Amidst the silence, Strass murmured softly.
"Is this kind of solution really okay?"
When Strass said this, Rose, who had been frozen, let out a soft laugh.
"I was aware that I was a bit odd, but you are even stranger. Truly, you are an interesting person."
As Rose laughed, everyone exchanged glances.
"Anyway, let's head to the magic academy, shall we?"
For some reason, Eliza also seemed to be trying to change the subject. Feeling puzzled, I remembered that our plan for today was to go to the magic academy.
"That's right. Then, let's all go to the magic academy."
When I said this, Ail and the others cheered.
"Yay!"
"We can take our time this time."
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Seeing Ail's honest joy, the adults smiled and nodded.

Having received direct permission from Dijio and even been told by the headmaster Balbrea to do as I pleased, I decided to start by observing a basic magic lecture. Incidentally, Rose said she would stay at the castle and not go to the academy.
When we arrived at the academy, Strass and Eliza said they wanted to observe lectures on their specialties, and Corte and the others expressed a desire to participate in the lectures. Therefore, I decided to let Corte and the others actually attend the lectures, while I would go around and observe the students in various classrooms.
"How was it?"
After the lecture, I decided to ask the students for their impressions. I was now at Corte's lecture on basic earth magic, with Ail, Strass, and Eliza nearby.
"The basics of magic are the same, but it seems to focus more on knowledge rather than practical application."
Corte answered modestly, and Ail shrugged and shook her head.
"There are simply not enough teachers who can teach. Why is that? If you can use intermediate magic, you should be able to teach basic magic, right?"
In response to Ail's puzzled question, Strass answered on behalf of the group.
"The problem is the level of research. Because the research hasn't advanced, teachers can't explain the finer details to students. Because the explanations are insufficient, students who are still new to magic and its concepts can't understand. As a result, there are fewer magicians who can use advanced magic. It's a vicious cycle."
"Fidic Academy has a high level of interest in magic from teachers from various countries, and Headmaster Glen promotes practical learning, so it must be a very good research environment."
Eliza also agreed with Strass's opinion.
Indeed. Thinking about it the other way, if the methods of research and learning were changed, the understanding of magic would deepen.
If that's the case, the change should start with the teachers.
With this in mind, I visited Balbrea and made a request. Balbrea's eyes lit up, and he said, "It sounds interesting, so I'll come and observe." It seems my request was accepted.
The location provided was the largest square in the Holy Capital, which used to be an arena. It had sturdy stone walls around it, making it very suitable for our purpose. The ground was compacted earth and gravel, which should be fine for small-scale magic.
Near the entrance to the square, Balbrea, Aword, and Crown were standing and looking at us, with Strass and Eliza behind me. Since it might take a while, I had Shenli and the others return to the castle first.
After a while, the teachers started to arrive. They were surprised and greeted Balbrea and the others at the entrance, and about twenty teachers walked to the center of the square.
The teachers noticed me and looked puzzled.
"What is this gathering for?"
"What do you need from us?"
In response to their questions, I bowed slightly and began to speak.
"I apologize for the sudden summons. I have come at the request of Emperor Dijio of the Mapleleaf Holy Empire."
As soon as I said this, everyone stopped moving. A request from the top of the country couldn't be ignored.
There were various reactions: some looked anxious, others skeptical. I glanced around and then got to the point.
"I have gathered you here today to teach you about the application and research of magic. The plan is to have a study session every day for two weeks..."
As I was explaining, a middle-aged man frowned and interrupted.
"Wait a minute. We don't know your skills. You're a senior teacher at Fidic Academy, but are you really a magician capable of teaching us, despite your young age?"
When the man said this, similar opinions came from the other teachers.
"Indeed, you should show us your magic first."
"Are you trying to steal Mapleleaf's magic under the guise of teaching us?"
Hearing these voices, I raised a hand to show my palm.
"Please rest assured. I have studied Mapleleaf's magic to some extent. So, what I will teach you will be primarily new magic."
As soon as I said this, everyone fell silent. Perhaps it was unusual for people from different countries to teach each other magic. They looked half-convinced but very interested.
However, one person still seemed unconvinced.
A small man with white hair mixed in, with slightly droopy eyes, glared at me. When our eyes met, he sighed deeply and spoke.
"I am Hinek, a senior teacher. I have a question. Is that alright?"
"Of course."
In response, Hinek, who introduced himself, suddenly began to chant a spell. It seemed to be an ice spell. The others hurriedly moved away from Hinek.
"Ice Spire...!"
When Hinek cast the spell, the ground between us froze white, and a sharp ice pillar emerged from the ground.
The Mapleleaf teachers, who were his colleagues, gasped in surprise at the ice pillar, which was as tall as a three-story building.
"Indeed, Hinek-sama."
"Such magic is rare even in other countries."
Hearing these comments, I nodded and replied.
"Indeed. It is a very excellent spell. However..."
"However? What do you mean by 'however'?"
In response to my words, an angry voice came back. I had anticipated this; words alone wouldn't convince him.
With that in mind, I spoke.
"However, I think the time spent on chanting and casting the spell is a waste. Ice Tower."
As I said this, I cast an ice spell without chanting. Immediately, the ice pillar in front of me was destroyed from the inside, and a larger ice pillar appeared.
The situation was similar to what happened with Crown. Feeling a sense of déjà vu, I smiled and looked at Hinek from beside the ice pillar.
"First, I want to teach you how to cast spells without chanting. Those who can master this will be taught about the research of magical tools. How does that sound?"
As I asked, Hinek and the other teachers were frozen in shock with wide eyes.
On the other side, Balbrea was laughing heartily.
