Chapter 2: The Final Qualifying Round

Luke Waldstein was in a quiet hallway near the training ground for the Royal Court Magicians’ Division. He had just finished bringing Noelle to the doctor’s office.

Somebody else was there too. The man’s magical power burned so intensely that Luke knew who it was before he heard anything.

“Don’t be angry,” Hellfire Magician Gawain Stark said. “We did what we had to do.”

“I understand. If you two hadn’t stepped in, I would’ve stopped it myself.”

“Strangely enough, I noticed that there were lightning attacks targeting us.”

“That must have been an instinctive response.”

“You really prioritize her above all else, don’t you?”

Luke avoided Gawain’s eyes. “What’s wrong with that?”

“You’re a strange one, Luke.”

“What do you mean?”

“Anybody who knew you only when you first joined the division must still be reeling from shock. Some people are still traumatized by how cold you were in your first year here.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. I was too preoccupied at that time.”

He’d realized what mattered to him only once he’d lost it. After he and Noelle had embarked on different paths in life, he’d understood that what he wanted was to be together again. With that in mind, he’d concentrated his efforts on career success at the expense of all else in order to be allowed a mentee.

“I admire your determination,” Gawain said. “Nobody has put in as much intense effort as you. You’ve reached this point incredibly quickly. I doubt anybody would dream that it was all for the sake of a commoner you had a crush on at school.”

“I keep telling you not to put it like that.”

“Even in the Royal Court Magicians’ Division, there’s hardly anyone stronger than you. I think you’ve reached a level where you could put up a good fight against a magus, for that matter.” Gawain paused. “Of course, that’s if you’re at your peak.”

Luke heaved a sigh. “So you know the truth.”

“I only need to look at you to notice.”

“I’m asking you not to stop me. I must go to the WMC.”

“I understand. It’s your life. As long as you’re prepared to take responsibility for your decisions, you’re free to do whatever you want,” Gawain went on calmly. “But at the World Magic Championships, you’ll have to fight one duel after another. The longer you keep fighting, the more your condition will suffer. It’s after all that when you’ll have to fight the most powerful magician in the western continent.”

Gawain didn’t even need to mention that person by name. Luke knew of Evangeline Runeforest, the Fairy Queen. She was one of the Three Mystic Rulers: the leaders of each of the non-human magical beings that stood at the apex of magic in the western continent. Along with the Dragon Emperor and the Lord of the Night—the leader of the dragons and vampires, respectively—her power was far beyond that of humans. However, unlike those two, who rarely showed their faces in the human world, the Fairy Queen was relatively familiar to humans.

One of the opportunities for people to see her was at the World Magic Championships.
