Although Nahida's words remained warm and gentle, the clever Alhaitham immediately caught Lesser Lord Kusanali's implication. Whether the Art Ban could be abolished now concerned whether he could smoothly step down as acting Great Sage and return to his post as Scribe.
He did not want to serve as acting Great Sage, but he certainly did not want to give up his position as Scribe. If he failed to handle this matter properly, even keeping his post as Scribe might become a problem.
At that thought, Alhaitham nodded to Nahida and said, "I understand, Lesser Lord Kusanali."
Nahida then looked at Cyno, who immediately declared, "Rest assured, Lesser Lord Kusanali. I firmly support abolishing the Art Ban."
Hearing this, Nahida nodded, then turned to the people below the stage and said, "My people, I am very sorry. A mistaken policy on the Akademiya's part has caused you to suffer through no fault of your own. However, the Akademiya will need some time to correct this policy.
"Since Inazuma's Regent has invited everyone to visit Inazuma, you might as well treat this journey as a trip to gather artistic inspiration and establish an Inazuma branch of the Zubayr Theater. I promise you here and now that by the next time you return to Sumeru, this mistaken policy will definitely have been abolished!"
"Wonderful!"
"Long live Lesser Lord Kusanali!"
