As it turns out, the other continents are a lot… more… than I expected.

For one, there are eight major continents total, including the abandoned continent Ariel. Which I already knew. But what I didn’t know was that there are dozens of minor continents as well. Continents the size of the small Kingdom of the Fallen. Otherwise known as the Giese continent.

On top of that, of the seven other major continents, each one has at least a few major nations, with many smaller nations as well.

As for the alliance? That is made up of three major nations. Each from their own continent of which they dominate the vast majority of in every single way. From military force to political power to size.

And the alliance itself is called the Ruling Alliance.

An alliance with seventeen total Class S magicians in it. Which is more than the total number of Class S magicians in all of the abandoned continents.

As for the treatment of smaller nations by the Magic Towers and the Ruling Alliance?

The Magic Towers try to stay neutral and focus more on an economic domination of the world, which also gives them immense political power as well on top of their thirty-five Class S magicians. So they mostly just set up a Magic Tower in any important nation whenever they get a new Class S magician. Then they go and set up smaller branch towers in the other smaller nations along with other cities in the larger ones.

Just to spread out their power and influence.

And more importantly, to spread their business, as the Magic Towers have an auction in them held regularly.

The Ruling Alliance, on the other hand, is neutral towards the Magic Towers due to the influence they hold while also trying to keep the peace between the other nations. Even if some of that peace keeping is more just to keep their own image upright in the eyes of the people.

And to keep their own sovereignty set in stone.

After all, if the other nations go to war and end up conquering each other and growing larger, they could pose a threat to the current balanced state of the world.

More importantly, nations are judged based on four scales in the world.

Size. Meaning how large the nation is and how many citizens it has.

Military force. Meaning how many soldiers the nation has.

Magicians. Meaning how many high Class, and more importantly, Class S magicians the nations have. Since Class S magicians are pretty much treated as strategic class weapons. People who can turn the tide of an entire war.

And last but not least, if they have Magic Towers set up or not.

Apparently a nation with a Magic Tower is looked upon a lot more favorably than one who doesn’t. Specifically due to the incredible benefits it grants the nation’s economy.

And it’s that exact reason…

“We should accept,” Amelia says as I stand at the front of the table in front of all my top officers. “There’s no doubt about it.”

Everyone else in the room nods their heads in agreement. Even I find myself doing it as well.

The benefits are too great to overlook. Even if it requires me to leave the abandoned continents for a time.

“The only issue is the doctor,” the head of logistics, Ryan Haris, says with a frown on his face. “If he appears when His Majesty is gone…”

“Wouldn’t it be better for His Majesty to leave now?” Claire asks, bringing everyone’s gaze towards her and prompting her to continue. “If His Majesty leaves the continent, it’ll be more difficult for the doctor to find him. And His Majesty may very well return as a Class S magician himself.”

Everyone goes quiet at that while looking either at me or at the table.

And honestly, I can’t help but agree with Claire with this. Because there is a chance I could reach Class S by the time I return.

Or at least I might be able to figure out mana manipulation by then. Since the other continents are a lot more advanced when it comes to magic than ours.

“In that case, I will be leaving Amelia and Claire in charge while I’m away,” I eventually come to a decision. One that the others all seem to agree to as they stand up and bow to me. “Make sure to be on your guard while I’m away.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I feel a faint smile spreading across my face at that honorific. One that technically doesn’t apply but is still being used by everyone anyways.

Now I just have to go meet with that delegate once more as I have him resting in a guest room right now. And I need to discuss my lessons with the skeleton and Juan.

Although there is one potential problem that could appear.

That being the question of what if the doctor decides to follow me off of the continent. But that would be incredibly difficult. Even for him.

Because he doesn’t know where the other continents even are. Unless he’s just planning on teleporting all across the ocean.

And by the time we set off, he should still be recovering from his injuries.

It shouldn’t be an issue.

But for some reason I can’t help but feel a little anxious about it.

Regardless of that, I don’t have many things to worry about now. Not when I can’t be killed, and I already know the doctor wouldn’t bother touching my family.

Now I just have to worry about this trial set for prospective Tower Masters.

A trial meant for Class S magicians.

My eyes narrow at that before I leave the room and begin heading towards the guest room to speak with the Class S magician there. Mostly to tell him about the decision we’ve reached, but also to ask a few more questions about the other continents.

Specifically about the one the trial will be taking place at.

The Continent of Ashgar.
