Ice Sword Mage Unites the World - The Boy, the world's most powerful magician, enrolls in the School of Magic

Early morning.

Finally, this day has come. The early morning departure brought together members of the Special Selection Unit "Astral".

It's now ten minutes before the assembly time. Normally, they're all here, but now Ray and Lydia are behind. We all know that Lydia is behind the most delays.

"Lydia's... really helpless."

"But it's okay because Ray-chan is here!

And while Abby and Carol were talking, they hurried to the rendezvous point.

"I'm sorry. Was that close?

It was Lydia who appeared in a splendid manner. Ray arrived behind him, but his face seeped with fatigue.

"Master... please give me a break. I was in a hurry because I had no sign of waking up."

"Sorry, sorry. It's been a long time since it happened!

I apologize, but I don't see any reflection at all. Ray sighs as she sees it. It's not like it just started, but even on a day like today, it's a little easier for my paced Lydia.

"Lydia, you really are...."

"Abby, don't be so angry. You're here in time, aren't you?

"Did Ray wake you up?

"Well, yes. But it's always the same!

"... at all. Don't freak out without Ray."

Put your hands on your head and shake your head sideways. I was satisfied with Abby's concerns, but I was relieved that Ray was okay because I left it to her.

I wonder if this consciousness is really enough for me to participate fully in the Far East battle... but I don't think I have much to say about Lydia now.

He has already grown up as one of the seven greatest magicians, and his strength as a magician is outstanding. It's the most powerful of the seven magicians I've ever known.

The most personal aspects and lifestyles are never praised.

"All right, everybody's here."

It was Henrik who spoke again. Flor next door stared at Lydia, but now she didn't say anything.

"Once again, from today, my troops will participate in the Far East operation. The front line is in charge. Special Selection Unit" Astral "will often move independently, but the opportunity to collaborate with other units will not be zero. I want you to take care of me."

Copy that.

When they all answered together, they finally headed to the battlefield of the Far East.

Now that we are fighting at the request of other countries, we have a simple Royal Army base near the battlefield. The neighboring countries that are holding the Far East battle are already exhausted, and their power has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, by formally forming an alliance with the Kingdom, the Special Selection Unit "Astral" was dispatched.

There are many mountainous areas in the Far East, and now it is rainy time. The battlefield is predominantly mountainous and situated next to the Yewell Empire.

It was originally a small spark. The aim is to quell the soldiers who have spread out and are now completely mobs. The Yewell Empire has also announced that it will send troops to fight the fires, but the Royal Army will also be dispatched as the fighting continues to spread.

Many people have already noticed. The Yewell Empire controls everything on this battlefield. It was a battle between small nations, but this battlefield was the first war to use magic. There, magic is exported as a weapon, earning tremendous wealth.

It is information that we have already obtained from certain sources. That is information that is not published in the table. Only some people in the army know.

Among them, of course, is the Special Selection Unit, Astral.

"This conflict... no, it's a war. Don't you smell weird?

In the carriage on the move. It was Lydia who spoke there. This time it's going to be a long journey, so I'm supposed to take turns getting some sleep.

Now that Lydia and Abby were awake, they were having a intimate conversation to avoid disturbing other members.

"Why do you think so?

"I know that there is the Aywell Empire behind it. And they're distributing magic technology and spreading the fire. We also know that huge amounts of wealth are moving there. But is that the only real purpose?

"... I have something in mind. The Eiwell Empire is already said to be the world's largest power. The kingdom is largely seen because of its history, but it will already be overtaken economically by other countries. That's why we're looking for profits in the future..."

"It's hard to think that pure desire is accelerating, right?

"Ah, that's not going to happen in a country like that."

Exchange arguments.

Lydia and Abby were beginning to wonder if this fight had a different purpose.

As Abby mentions, the Aywell Empire is already the world's leading economy. While it is understandable to pursue further profits from it, intervening in war is too risky.

Why do you go so far?

When weighing risks and profits, simply wanting to prioritize the pursuit of more profits is not proportionate to the risk. In the unlikely event that the fact that the war is spreading becomes public, criticism from various countries is inevitable.

There may also be economic sanctions, such as the suspension of trade. Why then intervene in the Far East? The answers ─ ─ We hadn't reached the core yet, but we thought there was something definitely going on.

"Is it still about magic?

"Lydia, what do you know?

"No, it's just a hunch. But... that's what Ray said. I feel like I'm being called."

Ah.

"I remember the same feeling. And you told me about the girl who used to go to the Empire?

"... that girl you met in the basement?

"Yes, it is."

Lydia talks about that time again. It was information Ray should never have heard.

She sends her gaze to Ray, who is sleeping twinkly. Then, when you prepare a piece of paper, you run along with a slash and a pen.

……

When I checked the paper I received, it said:

The girl had the same primary material as Ray, "Primateria."

"Is this true?

"Probably, but... no, I didn't see it that far with my ability. I was wondering if I'd write it in my report."

"Why not share? It's important, right?

"... I wonder why. I know it's important information. But at the same time, I feel like I'm peeking into Pandora's box..."

Lydia's hands trembled when she noticed. Abby didn't mention anything more than seeing the situation and understanding that it wasn't a simple matter.

"If anything happens, I'll report it immediately. But I don't think this war will end alone."

"Is that a hunch?

"Oh, are you kidding me?

"No, Lydia's intuition has been around for a long time. I believe you."

"Hopefully, I hope it's over."

"That's right...."

So the story was cut off.

As the carriage rocks, it advances. What awaits you beyond that? With such thoughts in mind, the two stared up at the sky.

……

Meanwhile, Ray seemed to be asleep... and never slept. I tried to lie down and breathe, but my consciousness was actually awake.

He thought of listening to the conversation. Ray also thinks there's something ahead. There is no basis for that. It's just a hunch.

Finally, the Far East battle, which left a huge claw mark on the world, opened its doors.
