"Mr. Bloed, can you tell about the thing that you call 'Security Cara'?" Headmistress Wave asked with a serious expression.
Bloed was stunned. He could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"Why are you interested in it?"
Wave hesitated for a mont before smiling wryly.
"You know what happened two days ago in the city, right? The truth is that right now, the city's situation is very delicate. Many people are waiting for an opportunity to damage the city, and I need an effective thod to find them."
"So you thought about using caras, huh."
"Yes. According to what you told , Security Caras allow you to keep an eye on a place and store images about what happens there. If I can install caras around the entire city, then won't it be easier to find the people that I want to find?"
Bloed smiled wryly.
He was rather surprised that Headmistress Wave had the sa idea as him.
However, he soon found it normal.
After all, Headmistress Wave was very smart. If he could think about sothing, she most likely could think about it as well.
As for why the headmistress knew about caras? Well, Bloed had told her a bit about it in one of their conversations.
Since the day the two accorded to share information about magic and technology, the two had talked about a lot of topics. Bloed rembered ntioning caras once.
Of course, he did not tell her about his plan to install caras around the entire city and only ntioned briefly their function. He did not expect the Headmistress to rember it so clearly.
The problem was
" Why should I do it, Headmistress? You should know how valuable my technology is. Why should I help you?"
The headmistress did not reply imdiately. Instead, she used her caral-colored eyes to look at Bloed fixedly.
Finally, she tapped the desk twice and told him her proposal.
"I can support your goal."
Bloed flinched.
But one second later, he narrowed his eyes.
" My goal? I don't rember telling you about it, Headmistress."
"You didn't need to. I deduced it after observing you for a while."
Bloed was stunned and put on a confused expression.
"I don't understand. What do you an?"
Wave rolled her eyes.
"Boy, do you think I have lived so long for nothing? I can see it in your eyes clearly. When you talk about your mother or technology, you sound so passionate and your eyes shine brightly, as though you are proud of sothing.
"If I'm not wrong, you want to make your mother's legacy known to the world, right?"
Bloed did not reply and just stayed silent.
"I don't know the specifics, boy." The headmistress continued. "But I think that my guess is pretty close. Actually, I'm also interested in this goal. From the things that you have told , I can't help but anticipate how the world would change if your technology is spread everywhere."
Bloed looked at the headmistress and sighed.
He did not expect the headmistress to notice his goal, but after thinking for a while, he did not think that it was necessarily a bad thing.
Since the start, his goal was to spread the Human Confederation's technology to the world, and he knew that he could not do it by himself.
If he wanted to do it, he needed the support of soone influential.
The problem was that Bloed's considered the Human Confederation's technology as his mother's legacy. He did not want to stain it with blood and make it the cause of war and suffering.
That limited his options greatly. Most organizations or countries that learned about that technology would unavoidably try to use it to get more power, money, and influence.
That was normal, but that was not what Bloed wanted.
Until now, Bloed only knew of two organizations that could be different.
One of them was the Church of Fate, and the other was Academy City.
Unfortunately, the Church of Fate's goal was to protect the world. It did not seem like the kind of organization that could support Bloed's dreams.
Academy City, on the other hand, was another story.
Of course, Bloed was not so nave as to think that his technology would never be used in war. The Human Confederation's history was the best example. For generations, many of the greatest discoveries and technological advancents were the result of trying to create better and most effective weapons.
But at the very least, Academy City was a neutral place where the four races lived in relative peace. If he spread technology here, then there was a high chance it would spread to the four races simultaneously.
That way, if none of the four races had an edge in technology, none of them could use it to overwhelm the others.
It was a result that Bloed considered acceptable.
Taking that into account, Headmistress Wave and her city were the best options if he wanted to spread technology around the world.
In fact, he was planning to talk to Headmistress Wave about it eventually; but not so soon.
After thinking for a mont, Bloed looked at Headmistress Wave for several seconds before letting out a deep breath.
"What is your proposal, Headmistress?"
"I can give you the resources you need to spread the legacy of your mother around the world. Moreover, I can support your goal completely. However, it must be used for the benefit of Academy City first. That is my only condition."
