Mages and non-magicians. Together they will be the same in the classification of human beings, but there are significant differences between them that cannot be filled.

That can be a threat for some non-magicians who can't use magic, even if they are student magicians in Leiria, and there won't be enough non-magicians to counter a single student magician. Not so long ago, a being called magic is powerful, a brutal force that is born to classify humans.

The talent that is determined by whether you are living magic in your body at birth plants a large complex in the non-magicians. Some magicians envy others for having a better talent, but if you take it to the non-magicians, it's just a gift from God for having a magical talent.

In recent years in Dacrya, the Gillanelles and the Demon King's Army have successfully sensed the magic particles present in the air, and the development of devices using magic particles has also progressed. It has been concluded that with this magic particle, even non-magicians can use a peculiar force similar to magic, but it has not actually reached the stage of use.

Besides, it is not thought that you can cross with a magician who has innate magic in his body because he can freely manipulate airborne magic, and after all, the relationship between non-magicians and magicians must be between ants and tanks.

By the way, it's only a few hundred years later that a world can freely manipulate airborne magic particles, and in that world, magic that can be treated equally by 10,000 people is prevalent, and magicians are abominable, but it has nothing to do with this story.

In this era magic was everything, and there must have been a difference between magicians and non-magicians that could not be filled no matter how they scratched. And the threesome of men unleashed their magic toward their surroundings as they flew their anger as they crashed into the store.

The magic itself is very weak, and if you're a magician opponent, it's a killing ability that doesn't even extend to the tears of a sparrow, but this is an exclusive industrial city against magicians. Even naive magic can be a sufficient threat. The magic that had not set a factual aim was fogged against the wall, but some of it was bombarded by non-magicians who were in the store.

"Wow."

"Damn......"

Those whose magic had been bombarded had a painful look as they fell on the spot, but the men shouted without showing how they cared.

"All right! We're magicians! You guys are hostages. If you find out, shut up and crouch on the spot!

Twenty or so customers combined with the clerk are instantly nervous in the store.

"Just do it! Or I'll shoot another shot of magic!

The man, who showed frustration with the hostages who did not act immediately, again chants and unfolds the magic formation. The hostages who saw the sight nod as they hurriedly crouched to the spot, holding their heads down.

That attitude is an indication of unwillingness to disobey, but the men's cheeks loosen to the feeling of superiority they feel for the first time.

As a magician, I am such a great magician that I am afraid of them in this industrial city, even if they are third-rate. If you think by Laylia's standards, you're strong enough not to even be a student magician in line, enough to have a good battle with the pre-awakening Seiya.

So they must have been comfortable watching the people around them lay flat on themselves.

I guess they even robbed in an industrial city without a magician and tried to roll up the money. Recently, the industrial city that no longer has a protective magician is the same as an unlocked safe for the weak little magicians.

What's more, I can easily imagine treading to rob the Demon King's Army and the Revolutionary Army under this circumstance, where they are hitting each other on a massive scale, that they are not even able to maintain law and order. Never before will there be a better environment for robbery.

But if there is a miscalculation in their plan, it is that there were other magicians besides them on this occasion. Specifically, it is Seyya and Jack, who were sent to plot an alliance between industrial cities and revolutionary armies.

Relatively speaking, the Revolutionary Army has very few Dacrya powerful men, so in some cases they can also be considered to be mutual magicians with them. But the Seyyas are magicians infiltrating the Revolutionary Army, whose identity is Jack, who finds himself in the dark of a union of adventurers that lists Lucifer, the Great Demon King, who governs all of Dacrya.

This would be misfortune through the level of misfortune. They were tanks against non-magicians, but if they had preceded the Seyyas, they would have become ants, not tanks.

Even so, the Seyyas don't try to move right away. The Saiyas do not intend to inadvertently exercise their magic because they are infiltrating this town as non-magicians. Besides, we can't seem to solve this extent ourselves. Industrial cities must be abandoned sooner or later.

"You guys. Why don't you calm down a little?"

"Ahem? What the hell are you?"

It was the mayor of the town who stood up in the tense store. Those around them look at the mayor with nervousness.

"I'm the mayor of this town. If you say so, he's the most powerful man in this town, and he's good for hostages."

"Better. This is luck"

"Is your demand okay with the money?

"You talk fast, Grandpa."

Men grinning at the words of the mayor. The men who didn't think things would go so well would want to take the money and walk away quickly, but they weren't submissive enough to just shut up and obey the mayor.

"But there are conditions"

"Conditions? Look, we're magicians. I won't be in the negotiating table."

"I'm not willing to negotiate anything else. It just takes time to prepare the money."

"So?"

"I want the number of hostages reduced. Specifically those injured by an earlier unnecessary provocation and those that accompany them to take them to the hospital. And every hour as a messenger, one man at a time."

The conditions offered by the mayor can be considered arrogant from the point of view of hostages. But the men who are magicians do not doubt that they have an absolute advantage. So I easily accepted the mayor's request.

"Fine. Three guys down there and three to escort. And seven people per person as the first messenger. Is this it?

"Let's thank you"

The town mayor, with the man's consent, immediately calls the clerks who were nearby when he heads to the injured to instruct them to escort him. When I asked the man who was nearby for a message again, I let seven people go out of the store.

When seven people confirm that they have gone outside, the men, the magicians, close the door of the store and lock it. Covering the shop window with more curtains, he lowers his back to the nearby table and asks the mayor.

"Hey, how much money can I get you?

"The more time we have, the more we'll be ready."

"You're very submissive. Such a hipster makes me laugh at the top."

"Speak for yourself. We non-magicians have a non-magician way of life."

"Hmm."

There is absolute leeway for the men who laughed with their noses at the mayor's strong attitude. Jack, on the other hand, who's been staring at them for a while now, was going to explode.

If Jack is serious, it won't take him two seconds to kill the robbers, but Seiya desperately suppresses him about Jack, who's still going to get his hands on him.

If the magician gets his hands on it here, the case will be solved easily, but that will not be a fundamental solution. If the magicians who happen to be there solve the problem, the robbers will continue to target industrial cities. What is required in this situation is for industrial cities to solve cases without relying on magicians.
