Two people stood opposite each other—enemies in their own right. One had short pitch-black hair, while the other donned one with a contrasting color and length.
"Are you really sure you want to fight me? It's a little lopsided, in my opinion." The one who spoke was the man with white hair, Elrich Lendertwale.
Also known as the strongest Grand Mage.
"I'm not really into bullying. It's a waste of time and energy." He added, staring at the one who was supposed to be his opponent.
'Lord Jared praises him a lot, especially his intelligence. However, when it comes to a Magic Battle, he'll still come out inferiror.' Elrich thought, narrowing his gaze on Neron.
In contrast to the talkative Elrich, Neron simply stood still and listened to all that was being spouted. His deadpan face showed no emotion, and it even appeared he was bored of the whole thing.
"Not going to say anything, huh? Alright then. Let's get starte—"
"Tell me something…" Neron's calm voice suddenly pierced the tense environment. "... What's so great about Magic?"
For a moment, the question was recieved without a response. It was only greeted with a confused stare from Elrich.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He asked.
"I mean, what is so great about this thing you call Magic? You sold your basic rights and became a subordinate to Jared because you wanted to expand your reach in Magic. You partook in many atrocities, also for that goal. Magic is a driving force that propels you to do the unthinkable. But, I ask you… what is so great about it?"
Elrich still expressed bewilderment at Neron's question. No one had ever asked him that question, neither did they need to.
What kind of person would ask such a foolish question? To him, it was like someone asking "What's so great about water?"
Wasn't that just ridiculous?
"To be honest, I think I would prefer a world without Magic."
"Hahaha! Now you're just spouting nonsense! What kind of person talks like this? Aren't you even a Magic Engineer? A Scholar?" Elrich laughed, almost in mockery of what Neron said.
"Is that so? Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm being a hypocrite…" A smile slowly formed on Neron's face as he stared at Elrich. "Maybe, maybe not."
"Should you really be wasting time like this? Don't you want to stop the generator?" Elrich asked.
"I don't need to. It'll be fine." Neron added, is smile growing wider. "It seems I asked you a useless question. In that case, just ignore what I just said."
"Seems like you're well aware. It was a stupid quesition. What's so great about Magic? Coming from an Inept like you? I suppose you wouldn't be able to understand the thrill of doing something like thissssss!"
In an instant, twin flashes of lightning appeared on both Elrich's hands, and he pointed them at Neron.
The bursts of whitish blue energy charged toward him, cackling loudly in their wake.
