Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Seyya and Real were taken into custody by the platoon captains of the Basil squad, Gris and Eliera, who suddenly appeared.

Seyya tried to unwrap the 'fire chain' that wraps around her body, but it is unwrapped because it is wrapped as if it had been calculated.

It's the same with Real, and he also tries to solve it on his own, but he can't solve it, and exercises magic against the Fire Chain. But Real magic never works.

"A magic seal..."

As Real put it, Eliela's exercised "Fire Chain" Higuri "was mixed with demonic sealing stones, something that would not allow her to use magic on a restrained subject.

Eliela, who brilliantly uses a magic seal stone that might interfere against her own magic if she does poorly, is just the platoon leader of the Basil squad?

Against those two, grease approaches.

"Lord Real, what the hell are you thinking?

"What?

Real not sure what grease question means. As the usual Real would know, he was now losing his cool with the emergence of a favorite enemy (rival) that he had been seeking for years.

Grease sighs when she sees how Real is like that. Grease is older at his age, but as Real is older at the standpoint, it is Grease who uses respectful language.

"What, you're asking me why I used magic all over a city like this, and that's a real battle too. The Thirteen Apostles are not allowed to fight that easily. Not to mention if your opponent is a Leirian magician. How the hell do you explain that?

The Thirteenth Apostle should not so easily show off his power to others. This is not an obligation, but an implicit understanding within the Thirteen Apostles, while at the same time preserving the majesty of the Thirteen Apostles.

The only time the Thirteenth Apostle can use his power is in a great or heinous incident. Using power from time to time, which is also serious, is not praiseworthy. That's what Grease wants to say to Real.

Real cautioned by grease, but he also has a fine say.

"The man there is a magician who was heretically certified by the Seven Wise Men earlier. There is no reason not to fight as the Thirteenth Apostle"

"Is that true?

"Oh."

Grease listens to Real's words and takes a serious look at Seyya. I did not see Seyya as a heretically certified magician in Grease's eyes, but rather thought that as far as the earlier battles were concerned, it would be a valuable force in this country.

But there's no way Real is lying, so Grease understands it's true that Seyya is heretically certified. Sure, if Seyya is heretically certified, it would be a reason for Real to fight, but I still can't tolerate it.

Because such an order has not come down against Real from the Seven Wise Men.

"So is there an order from the Seven Wise Men against Lord Real?

"It's..."

"If it's not out, it's a fine violation."

Grease is right, even if Seyya is heretically certified, Real cannot fight Seyya unless a Seyya captivity, or crusade order, has been issued against Real by the Seven Wise Men.

Real to be pointed out and mouthed by grease.

"Sure, I haven't given orders, but if I were to fight sooner or later, I wouldn't have crossed them sooner"

"That would disturb order."

It's not grease like that on Real, Eliela. In her hand is gripped the tip of the 'fire chain' that binds Seyya and Real.

Real knew that Real's rampage was of the Thirteenth Apostle, disturbing the order of the Episcopal Church, etc. However, Real's desire to fight Seyya quickly blunts his self-control.

"But..."

"That's it."

"Miko?"

It was Miko Cabrera who had been away until earlier that stopped Real trying to make excuses. He stuffed a distance of about twenty meters in an instant, and at the same time cut off the 'fire chain (hiccups)' with demonic sealed stones that were holding him about Real.

Because of its great speed and efficiency, Seiya, who is exercising "wrapped light" in a state of limit exceedance (overlimit), could not be seen either.

Seiya is stunned by Mikokabrera's movements, which could not even be captured by his vision corresponding to divine speed.

"Lord Mikokabrera, stop if you are also an educator of Lord Real. It's too much for anything."

"Sorry, it was a valuable opportunity for Real to grow."

"Nevertheless. I hope there wasn't any damage this time, but there was plenty of space around here."

"That's rude. Will you spare my face here, miss it?

Miko Cabrera, saying so, stares into the eyes of Eliera, who comes to his attention. It feels like a very deep darkness in its eyes, and Eliera is about to be swallowed.

"Okay. We decided we didn't see anything about this, so please don't do this anymore."

"Thank you. Real, I'm leaving."

Mikokabrera deeply gratefully turns her body and tries to get out of the square in the alley. Real looked remorseful about Seyya, but soon followed Miko Cabrera out of the square.

"Are you okay, Eliela?

"Yeah, thanks. Thank you."

"Oh, he won't be alarmed."

Eliela thanking Grease.

Saiya says to both of them that they are still bound by Eliela's "Fire Chain".

"Have you forgotten about me?

"Oh, bad. I forgot."

"Shit, I'm gonna untie you now"

That's what Eliela said, untying the 'fire chain' that was holding Seyya in captivity. Seiya, who has finally been released from custody, looks at the two people who suddenly appear.

"What the hell are you..."

"Whoa, you didn't introduce yourself yet. I am Gris-Greilia, a magician of the Episcopal Church, and head of a unit commanded by the Thirteenth Apostle Basil Eight."

"I'm also the squad leader for the Basil squad, Elielavo Jural. Sorry I suddenly took you into custody earlier."

Heard of the Basil squad, Seyya relieves herself first.

Having been hostile to Real, I knew it wasn't at least Real reinforcements. But I wasn't always on my side, so I'm not completely off guard, Seiya.

"I belong to the Arsenian School of Magic..."

"Christina-Saya, right? Captain Basil tells me the story. We're here to help you on the orders of the Captain."

"Are you here to help?

Seiya, who hasn't been in touch with Basil lately here, wonders. I wondered why Basil had assumed that Seyya was coming to the Episcopal Church and would encounter something like that earlier.

"Yeah, the captain's cautious at Aquaristan's house right now. So I asked Lord Rieger for information that you were going to the Episcopal Church, and he ordered us to help you because he couldn't move."

"And when I came, I was fighting the Thirteenth Apostle."

"I see."

Seyya understood everything.

From the word "home prudence," Basil is currently in an environment where magic cannot be used, and he can't even talk about Saiya. And Ryger arranged for me to be on his side in the capital, Rhinetz.

"Thanks. Thank you."

"No, don't worry about it. By the way, what the hell did you do to yourself? of the Thirteenth Apostle. I can't believe I let that call the fifth place in the sequence, too."

"The captain tells me it's not a bad one, but in some cases we might have to catch it..."

"I'm not sure that's what I'm talking about. I handed the letters from Riger to the Seven Wise Men and when I realized they were heretically certified."

Of course it's a lie. Seiya knows why she was certified heretic. But it's not something I can explain, it's not something I can explain to the greasers.

Grease, who sees such a seiya, tells him like he's kidding.

"I wonder if the Seven Wise Men, angry with their demeanor, have made it a crime of disrespect."

"You're with me on that."

"Sort of."

Grease's ridiculous attitude soothes the place in an instant.

Seyya then parted by thanking Gris and Eliela. The two return to the Episcopal Church, and Seyya to the Inn where Serena and the others are. The sun had already set on the horizon, with streetlights embedded with demonic crystal stones shining around.

Meanwhile, by the intervention of Gris and Eliela, Real, who had interrupted the battle because of it, had honestly turned back to the Episcopal Church with Mikokabrera.

On his way back to the Episcopal Church, Real is interrupted and plucked in the fight against Seyya, and Mikokabrera deceives Real.

"Christina-Saya...... next time I see you, I'll definitely knock you down"

"Real, it's getting too hot. You are one of the thirteen apostles, and you cannot move without an order from the Seven Wise Men. I think it would be wiser to wait for an order honestly than to be disenfranchised by the Thirteen Apostles by doing bad things."

"But..."

Mico Cabrera has the right word. But for Real, Seyya has been a sought after existence for years and is a good enemy (rival) finally found.

Even when it comes to the Thirteenth Apostle, it is inevitable that a seventeen-year-old boy, if he has power, will want to test that power. Real gets caught up in his desire to fight Seyya and his desire to do all his work as the Thirteenth Apostle.

"Miko, do you have any good ideas?

That's a good idea.

When Real was in trouble, it was Miko Cabrera, the educator, who always helped me about Real.

Mikokabrera had solved the problem in a way that he could not think of in Real, and Real had, at some point, come to think that his thoughts were best.

"I don't know if it's a good idea, but as the Thirteenth Apostle, there's a way to fight that boy before the Leirian Magic Games are over."

"Is that true!?

"But I don't really recommend it, though."

The way Mikokabrera came up with it was risky, even if it wasn't illegal.

Mikokabrera thinks that we should wait for the Leirian Magic Games to end rather than force them here, and get a formal order before we fight Seiya.

But as an educator, his policy is to make real choices.

All I have to do is show Real the way, and it's Real Himself I choose. Whatever future that may be, it will only be the responsibility of Real who made that choice.

Mikokabrera has always thought so.

But this draft is so risky that even such a Mikokabrera would be hesitant to teach. I chose that choice, and in the worst case, not only Real, but even the Episcopal Church could be damaged.

To tell the truth, I don't want to tell Real.

But Miko Cabrera's role is only to illuminate and show the way. It's Real to choose. So Mico Cabrera tells Real. the way he fights Seyya as soon as possible.

"The reason Real has to obey orders now is because the Thirteen Apostles. In other words, if Real is not the Thirteenth Apostle, the Episcopal Church cannot issue an order. Isn't that right?

"Oh, yeah, but. Maybe Miko wants me to quit the Thirteenth Apostle?

"No, I'm not."

Mikokabrera, who felt the wrapped air of Real only sharpen for a moment, denies it with a grin.

"There is no need to quit the Thirteenth Apostle. But if you're not the Thirteen Apostles, you don't have to listen to orders."

"What do you mean?

Real couldn't understand what Mikokabrera was trying to say. What he is saying is, at first glance, correct, but there is a tremendous contradiction.

"Don't you see, Real? I hope you're not temporarily the Thirteenth Apostle."

"Temporarily...... no way!?

"Exactly. That way you don't care about the Seven Wise Men, and you can challenge that boy to battle with dignity. But at the same time, there's a risk that the public will react."

"Miko! I knew you were a genius! We're gonna get ready now!

Miko Cabrera laughs funny when she sees that Real's attitude has suddenly changed.

"You're not lost, are you?

"Absolutely. Let me use that method."

"Help yourself."

They were going to disappear into the city at night, telling such a story.
