My Lucky Encounter From The Game Turned Into Reality - M.L.E Chapter 52: Real-World (Part1)

In the world of magic, they say that reaching the ‘5th Circle’ through effort is the limit of what is achievable.

As for the ‘6th Circle’, it’s the realm of talent, and the ‘7th Circle’ is the domain of only a few geniuses.

As a result, those who achieve the 7th Circle are honored with the title of Archmage (Grand Wizard), carrying the meaning of a pioneer.

This signifies just how exceptional an Archmage of the 7th Circle is.

Ten 5th Circle mages can defeat one 6th Circle mage, but…

A gathering of 100 6th Circle mages can’t handle a single 7th Circle mage.

The gap between the previous ranks and the 7th Circle is the most significant in the world of magic.

There’s the ‘Memorize Magic,’ which allows you to cast ten spells in advance, and use them right away like a shortcut.

The ‘Recovery Magic’ can heal almost all injuries, illnesses, and poisons.

The ‘Teleport Magic,’ can instantly transport you to the opposite side of the world.

And the ‘Subspace Magic’ that creates your own independent dimension, and so on.

Becoming a 7th Circle mage means transcending one’s previous limits and becoming a new existence.

In the past, 7th Circle Archmages were referred to as the ultimate trump card that could overturn the situation at any time, the ‘One-Man Army.’

The Archmage who could annihilate enemy forces with wide-area magic while moving through space were objects of fear, and they had reigned as rulers for many years through sheer force.

“Well, that’s a thing of the past…”

However, as time passed and technology advanced, mass production of artifacts became possible. In an era where equipment performance was prioritized over individual abilities, the tide shifted.

Interference magic against teleportation became a basic option on the battlefield, and today’s battlefields are filled with Rangers firing long-range attacks without casting spells.

Moreover, unlike Aura Masters who can be armed with Vanguard equipment, the combat power of Archmages remained relatively unchanged, so it was natural for their position on the battlefield to diminish.

As a result, modern mages were seen more as technicians than combatants, unlike knights.

Unlike knights, they didn’t have to risk their lives on the battlefield, and they could earn a lot of money by sitting in their research labs, so the environment became more stable…

But who among the mages would want to be stuck in a research lab for their entire life?

“Despite the limitations, the combat abilities of Archmages are still widely recognized in modern times.”

Most of their lives have been dedicated to learning magic, primarily for combat purposes.

However, due to the course of the era, even if they are fully capable of fighting, they are excluded under the pretext of protection.

-Boom! Boom!

In that sense, Adrian’s combat display was completely shattering the norms of mages.

An Archmage engaging in combat on the front lines against dozens of Vanguard units. Considering the importance of Archmages in this Age, it was a risky move without a clear plan.

“That’s dangerous!”

“Whoa!”

“Huh…”

However, strangely, such a reckless action made those watching clench their fists in tension.

It may be because Olivia Riverdale, the Duchess, and Elfrid, the Earl, were Archmages themselves, just like Adrian.

“Fighting with such determination.”

“Oh?”

Before they knew it, the two of them had forgotten their manners and were cheering for Adrian, who was overwhelming the Vanguard units as a fellow Archmage.

When had they ever seen a mage fight so passionately?

They expected Adrian to take part in the battle, but they had thought he would play a supporting role, so this was a big surprise. It was also refreshing to see him break the fixed perspective of mages.

It was as if a Grand Mage fighting with determination was advertising, “This is what I can do.”

“Impressive.”

“I can only express admiration.”

And finally, in the scene where Adrian received the surrender of his enemy, the two of them exclaimed in awe and applauded.

The biggest reason for the limited role of mages on the modern battlefield is not their compatibility with Vanguard, but rather the blockage of what can be called an escape mechanism: teleportation.

The mage’s greatest weakness is casting spells, but not all magic requires casting.

If you’re a 7th Circle mage, casting a 6th Circle magic is reduced by half, and spells of 5th Circle and below can be cast instantly without casting.

As a result, Archmages can frequently use the Blink spell (short-range teleportation), which can be considered the best evasion technique for them, but interference magic for teleportation made this impossible.

However, it seemed that Adrian’s combat style was arguing that mages could simply dodge if they couldn’t use teleportation.

“Can Earl Elfrid be capable of performing such a battle?”

“Even with supplementary magic, it doesn’t seem easy. It requires abundant practical experience, a well-trained body, and combat reflexes.”

“That’s right.”

One downside to this was that Adrian’s battle showed a new direction for mages, but it was difficult to emulate. Moreover, he had the best partner, an Aura Master, with him.

“But…”

“Hmm…”

Nevertheless, the two of them fell into thought with their chins resting on their hands.

Adrian’s fighting style couldn’t be copied exactly, but it seemed there was plenty of potential if some changes were made.

They had initially watched over this territorial war with interest because of Adrian, but as a result, their preconceptions were shattered, and they gained unexpected insights.

“But it seems like Marquis Adrian is really of the Riverdale school.”

In response to Earl Elfrid’s words, Olivia, who had been lost in thought, raised her head with a narrowed brow.

“What do you mean?”

“I meant exactly what I said… My apologies if I overstepped.”

Olivia Riverdale, the Duchess, appeared outwardly displeased, but inwardly, she felt relieved.

Adrian had approached them with various pieces of evidence, but she hadn’t completely trusted him.

However, during this battle, she saw several characteristics typical of the Riverdale School in Adrian.

Thanks to that, she could dispel her suspicions.

“He’s a person I have a favorable impression of in many ways.”

“Your excessive interest in our disciple is unacceptable.”

However, the two of them were unaware of something.

They thought they had hidden themselves quite well, but in reality, they had long been detected by the soaring black eagle in the sky.

“Are you planning on staying?”

“No, we shouldn’t. I think we’ve seen everything we need to. The outcome of the territorial is too obvious. We should return.”

The two of them had maintained a mental standoff, keeping each other in check until the end, but they didn’t appear to be in bad spirits.

* * *

Using the supplemental functions attached to the Enhanced Vision and Shared Sight, I watched as the two women concealed themselves, feeling relieved inside.

They were the individuals I needed to be most cautious about right now.

One of them was undoubtedly the Chief Information Officer of the Bringum Empire, who would undoubtedly turn hostile the moment she discovered that I possessed the Lucky Encounter. The other was the head of the Riverdale family, who guaranteed my identity as a mage.

“I never expect so much attention in this territory war.”

Fortunately, it seemed that they were favorably disposed toward me, judging from their emotional responses.

“I’ve gained unexpected revenue.”

I had already figured out the characteristics of the Riverdale family that were revealed when casting magic.

I had requested Chester, the Administrator of the Hollywood System, to make me an apprentice of the incumbent Riverdale Duke using one of my five tickets. Chester not only forged data but also passed on the magical characteristics of the Riverdale School. It was a necessary measure because there might be a test to use Riverdale-style magic to gain recognition as a member of the same school when meeting Duchess Olivia Riverdale.

“This should help dispel any unnecessary suspicions about me.”

Now that I had firmly established myself as a member of the Riverdale School, no one would associate me with Archduke Lucas’ fate.

Feeling pleased with the outcome, I strolled through the castle of the Viscounty of Parma with light steps.
