The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

Why the hell aren't you playing by the rules...

Arthur felt a suffocating frustration lodged in his heart that lingered for a long time.

Lister pushed up his glasses and chuckled softly.

As a nobleman of great taste, he had long grown indifferent to the petty strife of fame and wealth.

He was a mature man who disdained such child's play, so much so that he rarely wore diapers anymore, a sign of his maturity.

Based on the principle of diapers, the mature Lister had recently started researching feminine sanitary pads.

And he had made some progress.

"Brother Su," Lister pushed his glasses up again, "since you've also come here today, you must have come for that event."

"What event?" An Su was puzzled.

"The 'Magic into Homes, Magi-guidance to Villages' event—even if you're not a magician from the guild, you can still participate."

Lister thought An Su was pretending not to know,

"The Magic Guild's Vice Chairman Merlin believes that magic is not just for combat and witch-hunting, but also for the benefit of the people, making everyone's life more convenient. That's the purpose of this special event."

"The organizer provides the base magic, and magicians are free to modify and create, aiming to make practical and convenient new-era magic."

"With a focus on improving residents' quality of life."

An Su thought the Magic Association was quite innovative.

"The event has three requirements: [Friendliness], [Practicality], and [Aesthetics]."

"And the judges are all the citizens who come to see. The magic with the highest distribution quantity will win."

"The top three selected will receive special awards."

An Su became interested.

Improving the quality of life for every citizen and fostering love among his followers was his duty as the mayor.

He first approached the priest at the entrance to register,

The old priest looked up, glanced at An Su, and then at their registration information, and couldn't be bothered to cater to them anymore.

After all, every event there would be novices, fresh from training, signing up, which was both troublesome and mostly useless; the magic they crafted was essentially trash, not even deserving of a 'normal' rating.

They were just immigrants from the border.

Merely taking up magic resources.

"You can go to the third floor's archives to collect your materials,"

Stay tuned to empire

the old priest said without looking up,

"We can offer the construction of two initial stage magic circuits for you to choose and emulate. We'll provide a professional Alchemical Mana House for your magic creation, supplying the magic power needed."

"The registration fee is one hundred gold coins, and the time limit is one hour."

"The crafted magic will then be offered to citizens to choose from."

An Su's desire to help the citizens surged even more, while Arthur and Lister were also quite interested.

They immediately divided tasks and went up to the third floor to select the magic circuits they wanted to reference.

Arthur was a valiant knight who loved nothing more than battle.

He decided to focus on the [Practicality] aspect, choosing to reference the two spells [Holy Light Coverage] and [Sight Perception], one to create Holy Light for self-protection and the other to sense the line of sight of enemies, a Scouting Magic.

The priest was puzzled by his choice.

Having selected the reference magic, they moved on to the Mana House to work on modifying the magic circuits.

The priest was still puzzled by his choice.

Lister was an elegant nobleman, always maintaining an image of grace and propriety.

He decided to focus on the [Aesthetics] aspect, choosing to reference the two magic circuits [Holy Light Record] and [Light Sketching].

Both were the most basic Holy Light spells, one could record images with Holy Light, the other could sketch shapes with light.

The priest was also puzzled by his choice.

An Su, a smart man by birth, saw the old priest mention the guild could provide magic power for the design, so he quietly summoned Bone using magic power. This being used to be a Demigod level person, quite handy when it comes to magic design.

The priest, witnessing the surging magic power consumption, was very puzzled.

Bone had absorbed too much magic power, draining away the magic power that other competitors could use, and in a moment, half of them chose to forfeit.

Bone had only absorbed magic for less than three minutes before running out of magic power and skulking away dejectedly.

In the end.

An Su set to work in the "Friendship" category, selecting two reference spells: "Leyline Vibration" and "Structural Protection", one a earth-attribute vibration spell and the other a defensive spell, able to protect buildings from damage.

The priest thought these three were here to make trouble.

The reference spells they selected had no discernible pattern at all!

He was, after all, a Fourth Order Magician and had never seen anyone as refreshingly original as these three.

Half an hour passed by quickly.

It was time for the citizens to vote and choose.

For the citizens of Farol, the Magic Guild's monthly "Magic in the Homestead, Magic Guidance to the Rural Areas" event was always an interesting festival.

The third hall was packed with people.

The priests were quite fond of the Alchemical Church's Priests, having heard that the magic genius Ai Xueli was also participating.

Her "Anti-Wolf Holy Light Spell" had already received two hundred votes.

After a series of demonstrations, Arthur presented his magic on the stage.

He was handsome, with golden hair that wildly fluttered in the sunlight, and his smile, both hearty and bright, which set many a young girl's heart aflutter.

Ai Xueli twitched the corners of her mouth upon seeing Arthur on stage.

How did these three also get here!

"As a warrior, fighting honorably is a knight's honor, but sometimes, we are influenced by society, preventing us from fighting as we wish," Arthur said with a hearty laugh.

"And it's easy to get caught by Order Knights."

"There's always that last layer of constraints that hinders us from unleashing our full strength."

"So, I crafted this spell, derived from Holy Light coverage and visual detection."

With Ai Xueli's pupils shaking, Arthur stripped completely, flinging off his coat, trousers, and even his underwear, revealing his near-sculptural perfect form.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his groin area was covered in a layer of holy radiance.

"As long as it perceives people's gaze, it will automatically generate Holy Light here."

Arthur continued with a bright tone, "This way, you can streak while still avoiding capture by the Order Knights."

"I call this spell—"

"'Decently Exposed'!"

Decently Exposed

Initial Stage Spell

Magic Power Cost: 1

Effect: Sense the enemy's gaze, automatically generating a layer of Holy Light to protect the looked-upon area (due to low magic cost, it does not provide physical protection)

Note: Arthur Sunny Knight is a devout believer. After years of research, he found that stripping down is a rare branch of the Holy Light.

Ai Xueli's face turned pale, this guy was insulting Holy Light again!

Holy Light is not your underpants!

What was even more distressing to Ai Xueli was that Arthur's votes were surprisingly high, with many young women casting their votes for him.

It used low magic power,

And now wearing a short skirt wasn't a flashing hazard.

It was more cost-effective than the Anti-Wolf Spell.

The majority of the boys, however, showed expressions of disgust towards Arthur,

Why would you invent such an annoying spell!

Black magic!
