From a certain perspective, this duel had a strong start but a weak finish.
When Irwin finally decided to abandon the table and stop embarrassing himself, this high-grade scroll that had been detonated had destroyed everything.
In the eyes of the audience, it was probably Gabres who couldn't stand the humiliation and decided to destroy himself.
Although it ended much faster than expected, seeing the weak defeat the strong, the humans defeat the elves, and the grand fireworks display, the scene was already spectacular and worth the trip.
But Rorschach himself knew that this was only the beginning.
Before this duel, both sides were just strangers who were accidentally dragged into it. At most, there was some negative influence on the race, but there was no deep hatred between them.
Even if Karwenz wanted to take this opportunity to cause trouble for Roxia, and it would be best if he accidentally caused an "accident", in the elves' way of thinking, there was no grudge between them … Since Karwenz tried to stop Karwenz from doing what he wanted to do, Karwenz was Karwenz's enemy.
So, after this duel, Rorschach would probably have another enemy who wouldn't rest until one of them was dead.
"Ha, as expected, the trouble has only just begun."
Rorschach saw Erwin's twisted face clearly. The old elf didn't join the battle because he was worried that there would be too many eyes around, and he would have to take responsibility if something happened.
Previously, both sides were able to maintain a false peace because they wanted that apprentice to be the scapegoat. Now that he had lost all face, Erwin didn't need to stay here anymore if he couldn't get back at them.
From now on, Rorschach's group would have to be careful of an eighth-grade mage's plots and revenge.
But Rorschach didn't seem to care.
"Winning is better than losing. Do I have to worry about the feelings of the loser? As for revenge and defense, it's impossible not to do so from the start. Seviala, if you have the time to ask me such nonsense, why don't you take a look at the bets you won? You won so much in one go, do you really think those people will pay up?"
After dismissing the annoying Seviala with a single sentence, Rorschach seriously considered what to do next.
"… Looks like we're really going to have to move everything over there."
Rorschach was very open-minded. Anyway, his main business was going to be in the Demiplane. As long as he was the master of the Demiplane, the other party wouldn't have the ability to cause trouble for him in his Demiplane.
"It just so happens that I need some time to do some homework. If I want to be recognized by this godforsaken place, I need to come up with at least two decent theses … I've already graduated, and I still need to write my own theses."
Although his mouth was full of complaints, the smile at the corner of his mouth revealed his good mood.
A mage's power level was very important. However, higher power levels were only for the sake of having more mana to use more powerful spells and magical tools. Higher power levels and more powerful magical research results were the foundation of everything.
Was it difficult to write a thesis that satisfied the picky Archmages? Without the semi-plane, Rorschach felt that it would be impossible to complete the mission.
After all, not only was Rorschach a random mage, his power level and power level were both overstated. If you looked at his age, he would already be considered a super genius in magic. However, even Rorschach himself knew that his theoretical knowledge wasn't even at the average level.
But now, as long as he casually found some second-hand goods from the semi-plane, he would be able to satisfy the Archmages who were reviewing his thesis. Perhaps he would even be able to write a "new thesis that shocked the entire Mage Country."
As for whether or not his thesis was completely original, plagiarism was so popular these days. Plagiarists were doing even better than the original author. As long as they were thick-skinned enough, what could the original author do to them … Ahem, ahem, what I meant was that even if others knew that he didn't write his own thesis, if they knew who the original author was, the thesis would instead attract attention and attention. It might even increase the author's evaluation. Yep, it definitely wouldn't be an accident.
"What? You dare to say that there's a problem with this thesis's theory? I have the real thing right here. "
"A problem with the theory? There's too much logical reasoning, but it can't be realized in reality? You need to know where these materials came from. Are you sure you want to find fault with her? Do you have the right … no, do you have the courage to do so? "
Rorschach himself was quite open-minded. After all, he needed to continuously verify his gains from the semi-plane and take out some things to exchange for the Mage Country's resources and recognition. At the same time, he would also be able to get along well with others.
As for whether or not the wood spirits and the original author would have any problems … Rorschach felt that since they had already given this semi-plane to him, there shouldn't be any problems anymore … He would just have to wait and see if there really were any problems.
"Perhaps I'm still no match for her right now, but in one or two years …"
Rorschach could sense the intense elemental power fluctuations as he looked at the charred area across from him. He did a quick assessment and knew that not only was he no match for her, he wasn't even close to being her match. If he really fought her, he would probably be instantly killed.
At this moment, Rorschach deeply understood just how precious and thoughtful that gift was, as well as the advice contained within it.
"The world is very dangerous, and your enemies are very strong. Before you're strong enough, you should stay at home …"
Rorschach didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Should he be glad that he had chosen the spellcaster job class? Mages were probably the only job class that didn't require actual combat experience to constantly become stronger.
But if he were to be serious, just based on Rorschach's inherited grudges from his elders, it would seem that no matter where he went, he would be cowed by others. If he wasn't strong enough, he wouldn't be able to play at all.
"… In order to avoid trouble, I took the sea route here. But for some reason, a group of pirates, sea monsters, and Seafolk came. Later on, a divine sea monster even came. I feel like that guy hasn't gone far yet. He came to the civilized Mage Country and immediately became enemies with the elves … "
Rorschach thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to give up on thinking about it. Perhaps he could even meet the barbarians in the distant North Pole.
Ice elementals, penguins, and other mortal enemies.
Below the stage, Gabres had already been carried away by Morton. Judging from his signs of breathing, his life was saved.
"See, now I have another undead experimental subject. Perhaps I can still use him …"
Rorschach could see clearly that regardless of whether Gabres lived or died, there would be no place for him in the Mage Country's elven circle in the future.
As an abandoned chess piece, he had nowhere else to return to, and that cliché old saying still had some truth to it.
"My enemy's enemy is naturally a very useful chess piece … What a wonderful friend. Let's see how I place my chess piece next."
Rorschach was quite open-minded. Hatred was the best motivation. If Morton could survive the transformation, there was no reason why a high-level mage couldn't survive it.
What if he failed and died? Anyway, he was burned to such a state. If he didn't do anything, he would die. He might as well treat a dead horse as a living one.
Of course, he could also choose to receive conservative treatment from an ordinary priest, but even if he was saved, he would probably become a cripple. Rorschach estimated that anyone with a normal IQ would make the most suitable choice.
"Heh, I have a level 5 experimental subject. Notify them to clean up the lab."
