“Why is that, Teacher?” Philia weakly coughed a few times, bowed her head, and said guiltily:
“If only I had the strength of the Three-circled… I could have informed the professor about Samuelson’s whereabouts in the Dreamscape…”
“There’s no need to blame yourself, Philia. The situation is far from being solved by simply reporting Samuelson’s whereabouts promptly. The Nest Core that appeared in the Savage Stone Wasteland also involves Magic Enlightenment.”
The noblewoman’s words made Philia visibly puzzled.
“Magic Enlightenment?” Philia blinked and asked:
“Are you referring to the ‘Magic Enlightenment’ mentioned in the first lesson of every Wizard Student? How can a Nest Core of an Aberration be involved with Magic Enlightenment?”
“Yes, Philia, you heard correctly; this whole incident is related to Magic Enlightenment. To understand this, you first need to clarify a few questions.”
The noblewoman asked:
“Do you still remember how Samuelson embarked on the path of a wizard?”
“A Magic Beast Lord of the Twilight Raven.” Philia answered.
“In that case, Samuelson is not a human, is he?” The noblewoman asked again.
“Yes, Teacher.”
“So do you think Aberrations can master the power of magic and become wizards?”
Philia was startled, “How is that possible, they can’t even…”
Philia suddenly paused and frowned:
“No, no, I’m wrong… If non-human creatures like Magic Beast Lords can become wizards, then, theoretically, Aberrations, which are also non-human entities, can become wizards too.”
“Hmm, that’s right. You see, you’ve caught the crux of the problem. The Tomb King became the leading figure of the Bone Magic Realm as a skeleton, and the Mother Night of the Night Spirit Cult was originally a demonized vampire bat. And not to mention the numerous other wizard forces.”
The noblewoman said:
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed one thing.
“In the whole Realm of Wizards, although we human wizards hold an absolute numerical and strength advantage, if we only calculate the proportion of human wizards within the wizard forces, only 10% of the wizard forces are composed entirely of human wizards. The rest of the wizard forces contain non-human wizards to varying degrees.”
The noblewoman said solemnly:
“This is the result of the long-term development of the wizard world, Philia. Humans were the first race to set foot on the path of wizards. Throughout the long history, human wizards helped other races complete their Magic Enlightenment, thus giving birth to the colorful World of Wizards.
“Now, as we speak, the Nest Core that has appeared in the Savage Stone Wasteland is undergoing Magic Enlightenment with Samuelson’s help. This news comes from Fugidia and the others’ professor. It was the last piece of information that Fugidia and the rest had sent to the professor before they lost contact. I am puzzled if an apparently mindless Nest Core could successfully complete Magic Enlightenment. I feel that there might be something we don’t know about this. However, all we can do now is wait.”
“But, Teacher, Samuelson is a Wizard Criminal. If he succeeds, it will certainly cause an unbelievable disaster. The enemies we will be facing will no longer be the clumsy Aberrations but a group of Aberration wizards!”
Philia, growing excited, coughed lightly a few times:
“…cough, cough… Are we really going to let Samuelson assist the Nest Core in Magic Enlightenment?”
The noblewoman slowly nodded:
“Yes, Philia, we are observers, recorders. Do you still remember the research goal set by the Wizard Advancement Association for us?”
Philia froze for two seconds and then nodded slowly, saying:
“…I remember. The Wizard Advancement Association asked us to develop ‘Aberration Magic’… so, you mean…”
The noblewoman stared at Philia:
“Just as you’re thinking right now.
“Researching ‘Aberration Magic’ requires the use of Aberrations. However, for a long time, we have been restrained by the Alchemy Cathedral and could not carry out magic experiments involving humanoid creatures. Therefore, we have been making slow progress in researching ‘Aberration Magic’.
“Now, Samuelson is conducting the Magic Experiment that we’ve always wanted to do.
“If he succeeds, then according to the rules set by the Wizard Advancement Association, his experimental results will belong to the only one First Level Magic Research Institute in the territory of the entire Golden Federation, which is us.
“If he fails, we will not have to bear any responsibility. As a Wizard Criminal, Samuelson will bear all the consequences.”
The mentor’s words left Philia speechless.
Philia bowed her head in thought, and it was not until half a minute later that she asked:
“Teacher, if this Magic Experiment causes a severe disaster, will we just stand by and watch?”
“By ‘disaster,’ do you mean the loss of personnel?” The noblewoman asked.
“Yes, Teacher.”
“Don’t worry about that. The Alchemy Cathedral will handle it.”
Before Philia could ask again, the noblewoman said:
“Are you thinking that our attitude towards the disaster is too indifferent? Do you think we should do something to reduce casualties?”
Philia nodded silently.
Then the noblewoman said gently:
“Philia, you are a kind-hearted child.
“If a person does good deeds with the starting point of doing good and follows the correct way of doing good, it is ‘possible’ for him to be seen as a kind person by others.
“But you must know that evil people will use the guise of goodness to do evil.”
