Archmage: God-level Modification System - Chapter 7

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After witnessing the strength of this “senior student”, the glint in the dean’s eyes became even brighter. He knew that if he wanted to keep this student, he would have to offer an even more irresistible offer.

“Student Ronald, are you injured? Do you need me to call a water-type Mage to examine and heal you?”

Compared to the dean’s scheme, the mentor was more concerned about the two ordinary students who had just fallen from the sky. He used Fire Escape and directly moved to the two students whose mouths were still bleeding, saying: “It’s not so bad. They’re still breathing, despite being weak. At least they’re alive.”

Hearing this, Ronald began to think.

They’re still breathing after falling from such a high place. Do they have some kind of life-saving weapon?

Reality proved that Ronald was a very smart person. The two of them were gifted and Mystic Fire had invited them to protect the inheritor. How could Mystic Fire not give them some benefits?

The two of them had something called an Exorcist’s Artifact. It was a supplementary magic tool made by an exorcist. It could be used to support attacks, recover elemental energy, or protect oneself.

The production of an Exorcist’s Artifact was very cumbersome, and the materials required were rare. Some high-level Exorcist’s Artifacts had requirements for the user as well. However, Mystic Fire, as one of the few great Mage guilds in the East Continent, it was not difficult to obtain a few low-level Exorcist’s Artifacts.

The dean did not know what Ronald was planning and only thought that he was indifferent to such useless concern. Hence, the dean made a decision that surprised everyone.

“I hereby announce that Ronald is now I, Fael’s, direct disciple. From today onwards, he will join the core class and become a core disciple.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. No one had expected that the fourth-year-student who had been deemed trash by the entire academy a day ago, and who might have been expelled today, would directly become the dean’s direct disciple; a core disciple at that.

Of course, the dean had his own plans for taking in Ronald as his direct disciple. The dean of the East Magic Academy, Fael, was a Class 6 fire elemental Mage. His personal strength was already above average in the continent.

However, when he was young, he had once traveled to the South Continent, which was separated by an ocean. As a continent of combat, Fael, who had just reached Class 6, was defeated by someone who was five years younger than him.

From then on, he returned to the East Continent and was determined to change the younger generation. With his own strength, he easily became a mentor of the Royal Academy. However, the students of the Royal Academy were mostly aristocrats. Most of the pampered aristocrats could not adapt to his strong training methods. Hence, they secretly colluded and suppressed him to become the dean of this poor and remote village.

Fael always had a boiling passion in his heart. He wanted to prove that there could also be powerful combatants in the East Continent, and not just theoreticians. And now, this young genius was his best chance to prove himself to other continents.

Compared to the dean’s grand aspirations, our protagonist’s thoughts were the same as before. As long as he joined the core class, his modifier would be able to showcase its prowess. He didn’t think too much and said: “Alright, I agree, but I want to learn the most comprehensive elemental battle techniques.”

The reason why Ronald proposed this condition was very simple. Although he had modified his own elemental affinity, he did not master any elemental attack methods. The benefits of only using pure elemental attacks were very small. Only by mastering many types of attacks could he gain a foothold on this continent.

Of course, the dean would not reject such a small request.

“Sure, you can learn all the elemental battle techniques that I know. I’m a Class 6 fire-type Mage, and I know most of the known fire-type battle techniques in the East Continent.”

As soon as the dean said that, the students below the stage immediately caused an uproar.

“Heavens! The dean is a Class 6 Mage! If I become his personal disciple, I’ll be able to learn the legendary Inferno Prison!”

“God, did he use two elemental powers?”

“Isn’t that an ability that only Class 4 Mages can master?”

“I even humiliated him yesterday. Will he take revenge on me?”

Compared to the whispers of the people below, the dean’s face was brimming with excitement. He was sure that he had successfully secured this genius.

The dean immediately decided to use the training method he had developed to train him.

The dean’s training method was different from the traditional ones. He focused on actual combat. Theoretically, he specialized in training.

Soon after, the dean said, “Then the training begins now. Today, your training will be to escape from the hands of the Class 6 Mage. The area will be restricted to the academy. As long as you persist until nightfall, you will have completed today’s training. If you fail, tomorrow’s training will be even tougher. If you succeed, I will teach you my unique fire element secret technique.”

Following which, the dean set up a formation, and the nearby fire elements began to gather in his right hand. That’s right, he had used his full strength.

Looking at this scene, Ronald’s heart tightened. He did not expect that the dean who had been smiling at him just now would use such a special training method on him.

Before he could think about anything else, Ronald ran out of the arena where he had been fighting.

Although the East Magic Academy wasn’t too large, it was enough to support this training.

The dean looked at Ronald as he left and immediately used his secret advanced Fire Escape. However, Ronald, whose speed had already been modified by the modifier, was not so easy to catch. The modifier brought about an increase in speed, at least for now.

Faced with this powerful fire-type Mage, Ronald’s choice was to head towards the lake east of the academy.

Because of his extreme speed, Ronald reached the lake very quickly. Without saying a word, he rushed to the surface of the lake.

At the same time, the dean who had just arrived was also astonished.

He looked at the protagonist as he walked on the lake. He was a little surprised that he did not sink to the bottom.

This meant that his speed was obviously faster than the speed of sinking. Every time he was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, he would use his other foot to step on the surface of the water to cushion his body and achieve the feat of walking on water.
