036, Modern Magecraft at the Clock Tower

Over the past decade, as the world entered the twenty-first century under the influence of the Light of Technology, people's lives had undergone earth-shaking changes.

This had also caused Modern Magecraft to fundamentally become a trend that adapted to the times. It had emerged in response to the era, gone from being ignored to catching Rimuru's attention, and even received early investment through the Mineralogy Department Lord's concessions and tremendous costs.

Now, it had grown with the times. In just ten years, it had become a colossal force that influenced Magicians across the entire world, one that no one could afford to ignore.

Thanks to the convenience of magical communication and their understanding of modern knowledge and theory, not only did they learn at an astonishing pace, they had even solved hundreds of problems that had once plagued the magecraft world—by studying the flowing nature of water-element magecraft, one could understand it as extreme kinetic potential, thereby creating compressed attacks like high-pressure water cannons.

The foundations for creating all things—vast numbers of runes whose meanings had once been unknown—were matched one by one, then replaced with elements from the periodic table, such as copper, iron, and platinum.

They had effectively applied science to idealism, producing a new magecraft system. Even the great families of the Clock Tower had no choice but to acknowledge its standing. Modern Magecraft had gained its own name, independent of modern magecraft.

The vanished magecraft of the Age of Gods, the rare Rune Magic, the currently largest school in the world—improved modern Western magecraft—and now, Modern Magecraft.
