The clash between the Principal and Usuma chilled the atmosphere of the lecture to a freezing point.
Denton looked at Usuma with a sneer, presenting his argument.
"I admit some of you magicians are quite powerful."
"But times have changed! People nowadays can live well without the guidance of magicians, even better!"
Proudly, he showcased the academy's latest invention: a magi-steampunk boiler. After the activation of the magic crystal, the machine roared to life, unleashing boundless power.
"I've been greatly influenced by Master Gould's teachings, striving to bring magic to every household, allowing everyone to equally enjoy the convenience of magic!"
He mockingly questioned Usuma, "Tell me, how many of you magicians would it take to replace this machine, working day and night? Can you produce steel and guns? Can you make every one of my students commute by car? No, you can't."
