"The specifications for this mage tower were all built to the highest standards of our Six Rings World. The Archmages, including my teacher, all opened their private vaults and brought out their collections. That's how we managed to build it in such a short time!"
"Look, we reinforced the tower's structure! The load-bearing sections are all made from black crystal rock taken from the Amethyst Mountains, which is five times stronger than ordinary rock. We also inscribed seven kinds of corrosion-resistant magic arrays into the tower, so it can withstand a certain degree of contamination under normal conditions!"
Arcane spoke at length as he introduced the mage tower before them, a structure that had taken the Six Rings World's heart and soul to build.
Shinji smiled and nodded. "Not bad. Where's Shion?"
Arcane pointed to the top of the tower. "Miss Shion is inside!"
Before long, Shinji and Arcane reached the top of the mage tower and saw Shion, who had been settled there.
As soon as she saw Shinji, Shion bounced over to him. "What took you so long?"
Shinji asked, "How are you doing with the Magic Ring?"
"Look!"
Shion swept out a hand proudly. One magic array after another flew out of her body, then wove together in layer upon layer.
"Oh!"
Shinji's gaze sharpened, and he let out a soft exclamation.
Shion had conjured no fewer than twelve magic arrays with that casual wave, but though they were woven together in layers, they hadn't fully coalesced into a Magic Ring.
Arcane smiled and explained, "My teacher was astonished by Miss Shion's talent. He felt that forming a Magic Ring immediately would waste some of her potential, so he suggested that Miss Shion first master as many magic arrays as possible, then combine them all at once
