A ripple suddenly spread through Jiang Han's vast web of magical perception. A spell carrying powerful sunlight magic erupted within the net.
Some kind of teleportation spell.
Eileen's? It had to be. Only she possessed magic like sunlight.
What had she gone off to do? Jiang Han wondered, but she still kept close behind the Japanese witch walking ahead.
The training base had been built in the style of a courtyard estate, with long wooden corridors, landscaped mountains and water on either side, and training platforms overgrown with vegetation visible in the distance. It clearly had not come cheap. No wonder Kraken had pulled in two wealthy ladies to invest—those training facilities alone were expensive, an absolutely crushing burden for several Great Witches who were not particularly rich.
Perhaps because the training base had only recently been completed, there were not many people moving about inside. There were only some hired witches serving as maids, along with a small number of witch affairs officers.
Ever since witches had crossed eastward, more and more witch-type workers had appeared on this eastern land. Maids, chefs, and spell assistants were the three most common.
Witch affairs officers, meanwhile, mostly appeared as clerical staff in witches' companies or organizations. They were experienced, and they were the Witch Agency's sole officially designated corps of civil administrators. More specifically, all witch affairs officers were hired from institutions under the Witch Agency. Their managerial and business abilities were extraordinarily formidable.
Basically, if an ordinary witch trained in management had a business aptitude of 5, then these women averaged 8.5—but they needed sufficient supervision...
Usurping the bosses who hired them, or the managers sent by those bosses, was the eternal ambition of witch affairs officers. Expanding the ranks of affairs officers was the greatest part of that ambition.
