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

The Eiwell Empire.

Its history is shorter than that of the Arnold Kingdom, but its development is difficult. After repeated wars with various foreign countries, it has grown rapidly and is now the world's leading power.

That is the Aywell Empire.

If the country were to develop, it would not spare any effort, thanks to which it became the world's largest power.

The Arnold kingdom is a country that values tradition and history, but this is the exact opposite. It is an innovative country and the gates of the Empire are always open.

Sometimes I do headhunting from other countries, but there are still many young people in this empire who seek out dreams... that's all because this country is attractive.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Eiwell Empire was completed by various people competing and increasing their national strength.

But that... is just the face of the table.

"Speaking of which, Master said he had been invited by the Empire.

"Hmm? Ah... that was a long time ago, but that happened."

The two of them are eating at the store. Ray asks when she is having breakfast on the terrace. In addition, both of them are now infiltrating under the guise of nationality. Lydia's name is too big to infiltrate under her real name.

Fortunately, that is the only name she is famous for. There's a limit to what you know about yourself. It is also due to the fact that I joined the Special Selection Unit "Astral" and did not operate on the front stage.

Of course, it is also the aim of the upper ranks of the army.

"Weren't you expecting to come here then?

"Indeed, the Empire proposal was fascinating. Money is said to be given so that you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life, and everything else you need for life is free (just). Instead, as a magician, I would like to ask for backward training. I hope you're free to do your research, too. The environment alone would have outlived the kingdom."

It was just before Lydia became the seven biggest magicians. A letter came to her. Looking at that, Lydia thought for a moment about the suggestion of the Aywell Empire....

"Why did you refuse?

Yes, Lydia's presence here means she rejected the offer. Why did you make that choice? Ray was purely concerned. At the time, I didn't care about it, but I wanted to know now.

"Why, why. After all, what I'm after is not conditioned by the environment. Money matters. And the environment. But in order to get to the magic truth... I think there's something more important."

"What is that?

Stay still and ask Ray with a serious look. Lydia wonders if she will take it seriously.

Life up until now has existed only to excel in magic and dedicate everything to it. That's what I thought.

Lonely genius. That was Lydia Einsworth.

Whether she was a student or a soldier, she felt lonely somewhere. But that was natural. Because you don't need to get used to it in order to get to the magical truth. Such half-preparedness is not the area to follow.

But why? Lydia's encounter with Ray made a big difference. It means personality, but also magic.

I grew up. Much more than when I remembered being alone.

What is important? I do not have that clear answer. But seeing Ray in front of her, Lydia thought ─ ─.

Well, I'll tell you that one day too.

"... okay."

He didn't seem to be ready, but Ray said so.

It is a little longer before he will know the answer.

The book went down at night.

Finally, the mission begins here in earnest. The two infiltrated the central control tower in the middle of the Imperial Capital. It is said to be the center of the Yewell Empire, and this is also the heart of the Empire.

The size of the rising tower is no wonder it's overwhelming.

Of course, they can't break in from the front. Then it was only natural to try a different approach.

"Master, what's wrong?

"... this is more than I expected. But ─ ─"

The two of them tried to break in quickly, but Lydia's foot stopped halfway. An underground passage leading to the central control tower. We were planning an intrusion from here, but the terrain has changed since we examined it beforehand.

I thought the opponent was taking measures regarding the intrusion of the boulder, but I didn't expect the boulder's girlfriend to change the terrain in a few hours. In the first place, in what reasoning is that happening? I don't even know that.

Tips and footsteps resonate when you think about what to do. The echoing sound is creepy.

Lydia and Ray look towards the sound.

It was one girl who came.

The girl is wearing a bright red dress with silver hair running round her back. Ray knows about her like that. Because we ran into each other at the inn yesterday.

"That's...."

"Ray, do you know?

"Yes, I ran into him at the inn. But I only had a little conversation at that time....."

"I see. Apparently, we already have a prospect."

Unlike that time, I didn't wear a hat. Also, in this darkness, I can't see the face of the other girl.

"Welcome to the Aywell Empire. But your battlefield is not here. I'll prepare a proper stage for you. So why don't you go back to your country?

A strong tone for a girl. Ringing voices spread into this underground space. Nicole smiled, but it was kind of scary.

And Ray and Lydia knew. To the heterogeneity of its overflowing primary material, "Primateria". Ray slightly wobbles into the primaterials, the first mass of Doss black.

Your body is only moving one step behind you. I understand instinctively. You must not fight this girl in between your eyes properly.

Lydia is one step ahead, trying to cover it up.

We already have a temporary warfare system. Someday an ice sword was held in my right hand.

"Oh, I'm not going to fight?

"─ ─ No questions asked!!

Lydia didn't want to kill the boulder, but Lydia, who was trying to secure it and get information, ran over the ground at once.

The speed is such that even a common sorcerer, or even a high-ranking sorcerer, can't react.

Eye flickering. As she rushes through, she points her ice sword at the opponent's neck in a low position.

Lydia, who is already at her peak as a magician, has nothing against her ─ ─ but she will know the breadth of the world.

"...?!?

"Fufu. The Ice Sword of Stone. I'm not like any other magician."

Lydia faked her aim at the neck, tearing the ice sword apart and shaking it down. I thought it was imperative, but her attack was blocked by invisible walls.

The ice sword that broke into place was scattered paralytically when I made a high-pitched sound.

She understood that she couldn't go with a rope, and once she went backwards.

"Should I go with you?

"No... I'll do it. Ray, take a look."

"... okay."

And the girl disappears like fog while we have this conversation. Parallax and flowing particles made up her.

I don't understand what the principle is, but I can't be alarmed, so I put my ice sword on again.

"I'll see you again. Bye, both of you."

When you hear such a voice, you hear a loud noise coming from above your head. The underground space itself is roaring loudly, and the rubble and debris are falling. Under such circumstances, we cannot proceed to the boulder.

"Damn it... we have no choice but to escape."

When the ice sword is removed, Lydia leaks a voice that seems to have given up.

Ray, let's go back.

"Yes"

The two returned to the path they had come without difficulty, to the ground. This disturbance was treated as natural ground subsidence. The information that Ray and Lydia were coming did not reach the Empire.

It doesn't matter to her. What is the existence of that girl in the first place?

The magician on the Empire side, or something entirely different...

Lydia put her hand on her chin and it took a while to think, but there was too little information to get an answer.

We'll be back in the kingdom soon.

"Yes, but that girl...."

"It's strange to be an empire wizard. If you know we're coming, it's strange that you're waiting alone. Besides, it seemed like you'd missed it."

"... were you acting alone or in a completely different faction?

"If you think so, you don't understand the purpose of the Empire. But in the meantime, I was able to find out about it. That would be enough."

"... yes"

Lydia and Ray soon left the Empire.

What was the existence of that girl? They would eventually meet her again.
