This was the second time Kano had brought this up. To be honest, Rorschach's current project hadn't seen any significant breakthroughs. The Guild and other Mages were all focused on his Blue Light Shield. His master frequently bringing up what would happen after the project felt a bit like discussing a year-end bonus at the start of the year.
Rorschach put down his teacup, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "My dear Master, you seem awfully eager to send me away, don't you?"
"How could that be? I'm simply concerned for my student. Just don't be like your senior, who's still here freeloading off me."
"That's not right. The first time you brought this up, we discussed the possibility of a war between the Holy Kingdom and the Empire." Rorschach stood up, pacing around the office as he thought. "And yet, you said the Guild was willing to support me in establishing a Magic Tower in the Southern Empire. Something's off. Very off."
