Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Light and Darkness Encounter 1

That was just before the story started. There were two countries in this world: the Kingdom of Leiria, ruled by the Episcopal Church, and the Great Empire of Dacrea, ruled by the Great Demon King Lucifer. But there is no national traffic between the two countries, and the Kingdom of Leiria has not even publicized the existence of Dacrea.

Very few and privileged people know Dacrea in Leirian human beings. They also had to know things outside the country to get involved in the country's hubs.

And there was one boy among the magicians who knew Dacrya existed. The boy's name is Real-Christopher. He was a brilliant magician enrolled in the prestigious Senavian School of Magic in the Windistan region of the Kingdom of Leiria, where he achieved outstanding results at the previous Leirian Magic Games.

Festival Leirian Magic Convention, which brings together selected student magicians from all over the country. Showing unparalleled power in it, Real is called the strongest of generations by the public.

The Episcopal Church, the country's governing body, also moved quickly against this activity. He scouted Real as one of the thirteenth apostles of the Episcopal Church. Real, who was comfortable with the offer of the Episcopal Church, followed the Senavian School of Magic from that day on and became one of the thirteen Apostles of the Episcopal Church as Real-Sarteen.

The people pay attention to Real because it is unusual for a student magician to be chosen as the Thirteenth Apostle from the time of his attendance. Real ruled the glorious feat as if to respond to its attention, lifting the sequence from thirteenth to eleventh place two months after becoming the thirteenth apostle.

Thus, only two months after the Leirian Magic Games, Real officially attacked Real-Eleven, the eleventh place in the sequence.

"Let's honor your accomplishments."

"Thank you"

"And Miko Cabrera. And I respect your support."

"I would like to thank you for this extra word. Sir Alfredo."

The oldest of the Seven Wise Men, a substantial head of the Episcopal Church, Alfredo addresses the words of labor to Mikokabrera, an educator of Real and Real.

Having received Alfred's words, the Reals are kneeling and bowing their heads to the Seven Wise Men. That's what Conrad starts talking to them about this time.

"You guys have enough strength. So it's time to let the Dark Realm do its job."

"Is it the dark realm?

Asked back to Conrad was Mikokabrera, Real's educator. Even if I don't put it in my mouth, I'm about to complain that look is still early.

It was two months before Real became the Thirteenth Apostle, and it was then that he was informed about Dacrya and the Dark Attributes. At the same time, it was when Mikokabrera was appointed as Real's educator.

I was against putting Real out into the dark realm if I took care of Real from the beginning who became the Thirteenth Apostle. His strength may indeed be the strongest of the student magicians, but he is still in the process of development if seen within the Kingdom of Leiria.

Besides, it would be too heavy a load to entrust Real, who until this time had been a student magician, with a job in the dark realm. But Conrad continued the conversation without worrying.

"Thank you. The Warcraft movement has become more active in the east lately. And the movement seems to be unnaturally controlled."

It is not uncommon for a warcraft with sufficient intelligence to behave in a controlled manner in a flock. But I guess that's not what I meant from Conrad's mouth.

Mikokabrera inquires.

"What exactly is unnaturally?

"Multiple types of warcraft form a herd"

"What are the possibilities of symbiosis?

"No."

It would not be uncommon for different types of organisms to act together thinking biologically. But Conrad seemed to have a certain answer.

"You have some powerful evidence, don't you?

"That's right. And the inference from that is that there are warcraft manipulators."

"Are you the one who manipulates warcraft? It's like The Magic Flute."

It was one of the premier magicians and Morska with the alias "Magic Flute" that Mikokabrera spoke of in a joke. She is the oldest of the premier magicians and acts like a chancellor in the association.

She can manipulate the Warcraft in their peculiar tones, especially the talent driven out when the Warcraft appear in the country. Her rare ability to induce warcraft to contain domestic damage as a manipulator of warcraft is also important to this country.

Conversely, however, it means that when important abilities turn to the enemy, they cause terrible things. The Conrads were afraid of it.

"Didn't you think there was an extraordinary magician involved!?

I saw the Seven Wise Men with the look on his face that Real, who accidentally raised his voice, was incredible. Real, who doesn't know how this country works in detail, surprises me because he doesn't really understand the difference between the Extraordinary Mage and the Thirteen Apostles, but every other face except Real always feared its potential.

Mages of extraordinary strength, even within the Kingdom of Leiria, can obtain special privileges from the Episcopal Church regardless of birth or background. That is the Thirteenth Apostle and the Extraordinary Mage.

If there's a difference between these two, it's your organization. The Thirteenth Apostle belongs to the Episcopal Church divided by the Seven Wise Men, and the Extraordinary Mage belongs to the Association of Extraordinary Mages, its own institution. Although it is generally believed that the Association of Extraordinary Mages, an independent body, is established as a deterrent to curbing the rampage of the Episcopal Church, its reality is different.

The Seven Wise Men have nominated themselves as the Thirteen Apostles for being able to manipulate as they please, and they have repelled the remaining untouchable beings in a way that gives them the privilege of being prime magicians. Evidence of this is that the Episcopal Church has each of the privileged magicians monitored with a subordinate belonging to the Episcopal Church, with no involvement other than at work.

Associations that understand the intentions of the ecclesiastical side also maintain a certain distance from the Episcopal Church, refraining from unnecessary contact until now. So the Seven Wise Men do not think well of the Extraordinary Mages.

"Real-Eleven. I'll tell you what, you better not trust a super magician too much. They don't know what they're doing back there, they're the rough guys."

"So, but isn't the Extraordinary Mage a Leirian Mage with the same power as the Thirteen Apostles?

If you make it real, the thirteen apostles and the extraordinary magicians both have the perception that they are good magicians who work for the country. This recognition in itself is not incorrect and also coincides with the information now published by the Episcopal Church.

But the truth is it's not that sweet.

"Originally, special magicians are only special measures to hold back powerful magicians who do not follow the Episcopal Church's intentions. Sure, he's doing our job, but he doesn't know when to peel his fangs off."

"And even though they are extraordinary magicians in monogamy, their individual ideas and positions are different. No wonder there was about one traitor"

Real who can't hide his upset in the words of Alfredo and Conrad. But from the Seven Wise Men, I send my gaze to Mikokabrera because I am unwilling to have an argument about the Extraordinary Mage on this occasion.

When he noticed the gaze of the Seven Wise Men, Mikokabrera asked as he was convinced.

"So our mission is to supplement those who manipulate the Unidentified Warcraft and, in some cases, to terminate it?

"I don't mind. I won't say anything raw about captivity, but I hope you know how to do it."

Fucking raccoon, and Miko Cabrera throws up in his heart, but of course he doesn't give it to his expression.

"I understand. But since this is also a risk, could you just tell us where the strong evidence came from?

"Say no."

Conrad turned down Mikokabrera's request, but soon Alfredo will control it by hand.

"Real-Eleven was also on his first overseas assignment. You must be anxious. This time, would it be a problem to reveal a source specifically?

"Sir Alfredo..."

Conrad showed a lot of thought, but the other Seven Wise Men seem to agree with Alfredo's idea, so Conrad has no choice but to teach.

"The source of the information is Cilfono-Second, the Thirteenth Apostolic Sequence, infiltrating Dacrea."

"I see. I'm sure that information is powerful"

At this time Mikokabrera was surprised not least. to the fact that the sequence second in the Episcopal Church is infiltrating Dacrea. But Miko Cabrera doesn't put surprises on the table.

"Then tomorrow morning, Real-Eleven, eleventh in sequence, will leave for the Dark Realm"

"I got it."

Thus Real's first foreign assignment opens the curtain.
