Hearing Pith's words, Victor expressed that he was indeed a little tempted. However, Rhodes Island was full of talent; they probably didn't need him to be an instructor.
Pith told him that Rhodes Island was also very short-staffed right now. For the development of Rhodes Island, Elite Operators like them basically had to go out on missions, so their time on the landship would be significantly reduced. Yet, the training of newcomers on the ship had to proceed. Pith remarked that from Victor's exchange with the Reunion Movement just now, he had great potential for teaching and nurturing others.
Hearing Pith's words, Victor said he was glad to be appreciated and would apply to Ms. Kal'tsit regarding this matter after returning to Rhodes Island.
"That's great. By the way, Logos and I are going to watch that videotape Flandre gave us. Do you want to join?"
Victor shook his head. He said today's seminar had already been very fruitful, and what he needed now was to organize his gains. Moreover, he was neither good at nor interested in researching Soul Magic, so he wouldn't go. Seeing Victor refuse so decisively, Pith didn't feel regretful but was instead very happy. This proved the other party had a clear research direction and wasn't the type who wanted to learn a bit of everything but mastered nothing. Such a talent was even more qualified to be a teacher.
After Victor left, Pith followed Logos to the screening room on Rhodes Island's side. Then, the two of them became insomniacs.
The recording Flandre provided was very clear and complete. It included everything from the start to the end of her conversation with that professor. Because of this, the two of them felt shocked. Especially that professor named Fremont; every time he spoke, he hit the nail on the head, and every pause was perfectly timed. Furthermore, his insights into witchcraft and Incantations made Logos, the only designated successor of the Banshee King, feel his scalp go numb.
Anyway, after watching it, he felt that the words inside scolding him weren't undeserved at all. In front of that man, his own research on Sarkaz Incantations was as flimsy as a joke. Who exactly was he? Why did he have such a profound understanding of Sarkaz Incantations!
Thinking of this, Logos felt somewhat restless. He decided to return to The Valley once he went back this time; he had many questions now. Questions about Flandre, and about this Fremont. There were too many things he couldn't understand, and perhaps only his mother could provide the answers.
Pith, beside him, felt the same. As a top Magic master, she knew very well how terrifying the level of Professor Fremont inside was. She also understood Flandre's level of knowledge. In front of that man, Flandre was like an elementary student. Every point he pointed out was penetrating. She had a hunch that if she thoroughly researched the contents of this recording, she could take a very large step forward in Originium Arts and Magic research.
"Flandre has given us quite an extraordinary gift!" Looking at the already brightening sky outside, Logos let out a rare sigh of admiration.
When the two walked out of the screening room, they gave the Rhodes Island Operators who had just woken up a fright. It was the first time they had seen Logos and Pith with such dark circles under their eyes. This wasn't something that could be formed just by staying up late; it was a total depletion of energy throughout the night.
"Hiss, you guys didn't watch the video all night, did you?" Victor asked.
"We did indeed watch it all night. And this recording... we will take it back to share with all the Elite Operators," Logos said.
"That impressive?" Victor felt a bit of regret upon hearing this. Had he known, he would have gone to watch it last night. After all, once Logos said that, it meant it would likely be very difficult for non-Elite Operators to watch this recording.
"It's not about whether it's impressive or not. How should I put it? If you don't have much understanding of Originium Arts and witchcraft, watching this recording is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky. But if you have systematically studied Originium Arts and witchcraft, watching this recording is like a mayfly seeing the vast sky."
Hearing Logos's words, Victor took a sharp breath. He knew how proud the person in front of him was. To make him so full of admiration, it could only be said that the content of this recording must be absolutely explosive.
On the other side, with the Gensokyo party. After returning to their room, Patchouli and Remilia were also lamenting that today's gains far exceeded those of previous days. Especially regarding Originium Arts and Incantations. Although they were completely different from Seven Elements Magic and had to rely on Originium or Incantations to be activated, as a scholar, Patchouli wouldn't deny them just because they were completely different from what she had learned before. In her view, analyzing Originium and witchcraft was also an important part of analyzing this world.
At the same time, the returning Eirin Yagokoro also stated that she had gained much from the Rhodes Island Medical Department.
"Where's Flandre?" After finishing their chat, Remilia finally remembered that Flandre was missing.
"The Second Young Mistress has already gone to sleep," Sakuya Izayoi spoke up.
"Ah, when did that happen?" Having forgotten her sister because she was chatting with Patchouli, the elder sister Remilia asked with a blank expression.
Sakuya Izayoi shuddered upon seeing Remilia's look, then only calmed down after checking her nose to make sure it wasn't bleeding. "After the gathering ended, when you and Lady Patchouli went to the study, the Second Young Mistress said she was sleepy, so you asked me to take her back to her bedroom to sleep."
"Oh, it seems there was such a thing." Upon being reminded, Remilia vaguely recalled the scene from not long ago. "Then don't worry about her. Eirin, what else did you discover?"
Hearing that Flandre was asleep, Remilia stopped paying attention to her and instead asked Eirin Yagokoro. Eirin Yagokoro recounted her observations and speculations from the Medical Department. Then she said in a low voice:
"I think I more or less understand what this Originium is, but..."
"But what?" Seeing Eirin Yagokoro being so cautious, they couldn't help but become even more curious.
Eirin Yagokoro said: "To be able to let a substance like Originium cover this planet... and persist for so many years, the power or person behind it must be extraordinary. I've found the door, but I don't dare to intervene lightly. Also, I cannot guarantee whether the other party will know what we say here through the Originium, so... we'll talk more after we go back."
Seeing Eirin Yagokoro being so solemn, the others also became serious all of a sudden.
"Then how much longer until Yukari Yakumo and Aya Shameimaru return?" Patchouli asked.
"It should be in the next day or two."
The group prepared to head back as soon as the two returned. As for the drunkard who had gone far away to Higashi, no one cared about her at all, and no one even mentioned her.
When Flandre woke up the next day, she found that everyone's relationships had improved. Before she had walked very far, she saw Mudrock wearing that huge protective suit again at a glance.
"Big sister, why are you wearing those clothes again?"
