“How did you do it? You couldn’t have done it alone… … .”

I don’t know what’s in my red eyes.

It was even more creepy not knowing.

Since he said he was Leah’s teacher, he must be a wizard.

This was a man who could kill Leon with a single touch.

Leon’s head was spinning.

As I couldn’t answer right away, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The one who opened his mouth was Leah.

“Master.”

Leah looks at the red-eyed woman with a stern expression.

She faced Leah and let out a light sigh.

“Okay, I see. He’s from the orphanage, so he can’t be another Magic Tower guy… … You.”

She shook her head and pointed at Leon with her finger.

“What did the attribute check show?”

Her speech became blunt.

Leon thought this was better than the interested tone.

“… … I don’t know. He just walked away as if he wasn’t interested.”

Although a single attribute was revealed, Leon had difficulty answering since it had now changed to a triple attribute.

Then she glanced at Leah and nodded.

“It makes sense since the properties of the sky have come out.”

I thought it would be easier than I thought, but she returned to her seat and took out a crystal ball from the drawer.

It looks exactly like the crystal ball used to check attributes on the first day.

She silently handed Leon the crystal ball.

Leon had no choice but to put his hand on the crystal ball.

The light flashed briefly, and soon letters appeared on the surface.

[Three elements (water, wind, earth)]

“Three properties?”

She looked at Leon as if she was surprised.

Leon also knew that with three attributes, he wouldn’t be able to live as an entrance resident.

Even though he didn’t react to Leah’s level, he was worthy of being taken to test his wizarding qualities further.

Do you think I lied?

Leon faced her nervously for a moment.

She chuckled.

“I would have been interested just a little while ago, but I definitely haven’t been interested since I saw Leah.”

She stared at Leon for a moment as if she was contemplating how to handle it, then glanced at Leah, who had a serious expression on her face, and then looked away from Leon.

It was unusual for a master to be so observant of his disciple’s expression.

“Be careful.”

“Be careful… … right?”

“Your level is level 1 right now, so you won’t notice unless you check, but from level 2 onwards, other wizards will know.”

She sent Leon out, telling him to come back tomorrow.

Leon came out of the room with a bewildered expression.

Leah, who followed behind, said sullenly.

“I’m sorry because of me… … .”

“No, I was careless. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I became a wizard.”

“Um… I’m fine.”

Leah was saying she was okay with a not-so-okay expression.

But Leon was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn’t pay much attention to her expression.

‘I can’t believe I got caught so easily. I was really careless… … .’

I thought that as long as I didn’t use magic openly in front of the wizard, I wouldn’t get caught.

It was also strange for magicians that a commoner could awaken mana on his own.

Furthermore, if it was discovered that a single-attribute entity had changed into a three-attribute entity, it wouldn’t have been strange if it had been dragged off somewhere and experimented on.

Because talent is an absolute and unchangeable talent that is determined at the moment of birth.

It was a miracle that Leah’s teacher didn’t pay attention.

Is there any way to hide the realm?

My mind was complicated with worry.

And another worry crossed Leon’s mind.

‘I wonder if the old man in the magic library knows about it?’

As far as Leon knew, the old man in the magic library was also a wizard who could use magic.

Although the level didn’t seem that high.

‘I have to be more careful.’

Now that he has awakened Mana, Leon can be seen as having set foot on the path of becoming a magician.

I don’t know much about the worldview of this novel, but I have read the author’s work three times to the end, so I have some idea of the author’s work’s characteristics.

A world where new powerhouses emerge like crazy.

There were ample reasons for Leon to be cautious.

The next day.

Leon arrived alone at the place he had come with Leah.

When I knocked on the door, Leah’s teacher came out.

As soon as she saw Leon, she said out loud.

“Follow me.”

I followed her further into the city center.

A tall spire that soon comes into view.

The building, built of shining white marble, boasted its grandeur even from afar.

As I went inside, I felt a neat and static interior atmosphere.

There were several rooms lined up on each floor, and all those passing by were wizards.

“Hello, Professor Arpina!”

When a man holding a thick book in his hand greeted her, Arpina greeted him indifferently.

“I really want to take 4 Elemental Magic next semester.”

“Okay, listen.”

After passing the students and climbing numerous spiral staircases, I arrived at Arpina’s personal study.

“All you have to do is wait in front of here and I’ll write down the books you need, so just bring them.”

“Are you researching any new magic?”

The corners of Arpina’s mouth went up.

“Are you asking questions like a student under me?”

“This is my first time having a conversation with a wizard like this.”

He also knew that even such trivial questions from Leon could offend some wizards.

I just thought it wasn’t Arpina.

Although it was a short time, Leon figured out that she had an indifferent personality.

“Hmm, well, okay. You’ll probably get the general idea if you look at the books I’ll write about anyway.”

She sat down at her desk, wrote something on a piece of paper, and handed it to Leon.

“You’re researching magic. It’s magic that got inspiration from seeing Leah.”

The paper she handed me was filled with the names of magic books.

She then handed over her own token to Leon.

“You can get them if you go to the Central Magic Library. There are probably a few in the Old Magic Library. When you bring them, don’t come in and leave them in front of the door. I’ll take them. ”

Leon nodded and immediately turned around.

Leon left the magic tower and headed straight to the central magic library.

After showing my ID and entering, I dutifully looked for the books written on the paper.

It was the central library that he had always wanted to visit, but he didn’t do anything useless like look for the magic book he wanted.

That was enough to get on Arpina’s nerves.

I moved all the books with great difficulty without even using basic strength magic.

Since it was located deep in the center, it seemed like they were trying to use magic.

‘Did I say that for nothing?’

I had that thought for a moment, but in the end it wasn’t so bad.

He also found out that his realm was easily discovered by wizards, and so he was able to gather the required public points for his personal room, which was even more necessary.

Actually, there was no loss.

Leon placed a stack of books in front of Arpina’s lab door and sat around them, looking through them one by one.

I was just going to look at it until Arpina came out and took it away.

‘Illumina Codex: Advanced Light Magic Techniques.’

At first glance, he passed over books that seemed difficult for his level.

‘The Science of Radiance: Theory and Practice of Light Magic.’

“Is this worth reading?”

Leon glanced over the book a few times and quickly put it back down.

‘I don’t get it.’

Even though it was a book from the Central Magic Library, it didn’t make sense because it had nothing to do with Leon’s attributes.

Eventually, Leon began to read the low-level magic book he had.

These days I’ve been obsessed with reading the unique spells in the old magic library.

Of course, actual training involves practicing magic that fits his attributes, but after it became difficult to proceed with quests in reality, he read various types of magic books.

‘Low-level speed magic.’

Arpina already knew that he had become a wizard, so there was no need to try to hide it.

And then at some point the door opened and Arpina came out.

She glanced at the book Leon was reading and then chuckled.

“Why are you reading such a trashy magic book?”

“But I think it might be useful.”

“It seems you don’t even know basic common magic.”

She sighed, shook her head, and went back inside with only her book.

‘Then let me know.’

Leon looked at the door she had entered with displeasure and then looked away.

The time when work ended was at Arpina’s discretion.

When the word “let’s go today” came out, I could just leave work.

The working hours were shorter than when I worked at the old magic library.

Because it was a little past lunch time.

As I was leaving the tower, Leah happened to be loitering in front of it.

She found Leon and came to Dodo.

“Are you done? Didn’t the teacher bother you?”

“Yeah, I just went out to work.”

Leon, who was planning to return to the dormitory and focus on his training, answered appropriately and headed towards the dormitory.

I thought we just happened to run into each other and said hello, but Leah kept following me.

“Uh… I think I’ll go back to the dorm.”

“Yeah, I know. I was going to give you this before that.”

By the way, Leah was holding something in her hand.

It was a small pouch that could fit in one hand.

She handed it to Leon as is.

“Subspace pocket. Actually, I wanted to give you a magic suit or staff as a gift, but I don’t think you want to tell me yet.”

Leon took the bag and looked apologetic.

To be exact, it was burdensome.

Just hearing the word subspace made it sound expensive.

“Thank you, but… …Can you give me something like this?”

“All wizards carry them! They’re not that expensive. The really expensive ones register their own mana so that only the user can open them. It’s not that much, so you don’t have to make that face.”

Even so, it is not an item so common that everyone would carry it around.

Perhaps it was a gift from someone who saw Leah’s talent.

“Isn’t that what you should be writing?”

“I can ask the teacher again.”

“… .”

Arpina’s first impression was sharp to the point of being creepy, but is she really a teacher who always loses to Leah?

“Thank you. I… even hid the fact that I became a wizard.”

“Then don’t hide it from next time. Got it?”

Just as Leah was staring intently and thinking that what she was saying was quite sincere, someone approached Leah.

“What is it, boyfriend?”

When Leon turned his head, a woman with long red hair came into view.

He was a cute child who looked to be around the same age as Leah.

“Ha, do you have time to hang out with guys like that?”

But what he said was completely opposite to Leon’s first impression.

Her green eyes turned to Leon.

She frowned as soon as she saw Leon.

“Entrance resident?”
