Lieselotte, Lilith and others in “Dark Mage and Big Event”

I'm sure that you're aware that every mage ultimately wants to become a Demon Lord. So shouldn't it follow that any one of us will do whatever it takes to become a candidate?

That's true, but you are supposed to research your thema first.

Why would I waste time doing that? I'd rather jump straight to the finish line, like Mister Demon Lord candidate over here. Skip all the boring process stuff and get straight to the results. It's just the way I like to do things, you know.

Well, I've always been a fan of shortcuts.

Totally, right?

What? Arata?

I'm with you, I don't like going to too much trouble. If there's an easier way to get to the end I'm always going to choose that option. However, you've done more than that. I don't really like stealing magic, it just seems wrong to me.
