Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

The Sayers, who rendezvoused with Saint Knight Arthur-One, Leiria's most powerful magician, had come to a small liquor store on the back road of the Dacrea Empire, under the leadership of the Saint Knight.

It was a store that gave off a suspicious atmosphere to see, but the Saint Knight entered without hesitation, so they both went on into the store.

"You can rest assured that few people come here"

The Holy Knight says rude things when entering the store, but the shopkeeper who was at the counter doesn't show how he cared. When the three of them sat straight in the seat behind the store, they each asked for a drink.

And wait for the beverage I asked for to come, and the Holy Knight gets to the point.

"Now the emperor..."

"Wait. What was that emperor from earlier?

Seyya waits against the Holy Knight for trying to talk about something. And I've heard the meaning of the word emperor used to designate Seyya earlier.

Then the Holy Knight gave him a slightly surprised look and answered Seyya's question.

"The emperor, or don't worry about it. I'm just calling it on my own."

"Right."

It was a refreshing answer somewhere, but Saiya stops pursuing any more because the Holy Knight was releasing an atmosphere that said no more.

Confirming that Seyya would pull back, the Holy Knight began to speak again.

"First thank you for delivering this holy sword"

While gentle with the sword placed against the wall. The Holy Knight conveys his gratitude. But Seyya couldn't figure out why she would be appreciated.

"Something to be thankful for."

"No, the Seven Wise Men tried to return this sword to me because the Emperor was there. So thanks to you, Emperor."

A holy knight who looks firmly into Seyya's eyes and gives thanks, but Seyya had one thing that was hard to say. That is probably a tragedy that has happened in the late days when the Holy Sword has been out of the hands of the Holy Knight for years.

"But the sword is no longer..."

It rusts and I can't use it. That's what I was going to say, Seiya, but before that, the Holy Knight smiles.

"You're still sweet, Emperor."

……

Seiya necks the word of the Holy Knight.

"The way it is now is still tentative. Once in battle, this holy sword regains its true appearance"

"Really?

"Oh."

Seyya nods somewhat to the holy knight, who is somewhere in a certain wind.

Then suddenly the Holy Knight changed the subject.

"By the way, Emperor, what are you gonna do after this?

Saiya was asked about this later by the Holy Knight, but the answer has already been decided. The Sayers came to this Dacrya Empire to give the Holy Knight the Holy Sword. And now that I have given the Holy Sword to the Holy Knight, there is no point in the Saiyas remaining in this Dacrya Empire anymore.

"I'm going back to Leiria like this..."

"Oh, sweet."

The Holy Knight sighs when he asks Sayya for an answer.

"Emperor, have you not forgotten that you are being targeted by the Episcopal Church?

"It's..."

Seyya is stuck with words in the words of the Holy Knight. What the Holy Knight is saying is true and an issue that must pass sometime in the future. But that's why I don't have the option of not returning to Leiria.

Because Laylia has a fiancée, Youre, and a contract with Lily, and friends like Serena and Morna waiting for Seyya to return.

But reality isn't that sweet. Because the Holy Knight knows all about it, he says something tough about Seyya.

"To be clear, I don't agree with you going home like this. The Episcopal Church has heretically certified you and tried to annihilate you. Besides, you became a premier magician in order to put me in the dark alone. But now that the operation has failed, they don't know what they're gonna do."

Seyya listens silently to the words of the Holy Knight. What she is saying is an indisputable truth and shoots a target.

"Perhaps when I return as I have, the thirteenth apostle below the third place in the sequence, and some extraordinaire magicians, will come to kill you. But now you might be able to fight a single opponent, but that doesn't make it more than five winners. I just got back in that condition. Who the hell gets the money?

Seiya is speechless in hard reality. I know that, but there's nothing I can do about it.

"I mean, you want to tell me to stay in Dacrea?

"On the surface, don't do that."

"Become..."

To the unthinkable answer of the Holy Knight, Seyya loses several words. Indeed, the Holy Knight is right, Leiria is now a danger to Seyya, and it is safer to be in Dacrya. But Seiya couldn't take that choice more than the Yours were waiting for.

"I can't. I have someone waiting for me to go home..."

"It's not like I want to stay all the time. Besides, I just got back. Isn't that just harmful to that waiting person?

"Then what are we going to do!

In an irresistible reality, Seyya becomes absurd with words.

What the Holy Knight is saying is correct. And if you do what the Holy Knight says, you won't harm the Yours either. However, for Seiya, Yua is an important and unchanging being, and I have always wanted to be with her.

So I also honestly nodded and performed brilliantly the task that was handled by this impossibility. It's to have a peaceful school life with Youre, Lily and Serena.

But Seyya also knows that there will be a battle on the Arunya family when she returns like this.

I want to go back, but when I do, there's a danger to the Yours. Such a dilemma strikes me about Seyya.

"Is this young again?"

Seeing Seyya grinding within herself, the Holy Knight said. And against Seyya. Make a suggestion.

"Emperor, there's only one way you can go home to Leiria and live in peace."

"Is that true?

Saiya eating at the word of the Holy Knight. If what the Holy Knight says is true, it is a wish or a fulfillment for Seyya. But of course, that's not an easy path.

"That path is when the emperor acquires so much power that no one can reach the Seven Wise Men, the Thirteen Apostles, the Extraordinary Mage, or anyone else. And the emperor has his qualities. But this is not so easy. Emperor, are you ready for that?

The Holy Knight asks with a firm eye on Seyya's eyes. That's the soul dare to hear Seyya's readiness here. But the answer is already set in Seyya.

If you can go back to Leiria and keep your routine with Yours, Seiya will pay any sacrifice. And show them through any harsh trials. Such confidence suited Seyya.

"I... want to be stronger"

"Well said"

"So, that power..."

"Think about it. Why does it not exist in the dark attribute when it says that there is a sacred attribute as the superior species of the light attribute"

"No way!?

Seyya heard the words and understood them intuitively. Holy attributes, the superior species of light attributes, no, light attributes, the degraded version of holy attributes. Assuming that the dark attribute is a degraded version of the attribute, the attribute becomes powerful in the first place.

That was what it took to strengthen Seyya.
