I went quiet for a second. Something about this... felt familiar. This guy... frantically looking for something. I shook it off, I'd never met him once in my life. Stop acting silly, Joe.

I didn't know the answer to the question, but, there was something that I could say for certain. "I don't know, but I wouldn't trust them. Something about all of this... it feels off. I mean, I hope that all of this is going to go for the best, but... there's no real good reason to go around teaching people magic. They can say that it's to benefit humanity as a whole... however, it would cut into their profit margins. They would gradually begin losing private contracts with cities to keep them safe since private citizens would be able to deal with pests on such a scale that it would no longer be necessary to hire outside help, and other private companies would be able to get a hold of those with magic to begin taking away business. Offering just as effective service as they do at a far lower price with fewer mercenaries. If we were to try to leave with what we know now, knowing that it's not a bunch of empty promises made by them... I don't think it would end well for us."
