Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 963: Training begins

As heard Theo Steel’s tone, Vicente remembered the warning from earlier that Elder Collins had given him.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting, Brother Theo. But I’m here now, so we can start our training whenever you prefer.” Vicente said amiably. There was no need for him to add fuel to the fire in front of him.

Theo clenched his fists, standing up as he glared at the guy who had crossed the line by making him wait for over three weeks.

But talking wouldn’t solve the situation, so he summoned a black scroll, the contract for Vicente to sign.

“Leave your spiritual mark here and we can begin.” He threw this black artifact in Vicente’s direction, which the black-haired young man quickly read, understanding that he could not seek justice, whatever the outcome of this training.

If Theo ‘accidentally’ hurt him, he wouldn’t even be able to seek support from the sect to seek justice on his behalf. And even if he got hurt, he couldn’t seek revenge against Theo in the future because of anything that happened during the training.

Vicente smiled bitterly as he finished reading the unfavorable conditions, but which would pay him 55,000 stone coins after just a few matches with Theo.

The aim of the training was to help Theo master a spell he was learning. But for that to work, he needed a companion to target and counter his spell.

Theo’s training partner couldn’t attack him, as that would hinder the spell’s training. Vicente could only attack the effects of Theo’s spell.

The good thing about this kind of training was that any result, whether it was the spell hurting Vicente or Vice defending himself against the spell, would help Theo improve his understanding. Working alone, or against someone much stronger than him, might not give the same results, while fights in which the opponent could act against him might hinder rather than help.

Aware of the peculiarities of this training match, Vicente returned the contract to Theo and positioned himself at one of the corners of the platform.

The bald man dressed as a monk received the black paper from Theo and stood in front of the exit door, his two hands behind his back, eager to follow this training session.

Vicente was the first young man from a lower plane to agree to train with Theo, so the bald man had his doubts about how the fight would go.

The same went for Theo, who began to crack his bones as soon as he threw that parchment at his servant.

“Try not to shout too much. It’ll help me stay focused.” Said the man with the red and white hair, already moving his mana as he prepared the spell.

Vicente prepared himself too, ignoring this young master’s arrogant comment. He focused on defending himself first while revealing his pentagram configuration.

Theo frowned when he saw Vicente’s pentagram configuration, the same reaction as the man dressed as a monk.

‘That configuration? On one recently promoted from a lower plane?’ The bald man almost couldn’t believe his eyes.

But the feeling coming from Vicente was too strong for him to doubt the reality. Vice did have that majestic pentagram configuration being just a 5-Star Archmage!

Then, as Theo’s frown, he activated his spell, causing red and white wolves made of mana to appear around him, already running towards Vicente.

‘The spell that Outer Disciple Theo is mastering can generate clones of mana identical to his magical form, which, during activation, can act independently, almost like living beings.

Given the appearance of these wolves, his magical form is Red Lightning Wolves, subtype Crimson Thunderfangs. They are known for their electrifying bite, which can paralyze their prey.

Their fur crackles with energy during storms, which can significantly strengthen them. Their speed is their special feature, which allows them to pass through even less complex barriers and ordinary walls.

But even though they don’t have the mass for me to interfere with my magnetic abilities, they are basically made of electricity and mana.’

As Vicente recognized the type of opponent, he would have to deal with, he quickly concluded how best to use his powers against the wolves—forming one after the other at Theo’s command.

Vicente didn’t stand still. As his opponent attacked him with over 12 creatures, sparing no mana to overwhelm him, Vicente used a spell of his own, speeding up his movements as blue sparks shot from his limbs.

As he dodged the first of these creatures to bite him, Vicente clenched one of his fists and launched a seemingly simple blow at one of the creatures jumping at him.

A hand of blue lightning formed from his right fist and flew towards the red and white creature.

When the two collided, Vicente’s bluish rays consumed the creature’s red and white essence, causing it to dissipate an instant later.

“Brother Theo, your spell is potent offensively, but feeble. There’s no point in the spell being able to knock down even someone twice its strength, but having no defense…”

As he spoke, Vicente covered his body in blue lightning, while the mana in the area condensed around him.

An armor of lightning quickly formed, followed by him stopping moving to accept the attack of one of those red and white wolves.

When one of his forearms was bitten, Vicente resisted the creature’s paralyzing bite, before, with a vertical movement of his arm, rising and plunging, he threw the mana creature at another of the wolves attacking him.

“What I’ve just shown you is what real defensive skills can do for you.” Vicente showed the weak points of what Theo was using against him, while demonstrating the ‘right’ way to move.

As much as Vicente had a lower cultivation than Theo, Vice had a superior pentagram configuration and was continuously evolving.

Vicente had arrived in Anicane as just an Archmage, when the normal thing was for newborns like him to have early 7th stage cultivation.

It would not be Theo who was going to come up against him so easily as making him afraid!

Collins had recommended caution and wished him luck. But that Outer Elder knew nothing about Vicente’s offensive powers, he only knew about the boy’s potential to become a Real Sorcerer!
