In response to Tohno Taima's somewhat indifferent declaration, the other party did not have any dislike, but instead...

"You're right, I totally agree with that."

He admitted very frankly.

"Well, what exactly is it? Just give a general idea."

"The real thing? I'm not quite sure either, after all, the information about it is not very clear. It's probably the ability to transmit sound."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of saying it, Tohno Taima couldn't help but furrow his brow.

"You're not planning to say, huh?"

"Haha, sorry sorry, actually I only know a general idea. Besides being able to transmit images and sound, it should also allow people on both sides of the Mystic Mirror to touch each other, and even, enable one person to go to the other side through the Mystic Mirror."

"…So, it's like the ability of space teleportation?"

"That's right, it's impossible to achieve with today's technology. By remotely locking onto a target through some means, you can communicate and even make contact with the target, and it's not just that."

"What?"

Hearing this, Tohno Taima couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"I heard that you can also cause long-distance destruction through the Mystic Mirror."

What? This result once again caught Tohno Taima off guard.

"In other words, through the Mystic Mirror, even if you are sitting at home, you can fight the army on the battlefield, and the other side can do nothing about it, just like a laser satellite."

"That's right, it's like one-sided massacre. I didn't expect you to guess this. It's almost like a strategic-level magic. This kind of effect is unimaginable even now, let alone back then."

"..."

After hearing the answer, Tohno Taima was so astonished that he couldn't say a word, but then he seemed to think of something.

"What do you mean by saying you can only learn up to this level?"

"Just as it literally means, although there are records of related methods, I can't learn beyond that."

"You can't learn beyond that?"

"That's right, to achieve the effect mentioned later, I am currently unable to do it, both in terms of aptitude and magical power. So being able to transmit sound is already the limit."

"Oh... I didn't expect you, as an S-class mage, to say such discouraging words. It's quite rare."

Facing Tohno Taima's sarcasm, the other party could only sigh helplessly.

"...Are you making fun of me? But it's just the way it is, I'll accept it for now. And you're a bit too naive about something."

"What do you mean?"

"Although this Mystic Mirror is an inaccessible existence for us, and it's even called a legendary secret art, but..."

"But..."

The other party seemed a little disappointed with Tohno Taima's reaction, but still said a certain fact with determination.

"But for the founder of our clan, it's nothing more than a trick, it's not even worth mentioning."

Upon hearing this, Tohno Taima gasped in cold air.

"..."

"Well, don't be too pessimistic. Not only is it the same with our clan's secret arts, it should be the same with your clan's. You should be more clear about that, the kind of magic that far surpasses our imagination as descendants."

Hearing the other party say this, Tohno Taima also seemed to understand.

"Yeah, after all, the founder of our clan and the creator of your clan are monsters of the same level, and there is a considerable connection between them."

"Right, since the situation for the two of us is the same, there's nothing more to say."

Tohno Taima simply closed his eyes and said in a slightly helpless tone.

"For now, let's not consider it a bad thing."

"However, I didn't expect that you actually did it, that kind of thing."

The other party's words were rather vague, but it seemed like they intentionally said it that way because they believed Tohno Taebeok could understand.

To this, Tohno Taebeok just said calmly.

"Since this fate cannot be avoided, we can only actively respond to it."

"You're really cruel for saying that. Not only did you not tell your daughter anything, but you even gave it to her. You clearly knew...you must have done it on purpose."

"If you want to say that, aren't you the same?"

"...Even if you know, don't expose it in front of her. At least give me a way out."

Facing the other party's complaints, Tohno Taebeok ignored them and returned to the main topic.

"In any case, this is both unavoidable and necessary. No matter what means we use... And you haven't forgotten what happened two years ago, right?"

Upon hearing this, the other party's words suddenly lost their warmth, as if they could freeze a person.

"Of course, history cannot be reversed."
