-696- I can do it again

"Rozen!"

As the door was forcefully opened, Yaya rushed in first.

"Rozen-sama!"

"Rozen!"

"How are you? What happened!?"

Hinowa, Subaru, and Mutsura arrived slightly behind, displaying a mix of anxiety and restlessness.

"Yah!"

"Ouch!"

Due to their delayed entrance, Charlotte and Frey got stuck at the door, even colliding with each other, causing both of them to scream and fall.

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!"

Several dogs rushed in, following the commotion, and ended up stepping on Charlotte and Frey, eliciting even more miserable screams from the two girls.

"...What are you all doing?"

Only Sigmund hovered in the air, observing Charlotte, who had fallen on the ground, with a speechless expression.

The entire room became chaotic, bordering on mayhem.

At this moment, Yaya had already pounced onto Rozen.

"What's going on? Has something happened? Did someone attack? Has a vixen appeared!?"

Yaya anxiously bombarded Rozen with questions, almost as if she wanted to examine him to figure out where the issue lay.

However...

"Don't take advantage of the situation! And what's the meaning of the last sentence!?"

Rozen pressed down on Yaya's head, ignoring her resistance, and pushed her away.

By now, Hinowa had also arrived.

"Rozen-sama! Where's the Vixen? Leave it to me, Domon Hinowa! Leaving aside the aspect of becoming the legal wife or concubine, vixen who seduces other is absolutely unforgivable!"

It seemed that Yaya had led Hinowa astray.

"You better not believe in that!" Rozen struggled to contain Yaya while addressing Hinowa. "There's no Vixen And what does this 'legal wife or concubine' even mean!?"

What on earth were these people thinking?

Even with the significant transformation brought about by his "Mind's Eye," Rozen realized that he still couldn't decipher the complex and terrifying minds of these girls.

The issue was that real people weren't limited to just Hinowa.

"You, are you hiding a vixen inside the room while others are worrying about you?"

"Ugh... This is bad..."

With the help of Sigmund and the dogs, Charl and Frey finally managed to get up. They rubbed their backs while casting disdainful and reproachful glances at Rozen.

"...Do women in this world refuse to see the situation clearly?"

Rozen's mouth involuntarily twitched.

In the end, Subaru and Mutsura were the only ones remaining calm.

"Let me punch this guy who keeps making us worry!"

"Wait a minute! Don't be so impulsive!"

Subaru was about to rush up and punch Rozen, but Mutsura hastily held him back, struggling in the process.

"You guys are not calm at all!"

Rozen couldn't help but comment.

"Woof!"

"Woof woof!"

Even the dogs were barking incessantly. Sigmund, who still couldn't understand the situation, was blocking Charl, adding to the extraordinary noise in the room.

Rozen had thought that, finally, with the transformation of his "Mind's Eye," he had reached an unparalleled level of tranquility. He believed he wouldn't react so strongly to anything anymore. But who would have thought that all of this was just fleeting as clouds.

The transformation of one's mindset doesn't necessarily equate to the fading of emotions.

Monks can abandon the seven emotions and six desires, sages can comprehend the ultimate truths of the world, and martial artists can achieve enlightenment through their combat skills. They can all attain the abilities of the "Mind's Eye," yet that doesn't mean they lack feelings or desires.

As a result, Rozen was easily irritated.

"Be quiet!"

Rozen shouted loudly and clapped his hands.

"Clap!"

With the clear sound of the handclap, a surge of magical energy spread out like high-pitched ripples from Rozen's hand. It created concentric waves of energy that expanded outward, affecting everyone in the room.

"Ah!"

"Ouch!"

Immediately, everyone covered their ears, writhing in discomfort.

But at least, they all fell silent.

"Have you calmed down?" Rozen squinted his eyes and said, "If you haven't, I can do it again."

Saying that, Rozen made a gesture as if he were going to clap his hands once more.

"Wait... wait!"

"Don't do that again!"

"We've calmed down!"

"We're calm!"

People hurriedly responded, stopping Rozen.

"Really..."

Rozen sighed and spoke without much enthusiasm.

"This is just some fluctuations in magic power, what's the big deal?"

Rozen criticized them like this.

And that wasn't wrong.

Just now, Rozen had merely released a bit of magic power to test the effects of his "Mind's Eye" transformation. He hadn't used any magic and certainly hadn't displayed any special abilities. In this academy teeming with magus, this should have been considered a very normal occurrence. Even if the amount of magical power he released was somewhat excessive, it wasn't substantial enough to warrant such an overreaction.

Of course, Rozen could also understand everyone's feelings.

"Do you all think I've been hiding in my room because something went wrong? The moment you sensed magic here, you immediately assumed something was happening?"

Rozen remained just as unenthusiastic.

"Don't worry, I'm not that troubled, and I'm not dull enough to be caught off guard by an attack. You don't need to fuss."

Rozen threw these words out, leaving everyone stunned and speechless.

Clearly, he had hit the nail on the head regarding their thoughts.

This led the most unyielding Charl to rebuff.

"If there's nothing wrong, why release magic power randomly? Do you want to scare people to death?"

Charl's words found agreement from the others.

Moreover...

"What kind of magic was that just now?"

"Did you use some strange technique again?"

Subaru and Mutsura both posed these questions simultaneously.

Even Hinowa seemed to sense something and hesitated before speaking.

"Have you undergone some change, Rozen-sama?"

Hinowa asked cautiously.

Even Yaya blinked in surprise, looking both amazed and puzzled, as she felt that Rozen was somehow different from before.

That was probably because...

"Can you feel magic from my body?"

Rozen revealed the truth of this change.

Everyone was then astonished to discover that they couldn't sense magic from Rozen's body.

No, it hadn't disappeared, they simply couldn't feel it anymore.

"I've concealed all of my magic power. As long as I don't release it, others will find it challenging to sense magic from my body."

Rozen explained with a smile.

Precisely because of this, those with keen perceptions would sense something different about Rozen.

"Concealed magic power..."

"Is that possible?"

Everyone looked at each other again, likely not fully comprehending the concept.

Rozen didn't bother explaining further.

"You can leave or stay, it doesn't matter."

Rozen casually stated.

"We have important guests coming here."

As soon as he finished speaking...

"Oh? Discovered already?"

Amidst some astonished voices, a figure entered from the door.

"Professor Kimberly?"

Charl exclaimed in surprise.

It was none other than Kimberly.
