Chapter 296 Peace

Part 2

“The Black World Tree............ Is the information that it’s an imitation of the World Tree not far off the mark?” (Professor 1)

“Isn’t its Magic Absorption just a side effect? When you look at its behavior, it makes more sense to think that it did what it did because its real mission was to grow. It is said that the World Tree is rooted in the earth and has stored enormous magic power over a long period of time.” (Professor 2)

For Magi, an excellent staff that dramatically increases the quality and number of spells they can cast is something they desperately want.

In this day and age, excellent staff are extremely rare. The performance of a staff increases or decreases greatly depending on the materials used, the skill of the maker, and the timing of the creation, so there is no two staff that are alike, and it is said that even a first-class wand maker can only produce one in ten staff that can withstand practical use.

Moreover, wands produced with modern technology are vastly inferior to those generated as a Relic. Most of the wands possessed by famous Magi are nearly one-of-a-kind Relics, and wands that are comparable to those Relics are produced in extremely small quantities and are sold for a terrifying price.

.

As one would expect, most professors at Zebrudia Magic Academy already have famous wands, but when the possibility of creating a powerful wand lies before them, it is inevitable that they will throw off the task of rebuilding the school building and gather in the auditorium.

Sage, also known as 《Immortal (Fumetsu)》, has been a Magi for much longer than she looks, but she has never heard of a substitute for the World Tree.

“From what I have checked, it seems that the wand that was brought in did not go out of control at the time when it was touched by the 《Sword Saint’s (Kensei)》 Magi companion. Could it be that after being buried in the 《Sword Saint’s (Kensei)》 warehouse for so many years and not being used, the lack of Magic power could have caused it to run amok?” (Professor 3)

“So it was filled up with the attacks made by Rosemary and the Magi from the academy...... It does make sense, in a manner of speaking――” (Professor 4)

“So, you’re saying that 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 anticipated this and sent the wand to you?” (Professor 5)

That’s ridiculous............

At these words, the professors all look at Sage. But no one seemed to object. On the contrary, they were even reluctantly in favor of the idea.

What is behind the thoughts of these great masters of Magic in the Imperial Capital? No............ This is――.

Sage frowned at the looks, which even felt like they had weight behind them, and said.

“............ I understand. However, this wand was undoubtedly made possible with the help of the Magi in each laboratory, so if we make any new discoveries, we will be sure to work together promptly.” (Sage)

“This is a great discovery that will go down in history. You have my best regards, Professor Sage.” (Professor 1)

This is――A collar.? Sage, who was the only professor in the academy who was completely unconvinced by this situation, was given something so that she wouldn’t do anything unnecessary, it was a bait.

Of course, there is most likely also some of 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 consideration behind his action. After all, there is no doubt that the young man cares about Lucia.

Apparently, this is as far as I will go this time. But I will not forgive you. I will not forgive you for giving Lucia such a strange grimoire and twisting her talent into that strange direction――.

One of the professors called out to Lucia, who was quiet all the time.

“Please give him my best regards. 《Infinite Variety’s (Senpen Banka)》 sister.” (Professor 2)

“I am, his sister-in-law!” (Lucia)

Lucia clenched her fists and raised her voice at the professor, who was twice her senior.

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

Haha only Lucia and Sage are against Cry.

But in the end thanks to Infinite Variety’s divine strategy everyone is happy!

Tchao à plus!
