“…Do you understand?”
 
When I didn’t say a word, Aoi asked, seemingly gauging my reaction. How should I answer? Should I honestly say I don’t understand? Or should I give a vague answer to protect my pride as a small magician? The way of thinking and common sense I had as a magician until now were overturned in an instant.
 
But perhaps sensing our confusion, Aoi turned their palms upward and began to speak.… Read more

[SIDE: Crown]
 
A senior instructor from Fidic Academy. She was quite young, with an appearance that didn’t look like an instructor at all.
 
Many magicians have a strange sense of rivalry with Fidic Academy to begin with. The world’s top magic academy – many seem to simply believe the title and reputation at face value.
 
However, as is likely the case in any country, most of the top magicians become court magicians. Whether it’s because they have family and can’t leave the country, or they simply seek status, fame, and money, becoming a court magician is generally the goal for most.… Read more

Chapter 9: The Magic Research Laboratory
 

In the end, our discussions at the magic academy ended up focusing mostly on political matters, leaving no time to exchange information about magic circles and spells.
 
Balbrea told me we’d definitely make time for that next time, and with that we left the academy for the day.
 
By the way, it seems the students were given a proper tour of the academy. They were talking about the lecture styles and content, which apparently differed from Fidic Academy in interesting ways.… Read more

“Now then, I’d like you to redraw the magic circle.”
 
When Balbrea said this, I checked the material of the rooftop floor. Conveniently, a large seamless rock was placed. The magic circle was drawn on top of it.
 
“It’s a large rock floor. It’s pitch black, but was it carved out?”
 
When I asked, Balbrea slightly lowered her chin.
 
“It’s a rock called black eye stone. When conducting magic circle experiments, we need to redraw many times.… Read more

“The west side, ma’am?”
 
Cameron was surprised by Balbrea’s words. However, when Balbrea’s eyes sharpened, he quickly fell silent.
 
“That’s all. For the rest, please follow Cameron’s guidance.”
 
After confirming that Cameron had fallen silent, Balbrea concluded the conversation. And so, we exited the headmaster’s office.
 
As soon as we stepped into the hallway, Alabaster let out a sigh of relief.
 
“Aoi, you had me worried…”
 
Being told this reproachfully, I turned back to Strauss and the others, wondering what he meant.… Read more

Then, Alabaster cleared his throat and began to speak.
 
“Since I’ve told them I’m going to greet the academy headmaster today, I should be able to meet in the afternoon… I’d appreciate it if you didn’t push too hard, but could you ask?”
 
Alabaster responded to Aoi’s words with such a simple reply. It made one wonder if she was being blackmailed somehow. Alabaster’s response was surprisingly meek.
 
“The afternoon, is it? Well, we have time until then, so shall we observe some other lectures?”… Read more

Chapter 8: Critical Confidentiality.
 

“Don’t be ridiculous. All knowledge of the human body and each magical technique are important secrets that Maple Leaf has accumulated. It’s not so simple to…”
 
As he was speaking, Cameron’s face suddenly changed.
 
“…I see. So that’s what it is.”
 
Cameron seemed to have realized something.
 
“What is it?”
 
Cameron raised his eyebrows and looked straight at me.
 
“You were secretly using a magical tool, weren’t you?… Read more

Perhaps because it was a magic he had never seen before, I heard Cameron’s confused voice. The students too were looking at the young man’s healed body with amazed eyes.
 
“He’s still lacking blood.”
 
There’s no problem, but at this rate, it will take a while for him to regain consciousness. Thinking this, I took out a pill I had kept for emergencies. It was Owen’s secret Elven medicine. Despite being called a secret medicine, it can be easily made if you have the ingredients, so there’s no problem.… Read more

Perhaps it was unexpected, but Shenley, Aisle, and others held their breath. I wasn’t particularly surprised as I had anticipated this to some extent after hearing about the presence of severely injured patients. Probably, Strauss, Eliza, and Court felt the same. Alabaster, who hadn’t spoken at all until now, might have been in the special room before, judging from his grim expression.
 
Steeling ourselves, we passed by Cameron, who was waiting with the special room door open.… Read more

Maple Leaf is said to specialize in sacred magic also known as holy magic, or healing magic. Considering that the predecessor of the Holy Empire was a religious organization called the Maple Leaf Holy Church, it somehow makes sense.
 
However, if they focus too much on healing magic, other talented magicians might not have sufficient environments to research their respective types of magic. While specializing in one area might sound good, it eliminates the possibility of combining multiple types of magic from the start.… Read more
