Years passed, and by the time Lucielle was a teenager, she had far surpassed all the Mages that existed in the Kingdom.
Even Philius was now her disciple—at least, before he went out to the battlefield for the necessary Mage Support and never returned.
The same applied to most Mages at the time.
The only Mage that wasn't allowed to set foot on the battlefield at any point in time was Lucielle. She was too important as a resource to be risked in such a manner.
In a way, she was humanity's trump card.
"You don't know how it feels, Rey…" Lucielle whispered, laughing a little sadly. "Watching everyone you knew for a long time going to battle and never coming back."
"...."
"I doubt anyone has ever wanted to go to war like I did back then. I felt like I could change it all if only I was allowed on the battlefield."
With her knowledge and power, surely she could turn the tides of the war.
