Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Strongest Sage, Restores

–A while after the match .

After getting the cooperation of First Academy students, the work to create materials for the great capital barrier is going well .

Their skill level isn't high at all, their strength lies in number .

The First Academy students are doing the simple parts like the initial phase of the refining while being supervised by the Second Academy, so the processed materials are piling up .

Students whose crests weren't of Glory Crest and had nothing to do until the match also became quite busy ever since the number of students with Glory Crest suddenly exploded .

"Yup . We're progressing nicely . "

"I thought the First Academy's education would take some time, but they might become battle ready faster than expected . "

Principal Edward nodded satisfyingly .

It's probably thanks to the teachers' guidance and the result of stir in the match back then .

Though, it might also partly because of Ruli demonstrating the merit of chantless magic by having to be their first opponent in their first lesson .

"By the by . "

Principal Edward stopped there and stared at me with a serious look .

Did anything happen .

"What's the matter?"

"You remember how Feycas was when he appeared in the match day back then?"

Ah . About Feycas huh .

The principal might be suspecting that he was being brainwashed by the demons .

But that's just a needless fear . I had assumed that much and investigated him with magic already .

"Ah . That Feycas was simply a fool . It's not like he was brainwashed–"

"I got that already . The problem is . . . Er . . . Not the inside of his head, but the surface . "

The surface of . . . his head?

Was there something on Feycas's head .

. . . Ah .

"Are you talking about his hair . "

That might have seemed odd indeed .

He went bald overnight because of 【Hair Root Extinction】 after all .

"Right . Mathias, you said that it was due to stress, but perhaps, his baldness was caused by your magic?"

"Who knows . "

I dodged the question .

Even in my past life, 【Hair Root Extinction】 was treated as one of the forbidden magic at one time because of how inhuman it was .

It was liberated from being a forbidden magic since a magic that could easily reverse the effect got developed, but it's still not a magic with good image .

"No, I'm not going to pry into that point . . . . But what if, just what if okay? If that was Mathias's magic . . . Doesn't that mean it's also possible to grow hair instead of losing?"

. . . Ah . That's it huh .

Principal Edward is getting long in the tooth after all .

" . . . You owe me one . "

"Understood!"

I put 【Root Hair Restoration】 magic on principal Edward who instantly replied .

Since it has to wait for the hair to naturally grow, the effect won't be instant like 【Hair Root Extinction】, but it should be obvious after a while .

It's possible to make his hair instantly grow with other magic, but that will look unnatural .

"I've put the magic on you . It should show its effect in a few months time . "

" . . . My gratitude . "

Perhaps this magic could bring me profit .

Well, I'm loaded with money so I'm not going to make a business out of this magic though .

Well, leaving aside the principal's hair, our problem is the barrier .

" . . . The pace has increased, but we still don't know whether we will make it in time or not . . . "
