Numerous places across other Continents
Year 2851 | Month 2 | Day 31

On one continent after another, numerous Class S magicians who were watching the battle over the laboratory begin to discuss amongst themselves how to deal with the war getting closer and closer to an end. And more importantly, how to deal with the immortal magician on the abandoned continent.

Of the other continents, almost every last one of them shares some similarities. Specifically being the Magician’s Tower, the method in which each nation on the continents decides which nation is the most powerful, and the relative peace on the continents.

But things become a lot more complicated on the continents when Class S magicians and potential Class S magician seeds – those magicians who have clear potential to reach Class S someday – come into play. Because Class S magicians are considered the main way for a nation to determine its power compared to the other nations.

It all comes down to how many Class S magicians each nation has.

And thanks to that, every last nation and organization on the other continents outside of the abandoned continents immediately turns their attention to the Undying Magician. Even the most powerful organization of the continents – the Magician’s Tower – shows their express interest at the idea of a potential Class S seed that will never die.

Because if they can get the Undying Magician to join their ranks or at least become an ally to them, they will have a permanent Class S magician on their side. One who will be around for eternity.

So all of the Class S magicians on the other continents immediately begin to send more spies to keep an eye on the abandoned continent. All just to watch over the Undying Magician himself.

But not a single one makes contact with him. Instead they keep watch to make sure other forces don’t make contact with him first.

As they all wait for the war between the abandoned continent’s nations to come to a close first.

At the Peak of the First Magician’s Tower
Year 2851 | Month 2 | Day 31

“Well this is just getting more and more unusual, now isn’t it?” The Tower Master of the First Tower declares with his cheek resting on his knuckles and his elbow on the throne atop the raised dais of the tower’s peak. Meanwhile over two dozen other Class S magicians just like himself stand around the tower looking at a large screen showing the Undying Magician.

“Things are heating up around the different continents,” the Tower Master of the Second Tower says while looking down at a tablet in front of him. “All of the different nations watching the events of the Abandoned Continent are currently trying to covertly find a way to recruit the Undying Magician without the other nations finding out. But none of them are sure how to proceed.”

“Right,” the Fourth Tower Master mutters with a frown on her face and her arms crossed. “The Abandoned Continent was abandoned for a reason, so the people there aren’t treated very well. I’m sure he won’t trust anyone coming to him with offers of an alliance or just treatment within their ranks.”

“That’s what everyone else is worried about,” the Third Tower Master says while the woman paces back and forth. “Everyone believes the immortal will simply assume we’re trying to capture and experiment on him somehow. That no one would genuinely treat him well.”

“Then we just have to take things slowly and show him our sincerity,” the Seventh Tower Master states with his hands held behind his straightened back as he stares at the screen in front of him. “Wear down at that wall he’s built up in his mind and give him benefits without seeking anything.”

“Other nations are thinking the same thing right now, so how are we going to stand out amongst them?” the Sixth Tower Master asks as she frowns at the others.

“Glandella is right,” the Tenth Tower Master states while frowning at the Seventh Tower Master. “The moment this war ends, every nation will be rushing over to meet with and make friendly with the Undying Magician all in an attempt to draw him over to their own side. So how are we going to pull him to us rather than allow him to be pulled to them?”

The Eleventh Tower Master scoffs and mutters, “That’s assuming he even decides to work with anyone.”

All of the Tower Masters nod their heads in agreement at that and go quiet for a short while.

“We can’t offer him a place as a Tower Master until he is officially a Class S magician, and I’m not even sure if he would understand what the meaning of that position would be,” the First Tower Master states with a single finger held up. Then he raises a second finger and adds, “We can’t be sure he will trust that we aren’t just going to turn around and experiment on him at any moment.” He raises a third finger. “And to him, we will just be one of dozens of different powers all flocking to him the moment he’s just finished a long conflict.” The First Tower Master lets out a sigh. “At this rate no one will be able to get close to him anytime soon.”

“I feel like some nations may wait until he reaches Class S to show that they’re different from the others,” the Fifteenth Tower Master says, “so why don’t we wait a little bit before contacting him?”

“Rather than that, we should be the first to contact him,” the Eighteenth Tower Master says, shooting down the Fifteenth Tower Master’s suggestion. “That way we can leave an impression on him.”

“We can discuss this more over the next few months, but for now there’s something more pressing to deal with at hand,” the First Tower Master declares while raising his hand, deciding to cut off the discussion for now. “There have been signs of disturbances from Chrono Island.”

Silence fills the tower for several seconds at his declaration.

Then every gaze turns towards the screen showing the Undying Magician.

As they all realize instantly why the only time magician in the world would show signs of awakening.
