Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku

Fully utilizing the vast premises, the Association Headquarters was built.

Paved road extending in a straight line to headquarters. There seemed to be a well-maintained garden on either side of it and a simple exercise area further behind.

Of course, Ars, who had stopped by at the time of construction, knows the majority of the site. The association headquarters are uniquely built, reminiscent of an old-time castle directly in front of it. Seven vertically stretching spires carry Babel just behind them, creating a majestic beauty that even makes you feel religious.

It is an architectural style like a kind of heritage. From the front, it is an image of a castle, but from the side, it is connected to a training facility or other exercise area, as well as to a building with training facilities. The structure itself gives an old impression, but the materials and technologies used are state-of-the-art.

The first thing you will notice will be a giant stone pillar directly in front of you. In the middle of a line of beautifully polished columns, there is a door with a large mouth open.

There were also many people in and out, but most of them were like magicians and officials.

There should have been a surge in the number of subscribers to magicians affiliated with the association, but I guess they have been able to deal with it in branches that have already been placed in various countries to some extent.

When you see Ars and Loki, there seems to be a considerable number of magicians in there because of the many who bow their heads. Whether it is from now on to receive a request or to report directly that the request has been fulfilled, in any case, the role itself is not just the control of the branch.

Naturally, the training of magicians will be as refined as that of the branch, and registration screening and scrutiny of the request should be carried out here.

It is a sight reminiscent of a mansion or palace as inhabited by the Führer.

Ars funded it, but naturally the countries also supported it financially, and it was thought that they were chewing one on this design as well. It's an artistic creation that seems to attract attention even if it's just touched.

"That's the kind of design the hard-headed guys are going to think about."

Ars, looking in awe, had been attacked by a difficult urge to enter.

"It feels artistic... can't it?

From Loki's eyes, this headquarters seems to be a passing score. There is no such thing as confidence in Ars if he is given good taste. Loki is much more focused and sensitive in aesthetic sensations such as art.

"Somehow, don't you feel like you're going to like old people?

"Yes? Al, who's the old man?

Loki's face, cleverly only creeping around her neck, was laughing - asking with a shady grin.

I felt like I stepped on something, it wouldn't be my fault. As for Ars, I can only see these artistic virtues to the extent that I thought the market was set after I had eaten the year.

Feeling signs that it's going to be long, Ars steps into headquarters sooner rather than later.

"Oh, that sounds just like it. I want to be disciplined, and I don't feel tough."

Seeing the reception and contact directly in front, Ars brought an exclamation. The receptionist basically seems to be in charge, with an electro-optical bulletin board behind it. What is shown is about the request.

With Ars and Loki in sight, the Association Headquarters Request Order Desk quieted down as if it had hit the water.

You can see a magician wearing a logo coat or stamp that shows an association magician even if he looks over. But perhaps those who are here are more like magicians than newcomers.

The training and experience gained at first sight only entailed such an atmosphere of mastery.

- That's quite a ranking.

The air feels good in the military. I have a different nervousness than respect for Ars.

In fact, the magicians gathered here are those who quickly understand how the association works. All association requests are scrutinized at headquarters. It's a lot of trustworthy requests, especially for outside world and military entanglement.

Requests that go through the review go from headquarters to each branch and are added to the request database at the same time.

The request is basically an early winner if the conditions are met. If a new request is added at headquarters, it will appear faster on the giant screen located at headquarters than it will be added to the list of requests that can be accessed from licenses, etc.

So if we wait here, we can order the request faster than anyone else.

In any case, it should be difficult to compete for orders because the majority of the Association Mages are scheduled to be dispatched to Balmes soon. Nevertheless, association magicians who are not graduate students are aggressive because they can also hope to improve their ranking by fulfilling the association's external requests.

Because of this, we can see at a glance that the magician who confirms the request directly at HQ is a strong man with outside experience.

Ars and Loki naturally looked around at the center of the main entrance hall. Not just magicians and clerks, but many of us here were just watching far away. I guess that's caused by Ars' leaking magic.

Even though it is necessary to perceive magic sensitively, there is no one who can be perceived as a natural sign without being a magician. Finally, we feel a difficult atmosphere coming close to us from our magic.

Of course, I can say it's because of Ars' eyesight and ranking on the edge.

"The association seems to be functioning well, too. Because of the Hydrange situation, I guess the association will have to work together."

That's what the outside world of Hydrange lightly crosses common sense. Ars, who crowns a single in the bend, says, so a magician who knows nothing will be bewildered like a newbie. And after a boring mistake like a rookie, you must die quickly.

That doesn't sneak up.

"I'm not going to talk about running the association, but I'm not going to pretend I don't see it."

Some verses went this way because they were visionary about being told a novel later by Ilyis.

"Al," said Ars, whose sleeve was pulled by Loki on the fence, turning her eyes in the direction she indicated.

"Hi, Ars, Mr. Loki."

The light-footed man took his hand over his head and shook it left and right violently. It's like finding the only acquaintance in an exotic land with relief.

And the gaze directed at him at the same time also showed that the interest had shifted.

The man in white is in his critical twenties and is old enough to hang on to his fingertips. I guess he's not the only one who sticks to age, of course. When it comes to researcher thinking, basically I don't have time at all, but it's a cliché.

Anyway, he's the guy who's been a lecturer at the Second Magic Academy since this fiscal year - his name is Craceman.

His face as an instructor is a tentative one, and he is a researcher just like Ars. Both Ars and Loki participated in the first lecture as a new tenure - wearing the same mask as a pervert.

Though confidential, Kreisman Teaching was also one of Babel's analytical teams as a young researcher. Since when has he not shaved, his beard was stretched around his mouth and hanging from his chin to his momiaghe.

Touching it is likely to make a noise with Joli.

"That's unusual. of the association, and I can't believe there's a Kreisman teaching at headquarters"

"No - I just thought it was a place that I had no edge on for the rest of my life, but I couldn't even say that inside. The class was also distracted by the chairman of the board, so as far as I'm concerned, it helped. In this case, Ars, I'm glad you're here."

As with Loki, who tilts his little neck, Ars also questions. It is inexplicable in itself that the Kreismann teaching, a lecturer and researcher, should come here in the first place.

You noticed that you were attracting the crowd, and Kreisman started guiding the two of them to move the place.

As he walked down the cobblestone aisle, Teaching Kreismann spoke with his lower back lurking.

"Actually, there's a story I'd like to put in Chairman Ilyis' ear, but there, you see, I only have the title of a teacher, and he turned me down. That's not exactly why the Babel project hasn't been made public, so we can't talk about it sooner. Als, where I was really in trouble, you were there."

Exactly. If there was a single magician under the sky, you wouldn't have thought they'd say no.

However, questions were still only raised.

"But if the heads of state are officially teaming up and hitting on the clarification, isn't it something that the Führer has already talked about?

"... ugh, ugh"

It was Loki who raised such a voice of doubt, and to her inquiry, Teaching Kreisman had made a tannic surface to cloud the words.

"No way. Without permission?

"Yes, no!! I can't afford such a godfearless place..."

It is almost certain. We tend to missee these dead lines, which should also be the hallmark of researchers. So is that, because researchers are the names of those who burn unusual obsessions in one thing.

I also hear that a researcher like him can be crushed on top of that achievement. I'm not sure it's true.

"Kreisman teaching, leaking information is only a case, it's a capital offense. And you're gonna tell me that."

"No, no, so no!? I'm reporting properly, and I'm getting permission. I told you because you're on our analysis team's list of reporters."

"... I thought that would happen"

There is no way that Ars, famous as a researcher, has not been added to the Babel elucidation. I thought the report was coming up somewhere. It was also Ars who stopped Babel from functioning in the first place and developed a third Babel. If so, it is extremely legitimate for the Führer and others to think that it would be useful for some kind of research, such as improving its functioning.

Cheap thoughts seem clear.

When that happens, Ars imagines and no need to imagine who's on that list and who's on it.

"I mean, does Ilyis have a name there, too"

Unh-unh, and Kreisman teaching shaking his neck vertically looked around once as if it would save him time.

It would be a confirmation that no one is listening. Regardless, if there was such a person, Loki would have already reported it.

"The only thing I advanced was what I found out at this stage, but shouldn't I report it, which is why I told you to go directly. Ars, I was thinking of reporting to you too, so it would be helpful if you could tell the chairman. I'm not very good at communicating, because I have a habit of sticking around and breaking it."

I don't think the college teacher has any ex-girlfriends, but Ars figured out how it feels to take them apart. Because I assemble the story on the assumption that I know, I keep my thoughts in my head mouth.

"I don't mind that, but can I walk?

"Hey, what are you talking about? I thought you said you couldn't talk."

"That's why. If we talk about it, nobody cares."

"It's just a report, but it's hysterical. I've never had a heart attack like this before."

"But don't give me unnecessary words,"

Kreisman Teaching had already scratched his sweat and used his nerves quite a bit. The game that was life-threatening would be his first experience in his life, not even a magician.

Loki is watching me in the first place to some extent, and even as we speak, Ars is going to turn his attention to the surroundings.

Although not an exceptional technique, there is no choice but to neglect the perception of these signs unless they are also military officials.

Ask Ars to understand that he is responsible for Loki, who probably shouldn't be on the list.

Exactly. The Führer and the others won't look at the problem either. She stopped Babel from functioning, too, because she's on the spot.

But Loki said aggressively, "Al, don't you know where Mr. Iris is is?" and threw the crucial question from behind.

Ars was going to ask for the location at the reception first.

"Mm-hmm. You're okay. Mostly great guys have a set market when they're high."

"I see, that's just great"

It's not a complimented story, but it's just something I never asked about, such as the fact that the Governor General or a man of high rank is on the ground floor. Alpha's military headquarters may also work on the upper floors as their status rises, and that's the kind of department they're placing in.

Find the stairs and decide to go up from there first.

"So, what's that report?

The Kreisman teachings became all the more whispered, and the shape of his mouth was unnaturally blurred and spinned small toward Ars.

"Underground exists in Babel. This was discovered right from the start of the investigation, but when I say underground, I don't mean that there will be any equipment, just that there were signs of interruption of the drilling work along the way. The dust is scattered underground."

- It should have been a research facility originally, and that's what I knew at the stage I went in. However, the main experiment, such as critical equipment, should have been upstairs......

Setting up an underground in the facility itself is not unnatural. Especially when it comes to outrageous research. A number of studies carried out by countries in the past were also carried out in invisible places.

Latifah, Krokel's sister, was the human pillar, and it was in the heart of Babel that it was being used. From the surrounding structure, the supply of magic is due to the fact that the center is most effective and easily ripples into the tower of Babel. Experimental compartments and the like should have been conducted on relatively upper floors.

There should have been no contact passage leading downstairs in the first place. Regardless, Ars knows little about Babel's internal structure, so he can't affirm that he doesn't.

"So?"

"This is where the problem starts. As a matter of fact, a huge underground tunnel was found in the process of removing piles of rubble that allegedly exited during the construction of the dust and babel. That'll be a week ago."

Until then, Ars' face, which he had listened to lightly as a chat, was directed for the first time to the Claysman teaching beside him. I wasn't surprised, I wasn't made known.

Babel's doubts, which have never been dispelled before, are now being assembled in the Ars.

My emotionless eyes didn't tell me anything.

Loki's shoulder, walking two or three steps back, is quickly perceiving and turning her worrying eyes toward Ars. It is Loki herself who has seen Ars's enthusiastic face, including many studies to date.

Slight habits are now familiar.

Unlike when it was a groundbreaking idea or when a thread of stuck research was found, it was a face that Ars would forsake from time to time by thinking too far ahead. They say, for example, that at the destination of research, things that are not beneficial, things that go in the wrong direction for people, and such research is often unknown at the first stage.

So research progresses, and at some point Ars calculates up to six months, a year away, when the research will bear fruit. The consequence is to desist. The feeling that too much concentration causes the thought itself to predict ahead independently, rather than conscious computation.

I can't even explain to Ars at this stage the materials that just put it in words, or the reasons enough to abandon the research. However, in his experience, even if he keeps going, he still has to cut the rudder of being forbidden when the numbers are available.

I guess Ars now predicted a poor result, almost in a form close to certainty.

Loki knew her eyes well enough to be cold. It's certainly the eye when we get to the results that we have to concentrate on and discontinue our research along the way. But that's similar to what Ars shows when he separates his mind, his emotions.

He had vain eyes that fuelled Loki's anxiety.
