The next day. Joshua saw Purple Mage again in Norland National Theater.
She was standing before the 'Seven Sages' painting on the scheduled meeting time. Gray Mage was standing next to her.
Gray Mage had another Sage Thought Forum lecture today. Thus, Joshua was not surprised to see him standing beside Purple Mage.
"Are you able to give me an answer now?"
Purple Mage did not greet Joshua upon seeing him. Instead, she immediately jumped into the main topic. Her gaze also turned to Ciri standing behind Joshua.
Joshua took a step to the left and allowed Ciri to walk up to Purple Mage to answer her personally.
"Although I am not fond of academic-style education, I… needed to learn illusion magic."
Ciri walked forward. She was carrying a bag today. Inside the bag were the 'concept arts' of the 'fictional creatures' envisioned by Joshua and Ciri.
