"Noah, Supreme Sorcerer!" Wong looked at Noah with deep dissatisfaction. "Even if you established the High Council, at least look at these documents, please! You are the Supreme Sorcerer!"
"I get it, I get it! This is such a pain!" Noah stared at the massive stack of files on his desk, his expression disgruntled. After a long moment, he sighed. "I'll handle them. But I'm warning you-do not bring another single document in here, or I'll definitely throw you into the Mirror Dimension!"
Wong rolled his eyes. He didn't bother arguing. He turned around and left the office.
Silence returned once more.
Noah stared blankly at the files in front of him. With no choice left, he opened them and began reading, page by page.
As Wong had said, this was his responsibility. The duty of the Supreme Sorcerer.
He had to do it properly.
All of the documents concerned the aftermath of the Great Battle of Planet Dawn. The issues varied in scale, but every single one required his personal attention. Much of the content was tied directly to the recent war, and many of the regulations referenced were ones Noah himself had created.
No matter how lazy he felt, he couldn't hide. He had to see the results with his own eyes.
Unfortunately, Noah truly wasn't the type to enjoy messy administrative work. After sitting there for only a short time, he already felt unbearably bored.
To be honest, he preferred causing trouble somewhere else to sitting behind a desk. He glanced at the reports and shook his head.
This was probably just life.
Since returning from Planet Dawn, this had become his reality. And now, Noah actually missed the time he had spent there.
Planet Dawn was where the allied forces of Asgard, the mages, and Earth's ordinary humans had crushed Thanos's army and the Kree forces under his command.
It had originally been a nameless planet. It earned that name because of the Great Battle.
After that conflict, the Milky Way-and even the entire universe-was rid of a terrifying existence. In every sense, it was a new dawn for all life in the cosmos.
For Earth's people, the battle also revealed just how small they were in the vast universe. But since they had taken their first step beyond Earth, the future was something worth anticipating.
For them, it was a dawn. A light illuminating the road ahead.
For the mages, the greatest shock came from watching Noah nearly crush the entire Kree army alone, using the power of Light.
They were deeply curious about how the Supreme Sorcerer could wield such terrifying magic. That confusion gradually faded as the spell called "Domain" spread through the magical world. Since this magic required the fusion of magical elements, it no longer seemed strange that the Supreme Sorcerer could control them.
They also learned one more thing.
The "Domain" spell would become the guiding light for mages moving forward.
That, too, was a dawn.
In truth, neither the Asgardian warriors, the mages, nor the ordinary human soldiers realized that the naming of Planet Dawn was far simpler than they imagined.
Thor and the others just thought Noah's magic was too bright. When it came time to name the planet, they leaned in that direction. Combined with the fact that Thanos's death truly marked a new beginning for the universe, the nameless planet gained its official title.
"Is it really okay to name it something so simple?"
"Don't you think it's great? You made it so bright-it's only natural. And besides, isn't this a new dawn?"
Noah had questioned Thor halfheartedly. After hearing that answer, he could only sigh.
Thor's reasoning made sense. There was no way to refute it.
And honestly, Noah liked the name.
After Noah, Thor, and the others eliminated the various versions of Thanos, and after Noah personally delivered a devastating blow to the Kree army, everything else became simple.
Even so, it still took nearly two days for the allied forces to completely wipe out the remaining Kree.
Then came the celebration.
That revelry left Noah dizzy. As one of the absolute protagonists, he was toasted so relentlessly that he could barely find his way back.
Even now, remembering it made him shudder. He knew his alcohol tolerance was terrible, but he hadn't expected to drink until he threw up.
"I think it's better not to drink in the future."
Pushing the documents aside, Noah had zero desire to look at them anymore.
After a brief pause, he pulled out his phone and casually opened a spatial gate. Several newspapers dropped onto his desk.
They were from the magical world.
Many mages still preferred physical newspapers. They weren't used to images that didn't move or speak. As a result, the habit of reading print had been preserved. Of course, if they were busy, they would just check the news on their phones.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, had long since adapted to reading everything digitally. Noah didn't need papers from them.
"A Battle for Justice! A Sacred War! The Dawn War of Ordinary Humans Stepping into the Interstellar Age!"
Noah picked up a newspaper from the ordinary world and started reading. Compared to the magical world's papers, it was easier to just scroll on his phone.
He could already guess what the magical papers would say. He wanted to see how ordinary people were framing things.
Because of the Dawn War, the magical world had become more familiar-and more appealing-to ordinary people over the past five years.
Noah had always been thinking about how to integrate the two worlds more smoothly. This battle was clearly a turning point.
Not only had ordinary soldiers fought alongside mages, they had also stood shoulder to shoulder with Asgardian warriors from the stars.
Five years of living and working together-though in different regions-had kept their relationships fairly stable.
With that in mind, Noah continued scrolling.
"This war was a glorious defensive struggle. Under the leadership of the strongest mage in the magical world, the King of the alien kingdom of Asgard, and the leaders of various nations, we achieved a brilliant victory. We crushed the evil alien army, secured the safety of the universe, and defended our home..."
Noah smiled faintly.
It seemed that, despite Fury's contributions, the mainstream Western media had no intention of focusing on him.
That was understandable.
Fury's warning had bypassed official channels entirely, triggering a massive collapse in Western economies and widespread panic early on.
If people hadn't later realized that the war was going well, that they were being protected, and that the real economy had actually grown, the financial shock might have crippled several nations.
In contrast, newspapers from the East were far more pragmatic. They had their own emphasis, but they stuck closer to the facts. At the very least, Fury was mentioned.
Noah also noticed that these papers placed significant importance on mages. That aligned perfectly with his own thinking.
Seeing large sections devoted to mages-almost entirely positive-made him quite satisfied.
There was no talk of "Dark Mages" or similar nonsense. Instead, the articles were full of praise, discussing how ordinary people could coexist with mages in this world.
That was only natural.
The gap between mages and ordinary humans was enormous. This war had made that painfully clear. People already knew from footage of New York's destruction and the magical reversal that followed.
Now, they understood something more.
Mages weren't just terrifyingly powerful. Their numbers were far beyond expectation.
Ordinary people had essentially accepted that mages were completely beyond their ability to oppose. Any malicious intent would only invite disaster.
At the same time, they confirmed something else.
Mages lived comfortably in their own world. Though they shared the Earth, they had no intention of ruling their neighbors. They were curious about the ordinary world, but mostly as visitors.
Tourists.
As a result, the most discussed topics became how to accommodate mage tourism and how to coexist peacefully.
After skimming through, Noah reached a conclusion.
The magical world and the ordinary world were making contact.
As for full integration, that would take time. But the foundation was there.
"Turning the entire Earth into a magical civilization and merging technology with magic will take a long time," Noah thought, rubbing his chin. "But time isn't a problem for me."
He put down his phone, glanced cautiously at the closed door, and finally picked up the newspapers from the magical world.
