"Lord Knight. Sir Artmer's men came earlier and delivered the Cristal Fiber Flower. They said it's another token of grat.i.tude for the help yesterday, and there's no need to pay for it. He also said he also has some business here, so we shall only leave Argent City tomorrow." He said, reporting the happenings from earlier. It seems I woke up at noon.

Taking the pouch Albert took out of his waist, I checked that there was indeed a single Crystal Fiber Flower.

Seeing the flower, I took my bag that was on the corner of the room and took out its contents. (I returned to the camp to take my stuff before leaving with the caravan.)

There were a few flasks with weird liquids, a few herbs, and a few minerals, as well as a big mortar to ground them.

I took out a piece of black chalk and drew a Magic Circle and put the Mortar on top of it, before putting my finger on the Circle and sent mana to activate it.

There was a great amount of theory that needed to be understood to activate a Magic Circle. Magic Circles were like computer codes, that needed to be written and executed. If it was executed incorrectly, an error would occur and the mana wouldn't achieve the correct effects, which is potentially dangerous.

The Circle was activated correctly by me since I acquired the innate knowledge of Magic Circles when I became a necromancer, and the mana flowed through the black chalk and into the mortar.

After activating the Circle, I put the herbs and minerals in the mortar and crushed them.

Those minerals that shouldn't be broken easily, were easily crushed in the mortar and became a grey powder along with the herbs. I then threw the liquids in the flasks inside and mixed them with the powder.

The mixture inside the mortar became a grey gel-like substance, and after it was completely gray, I deactivated the Circle and took the mortar in my arms.

I used a brush to paint the floor of the room with the gel, making a big Magic Circle that was much more complicated than the one I used in the mortar. After putting the mortar aside and stepping on the Circle, I sat cross-legged and started vibrating my Magus Soul in a different rhythm than the one I use to meditate.

After starting to vibrate my Soul, I ingested the Flower and focused.

The Gel-like substance glowed with a gray light, and I started feeling the changes inside my body.

The flower inside my body was decomposed and became a series of tiny threads that wandered my body in different directions, I could clearly feel those threads moving on my body like little worms, and It gave me an uncomfortable feeling while also being a little painful.

The process lasted for half an hour before stopping completely.

I tried to vibrate my Magus Core again and noticed it didn't vibrate normally but stood still instead, however, the Mana that was coursing through it was agitated as if it was vibrating normally. But when I activated my Dread Core, that didn't need to vibrate to create Necrotic energy, something weird happened.

The Necrotic Energy divided into two after being formed, one part headed towards my Magus Soul and became Mana.

When that wave of Mana entered the Magus soul, I could feel it… My mana was growing exponentially!

I stopped letting half of the created Necrotic Energy on my Dread Core and started sending all of it towards my Magus Soul.

Suddenly, the speed of producing Necrotic Energy Increased a hundredfold and It kept pouring into my Magus core. Necrotic Energy was better than Mana in quality, so any quant.i.ty of Necrotic energy was equivalent to two times the same amount of mana.

The process continued for three hours before my Dread Core turned back to normal, producing the same amount of Necrotic Energy as before.

Feeling the huge amount of Mana coursing through my Magus Soul, I knew it…

I became an Initiate Magus!

Now I could use the same amount of mana as a Magus just by increasing my necrotic energy, and If I transferred all my mana to my Dread Core, I would be able to replenish half of my Necrotic energy at any time!

After becoming a Magus, I erased the big Magic Circle and threw the gel in a trash bin on the room. Then, I took the black chalk and drew twenty small Magic Circles on the table.

A magus, differently from a necromancer, can learn twenty spells each level. The twenty spells must be divided into four groups of five by element, respectively: One Core Element, One Major Element, One Minor Element, and one group could be any kind of spell.

These elements were set from the first level, and couldn't be changed under ordinary circ.u.mstances. The Core, Major and Minor elements would be the three elements that a Magus would be proficient in.

A magus that has an Ice Core element, in one set he would be able to summon Ten Ice Arrows on initiate level, while a magus that majored on ice could summon five and one that minored in it could summon three. If you didn't have any proficiency towards this element, you would only be able to summon one arrow.

The Elements I chose were Ice as a core, Illusion as a Major and Enhancement as a minor, as well as five convenient spells of different elements.

After inputting my Mana into the first Circle, an illusory image of it entered my two hands.

To learn a spell, one would need to imprint a Circle in their Magus core through this method, and from then one, the spell can be cast by using the correct gestures. Spells were all cast through gestures, and there was no chanting required.

I imprinted the other nineteen spells in my Magus Soul and formally became a Magus.

I then Cast one of my new spells, Lesser Disguise, and removed my mask.

My hair was originally black, and my eyes were of the same color. My skin was slightly tanned as well.

But when I removed the mask and the hood after that, not only were my features changed, my hair became silver and my eyes red. My appearance was the same as Sixth's. Lesser disguise could change my features as much as I want, but I couldn't change from a humanoid disguise, and people would notice that it is an illusion if they touched me, since the illusion wasn't material. But it couldn't be seen through, only dispelled.

"Looking good huh? I only noticed how handsome I truly am after seeing it from my own view, but your bearing isn't as divine as mine, so you don't stand a chance of being a player like me." Said Sixth after noticing I had copied my appearance.

"I wouldn't be able to be a player really. I am incredibly awkward when speaking to cute girls."I said, acknowledging my weakness.

"But… It seems I was able to become a wizard before thirty. Which means I am a really talented virgin."

I wasn't sure if I should be sad or happy about that...
