The basic magic of the four elements of the Arpina system had a system from 1 star to 5 star.

Each system deals with different elemental magic, and when you reach the final 5 stars, you achieve harmony among all of these.

This corresponded to the level of apprenticeship up to level 5.

This meant that one could only train with this magic until becoming a secret-level magician, which is the next level after the 5th-level apprentice.

The 1-star Arpina magic that Leon is currently practicing is water magic.

“Clear waves, respond to my call and appear here. Aqua Sentinel.”

Mana condensed in the air, and a blue slime-like summon was summoned from there.

Arpina’s magical ability was to summon creatures in the form of spirit animals.

This was not actually the concept of a living servant horse.

It was close to bringing the idea into reality.

So, once summoned, the mentalization step that had to be passed through for the next magic could be omitted. Its role was to assist the magic that was linked later.

If you memorize Aqua Sentinel, you can skip the Aqua Sentinel’s own chanting step, and you can also skip the next linked magic’s mentalization step, so you can manifest magic at a speed similar to that of a secret-level magician.

It was a clear example of how important high-level magic is.

If this is the magic used by apprentice magicians, it was obvious that high-level magic would become more important as the level increased.

For six months, aside from the time spent working in the magic library, I spent all my time learning Arpina’s magic.

Since I also got a private room, I didn’t have to worry about what other people thought when I got off work and couldn’t use my magic.

After reaching the latter half of the first level, the rewards were changed to artifacts.

I ate almost all of the elixir, leaving a few just in case.

-Breakthrough Quest

▶ Rise of land

This is because I decided that elixirs wouldn’t be of much help in raising the level of the land.

The rise to the realm of enlightenment was the realm of enlightenment.

He made up his mind after he already had enough mana for his level with the elixir.

It was my first time receiving an artifact reward.

▶ You have obtained a disposable Magic Missile Scroll (F-).

▶ You have obtained a disposable earthen wall creation scroll (F-).

Since then, I have received artifact rewards more than 10 times, but only one artifact was not disposable.

▶ Obtained Mana Trace Remover (E).

It was a disc-shaped artifact made of silver metal.

I haven’t found a proper use for it yet.

Aside from that, I cut down the forest little by little and compacted the ground to create a small herb garden next to Leon’s training area.

Although there were only three kinds of herbs that the old man had collected as errands, the speed at which they were growing was satisfactory.

Even though Leon was out of the orb, time continued to pass inside the orb.

If you spend one minute in reality, an hour has already passed in the jewel.

No matter how I thought about it, it was an ideal environment for medicinal herbs to grow.

Conditions such as growth cycle, suitable soil, humidity, and amount of sunlight had no effect.

Just plant it in the ground and it will grow.

The thick concentration of mana made it like that.

In the case of Planetia Isulcho, which is also written in the F-grade elixir recipe, it is an annual herb that usually requires 6~7 months of care to fully grow, but after being transplanted into the jewel, it grew exactly the same and began to reproduce after just one day in real time.

‘If only I could get some herbs… … .’

At least I was able to replicate the F-class elixir.

The accumulated public service value over six months was 80.

It was the original value of 20 plus the 10 public service points given every month.

Leon has already decided where he will use all of this public service.

[Vacation (1 day) – Public service 5]

We’ve made it so that if you don’t use your public service for a month, you can get two days of vacation.

Leon hasn’t used any public service for half a year.

It was to be used as a vacation when passing the 2nd level.

The number of days he can change into vacation is 16.

Leon went straight to the old man in the magic library.

“I want to take a vacation.”

“Oh, you’re finally writing it? I’ve been waiting for you to write it. How long do you plan on writing it?”

“It’s the 16th.”

“… .”

Leon understood the speechless old man’s feelings.

I never intended to use 16 days at once.

‘It is a modern-day trick to start persuasion by pushing in big things first… ‘

“Okay.”

“… Yes?”

Leon, who was about to say that he would share it, asked back like an idiot.

“I told you to write everything down. But please do me a favor later. I think I did it once last time.”

“You mean gathering herbs?”

“Come with me this time.”

“Together… … .”

Leon hesitated for a moment, then nodded, hiding his doubts.

“Okay.”

“When do you plan on taking a break?”

“Is it possible to start tomorrow?”

“Let’s do that.”

Actually, I didn’t think it would be difficult to get a vacation since the librarian here was a minor presence.

But I didn’t know that he would so readily allow me to take 16 days off.

Is it a leap of faith for Leon to think that he was just waiting for an excuse to go digging herbs together?

He decided not to let his guard down, but to worry unnecessarily.

Leon decided to make his own preparations to reach level 2.

For two weeks, I devoted all my time to training except for sleeping.

I also prepared some food that could be eaten quickly, like bread, and ate it in the snack area.

I didn’t even go out of the room.

After receiving a reward for a quest in reality, I would take a deep breath and immediately go into the Space-Time Orb to continue my training.

And Leon achieved level 2 as planned.

Leon sat cross-legged and observed his condition without getting up.

[Growth Helper]

-information

▶ Name: Leon

▶ Level: Apprentice Level 2

▶ Magic Power: E-

▶ Attribute constitution: Three elements (water, wind, earth)

-General Quests

▶ Basic Magic Training (Completed)

-Breakthrough Quest

▶ Land Rising (Completed)

—————————————————- —

The magic core has become stronger and magic power has become more abundant.

Leon, who already had magical powers that even a first-class apprentice wizard could not have, was able to use the elixir.

Now you can use magic at least 10 times in reality.

This was approximately 1.5 times higher than the magic that a second-level apprentice magician could use.

The number of magic that can be memorized has also increased by one, and Alpina’s basic magic has also been raised to 2 stars, so she can now summon two summoned creatures.

It was a summon of water and wind.

Now, a truly magical aura seemed to flow around Leon.

So I had to be more careful.

Because it will be easier for wizards stronger than Leon to detect that he is a wizard.

Although I was good at utilizing the magic of concealment, it was true that I needed something a little safer.

Aside from that risk, Leon was simply beaming with joy at having reached that level.

Even Leah, who is said to be the most talented, has not yet achieved level 2, but she went from being a commoner to a level 2 apprentice magician in just 7 months.

▶ The reward probability has increased as the level of land has increased.

▶ 200 hours of Space-Time Orb were provided.

▶ Please select additional level up rewards.

▶ Artifact (E+ Grade Magic Detection Pendant) / Elixir (E+ Grade Refined Liquid)

‘Additional compensation?’

Are there additional level increase rewards given from level 2?

Leon hesitated for a moment and then chose the elixir.

The general quest reward itself had been changed to an artifact, but it was a different story when it came to E+ grade elixirs.

And there’s real liquid on top of that.

▶ You have obtained purified essence (E+).

A blue potion in a transparent bottle fell onto Leon’s palm.

What I learned while studying elixirs was that elixirs with the name ‘Jeongsu’ were elixirs that increased magical power, and elixirs with the name ‘Jinyeok’ were elixirs that improved magical power quality.

Naturally, the essence that improved magical power was much rarer.

It is true that consuming essence increases magical power, but this requires a large amount of essence.

Leon opened the potion cork right there and gulped it down.

I felt a warm sensation spread throughout my body, as if I was slowly immersed in warm water.

Soon, a tingling sensation, as if a small electric current were flowing under my skin, began to arise, and the tingling sensation rushed towards my navel where my core was.

A tingling sensation exploded from my core.

For a moment, your senses become sharper and your mind becomes clearer.

“Haa… … .”

A languid sigh escaped Leon’s lips on its own.

▶ Magic Power: E

The magic power that was E-class has changed to E-class.

Since the magic power has become more purified, the same magic would have become more powerful.

Leon, who was enjoying the pleasant sensation, soon came to his senses.

Other than that, the other breakthrough rewards were decent.

The 200 hours increase was reasonable, as the higher the level, the more time is needed for training.

I didn’t feel like the reward probability increased that much, but I thought it would shine someday.

– General Quests

▶ You have obtained a disposable triple flameball scroll (E-).

‘Oh, I feel like I can feel it right away.’

Just in case, I completed the normal quest after increasing the reward probability with a breakthrough reward, and I got a decent scroll.

Even though it was disposable.

Leon, who had been stabilizing and gathering his overflowing mana for the remaining two days, hid his mana with a magic concealment spell and went to work at the library.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, your face has definitely gotten better.”

“Thanks to you, I had a good rest.”

“You didn’t forget the promise, right?”

“Yes, when can I go?”

“How about going today?”

The old man’s face was completely calm.

Leon nodded with an expressionless face.

“… Okay.”

It’s been a while since I’ve been back to work, but there’s nothing awkward about it.

Since there was so little to do, it didn’t take much time to re-adapt.

After finishing my work like that, I left work with the old man.

I left the main gate and headed towards the medicinal herb mountain.

Unlike the last time he came, there was no guard guarding the entrance, but Leon didn’t show any sign of noticing.

“What herbs should I dig today?”

“Oh, by the way, you picked low-grade herbs last time? I plan on going deeper today.”

I just walked without even thinking about looking to see where the herbs were.

The old man, who had been climbing the mountain for a long time, suddenly stopped walking.

“Can I find it here?”

“Hmm… .”

The old man doesn’t answer and just stares at Leon.

Leon looked around as if he knew nothing.

Then the old man spoke softly.

“How did you awaken Mana?”

It was a voice with a different, more sinister tone than usual.

also.

Leon had a feeling it was coming.

Leon answered calmly, trying to hide the tension that was starting to flow rapidly.

“Did you know?”

“Since you think you don’t know, I guess you didn’t learn it from someone. That makes it even more amazing. You awakened Mana on your own?”

Leon slowly activated his core and thought about the recipe in his head.

The old man noticed the expression and raised the corners of his mouth.

It was a sinister smile that did not match his kind impression.

“You’re just now realizing it? But it was a mistake to think that you could deal with me at a level of 1st class.”

The old man raised his magical power.

Soon Leon understood the old man’s state of mind.

3rd grade!

I had a hunch, but it really was level 3.

The alarm bells seemed to be ringing in his head, but Leon’s eyes settled calmly.

“I hope you become a good test subject.”

The old man raised his hand leisurely.
