And just a few days later, I find myself interrupted by an unexpected visitor arriving while I’m in my lab. Just like Juan said.

When I walk out of my lab to go to the guest room where they’re currently at, I let Claire fill me in on what’s going on. Which pretty much comes down to ‘the big and intimidating Class S magician arrived saying he has something to give me’.

So not much to go off of other than that. But I can pretty much tell that they’re most likely from one of the Magic Towers on the other continents.

Places that Juan told me about.

The biggest powers on the other continents.

They don’t rule them by any means, but they do pretty much rule over the magicians in a lot of ways.

Unfortunately, Juan doesn’t know everything about the outside continents. Mostly because he’s been on the abandoned continents for too long at this point. So a lot of things have probably changed by now.

From what Juan has told me though, there are numerous nations all scattered throughout the many other continents. Without any major continent-wide wars being fought on any of the continents. And amongst those nations, three of them reign supreme in terms of power, along with the fact that they’re in an alliance with each other.

And that alliance is the only thing that is on par with the Magic Towers in terms of influence and power.

Except that the alliance is largely built around military power whereas the Magic Towers is built around Class S magicians.

One power centered around numbers, finances, and armies and military might. And one power centered around over two dozen Class S magicians all joined in one force.

Of course, each nation also has Class S magicians. With the nations themselves being classified in terms of power based on the number of Class S magicians they have under them.

But none of them get anywhere near close to the Magic Towers.

Even the Alliance only has a total of fifteen Class S magicians amongst their numbers. As opposed to the twenty-eight Class S magicians of the Magic Towers.

Although this is, once again, outdated intel. So there’s a high chance there may be more Class S magicians amongst their numbers now than before.

I continue walking through the caverns until I finally enter the guest room, where I find Amelia already calmly speaking with the Class S magician inside of the room.

My eyes narrow ever so slightly as I feel more than a little surprise at the sight of the man. One who has far more mana than any other Class S magician I’ve ever met.

So it’s really not just their number of Class S magicians that’s superior, but also their Class S magicians themselves.

Which makes me wonder if they have superior ways to handle mana training. Ones better than the ones we have on this abandoned continent.

Either way, the man turns to look at me the moment I step inside of the room. Locking his bright glowing purple eyes with my own glowing red ones. Showing me a new color of eyes I’ve never seen before.

I’ve seen dark purple before and a deep purple as well, but never a very light purple like this.

What’s his affinity?

It’s obvious that it’s some sort of special affinity. But what special affinity?

Both of us look over the other for several seconds. Just taking in each other’s appearances.

My armor at this point is largely leather and honestly can’t even be called armor anymore. It’s more like a jacket and pants now. I don’t even have my old hood anymore since it’s not necessary.

Although my outfit is still all black with some hints of red, just like it used to be.

As for the Class S magician? He is wearing purple, red, and blue armor that looks far more advanced than anything we have on our continent. He also has a couple high-tech looking terminals on his arms and an earpiece in one ear. Meanwhile his hair is an odd light purple color that matches his eyes.

Despite what Juan keeps saying about the other continents, I can’t help but feel a little wary about this man. Strictly because of how I’ve always been treated up till now by high Class magicians who want my immortality.

To my surprise though, the man just meets my eyes again and nods his head, saying, “Greetings, Undying Magician, from beyond the waters. My name is Arsen Trilock. The Tower Master of the Twentieth Tower, stationed on the Continent of Trelah.”

Huh. He’s polite.

I hesitate for a moment before nodding back and returning the greeting, “Well met, Tower Master. I am Nathan Fox.”

The man glances at Amelia before turning back to me again and walking over to me while handing me a letter and stating, “I have come here to officially hand you your invite to the Magic Towers. Should you accept, you may return with us to the First Tower, where the Tower Master Trials are taking place. You will then be allowed to participate regardless of your current Class, and should you pass, a new Tower will be established on the continent of either Aria or Giese depending on which continent you prefer. And you will officially become the Thirty-Sixth Tower Master.”

That’s… huh.

A lot to absorb right away.

They want me to be a Tower Master despite not being Class S? Also, Thirty Sixth? That means the Magic Towers have thirty-five Class S magicians right now?

That’s a hell of a lot.

My thoughts turn to the war that’s currently ongoing. A war that is quickly being dealt with thanks to our rather large advantage in Class S magician numbers over the Collective Kingdoms. Meaning the war won’t last very long.

And my participation at this point is pretty pointless.

Which is why Juan even said that it would be best if I listened to their request and genuinely consider going along with it if it appeals to me.

After several seconds of thought pass, I eventually state, “I’m open to the idea, but first I would like to know more about the other continents. If you wouldn’t mind.”

“Understandable,” Arsen says with a nod. “Then let’s begin with the continents and their political structures.”
