'They're on completely different levels...'
"Dean, I have another question."
"Hmm?"
"The people from Research Institute No. 66 aren't here this time. Their project on 'The Fusion and Modification of the Undead and Machinery'..."
Dean Josue felt his throat tighten, his voice laced with annoyance. "Is that your question? Even if that project yields results, it could never compare to the other report. I have to wonder what your motive is for bringing this up."
"Your Excellency, I am merely concerned about Director Wei'en, who just joined our Research Center." The Great Mage chuckled softly. "It's been so long, and he hasn't even shown his face. One has to wonder..."
"That is not your concern!"
"I..."
"Scotty, the director is highly talented and very young. He just joined the Research Center; it's not even certain if the project has begun. Your demands are putting the Dean in a difficult position, don't you see?"
"Indeed, Great Mage Scotty. You're in the wrong here."
