Vol 2 Chapter 2 (1/2)

Mage Academy

The round, the only place for ather in the whole continent

Early on in the Legendary Era, this isolate ivory toas difficult for normal people to be even near its vicinity

Of course, nore to come near this place

Any regular ainst a ses can even annihilate a troop of several hundred soldiers in the ic Talent(1) is a power that is so strong it borders on being a curse, if it ever goes out of control, the dae radius can’t even be compared to any normal disaster

But even with such great fire power, the Mage Academy always maintains a clear neutral status

The reason is simple, whilst the power of the Church and the Monarchy can be considered to be balanced, if es were to lean towards either side, it can cause the destruction of this delicate balance In the past there had been Grand Masters(2) joining into politics considering themselves to be activists, but in the end they were ruined, soe scale civil wars

In the end, to be swept up in the whirlpool of power struggles, is also not so, but they are still flesh and blood, robes can’t block even the lightest hit froic, still cannot revive members that died on the spot

Of course, in the end, the Mage Academy now is still financed by the Royal Fa in large nuic talent, on the surface it was a crusade against black ic and heathens, but in reality it was an ace in preparation against es

As ‘the last relic of the Legendary Era’, the Mage Acadeo The buildings form a circle, with a tall tower as the center That is where the na, that underneath the Mage Acadeate unsteady, dark mental waves

In this peaceful era without foreign enees are not needed Thus these gifted special soldiers, even though they want for nothing, are idle They are not imprisoned, and can leave here to return to society, but what awaits theh they have gained other worldly abilities, money, power, honor and so on, but to most of them, that has lost its appeal early on In the end, day after day, they could only spend their life exceeding the lireater power

To approach God, challenge God, replace God

The power to destroy and rebuild the world, the power to surpass and rewrite nature’s laws –

If the ‘Mage’s Ring’ did not exist, then this place ic hell

To control this power, for a large part relies on the choice of the Grand Mage

The Grand Mage e’s respect, or intellect and talent, at the sahest benefit for the Academy Most importantly, theythe weak, or killing innocent people

On these three points, the current Grand Mage John Cavendish, passes completely

Granted his diplomatic ability is a little weak, but a kind personality with no ahly praised by both the church and the royal house

Mr John Cavendish is around ninety years old, but still seee is different than what the rest of the world perceives, living at the top of a tall tower in the company of books every day, but rather in a s with his as also a e number a cats

While the Grand Mage was reading the Queen’s letter, his wife placed down afternoon tea and a tray of snacks, then s, watered the plants ater ele at the scene outside with extrehed, he would turn around, staring at the elder with respect – Wishi+ng he could grow another pair of eyes

The Grand Mage quickly finished reading the letter, and started asking for the details of the curse the siren was under The knight carefully described the shape of the blood ic circle, as well as his own observations In the process, the Grand Mage listened quietly, not planning to interrupt him at all

Once the knight finished speaking, the Grand Mage nodded, turning to look at the siren Under his gaze, the normally unrestrained siren, started to become a little uneasy

“No need to be scared,” the Grand Mage said, “I don’t plan to try and release your illusions To live in the hu yourself isn’t a bad thing What is your name?”
