Ice sword.

That's one of the sorceries created by Lydia. Magic that elevated ice magic to the form of a sword and to something more operational. Long before she became a soldier, she realized she was highly suited for ice magic.

Focusing there, she decided to create a sorcery called the Ice Sword. It's never just an ice sword. It is an elaborate woven cord of her essence, [deceleration] and [fixation].

Because of its differentiation, the name is Ice Sword, not Ice Sword. The only magic of its kind. That was the ice sword Lydia sought.

"... Phew"

Wave the ice sword.

There were numerous demons rolling in front of me. Astral, a special selection unit, was being driven out this time to deal with Stampede, a massive outburst by demons. In it, Lydia used an ice sword.

Prima Material-Encoding-Supply Materials Code

Material Code = Decoding

Substance Material Code = Processing = Deceleration Dissertation = Fixed Lock

Embodiment = Substance Material

those two essences that are incorporated into the code. The ice sword created by it had manifested itself around Lydia. Grab an ice sword in both hands and try to keep it behind her. The other ice swords were floating in the universe.

She is no longer in the realm of coarse sorcerers. Literally, I'd say the dimensions are different. Abby, who was watching this fight, just had to be stunned.

Abby and Carol are also no stranger to being mages of excellence than they are already said to be candidates for the Seven Mages.

But again, it also gets sumptuous in front of Lydia-Ainesworth, a rare genius.

"Lydia...... is it finally done"

"Ah. It's a strange feeling. I feel like I can see everything I haven't seen before."

If you look closely, Lydia's golden eyes had changed to a jewel-like color of blue blue Konpei.

"You, those eyes..."

That's what they say. Lydia squeaks bossly.

"I hear your new abilities have awakened. Now I see the first material, Prima Materia, visualized. As a bright blue particle."

Out of the question.

Until now, there have been magicians who perceive the first material, PrimaMateria. But there is no such thing as a magician who has an incapacity that can show it in his sight.

A girl loved by God.

Look blindly at Lydia, who is also called that honorable name. Definitely not an acquired one. What I have innate is too different.

Exactly. She has a gift that God loves.

But Abby knows. That having mighty power isn't necessarily connected to happiness.

"Abby. Let's go home. The mission is over."

"Oh, oh... right"

That's how they finish their assignment and return to the base of the kingdom.

The next day. Lydia was to be called to the headquarters of the Sorcery Society. There was already advance notice. A letter had officially come to her asking her to be named the Seven Mages.

If it's Lydia's personality, it's not strange to ignore it. But all this time, things are different. She thinks. He said that he was responsible for this enormous talent.

That's why she was coming to the sorcery society on her own.

"... it's been a long time since we've been here"

Lydia was often invited to the sorcery society party because of her genius. But she refused to do so because it was a hassle. Most of all, it is rare to come when you know you are going to have fancy dishes.

The moment she tried to get inside the association like that, she just met the person she knew.

"Is that Mr. Lydia?

"Marius... that's an odd encounter"

It was a long-haired man there. He is lowering his chestnut hair straight down to his chest. I usually put it together in the back, but not only today.

In addition, the face may seem both male and female, but it is in fact male. That's not obvious from a height of one hundred and eighty centimeters, or from shoulder width or muscle mass.

That's his name, Marius-Basette.

Also named-

"So, how did the mage from Phoenix" Rinko "get here? Are you free?

"I'm here to pick up Mr. Lydia. Because the chairman asked me to. We met here, so I don't have that job anymore."

"... even if you don't do that, I'm coming"

"I say so, until now it's normal to ignore the invitation, right?

"Ugh... Ugh. Right."

Marius looks at Lydia's bitter expression and smiles slightly.

The two of us have known each other for a long time. Marius is about ten years older than Lydia. And he was also a teacher at the Arnold School of Magic. So he served as Lydia and the others for four years.

My relationship with Lydia became quite intense during those four years.

Even with her, Marius is one of the few people she knows who can't get her head up.

"Okay? You will already be one of the Seven Mages. You can't talk and act like a student, can you? And I've heard lately that the military has settled down, but Lydia's always..."

"Uhhhhhh! Stop. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! If I'm listening to your sermon here, that's it!

Marius, who watched Lydia step on the estate and storm, and watched as she stood still, remained smiling.

"Hehe. It's a joke. I miss you a little bit, I just made fun of you."

"... ha. You've been like that for a long time."

The magician of Phosphorous Rinko.

Marius, one of the seven great magicians and teacher. That's what he knew from the time. Lydia-Ensworth said he was the youngest and the seven-largest sorcerer of all time.

And one day, I'm sure, it'll be magic beyond even me.

It is no coincidence that I met Lydia here. He came to this place to send words for his hand. Even though he graduated for him, Lydia is one of his most important students.

"Mr. Lydia."

A clear voice sounds. From that voice color she feels the serious atmosphere of Marius.

"I'm glad to hear you've been promoted to the Seven Mages. But waiting first from here will surely be a ruthless reality. If you're as human as you are, you know it. Extreme witchcraft means madness. This realm, including mine, is a world of madmen. But I congratulate you." that you will not be happy in the life ahead of you. "

And out of nowhere, Marius took out a round of flowers. Hand it to Lydia and I'll give her a gentle thank you.

"Marius. Thanks for the advice. I am the hegemony of witchcraft. That's what I meant by this gift."

"Yep. I'm here for you. You are more noble than anyone and a magician loved by God. I'll see you soon."

"Ah. See you later."

Marius waved and left the spot. Lydia stares at him like that.

She knew.

He said he was never the only one who could reach the status of the Seven Mages. It's not just teachers like Marius. By interacting with Abby, Carol, and a variety of people, she grew up not just as a magician, but as a human being.

It was now that I got to the end of it.

Return the heel.

Lydia squeezes her hand tightly and puts it against her chest. There was a definite will in those eyes.

Let's go.

Proceed.

Lydia moves on. What awaits her in her future life. I am prepared to live as the Seven Mages, but Lydia is still young. Genius among the geniuses who, in his late teens, became the Seven Great Mages.

She has a definite will. It wasn't forced on anyone, it was something she had acquired herself acquired.

I've been told since I was a student.

He said he was talented and envious. God loved me, I could work hard, and I wanted to be a magician like Lydia. Words like that were sent over and over again.

It's not just envy. There was also jealousy mixed there. Some magicians have crumbled before Lydia's mighty talent. Until then, if you cut it off from your previous talents.

But Lydia has lived such a life, I thought. A life that has always been on the front lines. Regardless of age, what's the point of being born already a magician to the top of the world?

I haven't gotten that answer yet. But that's why I need to move on. Because this talent is filled with numerous human will, and because I think so.

What future does it take her to fulfill?

Are we going down the path of glory? Or will it become a curse and walk the path of ruin?

No one knows the end of Lydia yet.

That's how three years passed after she became the youngest seven magicians of all time.
