"I admit defeat."
When such a sentence came out of the dean's mouth, there was only one expression on everyone's face.
Confusion.
Complete confusion.
"He actually … admitted defeat just like that …?"
Yes.
The strongest magus of the 19th century admitted defeat.
This didn't only signify victory or defeat, but also a terrifying storm.
At least, those with sharp minds had already thought of the consequences of all this, and they trembled.
On the other hand, Rozen acted as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, as if he didn't defeat the strongest magician in the 19th century, but an ordinary person's puppet on the side of the road, and he put away the Raymond in his hand.
"Let's go."
Without returning the book to the dean, Rozen turned around and said to Io under the admiring gaze of Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki.
This time, let alone the guards, even the professors didn't plan to stop them. They could only watch blankly without any reaction.
In a situation where even the dean admitted defeat, who would have the guts to stop Rozen?
Even if they had the guts to step forward, they would only be humiliating themselves. Who could really stop Rozen?
Now, everyone could only sit and watch Rozen leave the academy with Io. Even Magnus watched in silence. He didn't plan to make a move, let alone make a sound.
But …
"Is this really okay?"
The dean stood up shakily and said.
Rozen didn't look back.
However, Rozen knew what the dean was going to say.
"Even if you can leave the academy now, Professor Eriard's crime will not be erased. You will also be considered guilty of helping the rebels, and you will be wanted and arrested by the United Kingdom."
The dean looked straight at Rozen's back and said slowly.
"If you escaped from the academy with Professor Eriard before you defeated me, then so be it," Roland said with a smile.
After all, even if he was wanted and arrested by the United Kingdom, the enemy was only the United Kingdom.
But it was different now.
"Now, you defeated me in front of everyone, defeated the strongest magus of the 19th century, and even took Remongedon as a trophy. Do you know what will happen with such an amazing record?"
The dean said word by word.
"The war will break out because of you."
Shocking words came out from the Dean's mouth.
"War?"
"It can't be?"
"That … that should be to scare people, right?"
The surrounding students, guards, and professors were all shocked by the dean's words.
"War …!?"
Even Io's eyes widened in shock.
Rozen, however, was silent.
Because Rozen knew that it was very likely to become a reality.
"In the face of a genius who can defeat the strongest magician of the 19th century at such a young age, the world powers will definitely not sit idly by, right?"
The Academy Master explained the reason behind it.
"For example, Easternmost Island, where you are from, will definitely not sit idly by."
For a country to have a puppeteer that could defeat the strongest magician of the 19th century and was even stronger than the Demon King, this was too important for a country.
To put it bluntly, as long as Rozen could join the army and stand on the battlefield, the enemy country would be afraid of him just because he defeated the strongest magician of the 19th century. Rozen himself was comparable to the power of ten thousand people, and he was invincible on the battlefield.
Such a talent was wanted and arrested by the United Kingdom, how could the Easternmost Island sit idly by?
At that time, they would definitely negotiate with the United Kingdom to withdraw the wanted order.
But as a country hostile to Rozen, knowing that Rozen openly violated the law, how could the United Kingdom let him go so easily?
Especially since such a person had a way to defeat the strongest magician of the 19th century, as an enemy, they would definitely want to eliminate such a terrible threat at all costs.
In this way, the two countries would be completely at each other's throats, and then they would start to rope other countries in to deal with the other. In addition, the other countries would definitely have all kinds of ideas about Rozen. Some would try to rope him in, and some would try to eliminate him. As a result, the world would completely become a vortex of chaos, on the verge of war.
Perhaps people would think that this was an exaggeration.
Who would go against a country and even start a war because of a single person?
If this was a peaceful era, it would indeed be impossible.
However, this was not an era of peace, but the eve of a world war. The atmosphere of war was so strong that there was not much room for negotiation.
Today's world was a powder keg. As long as there was a small spark, it was enough to ignite the entire fuse, causing the world to fall into a war.
It was precisely because of this that every country tried their best to develop mechanical technology and new automatons. Everyone wanted to become a demon king, to further research taboos, to step into the unknown, to be ahead of other countries, and to develop new powers. Even the former Akabane Clan planned to rely on war to stand out, to make a name for themselves, to conform to the times, and to display their family's secret arts and power. Io was also worried that war would break out, so he was used wantonly.
Therefore, at this moment, all the dean's words were correct.
If Rozen left with Io just like that, it would be the fuse of a world war, and eventually, a war.
"Of course, England and Japan are allies. If you don't openly defy England's law, England will not be willing to offend you. They might even forgive you for protecting Professor Eriard and pretend nothing happened. But if you openly defy the law, then England will be helpless. If they don't take you down, the dignity of the country's law will be completely destroyed. That is absolutely not something the royal family wants to see, not to mention the existence of the Magus Association. They won't be willing to watch Raymond fall into the hands of a terrible criminal, and they won't let Absolute Monarchy and Infinite Chain Reaction become a threat to the world, right?"
The dean tried to persuade him with kind words.
"It's up to you how you choose."
That was the end of the dean's words, and he no longer said anything.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, everyone around him looked at Rozen with uneasiness.
"Rozen (Rozen -sama) …"
Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki also looked at Rozen with uncertainty.
"Rorelles -san …"
Io also looked at Rozen and was silent.
Start a war.
That was definitely not what Io wanted to see.
"I still …"
At that moment, Io was a little sad and was ready to surrender again.
But …
"You got two things wrong, dean."
Rozen suddenly said.
"One: I am not Japanese, and I don't need Japan's help. Japan will not go against England for this."
"Two: World war will not break out, because Io's crime is not established. As long as it is not established, there is no violation of the law."
Rozen turned his head and looked at the dean.
"I will defeat the Black Prince, take down the real rebel, and prove Io's innocence."
"So, you don't have to worry about it."
