Chapter 90
--A while after the match .
After getting the cooperation of First Academy students, the work to create materials for the great capital barrier is going well .
Their skill level isn't high at all, their strength lies in number .
The First Academy students are doing the simple parts like the initial phase of the refining while being supervised by the Second Academy, so the processed materials are piling up .
Students whose crests weren't of Glory Crest and had nothing to do until the match also became quite busy ever since the number of students with Glory Crest suddenly exploded .
"Yup . We're progressing nicely . "
"I thought the First Academy's education would take some time, but they might become battle ready faster than expected . "
Principal Edward nodded satisfyingly .
It's probably thanks to the teachers' guidance and the result of stir in the match back then .
"By the by . "
Principal Edward stopped there and stared at me with a serious look .
Did anything happen .
"What's the matter?"
"You remember how Feycas was when he appeared in the match day back then?"
Ah . About Feycas huh .
The principal might be suspecting that he was being brainwashed by the demons .
But that's just a needless fear . I had assumed that much and investigated him with magic already .
"Ah . That Feycas was simply a fool . It's not like he was brainwashed--"
"I got that already . The problem is . . . Er . . . Not the inside of his head, but the surface . "
The surface of . . . his head?
Was there something on Feycas's head .
. . . Ah .
"Are you talking about his hair . "
That might have seemed odd indeed .
He went bald overnight because of 【Hair Root Extinction】 after all .
"Right . Mathias, you said that it was due to stress, but perhaps, his baldness was caused by your magic?"
"Who knows . "
I dodged the question .
Even in my past life, 【Hair Root Extinction】 was treated as one of the forbidden magic at one time because of how inhuman it was .
It was liberated from being a forbidden magic since a magic that could easily reverse the effect got developed, but it's still not a magic with good image .
"No, I'm not going to pry into that point . . . . But what if, just what if okay? If that was Mathias's magic . . . Doesn't that mean it's also possible to grow hair instead of losing?"
. . . Ah . That's it huh .
Principal Edward is getting long in the tooth after all .
" . . . You owe me one . "
"Understood!"
I put 【Root Hair Restoration】 magic on principal Edward who instantly replied .
Since it has to wait for the hair to naturally grow, the effect won't be instant like 【Hair Root Extinction】, but it should be obvious after a while .
It's possible to make his hair instantly grow with other magic, but that will look unnatural .
"I've put the magic on you . It should show its effect in a few months time . "
" . . . My gratitude . "
Perhaps this magic could bring me profit .
Well, I'm loaded with money so I'm not going to make a business out of this magic though .
Well, leaving aside the principal's hair, our problem is the barrier .
" . . . The pace has increased, but we still don't know whether we will make it in time or not . . . "
