Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Lion Heart grunted in retort and continued, "Haven’t I helped him? As soon as I saw that novel industry, I knew it was bound to cause trouble in the future.

If I hadn’t stepped in to protect him afterward, not to mention getting in touch with those three obstinate old men from Tulip, it would have been quite an accomplishment to not end up played to death by the hostile Church."

"Alright, fine, you’ve done a lot to help, and now after you’ve slotted Anthony in, you want to slot in a second one? Don’t end up having to personally intervene to stop trouble, Lord Lion Heart. Interfering at will can disrupt the order, you should understand this better than I do!"

"I have clearly told you that this child should be able to go further on the path of Spellcasters than I did; whether you want to grasp this opportunity is up to you, and as for the rest, it’s out of my hands."

Luxius spread his hands in a manner that suggested he was leaving the matter up to Lion Heart.

"I have no intention of rejecting the idea; I just think he is still young and could use a bit more experience.

I am willing to delegate authority to the young. If a young person knows exactly what he wants to do from a young age and pursues it without regret, no problem, I will support him.

But such a decision shouldn’t be made during one’s youth for most people. At that time, their worldview isn’t fully formed, life is constantly changing, and their knowledge is limited.

With the situation on the continent rapidly changing, it’s very possible that what he wants now is not what he will adapt to and enjoy in the future, and it may even be something that will cause him to be weeded out by the times."

Lion Heart spoke these words in one breath without so much as a blush or sign of breathlessness while Luxius, with a slight upturn of the mouth, did not argue back. He only gazed at the twinkling lights of the Royal Capital below and said softly:

"Perhaps the fundamental problem between us lies in our different understandings of this era. Today, I’m not speaking for Kael’s future happiness and development, but for a new generation of emerging strength.

Lord Lion Heart, when young people are expanding the possibilities of their life boundaries, they are also expanding the potential dimensions for valuing human life.

Since you consider yourself diverse and inclusive, and since you also believe that one should act with youthful audacity because there won’t be another chance later, then you shouldn’t naturally think of recklessness as a pejorative term.

They are all young people. What is the only precious thing at this stage in their lives?

Isn’t the only thing that can’t be taken away time itself?

You are unwilling to give this opportunity, unwilling to provide this possibility, so what are we discussing now?

You are talking about the settled happiness you think he should have, a mundane happiness, which obviously is not the happiness my student desires."

Luxius extended his hands, filling the sky with the hands of a multitude of Mages, and behind him ghostly figures emerged, making him appear like a towering colossus with a thousand hands.

Lion Heart even paused at the immense sense of power.

"See? This is the path that child has explored.

When he chooses to take up the banner from the older generation, it means he doesn’t need you to arrange his future. He has his own ideals and desires and the capacity to make his journey ever broader.

Lord Lion Heart, our generation grew up listening to stories of you following Emperor Caesar, fighting battles in the east and west, and building the Bell Federation from the ruins.

Don’t you think this child is like you, like I was back then? Fearless of the powerful and daring to innovate! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just as you once believed in yourself, try believing in the young. It’s only natural for the youth to have the courage to shout out loud, ’While I’m young, I will defy odds!’"

Upon hearing Luxius’s utterly serious tone, Lion Heart fell silent for a long while, then burst into raucous laughter:

"Luxius, you always amuse me. Alright, since you are set on fully supporting that lad, I won’t play the villain. I agree to your request.

I have had the fortune today to witness the performance of Mages from this new school, and indeed, it’s a promising new option.

The spellcasting materials required aren’t much, and from what I’ve heard, the Magic Model is not as difficult as imagined.

At least, it’s sufficient against the numerous first-tier creatures in the Dungeon, and I’ve heard the kid has proposed many interesting Magic Models too? It seems what you just showed us is one part of those, right?"

Luxius made a Mage’s gesture and spoke in a hushed tone, "That’s also why I hope you’ll let him become a true trailblazer, worthy of the Duchy’s pride.

In this period, he’s proposed the specific direction for development and the desired results, and I have assisted in completing the related Magic Models, which have been progressively finished.

I swear on my honor as Mage Luxius of the Sculpting School, this is indeed a decent developmental path, although its adaptability is somewhat weaker compared to traditional Mages.

However, it paves the way for the growth of Mage Apprentices, allowing them to enhance their strength before solidifying their foundation, offering a good option for many Mages who may not be able to go much further on this path.

To be frank, if I were to act despicably and claim all the credit for these Magic Models...

Do you believe that then, there would be a group of Mages who, because of this path, would hail me as a pioneer of the reform in the Sculpting Mage School?"
