"Young Master!"
The door of the club's dilapidated building opened, and one of Edmon's followers rushed in with a newspaper in hand.
"Ah, yes."
He diligently read the newspaper every morning. It was essential to quickly grasp how the magical society was flowing.
But sohow, the expression on the boy's face, holding the newspaper, was extrely pale. It gave a bad feeling.
Despite his young age, Edmon had experienced the dark political world to so extent, so he had an instinctual sense.
'This doesn't feel good.'
Edmon had a chilling feeling in his chest, but he forced himself to swallow his saliva and calmly reached out his hand towards the newspaper.
anwhile, Baek Yu-Seol used disposable items during the duel and recorded the battle scene on video to send it to Alterisha through alchemy.
Although it was just a basic level item, the fact that he briefly overwheld Stella's second-year students without using any magic was enough to prove its performance.
In addition, by adding various experints and footage of professional mage warriors, Alterisha Research Institute recognized the practicality of the item and was finally able to secure a page in the newspaper.
**[Alchemist Alterisha Develops Future Magical Engineering Technology.] **
And thus, lian of the Starcloud Society was also able to receive the footage.
"Father, is that what they call an 'item'?"
"Yes. Isn't it fascinating?"
The head of the Starcloud Society, lian, warmly smiled and handed a bead-like object to his daughter, Jeliel.
"When you throw this, it generates a slight paralysis effect along with an electric shock. I'm thinking of developing it as a must-have item for won's safety."
"That's great."
Her pupils turned blue. She wanted to determine its value through [Valuation of All Things].
'Hmm, it's useful...'
Imdiately, the value of that item might have been low, but its potential for growth was extrely high.
In other words, it ant that the value of the technology itself, called "Alchemy and Magical Engineering," was very high.
"There's a video recording of practical battles by mages utilizing such items. Would you like to see it too?"
"That sounds interesting."
She touched her pointed ears and looked at the video with great interest in her eyes.
As Jeliel was also a High Elf and currently attending the Astral Flower Magic Academy, she couldn't help but be interested in battles of mage warriors.
Among those videos, one stood out remarkably.
"This is..."
"Ah, yes. It seems that Baek Yu-Seol, one of the leading figures in Alchemy and Magical Engineering, personally recorded the experintal footage. I heard that he fought against a second-year senior using only items..."
"Let's watch this one first."
Jeliel pressed the play button on the video playback crystal.
Then, a rectangular barrier appeared in the air, and the video started playing.
And at that mont, a boy with black hair and black eyes appeared.
'...Huh?'
And instantly, Jeliel doubted her own eyes.
'What is this...?'
No matter what, even if sothing was recorded in the video, her ability [Valuation of All Things] could not escape it.
Therefore, Baek Yu-Seol's value could not help but be captured by Jeliel's eyes.
But...
[???]
His value was not visible.
'This doesn't make sense... In this world, there should be no one else besides Father whose value can't be gauged by . When even [Valuation of All Things] cannot grasp the target, there are only two possibilities.'
The target was either soone the subject loved or soone who possessed an unknown value that couldn't be asured by her own analytical skills.
'Is he soone with an imasurable value?'
No person or object could escape her gaze. Even ancient artifacts and treasures, all had value in Jellyel's eyes.
Even the Emperor of the Scalben Empire and the King of Adolveit, they all appeared to have value in Jeliel's eyes.
But, to think that the re student of Stella's could not be recognized for his value...
When an ignorant person encounters sothing they do not understand, they feel curiosity. It is the natural truth that exists for unknown things.
However, when soone who thought they understood everything in the world encountered sothing they couldn't comprehend, they felt fear.
Because it should not exist in this world.
That was why Jeliel felt fear.
"Jeliel? Are you okay?"
"Yes, yes...?"
It was belatedly that she realized she was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. She quickly wiped away the sweat with a handkerchief and forced a smile.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"... If you're in pain, please let know."
"I'm really fine, so don't worry."
Jeliel slowly cald her mind.
Yes, she felt fear at first when encountering sothing unfamiliar... but if she slowly unraveled it, it would be fine.
Curiosity.
Yes, once the emotion of fear completely vanished, Jeliel felt curiosity for the first ti in her life. The desire to uncover sothing unknown to her.
It was a very... unfamiliar feeling for Jeliel.
Since Baek Yu-Seol ntioned that he would hold an investor presentation soon, she could et him in person.
'... At that ti, I'll uncover your true identity.'
A strange excitent stirred in her heart.
