Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Wallace had previously fought against this person when he was still quite weak. 

During that time, he has to avoid front confrontation as much as possible since this person\'s Mana Spells and even his amount of mana is completely on a different level.

Without the abilities provided by his Pathfinder during that time, he would not be able to save himself at all.

"It has been a while… I\'ve never thought that we will be battling together for our planet\'s survival." 

Chalice still has his deep voice and cold aura as he greeted Wallace. 

"That\'s true. I heard that you went to explore the Northern Continent. I wonder what happened to you there. I can feel that you have gotten a lot stronger."

Wallace replied. He could tell that the man\'s power is well hidden. He is showing the strength of a normal Sage based on his mana capacity and control but in truth, Wallace knows that he\'s at the same level as the Grand Sages here. 

He shouldn\'t be capable of having that strength in such a short amount of time unless he found some treasures or had lucky encounters in the Northern Continent.

"Haha! After seeing such technology that is not possible in this current era, who wouldn\'t get curious about that? I can only think that it\'s related to the rumors in that continent. And you\'re right, I benefited a lot thanks to my curiosity."

Chalice said as he even briefly showed his Mana Shell to him. It only happened for about three seconds but Wallace could tell the changes on his level.

It was this person who had opened his eyes to make changes in the current Mana Spells that are existing instead of just focusing on creating an original one.

Chalice\'s Mana Shell is the first mutated spell he had seen that was several times stronger even though he\'s only using the same amount of mana. 

Apparently, it was all about the technique and method of how to manipulate the mana. 

After Wallace acknowledged that the man in front of him had truly gotten stronger, he asked him if there\'s anything he could help with... He\'s sure that Chalice wouldn\'t just greet him to boast about his powers now. 

"Well… Although I know that it might not be the right time to discuss this, I want a reward after this war. In exchange, the higher-ups of the Z-Company inlcuding our battalion of Cryptic Mages would fight to the death. We are planning to use several forbidden spells after all. Even if we have immunity to it, we will weaken a lot and will become an easy target after. I\'m sure that many of us would perish after this."

Chalice said calmly but Wallace could tell that there\'s more to it.

He is indeed ready to die in this battle which also made Wallace very curious. It is quite impressive that the previous terrorist-like organization would actually be willing to sacrifice so much for the planet. 

"I can feel your sincerity. Tell me what kind of rewards are you looking for." Wallace asked.

Chalice took a deep breath as he looked at the man with a serious face. 

"I want to explore the galaxy, the outer space. I have managed to get a level 5 Authority on Veda\'s Database and learned a lot about these Aliens that are attacking us. It\'s incredible to think that there are other worlds aside from ours. So I want to explore them…"

"You want to leave this planet? Alright… However, you have to survive first." 

Wallace answered after thinking for a moment. Anyway, it is not that hard to sell them an independent A.I. based on Avalon\'s system and of course, a few Spaceships shouldn\'t be that expensive for this underworld organization.

They should be quite rich considering that their whole organization is deeply rooted in the eight different nations of the southern continent. 

"If I really can\'t survive, then my relatives or even my son would be happy to continue our wish... This is all something that our members had agreed on."

Chalice answered with confidence in his words. 

"I wonder… What made you and your members think like this?" Wallace asked as he looked at the transatmospheric battleships that started docking not too far from the city. It seems that they are letting the Mech Knights board them for transportation purposes. 

On the other hand, Chalice didn\'t answer immediately as he carefully choose his words.

"The Z-Company is made to reach the peak of our existence… This is why we did our best to create the Serum that evolves the magicians. However, discovering something new is still the dream of many of us. Wouldn\'t exploring other worlds be the best feat that our race could do?"

Wallace only smiled wryly as he didn\'t really want to think too much of this at this time. After all, it is not that easy to travel in space. Perhaps, he would have to create another virtual game for that and let them play it for a couple of years before allowing them to travel.

"Fine… Let\'s talk about it after finishing this war."

Ace said as he started completing the arrangements to ensure that there wouldn\'t be any problems with the chain of commands.

After several hours had passed when he\'s ready to consult Ace to start the war, he was reminded that they only have five doctors with them!

Their numbers reach tens of thousands and they only have four doctors that could help them? That number is too low! They needed to have a large medical facility with many doctors in this kind of war. If not, many of the magicians that can be saved would most likely die instead. 

Wallace and everyone else wouldn\'t want that to happen.

[ Most of the doctors are currently residing at the Floating Island. ] 

Avalon suddenly informed him before he could even ask. 

"I see… Ace, what do you think about the doctors. I heard that we are lacking." Wallace asked. He is currently inside Trance and is checking the Lucent Knights and their Golden Knight. 

He was only informed about the lack of doctors by one of the pilots working here. 

"Ahh… I indeed noticed that. I already asked Veda for assistance."

"Will it be that A.I.\'s machines?"

"That\'s correct. However, there would be about five Apprentices that will assist the machines so there is nothing to worry about. We will basically have a floating Medical Facility since I asked Madoka for help as well." 

Ace immediately answered as soon as he received Wallace\'s call.

Finally, after several more hours had passed, their troop now started marching towards Gawain where the Imperial Flagship is located!
