64 Last Battles Part 3 (1/2)

The group of three were related to the Ministry of Magic Education that has sponsored this competition.

The one who organized the forging competition's materials was this stout middle-aged man who felt his heart bleeding because of the wasted Ancient Abyssal Glass.

The 12 of this Ancient Abyssal Glass that's available in the competition are the only existing geniune material that can be found in Zairus, legally.

Although the scarcity of this item stops many magic engineers to explore what the material could further do, this item had many theories published by researchers on how it can be used if it was successfully forged.

Because of these theories and research on how to utilize the material, many aspiring mana technician or even magic engineers felt that once they have the material, they could also create an amazing mana artifact from it.

Even Wallace's classmates, Tracy and Ross, felt that they could also create an artifact using the Ancient Abyssal Glass similar to what Wallace made but they needed longer time, maybe half a day would be required to finish the Mirror of Trace. All because they know the theory from the books they have read on how to make it.

Also, the magic structure for the Mirror of Trace is an open secret since few could really manipulate or mold the material to create one. With Tracy and Ross resources, they could get a copy of this magic structure easily but unfortunately, the materials were tightly held by the Ministry.

What others do not know was how difficult this Ancient Abyssal Glass to be processed and to successfully create a mana artifact from it. Only those who were lucky enough to use the material knows how difficult it was to forge the material.

If not for an additional memory crystal he consumed that was given by the Pathfinder as a reward, he won't be able to forge this Mirror of Trace.

[ High Level Unhindered Mana Gathering Formation ]

[ 12 Cycles of Mana Stabilization Array ]

These 2 memory crystals that he consumed was what Wallace relied on to be confident in forging the artifact. Without this 2 knowledge prior in this competition, he would not pick up this myterious material that can only be normally found in the northern continent.

Not only that, together with Wallace's knowledge, he perfectly assimilated his other Magic Structure that could be used in any mana artifact, Mavis Prayer.

Apparently, the known successful Mirror of Trace that was ever made can only be used 3 times, but what Wallace did here can be used twice that number before the Ancient Abyssal Glass loses its power. It was all because of the combination of his skills that it was made possible.

Of course, if Sir Mace here learned about this, he would be even more surprised and may directly hire Wallace to work for the Ministry.

”Sigh.. The 12 pieces of Ancient Abyssal Glass that we put there should only be as used as a decoration so I can use it to make a speech at the closing ceremony about how they are still incompetent and needs further exploration and improvement in their judgement.”

Sir Mace took a deep breath thinking what he would do now in his prepared speech.

The man beside him whom the young lady called Uncle Kurt twitched his mouth on what this bald man said.

”You can just call your secretary to make you a new one. There's still a couple of days before the closing anyway.”

Kurt said as he shook his head and given him an advice.

”Let's continue watching the battle for now..” Kurt glanced at the young lady beside him before continuing. ”The battle between your friend and Kyla is nearing.”

”Shirley will definitely win.” The young lady said confidently. She has already forgotten the grumbling Sir Mace and focused on the current match.

***

The battle between Ray and Lawrence brought everyone watching the fight on their edge as it made them feel how exciting the battles between magicians could be. Magicians are full of mysteries and couldn't be judged on how they looked. They seem to always pull surprises and a battle between them could always change its favorability in an instant.

Because of this, everyone was expecting that the second battle or in next battles would also be intense.
