"Now then, allow me to ask again," Theo turned to the head maid who somehow managed to stay still throughout the ordeal. "Who do you think is going to pay your wages now?"
Theo relaxed his hand, letting go of the magical sigil.
The moment the control structure of it dispersed in the air, the world's mana controlled by it simply returned to its usual state, as if nothing ever happened.
The head maid swallowed hard, her face slightly sunken.
"It's… you, sir…?"
Theo smiled and nodded his head.
"That's right. Now, go get this whole place cleaned up. The farce is over."
Sweeping the cloth of his robe to the back, Theo turned on the spot before walking out of the room, leaving the stunned maid behind. Walking down the hallway, he had a moment to think, only to get straight back to work the moment he left the inner corridor.
"Where did my students go?" Stepping out, Theo asked, not directing his question towards anyone in particular.
