Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 116

The mission still needs to be completed, so let's retreat first. After Bai Ji arrives, she will go berserk and kill everyone. Then we can finish her off!

Ideally, Bai Ji could cripple or even kill both the Fifth and Third Magicians!

Then they can make a move on Aozaki Touko too!

If only Kuonji Yuzu is left, then even if she has any evidence, there are ways to deal with it. She can also hand it over to Barthezmero to handle, so it won't be a big problem.

If it doesn't work...

Then we can only wait until this mission is over before considering the issue of these two mages!

So even though we're unwilling now, we have no choice but to retreat for the sake of the mission!

He issued the order with this in mind.

Although these members of the Mage's Association were at a disadvantage after launching the attack, this was all due to the Imaginary Number Magic and Roland's Shadow Kingdom. Now, if they wanted to escape, it would be very easy for them to leave once they were outside the Shadow Kingdom's territory.

Roland could have captured all the escapees by using Shadow Binding, but he didn't.

Because it is the other party who needs to be completely eliminated, not him.

So there is no need.

and...

Getting rid of these guys is just the first act on this stage.

He has a second scene to film afterwards.

For the magicians around him, repelling the Mage Association's punitive force was enough to win them over and establish his authority. However, for the magic families who had been taken advantage of by the Mage Association during this period and then received help from the Far East Mage Association, this was far from enough.

After all, most of those magic families have territory, industry, and technology.

It's estimated that some major families are also paying attention to the Far East Magic Association.

The fact that they repelled the Mage Association's punitive force was surprising enough, but not enough to put their minds at ease.

To give them a warning, and also to reassure them...

In Europe, where the Dead Apostle War is about to break out, defeating Arcueid the White Princess should be enough of a feat!

Roland pondered the situation, then raised his hand high, declaring victory to the surrounding magicians, which elicited cheers from them.

During this battle, they all received Roland's command, and many were saved by Roland's magic. Now, after declaring victory, Roland used Medea's Ring to heal the wounded.

It can be said that, for a time, these magicians, who originally had different thoughts but wanted to stay and see things clearly because of Roland's guidance, also gained some recognition of Roland.

Luvia and Sakura looked at Roland in the crowd, exchanged a glance, and then laughed.

Luvia made the same exclamation as when they entered Einzbernburg.

"Roland is indeed too kind, too kind for a magician."

If it weren't for what happened before, Luvia probably wouldn't have thought it was a coincidence either. But the previous events, coupled with the good impression left by Edelfelt being saved by Roland, made Luvia somewhat prejudiced.

In addition, the Magic Association did leave her with a very bad impression.

So she was probably present, one of the very few people who believed that this was indeed a coincidence.

Sakura was one of these people, so after hearing Luvia's words, she nodded silently and looked at Roland with her gentle eyes, her gaze filled with longing.

If Rin Tohsaka were here, seeing her younger sister like this, even without hairspray, she would probably still say something like, "Admiration is the furthest distance from understanding."

However, since she wasn't there, Roland, after helping the magicians heal their injuries, talked to them about the Far East Magic Association's rules and regulations for joining.

If you don't want to join the Far East Magic Association, we'll do our best to help you get rid of the association's threats.

The Far East Magic Association is also welcome to join.

It's that simple.

Therefore, the magicians present, including Luvia and Sakura, listened very attentively to Roland's explanation of the system and rules.

However, Luvia knew that the Far East Magic Association was at least related to the Umbrella Corporation and the Einzbern, so it must be powerful and should be strong enough. In addition, she had a good impression of Roland and a bad impression of the Magic Association. So she was prepared to accept that even if the rules were a bit harsh.

But in reality, after Roland finished explaining the situation of the Far East Magic Association, the magicians present looked at each other in disbelief.

They were all somewhat surprised.

It's not that I'm surprised the situation is too harsh, but... compared to the current Mage Association's rules, which are almost anthropomorphic, the Far East Mage Association's rules are too good, and too human-like!

....

59. Transferring from left hand to right hand

The Magicians' Association was founded by the disciples of King Solomon.

Its history may date back to the death of King Solomon.

Modern magic was developed by King Solomon, whose disciples built the foundation for magic, which eventually evolved into the magic we know today.

It can be said that the concept of magic is inseparable from the Magic Association.

Therefore, this ancient magic association is quite powerful towards magic families, and its rules are very strict.

Apart from the families left behind by those who participated in the establishment of the Magic Association at its inception, subsequent magic families were inherently inferior to the Magic Association.

After that, the Magic Association led another wave of mystery revival.

They also played a significant role in the invasion of Zhu Yue, and even Zhu Yue was defeated by Zelrich, a disciple of King Solomon.

This has resulted in many small and medium-sized magic families being dissatisfied with the association but having no way to say anything about it.

At most, they're just like the family Bazett belongs to.

Bazett's family used their reclusive lifestyle as an excuse to never contact the Magic Association. Even when Bazett wanted to work for the Magic Association, her parents strongly opposed it.

The Mage Association's strictness includes, but is not limited to, the designation of seals for magicians with exceptional talent or achievements.

By confining the association's top leadership to a few major families, other magic families have no chance of getting involved.

A powerful but not powerful enough magician to seal a specific position will find an excuse to appoint you as a priest, 297. However, a large family can achieve the Grand position through power struggles.

There are even those monarchs of the Clock Tower and the like. Don't worry about how well they study magic. Anyway, they're already at the Color Rank, and they're inherently one level away from the Grand Rank. What can you do about it?

This set of rules has effectively trapped small and medium-sized magic families.

Those magicians who are not from aristocratic families, but are commoners, may actually band together due to their sheer number, thereby gaining some influence.

With the recent chaos caused by the Dead Apostles, the Mage's Association plans to directly target a wave of small and medium-sized magic families.

It's fair to say that the Magic Association has long since lost its humanity in the eyes of these magic families!

Those who come to Einzbernburg because of the benefits brought by the eastward relocation of Einzbernburg are mostly representatives of small and medium-sized magic families. Therefore, in their view, the Far East Magic Association should be roughly the same.

but

"After joining the Far East Magic Association, everyone mainly sticks together for mutual support. So, if we need to exchange ideas, sending people to the Far East Magic Association headquarters to study magic is highly recommended, but not mandatory."

"Everyone should work together when the association calls for help, and the association will also lend a hand if problems arise."

"If conflicts arise among magicians within the association, they can request the association's assistance in mediating."

"Furthermore, magic families and magicians need to register with the association and be rated."

"If the association has a commission that a magician needs to complete, then especially if it is a commission specifically requested, you should take it first. Of course, the association will provide a good reward when it issues the commission, so at least you won't be at a disadvantage."

"As for the management of secrecy, we are all magicians, so we must all know about it. There are detailed plans and regulations, and we basically maintain secrecy."

"However, the so-called sealing designation will be cancelled—instead, arrest warrants and crackdowns will be issued for magicians who violate the rules or cause significant harm."

Roland first explained the management structure of the Far East Magic Association, and then waited for the thinking magicians to ask questions.

"Mr. Roland, is it true that the sealing designation has been cancelled?"

"of course."

Roland answered the other party with a smile.

“I’ve always felt that designating outstanding magicians for sealing is an outdated and inhumane rule. While it’s true that the control over the mystical should be strict, everyone knows that the range of targets chosen for sealing is too broad. Rather than a mechanism designed to control the mystical, it’s more of a mechanism for certain people to profit from, so of course it should be abolished.”

Upon hearing Roland's answer, many magicians nodded in agreement.

This is also a matter of course.

Just like Kiritsugu Emiya's father, regardless of whether his father was a good person or a bad person, the reason he was sealed was because he proposed a very realistic method to reach the Root, which was considered feasible by the vast majority of people. Even Kiritsugu Emiya's master told him that when she went to the Clock Tower, this idea even became a hot topic of discussion.

Therefore, Kiritsugu Emiya's father was attacked by others and was directly sealed away.

Aozaki Touko is pretty much the same.

What association claims to be acting out of goodwill for protection? In the end, it's all about self-interest.

Therefore, canceling the designated seal is what everyone wanted.

That was one point. After that, there were some other random and obscure questions, all of which were answered by Roland one by one.

During this process, the magicians present gradually came to understand the entire set of rules and regulations based on the skeleton that Roland had initially described.

After all, rules can't just have the initial framework, and no rule can handle all problems. There are many things that need to be expanded, and there are many times when special cases need to be handled specially.

There are also some unspoken rules that cannot be discussed openly and can only be determined through Roland's attitude.

This is what we need to specifically learn about.

And while Roland was telling them these things, Aozaki Aoko and the others also came over.
