2000 Years Of Magic History In My Head-Chapter 109

Episode 109: Unconventional Walk (1)

Behind the camera, people responded with rage. The crew’s expressions were stained with shock, and the PD sent a hand signal demanding that they focus on the live broadcast. Their reaction was well understood. Kang Min-hyuk, the protagonist of the magical revolution, creating a tower was groundbreaking news. It was a game-changer. Like a Pied Piper, Kang Min-hyuk could lead the crowds along the path he was making.

Within the grave silence, Kang Min-hyuk finally opened his mouth, “As you all know, I was a prosecutor. Since I was a child, I have been wielding my sword, and I started magic at a late age. Do you know what I thought after my initial foray into magic? Magic is a discipline that requires a lifetime of study, but I thought it was less open than fortified warriors – more secretive. The magical academia exchanged with each other but closed their mouths where necessary. The academic conference became a stage where virtually everyone who took the stage did so to boast. A whopping 100 years have passed since monsters first appeared. The fortified warriors developed each other’s strength by fighting and bleeding side-by-side, eventually reaching their present position. However, the sorcerers are trapped in their own bubbles and are unable to escape the frame of oppression.”

Many of them were naturally developing civilizations because many people were concentrated, but the monopolization of power seemed to be a pervasive goal.

Some magical forces retained an essence of purity, but magic wasn’t a field that could thrive on that alone.

“People said it. It’s crazy to present great magical knowledge as a public good. Do you know why I was doing that? I wanted to show it was possible. Don’t just hide the results of studies; open them to the world with me! I hoped that the academic world of magic would develop. But what was the result? From some point on, they demanded magical knowledge, taking it for granted. They didn’t present their knowledge unless it was a place where they could show off their strength, and yet, they were eager to seize mine.”

The original intentions behind magical conferences were good and aimed at advancements, but not anymore. The forces that had won the academic competitions gained a considerable reputation, but the academic conference’s quality was falling day by day.
