"You said it was magic that turned a group of people back to what they were," Dellas asked. What would become of the contractor if he were to be used? ”

"I can't see it clearly." Toby said.

"And how do you observe and record?" Brockis asked.

"I can't see people clearly, but I can feel the operation of magical energy." Toby said. "Write this down, and you can also write a qualified magic experiment report."

"You just said that Professor Hallwick is only suitable for a mage?" Brockis spoke.

"yes." Toby said. "Many of his practices are inappropriate if they are used to manage the nobility."

"He's just a civilian, after all." Brockis said. "From an early age there was no necessary education. But what else do you want to say next? What's more? ’”

Toby was silent and didn't answer immediately.

"I think most of the students in Harwick will follow him to the end." Brockis said. "Regardless of their origins, whether they are like you or not, they are from aristocratic families. Because, that's what they were taught. ”

"To be loyal?" Dellas asked. "But Harwick started a rebellion. As aristocrats, shouldn't we be loyal to our family? ”

"That's in some cases." Brockis said. "If it's a small-scale rebellion that is bound to fail, then the sons of the nobility know how to do it."

"However, it was Halwick who was in this operation. This man who has succeeded in countless dangerous experiments, is recognized and respected by almost all mages, and has always 'put the big picture first'. ”

"Who would have thought that such a person would choose to start a rebellion? Will he be sure of victory? What if he wins? ”

After making such an assumption, as a child of the nobility who began to receive a full education from an early age. The logical choice is... Hehe, it is to continue to be loyal to the great magician, and to do his best to assist in the process of rebellion. ”

"Is that so?" Dellas wondered.

"Of course." Brockis said. "What is an aristocracy? In words, honor is of course important, but in reality what is really important is to ensure that the interests and safety of one's family are preserved no matter what the circumstances... That's what matters. ”

"Like I said earlier, there are a lot of benefits to them doing this. If the rebel side wins, these noble mages can use the credit they have made in the process to preserve the family; If the repressive side wins, they will not be in any danger if they use the power of the family. This kind of thing is an unwritten unspoken rule for all the great nobles. ”

"Accumulated means for a long time." Toby said.

"Huh." Brockis smiled. "Just now, why did Dellas and I suspect you? That's why. We thought..."

"I didn't think about it that much." Derras interjected.

"I thought." Brockis changed his story. "You're pretending to value the family. After all, you're one of the first aristocratic students who defected to Harwick. ”

"Actually, you're not entirely wrong." After a few more moments of silence, Toby said. "If Mr. Halwick had made this decision on his own, I wouldn't have rescued you."

"Huh?" There was a hint of surprise in Brockis's voice. "You mean, it wasn't Halwick who decided to start a rebellion?"

"It's not." Toby said. "It was the commoner student named Tonks, who instigated and instigated the rest of the students to take action out of hatred for the aristocracy."

"This—" Brockis's voice became even more surprised. It's true? ”

"Not entirely sure." Toby said. "But it's quite possible."

"If so...."

"If you want to do something, I'm afraid it's too late." Toby said. "Once a conflict starts, it's very difficult for both sides to retreat."

"Halwick has always looked at the big picture," Brockis said.

"But he was always dissatisfied with what the nobles were doing." Toby said. "After the conflict, he can't back down."

"This," Brockis mused. I think this man named Tonks showed a hostile attitude towards the aristocracy a long time ago. ”

"That's right." Toby said.

"Is he talented in the study of magic?" Brockis asked.

"No, he didn't do well in magic experiments." Toby said.

"Halwick keeps these kinds of people around," Brockis said. He should be as aware of this Mr. Tonks' hatred of the nobility as you are. ”

"Yes.... You mean, he did it on purpose? ”

There was a little more astonishment in Toby's voice.

"I can't be sure." Brockis said. "However, there is a complete possibility."

"What do you mean?" Dellas asked.

"It means that this Mr. Harwick's usual 'taking care of the overall situation' or something is all fake, his disguise."

"This man wants to seize the supreme power without wanting to ruin his reputation. Therefore, he kept Tonks by his side--- he knew that this man hated the nobles deeply. And while lacking magical talent, he may also happen to have some political talent. ”

"It's... Impossible. Toby said. Tonks had also clashed with noble mages a few times before. Halwick has always been impartial and never biased in Tonks. ”

"But he didn't chase this man away, did he?" Brockis said. In this way, taking advantage of Mr. Tonks's vindictiveness, it is logical to set off a conflict with the nobles. If the situation is not good, he can criticize Tonks or even hand the person over. He has done so many experiments, and he has a reputation for 'taking the overall situation into account', and the nobles are not easy to do with him. ”

"However, if the power in his hands has accumulated to a certain extent, he is qualified to challenge for a higher position... Well, like now. In the case of being 'blinded', the conflict with us began. ”

"If he wins, he will have the most power; And even if he loses, it is only Tonks' responsibility, he is innocent and blinded---- when the time comes, if he gives his invention to some nobleman, those people will intercede for him, and he will survive. ”

"This...."Toby's voice was full of disbelief and incredulity. How is this possible? ”

"How could it be?" Brockis snorted. "How many members of the Mordler family are still in the mage group?"

"Two more." Toby said.

"You didn't tell them when you acted?" Brockis asked again.
