Duel in a Sword & Magic World: Girls Spirit Duelist Chapter 402 402: DSMW [402]

The second day of the tournant ended smoothly, with each of the three academies taking one victory apiece.

Since there hadn't been another catastrophic nuclear explosion leveling the track this ti, the third day of the Turbo Duel Tournant was scheduled for two days later.

Half of the event had already been played, and by now, Miles could roughly predict who the remaining Duelists from each academy would be.

Although the situation was grim, when it ca to the uncertain duels ahead, there wasn't much Miles could do besides leaving it to each contestant's performance… and to whichever side Lady Luck chose to favor in the end.

He had already done everything he could. From here on out, it was up to fate.

With that in mind, Miles glanced at the steadily increasing Republic Knight's Badge value and the nearly 500 Magic Points Aisha had earned over the past few days, and decided to make another trip to Viel's Magic Workshop.

It wasn't that the mid-tier Magic Directory at the academy could no longer satisfy him; rather, simply that once you knew there was a place where you could get a higher-tier Magic Directory for free, it was hard to settle for less.

That was just human nature: No one wants to compromise.

Besides, he might even find so Spell Cards there that couldn't be found in the academy's regular catalog.

Seeing Miles heading out with such high expectations, Aisha, right after lunch, took the opportunity—while Ren and Ecclesia were still busy eating—to sneak away for a walk, telling herself it was just a bit of post-al exercise, and headed alone toward the shabby workshop.

At this hour, that bratty loli Viel was probably just getting out of bed.

"The town's recovered quite a bit, hasn't it, Mr. Miles?"

"Yeah. Once people get used to convenience, it's hard for them to give it up."

At first, many people in Axet were resistant to using magic stones.

Albeit after a few days, when they realized life without them was nearly impossible, they naturally picked the habit back up.

It was an inevitable result. From the start, Miles had never expected Axet to truly ban the use of magic stones.

And that was good enough.

Ordinary people would simply beco more cautious and conservative with their use of energy.

anwhile, the upper echelons of the Republic would place greater importance on research and developnt, exploring ways to improve the magic stones themselves.

Even if the change seed trivial, the future was often built upon countless such trivial shifts.

"By the way, Mr. Miles, I shouldn't be recognized, right?"

Wearing a pair of ridiculous sunglasses she'd sohow gotten her hands on, Aisha—now known across the Axet Republic as its savior—wasn't exactly free to show her face in public.

If anyone recognized her, the sheer enthusiasm of the crowd would drown them in no ti, and Miles's plan to visit Viel's workshop to synthesize cards would go up in smoke.

"With sunglasses that ugly, I doubt anyone could recognize you."

"Geh?! (╯>д
