Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 179: Next Mission Details



In the end, I ended up getting killed after challenging the sixth floor. I tried fighting them after grinding for around 50 times on all 4 lower floors. However, it is later proven that it is quite hard for me to tackle the sixth floor. I lost all of my lives on the sixth floor due to the harsh attacks it gives out. After I lost all four of my remaining lives, when I respawn, I am back outside of the tower. Blue is waiting for me outside the tower and is looking amused.

"I thought you will be grinding like a madman? How come you are already back in here?"

"Don't ask me, I am pissed so don't ask what is obvious."

"Hahaha, just try again tomorrow. You don't have to be so pissed about it."

"I can enter this tower again after 24 hours, right? Then remind me if the time limit for the entry to the tower is up. I need to defeat that gargoyle whatever it takes!"

"Alright, alright. Now that you have gotten a little bit stronger, then you should return to reality. You still need some preparations for the auction and the mission right? Then you should get there immediately."

Blue snaps her fingers and I was transported back to the real world.

...

The moment I blinked, I returned to the real world. Looking at the time, not a single second pass by when I was inside the tower. Which means it is similar in structure to the Training Room. The only difference between the tower and the Training Room is that I can stay however long I wanted in the latter than the former which limits my stay if I die inside five times.

My mana flow seems much stronger than before too and I think my body seems much stronger than before? I can't test it right now but there is that feeling in there that putting it to words to describe is hard. 

"If I can grind every day into the Tower of Babel, I can get stronger easily, while on the training room, I can also train my magic spells and skills to master their usage in case I have a hard time mastering them."

Blue started speaking on my phone. "This is your chance to get stronger and tackle hard enemies. That way, you can try and beat up the two celestial beast trials soon enough."

The Celestial Beast Trials. Last time, I managed to clear the Byakko and Suzaku trial, I still haven't cleared the Genbu and Seiryuu trials so a little bit of preparation will help me since these trials are hard as hell. Obtaining their inheritance will be beneficial to me in the future and since I can access the trials once I am worthy enough to challenge it, I just needed to get stronger and stronger to gain the worth to try the trials.

"Don't be too greedy if you can't clear it. Take your pace and get yourself accustomed to your abilities. The Tower of Babel might have increased your stats but it might have increased too much that one mistake might cost you the lives of your comrades. Try to see if your magic has increased its power too much or still the same as usual."

"I will remember that."

"By the way, isn't it time for you to inquire about the mission in exchange for the participation in the auction and bidding on the medicine?"

"Ah, I almost forgot about that. If I remember right, the client is already added to the chat group. I just have to direct message him and ask for the mission details. But what is the name of the client again?"

"You should ask Rena first. I don't think I know the name of the client when Rena told you about it."

"Maybe Rena-san forgot it, let me chat her real quick. Open the app, please."

"The hell, Kazuma? You are treating me like SIRI again."

"Nah, it's the same, you are in charge of the phone and sometimes I am a bit lazy so can you please do so?"

"..."

...

Shungo Takuya is the name of the client that was requested to take the bidding. According to Rena, he was an exceptional businessman in the magician world even though he is just a normal human. I was a human too but was dragged into the magician world and ended up becoming one of them. On the other hand, Takuya Shungo is the son of two magicians. He avoided using magic since he was a kid because he wanted to be a businessman in the future and he doesn't want to be in trouble always so he wanted to keep his normal life.

He ended up becoming a businessman but as someone connected to magic, he still cannot escape magic things which resulted in him becoming a businessman in the magician world. His connection with the magic is not so easy to be severed.

According to Rena, his name here is MoneyMaker which is precise since he is a businessman. Searching for the name of Takuya in the chat group, I finally spotted his name which has a profile pic of a paper cash bill with wings, and clicked it to send a personal message. He is currently online so getting a response will be much faster.

...

Chat Killer: Hello, Takuya-san. This is Kazuma. I presume Rena-san already told you about me?

MoneyMaker: Of course, I heard from you. You have a good reputation in the Magician world and one of the promising new magicians we ever had.

Chat Killer: Then, I would like to discuss the mission that Rena-san mentioned in exchange for buying the medicine that will be auctioned.

MoneyMaker: Alright then, let's move to the little subgroup chat where the two magicians that will accompany is already invited. Please click the link sent to you so that I can move the conversation to the sub chat.

Takuya sent a link to me which immediately sent me on a sub chat where only Takuya, the two other magicians, and I can know the conversation. Checking on the two magicians that were with me, I realize they are not the usual magicians who chat on the chat group. Although I am not frequently chatting on the chat, I am quite familiar with those guys who keep the chat occupied even those new names that seem to have just entered the chat group. They must be new guys or they are just lurkers.

MoneyMaker: Looks like everyone is in. I will now give the details for the mission. Is everyone online? Please say yes or a thumbs-up emoji.

Chat Killer: :thumbsup:

Dragonpalm: :thumbsup:

MindReaderAddict: Yes, and also :thumbsup:

MoneyMaker: Alright then, here are the details. This mission cannot be shown to others since this will be a confidential one. Only a few people knew the details of this mission including the higher-ups. The others are not allowed to know the contents of this mission.

Dragonpalm: How come this is a confidential matter? This is the first time something like this has been issued. I never received anything like this before. :thinking:

MoneyMaker: There are other confidential missions but lately, there are no missions that are on that degree for it to be labeled confidential. Now, it was labeled by the higher-ups that this mission is very, very bad to be labeled in the public so it is now labeled as confidential. The mission difficulty is also labeled as SS which means it will be a really hard mission.

MindReaderAddict: Is this the reason why we are the ones called into this mission?

MoneyMaker: Yes. Your special abilities are what we are looking forward to this mission. You three are specifically mentioned to take on this mission.

Dragonpalm: I understand MindReaderAddict to be with us on the mission but who is this Chat Killer? I never heard of him before and his or her exploits.

MoneyMaker: I specifically picked him out for this mission. You can ask him for the specifics of his achievements since it's a little bit longer.

MindReaderAddict: His achievements are long? Is this guy the rumored one? You know, the one named Kazuma, I think?

Dragonpalm: Kazuma? Aaaahhh... that guy. So that guy is here eh... That newbie who just lucked out on most of his missions and luckily gained all the honors for them eh?

MindReaderAddict: What the hell are you talking about? I heard he earned those praises by his strength!

Dragonpalm: A beginner and on top of that, a complete novice to magician things? I don't think so. You can just tell us the truth @Chat Killer that you just suck into the others and let them handle all the things to be done and I will stop.

This Dragonpalm is quite cocky for a magician. This is the first time I encountered someone like him in the chat group but this is not the first time I encountered someone with behavior like his. This kind of behavior is something that needs constant attention. If he or she does this and tries to provoke the other party, that means he wanted to create chaos and a fight. However, doing so will fuel their arrogance, leaving them babbling things will just cause them to fume in anger. The outcome will be either of those two and honestly, I prefer the latter one which is to ignore him completely. I didn't come here to fight with another guy, I am here to get the details of the mission. That way, he will just continue to fume in anger.
