Affairs

As she dispelled the illusion that she had placed the two mages under, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on 'Beatrice's', causing her to turn her attention to the unconscious child in her hands.

'D Grade Space Affinity, that's really quite impressive...' thought 'Beatrice' as she placed her fingers onto the forehead of the unconscious child.

Although usually, 'Beatrice' would not consider B Grade affinity as impressive in the slightest, with how rare Space Affinity actually was, and how low the affinities of the other children she had found were, she was still very impressed by the child in her hands, who now had the highest affinity of the group of children that she had captured.

If he had any other affinity, with his talent, this child might've been able to reach the Peak Apprentice Level if he was lucky, or even reach the True Mage Real if his luck was one in Ten Million.

Sadly though, 'Beatrice' knew that with his affinity, the child no longer had any sort of chance to achieve that goal of his, especially now that he would have Selena watching over him.

"It's quite a pity that I have to give you over to Teacher..." mumbled 'Beatrice' as she stared at the cute little boy in her hands with a smile on her face.

A few moments later, 'Beatrice' destroyed those weird thoughts of hers and suddenly rose into the sky and began flying away.

...

A while later, at one of 'Beatrice's' temporary hideouts.

As she stared at the group of seven unconscious children in front of her, which she had recently kidnapped, 'Beatrice' couldn't help but faintly smile.

"The Mage Academies have caught on to what teacher is doing, it looks as though this might be my last batch, It's a good thing the quality is quite good this time," mumbled 'Beatrice' as she snapped her fingers, causing the group of children to suddenly float in the air.

The eight children that 'Beatrice' kidnapped this time all had Space Affinities a bit higher than her previous group, having 5 F Grades, 2 E Grades, as well as 1 D Grade, which meant that 'Beatrice's' reward will be higher this time.

A few moments after picking up the Space Affinity children, 'Beatrice' flew out of the cave she had hidden them within and flew away.

This time though, 'Beatrice' did not actually fly very far away, instead the former clone flew to a certain location 13 kilometers away, where she once again landed to the ground before entering a cave.

The moment 'Beatrice' entered the cave, she stretched out one of her fingers to a certain spot on the stone wall, before sending out a bit of her mana into said wall.

After 'Beatrice' did this, the true nature of the cave finally revealed itself, causing a large, extremely complicated Spell Circle, which 'Beatrice' knew that her teacher could definitely not create on her own, to appear in the middle.

A moment after that, 'Beatrice', stepped into the circle, causing the children floating around her to follow suit.

A few seconds later, 'Beatrice', alongside the children, suddenly transformed into a flash of light, before suddenly disappearing.

...

As she opened her eyes and stared at her teacher, who was standing in front of her, 'Beatrice' couldn't help but slightly touch her forehead.

'It looks like I'll need some more time to get used to teleportation...' thought 'Beatrice' as she stared at Selena, who was standing right in front of her with a smile on her face.

"It looks like the number of children's increased this time, seven in one batch is quite good," said Selena as she stared at the seven children behind 'Beatrice', causing the latter to instinctually nod.

A moment after that though, 'Beatrice's' eyes suddenly widened, causing her to turn her attention onto the surrounding children, making her finally realize that one of the little girls was gone.

Seeing this, Selena faintly smiled.

"Don't worry about that, that little girl was a spy sent by the Mage Academies, and was caught by the defensive measures I've installed into my teleportation, I've already verified that It's nothing serious," said Selena with that same smile on her face, causing 'Beatrice' to feel a slightly chill in her heart.

...

As he stared at the enormous white sphere in front of him, Father couldn't help but shake his head.

"The Mage World is still not yet completely unsealed, there should be enough time for Gabriel to prepare the Wizards he gathered," mumbled Father as he shook his head, knowing that he could definitely not break the seal of the world.

Although as a True God, Father was unfathomably powerful, in front of this behemoth of a world, which had devoured countless other worlds, and made their strength its own, Father was still not powerful enough.

Perhaps back at his peak, before the split, Father would've been able to break open the seal, but right now, even if he and his other self worked together, the chances of the seal giving in were miniscule.

"Just a few more years..."

...

As she looked at her grandfather, who had just walked into the room, Sora Caedrel, who had just finished her training not too long ago, couldn't help but suddenly smile.

A moment later, the young girl, who had two rat ears on the top of her head, as well as a rat tail emerging from her back, disappeared, being replaced by a little white rat, who then immediately ran over to her grandfather, climbing on top of his shoulder.

Seeing this Jelnoth, who also had rat years at the top of his head, couldn't help but faintly smile.

"Sora, was the training tough?" asked Jelnoth as he sat down onto a couch, before taking out a small piece of cheese from his pocket and handing it to his granddaughter, who began munching on it as she talked.

"It's not tough in the slightest, but those humans are struggling a lot, they're really too stupid, as for me, I feel like I'm about to become a Rank 13 Wizard pretty soon," said Sora as she finished munching on the cheese, causing Jelnoth to faintly smile.
