In the Main Hangar of the First Tower of Magic
Year 2851 | Month 5 | Day 1

Whispered chatter fills the hangar as hundreds of reporters cover the edges of the hangar. All of whom are here awaiting the arrival of the Undying Magician. The only true immortal in existence.

“Do you think anyone will be able to get an interview with him?” Rachel hears a nearby reporter ask near him. Only for another one to answer, “Maybe? But not one of us. We’re too far away…”

“Then why are you here?” the first reporter asks.

“Do you avoid the lottery just because the chance is almost nonexistent to win?” the other reporter asks in return.

Rachel frowns a little at that but focuses on the large ship as it approaches the hangar. Immediately silencing the majority of the reporters in the hangar behind the railing in the section designated for them.

But it’s not just reporters Rachel sees behind the railing. She also notices numerous Class S magicians amongst the reporters. And for the first time, all of the reporters ignore the Class S magicians beyond giving them some space as they focus solely on the ship.

They’d normally be swarming all over them just for a chance at an interview, and now they’re ignoring them… talk about honest.

Although she’s not one to talk either since she’s also here for the chance to interview the Undying Magician.

She would be more surprised if there were reporters in the world who wouldn’t jump at the chance to interview him. After all, he’s the only magician in the world who can’t die. Who will be a part of their world forever. Long after they’re all dead.

And the chance to be the first to interview him is impossible for any reporter worth their salt to pass up.

Especially since he will no doubt eventually become the most powerful magician in the world over time. Simply because he will live forever. Even if he’s only a Class A magician for now.

Rachel glances at the numerous Class S magicians with a small amount of awe mixed in with her usual indifference.

Ever since she’s become a reporter, she’s never even seen a Class S magician in person. But just in one day she’s seen almost all of them in person at once. All for the same reason.

She isn’t particularly interested in them though. Because she doesn’t have much interest in progressing her career much.

The only reason she is here for the slightest chance to interview the Undying Magician is because she’s genuinely curious about the man who will become so incredibly important to the world over the next years. So she genuinely wants to ask him various questions about his intentions and past.

But with this many people here she doubts she’ll get the chance.

And as that thought runs through her mind, the ship quietly lands in the center of the hangar before opening up and revealing the Twentieth Tower Master walking down the ramp alongside a man. With a couple dozen guards walking down the ramp alongside them to the ground.

Rachel focuses her gaze on the Undying Magician herself as numerous cameras all flash across the hangar, making the man narrow his crimson eyes slightly. Clearly bothered by the camera flashes.

Of course, there are also several cameras that are using a non-flash higher tech magical camera. But those are very expensive, so a lot of reporters don’t bother with them.

Rachel is one of the few that does though, so all the pictures she takes don’t use the flash.

She doesn’t want to bother those she’s interviewing more than she has to after all.

Being a reporter is just a way to live for her. And she doesn’t want to cause other people trouble through that.

It’s why she always avoids writing the exaggerated articles her company is known for. And the reason her boss likes her since her articles help lessen the impact of their other scathing articles by balancing out their articles.

Part of Rachel wonders if any of these reporters would ever dare write an exaggerated scathing article about the Undying Magician though. Since he will be around forever and will absolutely grow in power over the centuries.

Getting on his bad side might lead to the downfall of any company after all.

The man eventually reaches the ground and begins walking through the hangar in the direction of the exit. All while being photographed by all the reporters.

Rachel takes a moment to examine the man when he gets close to her in passing.

The Undying Magician has brown hair to go along with his glowing crimson eyes. He has pale skin and is wearing completely black armor that seems to be styled more for aesthetics than actual defense. On top of that, he has two swords sheathed at his waist.

To Rachel’s surprise though, the man seems to look at each and every reporter in the room who isn’t using the camera flash. Almost like he’s memorizing each one for some reason.

Including Rachel, which makes a faint chill run down her spine when his crimson eyes meet hers.

Then a wall of black flames appears around him blocking the sight of him from any of the reporters. Implying that he’s gotten sick of them.

Rachel decides to back out of the reporter section and leave the hangar now since she’s already gotten plenty of pictures. But not before she sees the Undying Magician making eye contact with her again and nodding his head.

Huh. Maybe all my attempts to not bother others is being rewarded…

She smiles faintly at that thought before continuing on her way out of the hangar. Then she continues to her hover car, enters it, and begins driving home.

Even if she didn’t get an interview with him, she feels like she may get one soon.

And if she doesn’t?

Well, she’s at least gotten some shots of him that she can turn into her company.
