### The Magecraft Academy

He was talking to Magius and meets Chiyuki for the second time. Magius suggested a tea party with Gadofes, Chiyuki, Trivet and other magi. Sabina enters with her disciples and encounters them. He has a tea session with Chiyuki, Magius and Sabina. Sabina and Gadofes have a light exchange instead of greetings. Chiyuki sits in the same seat with Magius, Gadofes, and Sabina.

He told Khepler that Kuroki is present in Saria.

When Kuroki drew the symbol on the black board with white chalk, he recognised it as the holy symbol of Lasa.

He attended the Wiseman Committee. Gadofes asked Kyouka about the intruder's identity. He and Magius nods in agreement that besides from Chiyuki, everybody else will slow Kuroki down.

Gadofes laughs and amused that the intruders relating to the Zalxis Cult are plotting something in the forbidden achieves. Gadofes looks at Yaga and asked for her Yaga's powers of divination. Gadofes then takes out a smoking pipe and asked Khepler whether he agrees with him that Saria is safe with Kuroki assisting them.

Gadofes was defending Saria against the undead at a different location than Khepler.
