Nathan
Year 2851 | Month 5 | Day 4
“Welcome to the First Mage Tower, Nathan Fox!” the Tower Master of the First Mage Tower declares with a grin on his face. “I sincerely hope to be able to count you amongst the Tower Masters soon!”
The man himself is wearing a very fancy black and crimson robe that matches his long crimson hair held back in a ponytail in color. He also has glowing crimson eyes that kind of remind me of my own yet are still quite different. Since my eyes are a bit more sinister than his.
And the power I feel radiating out of him is pretty much the same as before. Albeit held back a bit.
“Thank you,” I state with a nod amidst the gazes of the dozens upon dozens of important people watching us. Then I turn my attention to the next of the four people in front of me that begins to speak.
“Hello, Undying Magician, my name is Rose Meltina,” the Chairwoman of the Melcians states with a smile on her face as she reaches her hand out to me. Which I accept before doing a quick shake and letting go. “I am the Chairwoman of the Melcians, and I wish to welcome you to our nation as a personal guest of mine whenever you may wish to visit!”
The woman in question has white hair with black streaks and glowing white irises, and she’s wearing a black and white dress. With the primary color being white with streaks and outlines of black on it as the dress itself is pretty conservative with long sleeves and a skirt going down to the floor.
Her hair is also going straight down in waves.
From what I remember, she has creation magic. Which is used more often for crafting than combat, but it can be used in combat as well.
It pretty much just lets her make physical things with her mana and control them until they leave her range of control. At which point they are no longer under her control.
She’s one of the Class A leaders.
Something about her feels off though. Almost like she’s desperate. Or nearly desperate.
And that makes me wonder what sort of situation she could be in.
“Hello,” I answer her with a nod of my head without giving her any confirmations on her hidden request.
After her, the next one to step up is the Emperor of the Empire of Maltar.
“Greetings, Undying Magician, it is a pleasure to meet you,” the emperor states with a polite nod of his head. “My name is Voltath Chalron Maltar, and I am the Emperor of the Empire of Maltar.”
“Likewise,” I state with another nod of my head.
The emperor is wearing a gray suit with hints of armor on beneath it, and he has black hair that has random glowing colors moving through it along with rainbow eyes. Both of which show off his special spirit magic. Which, from what I’ve heard, is pretty much just him creating spirits out of mana that obey him.
Spirit magic is one of the few affinities that actually let a user use multiple different types of magic of different affinities.
That said, it isn’t exactly him who’s using it. It’s the spirit he makes.
He just orders the spirit to use the magic.
So at the end of the day, he can’t do any incredibly complicated spells with spirit magic. And he can’t do any internal magic either.
It makes him both powerful and limited.
And last but not least, the final ruler approaches me to speak. With this one having the most power in her nation out of the three rulers.
For obvious reasons at that.
“Hello Nathan Fox, my name is Serena Vutrina,” the President of the Voltanian Republic asks with a straight face as she tilts her head slightly at me. “How has your trip been so far?”
I blink at her question before feeling the corner of my lips quirking upwards ever so slightly.
She’s the only one who used my actual name.
That’s a point to her.
She also asked about me instead of just stating a greeting or trying to bring me over to her side like the other two.
The woman herself has pitch black hair and glowing pitch black eyes without any whites in them. Meanwhile she’s wearing a black dress that exposes her shoulders and goes down to her calves, and her hair is in a braid going over her shoulder.
Everything she’s wearing is black, just like her hair and eyes.
And just like her magical affinity.
Void magic.
A magic that is pretty much just a vacuum. It sucks in every other mana affinity with the force of a vacuum, pretty much acting as a black hole.
Actually, a lot of people speculate that black holes are just natural gatherings of void mana.
On top of her void mana, she is also the only Class S magician amongst these three rulers of the Alliance.
And she is the only one with near absolute power in her nation. Since the other two are struggling to hold their power. Albeit with the Chairwoman having a much harder time in her struggle than the emperor.
The emperor at least has the power leaning towards him, unlike the Chairwoman who has the power leaning away from her towards the council members.
“It’s been interesting so far,” I answer the president’s question with the faintest hint of a smile on my face. To which she nods back with her own lips twitching upwards.
It looks like I’ve found a potential ally amongst them. But it may be too early to tell.
I hear murmurs going all through the room from the bystanders watching us. Only for two of the three rulers of the Alliance to begin speaking with me again.
Specifically the two who aren’t the president as she just stands to the side sipping a drink.
Which isn’t very different from me if I’m being honest as I mostly sit here having wine that a servant here handed me listening to the two rulers talking.
At the end of the day though, I’m just satisfied that none of these rulers are antagonistic so far.
