Chapter 33: Starting a Business
Yerica dedicated herself to magical training every day.
Her grandfathers magic was so impressive that it wasnt easy to understand it all at once.
However, through repeated practice and training, she gradually gained a deep understanding of the magic.
My weight reduction magic has become stronger than before. But wont this cause problems for the business?
Yerica knew that Ethans goal was not merely about the business.
Nor was her goal to be the sole responsible person for this business.
The business served as a stepping stone for various other objectives.
Therefore, this business should be able to continue even without them, with the involvement of other mages.
Other mages wont be able to perform weight reduction magic like mine.
But cant other mages perform lightweight magic like the one before?
Well, its not that difficult. But Im not sure if other mages would even want to do it.
Mages were revered beings.
Once they reached a certain level, they made various attempts to enhance their magical prowess.
To mages, a business venture would be like making potions. They dont even consider weight reduction magic.
Weigh reduction magic itself was not that difficult. The magic itself was quite simple. The challenging part was maintaining the balance while performing weight reduction magic.
That was why mages considered weight reduction magic to be trivial. Mastering easy magic didnt necessarily help in learning advanced magic.
Thats true. But thats about the esteemed mages. Were not aiming for those kinds of mages.
What do you mean?
Both mages and swordsmen have some underlying commonalities.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Yerica widened her eyes and looked at Ethan.
Recognitionright?
Yeah, thats right. We all want recognition. Everyone does.
In fact, it was something that applied not just to mages or swordsmen.
But where do you plan to find these unrecognized mages? If theyre not recognized, it means they lack skill, and at that level, they probably cant even perform weight reduction magic properly.
Although weight reduction magic might seem easy, it required a certain level of control.
It wasnt something that inexperienced mages could easily accomplish.
Our clients are very discerning. Even mercenaries and knights can sense the slightest imbalance.Updated chapters at novelhall.com
During her short time practicing weight reduction magic, Yerica had received a lot of feedback from knights and mercenaries.
That feedback stimulated Yerica and fueled her dedication to mastering magic even further.
If we dont achieve the right balance, they wont come back for a second time.
Therefore, Ethans plan was essentially impractical.
I know all of that.
However, Ethan was already aware of Yericas concerns.
Ive experienced it all.
He knew from firsthand experience that mediocre mages couldnt properly use weight reduction magic.
Im going to the Magic Tower.
The Magic Tower? Isnt that a place for esteemed mages? They probably wouldnt even want to participate in a business focused on weight reduction magic in the first place, right? Ah!
As she spoke, she quickly understood Ethans intentions.
Yeah, the failures of the Magic Tower. They have the skills, but their tastes are unique, so theyve never gained recognition in their lifetime. Ill bring them.

Ruanduize Magic Tower.
This tower was primarily occupied by mages specializing in the fire element and boasted the largest scale among the towers located on the outskirts of the continent.
Puong-!
Another failure, Marakan!
T-There should be no reason for failure this time
Why do you keep attempting things that never work? Thats why you cant advance to the third rank. Look at those in the first rank. I dont know if they can be called mages, just like you. They only know how to fail. Dont you have something youre good at? Just stick to your ordinary research on fire magic.

My magic? But my magic is
Before Marakan could finish his sentence, his friend interrupted.
Seriously, I cant believe this. No matter how mediocre of a mage my friend is, talking about a business? Mages have their pride. Mages pursue their beliefs, not money. They dedicate themselves to magic
Uren.
Marakan cut off his friends words.
Step aside.
With Marakans firm words, Urens face fell.
Do whatever you want. After all, I bothered to take your side.
Grumbling, Uren left the room, and Marakan lowered his head.
He was feeling excited.
Had there ever been a time like this before?
No one had ever told him that they needed him.
Are you aware of what my magic is like?
Yes, I know. Youre researching fire-based magic. Not the typical offensive magic, but rather the study of attribute enchantment, correct?
Yerica looked at Ethan with surprised eyes.
She thought he had just barged in, but he had already finished his information gathering.
If you already know all that, why do you need my magic?
As I mentioned earlier, I am interested in that magic. I want to work with you, Marakan.
Can you discuss business with a mediocre mage like me?
As his excitement subsided and his head cleared, Marakan began to doubt if he was being mocked. He couldnt fully believe that his magic was truly needed.
Moreover, a business venture?
Magic, for a mage, was not meant to be used in such a way.
Yerica.
Yes.
Yerica snapped her fingers, and suddenly flames began to spread around them. A wall of fire was created.
Fi-Fire Wall without chanting?
A mage of at least the 3rd rank, or even higher. It was clear from the display.
Our mage here is the centerpiece of the business. You can imagine what it means to have a mage of this caliber involved in a business venture.
Im an impressive mage.
Yerica smiled and spoke with a mischievous tone. The more Ethan got to know her, the more he realized she was audacious, more than he initially thought.
And he quite liked that.
What kind of business are you planning?
If youd like to hear the details, please sign here.
Having come this far in the conversation, he couldnt resist finding out what kind of business they had in mind.

Marakan was quite a unique mage.
There were many people searching for Marakan. He was an exceptional Attribute Enchantment NPC.
He was different from the typical Attribute Enchantment NPC. The magic he bestowed didnt have a significant effect.
It merely altered ones appearance, but even that was enough to attract numerous people.
An aura that seemed to be engulfed in flames.
That was the Flame Attribute Enchantment he granted.
It didnt increase resistance to fire or enhance the power of fire-based magic. It simply bestowed a burning aura upon the equipment.
Yet people cheered for his magic.
In essence, Marakan was like a guaranteed winning lottery ticket.
Welcome, Marakan.
Ethan, holding the signed parchment, extended his hand with a smile.
As Marakan shook his hand, he sensed an indescribable hint of danger in Ethans smile.
