Ever since the birth of the Aeons was first recorded, one cloud has hung over the scholarly world throughout countless Amber Eras:
Did the birth of the Aeons create the Paths, or did the birth of the Paths choose the Aeons?
Of course, for Dr. Ratio, solving this question takes no time at all.
Because...
[Traveler, please stop for a moment. Do you acknowledge that Veritas Ratio's wisdom is unrivaled throughout the world?]

Higher-dimensional beings who revere him as a god flock to him in droves, and the immense power of their faith pushes him onto the Path of "■■."
At the edge of the dimensions, Dr. Ratio seeks the curvature of time at the boundary between reality and the Imaginary, mastering the laws that allow him to travel backward through time.
This time, he finally returns to the point he has calculated over and over again, facing once more that Tsygonian slave who speaks honeyed words while hiding a dagger.
“In the future, you will steal the thing most precious to me, then cast it aside as if it were worthless.”
So what now, Professor?
Will you judge me in the present for a crime I have yet to commit?
Shadow falls across the Tsygonian's mottled irises.
“So, you have two choices now. Inherit your own astronomical fortune from the future, including what belongs to me, and buy out your contract with the Company.”
“Or become my teacher and keep my most precious thing safe for me. The Company will willingly (be forced to) release you from your contract.”
Then teach me how I can stand beside you.
Aventurine: ?
What kind of hot potato is this, that he absolutely has to hand it to him?
