"What?!"
Inside the room, there were a number of things that were broken because it was slammed.
"I'm sorry, but everything has been decided and I can't help you."
"But you've supported me!!!"
"This new member has the support of the chairman and almost all the members of Ten Saints Wizards. Her strength is undoubtful and she's suitable to become one." The tone of this person became higher and it seemed that he had become angry when the opponent talked to him with a very rude tone.
The man calmed himself and asked, "Who is it?"
"She's the hero of the Land of Isvan, Ur. Then I'll end this conversation. There might be a chance for you to join Ten Saints Wizards in the future. Don't worry, I'll help you at that time." This person then closed the Lacrima communication without waiting for this person to respond.
"....."
The man could only hear the sound of the Lacrima communication device that told him that person had cut off the communication. He became very gloomy and destroyed the Lacrima communication device in his hand.
"Bastard!!!"
Then he couldn't handle his rage anymore and destroyed everything.

Sorcerer Magazine is a medium size magazine. It is quite popular, but it isn't enough to call it the most popular magazine in the continent.
Bourne decided to buy this magazine and spent 20 million Jewel directly to buy it. After he bought it, he opened a meeting directly to talk about the development of this magazine.
During the meeting, there were several matters that he needed to tell everyone.
The first one was the target for this magazine. The target of this magazine was a magician since the name of this magazine was a Sorcerer Magazine, but at the same time, he wanted normal people to buy it.
The number of magicians was only 10% of the population on the continent and it was a pity to give up the market on normal people since their number was a lot.
So the question was how could this magazine attract the attention of normal people? Or rather how could they want to buy this magazine when this magazine was being made for a magician?
The answer to that question was the content.
Bourne told everyone that there were a lot of normal people who were being troubled by a magician and a monster. The most recent matter was the Charm magic that had been misused to kidnap a number of girls to become slaves.
Bourne wanted his magazine to publish such useful content which could help the life of people in this world who were troubled by a dark magician or a monster within the continent. With such content, he knew that everyone would buy his magazine, especially when this magazine would tell them how to break away from the effect of various strange magic in this continent without using magic.
Before Bourne bought this magazine, he had found a way to break away the effect of charm magic, but he knew that it wasn't enough to make his magazine became the number one magazine in this continent.
Then the next question, how could this magazine become the number one magazine on this continent?
Bourne had thought of several methods and the first thing that he wanted to do was to introduce the magic and the magician.
It wasn't that Bourne was arrogant or something, but the majority of people in this world were either ignorant or an idiot.
There were a lot of people who didn't understand magic then made an assumption that when someone received a strange power, they would think that it was a curse or the person who had received that power had been possessed by a demon.
Bourne wanted to erase that stigma and he wanted to tell everyone that a magician wasn't harmful and they were human too since he also knew that there were a lot of magicians who were being discriminated against when they possessed a strange magic such as "Take Over" magic which transformed the caster into various beings.
Bourne was sure that if someone possessed that magic and took over a demon into their bodies, then this person might not have a good life since he/she might be mistaken as a demon.
There were a lot of strange creatures in this world and the demon was also one of them.
Bourne hated a demon since it was a creature which was created by Zeref, however, he didn't hate the person who used "take over" magic on those demons.
Everyone had to admit that Bourne's idea was very novel and they were very excited since they were doing good deeds for everyone in this continent however...
Bourne knew even the content was educational, but people in this world were dumb and it was very rare for them to read a magazine so he thought of a way to increase the sales even thought it was very quite dirty.
"What is the way?" Ultear asked.
"Gravure model," Bourne said.
"Gravure model?"
Bourne nodded and told them what was gravure model.
The female editors raised their eyebrows, but the male editors gave Bourne a thumbs up.
Bourne thought to publish photos of popular magicians, especially the one with a good appearance and the strongest one. He was sure that they would be more than happy since they would receive money and their popularity would also increase.
Bourne knew that reputation really mattered in the magician's life and once she/he lost his/her reputation, it would be hard to have a job since their job was based on the people who employed them.
"So you have invited a magician?" Ultear asked.
"Yes, I've invited someone for our first edition," Bourne said.
"Who is it, boss?"
Everyone was curious and wondering whether Bourne would invite someone from a popular guild or a Magic Council.
"Well, they should be coming soon."
Though, Ur and Ultear suddenly frowned since they felt that they might really know the magician who was being invited by Bourne.
Then the door was knocked on and his employee reported that his guests had come.
Bourne nodded and decided to welcome his guests, but it seemed that his guest was the one who came toward him.
"BOURNE!!!!!!!"
Ichiya ran toward Bourne and hugged him happily.
"..."
Bourne took a deep breath and hurriedly pushed him away. "Calm down, Ichiya-san."
"I know. I know." Ichiya nodded and smiled. "I didn't expect that you would invite me to become a model for your magazine." Then he started to pose and asked, "So what kind of pose do you want?" He gave them a flying kiss and asked, "How about this?"
"....."
Bourne frowned, and he could even hear some of his employees barfed behind him. When he was thinking how to stop this madness, his shoulder was patted.
"Bourne, are you serious? Our magazine is going to be bankrupt with this guy as our model," Ur whispered with a pale expression.
"Calm down."
Bourne patted Ur's hand and reassured her. He was also sure that his company would go bankrupt once he made Ichiya as a model.
"Bourne, it has been a while."
Then someone came and saved the situation.
Bourne smiled when he saw this person. "Master Bob, it has been a while."
Bob smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ur-chan to become a member of Ten Saints Wizards. Congratulations."
"Thank you very much, Bob." Ur nodded with a smile.
"No, no, I should be the one who is grateful since you've given our guild a chance to be published in your magazine," Bob said with a smile and he was also very happy that his guild could enter a magazine.
"No, no, I should be the one who is thankful since you've helped us," Bourne said. He knew that Bob didn't ask for payment, but it was alright since Bob received a promotion from Bourne's magazine. However Bourne would pay for the model that he used for his magazine.
"Right, let me introduce you to the model that I've talked about. She's the most popular magician and the most beautiful in our guild, Karen Lilica," Bob said.
Then a beautiful woman with long green hair and curvaceous body that was shown with her skimpy clothes walked toward them.
The male editors of the magazine seemed to take their breath when they saw Karen Lilica.
Ur and Ultear frowned then looked at Bourne's reaction.
"...."
Karen Lilica was the most beautiful magician in her guild and it was normal when someone was mermerized by her beauty. It was also the reason why she was very arrogant, but she didn't expect that someone would mock her.
"Ugly," Bourne said.
"...."
