Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

Jeron, the second largest city in the Altera Empire.

Do-jin was walking in the middle of Jeron, which is also famous as a magical city.

Instead of the mace he received as a basic reward, a neat longsword hung from his waist.

Apart from the tutorial reward, it was the sword that Instructor Kruger in the Forest of Trials gave him.

He said that he had the most potential and talent among the people he had seen while being an instructor, and he gave it as a gift, saying that he had to test it unconditionally.

[Gatekeeper’s Sword]

Grade: C

Wear restrictions: none

An ordinary iron sword supplied to gatekeepers. Nothing special, but the quality is good.

Attack Power: 12

A mysterious sight was unfolding around Do-jin, who walked while checking out options that were better than the tutorial rewards.

A carriage that moves with the power of mana, not horses, and a magic golem that moves busily to promote a store.

If you turn your gaze a little to the surroundings, the buildings of civilization built with magic, not science, make your eyes dizzy.

Users who have seen the city for the first time are stopping here and there and looking at it as if they were mesmerized.

I also see people who are lost and wandering around.

However, to Dojin, who was a wizard in his previous life, Jeron was quite familiar.

That was the reason why there was no hesitation in Do-jin’s steps through the city.

After going through a shopping street that sells necessary items through the best route, Do-jin arrived at the place of his former job.

El Tomagia, the imperial mage tower towering in the center of Xeron.

The majesty of the structure, which boasts a height that cannot be seen even on modern Earth, was enormous.

However, Dojin’s destination was not this tower.

In the first place, it is El Tomagia that those who are not qualified to enter are not even allowed to approach.

Dojin turned his head away from the tower and looked at the one-story building in the far corner.

Compared to El Tomagia’s Mage Tower, the building looked infinitely shabby.

Namely, it is the reception desk for business trips to the Imperial Mage Tower.

“… Please come.”

As I opened the creaking door and entered, the female wizard sitting at the counter greeted me casually.

Do you want to come, or do you just want to come?

I couldn’t feel the slightest hint of sincerity in the greeting he gave without taking his eyes off the thesis he was reading.

As you can tell just by looking at the work that went into the building, this reception area was a strainer installed outside to prevent idiots from entering the Magic Tower.

It was clear that the woman sitting over there was also one of the lower-level wizards who were seated in turn.

‘Because of this, everyone flocks to the academy.’

In fact, it has been a long time since it has been a long time since users who changed their job as wizards in the Imperial Mage Tower like Do-jin are hardly found now.

Even if you hand out the letter of recommendation you received from the gateway, it is only mandatory to pierce the magic circuit and not provide any support.

On the other hand, in the case of the Imperial Academy, which has emerged as the hottest ex-place, grants the academy student status at the same time as the former.

Then, the user could become a magician student, take basic lectures, and automatically acquire basic magic skills.

However, instead of accepting El Tomagia as a member of the Magic Tower, she had to beg to receive at least one magic skill book.

This was the reason why this branch office, which was one of the wizard former locations, was so quiet in the fifth month since the start of the LOST service.

It’s because no place where you can change your mage job is treated less harshly than here.

However, it was a kind of misunderstanding caused by not knowing that the characteristics of the Academy and El Tomagia were completely different.

‘El Tomagia is not a place where you feed yourself like the academy.’

An academy is basically an institution created for the purpose of education.

Therefore, basic magic is also taught systematically.

You can also stay there and take intermediate and advanced courses if you wish.

Because it is such a place.

However, the purpose of El Tomachia was completely different from the academy.

This is a group of magicians who seek the truth.

It was not a place that fostered talented people, but a place where only magicians needed for El Tomagia were selected as members.

‘It’s much more convenient to change jobs somewhere else, but as long as I can find and eat on my own, El Tomagia and other places are incomparable.’

The academy that feeds you is convenient.

However, if you know how to find and eat it, the return is much bigger this way.

And Do-jin was confident that he would suck the advantage he could get from the Imperial Mage Tower to the very marrow.

Knock knock.

Finishing his thoughts, Dojin tapped the counter lightly.

Only then did the female wizard slightly raise her head.

Seeing him still glancing at the thesis, it seems clear that he is a really proper wizard.

Wizards are basically geeks.

“What are you doing?”

What happened. Of course, I came here to change jobs.

Do-jin, who answered the question to the sorceress inwardly, presented the ‘letter of recommendation’ received as a reward at the gateway.

“Well.”

The sorceress turns over the thesis with a look of regret and checks the letter of recommendation.

“… Definitely a wizard recommendation letter, and the issuer is the adventurer’s guild… A level 10 adventurer… … .”

The sorceress’ gaze, which was quickly checking the items, was fixed on the word ‘Gateway’.

The opponent who came through the gateway is Regenian. In other words, it means a hunter from another world who comes back to life even if he dies and catches and kills monsters.

The woman who was thinking that she should finish it quickly and send it away changed her mind.

If the opponent is a Regenian who came through the gateway, it would be right to give him some advice.

With a sense of minimal duty as a Rostanian, the woman gave advice she would not have normally given.

“But. I’m not a member of the Imperial Mage Tower, but… It would be better to change jobs at the academy rather than here.”

Even as she spoke, the woman’s hand rummaged through a package of magic stones processed for circuit opening.

It is because it has become a habit to do something without wasting time.

“El Tomagia has no interest at all unless it is someone who can contribute to El Tomagia’s magical development. Whether it’s someone who crossed the gate like you or whatever. On the other hand, with this letter of recommendation, the academy will provide basic training and some support. Wouldn’t that be better for you?”

The woman gave her own advice, but Do-jin could not accept her advice.

Do-jin had a clear reason why he had to change jobs here in his own way.

“it’s okay.”

“… Well, I didn’t think you would listen to my advice. I am also a wizard, but wizards must be stubborn.”

Phew. The woman sighed and held out her hand.

In response, Do-jin also held out his right hand.

“Breaking a circuit, where did you hear about it?”

“At the gateway.”

In Do-jin’s right hand, who gave a rough answer, he placed a magic stone with a magic circle on it that the sorceress picked out.

After that, he chanted something, and with his thumb and forefinger, he shattered the magic stone.

Then, the magic stone broke and the sharp mana released hurt Dojin’s hand.

tingling pain. The small pain was not alleviated unless set aside, so the sensation of blood flowing was clear.

But that’s for a while.

Soon, the sensation of something cool running down the inside of the hand replaced the pain.

“That’s Okay.”

At most, the circuit to be used when storing and activating 1-star magic was easily broken through.

A class item was added to the status window, and the occupation was displayed as a wizard.

While checking the status window, the woman was already fixing her eyes on the thesis.

Whether Do-jin was a Regenian or whatever, he had the attitude that his work was over and that his work was over.

‘Is it starting from here?’

However, Dojin’s business had just begun.

Knock knock.

Do-jin, who drew her attention again, asked with confidence.

“I heard there are additional benefits for those who are specially recommended.”

“Um… … .”

The woman’s eyebrows narrowed as she moaned vaguely.

“Nothing… I haven’t heard anything Actually, I’m not in charge here. Still, I think I can give you a basic magic skill book. There must be a reason why it is stuck like that.”

Then she pointed to the side.

I see a bookshelf filled with 1-star magic skill books by type.

In fact, even that was precious. Because it is an item that instantly infuses knowledge about magic the moment you use it and creates a skill.

“How can I get you that? It’s not just typeface, it’s got real magic in it. It is very expensive to buy with money.”

“The skill book is done, but I want to use the library instead.”

“… … .”

The woman’s movements stopped.

I look at Dojin with slightly cooled eyes.

“What now… … .”

“I said I wanted to use the library.”

“There is no library in El Tomagia? Most of the books are usually kept privately by individual wizards.”

Do-jin put a wedge in the woman who took off the pretense with drowsy eyes again.

“The library I was talking about is the library of Manli.”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Manli’s library. In other words, the place called the Great Library was a treasure house where the magical assets El Tomagia had accumulated over the years were stored.

“… If it’s a joke, I think it’s gone too far. The library is a place where only wizards with at least 7 stars and a blue rank or higher in terms of color are allowed limited access. It’s a forbidden place for someone who has just become a wizard like you.”

In Imperial Mage Tower El Tomaggia, following the colors of the rainbow that symbolizes the path to the truth, the hierarchy is divided into red, orange, yellow, green, green onion, south, purple, and black.

And a wizard who has risen from El Tomagia to ‘Blue’ is at a level where it would not be strange to be the master of a magic tower in the outskirts.

To say that he would enter the library of Manli, which only those like him could afford, was a novice who had just changed his job as a wizard, even if he was a Regenian.

As a woman whose dream is to one day rise to the top of the blue ladder and step into the library of Manri with her own feet, it is only natural to feel uncomfortable.

‘Anyway. Even in a jumbled novel, these idiots get seduced when they use the Library of Manri and the Library of Manri.’

widely. The wizard nervously opened his thesis and lowered his gaze.

It was a gesture that contained the meaning of completely ignoring you from now on.

Not even the slightest hint of kindness remained.

Hana Do-jin was not at all intimidated by the cold attitude of the opponent, but rather proudly pointed to the communication bracelet she wore and said.

“Maybe it’s because there is no proper manual, but ask someone who knows. Obviously, the contract signed between El Tomagia and the adventurer’s guild stipulates that ‘one benefit’ is given to those who are specially recommended. This is part of a contract written by the greatest man of El Tomagia himself.”

“You really… … !”

But to think of even mentioning El Tomagia’s only ‘black rank’.

The woman was upset because she was dumbfounded.

Even so, the reason she couldn’t kick out the man right in front of her was because all strangers who had crossed the gateway were specially recommended by the adventurer’s guild.

The relationship between the tower owner of El Tomagia and the adventurer’s guild is a story so famous that it even became a fairy tale for children to read.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Maybe it’s because the name of the giant popped up so much? She couldn’t make up her mind easily.

‘One in a million, one in a million if what this person is saying is true… … .’

A protest might come from the adventurer’s guild. Then, as a reward for asking a stupid question from above, you could be in such an awkward position that the fire command that will come down is nothing.

The wizard, who had been agonizing over his shaking pupils, finally thought while fiddling with the bracelet.

‘okay. Let’s just ask. Either way, that person is responsible. And honestly… I wonder if it’s really like that.’

The woman who made up her mind stared at Dojin.

“It sounds stupid, but I’ll ask you first. But if you lied, you better be prepared. He’s not light-hearted enough to be joked about. Even if you are a Regenian.”

Dojin smiled lightly and nodded.

There was not a hint of anxiety to be found on his face.

No, rather, it was full of confidence.

because.
