Just a couple days later, after meeting with the delegate from the Magic Towers, I find myself on a ship heading straight towards the other continents. With dozens of magicians and soldiers moving around the enormous ship as it sails itself through magic.

The ship is very advanced compared to ships we have on Ariel. To the point that it has magic cannons that shoot out beams of pure mana.

Beams that can only be blocked by magic barriers. Powerful ones at that.

As for the soldiers? I can’t help but notice that their soldiers are all wearing magical armor. Energy shields that cover their entire person and no doubt absorb damage from any sort of attack sent their way.

But what’s most startling about them is their gear.

Gear made from materials that I’ve since learned are even tougher than Arcadian Metal.

Even I can’t tear through their armor with ease like I could the armor from the backwater continents I now find myself to be from. Although if I enhance myself with death or fire mana I can. But without it all I can do is break through their barrier with a punch and barely make a dent in their armor.

That’s only if they have their barrier up though. If they don’t have their barrier up then I can cause a much larger dent in their armor.

It’s rather disturbing. And that’s not even considering that their magicians on average have higher mana levels than those from the abandoned continents.

Including the Class S magicians.

Juan personally acknowledged that Arsen has over ten thousand arcs of mana. Which is over three times the amount required to be considered a Class S magician.

In comparison, the Chairman had barely 3100 arcs of mana according to the Class S magician who helped me in our assault on his base.

I also eventually figured out what affinity he has. And it’s frightening.

He didn’t even bother hiding it and straight up told me when asked.

Arsen’s special affinity is for reversal magic. A type of magic that can reverse things, as should be obvious by the name.

The man even went as far as showing me some of his magic by reversing a spell right in front of me. And then by reversing the blood inside of an animal’s body.

It’s pretty terrifying. Or it would be for a normal person.

I don’t really care personally though. Because even being thrown into the anti-magic mana realm didn’t affect my immortality at all. So his reversal magic won’t be able to do anything to me.

What’s more interesting to me personally is how open he is being. About his soldiers, about the Magic Towers, the technology, and even his own magic.

He answers every question I ask and even some I don’t ask.

Then there’s his soldiers and magicians on this ship. Ones who apparently belong to the Magic Towers. His tower to be specific.

All of his soldiers and magicians are treating me like I’m some sort of VIP they have to treat incredibly well. And it’s kind of unnerving in a way.

It’s starting to be a bit easier to believe Juan when he says the other continents aren’t like the abandoned continents. That there are good people even amongst magicians there.

But it’s still a little too early to believe that.

For all I know they could be trying to trick me into complacency. Or they could just have given up on the idea of capturing and experimenting on me, believing that there’s no way to replicate what happened to me for themselves. Just like the people on the abandoned continents have started figuring out by now.

So I keep an eye on everything as the ship continues to sail across the waters. While, of course, still practicing my mana manipulation. Because I need to reach Class S as fast as I can.

And I make sure to continue training my mana arcs while doing that, using a special device the Class S magician from across the waters gave me to do that. One even better than the one I was using before.

After making sure it’s strictly for training, that is.

And just like that, time gradually passes on the ship until a port is finally in sight. One connected to a massive city with skyscrapers everywhere.

I feel more than a little surprised by the sight of the buildings that are far taller than anything we have on the abandoned continents. Not to mention the other ships docked at the port. Even if said ships are a lot smaller than the one we’re on.

“Are you ready?” I hear Arsen’s voice from behind me, making me glance back to see the man walking up to the front of the ship where I’m currently standing.

I turn back to the city as I answer, “Yeah.”

“We’ll be docking in ten,” Arsen continues after hearing my answer. “Feel free to explore the city as you wish after landing, but please wear something to cover your eyes and face.”

That confuses me, making me turn to look at him.

“Why would I need to cover my face?” I ask out of curiosity. Vampires weren’t necessarily discriminated against or anything back on the abandoned continents, and even if they were, there’s no real way to confirm it unless my bloodlust acts up and makes the black veins appear.

After all, red eyes can mean magical affinity as well. Not just vampirism.

“That…” Arsen begins, looking a little awkward now. “You’ll soon find out when we land. Just please cover your face.”

I blink at him before watching him step away. And after a few seconds, I just shrug and grab a cloak from my storage device.

No idea what he’s going on about, but it doesn’t hurt to listen to him. Especially since I have some cloaks in my storage.

And if he’s right, I’ll find out really soon what he means.
