#070. A young man who pays respect (1)
I had a rough idea of what kind of emotion purple mana represented.
When I see someone who has accomplished something difficult that others find difficult to do.
At that time, purple mana seeped into people’s vessels.
and.
‘It’s a feeling that Niles’s organization members often showed when they saw Niles. It’s also a feeling that the children of Sector 49 showed when they saw me.’
I later learned the name of that emotion through the dictionary.
“honor”
“A feeling of valuing another person’s character, thoughts, or actions.”
Of course, seeing the interpretation did not fully enable me to understand the emotion of respect.
‘Anyway, it’s not an emotion I’ve felt myself.’
It was like a dark silhouette.
The overall shape can be recognized, but the true appearance is hidden.
Woof─!
The purple mana, which had finished moving secretly, stopped in front of Michael’s bowl.
I tried to move forward vigorously to get inside, but was blocked by the solid surface of the bowl.
I tried a few more times, but it was the same.
‘It’s no use.’
Like Philip or Veronica, he was the type of person who couldn’t artificially control his emotions.
What is the replacement standard?
I tried to reason, but the sample size was small, making it difficult to come to a convincing conclusion.
Michael nodded while Ray was feeling regretful.
“I came to ask you a question out of the blue, but thank you for your kind response, Ray. If you don’t mind… .”
“Where is the magic tower?”
“yes?”
“It’s the Magic Tower. I said earlier that it didn’t seem to be from the Magic Tower. Where is it located, and what does it do? Is it related to the City of Wizards?”
Now that you’ve answered the other person’s question, it’s your turn to answer your own.
Michael stuttered in a panicked voice as he was bombarded with questions.
“Okay, wait, wait, I’ll answer each question one by one. First, let me tell you what a place called the Magic Tower is─”
The explanation continued calmly.
First, the Magic Tower is an institution that trains magicians, and it is located in Sector 35.
“You can think of it as a kind of educational institution. However, since we only accept those with talent, the number of students is not large.”
“How are the upper sectors different from the lower sectors?”
“Well… I haven’t been to many places, but there is a clear difference in environment and facilities between the upper and lower sectors.”
“How?”
Michael felt a cold sweat run down his back from the persistent and aggressive questioning.
Are you asking because you’re really curious?
What are these things that can be considered basic?
It was a contrast to his amazing magical skills.
As if I had never been to the upper sector before.
‘You definitely don’t come from the upper middle class. Are you from the lower class? Have you been living in one sector your whole life?’
A question arose in the corner of the bowl.
Anyway, the answers continued as best as they could, and thanks to that, Ray was able to obtain a considerable amount of information.
As you go up the Elton River, the gaps between sectors become narrower.
The upper sectors are closer to cities than districts.
Wizards are also rare in the upper sectors.
‘And each sector has a sector leader and administrator.’
He said that they were a kind of civil servants.
Because of this, each sector has the character of a small city that operates independently and has autonomy.
“This phenomenon appears exactly from sector 35. Since I was taken in by Representative John from sector 36, I could clearly feel the difference.”
The moment the name John came to my lips.
The purple mana in Michael’s vessel expanded rapidly.
“There really is no one like him in the world.”
The purple mana expanded into a round ball, trembled, and then burst.
Shards of purple mana fell like starlight throughout the bowl.
And the fragments gathered again in the center, formed a ball shape, and then burst out, repeating the cycle.
Ray asked, unable to take his eyes off the interesting sight.
“I guess you respect me a lot.”
“Of course. There is no one as honest as Representative John and who works hard to make the world a better place.”
Michael continued his story with a proud look in his eyes and voice.
“I come from the poor of Sector 36. I was an orphan wandering the streets. I was taken in by Representative John, who was providing free distribution. Later, thanks to his support, I was able to enter Matap.”
Afterwards, he graduated from Magic Tower and became the exclusive wizard of Kernel Water.
“The president is a person who strives to make the world a better place.”
Donations, charity events, free distribution, etc.
Michael was always by John’s side whenever there was an outside activity.
“There are many thirsty and hungry people in the world. It is the duty of those who have, not to turn a blind eye to this reality, to share and give.”

John’s words resonated deeply with Michael’s soul, and they permeated his life and became his values.
“It is no exaggeration to say that my life has been completed thanks to you, CEO. You are like a father to me.”
Ray, who was listening to the story, tilted his head.
Considering the sentiments John had shown in his bowl at the hotel, it didn’t make sense that he had continued to do things like donate and distribute for free.
“You don’t seem like the kind of person who would do that….”
Ray muttered without realizing it.
Michael’s eyebrows twitched when he heard that.
“What did you just say?”
“I don’t understand.”
“What are you talking about?”
Ray said, recalling the meanings of the words he had seen in the dictionary.
“Donation is an act of giving something to someone without receiving anything in return. The same goes for free distribution. But the John I saw wasn’t the kind of person who would do that.”
“… … .”
“Did you receive anything from the recipients in return for donations or distributions?”
Michael’s face crumpled.
The purple mana that had gathered into a round ball stopped exploding, and red mana began to bloom around it.
“Do you know what you are saying right now?”
There was an unmistakable anger in his voice.
“Was it possible that Mr. John was friends with the recipients of the donations and distributions? Then I can understand. Friends help each other without expecting anything in return─.”
“Representative John! He expects something in return! He is not a person who does good deeds!”
The loud voice that echoed through the square made pedestrians turn to look this way.
“Okay, wait a minute. Over there… .”
“Isn’t it a hawk? H, the size is….”
Where on earth did it come from?
In the air above Michael’s head, three imposing falcons were fluttering their wings.
It clicks its beak as if to announce that it is ready to hunt at any moment.
Taak! Taak!
His head was covered with a metal helmet that covered his eyes.
The claws and beak were also covered with sharp, apparently specially designed covers.
Michael’s coat fluttered in the wind created by the three pairs of wings.
“Apologize now. For what you said.”
Adew.
Michael ground his teeth.
However, his words were currently not reaching Ray’s ears.
‘A hawk just appeared from inside that coat. Is there some kind of magic involved?’
An unexpected topic of inquiry sparked the boy’s curiosity.
“If you don’t apologize right now, my servants will tear your body to pieces like a piece of paper.”
The largest portion of the mana contained in Michael’s two rings, or circles, was purple mana.
‘You said that the circle was created after you met John.’
At the time of its completion, the circle reflects the character of its owner.
Even at that time, it could be guessed that the respect for John was extremely great.
‘And the type of element contained in the purple mana is….’
Elements of manipulation, control, connection, and assimilation.
Ray recalled Graham’s words.
“I know that there are only a very small number of magicians who can handle the elements of manipulation and control. They can use a wide range of animals, from common beasts to dangerous demons. They are said to be able to use a wide range of animals as loyal servants.”
First of all, he didn’t seem very loyal.
The emotions contained in the three eagle bowls were mainly negative, such as anger, pain, and dissatisfaction.
Each of their legs was tied to a chain-like mana stem extending from Michael’s hand.
Perhaps that’s why it seemed like he was being forcefully controlled.
“Oh my god, what is that?”
“Did there get into a fight?”
Pedestrians gathered around, murmuring.
Although we were far away from the ominous atmosphere unfolding between Ray and Michael.
Michael chewed his lips as if he was in a difficult situation.
But it seemed that he was more angry about Ray’s remarks than that, and he did not lift the summons or leave the place, but continued to pressure him.
“This is your last chance. Hurry up….”
“I didn’t say anything wrong.”
That moment.
widely!
Ray kicked the seat.
A falcon, with its wings folded and its body upright, flew out like a bullet, tearing through the air in the space where it had just stood.
Wedge! Thump!
I glanced at him.
Suddenly, a guy who had flown far away was seen circling around the statue in the center of the square, making a large hole in its chest.
The speed and destructive power that a hawk would normally have was not there.
It seemed that this wasn’t the only one enjoying the effects of the strengthening magic.
‘Of course, there is also red mana in Michael’s circle.’
There was no time to think long.
Because the remaining two attacks continued.
Wedge!
Their beaks and talons, clearly filled with hostility, flew in, aiming for vital points such as the eyes and neck.
Wedge! Pitter-patter!
He ran down the square, his face turned, his back bent, and his body twisted.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Run away!”
People ran away in panic.
In an instant, only the two wizards and the three birds of prey were left in the square bathed in the gloomy morning sunlight.
Behind me, a voice was heard.
“How dare you, a lowlife! What do you know about him!”
Purple and red mana flashed in Michael’s bowl.
Respect for John.
Anger towards Ray.
As the two emotions grew, the movements of the predators in the sky became fiercer and more violent.
Boom! Bang!
Wherever the falcons’ steel beaks struck, the pavement shattered into pieces, sending up clouds of dust.
In the midst of this dire situation, the only emotion the boy was feeling at the moment was, ironically, deep interest.
‘So this is how you use missionary magic.’
The boy’s gaze was directed to the purple mana string connecting Michael and the falcon.
The ministry magic seemed very useful.
If we could control animals, we would be able to do many things that would be impossible with the human body.
Like sending a falcon into the sky to search the entire sector at once.
For example, by infiltrating mice into specific locations to extract information.
Of course, there is a prerequisite that sharing feelings and emotions with others must reach a certain level.
‘If only I had purple mana in my circle.’
If that were the case, I could have tried to imitate the ministry magic.
It was possible to secure a certain amount of purple mana through coloring.
However, it was impossible to perform ministry magic at a level that would satisfy that level of quantity.
‘The mana in the air is of poor quality and will obviously not be of any help.’
I felt regretful in many ways.
The appointment time is almost up.
Thinking that he should sort out the situation first, Ray raised the mana of the ring.
