Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

[ Empire's Fleet ETA: 20 days ] 

Time is quickly passing by as the Empire's Fleet is getting nearer and nearer…

Luckily, they are maintaining their speed so Avalon's estimation shouldn't be wrong. Nevertheless, even if the fleet arrives now, he's confident that they're ready to hold them back.

The Providence has already sortied out. The Excellence is also leading a fleet of spaceships around the Moon Base. 

The Omen IV was also fully repaired and ready to defend the Lagrange Point…

"Avalon… Any updates? Did I miss anything?"

[ The food and water supplies have just arrived and our storage is filled to the brim. All the spaceships have their materials fully supplied. However, a group of few magicians together with a bunch of normal humans playing the Alien Invasion is continuously asking us to have another recruitment… Although you're planning for normal humans to participate in the war, you haven't given them the opportunity yet. ]

Avalon truthfully reported…

First of all, Ace was glad that Avalon manages most of the social interactions now and he didn't have to remember them all.

It was pretty awesome to have reliable Artificial Intelligence by your side. 

'I didn't give them work?' Ace thought for a while before agreeing…

"Alright… Let's give them some work…"

Ace muttered after thinking for a while. 

Honestly, he also wanted to know their capabilities so he wanted to make a test for them…

[ What kind of work? ] 

"Do you have a suggestion?" Ace inquired.

[ Most of their tasks in the Virtual World are unrelated to combat. Only a few high-level tasks would require them to participate in combat and most of them are tasks similar to being a bait or just distractions… ]

"Is that so? Then give them work that's related to their missions in the virtual world. Have them work as a Fabricator."

[ All our Fabricators are Automatons with Wallace's Divine Sense. It may slow the production if we have to teach them our technology.]

"Then have them work as an assistant or something. As long as they can have experience and have a chance to learn even if it's slow, I'm sure that they'll grow someday…"

[ They may be able to do so even without your help as Seed Holdings has already prepared for this kind of similar project.. ] 

"Sigh~ The Seed Holdings, huh. You're talking about the Summit Inheritance Pill… I wonder if father succeeded in the end."

Ace muttered after remembering the company's research about the Memory Crystal that can be consumed by normal humans in order to evolve as a magician. 

Not only that, but he also read that the New Memory Crystal is completely different and even if Magicians who already had 3 Memory Crystals consumed this, they wouldn't experience any brain damages or death itself.

"Avalon. I'm sure that you also said that the pill would still require several years before it can be sold to the public…"

[ Yes. ] 

"Alright. Then don't mind it for now. Let them work in facilities that lack manpower. Make it related to building Spaceships or even Mech Knights…"

[ Affirmative. ] 

"You also make sure that you recruit the best humans out there."

[ That's the plan. ] Avalon replied matter of factly.

"Well, I'm just trying to make sure that we can protect all the other great minds of human society."

[ I see… That's a good move. ] 

"Isn't it? This way, we can ensure that they wouldn't perish easily… As long as we have talented people with us, I'm sure that we'll continue to improve even if it can be slow…"

Ace said proudly as he envisioned that these normal humans right now might be capable of doing something great in the future.

He wanted them to have the opportunity to develop so taking them under his protection is probably the best idea…

"Any more information from the land?"

[ Yes. Wallace has returned. ] 

Avalon answered after being asked.

Ace was astounded by this…

"Hey! Isn't that something that you should be reporting at first?"

[ Wallace didn't emphasize any importance of his message to you so I'm only telling now. ]

"Sigh~ Very well. What's the message all about?"

Avalon didn't reply and instead played the voicemail to him.

"Ehem… Ehem… Avalon, you recording now?"

"Yes."

"Good… Ace! I succeeded… I did it I'm now powerful! Hehe… I also brought a Celestial Being with us. Although he's alone right now, I'm sure that this being is a powerful addition to our forces."

When Ace heard this, he smiled widely.

"A Celestial Being? Are you sure? Can I study them?" The young man in the outer space muttered even though he knows that he won't be able to hear him.

"I heard that only about 20 days were left before the fleet would arrive. So I just want to tell you not to get too pressured up there as we have our forces on the ground. Alright?"

Wallace encouraged Ace as he fully knows what things would make his other self worry.

Ace smiled at this as he looked at the window… 

The darkness together with the endless stars was truly a sight to behold… 

However, this would be a war zone very very soon…

He decided not to contact Wallace for now as he no longer want to worry about the things related to the Magic Earth.

"Avalon, hand over all the tasks related to the ground to Wallace now that he returned. Hehehe…" Ace laughed evilly after saying this…

Finally, he no longer has to worry about the many things related to Magic Earth. 

He can already leave them to Wallace who would later be taught by Avalon. 

As long as Avalon managed to tell him what he needed to know, there shouldn't be a problem.

Finally, Ace can now focus here in space.

[ Empire's Fleet ETA: 19 days ] 

Ace looked at the timer as he found an intriguing discovery by one of Avalon's Mana-Based Observer…

Apparently, the Empire's fleet started slowing down as they released a bunch of Mech Frames to test the asteroid belt that they are about to cross…

They seem to be expecting an ambush at this point so they are being extra careful.
