Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 304: Association Movements (top)

The place is hit and changed. The central kingdom of the kingdom of Leiria. That is where the Episcopal Church unites this country at the same time as it is an area with Reinz, the capital of the Kingdom of Leiria.

But that's not all that special for the people of the Kingdom of Leiria. The Central Kingdom is home to the main mountain of the Association of Extraordinary Mages, to which only thirteen Extraordinary Mages can belong.

Its headquarters, created in a city different from the capital Rheinz so that it could function in lieu of the Episcopal Church when the capital Rheinz was raided, are seldom used throughout the year.

The very framework of the Association of Extraordinary Mages is weirder in the first place because of the classification of the people that the Episcopal Church is out of its control, the idea of coming together and trying to do something. If we were to get together, it would be enough to be used for the crisis in Leiria or for the private errands of some special magicians.

So that day, the people of one town with the Association of Extraordinary Mages had a look of surprise when they saw the extraordinary magicians coming together continuously. Some of them give an uneasy look, but that may be natural given the tough look on the faces of the extraordinary magicians.

"Hmm, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Sir, should I unload this package from the location, too?

"Huh? That's a change of clothes for the night. Is there a reason to put it down?"

"also, sorry"

"I want to use it because I was sent by the Episcopal Church, but you can't make it, Mel."

"I'm sorry"

The name of the man who preaches his voice in front of the Association of Extraordinary Mages is Yotes. Make him one of the premier magicians with the alias Shady, and he's one of the people invited to this association. The companion is Mel, a servant sent by the Episcopal Church upon his inauguration as a special magician.

"I've been waiting for you, Master Yotes"

"What about the others?

"About half of them have arrived. Master Yotes, come here too."

"Oh."

Yotes is famous among the premier magicians for his terrible work against his servants. Mel follows Yotes, who disappears into the association when he takes only the necessary luggage out of the carriage.

The magicians entrusted with the administration of the association have no choice but to guide him while dissatisfied with Yotes' manipulation of his servants. It's normal not to pinch personal feelings for work, but that's why they're somewhat cloudy because they're not pleasant either.

But Yotes is guided without even showing how concerned he is, but he leads to the room where the other special magicians are.

"This way."

"Thank you. Hey, Mel, hurry up"

"Also, I'm sorry. I'm home."

Yotes enters the room, tongue-in-cheek at Mel, who carries his luggage heavily with both hands.

"Well, we've been together a long time."

Opening the door and entering the room, Yotes sees the faces he was inside and leaks those thoughts. There were five shadows in the room in all. All hold the title of Premium Mage.

"You're still a strong hit on your servants. Lord Yotes."

"Eldrio? It worked for a long time before the invasion of Dacrea."

The most talked to Yotes who came into the room was Eldrio, a premier magician from the Senavian School of Magic. In response to his greeting, Yotes returns his greeting with sarcasm.

Yotes' earlier invasion, of course, was the intervention in the Leirian Magic Games, which the Detodelions had provoked around. At that time, Eldrio, who was near the venue, could not do anything.

Yotes says that.

"You're a perfectly bent man."

"I didn't know you were coming. Lafotia."

"Unfortunately, I'm not as free as you are"

"Are You Still Doing Something Kosokoso With Sikilfus"

"Yeah, well."

It was the woman with the alias "Toyogi" who spoke to Yotes. It's unusual for her to show her face at a gathering of the Association of Extraordinary Mages, and Yotes says so.

"And are you still wearing a mask today? Sikilfas."

"It's not like there's anything wrong"

"Hmm, shady yazume"

Sikilfas is a magician with the alias "The Champion" and is famous for wearing a mask all the time. Even the premier magician has been told that Toyogi Lafotia is the only one who has ever seen that face.

The truth is that neither the same premium magician nor all of them are unfamiliar, and some of them have good relationships. It is a famous story, for example, that these two Toyogi Lafotia and the Champion Sikilfus are in a cooperative relationship. There are also, for example, the two Thunder God Riggers and Fire Dragon Yfriels.

Or "Twin Fangs" Onylus, "Sword Emperor Iskal," Witch "Cleonora, who appeared in the Episcopal Church, are also typical magicians in cooperative relationships.

Conversely, Eldrio and Yotes are especially magicians who have no cooperative relationship with other special magicians.

Yotes, who has finished a street greeting, arrives at the designated seat. Yotes honestly followed that custom, as it has become customary for the Association of Extraordinary Mages to sit in an assigned chair upon entering the conference room. And Mel with the luggage behind him refrains.

"I didn't know you were even here. What kind of blow is that?

Yotes, who arrived at the designated seat of his own, spoke to the blonde man next to his left. The man is a man with long hair enough to wear on his golden shoulders, and the elegance he wears is enough to attract the beholder.

He is Michaela the Angel, the premier magician who presides over the alias Angel from his neat face, his sapphire blonde hair and his beautiful blue eyes like sapphire.

He is also a rare person to show up in such a place.

"I don't need to answer you."

"Well, you're cute, too, young man."

Michaela, about ten years away if you try from Yotes, is still young. But Michaela doesn't take such a respectful attitude towards Yotes.

Beyond being in the same position as a premier magician, the two are in an equal position, but still there are magicians who, like Eldrio, pay a minimum of courtesy to older people.

So Yotes gave Michaela a slightly grumpy look on her attitude.

"Well, don't fight so hard. Same fancy magician."

It was the oldest woman in the Association of Extraordinary Mages who broke in between the two of them. She is also the Morska of the Magic Flute, which has the status of a premium magician.

"The Magic Flute" Morska is sometimes the oldest and is also the compiler of the special magicians. It is an essential part of an association that also has good relations with other magicians because it participates in every meeting.

"Mr. Morska, you know why we were called today."

Yotes suddenly changed the subject when he saw Morska. To tell the truth, the agenda for today's meeting has not even been made known to the Premier Mages.

"Come on, I just got word from Onylus. Hey."

"Right. If you don't know, that son of a bitch."

"But, well, I guess it's about the status quo."

"One of the Riggers."

"I guess so. And then there's the rumored rookie."

All the extraordinary magicians who were on the spot in Morska's words show their own reaction. It is known that Seyya has become a premier magician, but if she asks if she has admitted about Seyya as an association, she can't even say yes.

Because its presence is normally to be recognised at meetings of associations that are held after taking office.

"Will they come after me?"

When Morska's voice sounds like that in the conference room, the door just opens and we all gaze at the person.

"This is it. This is it. Everybody, come on."

Three people came into the room: Twin Fangs Onylus, Sword Emperor Iskal, and Witch Cleonora.
