Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Everyone who is watching the live broadcast in outer space has mixed feelings about the war that is happening right now.

Nevertheless, one thing can be for sure, they all wanted the Magicians to win the battle.

Luckily, their prayers seem to be answered as the Mech Knights casting various Mana Spells are dominating the fight.

The unusual form of Mana must've confused the alien invaders within those gigantic spaceships. The Mech Knights and their pilots are doing well as they control the flow of the fight against the enemy's humanoid machines…

"Are we winning?"

This is asked by a young girl while she's watching the event unfold in front of the screen.

A group of men was together with her inside the meeting hall... They are all part of the Ministry of Magic Education and were supposed to talk about the restructuring of their organization when the emergency broadcast occurred.

"Yes, Ezra... It looks like it. However, the enemy seems to be holding back... They have such a gigantic spacecraft, I'm sure that they have a trump card or something."

"That's right... But what's more important now is our action after this skirmish... We must gather our resources and create a stronghold just like what Wallace did in Mt. Raven... He made it an impregnable fortress!"

"Haha... He has truly come prepared, isn't he? I don't think that it's a bad idea. We can consider strengthening our base first and create a safe and hidden shelter for the VIPs..."

"There should be one created in the capital..." One of the officials reminded them.

"It is better if we have our own here... Although the capital has a strong barrier and magicians, we can do the same with our current resources."

Several suggestions came up while the top officials including Hayden Fraser remained silent for a while.

"I think it is better to supply Traceless Hand's factory instead... If we did that, we can ask for his protection inside his stronghold if we're in trouble..."

This is suggested by Troy Webb, one of Wallace's acquaintances during the international competition. He has been monitoring Wallace's move ever since then, so he was quite updated about the young man's factory...

"Well, I heard that he already stopped supplying VR Pods and Float System..."

"That's right... He's now focusing on the production of Mech Knights and small-scale Spaceships..."

"If that's the case... then it's the more reason we need to supply materials to him... He might consider creating a spaceship for us..."

"Sir... We already requested the Veritas Group for the Airship..."

"Oh... You're right. But it doesn't matter... We'll proceed with the plan."

The recently popular Airship were quite expensive and luxurious... Everyone, including them, wanted to travel in the sky...

It is such a valuable property that anyone would covet... However, the transatmospheric battleship that Wallace has created was even more lavish and beautiful. Not only that but it can also be considered as a flying fortress. There was no way that an airship could contend against that.

His spaceship was also proven and tested even in the harsh conditions so they really have a good impression on this.

They did not bother thinking of getting one spaceship before as the firepower it has was too strong and could be an issue with the security and firearms law. Unless they have the intention of going up to space, they wouldn't think about it...

However, the invader Aliens has already arrived near their solar system... They were sure that exceptions can be made and even if they don't have a license like Wallace, they will be exempted and allowed to possess one.

"Mhmm... We'll request a spaceship once we settle the resources needed... We just have to agree to whatever conditions they'll present to us. As long as we can have our spaceship, it's fine even if we lose most of our funds..."

"Yes, Sir Hayden!"

Everyone in this room has a high position within the Ministry and has a lot of influence in many fields. This is one of the reasons why they are confident that they can supply Wallace with a lot more resources.

For sure, they are not too late about this decision considering that he is still continuing his production. 

They can only hope that Wallace's action to intercept the Aliens now, can delay their descent here on their planet.

***

Ferdie and the other Mech Knight Pilots did an amazing job to destroy as many Mech Frame as they can without having a serious casualty.

Luckily, their Mana Barrier was very effective and unless their Mana Reserves runs out, they were practically untouchable.

However, as they were getting used to the Mech Frame's attack pattern, Avalon had suddenly warned them of incoming danger.

[ Twilight Armor Tech has been detected. Avoid all the Serpent's Marauder while the Armor is active. ]

Avalon repeated the warning twice as they did their best to move away from those Mech Frames…

The Twilight Armor's activation gave a red glow to the Mech's body like it is overheating!

They are easy to recognize so they managed to react appropriately whenever they get near.

Bang! Bang!

Some of the Mech Knight's pilots decided to shoot some Mana Spells on those Frame but it was still ineffective. 

They were like throwing water to a hot metal surface. Anything that comes close to their machines would be evaporated…

It is a very amazing armor and even the magicians are impressed about this.

[ 30 seconds before the Excellence's can cover our escape route. Save at least 15% of your Mana for your escape. ]

"Alright…"

Ferdie answered as he did his best to avoid the other Mech Frames from chasing him. Although most of them do not have the Armor Tech, they are still very annoying as they have Energy Shields that may also take some time to destroy unless they used Grade 3 and above Mana Spells.

"Everyone, we will rendezvous with the First Mech Division. Cast the Infrasonic Rays and maintain for your position… We will gather at the coordinates I've sent you… Hurry!"

Ray Penber suddenly connected. It appears that they were about to leave this place…

Ferdie then noticed that his team was still complete and only about half of them had incurred heavy damages like missing limbs and weapons on their Mech Knights.

They were very resilient with their Mana Spells protecting them…

On the other hand, as his Arcanist Phase is still active, he made sure not to waste it and maximized it by protecting their Division from retreating… Ray calculated this perfectly.

Whooszzh!

Whoosh!

Series of beams, lasers, missiles, and cannons were fired as soon as the Excellence was in range and in safe distance to avoid hitting the friendly units.

Finally! 

The pilots were extremely happy as Providence's burden has lightened after the Excellence arrived for their support…

On the other hand, Hilda Calem, the leader of the First Division had also activated her Radiance Form and ordered their retreat while still firing back at the enemy…

Unlike the other pilots, she became passive in this battle and barely shown her true skills… 

As soon as Wallace saw that the Mech Knights are no longer in the way, he gave an order to Avalon…

"Destroy the first Black Sovereign… It doesn't matter whether our Mana Reserves will fall to 15%... Just do it…"

[ Affirmative. ] Avalon replied dutifully…

With this order, the super A.I. controlled the Excellence to fire everything they got to destroy the spaceship…

This will be a tough battle as they do not have plenty of time… The Imperial Flagship would be able to move very soon…

Who knows, it might be capable of moving already but decided to just watch them for now and see their abilities…

Nevertheless, Ace remained calm in the situation as he gave an order to the magicians retreating to Providence.

"Retreat to the second line of defense. Coordinate with Veda… Try not to get in the way of the Arians!"

Ace notified them as he didn't wait for their reply and ended the communication link.

Although Providence can also provide significant damage to the spaceship with Aether Force as one of its sources of power, Ace wanted to save it for now as they do not have unlimited Mana Reserves in outer space.

They have to utilize it effectively and using it in the second line of defense together with the Omen IV would probably be the best in this situation…

Anyway, they have more or less succeeded at their surprise attack in this coordinate. They have already shown how threatening they can be as they immobilized their gigantic spaceships with only a few Mech Knights and a couple of Spaceships…

"Now… Let's see whether you have the Cube or not…"

Ace muttered as he glared at the damaged Black Sovereign in front of him. He has already sent out the controlled Mech Knights to approach the enemy's spaceship.

Everything here is also happening while the Excellence is clearing up the Mech Frames outside their spaceship…
