Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After Blondina and Merax left, Raven neared Zevien and said with a smile, "say, Zevy, that person who helped you in those four kids' murder case...you know that person, right?"

Touma raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that true, Zevien?"

Zevien was startled, 'how did she know about this? or is it just a guess?'

'Should I reveal it now?' Zevien internally frowned, 'originally, I wanted to tell them about Yowen after I displayed the fairy summoning magic spell to them, but now...'

After thinking for a few seconds, he came to a decision.

"I know," Zevien said as he decided to reveal it, "you can say that he works for me. The electric wave you felt was also from him as he likely wanted to check my status."

Raven and Touma looked at each other before wryly smiling at Zevien.

"Can you guarantee that he won't mess things up? Because the level of his current hacking skills and whatever magic he is using can do a lot of damage to the system of this city. That's why old man Cargil had put him on top priority list ever since that message we received from him regarding proof about those four murders," Raven said as she crossed her arms below her melons with a serious expression.

Touma also nodded.

"Don't worry," Zevien shook his head slightly inside the glass tube before grinning, "he will never do that. He will not harm innocents or this city's system. He will only work on my projects and help me in some situations….for instance, how he helped me find Galen. Ahem, of course, you can also ask for his help through me."

"For now, he can catch any person you want to find in this city," said Zevien as he meaningfully smiled.

Raven narrowed her eyes before sharply smiling, "now that is some good news. We have a few rats to find in this city, and they need to be exterminated as quickly as possible."

"Consider it done," Zevien beamed, "send any information you have of those people or people around your targets to Vernisia. She will pass it to Y."

"Y? Won't you tell us his real name?" Raven pouted.

"Not yet," Zevien pouted back, "it will be my loss if you take him away."

"I sent those rats' information to Vernisia along with a message that said that it is for agent Y," Touma said as a cold glint passed through his eyes, "those trash need to be burned as soon as possible."

"War Hero has left the battlefield but not the intent to protect this country, eh," Raven smiled.

"Naturally," Touma grinned.

"Also, if you need more funds, hit me up," Raven said before she turned around to leave. However, she didn't expect Zevien to open his mouth instantly.

"Then please send two million Lopax credits to Vernisia. Since I can't move for a while, I need to store some funds in case there is an emergency need in the company," Zevien opened his mouth without reserve.

"I sent her contact to you," Touma followed up with a grin.

Raven turned around with a speechless expression, "I was just joking! Hmph, shameless teacher and student robbing a poor lady!"

Despite saying that, she still sent two million Lopax credits to Vernisia after getting her contact from Touma.

"What about the five million I sent you fourteen days ago?" Raven casually asked, "all finished?"

"I still have half a million left," Zevien answered before asking, "what about my next pay? Will it still be five million?"

"Yep," Raven nodded before sighing contentedly, "We just finished the last one thousand Bonecretto magic potions of the government's order yesterday. And since the news about this potion has spread to major Adventurous Dojos of the country and mercenary organizations, I got so many orders that I had to order extra batches of ingredients from Astral Land."

"The number of 3rd class magicians is highest in magic forests and eruption spots, so this tier-3 potion's demand should be very high," Touma nodded before sighing, "although I am not lacking anything but the amount of money Raven is earning is still making me envious."

"You will see real money pouring in when Zevien launches his product called Spell Gauntlet….if it can be successfully created," Raven sighed with a wry smile, "the idea is good but hard to achieve."

"It will be successful," Zevien grinned, "might need a month or two at most."

"Spell Gauntlet? What does it do?" Touma asked with curiosity.

"It is for people who couldn't awaken their magic labyrinth," Zevien answered, "the spell gauntlet uses spell stones as a source of magic spells and mana stones as a source of mana. Spell stones are created from a special material that can only be found in a certain magic labyrinth which I can't disclose for obvious reasons."

"Finally, its use is to allow normal people to wield any type of magic on a daily basis."

"Well, this is how Zevien wants it to work, but neither gauntlet nor spell stone's structure is properly created yet."

"What's the problem?" Touma asked.

"The spell gauntlet can't execute magic spells from spell stones properly due to chaotic magic formation reading on the gauntlet's part and unstable spell weaving method on spell stone's part," said Zevien before he spoke confidently, "but as I said, this product will be completed within a month or two at most."

"If it is successfully created, your company can earn lots of money by selling spell gauntlet and, more importantly, spell stones," Touma nodded thoughtfully, "it is brilliant because normal people can also use it, unlike those magic weapons like guns and swords that requires practice, mana control, and are set to certain uses while spell gauntlet users can use myriad of magic spells upon buying spell stones….awesome."

"Yeah. Although it won't be as smooth as natural magicians, it will now allow normal people to play with magic too," Zevien said with a grin as he continued, "this can lead to new activities and make people's lives easier if they use support-type magic spells in their daily life or during an emergency when danger befalls on the population."

"Well, I hope you can create this successfully. For now, I am leaving as I have tons of work to do," Raven said with a smile before leaving the glass chamber.

After Raven left, Touma rubbed his hand before grinning, "I want to see the transforming magic spell that lets you transform using blood but unfortunately, you can't use mana right now."

"Ahem, I leave the blood collection to my dear Touma-sir," Zevien smiled eloquently, "we can experiment since I also have yet to fully know the limit of that magic spell. By the way, the spell's name is Blood Morphing Art."

"Apt name," Touma nodded before saying, "alright, I will also leave now. You continue to take rest and recover."

"Wait! Can you call Vernisia here? I am truly bored not being able to move my body or do anything. Just let her in for half an hour at least," Zevien said with a miserable expression, "I want to talk to her."

"Fine," Touma said with a wry smile.
