Aikon Corporation Headquarters, Runepolis

"With this, our agreement is concluded, I am looking forward for your future endeavors."

"Of course."

Inside an office in the building, Robin shook hands with the CEO of this company, the Aikon Corporation, a major manufacturer of computing devices and magic communication equipment. Earlier this month, Aikon Corporation took interest in the development of portable calculators and approached RMA. As a response, RMA sent Robin as their representative to sign a contract with the Aikon Corporation that they would receive the sales rights in exchange for a percentage of the profit to the RMA. In addition, the RMA will jointly develop a new communication device with the Aikon Corporation, which has a superior production equipment in that field. Several employees of the company have already been loaned to RMA for training, and production lines will be up and running within several weeks.

"Well then, I shall take my leave. Good day, Mr. President." Robin said, and left the office.

-----------------------

After exiting the building, Robin was greeted by Meteos, who was tagging along, and a tall man with a gentlemanly appearance.

"How was it, Miss Robin?"

"It went well." Robin answered, and turned to the man, "Grisha, take us to the harbor next."

"What are you doing in the harbor?" The man, Grisha, asked.

"We're going to check a new shipment of magic stones from Parpaldia today. Alright, let's get going!"

The three walked into a car driven by Grisha and departed for the harbor.

"Magic stones from Parpaldia, huh? That's unusual." From the driver's seat, Grisha commented.

The relationship between the Holy Milishial Empire and the Parpaldia Empire, the Third Civilization superpower, while not as amicable with Mu, they are not hostile to each other. However, Milishial limits trade with Parpaldia to the common trade goods, as they don't want to be associated too much with an aggressive nation like Parpaldia. This includes trading magic stones.

He can already picture the Parpaldians bragging about how 'the strongest superpower finally noticed the superiority of Parpaldian magic stone'. How troublesome.

This time, in order to further develop the magic torpedo, the RMA Shipbuilding Department has ordered several crates of Tears of the Wind God from Parpaldia Empire for testing. Since Parpaldian Tears of the Wind God boasts the highest quality in the known world, the RMA engineers wanted to see if using them can result in better fuel efficiency, which results in reduction of the area required for fuel and the increase of explosives for a stronger magic torpedo.

"Well, it's for research purposes." Meteos shrugged.

As he glanced at the boy sitting behind him from the rearview mirror, Grisha thought.

Meteos Roguerider made a name for himself in the Runepolis Magic Academy and became a talk among the staff for his recent breakthrough in the development of computer technology, and he was transferred to the school via invitation after he and his friend showed Robin a conductive magnetic radar. He is a bit bummed by the fact that his friend Robin already taken him as a future apprentice, but he doubted that Meteos would accept his offer if Grisha were to offer him apprenticeship as part of the requirements of advancing in rank to the Advanced Mage. He is a doctor and a professor of the Medicine Department, while Meteos wanted to become an engineer. Their fields are too different. Well, he had to admit, Meteos is better off with Robin. What's more, Robin also taken two other Student Mages under her wing, where other Mages would mostly take one. Are they very talented? He's envious.
