With the Vice-Director of the Policies Department giving way, there was no one with the authority to prevent Luvia from guiding Vahn into the very heart of the Clock Tower. Though any of the various Lords would be able to stall her for a short while, they had no grounds to stand on and, depending on the circumstances, this could …

After the conclusion of a rather awkward and tense lunch, it wasn’t long before Vahn found himself in the same black car that had picked him up from the train station. Though it was a comfortable ride, he felt it was somewhat boring compared to the times he would travel around on foot, fly through the sky, or ride on …

Though there was a considerable amount of things he would need to keep in mind, much of what Olivia brought up actually pertained to what Luvia would need to deal with. Vahn knew this was her way of elevating Luvia’s status in his mind but, as it would ultimately be up to her to deal with most of the political …

With ORT’s fragment now hidden behind his ear, Vahn decided not to dally too much within the Crystal Valley. Even though it was admittedly beautiful, with hundreds of crystallized trees, shrubs, and tall, rainbow-hued spires, each of these things represented danger. Just grazing against one was like tracing the blade of an S-Ranked weapon across your skin. If ORT helped …

Though she would have normally been training Mordred around this time, as Artoria took her daughter’s training very seriously, today was an obvious exception to the norm. Since she was intending to accompany Vahn pretty much everywhere he went, Artoria had been waiting for his arrival after having sent Mordred to stay with Rin and Sakura the previous night. Thus, …

According to modern Thaumaturgical practices, there were no such things as the Holy and Death elements, even though their effects could clearly be seen. Instead, they were both classified as a ‘neutral’ element and, only by using specific types of Magecraft, such as Curses, Necromancy, and Purification, would they gain any meaningful effect. In that regard, rather than having Holy …

While releasing a rare yawn, Vahn was making his way back towards the heart of the castle, feeling both refreshed yet mentally fatigued at the same time. Da Vinci was, with no other way to describe her plainly, ‘very’ quick on the uptake. Not only had she gained experience from their first few times together but, now that she had …

Though she had started off somewhat awkward, it only took a few minutes of talking about the subject she was most comfortable with for Olga to slowly relax. Since it was pretty interesting, Vahn had no trouble following along and, with his own knowledge of Astronomy, he was able to continue the conversation by asking pertinent questions. By the end …

Contrary to Olga’s expectations, even after Vahn took her to an obscure and secluded area of the castle, he never made any moves against her. Instead, after reaching their destination, he used a variety of different kinds of Magecraft, many she had never even seen before, to help reshape the structure of the Magus Tower for her purposes. He was …

So as not to give Olga a panic attack, Vahn ultimately pulled out a second sofa from his Inventory, placing it across from her as he and Lakshmibai sat down. Based on how nervous she was, Olga had clearly been thinking too much about how she needed to behave around him. However, after seeing Vahn pull out an object from …
