Chapter 21

The storm that had brewed beyond the horizon settled, and as Tatsuya watched the wave die down and pull away, he kneeled down upon the hill they'd come to. In front of him was Sakurai, who was lying there, limp. His face, with his helmet removed, was covered in unadulterated sadness. "…It's okay, Tatsuya. This is only my life span."

Tortured by the powerlessness of a life he couldn't save rapidly extinguishing its light before him, Tatsuya agonized, despite supposedly having lost his emotions. Sakurai gave him an unenergetic but pure smile. "It isn't your fault. We never knew when my engineered body would reach its limit."

Tatsuya wanted to tell her that she was wrong. Compared to normal people, an engineered magician's life span was unstable, but she was clearly enfeebled by the burden of using so many big spells in a short period of time. The burden of completely preventing a full artillery volley from a fleet of ships was too great even for the Sakura series. But Sakurai didn't want him to say that. So he gritted his teeth.

But Sakurai seemed to know exactly what Tatsuya was thinking and said"It really isn't your fault. My role since birth was to be a shield, and today, I've carried out my duty to the end."

But then a white armored figure came and landed from the sky, Kazama quickly spoke"Tatsuya, he is one of us and he is here to heal her."

Tatsuya was wary,since the magic emanating from the figure was unreadable.But he still nodded and let the figure heal Sakurai.

Ayato came next to Sakurai and healed her,who was shocked.Since she could feel her health was back to normal.

While Tatsuya used his elemental eyes.But he still couldn't find anything about the magic used.

The white armored individual then flew away, Tatsuya breaking away from his shocked state turned to the Kazama and asked"Who is that, sir?"

Kazama with a stoic face replied"It is classified."

Tatsuya decided to not push it, but he was curious about why his Elemental sight couldn't understand the analyzing activation sequence of the specific magic the armored figure used.

It was the first time Tatsuya encountered such a problem.But he waved it off, since everyone was safe.

So after the war led to many were interested in

Individuals like Crimson Prince,Sword Emperor, Asura, Azarel and Mahesvara.But no one could find much about these these individuals.

USNA was only able to uncover the information about Ichijou Masaki being the Crimson Prince. But the rest were a complete mystery.

Similarly The Yotsuba clan would search sky high for this person Azrael and found nothing.

They tried to contact the Senate on this, but was told about the individual being on of their side and protection.

Maya Yotsuba was now even thinking about using the Hliðskjálf,which is a backdoor entrance of the system called Echelon III, an information interception network developed by the USNA — that can gather information from all over the world. There are only seven people who can access Hliðskjálf, referred to as the Seven Sages.

Also using it may cause other Seven sages to know what she is trying to do.

Maya like the rest of the Yotsuba family wanted to create an owner of absolute power.They wanted to create such a transcendental person as a magician of the Yotsuba in the future, the strongest magician who would have the power to destroy the world. The whole family was obsessed with such a superhuman desire.

So when this mysterious individual popped up in the radar, they wanted to know more about him and wanted to invite him to the Clan via marriage this bringing in a new bloodline of power and a new powerful magician.

While Ayato war now planing to enter First High School with Mayumi, Kirihara, Midori, Kei, Kanon,Suzune and Eimi.

All of them were going to the same National Magic University Affiliated High School located in Hachiōji,Tokyo in Kantō.

It is an upper-level, magic institution known to send over a hundred graduates who either enter the University of Magic or enroll in a Magic Technical Institute of Specialized Higher Training every year and an elite school that churns out the largest number of excellent Magicians and  Magic Technicians.
