Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

What would be most important to a magician living in the Kingdom of Leiria? Throw this question at a non-magician and the answer will usually be strength. Some of them will say gold, but the majority is still strength

Certainly strength as a magician is one of the important evaluation criteria. Among them, if you become a mage of excellence, you can make a name for yourself in this country as a thirteen apostles and superior magicians. But only a handful of powerful men can be Thirteen Apostles or Extraordinary Mages. No other magician can keep up with them where they worked so hard.

So what do they value, not strength?

"It's an unpleasant way to take care of a magician."

"Yeah, I totally agree"

What would Eldrio do with a harsh look on Edward's accusatory words?

The most important thing for a magician is neither strength nor gold. The family of magicians was born and raised.

Patterns are, for example, the advanced magician clan. They are also an excellent clan at the top of the list within the Kingdom of Leiria, whose family names are somehow exemplified. It is the same in the School of Magic, where highly patterned students build factions and the schematic that below the Intermediate Mage Clan follow them is often seen.

So magicians strive every day for higher status. Because that might make me a senior magician clan one day. In this country, what is commonly referred to as subordination can also happen. Thanks to this, the Intermediate Mage Clan and the Lower Mage Clan were still working hard today to enhance their own family.

But at the same time it makes me suggest another possibility. That's the fall. Falling is the fact that, as per the letters, the advanced magician clan is downgraded to the intermediate magician clan or the intermediate magician clan is now treated as a lower magician clan. It is possible that some houses that were a family of advanced magicians until yesterday will become a family of lower magicians from today on.

That is particularly feared in this country, where patriarchy is rampant, especially in the Windistan region, where the Senavian School of Magic is located. People aspire to be higher than they are now, while at the same time fearing falling below this.

As a result, what happens is the sorting of clans. I don't want incompetent children, I don't want incompetent married people, incompetent acquaintances. Anyway, people are scared that their family names will be scratched, especially the students at this Senavian School of Magic.

For example, the trick against Annone, which has been missed while being considered a well-known fact in this school. Why didn't anyone reach out, because they were afraid to get involved with an unpatriotic annone and scratch their own.

So no one has reached out, and the fig named Sanctions by Zach and the others has been overlooked. But when some student magicians do, they realize it.

"If I realize about my need, I'll be haunted by it for the last time, forever"

"It's a student affliction."

"Again, the association wants to use that?

"Yeah, use rebellion against the house to foment the will to procure the power of war. Well thought out."

"I can't admit it, but it's pretty good"

"True."

What if, for example, you were a competent first-born magician? I'm probably determined to make an effort to name my house without any worries.

Then what if I'm an incompetent magician who's not my oldest son?

A complex is a horrible thing, and once you feel it, it's hard to beat it off. Even if I change my mind, I still get stuck somewhere in my mind.

What will happen to the magicians of the house who have an excellent eldest son? I can't inherit the house any more than my oldest son is excellent. Then the path left for them is to work for themselves, not for the house. Because if you're a magician, you can do your own thing, but it's a basic stance.

Then what if I had an elder son but an excellent brother? Probably the family that values the pattern will want that brilliant brother to inherit the house somehow. That said, the eldest will be expelled from the house. More importantly, it means we can throw it away.

He's a magician who cares about the outside world, so he feeds me well while I belong to the School of Magic. But if you graduate, you will no longer be obliged to provide for yourself because you are a fine magician. I finally have to live on my own in earnest.

So few of the students understand if they don't inherit the house. Those should think more seriously about their future in their daily school lives. And choose the option that will do you a little good.

For example, let's apply it to this example. Currently, some of the thirteen apostles who disobeyed from the Episcopal Church and some of the special magicians who secretly disobeyed them are building a new party. In response to this state of affairs, the Episcopal Church temporarily ceded power to the Association of Extraordinary Mages.

The governing Association of Extraordinary Mages is authoritarian politics by the de facto Twin Fangs. This will probably be discovered later and there will be accusations from many quarters. At that time, a group of senior and intermediate magicians who were averse to the association may form a coalition to rebel against the association side.

Then there is the possibility that even associations that are outnumbered by their individual strengths may not be able to deal with them. So how do we make up the difference in numbers?

Of course there may be a clan who will side with the association in favor of it. But magicians are only beings who aspire to the top, and if the association is not functioning properly, they will question the need for the very existence of an association of privileged magicians and aspire to an ideal society in which they themselves stand on top and rule.

In that case, the association will finally be put in a predicament. He's a student magician with a complex there. They should choose their most stable future when they think about the future. And the biggest places of employment for the magicians who did not succeed the clan are public institutions such as churches and ecclesiastical churches in each region.

If the association dies and the Episcopal Church is overthrown, their place of employment is set to disappear. Perhaps a similar organization would be created even if a society by a coalition of magician clans were born, but that would likely be only a breath-taking institution of the clan.

It is riskier than today's public authorities, which are treated equally for better or worse. Then it's no surprise that there are students who think it's smarter to make their future certain about the association side, even in conflict with the house.

These, of course, are nothing more than assumptions, in fact, there can be no forces to rebel against the association, and they may try to help the association to defeat a party of the Saint Knight Arthurs.

But the Twin Fangs thought about the risks when the country split up, and went on an outrage called conscription of students. And realizing that, Edward and Eldrio are uncomfortable with this way of involving students.

"Exactly the way you do it on the outside."

"Yeah, but I can't stop the association."

"Then what are you going to do?

"Don't the teacher already know?

Edward sighs at Eldrio's meaningful expression. It is, in a way, a way of betraying the country, and if it fails, it could become a great sinner.

But Edward wasn't lost. He stands up to protect the students of his school, the student magicians of this country.

"Return to power to the Episcopal Church"

"Yes, that would stop this dictatorship too"

"Then let's get moving right away. The first step is to get in touch with the other schools."

"Yes, please"

This is how Edward and the others moved out. Everything is to protect the eggs of the future.
