Ch. 28.2
Main Tower, 79th floor.

Vice-principal's Office.

Stella Academy's vice-principal and Class 8 mage, Archie Hayden, stood before Professor Maizen Tyren and said.

“I heard that you were humiliated by a student this time, Professor Maizen.”

“…. I am ashamed of you. How do you feel?"

At question, Maizen bit his lip.

“… I feel bad.”

“Is that it?”

A persistent question.

However, Maizen seemed bewitched by his question.

He answered.

“I feel bad and angry. Why was a bastard given such talent... I can't quite understand.”

"Yes. Very good. Haha."

Archie Hayden stood up, patted Professor Maizen on the shoulder, and whispered quietly.

“You should move forward with that spirit. What do you think? I have been working with the researchers on the study of 'Delta Augmentation Technique'."

"Is it being done?”

Professor Maizen was able to smile for the first time.

“Of course.”

Currently, he was conducting a very special research. In a very special organisation called Wulzerin, there were many outstanding 'researchers,' and they were currently conducting a research on ‘Delta Augmentation Technique' to combine alchemy and magic engineering.

Virtually impossible research.

Alchemy, which dealt with the essence of matter, and magic engineering, which gave magic to the material itself…

Numerous geniuses had tried so far, and all had failed.

But, this time, it would be different.

“Does your head feel a little awake? The time has come for the effect of the special 'blessing' that I have placed on you to expose itself.”

"Yes. Thanks to that, research is progressing rapidly.”

At those words, Archie smiled.

'Stupid…’

He wouldn't even know who he was being fooled by.

No, maybe he didn’t mind even if he knew.

He coveted status and honor, and if he could obtain them, he would make contracts with real devils.

‘A magic warrior to fight against the Dark Demons, who works for the Dark Demons......'

How much the world would laugh at that fact when they find out belatedly. Just thinking about that time made him feel dizzy with excitement.

'It’s about time now.’

Pushed by the power of the magicians, the dark demons always had to hide. Now, there was only one way left.

With technology that was one step ahead of that of current mages, and cause chaos in the society.

'If alchemy engineering is completed, it is possible enough...'

‘Soon, the time will come. Until then, I will wait quietly with bated breath.’

Alterisha had nothing that she could call a private laboratory. She was only temporarily using the warehouse attached to Professor Maizen Tyren's laboratory.
