By the way, I'm not trying to be antagonistic IC.

It's just that from the point of view of the Nasuverse's lore that we are aware of, everything Hifumi heard so far is nothing other than absurd.

- Illusionism is a blatantly weak style of magic in the Nasuverse because of the way magic works here. As well as hw magi resist to other's magic.

- Memory alteration magic is a parlor trick for magi. Countering it is just as simple as countering any other kind of external magic influence. If you are good enough to be a family head you should be able to deal with magic of all but someone worth the title of Brand or Grand and even then, over the course of time, the spell would grow weak and be countered automatically by your magic.

- Dark Magics (which I suppose are things like witchcraft, and curses) is something so unimportant to European magi that the Mages Association doesn't even teaches people about these subjects, only of general ways of countering them if need be. The Middle Eastern and Far Eastern magecraft traditions are light years ahead of Europe when it comes to these subjects.

These three things are so basic that a properly trained mage like Hifumi, couldn't help but feel flabbergasted by the idea that anyone would take the Greys seriously because of this.
