Return of the Class 8 Mage
44.2 5 years later (1)
Oliver did not smile.
There was no blood on his sword.
Also, Oliver could not feel his sword slashing at the enemy clearly.
'Mirror images.'
An illusion spell that duplicates the appearance of a witch's body.
Not the main body of the mage, but the 'Mirror Picture' that was penetrated.
“Bravo, you did very well.”
While saying that, Ian pressed down on Oliver's back with his finger.
It was Ian Page, a young wizard who became 17 this year.
“Finally I can't even touch your body.”
Oliver could not feel Ian's main body.
If it really was a battle, Oliver would be dead.
Oliver manages to get close to Ian, but he is unable to reach Ian.
"Remember that you almost killed me by penetrating my heart ....."
Ian's voice deepened as his height increased.
He grew taller, and his face became more mature.
He has impressive long hair.
"Every time I get hurt by you, it'll be my next death."
said Ian.
Since 5 years ago, the duel with Oliver is quite exciting. Although Ian did not use his full strength, he had to use more power than he had expected. Furthermore, Oliver became stronger by the day.
'It's ironic that I call others monsters, but..'
Oliver is a monster. If he was a mage, his talent and effort could lead him to become a great mage, as great as Ian.
“Thank you for dueling with me.”
Oliver bowed to Ian politely.
He received a great favor. With the duel, he overcame his limitations.
Although he could not touch Ian's body.
"I just paid for the necklace."
"I'm receiving more than that."
“I can see it.”
Ian quickly recalled the duel today.
He remembered Oliver, who cut down the fire.
Isn't that something that can only be heard in fantasy stories?
“A knight who can slash fire. I better tell him this....."
"I'm sorry?"
"There's nothing. I only know a man who wrote the book.”
After Ian's strange answer, Oliver asked.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
“How high have you reached?” level
5 Years have passed.
Since Oliver has become stronger than 5 years ago, so has Ian.
“Not as much as you expect.”
With Oliver's question, Ian smiled bitterly.
Of course he's growing very fast.
Ian achieved unexpected growth.
'Master class 5.'
Ian managed to become a 5th class magician.
Moreover, there were only a few magicians who managed to become 'Masters'. Considering that he was 17 years old, his growth speed was unimaginable. In his previous life, he reached the beginning of 5th grade when he was 26 years old.
'But still, it's slower than I imagined.'
5 Years have passed.
He aimed to reach at least 6th grade Master.
However, his goal was shattered by an unexpected barrier.
'Basic limitations of my body.'
Although Ian was talented, Ian was unable to increase his body's growth rate, and his mana heart's growth speed. Who ever imagined? With which heart is immature, 5th grade Master is the limit.
'That's impossible to achieve.'
Overcome grade 5 even before his body finished growing?
That's never happened before in history.
Of course there are no records, so there is no experience.
"I have to be first."
It was like sailing through an unknown ocean.
It doesn't feel so bad.
He just wanted his body to mature quickly.
“Bravo! Sure was! This is the best magician and swordsman of the empire!”
Ian thought deeply, though,
A man is not affected by age.
That's the Crown Prince, Hayden.
"Your majesty."
"His Highness the Crown Prince."
Ian and Oliver immediately bowed to her.
He hasn't shown himself that much in a year.
What brought him here today?
"As I heard, today is the last day of you both."
"Indeed. It will be a busy year for me.”
With Ian's reply, the Crown Prince clapped his hands.
"That's fine. Let's have breakfast together. For the endless development of my right and left arms. How are you?” (ED Note: Sorry ... can not hold ..)
The Crown Prince's eyes only looked towards Ian.
Oliver won't refuse his help.
"I'm really sorry, but."
Ian has a schedule. Since today was the last day of the duel with Oliver, another 'last day' was waiting for Ian.
"This is my last day for my individual lessons from the Ivory Tower."
"Ivoire Tower?"
“Today, I received my first assignment as Archmage, so..”.
"ah! That's right."
Today was the last day of Ian's individual lessons from the Ivory Tower, which replaced the academy's curriculum. Starting today, Ian will be ab Archmage and 'taskholder'. Since he was a 'student', he didn't need to do his job. However, the situation has changed.
"So that's why you'll be busy for the year."
The Crown Prince nodded, as he acknowledged. Ian's 'conquering Ivory Tower' project has finally begun. At least, the Crown Prince thought that way.
"Well, I don't think you have a choice."
"I'm really sorry for that."
"You're apologizing too much."
Since there was nothing to worry about, the Crown Prince shook his hand.
He had endless trust in Ian.
It was a solid relationship built from 5 years.
“Go and do what you have to do. Let's eat later.”
"I'll take my time as soon as possible."
Ian bowed to the Crown Prince.
He also said goodbye to Oliver simply.
“Excuse me then.”
Ian's robe began to flutter.
Immediately, he ascended into the sky quickly.
When they first saw her, they panicked.
Not just the Crown Prince, but Oliver as well.
How could a man fly into the sky so freely?
However, they were not surprised now.
They've seen enough.
"Well we meet again."
Ian disappeared quickly.
It seemed like he was flying faster than before.
As fast as an eagle.
“At least, that's what makes me jealous. I wish I could fly like that. Birdlike. Wait, isn't he faster than a bird?”
The Crown Prince muttered as he felt jealous.
"Captain."
"Okay, my lord."
“As I briefly saw, you fought pretty well with Ian, right? How's now? Can you now fight against a witch?”
Hearing his question, Oliver smiled faintly.
"I can give you two answers."
"Two?"
"First, I concluded that I would have no chance of injuring Sir Ian."
That to be honest, it could ruin his pride. However, Oliver looked calm. He had experienced Ian's strength for 5 years, and he acknowledged Ian's strength quite a lot.
"And I think this gap will grow bigger and bigger."
"Is that so?"
"Yes that."
The Crown Prince was expecting an answer like this.
However, he never thought that Oliver would not be able to touch Ian now and forever.
"However, for another witch."
Oliver continued his words.
And this time, his voice was full of confidence.
"Yes, I dare to defeat them."
