The bird stopped on the creature earlier because it completely concealed its breath, not moving at all, seamlessly merging with nature. Achieving such a level requires extremely high concealment skills. However, upon noticing the Headmaster's gaze, its body trembled due to the sudden fright, causing the bird perched on it to realize it was a living being and fly away.

Headmaster Baron, refined over past years, possessed a remarkably sharp sense. He faintly sensed something observing him from a distance, reflexively gazing in the direction of the source. However, this only startled the birds without yielding any discovery.

"I'm really getting old... starting to become dull," he mused.

In truth, the observer's judgment was entirely accurate. Choosing to flee immediately would undoubtedly have alerted the Headmaster. So, slowly, they lowered the Telescope, revealing a smile concealed beneath the dark robe, along with what seemed to be an animal skull. Finally, while everyone's attention was fixed on the procession, they discreetly left Grandecy.

After inspecting the academy, Anwar arrived at the Technical Research Institute. The ground of the Research Institute was a large, spacious indoor area, usually open to the public. It showcased remarkable past works and portraits of successive researchers adorned the walls, all of whom had made outstanding contributions to Homeland.

At the end was a custom-made gate, accessible only to researchers. Beyond the gate, a passage connected to the underground where laboratories and all crucial research materials and items were situated.

The ground exhibition hall was livelier than usual; today, all researchers gathered here, prepared to welcome the king who was visiting for inspection.

"Your Majesty, welcome to the Technical Research Institute," the speaker, wearing glasses and exuding a friendly smile, began. From his cheek to his chin, he sported a thin beard, giving an impression of maturity and reliability. He was none other than the current Director of the Technical Research Institute, Vork.

Twice a year, Vork reported to Anwar, mainly detailing the progress of research and outlining future plans. And during the annual celebration, he would meet with all researchers collectively. Anwar always looked forward to these meetings, as they never failed to bring him surprises, and this time was no exception.

"Your Majesty, this is the most significant achievement of the year, the Slow Motion Potion, classified as a level-two hazardous substance," Vork presented several bottles of the potion, capturing Anwar's attention.
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgoH483pXz
"Slow Motion Potion? A drug that slows down time?" Anwar asked curiously, and Vork patiently continued explaining.
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CU51T6jRE
The Slow Motion Potion is a type of elixir that temporarily enhances vision and hearing. Those who consume it experience a sense of time passing more slowly, enabling them to easily capture fast-moving visual details or hear sounds that are normally extremely brief. However, it requires substantial mental and physical support; otherwise, users risk entering a state resembling time suspension, leading to mental breakdown. Hence, its danger level is classified as level two.

Anwar was astonished by their creation of such a powerful yet dangerous item and proceeded to inquire about future progress.

"Next, I'll hand it over to Zinchel for the report."

A lean and somber-faced young man stepped forward from beside Vork. Two scars extended vertically from the corners of his mouth to his chin, resembling the wooden boy puppet from puppet shows.
506Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxs6nfggaG
Zinchel was Vork's most trusted assistant, remarkably talented in research—largely inherited from his father, Deka, who was Vork's mentor and the previous Director of the Technical Research Institute.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the plans developed over three years are gradually taking shape. They are…" Zinchel began reporting on two entirely new inventions.
