At Crown's suggestion, we followed Aoi to visit each laboratory.
I could only see a future where the magicians of the Maple Leaf Holy Empire were thrown into chaos.
"Strass-san, aren't you going to stop her?" I asked Strass, who was walking ahead of .
He sighed and shook his head.
It didn't look like he had given up, but it also didn't look like he was going to stop Aoi.
While I was wondering what to do, Cote approached . "Eliza-sensei, Aoi-sensei's intention is to influence the magic of each country, right? In that case, it would be better to let Aoi-sensei do what she wants in the Maple Leaf Holy Empire to avoid conflicts later."
"Eh? But won't that definitely lead to a major incident…?" I asked worriedly.
After all, Aoi's magic level clearly surpassed that of other countries. This disparity in ability and knowledge would undoubtedly create a sense of crisis. I was even beginning to worry that assassins might co looking for her knowledge.
Cote nodded. "Of course, it will cause confusion and commotion. However, if we hold back here in the Maple Leaf Holy Empire and Aoi-sensei ends up teaching magic sowhere else in another Great Nation, an even bigger problem could arise. People will think that Aoi-sensei is reluctant to share her knowledge only with Maple Leaf. This may be interpreted as the will of Fiddiq Academy and the Verted Kingdom."
"Y-you an it could lead to a conflict between the countries…?"
The conversation expanded from issues within the magic community to conflicts between countries, further increasing my anxiety.
But Cote wasn't finished. "But that's not all. If magic is taught to the majority of the Great Nations while so are left out, there’s a risk of disrupting the balance of power. That could lead to wars involving multiple countries, or weaker countries could have their territories taken away…"
"N-no way…" I never thought that a serious situation could arise…
As I listened to Cote's explanation, I felt the blood drain from my face.
I hunched over, feeling my stomach ache from fear and tension, while Ayle and Shenley peeked out from behind Cote.
"Please don't bully Eliza-sensei."
"Aoi-sensei would never start a war."
They criticized and denied Cote's words.
He replied with a worried expression, "Really? At this rate, it's a very possible future."
Shenley shook her head firmly. "Aoi-sensei would never allow a war to happen. Even if a country tries to start a war, Aoi-sensei will help the opposing nation and stop it."
It was an absurd theory even for . That would an that Aoi had the power of a nation, but Cote remained silent.
Could it be that he thought it was worth considering?
No, sowhere in my heart, I also thought it was possible for Aoi.
However, only heroes who could defeat supre dragons single-handedly had that kind of power. And such heroes only existed in stories.
I looked at Cote's profile, but he was lost in thought, so I didn't think I would get an answer.
"Fire burns when there is combustible material, heat, and oxygen. The intensity of the fire is affected by the balance and amount of these elents. However, when activated by mana, this is not the case. By forcibly increasing the heat and supplying oxygen, you can create this…" Aoi explained while creating a blue pillar of fire that lted and destroyed the ceiling of the laboratory.
The fire magicians stood there with their eyes wide open.
Next, she demonstrated earth magic by creating a massive tower of rock, again destroying the laboratory ceiling. Then, using wind magic, she blew the entire laboratory away from the outside.
"The power of the wind is so great that the strongest tornadoes can destroy structures and even blow away dragons."
With this preface, Aoi explained how to increase the power of the wind, but the wind magicians didn't hear a word.
"… Aoi-dono can use all the elental magics?"
"You've seen it yourself, right?"
"No, it's just too unbelievable…"
Astonished voices sounded. Looking to the side, I saw researchers studying water, fire, and earth magic standing next to Strass.
So looked sympathetically at the wind mages, who remained motionless in shock.
It was understandable. In just one day, the very foundation of the magic they knew had been overturned.
There were few like Crown, who was clapping excitedly from behind. Most were in shock or awe.
"Now, let's go to the Healing Magic Laboratory," Crown announced loudly, causing a feeling of unease to sweep over.
For better or worse, the Maple Leaf Holy Empire's status as a Great Nation was due to its healing magic.
This last stronghold might be shattered.
The top magicians of Maple Leaf couldn't be blad for their fearful and anxious expressions.
I silently clasped my hands and prayed for a peaceful conclusion.
