Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

Unfortunately, being a True Celestial was not easy.

He had to possess the knowledge to manipulate things before he can learn to transform or change his body.

It means that during that time, being a craftsman was the best option. Not only will it give him enough experience, but he would also have more opportunities in gathering resources for his true goal.

He has a difficult goal so he needs to be patient.

And although he was a renowned Magic Craftsman now, his aim had never changed.

Luckily, he was given an opportunity to experience a part of the True Celestial's ability that allows him to extend his sense. It was his Divine Sense…

Although the Pathfinder wasn't just giving it to him, he could understand that it needed to be a form of reward… After all, he later learned that this technology itself was made by the Royal Mayans to mold their young ones. 

As a matter of fact, even though his level of access during that time was only at the Knight-Level, it was still very generous.

[ The Mana-Based Observers had successfully evaded the counter forcefield that the Empire used to destroy our first observers. ] 

Ace's thoughts were interrupted by Avalon's sudden report… 

"Very good… Right, give me an update about Hilda's team…"

***

Hilda remained on her Radiant Knight's cockpit as this is the place that calms her the most. A while ago, she saw the 10 or so Arians boarding a special container that was recently built in their spaceship.

Apparently, this container would provide safety to them once they entered the Earth's atmosphere. 

She was still curious about Wallace's word before they departed but she had to focus on her current mission.

Time has passed and the Excellence docked at Mt. Ravencroft… There was no accident as they safely returned to Earth…

However, there is only one problem…

"Whew… Gravity is back!"

Hilda heard her fellow pilots from the intercom. Although there is artificial gravity in the Moon Base and even at the Omen, the gravity on this world was also different…

"Ahh… I can feel it! Fresh Mana! I love it!"

"Whoa! That's true! Finally! I want to get out to completely feel it!" 

"Leader! Can we go outside!" One of the pilots suggested. Replenishing their mana through Mana Stones is completely different from refilling it through the ever-present Mana of this world.

Although the purity of mana in those stones was incredibly high, the feeling of taking in the fresh mana of the world was something that no one could compare of.

"NO! Stay in your Mech Knights!"

Hilda shouted to the excited pilots… Of course, she knows that they are only joking around but she still felt worried.

They still have the mission of safely moving the Arians to a specific area that Avalon has prepared. 

It is also extremely important…

After all, every magician in outer space had developed some fondness for these gentle foreign beings…

They taught him various things about technology, language, and some of them even luckily learned technology about advanced guns...

Well, this was because some of them felt like treating them as NPC that would give them rewards if they befriended them…

It was quite scary how good these magicians are in terms of adapting to new things. 

"Enough of that… Let the crew handle the Excellence's maintenance and restocking of supplies… We'll do our work…"

[ Hilda. The transportation has been prepared. Take care! ] 

"Oh… Avalon! Thanks for all the preparation. I'll handle everything here from now on. ] 

[ Good! Yumi will be at the location where the Arians will be diagnosed, ask her if you have further concerns. ] 

After Avalon ended their conversation, Hilda glanced at the container where the Arians are currently staying at…

She was unsure what kind of experimentation will they undergo but as Wallace explained before, this is for the benefit of humanity…

Their assistance would give them enough preparation in case the Empire's Army would truly arrive here…

"Hey… Wallace, what are you looking at?" Slaine asked the young man that was looking in a certain direction. 

It was as if he was trying to see something beyond the horizon.

However, before Wallace could answer, the Celestial Being hiding inside one of the Aeolia's facility had suddenly shown up…

"What's that?" They heard the being's voice directly to their minds. 

They clenched their teeth as they endure the destructive presence of the Celestial.

"We're getting near to one of my facilities… You must've felt it…"

"What is that dangerous energy I'm detecting? Is it something you made?" The Celestial asked in confusion. 

"No, but I think it's something that my other self has collected… It's called Aether Force… It seems that he gathered quite a lot of them." Wallace smiled after saying this… 

He knows that his other self is a very capable person even without being a magician. He just proved him right and he's happy about it.

"Huh? What are you two talking about?" Slaine who was listening couldn't follow their conversation. 

He looked in the same direction but couldn't see anything notable…

Apparently, the one that Wallace used to sense something isn't just a simple Divine Sense but an evolved version after the Celestial Being allowed him to get a strand of his energy…

In truth, his Astral Core is also evolving due to the celestial's presence… He benefited a lot more than anyone could think of…

Finally, after a few discussions with the Celestial Being, Wallace was now allowed to move around… 

He no longer had to stay within the floating islands as long as he gave a bit of Aether Force as an offering…

***

Ace suddenly received a call after he confirmed from Hilda that everything was going according to plan...

He looked at the name and realized that he's someone that is now helping him and Veda.

"Do you want them to board the Excellence and help you up there?" Chester Cornfield asked. He's the one in charge of handling the magicians who were injected by the perfected Cryptic Link Serum…

"As long as you're confident that they can follow orders and in the right mind… Then send them here." Ace answered as he smiled widely after learning that their offensive force is about to increase again.
