The three sages do not utter a word until they confirm Iris's presence is distant yet still inside the building. Chief insert the memory card into the magi device projector and demonstrate his proficient handling of the slides as though it is not his first time doing so when in fact it is.


On the other hand, Lord Sol is tapping his finger on the armrest, deep in thoughts then releases a long sigh and mutters, "This is a lot to process."


Elder Spirit responds on the head elf's muttering, "I'm sure everything will go well. This is different from her usual recklessness. Isn't that right, Chief?"


Chief who's been absorbed with the content of the slides shift his attention to his fellow sages when he is called.


"You are the expert amongst the three of us. What are your thoughts?"


Chief responds to Elder Spirit's query as he strokes his beardless chin.


"The designs and specifications are meticulously written. Looking from the eyes of a craftsman myself, the materials are within the reasonable cost; not too expensive without lowering the quality which means they already considered the budget for the people who needs the magi devices."


Elder Spirit beams to the point her incorporeal figure is shimmering a shade brighter as though she is listening to the teacher complimenting her daughter's achievement in class. Out of nowhere, Chief begin boasting.


"My intuition never fails me."


Not caring the way Lord Sol and Elder Spirit is ignoring him, Chief continues talking. "Assigning Iris with Kif's apprentice was the right decision."


"If only she could show the same consideration when she is practising her magic," Lord Sol grumble by himself.


"As you said earlier, the outcome of Iris's presentation could potentially benefit the field of recovery," Elder Spirit reminds the grumbling elf.


"I expected a feasible magi device that could immediately be implemented in the rehabilitation centre or an improvement of an existing magi device such as the purification chamber," Lord Sol retorts and continues speaking. "Instead, she took it further by including the rangers."


What he doesn't know is that while readying the presentation, Iris finds herself going back to being an office worker and put all her effort into perfecting it. As it happens, Chief flips to a new slide page that shows alternative ideas that utilize 'heat sensor' apart from the helmet version.


The title read, "Flip-up eyeglasses."


Chief speaks with vigour, "Look at this! Overlapping lens! Normally, the durability of the telescopic lens is fragile that it cannot handle more than one enchanted effect, however! According to these, if we substitute the lenses for normal eyewear with the telescopic lens..."


"The newly added effects would overlap with the lens that is already enchanted with the magnifying effect and since they are functioning separately, the usability and longevity of the lenses should increase," Lord Sol intercept in a subdued voice.
