William did not return home for three days. When the young mage in the library heard that William was going to copy everything, he was overjoyed and begged William to keep quiet. He copied books for three days and told none of his friends that he had received such a commission. It took him a while to copy nearly five hundred books because he had to empty and renew his mana four times.When William returned home, he immediately began to categorize and separate the spells and magic books. He only had the Fire and Wind books, so he didn't have much trouble. The next day, Malise's steward brought William the books he wanted to buy. In total, there were nearly a thousand spells and a little less than two hundred magic books.William immediately chose the first spell he had to choose, the spell that would help him the most, which was extremely simple but also useful.[Haste]This spell wasn't fancy like most movement spells. You could cast this spell with any element, but the effect would b
"Because you are cheating."Yvette looked at William with amusement. "On what basis do you say that?"William was angry. He didn't want to continue the game. "Because every punch I hit or you hit steals my energy and this stolen energy is added to yours. I have to admit that this is an excellent spell, but since magic is supposed to be forbidden, this is cheating."Yvette's smile widened. "TRUE! I am using a spell." Meanwhile, she looked at the six mages behind her. "Come forward." While she waited for them, her body suddenly began to heal. It was an incredible sight. The wounds caused by William's punches were visibly healing.After the other mages came to William, Yvette began to speak with a smile. "Yes, I am using a spell, and it is a support spell. Actually, my intention was to engage you in a long fistfight and see how long it would take you to realize this spell, but the six of you have bodies that are almost like garbage. Tell me, William, after how many punches did you notice
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
