
Who would dare touch him now that he’s the Grand Mentor of the next Creator Gods?
Looking at the title description, Sejun unknowingly made a smug face.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, your face is seriously rotting! It’s critical, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. This time it’s a fatal!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, that face is too dangerous!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Don’t die!]
“Heehee. Daddy, it’s dangerous!”
The group rushed toward Sejun’s face with cheerful expressions, completely different from their words.
“Teecher-nim, are you dying?! Don’t die!”
“Huaang! Teecher-nim, don’t die!”
“Quick, let’s step on his face too!”
The Children of Destruction misunderstood and raised their feet toward Sejun’s face.
“Ujab, Teecher-nim is in danger, so you step on him too!”
“Huh? Okay!”
“This is fun! Ujab, don’t you think it’s fun too?”
“Yeah! Ujab thinks it’s fun too!”
As Ujab and the Children of Destruction stepped on Sejun’s face, they quickly became one in spirit.
“Hey. I’m telling you it’s not fun....”
Sejun grumbled, but still let them step on his face.
[Teacher Park Sejun of the Kindergarten of Destruction has brought great joy to 28 [Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction].]
[As a reward for giving great joy, your lifespan has increased by 280 hours.]
[As a reward for giving great joy, you have obtained 56 billion Tower Coins.]
[As a reward for giving great joy, <Earth (Lv. 7)>'s evolution experience has increased by 1.12%.]
The effect of getting his face stepped on was certainly effective.
Some time later.
When the kids no longer found stepping on his face fun,
“Let’s eat now.”
“Yes!”
He got up and prepared dinner.
Thus, a noisy day at the Kindergarten of Destruction came to an end, having successfully brought in all the students.
***
A month after bringing Ujab.
[You have arrived on the 66th floor of the Black Tower.]
Sejun was walking with his companions to the Wizard’s Association to attend Ute’s fifth lesson.
“Vice Chairman Theo, don’t you think Master Ute will be surprised at how rapidly my skills have improved?”
“Puhuhut. Not at all, meow!”
“What do you mean not at all?! I’ve improved so much!”
“Puhuhut. You haven’t improved that much, meow!”
Sejun and Theo were bickering as usual today.
As the two chatted while walking,
“Hohoho. Sejun-nim, welcome.”
Ute, who had come out to greet them in advance, welcomed Sejun.
“Master Ute, you came out to greet us again? You don’t have to.”
“Puhuhut. Master Ute, good to see you, meow!”
“Hohoho. Nonsense. You’ve given me too much for me not to greet you. Besides, this old man has nothing else to do, so don’t scold me too much.”
"No. You don't have to put it that way...."
“Hohoho. Let’s go. This way.”
Sejun and his companions received Ute's gracious guidance as they moved to the magic training hall where they would have their lesson.
Sejun-nim, thank you so much.
Ute was sincerely grateful to Sejun. Because of becoming Sejun’s master, Ute’s treatment within the Wizard’s Association had drastically improved for the better.
First, he earned the title of honorary advisor, which allowed him to dine in fine restaurants, freely read any books in the library, and even gained the opportunity to teach entry-level magic to novice wizards.
“Lower-level wizard Pirua greets Honorary Advisor Ute-nim. I’m sorry about last time.”
“We’re sorry too!”
“Hohoho. It’s all in the past. I’ll forget it, so you should too.”
“Y-Yes... thank you....”
The bullying from lower-level wizards had also disappeared.
Thus, Ute had become a high-ranking member of the Wizard’s Association, but he still continued doing chores like cleaning the auditorium and laundry as he had before.
For Ute, those chores were part of his magical training and his joy.
As a result, some senior wizards believed that Ute’s magic control ability had developed through doing chores, and now all lower-level wizards were forced to do chores.
***
"Damn it! I, who should become a great archwizard, am washing rags!"
Splat.
Marcel, who was washing a rag using a water spell, threw it in frustration with a red face.
“This is all that old Ute’s fault!”
“That’s right! Because of that geezer, we’re stuck washing rags! I bet he told the senior wizards to make us suffer!”
A few lower-level wizards agreed with Marcel and slandered Ute.
However,
“What are you talking about? Master Ute is doing chores with us too. And when you use magic while doing chores, your magic control really improves.”
“Yeah. Thanks to that, I hit 9 out of 10 in the Wind Arrow test this time and got an A.”
“Really? In last month’s test, you only hit 3!”
“While cleaning using wind magic, I gained a better understanding of wind spells, so my accuracy with Wind Arrow improved.”
Most were favorable toward Ute.
“Tch! Already sucking up to Ute!”
Marcel clicked his tongue in irritation and stormed outside.
Just then,
“Huh?!”
Marcel’s eyes caught sight of Ute moving together with Sejun.
If Ute disappears, I will not have to do this kind of menial work and can devote myself only to magic again, right?
At the same time, a vile thought came to Marcel’s mind. To be honest, he had spent most of the time that he was supposed to devote to magic dozing off.
I will make it so you cannot even set foot in the Wizard's Association.
Marcel ground his teeth and quietly followed behind Ute.
Marcel’s plan was simple.
When Ute demonstrated magic, he planned to use his excellent skills to interfere with Ute's magic, causing it to go out of control or hijacking the spell to harm Sejun.
Then Ute would take responsibility and be expelled from the Wizard's Association.
“Kekekek.”
Marcel wore a sinister smile as he watched for an opportunity.
And then,
"Hohoho. Sejun-nim, shall we try making a triangle with a magic thread this time? One tip I can give you is that if you just pay attention to each corner, you can easily make a triangle...."
Now!
Marcel injected his own magic power into Ute’s magic power as Ute demonstrated in front of Sejun. He inscribed the formula of Fireball, a fire attribute spell.
Fwoosh.
Ute, who was demonstrating a triangle with magic thread, saw that his magic power suddenly caught fire.
“Ack!”
Panicking, he began controlling the magic power that was about to explode.
And then,
“Hohoho. With this much magic power....”
I can try that.
Smiling, he released his magic power toward the sky.
Whoooosh.
The Fireball that rose into the sky separated into small flames and
Boom!
Kwagwagwang.
It exploded in a chain.
"Huh? Master Ute, that's cool and all, but why the sudden fireworks?"
Sejun felt puzzled as he watched the explosions bursting in the sky. It seemed he did not notice at all that Marcel had intervened in Ute’s magic power.
However,
“Meow?! Chairman Park, you did not feel it, meow?! Someone made Master Ute’s magic power go out of control and tried to attack Chairman Park, meow!”
Theo had felt it.
“Huh? Me?!”
“That is right, meow! This is an assassination attempt aimed at Chairman Park, meow! Great Detective Sherlock Sejun, let us catch the culprit, meow!”
Theo channeled his inner Famous Assistant Theoson.
In the meantime,
“Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-The power of gravity....”
How dare you try to harm Sejun-nim in the Wizard's Association!
As the furious Iona tried to drop a meteor on the place where Marcel had been,
“Ionason, hold back!”
“Ionason, hold back, meow!”
Sejun and Theo hurriedly stopped her.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I am sorry. I got too worked up. Magic power scan.”
Iona calmed down and hurriedly used a magic power scan, but
I'm going to die!
Marcel had already fled in a panic after seeing Iona’s stage-five Kyoo of rage.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Great Detective Cunan is on the case!]
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Great Detective Kapang will also help out!]
“Great Detective Taechoping is also on the case!”
Cuengi, Blackie, and Taecho also pulled out detective hats and put them on, preparing to play detective.
And then,
“The culprit is inside here!”
Sejun confidently shouted the famous detective's line and began wandering around the Wizard's Association to catch the culprit.
What should I do? If I get caught, I will definitely die...
Marcel was in danger of having his life taken after trying to drive Ute out.
