On the wall of the special exhibition room at the end of the entrance hall hangs ten paintings, each measuring about one meter in length and 140 centimeters in width.

The contents are the life of Adriana Barbora Zetsi, the first "Magecraft Meister" of the Magecraft Institute.

The pictures can be viewed from left to right in the form of a story.

The description was written by Jin, Reiko, and Vivian. The old man was the one who polished the description.

"First of all, you are the generation before Adriana Barbora Zetsi.

"The previous generation?"

"Yes, that's right. The one you all know from ...... is Shuki Tsetsi, the <>."

"Oh!　So this is the Wise One.

"This is how he looks like ...... or perhaps it's half-imagined, but it's exactly how I imagined ...... him to look."

"It's ...... a pleasant surprise to know about the <> as well."

Of course, the three who voiced their excitement were Ataru Mutu, the current chief from Mitsuho, Tein Miyabe, the Mitsuho representative to the World Congress, and Kouki Katou, the Chief Technical Administrator.

"First of all, the first one ...... is young Shuki Tsetsi-dono ...... when he was not yet called <>. Next to him is his companion, Adriana Tierra."

"Tierra?　You're not Barbora?

Yes. <

"Oh, ......"

That makes sense.

Jin did not explain that she was his adopted daughter.

"The second one is ......<, Shuki Tsetsi and his disciples, and the young Adriana Barbora Tsetsi, isn't it?"

And the young Adriana Barbora Tsetsi?

Tierra is dead.

Oh, my God, I didn't know that.

"The Wise One, Shuki Tsezi, traveled around with the little one."

"I see."

"The third picture is a slightly grown-up Shuki Tsezi, and Shuki Tsezi as an educator."

"Hmm, he opened a classroom and took disciples, didn't he?"

"At that time, the old Leonard Kingdom still existed, didn't it?

Everyone seems to be very interested in the pictures and the explanations.

"The fourth picture is the standing alone after the death of . < gave Adriana the title of before his death."

He dares not mention the place.

And no one in the audience asked any specific questions about it.

He probably thinks that it was so long ago that it is not clear.

"The fifth picture is Adriana Barbora Zetsi, who visited the northern part of ...... what we now call the . It seems that she stayed there for quite a long time and studied the that were there and further developed her skills."

"Oh, I see... ...... our <>..."

So that's why the legends remain.

"So our ancestors raised the level of the first magical engineer, the Magecraft Meister."

< looked deeply moved.

"The sixth picture is of a pilgrimage to various countries. In the places they visited, they took on apprentices like and trained the next generation."

"Oh, I didn't know that."

"...... But why are there so few of these accomplishments left?"

"Please see the seventh page. ......The church came to recruit the first generation. ......<

"...... is terrible."

"I sense a twisted desire to be good only to themselves."

"In the eighth picture, we avoid such a world and head west, arriving at what is now called Mitzvah. There, the first generation was welcomed by those who remembered him and spent about 20 years there.

"Oh!"

"So that's why our country still has the footprints of the <>!"

The three from Mitsuho are overjoyed.

"In the ninth picture, the first generation who left Mitsuho is visiting the countries once more. He found that church-affiliated mages were prevailing and that the common people who could not use magic were oppressed. There were also countries where golems were taking away jobs and unemployment was overflowing."

"......"

"......... I think that would be a misgovernance."

"I agree. The leadership should be blamed for only spreading it.

"I agree. I agree with you.

"...... I think that the false idea that the Golem created poverty has spread, and the achievements of the first generation have been buried in darkness.

"Yes, that is a possibility."

"Of course, that may not be the only reason, but there are many things to reflect on.

This point seemed to have made the heads of state think about it.

Seeing this, Jin felt that it was a good thing that this special exhibition room had been created.

"The tenth and last picture is the first generation in seclusion. At this point, it seems that , the prototype of Reiko, was created."

Jin reminded her, "I will not tell you where she went into seclusion.

His personal life itself is a separate matter from his accomplishments as the first Magecraft Meister," Jin said.

And the same is true for the gravesite of Shuki Tsezi.

"Well, Mr. Jin, you have done a great job in telling us about the footprints of <> and the first generation. It gave me a lot to think about.

"Indeed. We are not fools either, Mr. Jin. We have no intention of making the same mistake and making you leave us.

"That's right, that's right. <

"That's exactly what I mean. I have enjoyed it very much."

The heads of state expressed their understanding and approval of Jin's words.

Hearing these words, Elsa and Reiko also felt relieved.

* * * * * * * * *

Let's go to the next room.

After waiting for everyone's excitement to subside a little, Jin called out to them.

"This time, we are going to the exhibition hall of the dawn of time.

We then went to the next room on the right. It was a smaller room than the special exhibition room.

"This is the room of the Wise Master Magus.

"Oh!"

The happy shouts came from the people of Mitsuho, as I expected.

"I have tried to summarize as much as possible of your footsteps and accomplishments.

"It seems so. ...... Hmmm... I'm afraid we don't know his country of birth."

"Unfortunately."

On the front wall, there is a map of the world with the paths of the "Footprints of Magus the Wise".

His birthplace is unknown. It is only natural that he was born and raised in Japan, the same place as Jin.

The footprints that appear in the history are shown, while hiding such information that cannot be disclosed to the public.

"I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see... I see...

"He taught and guided many of his disciples and ...... therefore he is called <> ......."

Of course, some parts are blurred, but the information is reasonably accurate.

The guests looked at the map with great interest.
