”About four to five kilometers?! Who are you kidding?! Go ahead and attend your class first then we'll talk...”

Yumi didn't believe him which was quite understandable considering that the aircraft within this world was still in the developing stage.

There wasn't even a proper combat airship that has been developed yet. Even a solid military air force was not fully established in several countries.

There may be a few but it hasn't matured due to the various focus of each government.

Wallace was sure that the countries like Montego would focus on their Mage Tower while Maja would focus on their automatons. Each country has its own specialization and even if they have an air force, they haven't realized how powerful it can be due to the current peaceful era.

Aside from that, there were tons of mana spells that could reach to the sky, and people on board of this vessel were deemed to be an easy target... This was also one of the reasons why Wallace released several engines that could surpass the speed of sound. This way, people can realize that the sky supremacy was still one of the best methods to establish power.

”Sigh~ Alright... I'll just show you later on...” Ace felt that it would be better to show Yumi about his current work.

Wallace planned to use the combat spacecraft they were building today to be used as a practice for the real deal. He wanted to build a Conqueror-Class Starship someday that would surpass even the Galactic Federation's starship.

To do that, he had to get used to incorporating Magic Technology within his works.

”Show me?” Yumi asked as she was confused by this guy's plans...

'He's already building his Steel Knights and yet, he still has time to build huge aircraft? He surely has all the time he wants, huh... Right, did he say that he was only about to build this thing? What would he show me then?'

The girl was unable to comprehend this guy. She was already shocked by his current identity and now, she learned that he was actually preparing so much in order to fight against the future invaders.

”Yes... Wait for my class to end. Let's go home together...”

Wallace answered as he headed to his classroom.

”Ugh... Fine... You should've calmed your mind after your class...” Yumi can only reply as she shakes her head after seeing Wallace return to his classroom.

Within the Headmaster's room, Percival and the others were having a different conversation.

”Miss Chamber, what do you think about that Wallace?”

Percival asked her because as everyone knows, she was the most talented here in terms of practicing the Soul Arts.

There are cases that a person's aura or mana fluctuation can be faked with a high-level magic spell or mana artifacts however, Soul Energy could not be easily faked.

”Everything seems to be normal on his Soul Energy. Although, he had gotten a bit weaker. I'm sure that it was truly Wallace... I don't think that someone was impersonating him.”

”Haaa... That's impressive then. Flowing Spirit, huh... Do you guys know about it?”

”I've only heard about it. Right, I've seen it in an auction before...” Clint suddenly said as he told them about the auction that has occurred in the capital.

Secret Arts were a hot item and no one would easily sell such valuable items. News about these products was always a huge deal to many collectors and researchers who wanted to identify the origins of these mysterious techniques.

”We don't have a way to contact Sir Slaine or Wallace... Do you think that he has a method?”

”I don't think so... He already explained that they have different minds and he was also unaware of whatever that has happened in the northern continent.”

”Anyway, make sure that this information only stays within this room...” Percival said gravely as he looked at everyone.

They were not sure about the details, but an ability to clone a person and have almost the same flesh, similar mana fluctuation, aura, and soul energy would covet many people's greed.
