Chapter 90
Chapter 90 Strongest Sage, Restores
--A while after the match .
After getting the cooperation of First Academy students, the work to create materials for the great capital barrier is going well .
Their skill level isn"t high at all, their strength lies in number .
The First Academy students are doing the simple parts like the initial phase of the refining while being supervised by the Second Academy, so the processed materials are piling up .
Students whose crests weren"t of Glory Crest and had nothing to do until the match also became quite busy ever since the number of students with Glory Crest suddenly exploded .
"Yup . We"re progressing nicely . "
"I thought the First Academy"s education would take some time, but they might become battle ready faster than expected . "
Princ.i.p.al Edward nodded satisfyingly .
It"s probably thanks to the teachers" guidance and the result of stir in the match back then .
Though, it might also partly because of Ruli demonstrating the merit of chantless magic by having to be their first opponent in their first lesson .
"By the by . "
Princ.i.p.al Edward stopped there and stared at me with a serious look .
Did anything happen .
"What"s the matter?"
"You remember how Feycas was when he appeared in the match day back then?"
Ah . About Feycas huh .
The princ.i.p.al might be suspecting that he was being brainwashed by the demons .
But that"s just a needless fear . I had a.s.sumed that much and investigated him with magic already .
"Ah . That Feycas was simply a fool . It"s not like he was brainwashed--"
"I got that already . The problem is . . . Er . . . Not the inside of his head, but the surface . "
The surface of . . . his head?
Was there something on Feycas"s head .
. . . Ah .
"Are you talking about his hair . "
That might have seemed odd indeed .
He went bald overnight because of 【Hair Root Extinction】 after all .
"Right . Mathias, you said that it was due to stress, but perhaps, his baldness was caused by your magic?"
"Who knows . "
I dodged the question .
Even in my past life, 【Hair Root Extinction】 was treated as one of the forbidden magic at one time because of how inhuman it was .
It was liberated from being a forbidden magic since a magic that could easily reverse the effect got developed, but it"s still not a magic with good image .
"No, I"m not going to pry into that point . . . . But what if, just what if okay? If that was Mathias"s magic . . . Doesn"t that mean it"s also possible to grow hair instead of losing?"
. . . Ah . That"s it huh .
Princ.i.p.al Edward is getting long in the tooth after all .
" . . . You owe me one . "
"Understood!"
I put 【Root Hair Restoration】 magic on princ.i.p.al Edward who instantly replied .
Since it has to wait for the hair to naturally grow, the effect won"t be instant like 【Hair Root Extinction】, but it should be obvious after a while .
It"s possible to make his hair instantly grow with other magic, but that will look unnatural .
"I"ve put the magic on you . It should show its effect in a few months time . "
" . . . My grat.i.tude . "
Perhaps this magic could bring me profit .
Well, I"m loaded with money so I"m not going to make a business out of this magic though .
Well, leaving aside the princ.i.p.al"s hair, our problem is the barrier .
" . . . The pace has increased, but we still don"t know whether we will make it in time or not . . . "
