Every war must have a leader.
No matter how detached the Mage Tower and the Professional Association might be, in times of war, command falls to the City Lord.
The City Lord of Maple City is the supreme commander.
As the chief instructor of the City Lord's Mansion Mage Tutoring Corps, Allen was bound to become the commander of the Maple City Mage Corps.
How could El possibly accept this!
But even he had no say in the matter.
The outcome could only be changed if Martin himself stepped forward to challenge Allen for command of the Mage Corps.
El knew Martin's character. He wasn't someone who cared for power.
As long as Allen didn't do anything too outrageous, Martin wouldn't oppose him.
Seeing his brother's sour expression, Allen just smiled and didn't mock him further.
He looked toward Martin and greeted him with a smile. "Mage Martin, long time no see."
Martin replied, "Allen, I didn't expect you to become a Ring Mage."
