#10 Their Situation: The Situation of a Certain Magic Tower

Magic Tower.  

It is the holy place and homeland of magicians.

A very long time ago, in what is now called ancient times.  

Magic was a skill that was rejected as the power of the devil, and magicians who could use magic were outcasts to people.

Outcast leads to rejection.  

Just because they were magicians, people regarded them as the same as the devil.

That was not the end.  

Some people started hunting beyond rejection, and the moment their lives were threatened, magicians also started to unleash their pent-up resentment.

People killed magicians, and magicians killed people, these things continued.  

Even people who had nothing to do with it became targets of anger.  

An ordinary human killed a magician who did not take any action at all.  

The magician who was angry at that killed ordinary people living ordinary lives.  

Once, twice, three times…….  

Murders that started in small villages gradually grew larger and erupted into a war between ordinary humans and magicians.  

Then God gave an oracle.

– Magicians are not heretics!  

It was the word of God. The word of God that humans could not defy.  

Originally it had to be absolutely obeyed, but humans did not stop. Because the god who uttered that word was the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion herself.  

At that time, magic was like a miracle of God.

Fire rose in the empty air, and the solid ground moved as if it were alive.  

Skilled magicians could even manipulate the climate with magic, so who would think of them as ordinary people?  

That’s why ordinary people thought. A being that can perform miracles like God can only be the devil.

But why did God give an oracle?  

Because the one who gave that oracle was the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion.  

People thought that the most merciful and devoted goddess would even pity devils, and furthermore, that she was deceived by the words of evil devils.  

The Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion had worked so hard and shown her mercy ever since the world was created that humans thought she would forgive them no matter how bad things they did.  

In fact, that was the case.  

The Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion tried to reform even the most heinous criminals with mercy and devotion to the end.

While many people repented and regretted their sins because of her actions, a contradictory situation arose where people did not listen to her words because of those actions.  

As a result, the conflict between non-magician humans and magician humans was not resolved.  

It was maddening for the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion.  

She had to look at the earth with a grieving heart every day, and asked other gods to give oracles through them.

But the ancient gods were all reluctant to interfere with the earth.  

Because of the existence of evil, there was no concept of heroes and apostles until just before chaos came to the earth.  

The only one who reacted was the older sister of the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion.

But the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion knew.  

The moment her older sister, the Goddess of Greed and Desire, moves, the world will be ruined.  

Surely for the fun of it she will instigate conflict between non-magician humans and magician humans.  

So the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion tried alone to prevent the conflict between non-magicians and magicians. 

Did her efforts work? A great magician appeared among the magicians.  

He told his many followers to believe in the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion.  

Ordinary people are just afraid of them, and if magicians act a little more virtuously, they won’t have to fight, he said.  

Other magicians did not believe his words. Too much had already been lost.  

They rejected his words and resisted.  

But the great magician acknowledged it.  

Because he knew much had been lost.  

Because he knew that if they were wrong, they could lose even more.  

-But that’s that. 

He acknowledged it but did not just leave it at that.

-You have to follow me.  

The great magician who uttered those words suppressed all magicians by force.

The great magician was strong.  

He was not transparent, but the moment he demonstrated his magic, all the magicians collapsed.  

The great magician ordered his disciples and followers to pick up the fallen magicians. And he led them to the huge tower he made with magic. 

Of course, it was a tower that went underground starting from the 1st floor so as not to intimidate humans.  

There, until humans were no longer afraid of magicians, the great magician and those who followed his will studied and taught magic, and waited and waited again until people no longer rejected magicians.

As time passed, swordsmen who awakened magic power appeared.  

Evil spread across the world, and somehow a stupid god became an evil god and brought crisis to the world.  

While countless nations were born and disappeared, magic naturally became the power of humans, and the Magic Tower was gradually able to come out into the world.

The most representative of that is the change in the outward appearance of the Magic Tower. 

Towers that were not made underground but towers that appear huge even when looking from the outside began to be built.

But there is one thing that does not change, that is the independence of the Magic Tower.  

The Magic Tower maintained its independence from any external power.

For a long time, the value of the Magic Tower, which were the hometown and pride of magicians, should be magic, not power.

With that pride alone, the magicians of the Magic Tower resisted the temptations of other countries and maintained their identity.

There were kings who tried to bring the Magic Tower under their influence through all kinds of persuasion and threats, but there was no one who succeeded.

In the end, the royal family had no choice but to raise magicians on their own, and there were also places that created independent magician training institutions.

The representative place is the Magic School Marcis of the Karan Empire.

There, the magicians belonging to the empire and the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower were waging a covert war to find outstanding talents.

If I tell the story of the Magic Tower after that, there will be no end, but if I tell the most important history, it will be about this much.

“This is the history of the Magic Tower.” 

The magician of the Magic Tower finished speaking and looked around.

“From a very long time ago, we have lived in Magic Towers and studied and learned magic. There were times when we fought with non-magicians, but thanks to the efforts of the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion, magicians were also recognized as a category of human society.”

They were still young magicians. Early to mid 20’s.  

They were certainly talented, but lacked mental strength.

What is needed to become an excellent magician is the mental strength to make cool-headed judgments in any situation, and the sophistication to analyze the opponent and use the optimal magic.

The situation on the continent was so bad that even magicians lacking that had to be sent out.  

So this magician was teaching them the history of the Magic Tower.  

The hardships and adversity of the magicians, and the process of overcoming them and being where they are now.

“In order to repay the grace to the Goddess of Benevolent and Devotion who did her best for us, we must defeat the evil god.”

The Goddess of Compassion and Devotion was a god respected by any being in the world.  

Beyond the human continent and the demon continent, even the dragons who don’t even believe in gods recognize the Goddess of Compassion and Devotion.

The magicians were the same. No, the magicians did not forget that the Goddess of Compassion and Devotion had worked for them in the past.

“Fight for the pride of the Magic Tower and magicians. Saving the world from the evil god. That’s why people praise us as magicians from the Magic Tower, and that’s leaving our pride in history!

Seeing the young magicians nodding their heads, the magician of the Magic Tower raised his wand.

“Everything is for the truth of magic!”

“Everything is for the glory of the Magic Tower!”

Such shots rang out and spread from countless Magic Towers on the continent that existed for magic and Magic Towers.

Just looking at it, it seemed as if the magicians of the Magic Tower would overthrow the army of the evil god.

But the world was not so easy.

“Craaak!”

In the claws of a griffin that appeared in the sky, a magician was caught and disappeared.

Soon after, with a ‘quajeek’ sound, the magician who fell to the ground turned into a bloody mess.

“Use magic towards the sky!”  

“The ground too!”

“Ahhhh! The front line! The front line is penetrated!”

A battlefield full of swear words and screams.

Even the so-called noble magicians were no different from ordinary soldiers once they entered the battlefield.

“Tsk… I didn’t think it would be this much….”

The head of the Magic Tower, Remin, who led the magicians and came to support the Makel Kingdom, clicked his tongue at the stronger-than-expected army of evil gods.  

No matter how much the army of evil gods is blessed by evil gods, it is not like the Demon King whose magic does not work.

But compared to ordinary monsters, it felt like less than half or even less firepower was coming out.

“Lord of Magic Tower!”

At the scream of an elder like a scream, the lord of the Magic Tower, Remin, turned his head.

“Damn……!”

New enemy.

Seeing the army of the evil god that seemed to exceed at least a thousand, Remin gritted his teeth.  

“Wicked things.”

At first, they met with small-scale troops of hundreds.  

With that small number of enemies, they let them use magic to teach battle experience to magicians with no combat experience.

In their first battle, many magicians from the magic tower could not distribute their magic power properly.   

In the case of the military, they focus solely on instantaneous firepower to raise magicians and continue to give them experience using it.  

However, in the case of the Magic Towers, they approach magic as a lifelong academic pursuit, allowing them to use a variety of magic, but rarely having the opportunity to actually use it.   

In the case of students from Marcis at least, they had opportunities to use magic in the empire, but that magic was not for killing.   

There were exceptions for monsters called Yugrasia, though.

Anyway, the inexperienced magicians unleashed their maximum firepower on the army of the evil god, and ended up squandering their magic power.   

The crisis came after that.   

Continuously appearing small-scale troops of the evil god.   

With diminishing magic power, they were unable to defeat the newly appearing troops of the evil god, and the number of troops continued to increase.   

In the end, the magicians of the Magic Tower and the soldiers of the kingdom who were pushed back had no choice but to rely on the walls of nearby territories and engage in siege warfare, and the army of the evil god did not miss the opportunity.

Push them like this. If we fight until our magic power runs out, we will be able to massacre the powerful magicians!  

He was acting as he was  saying that.

It was unbelievable that it was the army of the evil god left with only destructive instincts and no intelligence.

It didn’t feel far-fetched to feel that way. 

Even now, monster species with insufficient numbers are coming in one by one to provide the necessary troops!

“Report from the observation soldier! The newly emerged army has a large army with ogres and trolls!”

“Damn it!”

No matter how sturdy the castle walls are said to be, they can collapse from the attacks of cursed ogres.  

That’s why we used up all the extra magic power to eliminate the ogres, but it turned out to be futile.

“How many magic recovery potions do we have left?”

“About 50 left.”

At the words of the army officer here, the Mage Tower master Remin could not help but frown.  

“Not enough…”

The amount of magic recovery potions used so far was considerable. 

If it was another territory, the potions would have probably run out already, with so many magicians drinking magic recovery potions over and over again.

The lord of this place prepared really well in anticipation of the army of the evil god.  

But it’s not enough.  

The army of the evil god was more sinister and stronger than human thoughts.  

If this continues, everyone will die.

“That can’t be!”

As the master of the Magic’s Tower, the representative of the Magic’s Tower, he could not lead the magicians who believed in him and followed him to their deaths.  

“What a pity.”

The Magic Tower master suddenly recalled his missing granddaughter.  

She was a very reckless child.

What child would think of joining the worst evil organization in the empire when the family seal went missing?

It was a child who disappeared like running away, defying everyone’s dissuasion. 

Escaping the eyes of magicians from the Nermia family, known as the distinguished family of magicians.

How was she after that?

After the fall of Howling, she returned, contracted the Great Demon, enrolled at Marcis.  

Then, she was the only one to bring defeat to the Empire Competition in Yugrasia.

And after the Empire Competition, she withdrew from Marcis, entered Yugrasia, and even became the student council president.  

That was his granddaughter, one of the three who led Yugrasia to its prime.  

“However, fortunately.”

Her summoned beast Surtur would have been very helpful in this situation.  

It would have been able to deal with those ogres, and bought time for the magicians to safely use magic.

But even that had limitations. No matter how excellent his granddaughter was, magic power has limits because she was still human.

“Well, it’s time to live an ordinary life now.”

After disappearing suddenly, then appearing suddenly again, his granddaughter hid in the Magic Tower.  

As if fearing something, like a cripple.

Asking such a granddaughter to go to the battlefield, he thought he was quite a bad grandfather even to himself.  

“Perhaps I become more sensitive as death approaches.”

The Magic Tower master smiled bitterly and raised his staff.  

If this battle of attrition continues, this place will be captured.

But he had to resist desperately.  

If the heroes or imperial army comes before it falls, that would be best.  

“Now, let’s…”

“Magic Tower lord!”

Magic power gathered in the staff began to press down the air.  

The Magic Tower, the homeland of all magicians.  

Remin’s magic power, leading one of those Magic Towers, had long surpassed human limits.   

“Come on! Evil god army! I will take you on!”

A huge wind storm tore apart the vanguard of the enemy and moved forward.  

“Oh!”

As more than 100 evil god troops disappeared in an instant, the morale of the soldiers and magicians began to rise.   

“Behold, this is the power of the Magic Tower master!”  

At that moment when Remin shouted such.

KwaAaAaAh!

“Huh?”  

A roar more than 10 times Remin’s magic was heard.   

“Huh?”

And he saw more than 10 times the troops disappear compared to the ones Remin had taken down.   

“What, what is it?”

Moreover, the troops Remin had taken down were low level monsters like goblins and orcs, but the monsters that disappeared from the roar included powerful monsters like ogres and trolls.   

“Ah, reinforcements for the evil god troops have disappeared!”  

“Has a dragon appeared or something?”

Taking down over a thousand evil god troops in one blow!  

Only a dragon could achieve such a feat.   

“Um, over there!”  

Then the soldier observing with a magic tool saw what looked like thousands of troops.   

“Reinforcements!”  

At least hundreds of magicians have unleashed joint magic.  

That’s what the magicians thought, then a giant of fire appeared before them.  

KuoOoOoh!

As the giant swung its blazing huge greatsword, evil god troops disappeared in the hundreds.  

“Huh?”  

The overwhelming firepower made their struggle meaningless.   

“That is…”  

And Remin, who knew that giant that seemed bigger than before but still recognizable, snatched the observation soldier’s magic tool aggressively.  

“Oh my…”  

He can see his granddaughter leading the army at the very front.   

“Magic Tower lord… Should I knock him out?”

Seeing his granddaughter casually using magic he threw with all his might as if her magic power had just run out a bit, the Magic Tower master seriously considered retirement.
