"Wodesen is here?"
Nora sat in a temporary lounge on the second floor, still holding a chibi Ron Doll in her arms. At that moment, it was the Doll speaking.
"Mm, he's here," Nora replied. "He took a look around the hall, bought Element's cards and tablecloth, then sat down at the duel platform to wait for Luo Wei'er."
"Understood. Just proceed as usual," Ron's voice came from the Doll's mouth.
Since they were communicating through the Doll, Ron himself was naturally not here.
A few days ago, Harper, Edith, and Ilya had all resigned and left Disode Magic Academy, planning to follow him in establishing an experimental zone.
For the past few days, they had been following Guy around the areas near the Dalle River on the outskirts of the city, determining the location of the experimental zone, designing the laboratory blueprints, and confirming all the materials they would need.
It was not until this afternoon that the preliminary plan was finally completed, so they had asked Ron to come over and give the final word.
After all, this experimental zone was being built entirely with Ron's personal funds. No matter how much he trusted the three of them, he could not simply wash his hands of it all and leave everything entirely to them.
Besides, in Ron's view, while the Elemental Cards side was quite fun—and creating pay-to-win Magic Duels and card skins had certainly delighted him—it still seemed far less worthy of attention than what Harper and the others were doing.
One side was merely a game, while the other might touch upon the very essence of magic. As for which one attracted Ron more, the answer was naturally the latter.
He had already spent more than a decade immersed in the former in his original world.
