Rudger, who recovered his mana, looked at the peoples reactions.
I released the mana to show them, but I should have said it was 90% not 50%.
In fact, the mana he had just pulled out was the maximum mana he could use, excluding the seal control technique.
Of course, in terms of the amount emitted, it was more than 90% of his total mana. Rudger deliberately said 50% to bluff.
Did everyone think it was too little because I said 50 percent? But its a shame that I cant correct it now.
Fortunately, his maximum mana increased thanks to the elixir given by the School Association. Thanks to this, he was able to handle more mana than before, so he didnt show much. It was also because he was a little happy because of his innate lack of mana.
When he saw their reactions, he thought it was a little too much.
In this case, it would be best to just ignore it.
For now, the first day went smoothly. Since there are only students with strong self-esteem, they will try to use their magic without listening to me even if I tell them to rest well.
How long will it take?
In terms of talent alone, the children gathered here were better than Rudger himself. His only way forward is to follow what someone has already made.
Now that theyre on their own path, these applicants must be what people call a real talent.
I said a day, but it must be shorter than that.
He was looking forward to how long it would take.
Thats it for today.
At the same time as Rudger uttered the words, the restless observers rose up from their chairs. They wanted to ask Rudger as soon as possible how he interpreted the Larsil language and how he made the mana inhibitor.
Although he wouldnt let them know, the intense curiosity and the amazing discovery made them look like moths that naturally led them into flames.
Rudgers research was so attractive.
Well, Mr. Rudger!
As soon as an observer of the Old Tower with a beard like a goat tried to call Rudger, there was a person in front of him, Elisa Willow, president of Theon.
She looked at the observers with golden eyes smiling like a crescent moon.
Does Mr. Kumatap have anything to do with our Mr. Rudger?
Well, thats.
I remember you made a promise in advance. As an observer, you simply have to testify at a later presentation of the results of our study. That was the original contract, right? You cant break that.
Even so, this is such a big discovery! If you dont let everyone know about this, itll slow down the development of the magic world!
Then why dont you open the secret warehouse of the Tower and show it to the world for the development of the magic world? There must be a lot of magic, artifacts, and papers that you hold in your arms.
The eyebrows of an angry observer wriggled at the insult of his organization.
President, youre talking too much. Are you insulting our Tower?
Yes, so?
The presidents words were firm, and her actions were dignified.
What.
And Im even thinking of kicking you out if you dont want to respect the contract.
The wizard of the Old Tower, who was trying to argue, had no choice but to shut up since he was only an observer.
Its good to ask a little because of curiosity, but youre not allowed to have excessive contact with the other person or to cross the line.
Since it was notified in advance, the observer of the Old Tower had no choice but to chew on his lips without being able to refute it.
Its unusual that the president acts like that. I actually saw it with both eyes.
He had to submit a report to the Tower right away. However, it was hard to believe even for the person who saw it with his own eyes and it was questionable whether the people who received the report would believe it.
The president is blatantly protecting Rudger Chelici. If, as I said, Larsil language interpretation is clear and the study of mana emissions through mana inhibitors is successfully concluded.
At that time Theon would be holding a huge knife.
Im just going to have to watch this?
Moreover, to be honest, he didnt have the courage to confront the president.
What about Rudger Chelici?
To be honest he got goosebumps when he unleashed his mana a little while ago.
His emission is high and it even made a mana fog. Hes a much more powerful man than the public knows.
It means that not only his magic theory but also his power is great.
I heard that he wasnt that strong during the duel at the Magic Festival. Did he hide his strength?
This terrible amount of mana is not enough to use the rare light attribute element magic.
He didnt understand why such a man was working as a teacher in a place like this. Even though he is young, he is at a high level of seniority in terms of mana.
I have no choice but to step down for now.
As an observer, he made a rational judgment.
When he stepped down, an observer from the School Association also looked around and left. Only Luchek of the New Tower bowed to the president before leaving.
The president shook her head with a smile on her face.
Oh, my. Even if its part of the show, youve shown you too much Mr. Rudger.
To be honest, she was also surprised but people couldnt tell because of her worldly skills and poker face.
If youre going to do this, you should have told me in advance.
Elisa glanced at Rudger with discontent. Feeling that gaze, Rudger wondered when the president stared at him.
What is it?
He thought the explanation was successful on the first day, but was there anything lacking?
I think I showed you everything you wanted to see.
Above all, he even handed over the data to the president in advance. After seeing it, she evaluated it on her own and stamped the research permit.
Did you want it to be more shocking?
If he had known this, he should have bluffed that when he released my mana, he used 20% of his total mana. But nothing changed because he regretted what had already happened, so Rudger humbly decided to accept his mistake.
Great job.
It wasnt much.
Rudger responded with a salute to the president.
So, are you sure the inhibitor works?
Yes.
What do you think will cause the increase in emissions, Mr. Rudger?
It depends on the person. Rather, the more mana you naturally have, the less the width.
In other words, the less mana you have, the more efficient it is.
Something like that.
Even if you use 10 out of 100 mana and release 20, it is 20% of the total.
Conversely, if you use 5 out of 50 mana and then release 20, it becomes 40% of the total.
Even if you cant reverse the amount of innate mana, you can at least make it equal.
It was the wisdom of distant ancestors who tried to find a way to overcome the difference in birth.
But if this method is true, old people will roll their eyes.
You dont have to worry about that.
What? Why?
Its for the same reason that only students were recruited as volunteers for the study. They will have to increase their emissions through this method, so I used mana inhibitors.
Elisa didnt know that either, so she had wrinkles on her fine forehead.
Is that true?
Yes, its only a way for young wizards who can still grow. Its no use to those who are already old.
Is it really of no use?
As I promised beforehand, students can show a big difference in a week. However, if you go beyond your 20s, there is no improvement even if you do it for half a year, and it is safe to say that it is virtually impossible if you do it later than that.
In fact, this was a method to foster young talents and had no effect on established wizards.
I cant believe the number of people who can feel the effect has narrowed down. Thats a bit of a shame.
Nevertheless, this method will cause a great stir in the magic world. Older wizards will be sorry, but if they can make a child they can raise him into a stronger wizard.
It was a great help in building up the familys power.
President wanted it, too?
Theres no wizard who would refuse to grow.
Sadly, the president cant do it.
What? Are you saying that Im old?
The presidents smile cracked and Rudger broke out in a cold sweat at the sight.
Come to think of it, how old is the president actually?
It occurred to him that maybe there was more than it seemed.
What I mean is that it wont make much difference if a person as talented as the president tries this method.
Thats enough. Well, its encouraging that it works for students, though.
Yes, but.
We cant give the same grace to all students. This is it, right?
For me, it doesnt matter if I just let everyone know.
At the words, the president stared at Rudgers face to distinguish whether the words were simply meant to be humble or sincere.
Do you really think so?
Personally I feel that it is not pleasant to give preferential treatment to a few.
I guess so. However, if this method is told to everyone.
Yes, Im sure the aftermath will be formidable.
This is the case with the herbal ingredients used in the mana inhibitor reagent. A particular group could have monopolized it and then tried to wield power with it.
There is no ideal situation in which everyone can benefit equally.
Humans have desires and those desired will produce far worse outcomes than originally hoped.
I also feel uncomfortable about solving this method, but.
But why did you say youd do it?
At least I think the president is a reliable person.
And this was also a return for her trust.
President Elisa decided to move on without finding fault with him, so he also showed a suitable appearance. However, the president opened her eyes wide as if Rudgers words were quite unexpected.
President, whats the matter?
No, its just unexpected. Well, Ive been looking forward to it this much, so Ill have to step up for the first time in a while to get the best results.
You can do as you please. Even if the president uses it for a little private greed, I wont say anything about it.
At that, the president glared at Rudger.
I wont do that. What do you see me as?
Rudger did not answer.
People have feelings and desires, so she wont do that now but there was no guarantee that she would continue to stay that way.
Some people dont change. However, there were only a few such people so it was a relief.
Considering the appearance of the person named Elisa Willow so far, it seemed that the situation that they were worried about would not happen.
Im counting on you to at least try for the kids.
No matter what, the result of all these achievements belongs to Mr. Rudger. I dont intend to take it away.
However, you can exert some influence on those who helped.
Yes, to use the knowledge in a good way.
On the surface, it seemed like a harmonious relationship, but in reality it was not because they do not judge people entirely emotionally.
Being swept away by the emotions of the moment and looking only at a bright future and ideals is what fools do. Both Elisha and Rudger knew that.
What makes them believe in each other is not a sincere voice or a heart-to-heart conversation. It was all about giving each other a knife to wield.
Rudger provided the data and President Elisa delegated authority to Rudger. That was the reason and it was more than enough.
They had a very cold and disciplined business relationship.
Please take good care of me in the future Mr. Rudger Chelici. No, should I call you Director of the Planning Department?
Rudger took the presidents outstretched hand and shook it.
You can call me comfortably president.

A quiet night had come and Rudger was working hard in his private room, organizing the research materials. Beyond the scarlet back, the sound of grass bugs crying came quietly from outside the window.
Its already this time.
Magic papers are important, but in addition, he had to check the progress of the business in Leathervelk.
After finishing the whole process, time flew by.
But its not bad.
The recent winds of change in Leathervelk have been quite encouraging.
It originated in the slums, and the completely changed slums are now called the name of a new street, not slums.
[Royal Street]
Many people came to the streets to match the name, and it was good news that sales were high every day.
Rudger, contented, folded Hans report and burned it with fire.
It was that moment that the ring on the desk trembled.
Are you finally here?
Rudger, who once thought this would come, grabbed the ring and put it on his finger.
He turned off all the lights in the room and sat on the sofa quietly closing his eyes.
The dream invitation for the meeting of the First Orders of the Black Dawn Society was finally here and Rudger was willing to accept it.
