In the six months since arriving at the Divine Tower of Dark Flame, Sein’s main task had been managing the contracts and retention of departing mages.3

As dean, the position afforded him a clearer understanding of the divine tower’s current state.0

Before the Divine Tower of Dark Flame waged war against Gumo Plane, it had 19,876 registered mages.0

While nearly twenty thousand mages was not an overwhelming number compared to other divine towers, it was still a considerable force.0

In the aftermath of the Gumo Plane War, the number of registered mages had plummeted to 3,207 in less than a year.0

The majority of the reduction was not due to battlefield casualties. While some mages had indeed fallen during the war, most chose to leave the divine tower after the conflict concluded.0

Thanks to the combined efforts of Sein...0
