Supremacy Games

Felix stopped thinking about those eerie lifeforms and threw a weird question, "Why aren't you partnering up with the Half-Serpent Race to create a similar inducement as mine or something like that?"

Felix realized that if materials made out of laws were useless against the dark substance then it was possible to simply rely on other races to solve this issue for the witches.

After all, a witch could sign a partnership contract with a Half-Serpent and he would be responsible for slowing the dark substance's march while the witch focuses on the concoction.

"From your perspective, it's only logical to ask for help if we reached a dead-end." Queen Allura sighed, "But, you forgot to mention that the witches have pride that rivals Dragons. They will never accept help in their concoction from another race publicly."

Felix's eyelids twitched at her reasoning but he couldn't find fault with it.

He already knew that witches were too proud before he even attended the academy.

"The lases in the Academy have their pride reigned in by the teachers since they can always scold them and correct their mistakes." Queen Allura said, "However, for senior witches, who started working as potioneers, their pride would keep growing each day they see how their potions are being fought for and the hundreds of people waiting in queue to get a potion of their making."

Felix realized that she was right. Master Witches were treated with respect by even kings and emperors. As for Grandmasters and Sages?

They were literally being worshipped and protected like some rare species. Even Elder Dragons have nothing to hold against them since those Sages could move armies of foreign races with a wave of a hand.

Just a single promise to concoction a three-star rank 5 potion would do the trick.

So, how could those witches allow other races to help them in potion concoction publicly?

'If they can't do so publicly, they still can do it privately.' Felix's eyes widened as he reached a shocking conclusion.

Seeing his reaction made Queen Allura chuckle faintly, "A bit shameless right?"

"Not really." Felix shrugged his shoulders, "If both parties agreed to the terms of the contract, there is no shame in it."

In other meaning, Felix felt that if both parties were benefitting from the experience, then it was acceptable.

The witches receive a boost in concoction while keeping their reputation intact while the helping party receives a percentage of the profit from the concoction in secret.

"You sure are interesting to think of it this way." Queen Allura raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Unbeknownst to her, Felix thought like that because he was also in the same situation.

All of his achievements wouldn't be possible without Asna and the primogenitors' help. Yet, they remain hidden in the shadows.

So, he simply didn't want to be hypocritical about himself.
