Madison officially assumed the position of leader of the Mystic Arts Alliance, with Logan handling the arrangements on behalf of the government.
Logan led Madison in taking the oath under the flag. Afterward, he brought out a specially crafted badge. "This will serve as the official badge for the office from now on."
Madison accepted the badge and pinned it to her chest.
Logan then accompanied her to meet various leaders and introduced her.
After the introductions, he turned to her and said, "Since the office has now been established, shouldn't we discuss the basic rules and regulations for its operation? Specifically, the ones that fall under the scope of the law."
The members of Mystic Arts Alliance instantly straightened in their seats. This was a topic of significant concern for them.
The world of mystic arts was distant from the regular world. Naturally, it had its unique aspects that called for special considerations.
The government officials on Logan's side all smiled knowingly.
After all, the Mystic Arts Alliance members were still citizens of the nation. As citizens, they had to abide by the same laws as everyone else. Nobody could be above the law.
Though both sides smiled outwardly, there was an unmistakable undercurrent of tension in their eyes, hinting at a battle of wits.
Seven days later, the members of the Mystic Arts Alliance emerged from the office feeling utterly drained. Each of them held a booklet titled "99 Regulations for the Office of Non-Scientific Affairs".
Initially, the regulations had exceeded a hundred points, but the Mystic Arts Alliance members, highly sensitive to numbers, felt that 99 was more fitting for their identity and managed to trim it down.
Holding the booklet, Erwin glanced up at the blinding sun and murmured to himself, "Master, the Mystic Arts Alliance has been preserved."
However, the other members of the Mystic Arts Alliance looked far less optimistic.
"Do we really have to follow all these rules?"
"How is this any different from before?"
"Even if we comply, will the others agree to this?"
