“Dammit, why is a Magic Tower with so much money making their wizards do all the work? The size of this thing is no joke.”

Since the Veritas Magic tower was one of the largest continental Magic Towers, the branches were the same as the size of the small or medium magic towers, but their libraries were made very large.

There were more than 5,000 books in storage.

There were stories that around 10,000 papers have been copied from the main library.

However, none of the books there were important.

More than 5 circle magic books and other valuable research papers were kept further inside the library.

It was placed where only the branch manager and five or more executives of the branch were allowed access, and it was a dream-like place for Peter.

“Dammit, if I knew that I had to be doing works like this, I would have studied very hard.”

If he was good enough as a wizard, then he wouldn’t have received such treatment.

Peter regretted his actions and was talking to himself.

“What are you grunting about?”

“Uh, chief Jameson!”

As the branch’s branch manager appeared, Peter put up a smile.

“Ah, hahaha, why have you come here at this hour?”

“Hmm, I have some research left to do.”

Jameson, who stroked his beard, went past Peter and moved into the library.

Standing at the door of the interior library, he tried to sing a seal to unlock the security spell. Which was when he accidentally dropped a book that he was keeping under his armpit.

“Ugh!”

“Ah, I’ll pick it up.”

Seeing that, Peter ran immediately and picked up the book and the scroll.

He unintentionally saw the contents of the half-rolled unfolded scroll.

The complex mechanical drawings and the magic formulas.

He wasn’t sure what magic skills were placed or what the series was, but the design was very similar to that of the Gigant.

“What are you seeing?!”

Aaaaah!

Jameson screamed on top of his voice and slapped Peter.

“Ouch!”

Peter grabbed his cheek and looked at the branch manager with an uncomfortable expression.

“Tch, how dare you not know your place and try to covet the visions of the magic tower…?”

After taking back the book and scroll from Peter’s hand, Jameson was running his tongue wild with anger.

“No, I was just…”

“Try to steal our work one more time and you’ll get kicked out of the magic tower!”

Jameson opened the door and went inside.

Peter’s face went crumbled like a used toilet paper.

“Ay, this is dirty, really… I need to beat him and his tower.”

“Yeah, that side you should rather be better on.”

It was then when a strange voice came from behind.

Peter hurriedly turned his head to see who else had come in, but no one was there.

‘Was I mistaken… uh?’

The moment when Peter was trying to calm himself.

There was a light shining in the shadow of the bookshelf!

‘Uh, Ghost…?!’

Puck!

Without even a scream, Peter who was shocked at the scene fell down.

The shadow which unintentionally took him down stepped in, and he soon turned into a boy with platinum hair.

He was Luke who had decided to invade the branch.

‘Did they put around 5 security spells? It sure took some time, but not till the level of placing them.’

In the library, a very high-level magic was installed. But for Luke who was once a 9 circle warlock, it was nothing.

Kkkkk!

Almost with the time taken to complete a cup of tea, all the security magic placed was unlocked and the thick door opened.

Luke, seeping into the shadows, quietly took the step in.
