Different places across the World

  Year 2851 | Month 2 | Day 29

  At various times surrounding Nathan’s kidnapping, Class S magicians in four different locations get messages all about the same thing.

  On the northern end of the Kingdom of the Fallen, Juan Sequani grits his teeth when he sees the message about his student’s kidnapping. Then he finds himself forced to defend against attacks from the two Class S magicians in front of him.

  Only for one of the magicians to disappear into thin air, confirming Juan’s suspicion that the magician was an illusion.

  And that the original one was the magician who kidnapped his student.

  Meanwhile on the western end of the Kingdom of the Fallen, Adalwolf Giese just feels irritated at the kidnapping of his forcefully adopted son. He doesn’t feel any worry as he knows nothing can hurt the boy, but he still feels annoyed by the idea of one of the Class S magicians of the mainland interfering with the younger generation.

  But he can’t leave his battle either. Not yet.

  So he continues his own fight against the two Class S magicians in front of him.

  And after over an entire day passes since Nathan’s kidnapping, on one corner of the Republic of Arcania, the Chairman of the council stares at the message on his terminal with his eyes narrowed. Then he rubs his chin and begins to grin before muttering, “Interesting… very interesting.”

  After making a few preparations, the Chairman then proceeds to leave the Republic heading in the direction of the laboratory in the White Kingdom. All while the other two Class S magicians are already on their way there, having finally driven off their respective Class S magicians by now.

  Lastly, on a continent far away from the abandoned continents, a group of Class S magicians watch the entire affair on several screens. All while showing interest in seeing how the Class S magicians will clash once they arrive at the lab.

  And that’s another failure… I wonder just how long it’ll take for me to perfect mana manipulation?

  Actually, a better question would be how long it’ll take to be able to do mana manipulation. Much less perfect it.

  I open my eyes to look at my surroundings – which is, of course, still that little magical cage – to find that I am currently missing my arms and legs. Although they’re also reattaching themselves as I think about them. With the people outside of the cage taking notes.

  That explains why I couldn’t move my mana to my arms and was stuck trying to manipulate it around my chest instead…

  After looking for a few seconds, I close my eyes again and continue training.

  Over the course of the last day, these magicians have been going crazy about experimenting on me. But if I’m being honest, I barely notice most of what they’re doing thanks to my incredible pain tolerance.

  In fact, I think I feel worse pain just from wandering around the battlefield.

  As for their experiments? As I expected, none of them have born any fruit whatsoever on making themselves immortal.

  At most they’ve realized that it’s most likely not possible without the same natural mana disaster that happened all those years ago to happen again and somehow interact perfectly with someone again. Without killing them in the process, which is highly likely to happen if someone tried forcing it.

  And that’s assuming they even could try to force it.

  After all, it would take two Class S magicians battling, with one of them being a spatial magician, for it to happen. So they’d have to get the doctor’s permission.

  And there’s no way that would ever happen.

  Not to mention that even if they did get his aide, it wouldn’t amount to much. Since the chance it would result in the exact same accident is practically abysmal.

  Once they realized that, the magicians started thinking about other possibilities to get immortality. With one person even bringing up trying to have someone make a child with me to see if the child would have immortality too.

  That idea was thankfully shot down rather quickly though, mostly because I’m a vampire. And it’s a known fact in society that vampires can’t have children.

  Now whether that actually applies to me or not, I have no idea. But I doubt I’ll ever have kids anyways, so it doesn’t really matter to me.

  Other than that, they also discussed trying to eat my flesh. But none of them wanted to try that just for the infinitely small chance it would actually do something. Seeing as they’re not cannibals.

  Plus they knew the flesh would revert back to my body before they could even bring it to their mouth so there was no point in trying anyways.

  Oh, and there’s the fact that they’re afraid doing it would turn them into vampires too. Which I doubt it would.

  I do find the fact that none of the magicians are willing to enter the cage with me anymore after I burnt several of them to a crisp when they tried amusing.

  Except for the Class S magician, Emma. She’s perfectly fine coming in here to experiment on me since I can’t hurt her no matter how hard I try. Even when I blow myself up.

  When I did that she just waited until I ran out of mana to do her experiments.

  Rather patiently at that.

  I am rather surprised though by the fact that she didn’t even bother to take away my things. She just left them all on me.

  Except my sword, which she did take. But that makes sense.

  For now though, I’m just focusing on my-

  My thoughts cut off and my eyes fly open when I hear a loud explosion. With the first thing that enters my gaze after opening my eyes being the sight of the laboratory around the cage now covered in flames and a distinct lack of a ceiling that was once there.

  Then Juan slowly floats down into the laboratory.

  Nice. He’s finally here.

  Time to go back to the war again.
