The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me-Chapter 176

If someone said Another League only gained a positive image due to the recent demon incident, it was absolutely a lie. Rather, thanks to the fact that the ‘demon’ catastrophe was caused by magic, Another League, which specializes in magic, and a place where numerous magicians gathered, was criticized a lot.

Until now, Another League was only a small to medium-sized guild, and the media couldn’t attack them because they had never been directly involved in controversy and only showed a positive image by spreading magic and mugong to the public. However, because of the recent case, the media finally had something they could bite into, and took their shot to Another League.

Of course, Yekaterina, as the one who led Avon into the trap, was aware things could turn out this way. That’s why as soon as she saw the media start to throw their accusations towards Another League, she put her contingency plan in place.

First, she asked Taylor to keep quiet for the time being. Because Yekaterina and Yoo Seodam would never answer the media’s question, they would naturally switch their interview target and aim at Taylor Nine, who was relatively active and talkative, and would nitpick all of her words.

-Hunter Taylor, the Russian government said it is necessary to be wary of magic, and expressed their opinion that strong international control should be exercised towards it… What do you think of this?

However, as Taylor had already experienced being reported of defamation from numerous places because of her fact-bomber persona, she had a clear grasp of how to keep the media quiet. She took the mic of the reporter who suddenly came to her as soon as she cleared a dungeon by the request of China and then she exaggeratedly made a sad expression.

– Everywhere I go, it blooms…

To the reporter’s surprise, Taylor didn’t answer her question but started to sing. It was a classic Korean song from the early 21st century which even Koreans did not know well.

‘Wait, Hunter Taylor! What are you doing now!’

Since the interview was broadcasted live, the reporter swiftly tried to steal the microphone back from Taylor’s hand, but to no avail. Afterall, how could a normal person win against a SS rank superhuman?

Taylor’s song then went beyond the climax as she took the camera from the cameraman’s hand and used it as if she was using her phone to take a selfie.

– That’s it~ I’m doing well~ Because it’s my life, because it’s my way~

That ‘interview’ then became a headline not only in China but also Korea and became a major issue in many foreign countries as well. Of course, the one who got criticized in the end wasn’t Taylor but the Chinese broadcast station who tried to interview a hunter who had no ties at all to the sensitive political topic that occurred.

And because of Taylor’s unnecessarily good singing skill, a strange situation unfolded in which she secured a fairly large fan base among netizens. In addition, world-famous singer Hellony tagged Taylor on her stargram post and suggested they form a duet together. Though, It was neatly reject with a light ‘fuck off’ by Taylor which then also become the hottest topic of the internet for a while.

Of course, while all those things happened, Another League didn’t just play around. Thanks to the diversion Taylor made, Yekaterina gained enough time to clean up and make an official announcement.

The content was simple. It was ‘Are you scared of magic because you don’t know about it? Then I will teach you! Sign up for my class and you’ll become my student too!’

Of course, some foreign correspondents responded to her announcement with a written article in Korean on SNS. They didn’t mince their words as they expressed their concern such as ‘Yekaterina used the incident of demon as a viral marketing for her magic academy’ or ‘The public is being deceived’.

However, unfortunately for them, Taylor directly went to their account and replied, ‘Even if you want to learn, don’t come, you bastard!’, which was agreed by a lot of her fans. Thus, the reporter had no choice but to delete the post.

“Anyway, things are going smoothly. Now, I just need to decide the material for the lecture. Unlike the YTube video, I will directly teach them in the lecture, so I’m a little nervous…” Yekaterina said. Lately, life has been so enjoyable for her. In addition, when Yoo Seodam provide a bizarre idea to the academy’s blueprint such as a magically operated cone hat vacuum cleaner, talking bulletin board which sometimes become angry, floating magic light, and magically moving walls and doors, the thought ‘this is a business that would certainly become successful’ always kept her awake at night.

All of those ideas stemmed from the fact that Yoo Seodam had visited several magic academies while traveling across numerous dimensions.

And Yekaterina made sure that most of his ideas would actually be used in the magic academy.

“How could you think of such an idea?”

“Well, I’m just that good.”

“Yes?”

If there was such a thing as a cross dimension copyright law, Yoo Seodam would surely get arrested.

Now, the only thing left for Yoo Seodam was the textbook production. He intends to borrow a little bit of knowledge from another world since the books in the Library of the White Witch were unkind and weren’t a good fit for a textbook.

‘Should I just ask Aracelli?’

* * *

Of course, it was foolish to go to another world just because I had to make a textbook. However, I could do that because the time to receive a new mission had finally come.

Even though lately I’ve been spending my time in another world, I wasn’t there because of any ‘request’, and for me, who had signed a contract to receive requests on a regular basis, it’s time for me to fulfill my parts of the contract.

And while I was there, it would be nice to spend some time with Aracelli, who was very kind to me.

<Seodam Hunter-nim. I have selected some mission with greatest urgency for you.>

“Is that so? I was thinking of going to a magic academy, though.”

<I also know about Seodam Hunter-nim’s recent situation, and I think you’ve made a good decision. However, because there are some worlds which was in a very dangerous state right now, I can’t really help it.>

“Is that so? Well, to be honest, it didn’t matter much. I can go wherever you want.”

Since I was in the position to receive compensation after finishing the mission, I had no intention of complaining about the workplace. It’s because I’d known since I was a kid that the world doesn’t always work the way I want it to.

Besides, I don’t even have to go to an academy. With Aracelli’s vast knowledge, she could make any textbook without needing any external help. For that reason, I only brought a laptop, a blank textbook, and an ink pen.

‘Every time I meet her, it seems like I keep asking her for something. I’ll have to treat her to some beef later.’

I don’t know whether Aracelli likes beef or not. But from what I know, 90 out of 100 people would like beef, so I’m sure Aracelli would also like it.

“Show me the mission list.”

<I understand.>

There seems to be an unidentified title at the end, but I have no idea what it is. I think I’ve seen it before…

<Considering the flow of the story, you can think of it as a genre from Japan.>

“Is that so…”

It seems it was a dangerous world to go to. Even if I had to go to that world in the end, I wouldn’t do it right now because it was a genre I was unfamiliar with. A familiar regression genre would be better, but the difficulty level in that world was strangely high.

“Then… Shall we go to the tutorial?”

<I’ll show you the summary.>

–

<Summary>

A giant Tutorial Tower which suddenly appeared in the world.

In this place, where races from many worlds gathered…

[Activating skill.]

[Skill ‘Contractor of the Tutorial Fairy’ has been activated.]

I will monopolize this world

–

“Well….”

Just like usual, I couldn’t really guess what’s waiting for me in that world through the summary alone. However, what was certain is that the protagonist was not a returner and he possessed a skill which was different from others.

Considering the fact that the fairy plays a very important role in the tutorial, signing a contract with them must have been a pretty overpowered ability.

“Okay. Let’s go right away.”

[Moving to the 1st floor of the Tutorial Tower, the world where level 139 protagonist ‘Wizen’, resides.]

[10···9····8····.]

The world shook, all the landscape in front of my eyes flickered, and before long, a gigantic tower came into my sight.

[2····1····0]

[Moving complete.]

[You have become the challenger of the ‘Tutorial Tower’.]

And when I woke up, I was standing in a certain square. The floor under my feet was coloured in the mixture between black and white tiles just like a chess board, giving off a strange atmosphere. And when I looked around me, I saw a lot of people wearing white t-shirts and gray shorts, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

[Granting the skill ‘Tutorial Status Window (Temporary)’]

[Your tutorial level is 1.]

When I looked up, I saw a pillar rising endlessly into the sky as if it was supporting the whole world.

“What, what!”

“Where is this?”

“What have you done to me!”

Judging from their reaction, it seems most of the people who came here have been kidnapped by the tower. In other words, this place was where the beginners gathered.

‘Where’s the protagonist, by the way? I don’t think he’s here in the beginner area since his level is pretty high.’

<That’s right. He is probably on the higher floor. However, I can’t send you directly to higher floor since the only way to climb this Tutorial Tower is to be a challenger.>

‘I see.’

It couldn’t be helped then. I only need to steadily climb the tower.

“Let me go! Hey! Let me go! I have important things to do!”

“Hey! Where is this? Uh,,, huuuuhhh…”

Suddenly, in the midst of confusion, something suddenly jumped out with a boom from the hazy fog which appeared in the air. It was a rabbit-like creature which reminds me of a rabbit from Alice In Wonderland. It wore a monocle and watch on its wrist while its body was wrapped in a purple and red formal suit

“Nice to meet you everyone! I am a Tutorial Fairy. Now, shall we start the tutorial?”

The square was completely silent at the words of the rabbit… No, the ‘Tutorial Fairy’. However, moments later, the silence was broken as a middle-aged man who looked like a mouse suddenly screamed.

“What nonsense is that? Do you know who I am? Do you think you’ll be fine after doing this to me? Send me back now!”

The fairy only smiled at the man’s outburst. And somehow, I was able to predict what would happen next, so I hardened my face.

Puck!

“Huh…”

“Wha…whaatt!!!”

The middle-aged man’s head swelled up like a balloon before it exploded. Scattering its bits and pieces into the surrounding.

“This is why I hate humans. By the way? Is there anyone else who wants their head to explode?”

Many people plopped down to the ground. And there’s also a lot of people who sobbed and faint. But no one said anything anymore to the fairy. The confusion and anger they have had has been cleared up by the simple action of the rabbit.

“No one? That’s good. There’s a slight setback, so shall we start over?”

Only

The fairy then began to explain the rules of the Tutorial Tower. As I listened to it, I suddenly remembered something. I opened my inventory and saw a worn-out diary there. It was a diary written by the principal of the haunted magic academy I went to last time, Malea.

‘Don’t tell me…’ I took out the diary and opened its first page with a suspicious feeling in my heart.

[On the first floor of the tutorial, someone died. His head tragically exploded. It was a death with no cause nor meaning but no one dared to speak of it…(omitted)… The tutorial fairy then started the game. The rules were simple, the challenger only needed to pass through a maze full of obstacles and monsters.]

“The rules are simple! You just need to pass through the maze behind you. What do you think? It’s easy, isn’t it?”

The words I read in the diary unfolded in reality.
