Chapter 25: The Magias Rookie Tournament Attack Incident — Second Interim Report

Submitted to: Kingdom of Gleefia Senate Council

Prepared by: Kingdom Army Crisis Management Office

Classification: Confidential / Authorized Personnel Only

Date of Preparation: Day 16 Following the Incident

I. Incident Overview

On the Day of Dia, May 2, Year 2026 of the Dragon King Calendar.

During the Magias Magic Academy rookie tournament, a large-scale attack on the Magias grounds was carried out by Wilhelm Braham, a former student of the Imperial Archmage Faculty.

The assault commenced during the opening match of the tournament's first round and concluded thirty-five minutes later when Magias personnel subdued the mastermind, Wilhelm.

This incident is hereafter designated as the "Magias Rookie Tournament Attack Incident." The details from its onset to its resolution, along with all facts established to date, are documented below.

II. Progression and Resolution of the Incident

In this incident, the perpetrator illicitly seized control of the Guardian Barrier, an official Magias spell formula, while simultaneously executing a plan of mass destruction by detonating the Central Tower and deploying a large number of military magic beasts.

As a consequence, the defensive mechanisms across the Magias grounds were temporarily neutralized.

Furthermore, mana control interference was inflicted upon high-output mages—principally the faculty, security personnel, and upperclassmen of Magias—rendering the transmission of commands across various sectors virtually impossible.

Initially, evacuation guidance and interception efforts were mired in extreme chaos. However, the situation improved considerably due to the ad hoc response units, centered around the first-year students of the Imperial Archmage Faculty, operating effectively in multiple sectors.

In particular, the evacuation efforts conducted via wide-area telepathy, the emergency restoration of the Guardian Barrier's core formula, the rapid structural repairs to the Central Tower, and the tracking and neutralization support against hostile entities were of an exceptional standard for first-year students. It can be stated with certainty that these actions far exceeded the scope of duties normally expected of students.

Ultimately, Wilhelm Braham was subdued by Brendan Walker, placed under sealing restraint by Instructor Blanchard, and transferred into the custody of the Kingdom Military Police.

III. Perpetrator Details and Current Status

Subject: Wilhelm Braham.

Former student of the Magias Magic Academy Imperial Archmage Faculty, majoring in barrier magicology. Magic coefficient upon admission: 120 points (precision diagnosis).

In the past, he took part in maintenance and inspection work on the Guardian Barrier and was known to possess advanced knowledge and skill in the field.

Presently, the subject has been transferred under sealing restraint by the Kingdom Military Police to a special containment facility. Interrogations remain ongoing.

Furthermore, the Braham family completely denies any involvement in the incident.

IV. Detonation of the Central Tower and Illicit Seizure of the Guardian Barrier

Regarding the detonation of the Central Tower, current investigations have revealed that combustible mana fuel had been laid out within certain disused, obsolete pipelines.

These pipelines were located in a sector no longer utilized in the current operation of the Central Tower, making them prone to being overlooked during standard inspections.

Furthermore, physical traces indicate that the fuel and its associated formulas had been preserved against degradation by the Guardian Barrier itself.

From this, it is highly probable that the sabotage had been covertly prepared over the course of several months—a fact the subject admitted to during questioning.

Regarding the Guardian Barrier, records confirm that Wilhelm Braham participated in inspection work around the core formula as a temporary maintenance technician four years ago.

At present, it is presumed that the perpetrator covertly tampered with a portion of the formula at that time, configuring it to trigger remotely or via a time-delay mechanism on the day of the incident.

However, the full scope of the tampering remains undetermined.

To begin with, even within modern magicology, much remains unknown regarding the central formula of the sacred guardian barrier created by the former headmaster of Magias, Archmage Lorelei. How Wilhelm succeeded in rewriting its chain of command remains unclear. It can be said that this act of sabotage was achievable solely by him, a prodigy in barrier magicology.

Re-analysis by specialized casters is currently underway.

V. Distribution Routes of Military Magic Beasts and Teleportation Gates

On the day of the incident, a large number of military magic beasts were deployed across the Magias grounds via teleportation.

It has been confirmed that a portion of these beasts were contraband diverted through illegal guilds.

However, the currently identified distribution route goes cold at the lowest syndicates, and the underlying supplier has yet to be identified.

Additionally, regarding the teleportation gates used to summon the magic beasts onto the academy grounds, it has been determined that the formulas utilized were not of an individual's making.

Considering the scale, precision, and activation time of the teleportation gates, it is highly doubtful that this was executed by a lone perpetrator.

The Kingdom Military Police and the Royal Ministry of Justice are proceeding with their investigation under the strong suspicion that a large-scale external criminal organization was involved in the procurement of the military magic beasts and the deployment of the teleportation gates.

VI. Casualties

No fatalities have been confirmed in this incident.

Four individuals sustained severe injuries.

All four are currently in stable condition or are recovering.

In addition, multiple individuals sustained minor injuries resulting from falls during evacuation, magic beast attacks, flying debris, and the shockwaves of the explosions.

Most of the lightly injured received treatment at affiliated medical institutions in the royal capital or the Magias medical ward before being discharged.

Key factors contributing to the complete absence of fatalities include the swift execution of wide-area evacuation guidance during the initial phase, the interception mounted by faculty and security personnel, and the coordinated emergency responses carried out by the first-years of the Imperial Archmage Faculty.

VII. Status of the Principal Culprit's Deposition

Wilhelm Braham is currently detained at the Kingdom Military Police Special Containment Facility.

Under standard interrogation, he has repeatedly resorted to silence, self-justification, or provocative retorts; at present, actionable testimony remains limited.

The following is an excerpt from the interrogation transcript:

Interrogator: When did you plant the explosives for the Central Tower detonation?

Wilhelm: I exercise my right to remain silent.

Interrogator: State the date of installation.

Wilhelm: I exercise my right to remain silent.

Interrogator: Where did you obtain the military magic beasts?

Wilhelm: I exercise my right to remain silent.

Interrogator: Did you have accomplices?

Wilhelm: I exercise my right to remain silent.

*Note: In consideration of emotional distress resulting from prolonged restraint, the interrogator applied a low-depth mental stabilization spell formula.

Interrogator: When did you plant the explosives for the Central Tower detonation?

Wilhelm: Three months before I received the recommendation to withdraw from the academy. I did it on an impulse, and ultimately, that served as the starting point for this attack.

Interrogator: Where did you obtain the military magic beasts?

Wilhelm: I purchased them from a man named Oswald. They were bred illegally in a provincial city to the north.

Interrogator: How did you teleport the magic beasts onto the Magias grounds?

Wilhelm: I don't know the precise mechanism behind the teleportation either. Whether it was magic cast by an individual or generated by a mana engine was withheld from me until the very end.

Interrogator: By whom?

Wilhelm: By Oswald.

Interrogator: Is Oswald an accomplice? When did you make contact with him?

Wilhelm: Oswald—gh, n-no, last year, th-they suddenly con—contacted me out of nowhere, ah.

Interrogator: Does the organization known as Arcadia ring a bell?

Wilhelm: I-I d-d—aaaaaaaagh—in, in front of me, th-th-that, don't, don't, don't speak that name!

Interrogator: Does the organization known as Arcadia ring a bell?

Wilhelm: No! I'm not being used! Th-th-this wasn't supposed to, agh, to begin with, gh-ga, f————fffffffffirst I was directly operating the control terminal for the teleportation gate m-m-m-m-m-myself—

*Note: Subject suddenly fell into a state of acute delirium. Interrogation was temporarily suspended due to the impossibility of continuing questioning. It appears a mental interference formula was placed upon the subject to prevent information leaks.

End of excerpt.

VIII. Summary

This incident has exposed critical vulnerabilities in the defensive framework of Magias Magic Academy and the security protocols of public events.

Conversely, because the emergency measures spearheaded by the first-year students of the Imperial Archmage Faculty functioned effectively amidst the immediate chaos, the collapse of the Central Tower, the total loss of the Guardian Barrier, and massive civilian casualties were successfully averted.

Moving forward, comprehensive inspections of the Guardian Barrier, re-examinations of disused facility sectors, re-audits of access privileges for withdrawn and expelled students, and investigations into the black-market distribution of military magic beasts will proceed.

IX. Supplementary Matters

Regarding the analysis of residual traces from the teleportation gate formulas:

There is an extremely high probability that the formula in question is an extended function of the Infinite Multiplication Great Dragon Vein, "Online," which has been lost for many years.

Furthermore, no traces of Irvion being used in this incident have been confirmed at present.

Accordingly, the precise whereabouts of these two Great Treasures remain unknown.

End of report.

Postscript:

I leave it to your discretion whether to include these matters in the public statement.
