-682- Just watch

In the corridor of the medical department, which was previously brightly lit, the situation turned into complete darkness.

Due to the recent conflict, not only had the glass shattered, but all the surrounding lights were also broken, plunging the area into darkness. Only the moonlight from outside provided a faint glimmer of visibility.

Under the moonlight, Bronson's demeanor changed dramatically from his earlier gentlemanly appearance. He had an unpleasant expression, and his body continued to emanate a disturbing magical aura.

"I must be getting old if I let that brat bully me like that," Bronson remarked with a cold and displeased tone, his expression grim, and his magical energy constantly surging.

Feeling the oppressive magical power, Loki couldn't help but shiver and lowered his head.

"I'm truly sorry, Father," Loki said softly. "I couldn't break through that automaton and stop the rampage of 'Fimbulvetr's Winter'."

It was evident that Loki was familiar with Rozen. Bronson was no exception.

"Don't blame yourself. I didn't expect that kid to suddenly attack me," Bronson sighed deeply and managed to suppress his emotions. He spoke calmly.

"Besides, his abilities are quite formidable. Despite the element of surprise, the fact that he could launch such a close-range attack without me detecting it in time, unless he had seized the best moment and the shortest path for his attack, that would be impossible."

Bronson said it like this.

"This should be the ability brought by the 'Mind's Eye,'" Bronson saw through this point.

"As mentioned in the reports, the second-ranked person has indeed reached the pinnacle of a Magus's abilities. A truly exceptional talent."

In this regard, Bronson had to admit that.

After all, in the previous Night Party, puppeteers who achieved the level of "Mind's Eye" often managed to claim the throne of the Wiseman successfully.

In fact, in several Night Party, no one had reached the heights of the "Mind's Eye" level. This highlighted how challenging it was to attain the pinnacle of a Magus's abilities.

Bronson, who was once the person closest to the throne of the Wiseman, was defeated by an opponent who had mastered the "Mind's Eye." As a result, he had been researching this ability for years, but due to his divided focus on work and research, he had yet to achieve this level.

Therefore, seeing Rozen use the "Mind's Eye" ability against him, Bronson's mood naturally plummeted.

"Be careful, my proud son," Bronson turned and addressed Loki without looking back. "Winning this Night Party won't be an easy task anymore."

Loki didn't offer any rebuttal. Indeed, Loki was also an exceptional talent, which was why he was regarded as someone who could rival Magnus.

However, in terms of the stage of a Magus, Loki had currently only comprehended the sixth step of the "Heaven's Eye." He hadn't even fully grasped "Magic Resilience" yet, making it distant for him to reach the "Mind's Eye" level at this point.

On the other hand, in this Night Party, not only had Rozen mastered the "Mind's Eye," but even Magnus had also attained the "Mind's Eye" ability.

Although being at a higher stage as a Magus didn't necessarily mean being stronger, it definitely implied substantial power.

The reason Loki was hailed as someone who could rival Magnus was that he had mastered a unique technique. With that technique, people believed Loki wouldn't lose to Magnus.

Of course, that was referring to the previous Magnus. Since Magnus revealed the secrets of the "Crimson Wing Formation," both Loki and Veyron had started to be doubted regarding their ability to compete with him.

Thinking about defeating someone like Magnus? Except for Rozen, within this academy, there was hardly anyone who remained that confident. Loki included.

"You don't need to worry," Bronson's tone softened, and he continued, "There's still a long time before you face them. With your abilities, you'll undoubtedly master 'Magic Resilience' by then. As for the 'Mind's Eye,' it's a matter of destiny. Perhaps you'll comprehend it, and perhaps you won't."

This "Mind's Eye" was indeed a unique state of being. If you reached it, you suddenly gained the ability. However, if you couldn't comprehend it, even a lifetime of effort wouldn't make a difference.

Rozen had spent more than ten years to fully understand this ability. In contrast, Akabane Tenzen had reached it in just two years. This illustrated the special nature of the "Mind's Eye." It wasn't about talent but rather a matter of mindset.

It was precisely because of this that Rozen had several transformations later on, combined with the amplification of Gyokuto, which elevated the "Mind's Eye" to unprecedented heights.

As a result, no matter who they were, even ordinary people, had the potential to suddenly have a great awakening and comprehend the power of the "Mind's Eye."

Loki silently nodded and then asked, "Should we deal with 'Fimbulvetr's Winter'? He seems intent on obstructing Father's actions."

"Let's not concern ourselves with him," Bronson replied coldly. "He will realize how overconfident he is."

As the leader of a faction capable of manipulating even the Council members, Bronson wouldn't let the intimidation of a mere student unsettle him.

"Now, let's go see Frey," Bronson said.

However, it's just...

"I didn't expect to witness Frey's Machinart Heart going berserk on the first night of the Night Party. I thought it would take some time, that we'd have to corner Frey to officially test the Machinart Heart's effectiveness," Bronson casually commented, and his words revealed a chilling indifference that was downright unsettling.

"Now, let's go see Frey, get her out of there, and make sure the academy doesn't discover the secret of Frey's Machinart Heart," Bronson instructed Loki in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Yes," Loki replied with a nod, lowering his head to oblige.

However, Loki's fists were clenched tightly, almost imperceptibly.

On the other side of the story...

After emerging from the Medical Department building, Hinowa, Charl, Subaru, Mutsura, Sigmund, and others caught up to Rozen and Yaya, who were walking ahead.

"Rozen-sama!"

"Wait for us!"

Hinowa and Charl called out to Rozen, who subsequently halted, turned around, and looked at the approaching group.

Once they caught up, Charl launched straight into the conversation.

"Are you really planning to oppose the 'Divine Works'?" she asked.

"What's the issue with that?" Rozen responded nonchalantly.

This prompted Subaru and Yuge to chime in.

"Have you thought it through?" Subaru frowned deeply. "That's a faction whose power even use the council's power. Can you handle it on your own?"

"Though you're indeed very skilled," Mutsura scratched his head, "your opponents aren't ordinary either."

"Exactly, Rozen-sama," Hinowa said with seriousness. "Why don't we look for another way from our side, like sending some people to investigate evidence against the 'Divine Works'?"

The group brainstormed for ideas to support Rozen.

"No need," Rozen shook his head, offering only this concise response. "I have a plan. Just watch."

With that, the discussion came to an end.

Observing Rozen's determined gaze, the group could only nod in agreement.
