"You mean Colles? He's a really good student—"
How could Waver not know about the new student Shinji was talking about? When he received the application for admission from this student, he almost cried - finally, finally there was another normal student.
That's right, it's Corless, Corless Fulvegi. He is the same person as Corless Fulvegi Thousand World Tree in the parallel world. However, Danic in this world did not discover the existence of the Greater Holy Grail, nor did he form the Thousand World Tree family. The Fulvegi family still remained independent.
It is worth mentioning that Fiore, the elder sister of Corles, is still alive. She also has the same problem of being unable to walk due to paralysis of her lower limbs caused by the distortion of her magic circuit. However, Fiore in this world is braver. She made the decision to give up magic imprinting and stop being a magician through her own thinking and will.
When the Fulvig family heard the decision, they were in a state of chaos. After all, Fiore was the most outstanding talent in the Fulvig family, and the whole family had high hopes for her, hoping that she could save the declining family. No one expected that she would give up just like that.
At that time, there were even extreme voices in the family who wanted to kill Corless. As long as Corless was gone, Fiore would be the only heir, and if she didn't want the family line to be cut off, she had to inherit the seal.
However, Fiore's approach was even more decisive. She simply abandoned everything and ran away from home. Her whereabouts have been unknown ever since. With her actions, she made her brother Colles the sole heir.
The reason a magician family was born was for inheritance. Even if they were declining, they would not risk the loss of inheritance - what if they killed Corless and Fiore still didn't come
So Colles inherited the magic seal, and the place originally prepared for his sister to study abroad fell on him. Because he had no talent, the spirit summoning department that he wanted to enter the most did not accept him. Finally, he applied to the modern magic department with a try-it attitude, and was finally accepted by Weber.
"—Unfortunately, he is not strong enough. Would it be too dangerous to take him with you?"
Shinji didn't answer this question, but chuckled: "Hey~ I thought you were going to say you didn't want to order students around, what, have you figured it out?"
"What time is it now? Why are you still talking about this?" Weber replied unhappily, "I am not the kind of person who is inflexible. I still understand the principle of taking emergency measures. Tell me, why do you recommend Coles?"
"Because he is of the same kind as you."
Although Colles is not very talented, he has a good brain, is hardworking, and knows how to draw inferences from one instance to another. He will take the initiative to get in touch with technology. Like Weber, he is an outlier among magicians.
This may have been a factor in Weber's breaking the law and teaching Colles the Baghdad Battery. Of course, he also wanted to take revenge on Atram, who had despised him before. It can be seen that after spending a long time with Lenise, Weber gradually became more sinister.
"Your main purpose in going to the Magic Eye to collect the train is to retrieve the holy relics, not to start a war. From this perspective, brains are more important than combat power, and Corles is one of the few brains in the classroom. In addition, the spirit summoning magic inherited from the Fulvegi family is very suitable for secret investigations, and the newly learned 'Baghdad Battery' also makes up for the weakness of insufficient frontal combat power. Moreover, Corles inherited Fulvegi's mark, so no matter how poor his combat power is, it is impossible for him to be worse than you."
"Hmm... Can't you put it more tactfully?" Weber's mood at this moment can be described by a classic Internet slang of later generations - it hurts, my friend.
"Sorry, I'm just so straightforward." Shinji shrugged nonchalantly, "By the way, there's another reason for recommending Colles - he may already know about this incident."
"What? How is this possible?" Weber's first reaction was disbelief. "I only told you and Gray about this. Although Lanis didn't say anything, she should have seen it. Could it be her who did it? No, you wouldn't recommend it to me if it was like that. What's going on?"
"Hint, you gave him the 'Baghdad Battery'; who made it?"
"Flat..." Weber reacted instantly, gritting his teeth.
Flatt had already made invading other people's spells an instinct, and he would analyze and invade everywhere when he had nothing to do, and Weber's office was the worst hit area. Everything that Flatt sent to the office might have been attached with an eavesdropping spell, including the Baghdad battery that Weber gave to Colles.
The eavesdropping technique is connected to Weber's office. Once it is activated in the teaching building, the conversation in the office can be heard. Although Weber will soon discover it and conduct targeted defense, Flat will also improve it accordingly. The eavesdropping and anti-eavesdropping struggle between teachers and students has lasted for several years.
The technique added to the battery this time was the latest version designed by Flatt. After completing it, this "genius idiot" returned to his hometown. Weber was relieved, but he didn't expect that he would still be tricked.
Colles was a very hard-working student. He was very excited to get the Baghdad battery. He would practice magic in the classroom whenever he had it. The battery was activated, and the spell inside was also activated. Weber and Grey's conversation happened to be in the office. Everything went smoothly and coincidentally, as if it was arranged.
"This eavesdropper! I'll make sure he gets punished when I get back!"
"Oh? How are you going to make him look bad? Give him more homework?"
Shinji looked at Waver with a half-smile, and the latter's expression froze, and then he looked embarrassed - he was hurt again. Flat was least afraid of adding homework, and he could complete it for you twenty times.
"Why don't you give it to me? It's just the right time to help him improve his self-defense skills."
"Let's just forget it."
"I knew that half of the problems of those students were caused by your soft-hearted approach. Sooner or later, you will... Never mind. You are an expert in this area. I will listen to you."
Every profession has its own specialization. It is a taboo to rashly express opinions on a field that you are not familiar with. After a few complaints, Shinji said no more.
"Let's get back to this matter. I'll take care of the combat effectiveness issue. I happen to have something good that's suitable for Corles. You can have him take it. Even if Atram is standing opposite, he can't beat him in lightning."
"So amazing?"
"That's how powerful it is. I will prepare not only Corles, but also you and Gray's equipment. No matter who the enemy is, he will be in trouble."
"You are an expert in this area, I'll listen to you." Weber responded with the same words.
"Trust me, you will be able to get back what belongs to you. I promise in the name of Matou Shinji."
Shinji seldom makes promises, but once he does, he will definitely fulfill them.
PS: Fiore: "Colles, human ability has its limits."
Fiore: "I've learned one thing in my short life. The harder you try, the more you realize that there are limits to your magic ability - unless you surpass the magician."
Cowles: "What do you want to say, sister?"
Fiore: "I don't want to be a magician anymore, Corless!"
