Sharing cultivation experience with the host.

Following the system’s voice.

A white gas appeared in the air and was absorbed by Karl’s body.

His body glowed with a faint golden light.

Then, it sank into his flesh.

But this time, after sharing Rayne’s cultivation for the day, Karl did not advance to the next level.

He had expected it.

After all, the higher the level of a mage, the more training experience needed to level up.

Karl wasn’t planning on going to school today.

There was no point in him going to school now.

He might as well go out into the wilderness and accumulate some combat experience.

For the next few days.

For the next few days, Karl did not go to school. Instead, he fought the magical beasts in the wild with frenzied zeal.

After a few days of fighting, the accumulated experience and insights, together with the few days of cultivation experience he got from Rayne, his rank reached that of an advanced stage one-star mage.

That night, Karl returned home from the wilderness.

As soon as he arrived home, the magic communication stone lit up. A faint magical power spread in all directions.

Gargado was looking for him.

“Teacher Gargado,” Karl greeted her politely.

From the magic communication stone, he could hear Gargado’s voice. “Karl, I used the magic communication stone to send you some information. Have you seen it?”

“Information?”

Karl was a little confused.

“Yes, it’s about magic control. Didn’t you receive it?”

Karl had been out in the wilderness everyday the past few days. When he got back at night, he would meditate.

He did not check the magic communication stone.

He directed magical energy into the magical stone and saw it.

When the magic communication stone was first discovered, it could only transmit sound.

However, a mage improved it later.

Now, it was able to transmit text.

It was similar to a communicator from his previous life.

On the other side, Gargado said, “Battle is also a balance of work and rest.”

“I understand, Teacher Gargado.”

Karl replied, “I plan to start at the Holy Vestige Magic Academy in a few days.”

Gargado’s laughter came from the magic communication stone. “Sure. After all, Rost City is too backward. You won’t be able to advance much there.”

Then, the two of them chatted for a while more before they ended the call.

After that, Karl downloaded the file ‘Magic Control’ Gargado sent through the magic stone.

He began to read.

It mainly introduced the four stages of magic usage.

They were: Novice, Competent, Advanced, Accomplished.

Take lightning magic as an example.

A mage at the novice stage could control the direction of their attack somewhat accurately and should not miss.

At the same time, they had to compress magic.

At first Karl didn’t understand the purpose of compressing magic.

But he understood after reading it.

Unleashing magic in a large area without any purpose consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Compressing magic would allow the mage to control its effective area and increase its power.

This knowledge was very important.

When he was in the wilderness, he had released magic randomly.

Under such circumstances, if he had to fight a few battles continuously, or if the magical beasts attacked him continuously with no break in between, he would soon run out of spiritual energy.

He would be in danger.

In order to use magic more efficiently, he had to control the consumption of spiritual energy.

A competent mage should be able to compress magic into a small dot.

At this point, the power of magic could be said to have been unleashed to the extreme.

In addition, at the competent stage, a mage should be able to give form to magic.

For example, he could turn magic into a beast or any form.

According to what was written in ‘Magic Control’, the effect would be better if magic was condensed into a weapon.

However, it would take at least half a year to achieve this stage.

A lot of combat experience was also necessary.

The advanced stage was even more terrifying.

A mage at this stage could compress magic to an even smaller size and could also use it to form a shield to protect himself.

But that was a little distant for Karl.

His current goal was to achieve Competent stage as soon as possible.

He could not get this information from sharing cultivation experience.

There was no way to find out through hearsay.

Gagardo had been a great help in sending this message.

“Compress!”

After reading ‘Magic Control’, Karl frowned and fell into deep thought.

Break down the magic and shrink it.

Karl gave it a try

Boom!

With Karl’s attempt, the room rumbled.

Lightning gathered in his hands.

With his current control over magic, he could compress magic into the size of a football.

When he tried it again, it wouldn’t work.

After several attempts, Karl gave up. “It seems that I have to go to the Holy Vestige Magic Academy as soon as possible.”

The next day, when Karl arrived at school, he realized that there was no one in the classrooms.

He could understand why students with magical talent did not come to class.

Where did the students with no magical talent go?

Didn’t they need to attend classes?

After all, the Empire’s annual examination was just around the corner.

If a person with no magical talent wanted more for themselves, they would have to pass this major examination in order to obtain fame and fortune.

Karl had just stepped out of class when someone walked towards him.

“Oh, Karl.”

The person smiled when he saw Karl. “Why did you come to school today?”

This was his classmate, Leo.

“What is happening today? Why aren’t the students in the classroom?”

Karl asked.

“A few days ago, the Grade 12 students of Rost High School who became mages issued a challenge to the students from our school. The battle is today.”

Leo said angrily, “The people at Rost High School are too cocky. Adrien can’t hold on any longer. Karl, go take a look.”

Rost High School was the best high school in Rost City.

They also had the best students.

Every year, there were more students from Rost High School who were assessed to have magical talent than students from all the other high schools in the city combined.

However, Karl wasn’t sure what their numbers were like this year.

Every year, students from Rost High School were the ones who would invite students from other schools to battle against them.

Then, they would beat up the students.

This happened every year.

The invited students from the other schools could not refuse.

The mages were afraid of being ridiculed if they were to refuse to accept the challenge.

Therefore, they had to accept the invitation even if it was just to ensure they did not get ridiculed.

If they couldn’t win, they would at worst get beaten up.. If they refused to accept the challenge out of fear, they would be looked down upon.

Violet High School.

In the parade square.

The moment Carl arrived, he saw Adrien being beaten up.

“His name is Bryant. He’s a fire-type mage. He has superior magical talent.”

Leo said as he looked at the two mages battling.
