300 years ago, the fourth summer.
Dirbeta wire.
“Your magic is lame.”
At the words of Rin, the great wizard of the warrior party, the wizards of Magic League Battle Division 1 stood up in a fit of fuss.
“Of course I know you’re an Aquizard (5-star) mage, but are you saying we’re lame?”
“We are also battle mages recognized as the best in the empire!”
“Please withdraw that insulting remark.”
However, Rin looked at them expressionlessly, then shook her head and turned around.
“It’s okay, don’t follow me. It just gets in the way.”
Watching Rin leave, the wizards were dumbfounded and exchanged glances. That orphan with no roots… … . There were also those who had such thoughts.
‘Heh, how good he is… … .’
Yusrin, who had just turned 20 after graduating from ＜Delayten＞ at the top of her class, moved further from looking at her with respect.
He secretly followed the warriors party with his special ‘hide presence’ magic.
“… … This.”
And the reality she witnessed… … It was a real nightmare.
The forces of the abyss that blacken the horizon, the ‘old things’ that make it impossible to even move one’s body with primal fear engraved in human instincts from time immemorial.
In front of that huge and fearful wave of death, Rin did not back down at all and continued to reduce the enemy force by endlessly intercepting with magic.
‘How many magic potions do you eat… … ?’
Magic potions are a means of forcibly restoring mana, and because of the enormous burden imposed on the magic potion, magicians did not take it except in dire circumstances.
Among the wizards, there was even a saying, ‘Selling the future to fill the present’, so I said it all.
I already have dozens of such potions… … . His entire body was covered with cold sweat, while making such a painful expression.
“I think I’ll eat more than 30 on average in one battle?”
Then a voice answered the question.
When she turned around in shock, she saw a beautiful woman wearing a pure-blooded witch’s robe embroidered with gold threads on a dragon, holding a smoking pipe and staring at her.
“Ph, Friede-sama… … !”
Yuthrin immediately got down on one knee and bowed. Even though the nationality is different, the status of a shaman is far higher.
“Hmm, I don’t think you came here for a bad purpose?”
Then, a girl with light blue hair peeked out from behind Friede’s legs. It was a very wary expression.
Above the girl’s head, Pipi, a sun parrot famous as Friede’s companion bird, tilted her head.
“Bad, bad, bad.”
Yusrin asked cautiously.
“A bad purpose?”
“A bad purpose is a bad purpose. If I had come for that, I would have blown it right away.”
“… … You really care about Rin.”
Then, Friede smiled and nodded.
“Of course, we are the youngest. This is our daughter.”
It was a smile filled with indescribably deep and wide affection. Enough to stare at me in awe for a moment… … . Yuthrin came to her senses and said.
“Shouldn’t that be dried up? If you’re unlucky enough to eat potions like that and run out of magic, you might not be a wizard for the rest of your life!”
“know. Me too, Lindo.”
“Then why are you leaving me alone? No, if you’re going to push yourself like that, why did you tell us that? Wouldn’t it be a little easier if we added our strength?!”
Friede puffed out a puff of cigarette smoke and looked up at the starry sky with a sorrowful smile.
“There are two reasons for saying that. First of all, I hope that all the guys who came to help will die, so you guys don’t die.”
“… … !”
“And another reason… … It’s because I don’t have the courage yet. The courage to be honest with yourself and others.”
Bitterly biting into the smoking pipe, Friede looked at Rin’s back as she repeatedly weaved the magic square.
It’s okay though.
Lin, you are still young.
You just have to grow up in the future. There is no need to forcefully change that state already. Because your life starts now.
“I don’t have the courage to fight!”
At that time, the girl with sky blue hair, Turayna, shouted loudly, shaking her head like a parrot teasing.
“Cjol, Jjol, Jjol, Rin is Jjolbo.”
“Pippi, you!”
Seeing that cute brawl, Friede grabbed his stomach and burst into laughter.
“What I said is not that kind of courage.”
“Then what is it?”
“Well, maybe Turaina and Rin will know when they grow up.”
And a year later, the young archmage died protecting his colleagues in the final fight.
At the age of eighteen, he hadn’t even become an adult.
The war ended in the tears of those left behind.

“Oh my God, I never thought it would be at this level… … .”
Professor Caroline was speechless. No, everyone who watched the situation did.
‘It’s truly an incredible talent.’
Elin Ludwig opened her eyes and thought.
‘Desire, one of the best summoned beasts among the flame reapers of the Rivendell School.’
Imoogi, foxes, hawks, and fire toads.
Among them, the Imoogi, which is said to have been mainly used by the great wizard Orbos Kaline, the founder of the Rivendell School, was famous for being picky about the owner of the contract.
In the long history of the Rivendell School, weren’t there only five people who could handle desire?
‘It’s not like I haven’t summoned it perfectly yet, it’s probably about 30% of the power… … Still, at most, a 16-year-old chick is a wish.’
Christa Warden, of course, knew the prestige of such desire.
“There is a way to win against that… … ?”
Christa thought of a way for Gertrude to win, but… … nothing came to mind
A hawk focused on attack.
A fire toad focused on defense.
A fox focused on fantasy.
Unlike the three, the Imoogi is a spell that combines both attack and defense. It was truly an absolute perfect summoner.
‘Are you kidding me?’
At the point of using the wish net, the cadet level was already far beyond. Even quite a few professional wizards say it’s the Bilbil Gil level.
Qrrr!
With a scream close to detonation, the stone that the Imoogi’s gigantic mouth attacked was engulfed in dazzling flames and burned.
Truly formidable power, the rock could not melt and became ashes and flew away.
‘What is this… … ?!’
Gertrude, who had managed to roll over on her side, gasped for breath and looked back at the owner of the surreal heat.
rrr… … .
When Lillian aimed her talisman at Gertrude, the serpent wrapped around the rock immediately burst into flames. Then, it merged again into the form of a snake and rushed at it like a snake.
‘I can’t avoid it, I can’t avoid it… … !’
At that time, the professors were even talking to the head professor that the exams should be stopped.
“Even if you don’t actually die, the pain will be beyond imagination! It will remain as a trauma!”
“Head Professor!”
The true intention of this test is not to make the cadets die and die… … Amidst such clamor, Head Professor Marhena closed her eyes.
‘Is it not there, or is it not here again?’
At the very moment when she hesitated and raised her staff to release the barrier and turn all illusions to nothing, an afterimage of the past flashed past her eyes.
No, it wasn’t an afterimage.
The window that floated in the lower right corner of the clairvoyant, and the boy’s eyes gazing at the wish from there burned bloody red and then began to rotate into a silvery-white seven-pointed star. Just like Ludwig the Skalge once did.
“Bell Curious.”
A pounding, momentary burst of pain surged through his heart, and Lane’s vision turned red. In this red-black world, everything slows down.

The visual image imprinted in the brain through the eyes is not a landscape, but only the establishment equation that constitutes the supernatural ability. There is no formula that the eye cannot decipher.
“Interpretation complete, start calibration.”
Invert the establishment equation.
so that the conclusion converges to 0.
It is verified by inverse calculation to satisfy other established equations. By introducing a new algebraic equation, the real root is removed from the magic formula and only the imaginary root is converted.
– It’s three times.
Skalge Ludwig warned so.
– As a result of the test, the current four mana is three times the maximum. Of course, the higher the rank of the magic you are trying to interfere with, the shorter the limit.
This is the final magic.
I was already in a situation where I used up most of my mana just because I was chasing monsters… … .
– If your magic power has reached its limit, then never use it. Because it will become inactive. So only use it when it’s really important.
All the blood vessels that had expanded like a spider’s web around the eyes burst and blood dripped down.
sick.
It really hurts.
Slowly, the light of the Seven Stars faded from Rain’s eyes and turned into a death star, then disappeared altogether.
‘I did something stupid…’ … .’
He was just about to return to District F, the last safe zone, after finishing the hunt as planned. Now, it would have been a part where you just had to nest in the right place and defend the ranks.
‘… … .’
If Lista, Friede, and Kies had been in the same situation, would they have turned a blind eye to Gertrude? Those endless questions grabbed Lane’s ankles.
‘No, no.’
Logan and his fight with the Rat-Spider Queen made it clear. This is because the more you fight against strong enemies, the faster you can reach 6 stars.
‘This is not helping Gertrude. It’s all for my combat experience… … .’
The moment Lane closed his eyes.
The serpent of flame whose equation was fundamentally denied——
That absolute flame that surged right before Gertrude’s eyes in a murderous wave of heat——
It disappeared, scattering countless sparks across the horizon. returned to nothing.
“oh… … ?!”
“Oh oh oh oh… … ?!”
“Uh uh uh uh… … ?!”
As the hot wind raged and Gertrude’s skin was scorched, everyone was unable to open their mouths for a moment. Because I couldn’t believe the reality that happened in front of my eyes.
‘Did Lillian just threaten you?’
‘Yes, it’s ridiculous to attack people with desire.’
However, Lillian, who was present at the scene, had her pupils dilated as if she was the most perplexed.
‘Desire… … has disappeared… … ?’
There are frequent cases where the desire is hit by the opponent’s magic. And to hide when the magic damage is accumulated.
But this wasn’t it.
The emptiness that the link connected by magic was suddenly and forcibly cut off… … How the hell am I supposed to explain this strange phenomenon?
“… … .”
And there was a wizard watching the situation with more violently shaking eyes than her. It was the head professor, Marhena.
‘In this Battle Royale exam method, there is one rule that all the cadets know for sure without having to explain it.’
That is, ‘there is no merit at all in helping others’.
It is said that it is said that it is obi samcheok (吾鼻三尺), how can you afford to take care of other people’s circumstances when it is difficult to handle your own work.
‘And isn’t that a problem only for middle and lower rank cadets?’
High-ranking cadets, who are relatively wealthy, also cannot afford to take care of others because of the competition for S grades.
This test is designed to find out whether or not there is a sincere chivalry to help others in just such a situation, with limited time and resources, and the specificity of a competitive test.
‘I don’t even need to explain why Rin’s story has touched so many people for so many years.’
Because it is a story of growth.
Because the story of one ‘wizard’ approaching the level of ‘sage’ is contained in his life.
‘Emissa Paige, Riot Warden… … What the sages of the preceding generation had in common was that they were all righteous.’
And the Archmage Rin was also reborn as a being who knew how to sacrifice herself for the sake of her comrades at the last moment.

‘Perhaps the answer to the path to the sage may lie in his righteous disposition… … .’
None of the professors noticed the real intent behind creating this test. It is only natural that there are no other people who have reached the same level of enlightenment as me.
‘From that evaluation standard.’
Marhena smiled happily at Lane Ludwig’s face reflected in the window, at the face where the smile of Ludwig the Scourge from her student days overlapped.
“Scalzi, your grandson Noom is 200 out of 100.”
