276 Space Flight and Arcana Part 1 (1/2)
He wanted to know whether it would have enough force to bypass the film of energy protecting the entire planet or would there be any problems during its flight at all.
Ace was already aware that the energy utilized using the Cube of Paradox to wrap the entire planet wouldn't be destroyed even if several spacecraft was launched to the outer space as confirmed by Veda. The most that it would do was stretch a bit of its energy and it would fill the gap created by launching a spacecraft.
”Avalon, based on the information provided by your friend... Do you think it would be possible for them to succeed?”
[ Yes, it is possible. They only have a 42% chance of failing. However, I'm unable to calculate some variables. The presence of the three Sages and two Arcanists may even lower the chance of failure. ]
Avalon can now quantify the strength of some mana formations or arrays it has on its records, however, it would still be tough to calculate the magician's ability.
”Wait? Do they only have a 58% chance to succeed without the magician's ability? Isn't that a bit too low? That's reckless...”
[ They don't have enough information about the problem passing through the mesosphere. Based on the records that we gathered while descending to the surface, the spaceship has encountered a thick film of unknown energy that was unidentifiable during that time. That energy was the one that caused severe damage to the spaceship and it has a high chance of being the violent mana also known as Mana Calamity, as suggested by Veda. ]
”They should also be aware of that...”
[ Yes... However, we are the only ones who possess very effective energy that could easily protect the spaceship from any damages caused by this mana. ]
Avalon was referring to the improved Ion-Sting Reactor he copied from Lotus Mech Frame. Apparently, they found out that the Radiant Wave Spectrum Technology was effective with dealing with violent mana.
”I see... That may be the reason why they brought an Arcanist... I'm thinking that someone brought an Arcana to increase their chances of succeeding.”
Ace was no longer clueless about the powers possessed by the Sages and Arcanist thanks to Veda who almost has everything kept in its database.
The limit of many Mana Practitioners who dabbled in combat and forging were either an Adept Mage or an Arcane Artificer. If the practitioner wasn't talented enough, then they wouldn't even pass the Arcane Baptism to reach this level. It only means that the five people tasked to man the spaceship was very important to the two clans and giving them powerful Arcana wasn't surprising just for this event to be successful.
”Very well... It's almost time.”
Ace said as he observes the event while also checking up the venue where his own big event would take place.
He didn't want to idle around while he was aware that a lot of things must be handled for tomorrow's event.

The five magicians have now arrived at the platform that they could use to enter the space shuttle.
The shuttle was steely white, cylindrical, and it was attached to a rocket triple its size.
It was quite a view to the people who had only seen this for the first time.
”Everyone...”
A middle-aged man with deep blue eyes said to get the attention of the other four. All of them were wearing their spacesuits so only their faces can be seen.
”I don't have any encouraging words prepared but we have all waited for this day... Let's just do everything we can to make this successful.”
”Yes, captain!”
”Of course... We will be the first people going out of this world! Let's do this!”
The four answered and nodded in agreement with their captain.
Their group has made a lot of preparations for this event and the two clans already had previous success for sending something out of the planet.
Even though it was the first shuttle in outer space with humans in it, the engineers or artificers assigned to create this spacecraft and rocket weren't simple. It was even supervised by one of the three Grand Arcanist.
