All Across the World of Aria
Year 2851 | Month 4 | Day 30

The moment word gets out about the immortal magician from the abandoned continents journeying to Ashgar, every single nation on every single continent in the world immediately begins planning. And not long after the departure of the Undying Magician from the abandoned continents, magicians from all over the world begin to head towards Ashgar.

Towards the First Magic Tower ruled over by the second strongest magician in the entire world.

Meanwhile the three member nations of the Ruling Alliance each come to their own decisions about the matter.

Voltath Chalron Maltar, the Emperor of the Empire of Maltar, the dominating nation of the continent of Ashgar, grins at the news. Immediately deciding to personally attend the Opening Ceremonies of the Tower Trials, even if in secret.

Because there’s no way he is going to let any of the other powers claim the Undying Magician under their banner.

And he’s not the only one thinking that as both Serena Vutrina, the current President of the Voltanian Republic, and Rose Meltina, the Chairwoman of the Melcians, make the exact same plans. All setting off to attend the Opening Ceremonies.

But they’re not the only ones as the vast majority of the nations in the world begin sending representatives over to the Opening Ceremonies the moment they hear that the immortal magician will be there. Even without hearing about the three Rulers heading there.

So within hours of the word getting out, travel all across the world becomes inflated due to the immense number of people heading towards Ashgar.

Or rather, towards the Mountains of Ash, where the First Magic Tower lies.

And it’s not just the magicians and national representatives as all the people of the continents grow curious as well. Leading to numerous news reporters from all over the world to rush straight towards the Tower Trials.

Trials that are usually kept out of the public eye but are being broadcast to the entire world for the first time thanks to the exception in this Trial.

The exception that is the Class A immortal magician participating amongst the many Class S magicians.

Even nations without any connection to the Magic Towers make sure to use every last favor they can to send someone to the Tower Trials.

Meanwhile the Tower Master of the First Magic Tower just looks out from the top of his Magic Tower at the massive flood of people entering the Ashen City of Magic located beneath the Tower. With millions of people down below moving around, each from different nations all over the world.

And to think this is all because of one person…

The Tower Master finds the corner of his lips quirking upwards a little as he wonders just how the Undying Magician will react when he arrives to see all this.

Fortunately for him, most of the attendees don’t know his exact appearance. So as long as he covers his eyes, no one will recognize him upon arrival.

But that’ll only work until the Opening Ceremonies officially begin.

The Tower Master feels incredibly grateful for the mere fact that he decided to show up. Both due to the immense influence gaining an ally in the Undying Magician could bring him, and because of the influx of people rushing to the Ashen City of Magic right now.

And more importantly, due to the reporters from all around the world.

An unexpected side effect of some nations leaking news about the immortal magician to the public.

At this rate even if he didn’t leave the abandoned continents, people would still flock there to see him.

The First Tower Master continues looking out over the city for several minutes before eventually turning around and walking towards the throne at the Tower’s peak. Where he sits down and begins to brainstorm ideas for the trials.

Because some of the previous years’ trials won’t work for this one. Like the trial that merely tests the number of mana arcs a magician has alongside their age.

Since the Undying Magician is not a Class S magician, he will automatically do incredibly poorly on that trial.

Several minutes pass as he tries to brainstorm ideas before he eventually settles on a good replacement for the trial.

One that should work for the Undying Magician.

And it might create some more waves across the world in his favor as well.

“Let’s see what you’re made of, Undying Magician,” the First Tower Master whispers to himself. “It’s time to show the world.”
