Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Light and Darkness Encounter 2
The figure of Real, ordered by the Seven Wise Men to explore the manipulators of the Warcraft, was at the easternmost end of the Frestan region. Real, one of the thirteen apostles, stands by the gate to go through the process of going out into the dark realm. Next to it was the figure of Mikokabrera, affiliated with the Episcopal Church, the educator of Real.
And around the gate, many citizens gather to see at first sight the Real who became a man of a jump. This Real job has not been made public, but the Thirteen Apostles, who wear conspicuous armor, will soon be recognized. At the end of the day, once recognized, the information of the Thirteen Apostles had no choice but to spread instantly throughout the city.
Real only slightly disturbed his head in a state that could be described as the mission of the Thirteenth Apostle.
By the way, Real, who has just become the Thirteenth Apostle, has no men. Subordinates are magicians under the command of the Thirteen Apostles, a passage commonly referred to as the Basil and Silforo squads.
Being a thirteen apostle and shallow in the sun Real doesn't have any men yet. Real was single because the opinion prevailed within the Episcopal Church that it was early in time to attach subordinates to him as he was developing both in age and strength.
But no one knows that this measure turns out to be a delight because from Real's point of view I can be tempted to subordinate an older magician than myself.
"Dear Apostle XIII, may I ask you to wait a little longer?
"No problem."
When one of the gatekeepers who has rushed under Real comes to tell him that he is having a little trouble with the process, Real returns it in a polite tone. From a standpoint, Real is higher, but Real, who is not yet out of student mood, is polite in the way he treats those who are on the lookout.
"You seem surprisingly calm, Real"
"It's not like something's going to change when I panic now."
It was Miko Cabrera who approached Real, who received attention from around him, and eared him. It's a shattered tone for Mikokabrera, who has been acting together for two months and enjoys a good relationship.
"That's comforting."
"Miko, by the way"
"What's wrong with you?
Miko Cabrera asks strangely when he sees the real face that cannot be seen.
"Do you think that story is true?"
"You mean The Magic Flute when you say that story?
"Yes."
I still don't think the extraordinary magicians will avenge the country. Real couldn't accept the possibilities as the Seven Wise Men thought.
The Extraordinary Mage is a valuable force in the Kingdom of Leiria alongside the Thirteen Apostles. It was not conceivable, nor did I want to think, that there were insurgents among its forces, etc. Because if you were born in the kingdom of Leiria, it is natural to be patriotic to the kingdom of Leiria.
But Mikokabrera's opinion was unexpected.
"I can't say enough that it's not possible"
"Become..."
Even Mikokabrera was a real surprise to see if he suspected about the premier magician, but Mikokabrera's story is not over yet.
"I'm only talking about possibilities."
"Possibility?
"If you're in the Episcopal Church for two years, you won't want to talk about it, but you'll hear about it."
"What do you mean?
Real listens back to the answer that makes it contain.
"The truth is that the Association of Extraordinary Mages is not a single rock."
"Isn't it a single rock?
"Yes. Unlike the Episcopal Church, where the Seven Wise Men divide themselves, the Association of Extraordinary Mages is only an association, and who doesn't exist above or beyond?"
There is no strict upward or downward relationship to the system of premium magicians. In the other thirteen Apostles there exists an upward and downward relationship of sequence, and the relationship with the Seven Wise Men is also clear in the chain of command.
This is the biggest difference between the Association of Extraordinary Mages and the Episcopal Church Thirteen Apostles.
"But isn't it normal for associations to cooperate?
"You must be right to regard belonging to an association as endorsing that movement. However, in the case of the Association of Extraordinary Mages, it is also true that their receptacles will disappear when they refuse to belong."
"You think I have a magician who doesn't like to belong to me?
Both the Thirteenth Apostle and the Extraordinary Mage are undoubtedly honorable positions for the Mages of Leiria. Real thought there was no one else to show a sense of rejection of that status.
But it's not surprising to have a magician like that if you try Mikokabrera.
"You'll be there for sure. There are no examples of the Association of Extraordinary Mages moving together as evidence of this. It is not the association that moves even when requested by the Episcopal Church, but the special magicians belonging to the association. Sometimes there will be no national disaster for them to come out in total, but even if there were, I don't think we'd cooperate.
Extraordinary magicians are magicians fundamentally different from the Thirteen Apostles. Some of them don't have patriotism in the first place, and the principle of their behavior isn't strange about private personal greed. If there's a conflict of interest, I'm sure they'll be able to cross blades relentlessly. "
Real flattered by Mikokabrera's thoughts. I was still wondering if private profit personal greed wouldn't turn out to be good for the country for the child Real, but apparently the facts are different.
And if you want to add to Miko Cabrera's previous stories, Real starts to wonder if it's any surprise that a special magician is involved behind this commotion.
"So if the extraordinaire magician becomes a national bandit, is it also going to be a total confrontation with the Thirteen Apostles?
"I think it's a good chance."
Real's expression got serious on the word. The anxiety that maybe from now on I will be dealing with a premium magician is overwhelming.
But Mikokabrera quickly supplemented.
I just don't think it's going to happen this time.
"Why not?
"The Seven Wise Men said the Magic Flute was suspicious, but I think that among the premier magicians, the Magic Flute Morska is more of a magician than Leiria, and in evidence of this, the Magic Flute Morska responds positively to requests from the Episcopal Church. Her behavior principle should have been peacekeeping again, so I guess it's unlikely she's involved in dangerous moves like this one."
"Really?
"I'm only talking about possibilities."
Still, if you take it real, if you don't have to fight a super magician, you've never crossed it.
"Dear Apostle XIII, please come through"
When the person in charge rushes under Real, he opens the gate of the wall and urges it to proceed to Real. Real takes a breath with a slightly nervous face on his first dark realm that spreads in front of him. And he went out to the dark realm with the yellow cheer of the people on his back.
