Year 2851 | Month 5 | Day 11
“This trial is meant to test how well you can attack and defend against your enemies,” Crimson continues speaking as everyone shows various different reactions to learning which organizations they’re going after. “You need to be able to protect your Magic Tower, and to wipe out the enemies of your tower. Those are fundamental requirements for Tower Masters. Now I wish you luck. The trial begins now.”
The moment he says that, he leaves without a word. Just turning into a blob of blood before slowly dissipating into droplets of blood before disappearing entirely.
But at this point, none of the Class S magicians are paying any attention to him. They’re all focused on their targets.
Especially because, while we can choose the times the broadcast shows us, the initial announcement of the trial and its rules was broadcast to the entire world. Including our targets.
Which means that all of our targets know exactly who we’re after.
That we’re after them.
And that’s not good.
The only bright side is that our only requirement for the broadcasting is that we have to broadcast are main assault on our target. Other than that, what we broadcast is up to us.
So I go ahead and turn off the broadcast as I begin doing research on the Blacklight Group.
And while I do that, I see the other magicians around me all immediately making their way to their own ships. After which I see their own ships appearing to pick them up. With the ships they arrived on all leaving once the Class S magician it brought is gone.
These ships don’t belong to us after all.
That said, the one I came on is still going to stay, since they said I can keep using the ship throughout the entire set of trials. Simply because they know I don’t have any ship of my own to carry me.
I’m from the abandoned continents after all.
And the abandoned continents don’t have flying ships.
Anyway, from what I can find about the Blacklight Group, both from what I find online and what I learn in an intel package sent to me by the Magic Towers, I don’t have to worry about much. At all.
The Blacklight Group is strong, but they’re very independent. They are a well known group of underworld mercenaries. But while they are technically mercenaries, they only ever side with evil organizations.
They’re also considered to be very powerful as they have a Class S magician and several Class A magicians on their side.
In fact, that’s all they have.
All of their members are at least Class A magicians, with their leader being the Class S magician.
So they’re a very small group, but they’re powerful.
In total, they have fifteen members. Fourteen Class A magicians and the Class S. And they look down on anyone who is below Class A.
As for non-magicians? They pretty much treat them as slaves to run the day to day affairs of their mercenary group. Paying them as little as possible without any actual care for their safety.
That said, they don’t kill the non-magicians or break the laws of their nation in an obvious way. And since they still pay them, they weren’t considered an illegal organization for a while.
They only recently got put on the hitlist by the nation they’re in and declared illegal by said nation. A neutral nation on the continent of Trelah. Not because they only recently turned bad or something, but because they’re a newer and undefeated organization. One that is technically still a mercenary company.
So it was only determined later on that they were a threat to the nation. After the nation’s leadership confirmed they were only taking requests from underworld organizations, with a lot of those requests being to attack the nation itself.
And thanks to the Class S magician present in the organization, the problem was directed to the Magic Tower branch in the nation. Which was then redirected to the trial.
To me.
Hmm…
The Class S magician in the organization is a dark affinity magician, while the Class A magicians are mostly just regular affinity magicians without any special affinity magicians amongst them. And the organization itself doesn’t use any non-magicians in combat.
In their eyes, non-magicians are useless.
Well, whatever. I just have to wipe them out.
And that won’t likely be difficult.
I glance at the ship hovering nearby. The one that the Magic Tower gave me to use for the trials.
They never said anything about how to use it, or what happens if it’s damaged, so…
I frown a little before nodding my head. Then I jump up and begin using my flight spell to go to my own ship. And when I get on my ship, I go ahead and set course for the organization’s base of operations.
But not before pulling out something from my storage device and setting the thing up in the engine room of the ship.
Of course, as we go, I make sure to have any of the people on the ship other than me leave the ship. With the ship itself set to go straight towards the base.
I also make sure to ask Crimson through a text what will happen if the ship is damaged or destroyed in the battle. And he just said he would replace it.
So I nod my head with a smile while heading to the front of the ship.
In that case, there’s nothing wrong with this strategy.
I pull up the internet before looking for anything I can see about the Blacklight Group again. Only to find video of them all setting up numerous defensive spells all around their base.
Interesting, but that won’t matter.
I let out a yawn as I lean over the edge of the railing. Going ahead and turning back on the broadcast at the same time.
Because I’m about to begin my assault.
When I get there, that is.
