章 1417: -1398- [ Sky Wizard ]
Regardless of the world, people can always live amidst boundless nature.
Lush forests.
Vast lands.
Refreshing grasslands.
Bustling cities.
These are places humans have conquered and essential nests for life to flourish, symbolizing the future and prosperity.
However, in this world, such scenes do not exist.
Here, the land bears no trace of humanity.
Here, nature holds no breath of life.
In this desolate world, only invaders bringing despair, terror, and darkness exist.
As for humans and other life forms, they have long been driven out of this land.
Of course, humans are not entirely absent from this world.
They have merely left the surface and moved to places that can sustain their existence.
Thus, in a corner of this world, there is a city suspended in the air, three thousand meters above the ground.
Yes.
A city.
In this expanse of sky, a city floats.
It is a city like an island, with towering buildings on the upper part and a massive inverted pyramid-shaped rock below, covered by a giant dome on the outside, with huge rings slowly rotating around it, resembling a small planet.
————.
A city that floats in the sky, supported by massive flying stones.
It is a city created by the fusion of modern magic and advanced science, and it is humanity's haven in this world. It has both above-ground facilities for living and various underground facilities like factories, allowing humans to carry out activities just like on the ground, even while floating in mid-air. It is both humanity's last fortress and the final place for life to thrive.
And in this floating city, there exists the guardians of the sky.
The story begins here.
In this floating city academy — Mistgun.
...
"Phew————!"
In the boundless high sky, strong winds roared like an invisible tsunami, bringing with them the distant air and the scent of the earth.
In the sky above the floating city Mistgun, about five thousand meters above the ground, a boy floated.
The boy wore a black uniform with white edges, a long coat and a brown vest on the upper body, and well-pressed trousers on the lower body, looking sharp and capable, with a handsome appearance exuding a strange leadership charm.
However, at this moment, this boy was lying in mid-air as if lazing around, looking at the unchanging sky with a mix of boredom and tedium.
"No matter how you look at it, staring at this scene all the time is getting tiresome."
The boy casually voiced his thoughts.
A closer look would reveal that on the hands resting behind his head, both his left and right hands wore rings.
The difference was that the boy's left hand bore a delicate silver ring, while his right hand bore a dazzling golden ring, a pairing of silver and gold that seemed perfect.
This boy was Rozen.
Rozen was lying there as if slacking off, treating the sky like an ocean, letting his body float with the wind while he hummed and pretended to nap.
Unfortunately, Rozen had no idea that during his absence from Mistgun, the entire floating city had gone mad searching for him.
This was understandable.
Rozen had been in this world for fifteen years.
In those fifteen years, Rozen's influence on this world had been tremendous.
In fact, it could be said that Rozen's presence in this world had a greater impact than all the other worlds he had traversed combined.
Unreservedly, Rozen's appearance was both a hope and a milestone for humanity in this world.
Now, the humans of this world could not afford to lose Rozen, or the loss would be beyond what they could bear.
So, if people knew Rozen was just slacking off here, it would surely make everyone dizzy.
But Rozen had to do this.
Otherwise...
"Those unscrupulous guys would definitely make me work non-stop, 24/7, until I drop dead, right?"
Rozen constantly cursed as if he had joined a black-hearted company.
Until...
"Even so, don't just disappear without a word, do you know how many people are going crazy?"
A clear and elegant voice tinged with a bit of helplessness and displeasure sounded from behind Rozen.
Rozen let out a sigh.
Reluctantly, Rozen raised his head and looked behind him.
There, someone had appeared, floating behind the lying Rozen, less than half a meter from his head.
"Sure enough, you're slacking off again."
A girl's voice, both helpless and unsurprised, echoed in the high sky.
It was a girl wearing a sky-blue long dress-like uniform with white sleeves, blackish-purple long hair tied in a long ponytail with a pink ribbon, looking extremely delicate and exuding a gentle atmosphere.
"Chloe..."
Rozen squinted his eyes as if he had expected the girl to find him, feeling both helpless and annoyed.
"You've really gotten skilled at this, always finding me so quickly."
Rozen half-squinted his eyes, making this statement without much feeling.
"Because I've been trained since childhood. Who told you to be so good at disappearing?"
The girl named Chloe smiled gently, accepting Rozen's complaint.
"But acting like this is not the behavior of a proper adult. As the vice-captain of the S128 squad, you should turn a blind eye to the captain's actions if you want to get promoted smoothly."
Rozen talked nonsense.
"I'm sorry, but because of an unreliable captain, I have no intention of getting promoted. Also, I'm not an adult, neither are you. We are still students, so don't talk like an experienced middle-aged man, okay?"
Chloe puffed up her cheeks, turning her gentle demeanor into a sense of cuteness.
"Then let me say one more thing."
Rozen made his final resistance.
"What is it? I'm all ears."
Chloe looked at Rozen with a smile.
So...
"You using flight magic to float in front of me, I can see everything."
Rozen's gaze had been fixed below Chloe's skirt since the beginning.
It's already clear what he saw.
"...!"
Chloe finally reacted, her face turning red, instinctively pressing down her skirt and glaring at Rozen.
"Buzz!"
The next second, with a tremor in the air, strong magical power gathered at her slender fingertips, forming a powerful magic bullet.
"Hey!"
Rozen hurriedly flipped up in panic.
"Pervert!"
"Stop!"
With Chloe's embarrassed cry, the magic bullet streaked through the high sky, dispersing the distant clouds.
Rozen could only dodge the incoming magic bullets with dizzying movements, flying toward Mistgun below.
"Really..."
Chloe finally withdrew her magic, looking at Rozen's retreating figure with a mix of complaint and gentle eyes.
This same scene had played out between them many times.
Since childhood, it had always been this way.
Even as the years passed, their relationship remained pure and direct.
Thinking of this, Chloe smiled softly and gracefully swam through the air like a mermaid, heading toward the floating city.
This is a story that unfolds in the sky.
And the protagonists of this story are them.
