The Outer City of Balhae II

Magic is rarely seen in the Human Continent. 

It is not like there is no Mage but it is very rare.

  It was so rare that even Arial had only met a human mage only once and that is when he was doing a quest for the Knight Academy.

And Mages is rarely employed in the household of nobles. Some nobles fear that Mages had spell that could muddle their mind and control them. 

And Arial knew that some mages does have that kind of spell. But only powerful Mages could do such a thing. 

Like an Archmage. 

And in the world, Archmage could be counted in one hand and rarely such Archmage would try to do such a thing for the consequences of being caught would be the annihilation of the Archmage family, apprentices and the magic community there

Nobles have been in existence since even before the Sky People came. And while many of them have been destroyed by the times, there are still ancient noble houses that survives until today
