It wasn't as if I could explain this since I didn't understand why they were like this as well.
No, it wasn't that I didn't understand, it was just that I had no way of explaining it.
This was just the fervor that these people seed to have towards the pure and dense mana that I had.
In a sense, I was a specin that caught their attention and they gathered around .
So even if I did explain it, it wasn't as if it was that easy to explain.
At least they didn't do anything that was considered overboard.
…
"It's ti for a class trip." The Azure Sage said after we arrived at the magic academy.
It had already been a week since we enrolled in the magic academy.
During this ti, we had gone to our classes as per usual and had learned quite a bit of magic knowledge from the Sorcery Empire.
It even felt like we were reaching the end of this exchange program.
After all, it didn't seem like there was anything else that was left for us to learn.
The things that we could learn after this was all a bunch of magic knowledge that was too complicated to pick up simply. It was the research that even confused the magicians of the Sorcery Empire.
This was the kind of research that would take a lifeti to co up with so kind of breakthrough.
So it definitely was not sothing that we could get ourselves involved in long term.
Since that was the case, it seed like we had reached the limit of this magic exchange and it should have been ti to head back.
But that was when the Azure Sage suddenly ca to announce this.
It was as if he recognized that we would be leaving soon, so he was doing this one thing to stop us from leaving.
However, even if it did seem tempting, it wasn't as if I would be moved that easily.
At the sa ti, it wasn't as if there was anything to gain from going on this school trip.
Or that was what I thought until I heard what the Azure Sage had to say.
"The trip will be taking place in these ruins that were left behind by an ancient society."
I couldn't help looking at the Azure Sage with a strange look when he finished saying this, but he just looked back at with a smile on his face as if he wasn't bothered at all by the way that I was looking at him.
In fact, it even seed like he was a bit smug as he looked at with this smile.
It was as if he had expected this reaction from .
I was a bit annoyed seeing him like this, but I had to admit that what he said did move a bit.
Especially since it was a set of ruins that had been left behind by an ancient society.
I had never heard of this ancient society before, but it wasn't as if the Azure Sage would lie about sothing like this. There was even a part of that was wondering sothing about this ancient society.
As if he could see the look of thought that was on my face, the Azure Sage said, "That's right. The founders of the Sorcery Empire found so notes from the ancient society in those ruins and that was what allowed them to reach the level of sages. In a sense, this is where our Sorcery Empire ca from."
I couldn't help looking at the Azure Sage with a very strange look when he said this.
Though I had my doubts, I didn't think that he would actually confirm it like this.
In fact, the fact that he had admitted this basically guaranteed that this was the case.
After all, this kind of thing was very easy to verify and going to the ruins would expose everything. So it wasn't as if he would tell this kind of lie that would be that easy to expose just to trick us into going to the ruins.
So far, nothing had ruined the relationship between us and we had gotten closer because of what happened in the magic academy.
It wouldn't be worth it for him to lie just to trick us to go to these ruins.
But that also ant that there was sothing else that was the problem.
This should clearly be a secret for the Sorcery Empire since this was sothing that was related to the very foundation of the Sorcery Empire. For him to reveal sothing like this, it was almost as if he was going against the Sorcery Empire itself.
That ant that he should have so kind of ulterior motive for doing this.
Did this an that he was trying to lure into so kind of trap?
Or did it an that the Sorcery Empire had already gotten everything that they wanted out of these ruins, which was why they were allowing us to enter these ruins?
There were just too many things that didn't seem to make sense with the Azure Sage proposing sothing like this. At the sa ti, it wasn't as if I would be able to figure anything out by standing here.
Looking at the way that the Azure Sage looked at with that sa smile on his face annoyed , but…
"Alright, we'll go on this school trip."
The Azure Sage gave a nod with that sa smile as if he had already expected this before saying, "We'll arrange for your groups according to your classes."
"No, we'll be going together with no one else."
"This…is a bit inappropriate." The smile disappeared from the Azure Sage's face when he heard this.
Only I said, "Well, then I guess we won't be going on this trip."
The Azure Sage didn't say anything in response as I looked at him with a smile this ti.
In the end, he slowly gave a nod as if he was agreeing to my conditions.
It wasn't as if there was anything else that he could do at this point.
