One of the school buildings of the Magic University branch was an experimental building dedicated to the dean.

Within three floors, up to the second floor, is a magic warehouse and laboratory, with one floor on the third floor as an office room.

In that clerk's office, Mel sat at the desk, as usual, receiving many of the reports that would come from the pioneering city.

It's just that this time, I brought a report, not from a subordinate in a branch school.

"Dean, this will be a report issued by the Global Alliance -"

"Yeah, I get it. This time, too, you brought it to me by Yurika. Thanks."

He was my own godchild and now he was the president of one of the best companies in the pioneering city.

"That's right. If it wasn't for this opportunity, I wouldn't be able to see the Dean inside right now, not as a student."

"I don't think it would be a problem for you to make a formal appointment."

Yurica is a leading player in the city company. Sometimes I'm a graduate of this school, and I think I'll be able to meet him.

"No. You can't squeeze the dean's schedule. The active students will also want to talk to the dean. It's not a good idea for me, a graduate, to take that opportunity too far. … For that matter, I'm going to talk plenty if I get a chance to do these kind of reporting jobs."

chuckling and smiling, Yurika says.

She continued to bring information materials to herself from the point where she said she had a deep connection to both the guild and the school. On the face of it, it takes the form of a request from the Alliance to deliver a report.

It's not the kind of job Yurika would do, but she's doing it because she wants to do it herself.

... Well, because it's an opportunity, if there are any good students, they're good offices with the company, or vice versa, if there are any kids in the company who seem to have magical qualities, they're bringing them to school.

It's mutually beneficial in that sense. Hey, I was looking through the report.

"Yeah? I don't know what's going on, Yurica. You're staring at me."

From earlier on, Yurika's gaze kept turning this way.

I wondered if there was anything you wanted to say, and when I asked, Yurika was smiling so lightly,

"Oh, no. As always, the dean's hair is firm and beautiful, he said. Sometimes the dean draws the blood of the jewellery system... just like when I was a student, I couldn't help but want to touch it."

To her words, Mel smiles too.

That's what I heard when I was a student.

"Hehe, I'm glad you complimented me.... but not yet? It's very special for me to touch my hair when I'm drawing gem blood."

That being said, hey, and Yurica's smile turned into a bitter smile.

"Jewelers... long ago, you were a clan that interacted with a Fae. Sure, because magic resides in your hair, you shouldn't let it touch you."

"Yes. You can only let someone you admit touch you. You have that kind of tradition and protection."

"You have protective magic hanging on your hair. Avoid even if normal people try to touch it, and they say if you force them to go touch it, they'll play it. Because of that, I've heard that very few people have ever been touched by Dean Mel's hair."

Yeah, and Mel touches her own hair.

Although the appearance is no different from that of a normal person, magic accumulates in every single one of them, and thanks to this, magic can continue to be used for longer than a normal person.

And the only person who can break through the protective magic that hangs on this hair is someone with a stronger magic than myself, and the only person who has forgiven his heart.

"More alchemy magic arms need to be raised for Yurika to touch, you know. Even my hundred heroes won't touch me inside."

"Right. Very refined......! 」

As she talks to the public like that, Mel proceeds to confirm the reports she receives from Yurika.

Basically, there's information on what went wrong around the city and what kind of requests the Global Alliance made.

… When the city receives an important request regarding defense and security, the school side provides the city with investigative information by magic equipment. Instead, the city's guilds also began to provide information to the school, and that's where it goes, isn't it?

Not before the war with the demon gods, it's a system of mutual cooperation that I've created since I came to this school. This makes it easier to work with the city to keep the neighborhood safe. However,

"Still need improvement, right?"

Mel exhales as she looks at the report.

"Sounds like the information from the school side to the guild turned around late this time.... I've been contacted about a lot of strange magic gathering at the Superior Spirit's place, after the request was activated, and it says so.... There are times when a Nest of Warcraft has been formed on the path we normally use, and the liaison crew traveled around, so we couldn't communicate it smoothly... We could have prevented this irregular a little earlier."

There's nothing wrong with who, and if I insist, I was just unlucky. Without her, Mel thinks.

"Right...... Seems like there are quite a few things you can start before the school liaison arrives in case of a rush request. There is no significant difference between the information from the school and the under-examination of the guild."

"… well, there are a lot of important and urgent requests to come to both the school and the city"

And for the most part, such projects have a huge impact on human life and property, and I know what you want to do quickly. More importantly,

"If the Warcraft is a little stronger than expected, or a little more irregular, you can solve it with strength. For once, I want to make sure that the city and the school work together..."

There are magic artifacts in the school that can observe magic and magic artifacts that can be used. With that magic prop, I can find out if there's an odd magic reaction at the requested point.

... the information the Alliance scouts examine will do enough of the job itself, right?

School-side information can sometimes be a no push for safety checks.

So, in the case of a rush request, I also know what you want to do quickly.

It takes time to get information around, and most importantly, we're doing something new as a mechanism.

... people are more and more innovated year after year, both in their use and in the way they do their work, but some people are not used to that innovation, naturally.

For this reason, there are times when a mess occurs and new mechanisms cannot be utilized.

I don't usually have a problem with that, but from time to time, people are exposed to danger by these irregulars.

The report says the seriously injured nashi, and although I think he was lucky this time around, I don't think Mel would prefer a valuable professional to be injured.

"The tools and systems that hundreds of heroes have come up with, including the dean, are very useful and helpful things... but they are still new. We're going to need a lot of time before we can all use it. Sometimes they don't think that time is right."

"That's right. It's convenient, but if you change it too much from the old system, it's something that really doesn't come out in time."

That's how this information sharing works.

Still, it cannot be said that efficient operations are fully in place.

… though life is rapidly enriching as a result of the great changes and developments that I and my peers have undergone in the world. In the end, there's a part of me that needs to take time.

They're all trying to adapt, though it's coming through.

Until we get used to it around here, it's still going to take a while. and so on.

"Still, life itself is easier and safer thanks to the deans. The things that the dean and his teachers have produced have been very helpful to us."

Guess what this one thinks, Yurika gave me the words to follow.

"Hehe, thank you for saying that.... Well, it's not so much the power of the master who taught us that we created it."

"Really? 」

"Yeah. Most of what I did was talk to my master back in the day when I was a disciple. My master taught me the importance of sharing information."

Thank you so much for your help, Mel spills words as she remembers once.

"That's about the masters of the heroes you talked about as a student, isn't it? It wasn't just magic, it was taught like that."

"That's right. I've really learned a lot. I'm doing the Dean now because I have a model called Master."

"Are you the one who became a model for the dean? Ah. I'd love to."

To Yuri's words, Mel laughs bitterly.

"Hey. I miss you, too. Really."

Because the war with the demon gods is over and I haven't seen him in forever.

That way, I get a slight loneliness,

... Well, it's time for work now. We need to focus on that...

and proceeds to read the second half of the report to undo the loneliness. That's the time.

The upside down part of this case caught my eye.

"... that. Hold on, Yurica. This is yesterday's report on the simultaneous episode of Qi and Spirit... you're not mistaken, are you? 」

"Huh? 」

"It says, 'Not only did the c-rank professor defeat the annoying Warcraft, but he got rid of the advanced Spirit'..."

"It contains the Alliance's magic stamp, and it was received from an Alliance official, so I don't think there's any mistake..."

"Uh... but what do you mean? It's not the work of a C-rank spiritualist... if I don't get the top of the school guard unit, it's something I can't deal with..."

This is particularly true of this request and so on.

It's not a case of letting a C-rank person go, and it's a lucky level of difficulty that the seriously injured person needs to be zero.

... C-rank equivalent magic, although it is certainly not insulting...

For example, speaking of the students here, they would be strong at a level where there are only the top few percent.

But it is the advanced spirits who can say that such a few percent of the population is no match for a bunch.

About that time, the different cultures, the different words, the species that come from different worlds are powerful. Yet,

"The C-rank guy solved it..."

"Speaking of which, your men were talking today, too. He kind of left the senior spirits, he's an awesome spiritualist, or some magical profession showed up - or something. There were rumors."

"I see...... Well, then you must have some amazing skills or magic equipment."

Rank is only a measure of magic, and it doesn't represent all of strength and talent. Not necessarily solved in pure combat.

… then I guess I'll need to go to the city later.

I want to hear about that time, and if you're an excellent person, you have to get to know him.

Mel moves on to his next thought after recording in his head what needs to be done in the near future.

Yes. The important thing is not just the presence of valuable people or spirit-related people.

"... the cause of the activities of the advanced spirits - to pay attention to the massive growth of horndomoles due to exasperation. You had more warcraft in your temper..."

Rather, it is this information that is urgent and should be taken care of immediately.

"Not really, a mass outbreak of Warcraft can't be a good thing, but a horn mall? … more troublesome stuff again."

"Because those rats have an unusual fertility and omnivorous appetite that increases in dozens of units, they devour the area. The ingredients of alchemy are diminishing at once."

Yurika said with a frown. That's all the more troublesome warcraft for me. I know how you feel. Besides,

"... the bad news is that grown individuals enter the territory of other warcraft and scatter their food."

"Because such warcraft travel in search of food, it also increases the dangers we encounter, right?"

"That's right. So even after the crusade of the Horn Mall itself, we need to be careful."

Warcraft are varied in their edibility, but in the case of carnivorous warcraft, they tend to prefer and eat people with a high amount of magic. When I'm hungry, it's too much.

... a smart warcraft, using magic, but coming after humans.

Sometimes warcraft like that don't target places with too many people because they're smart.

"Whatever happens, we have to keep the information sharing between the city and the school closer. I'm pretty sure it's a scary time."

"- Ah. Then tomorrow or the day after, Guild perimeter survey information will come in, so I'll come to deliver it. So we'll talk about it again."

"Yeah. Right.... Totally, when something happy and nasty happens at the same time, it's hard to do a lot, but hey, keep an eye out"

"Copy that, Dean Mel!"
