Since the bait I had tossed out that day was quite attractive, and since my lecture had been an incredible success and had gained everyone's attention, countless people signed up for my Great Industrial Party the very next day. It instantly became one of the largest mage organizations in the Cloud Tower… I'm joking; that was all obviously made up!
Reality often developed differently from what one planned. Even though I made tons of advertisements, not a single person had signed up for my mage organization as of yet— perhaps it was the mages' nature to be cautious, or perhaps it was simply that I had been far too villainous in the past.
However, there was one person who kept coming to find me of her own volition, though—someone who I didn't welcome at all, someone who made herself into my "guardian…"
"I shall be watching you closely!"
