The Abandoned
Hazard class EX.
A rating given to subjects in danger to the extent that a nation is simply overthrown and the existence of mankind is threatened.
The dungeon assigned to the graduation exam was, so to speak, such a dungeon.
After that, students who are taking the graduation exams arrive one after another.
And they all followed the same procedure as Catheus, overwhelmed by the powerful magic wave, and had no choice but to sit down.
“Nonsense.”
“Obviously, when I measured it from the outside, it was emitting an A-grade magic wave…!”
Is it an accident?
Leon shook his head.
To say that, the way things work is too cunning.
Ailee, who had a serious expression on her face, calmed her breathing with a deep sigh and said to Leon.
“Sorry. This is probably the work of the third prince.”
“If you’re the third prince, are you Ailee’s younger sister?”
“I think I’ve said it before, but my little sisters aren’t cute.”
It’s not that it’s not cute, it’s bloody.
If it’s Ailee’s younger brother, you’re saying that he’s a boy who hasn’t reached the age of majority yet, so why the hell did he do this?
“Do you have any evidence?”
“Because Bruce’s behavior has been weird lately. The relationship between the royal family and Matop is not very good, but Bruce caught the movement of making contact with the Masters and the president of the academy. I thought I was being vigilant enough, but I don’t think they’ll ever do something like this.”
“Assassination, is it?”
Ailee shook her head with a confused expression.
It’s a common thing.
He poisons, assassinates, and kills brothers and sisters who are fighting for the successor position.
Princess Ailee’s expression ‘my younger sisters aren’t cute’ was a sign that she had been being assassinated frequently.
“But I don’t know why they used such a drastic measure.”
He usually tries to assassinate, making it difficult to guess who attempted the assassination and why.
But this is too drastic.
Of course, since the grade of the dungeon is measured as A, even if Ailee dies in the dungeon, there may be an excuse for ‘failing the graduation exam due to Princess Ailee’s lack of competency’, but now Princess Ailee is with Leon.
An eight-circle arch mage, a dragon with the nickname of a thunder dragon.
Ailee’s closest aide, who can’t fail to capture only A-grade dungeons.
“It was probably trying to kill me.”
“you?”
“You know my sister. that I am preparing something. Actually, I was trying to make Lily and Anna my apprentice and put them on the top of the tower. As a colleague who will support me when I visit the Flame magic tower in the future.”
And the will of the 3rd Prince Bruce and Ma Tower coincided.
Bruce wanted to kill Princess Ailee, and from the tower, he wanted to kill Leon.
So this dungeon was prepared.
An EX-grade dungeon.
With the exception of Leon, all of his colleagues are just students.
Even Leon would have thought that he would not be able to attack an EX-class dungeon alone.
“But what about them? Catheus Forest is the next heir to the Great Island Tower. The team members who follow him are all promising prospects in their respective towers.”
“Didn’t your sister feel something strange?”
“Does this sound strange?”
“No matter how many students supported me in the academy, all of his team members, including Catheus, were students who believed in me fanatical.”
“no way······.”
“Assuming I succeeded in conquering the dungeon, I must have tried to dispose of only those who supported me.”
If that happens, even if Leon survives, it will be difficult to exert influence on the Magic Tower.
Only after losing all the powers that support him will he become a single fire general with excellent magical powers, nothing more, nothing less.
And the conversation between Ailee and Leon could be picked up by the students around them if they listened a little.
“I can’t, I can’t.”
Among them, the one who showed the most intense reaction was Catheus, the next candidate for the next karmatap state.
“Did your father approve of this plan? are you trying to kill me? No way!”
At those words, Ailee and Leon met their eyes for a moment and exchanged silent signals.
And Princess Ailee unlocked the information she had on herself.
“The people who are definitely involved in this plan are the elders of the Fire magic tower and the Wind magic tower, and the president of the Academy. Perhaps the Water magic tower and the Earth Island Tower did not know about this plan.”
I heard that Arya Rosbane, Rothbane’s hope, was dying, and there was no way he could stand still in the water tower.
In the case of the Great Island Tower, in order to maintain a favorable relationship with the Wind magic tower, it maintained a hostile position with Leon, but the next successor was a fanatical follower of Leon.
Perhaps, in exchange for providing Catheus and Anna Forest as sacrificial lambs, the Great Island Tower was deeply involved in the Demon Tower’s plans and tried to strengthen its influence.
Of course, their children Catheus and Anna know better than Leon, but they also actively denied that their father couldn’t do it.
Earthjima Tower is the most influential group of wizards in Philo Kingdom’s magic world.
The Marquis of Brea Gulf Forest, the owner of the Forest Magical Family and the owner of the Karma Tower, was struggling to somehow increase the influence of the family.
If he could sacrifice his two children and put the Great Island Tower on the same line as the other magic towers, he was a person who could have endured enough.
But that’s just a mere doubt.
Lily, on the other hand, was different.
Lily muttered with a sad expression on her face.
“That means I’m really abandoned.”
Among the people who are certain to have pursued this plan with the Third Prince Bruce were the elders of the Wind magic tower, and Lily Tempest was a member of the Wind magic tower.
In the Wind magic tower, Lily was on the side of Leon and was wary of causing a dispute within the Tempest Magic House.
If that is the case, then you can trample the seeds of that conflict.
It was clear that he was going to kill Lily Tempest and make Gale Tempest stand tall at the top of the Wind magic tower.
And the rest of the students who got caught up in the plan had no choice but to fall into despair.
“The magic tower has forsaken us…….”
“Even if we survive here, our path is blocked.”
“Of course, only when you can survive here.”
Fraud has bottomed out.
That’s right, their life has already come to an end because the tower, which has been their strong background, has forsaken them.
It is strange not to fall into despair.
But Leon, who was watching them silently, asked Ailee.
“sister. Did the Philo Kingdom’s magic tower imitate the system of the Millennium Empire?”
“yes? right. Because I saw the Millennium Empire effectively expanding its military power by building a magic tower. There is no need to go through trial and error just by following a proven method.”
“And with your sister’s power, isn’t it possible to build a new magic tower in the Philo Kingdom?”
“what······?”
Ailee made a shocked expression.
Because he understood what Leon was trying to say.
“Would you mind using all of your sister’s power to establish the fifth magic tower, which is being promoted by the Millennium Empire?”
In fact, this was the way Leon had been thinking ever since he met Olivia Ibrium.
Leon, and Principal Preschell, were very dissatisfied with the existing method of the tower.
It takes too much effort and time to gradually change the old tradition and the system from the inside out.
If so, how about building a new magic tower?
As a magic tower with a completely new system that reigns over all magic towers.
The problem was that Leon didn’t have the power to pursue that plan.
“···Is it possible.”
With Leon’s help, it was possible for the second Princess Ailee, who became the supreme ruler of the Philo Kingdom.
Leon, who heard Ailee’s confirmation, sat down on the floor and said to the students in despair.
“You are not finished yet. Raise your head and stand up. If you have been abandoned in the old magic tower, let’s build a new one with our own power. We promise you. I will do my best to become the owner of the newly established 5th magic tower. If you support me, I will provide you with a new home where you can rest in peace.”
Leon did not see this as a crisis.
Rather, it was an opportunity.
Leon’s supporters were, at best, his pupils, Lily and Anna.
The rest of the students, including Catheus, were abandoned for supporting Leon, but their personality had a strong fan club tendency that did not have any real influence on Leon.
A crisis turns into an opportunity if you can turn them into steadfast supporters rather than just followers.
“But, will we, who have already been abandoned in the tower, be of any help to Lord Leon?”
“of course.”
No matter how many of these people are abandoned in the tower, if they build up certain achievements one by one, they cannot be ignored even in the tower.
Leon, who was abandoned by his family, has proven it with his skills.
Of course, they are still, at best, only high-level wizards for students.
However, to put it that way, Lily and Anna were just students who lacked the skills they had.
Even just half a year ago.
Leon aroused his senses and analyzed the magic wavelength of the dungeon.
‘Also.’
Leon judged this dungeon’s grade as EX, but its magic wave was a momentum that was emitted from a single entity.
Practically, except for the boss monster who is the master of that magic wave, the monsters are at a level that goes from upper A-class to lower S-class.
Lily and Anna, who have acquired new heights by accumulating thorough training over the past half year,
And it was a level monster that Arya could handle.
Of course, it also meant that the boss monster that guards the core of this dungeon is stronger than the normal monster,
“I will get you back safely.”
Hope began to rise from the eyes of the students who had been drenched in despair at Leon’s voice.
“And watch out. The magic that Lily and Anna will perform from now on will also be the magic you will learn from now on.”
For a moment, the hope that had appeared in their eyes was colored with embarrassment.
“Are you going with Lily?”
As classmates taking the same graduation exam, they were well aware of the level of Lily and Anna’s level.
Even just half a year ago, a wizard with the status of 4 circles.
Even if you have raised the level of magic by being desperate in the past, there is absolutely not enough time to achieve more than 5 circles.
Therefore, even in this situation, Lily and Anna only thought that they were the protectors to protect, but Leon rather put Catheus and others behind and put Lily, Anna, and Arya in the lead.
And the magic that soon unfolded was different from the magic of the wind or earth attribute they knew.
Lily Tempest was an Order’s magic derived from the magical resonance of the wind element, and Anna Forest was a Genesis’s magic derived from the magical resonance of the earth element.
It was the debut stage for order magic and origin magic, which were differentiated from quantum magic.
