At the end of the tenth month, the trap training was over. Now they had the last two months ahead of them, and Mia began to give them the training that was most important, that might save their lives or give them a good reward.Tracking. The purpose of this training was not only to track down creatures or other humans, but also to understand what the ruins they would be entering were like, how to access clean resources or treasures in these ruins, and most importantly, how to explore these ruins.For Mia, the ruins came in three different structures. The first was the Human Ruins. It contained the ruins that warriors and mages left for the future and lived in the past. Most of these ruins were classified as dangerous, and it was strongly recommended that they seek assistance from the White City before entering. Mia explained that such ruins were very easy to recognize and that the ruins of warriors could be recognized by certain architectural structures. The same was true for mages.T
Andre and Lent, unlike Fabian, looked at William as if he were a chemical weapon. They knew that William was the best of the seven mages, they had heard of the chaos he caused when he became an official mage, and they wanted a piece of this genius' cake. Maybe they could discover a new ruin thanks to him and win a big reward.When Andre, one of the duo, thought that the look between Fabian and the duo was getting longer and longer, he could not stand it anymore and coughed. They felt that these stares had reached a dead end, and William even began to suffer.Andre, dressed in baggy clothes, lifted his wide sleeves and coughed heavily.This cough brought William to his senses, and he took the opportunity to look at Andre and Lent.'It felt like I had just been trapped in eternity!' William thought as he examined the other two team captains he was seeing for the first time.Andre's baggy clothes were decorated with various cloud patterns. His short, blue-tinted hair and the small blue e
Two mages came into William's line of sight, both in second rank. Both of them were holding long, thick wands. In the middle of these wands was a blue stone. Although its color was a bit lighter, closer to turquoise, William recognized it as a 'Water Stone'. Such stones were common, but not so large and light in color.The two mages came to the center of the garden and raised their wands in the air. They chanted spells at the same time, and a light emerged from the top of the staff and shot into the sky. Then there was a huge explosion in the sky and it started to rain. This rain was not normal. William took a drop and tasted it. 'The nutritional value is very high!'It was also full of mana. If you wanted to grow a magic plant, this water, this rain, was the best tonic, though not indispensable. The rain that fell in a short time created a rainbow. Even though there was sun in the sky, it continued to rain, and even the flowers in the garden, whose leaves were about to fade, immediat
When the apprentices brought the captured Rasha to Patza, they waited at the door for more than half an hour. Patza was in deep meditation, and deep meditation was generally a state of mind that mages did not want to leave.After the door opened, Flacci personally carried Rasha in on his back, accompanied by a third-rank apprentice and two second-rank apprentices. Patza was not alone inside either. There were three of them in total, including two official mages. While the two looked like they had just reached the official mage level, Patza was at the peak. William could sense that his strength was even weaker than Malise's.'An ordinary person.' William thought. But Patza's tone was that of a classic villain.Hoarse, nasal, phlegmy words spread through the room. "Why didn't you kill him?"Flacci took an immediate step forward. "Sir, they said they already informed the White City. That's why we brought her here for you to interrogate.""Well done, you did well." Patza turned his head a
The earth element mage nodded. Then he leaned forward a bit and began to speak."One day, Farno came to us and said that he had encountered something very strange...""Stop, stop, stop! Wait a minute, say your name first." Unable to bear it, William interrupted the mage. Since he didn't even know his name, he didn't want there to be any misunderstanding when he addressed him later. After all, some people's IQ levels - like Patza's - fluctuated. So he thought it was important for him to know his name."Gento ... my name is Gento...""Okay, Gento, go on explaining." William smiled.Gento continued his story, afraid of William's smile. "...In those days, we sold the metals we extracted from the mines in bulk to the towers. Farno was one of the few apprentices who did this job. Even though I was an apprentice with him at the time and did that job."William interrupted Gento again. "Tell me a little bit more briefly. Get to the point.""O-Okay." Gento shook his head in surprise and continu
Patza remembered his past. He had an ordinary family in the White City. Of the three siblings, Patza was the only one with the talent to become a mage. His father was a merchant, and that's how he earned Soul Stones. He spent almost all of the soul stones he earned on Patza. Patza began to train with another apprentice to become a mage, giving all the money his father earned each month to the apprentice who was training him. He entered the magic world with a few spells and a simple meditation technique and was extremely successful. After becoming a second-rank apprentice, he left the White City and joined a caravan. He spent decades traveling to various cities and meeting points, eventually returning to the White City as an official mage.When he returned, he could not find his family in the same house or shop. His father and mother had already died of old age. His siblings were separated, and he had no relatives left in the White City. His younger sister worked as a waiter in a small
The flower was almost three meters in diameter, and the frog took up half of the flower. This frog, which was a meter and a half wide, was slightly different from the frogs William was used to in his previous world.It had hard skin, like a lizard, but its belly was soft. Its hind legs were webbed and long, like a normal frog, while its front legs were long, jointed, with claws designed for killing and grasping things.Its eyes were protruding and horizontal, just like a normal frog's, while its mouth had an awful lot of teeth. That was why William couldn't compare this creature to a frog. It looked more like a lizard that could jump. Its size gave no indication of the power of this creature. Its real power came from its ability to cast magic. It could use its tongue like a whip, not like normal frogs. Moreover, since its front claws were very good at grasping things, it had no trouble pulling the target it was holding with its tongue. Most of the time, [Bearded Frog] would be the win
Gento still didn't feel that it was enough, so he moved a few hundred meters away. From here, he could see William and the huge shadow over the pond.Although William was a little worried, he realized that there was no need to be afraid as soon as the creature entered his field of perception."BOOOOOOMM!" Meanwhile, the female frog landed on the pond. William ran away from where the frog had fallen at the last moment and stopped fifty meters away.He examined the newly arrived female frog. 'The magnificence of nature!' William thought.Almost every part of the frog's body and skin, except for its beard, was a copy of the male frog. Only the female frog had no beard. Therefore, its name was already [Beardless Frog]. They deliberately did not give it a name because if they had, it would have been an insult to its great beauty.Of course, the only difference between a female frog and a male frog was not the beard. The most obvious difference was their size. The smallest female frog egg w
