Magical Academy: Rise of the Supreme Magic Craftsman

"We'll follow this design..."

Wallace approved the blueprint containing the new design for this whole mountain. The only condition that was left by the government was to retain at least half of the forest in the renovation he was about to start.

Of course, he didn't mind this since most of the plan will cover the underground of the land. The forest was a good method to conceal some entrances of the larger facility. He only plans to utilize the center of the plot of land that he purchased and retain the forest at the outer edge. 

The design he approved was very well made and it would conceal the true purpose of this mountain.

A part of this land will be used for the production facilities, followed by the hangar itself, and lastly was for the Mass Driver that would extend up to the edge of the mountain. 

The renovation alone would take a whole month since aside from waiting for the steels and other materials required, digging a foundation, moving the soil or the earth somewhere else, and the work speed of the automatons must be considered. 

Probably, if Wallace helped at the workforce, it would take lesser time but he decided to just let Avalon do its work since it already has its own plan.

But for the security around the mountain, Wallace decided to modify them again. Their place was no longer protected by the city's barrier so he had to take it seriously. Without the barrier, he might suffer to some random criminal group if he was lax about it. 

"Avalon, let me see the design for the security..."

His previous house's security system includes his original creations like Wave Ward, Terror Centrifugal Gun, Laser Focus, and other mobile turrets. There was also the Force Field Protection covering the house. 

"Hmm... The land that we bought was huge but..."

The elevation of the mountain reaches only 1,090 meters so it wasn't that high. On the other hand, the plot of land that they bought includes the forest around the mountain making the whole land they purchased for about 2,030 hectares.

The place was huge and expensive. Anyway, Veda was the one going to pay so he didn't have to worry about it.

Because of that, all his profits on his VR Pod will be used for a different purpose now. 

"I'll handle the design for the security... Show me your current plan."

Wallace planned to add some features on his security system. He wanted to maximize the benefit of having his property outside of the city. 

On his old house, he had to somehow limit the firearms installed since he was under the protection of the city's barrier and must follow the law and regulations.

But now that he was out of it, the restriction was a bit laxer so he can now start building a stronger defense even if it was noticed by the government. 

"Hmm... Let's put it here... As for the Iron Knight..."

Wallace paused for a moment as he was considering the structure of his defense.

"Avalon, I'll leave the Iron Knight and the Lotus Mech Frame here... Make sure that you can control them at any time..."

Now that he possesses the Astral Core, he felt confident about his strength and decided to leave the two humanoid machines here. 

It would make him more confident of traveling to the northern continent since the two machines should be strong enough to lead the defense here. 

"Now, for the combat spaceship's design... I'll leave it to your discretion, Avalon. Leave our personal spaceship later once you've experimented enough for the fleet. I want you to make the best spacecraft after all these were done..."

[ Affirmative. ] 

Wallace didn't end their conversation here as he thoroughly explained to Avalon all his plans for the space fleet that they were planning to make. 

He wanted to ensure they will be able to damage the Meredith Empire as much as they can before they landed here.

In short, he wasn't expecting for this fleet to defeat the Empire but to at least tear a limb on its forces. 

Sigh~

"I can only assume the number of forces that will be sent here... I doubt that the emperor himself will be the vanguard if they decided to come. At most, that man will probably use the strength of some royalty to probe the strength of this planet first..." 

After reaching this thought, he remembers the 10 Mech Frame with installed QCBS that were currently under the process of creation already... They were a good batch of weapons that they can use to also probe the empire. 

Those 10 can be easily piloted by magicians or even non-magicians because of the existence of QCBS that was installed to them.

Wallace was trying to think whether these 10 will accompany the space fleet in the outer space or leave them here as well. 

"No... Let's just leave them here... Those QCBS were too precious to be destroyed. Avalon, I believe that you already have a copy of the control system of this Celestial Army - Iron Knights Brigade..."

[ Correct. ]

"Very well, use this standard for the mass-produced Mech Frame that we'll use. I can no longer provide other QCBS but I'll let you know once I got another batch..."

[ Affirmative. ]

Yumi managed to invite two more people to their rescue operations on the northern continent. They weren't paid mercenaries but friends that she trusted a lot. 

She didn't think the number would help them rescue her cousin so she decided to have small but high-quality team members. 

"Yumi! Are you really not afraid of going there?" One of them asked worriedly. The place was just too bad to be a place of magicians. 

"Of course... Although I don't like my cousin... He still treated me very well when I was still not too adept in magic, I should return the favor..."

"Haha... Don't ask her these kinds of questions, Hannah..." 

Said by the only male in their group. 

"Mhmm... That's true... Anyway, I also had a debt with your cousin so I'll accompany you, sister Yumi... How about you, Clint? Why did you bother joining us? You could die in the northern continent, you know?"

"I understand that... I'm also confident in my survival skills and since no one else was willing to join your team, I can only accept... That's how kind I am! " 

They only laughed at this. The two were sure that the man was very interested in that place as well.

Now, Yumi couldn't help but contact Wallace. She has now prepared all she needed and was only waiting for the Mage Doctor's job to be completed.

"Three weeks or more?"

"Yes... Is that fine?"

"Well... It's fine for me... But I don't even know how long will your headmaster survive there... Can't you make it quick..."

"Sigh... I understand... I'll try to assist the mage doctor as much as I can to make it easier... I'll let you know if there's good news."

Wallace ended the call as he decided to visit the Mage Doctor's room again.

He doesn't want to rush the man but it shouldn't be a problem to help him as much as he could.

Because of this, the Mage Doctor was now ready to start the operation after two weeks of studying the Secret Art.
