Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Tetsuo was terrified after seeing the Excellence in pieces. He just left his eyes on them for a minute and it was already destroyed by the Empire's Invader Spaceship?--No, it may not be the Invaders who managed to destroy it...

He needed to know what happened from Avalon.

Unfortunately, the Avalon installed to his space combat suit would prioritize the safety of its user first...

[ Warning: Activation of Subspace Blaster has been detected. ] 

"Tsk... Everyone, Fourth Defense Formation!"

The Dragon's Warrior Mech, as per Avalon's data, has Subspace Blaster Technology that even Wallace wouldn't dare to ignore...

It is as troublesome as their Radiant Wave Technology...

"Yes!"

Although the Adepts felt a bit tired after using their Shadow Embrace, they have to move or they'll be obliterated by their blaster cannon.

Clang! Clang!

The Mech Knights who are trying to save them fired some missiles and engaged into close combat battle but two of the Mech Frames weren't shaken by this and continued aiming at them...

'Urgh... I thought you guys are capturing us? Why are you pointing that cannon to us?!'

The man couldn't help but complain about their bad luck.

"Our shield can't defend against that thing yet... Quick!"

Even if they are on their Mech Knights, they wouldn't dare to take a hit from the Subspace Blaster. Especially now that they are in their space combat suit.

Whoossszzhhh!

The first beam missed but this gave them the information they needed to correct the trajectory of their attack...

They have formed a formation in which they would be able to easily avoid the shot without letting the others get in trouble in their stead.

If they moved in a cluster, the Warrior Mech could easily fire at them and hit someone even without a high accuracy...

"Spectral Cloak! Now!"

Their suit suddenly turned completely black before disappearing on sight. This may not be as effective as their previous camouflage, but this should be able to avoid their auto-lock systems.

As long as they can trick the enemy's A.I., they should be able to somehow avoid the manually targeting technique of the pilot.

Whoossszzhhh!

Another beam was shot and it was very close to one of the magicians...

It affected his Mana Spell and was now revealed completely...

Luckily, the Mech Knights assisting them managed to disrupt the Warrior by emptying their missiles and charging towards the enemy without care for any damages.

Since this is controlled by the A.I., there wouldn't be a magician casualty even if it sacrificed itself...

Avalon clearly understands this as the Mech Knights fight desperately...

"We can't just wait here... Help the Mech Knights!"

"Yes!"

***

The explosion of the Excellence didn't just surprise the surviving Mech Pilots but also the people watching the live broadcast...

No one had ever expected that he would have to sacrifice the very first spaceship sent to outer space in this battle at the Lagrange Point.

"What's going to happen now? Did he survive that?"

"This is scary... How did it happen so fast?"

"The Providence is still fighting… They can do this!"

The people that are watching from their homes could understand the implication of getting the Excellence destroyed…

Its impact is definitely higher than the Omen's destruction… After all, Wallace is also in that spaceship!

That young man is the perpetrator of all of these plans to fight against the Aliens! It would be extremely bad if the person who knows a lot about these Aliens would die like this!

Everyone could only pray that Wallace had managed to survive just like the surviving Mech Pilots behind them.

As this was all happening, the news of the Excellence's destruction came to Wallace's ears…

"Is there something wrong, young man?" 

An old man's voice was heard as he asked Wallace… The man perhaps noticed that his body stiffened for a moment after learning about the news.

"Mhmm… It seems that the other me had gotten into some trouble…" 

Wallace smiled wryly as he listens to Avalon who is silently giving him a report about the current battle.

"Is that so?  You should go and help him…" 

"Nah… He can deal with it… I'm sure that he still has something on his sleeves. That's me, after all."

Wallace answered confidently.

"Hoho~ Now that you said it… You're someone who can deal with the Celestials as well… So, shall we proceed?"

"Yes… I need to learn this now…"

Wallace replied to the old man as he wanted to know more about this person's secrets.

That's right, he's together with Aeolia Schien and this guy wouldn't stay that long within the southern continent… 

Aeolia only agreed to be here with Wallace as the latter wanted to teach him more about the discoveries he made about the Mana… Aside from the Seventh Generation that he is slowly learning, Aeolia still has another important power… 

It is to control the floating island of the northern continent… At the moment, he had to request the old man's help to bring them here while he only assists on the sidelines.

However, once the old man left, no one would be able to control these islands and would perhaps just roam around the southern continent wherever the wind blows.

"You have an Astral Core with you… I envy you. This would be easier than what you've thought…"

Aeolia smiled as he let the young man in the deepest room of the floating island.

Apparently, each island has similar rooms that this man has created in order to control them better.

Although it can be done without this special room, it would be extremely taxing to the Mana Practitioners…

Whooom~

As soon as he entered the room, Wallace was assaulted by a tremendous amount of mana… It was like he's being subjected to a cyclone attack or something similar.

He then controlled his Astral Core for a moment and created a Mana Shell that ignored the effects of the rampaging mana…

"That's quite fast… Anyway, that violent mana wouldn't last for five seconds…"

Aeolia smiled as he stepped inside the room.

There is only one thing that is placed here and that is a blue sphere filled with unusual energy. Wallace still couldn't tell whether this is mana or not but he finds it quite familiar…

"Oh… Is this Zaimphail Reactor?"

"You even know about this? You're impressive…"

Even without Avalon's reminder, Wallace managed to recall the core of the Iron Knights.

The Steel Knights that are based with the Iron Brigade Unit or the Iron Knights, uses Molten Core as its main energy supply. They said that it is a copy of the Iron Knight's core in which Avalon has recognized as the Zaimphail Reactor before due to its matching appearance that exceeded 70% on their record.

That is also thanks to the logbook they translated before.

"How are you using this reactor?" Wallace asked curiously.

The cores like this are normally used to run machines or perhaps as a weapon itself. However, he's curious about how it affects the floating island itself.

Aeolia obliged and explained how it works. He explained how the energy created from this core connects to the other floating islands and not only it helps him control the island but also including the other islands with a similar reactor.

However, this wasn't discovered without a sacrifice… The old man mentioned that there are tons of these floating islands in the past but were destroyed after he decided to try and control them…

Of course, he's not regretting it at all since the islands will now be used as a weapon to fight against the Empire.

"Right, I heard that Master Slaine is still here… Is that true?"

Wallace asked after Aeolia briefed him about the method to control the island.

"Slaine? That man is still practicing his Secret Art… Haa~ He really wants to evolve it to a higher level…"

Wallace squinted his eyes in confusion…

'Secret Art?... Ahh…'

"Did you mention something about how to improve the AOTL? You've already given us an idea before… Is this a different one?"

"Hoho… Do you also want to know?"

"Of course…"

"Mhmm… Then, just ask the man himself… He'll be willing to teach you anyway. I've only glanced at his AOTL briefly, so I can only give him some inspiration…"

"Inspiration? Like what?"

Wallace really likes the power of lightning so he's very interested in it.

"I just told him the flaws of the Secret Art's final ability. It appears that he already found a solution and working on it…"

"Final ability… Is it the Roar of Thundering Destruction?"

Wallace muttered to himself… The AOTL has many skills including Lightning Break, Thunder Fist, Lightning Flash, and the final ability mentioned… The practitioner can learn each skill depending on the stage of their understanding of the Art.

This made him smile as he also got curious about this… He thought that he already learned everything about this Secret Art, after all…

"Let me see him now…"

Wallace said as he left the room after thanking the old man. Aeolia already taught him the method of controlling the island and he only needed to practice for the next few days and he should be fine...

***

While Wallace is doing all of this,  Ace woke up and found himself inside a small spacecraft heading towards the Moon Base…

He was a bit confused so he asked his A.I.

"Avalon, what happened?"
