Chapter 191

RMSBS – Episode 191 . Enlightenment (7)

‘Did he learn after seeing me do it?’

The rapid flooding of mana was dying down . He didn’t have a moment to waste; Desir calmly began to control the frequency of the Fourth-Circle .

When the frequency changed again, he analyzed it once again, adapting to the change .

The difficulty had substantially decreased, and the time limit had a subsequently huge increase .

After bringing the circle under his control, Desir’s head tilted forward from exhaustion .

“… I’d like to believe that I have succeeded . ”

Desir spoke towards Zod, who was now approaching him .

Zod observed his condition while maintaining his composure .

“As far as I know, you’re the first human to do this . ”

Zod stated in a matter of fact tone .

“On top of increasing your mana compatibility, congratulations on advancing your circle . ”

Desir could not hide the smile that emerged on his lips .

He had finally gotten stronger, surpassing the limitations he faced in his previous life .

* * *

Students of the Hebrion Academy were required to report their performance to the academy on a monthly basis . Professors at the academy collected the reported performances, evaluated each student, and decided on their overall educational path .

“This makes no sense . ”

The professors at the academy after getting the reports were all shocked . It was understandable they were shocked because something really ridiculous happened .

“Just a few months after Adjest Kingscrown, there is now another Fourth-Circle magician . Two more of them, in fact . ”

From the Fourth-Circle onwards, anyone achieving such a rank would be considered a high-ranking magician . Very few people were able to attain such a stage, let alone students who were still furthering their magic . Even at Hebrion Academy, the focal point for a majority of the blossoming talent across the continent , there were only three other people to have done so in total .

“So… Who are they?”

“The first is Desir Arman . ”

“We hear his name often these days . ”

One of the magicians that had achieved the Fourth-Circle was Desir Arman . There was no professor who didn’t know of him, an individual renowned across the continent for his war contributions .

One professor spoke in amazement .

“I thought it would’ve been impossible for him to achieve the Fourth-Circle according to the compatibility result we got from him at the entrance exam… ”

Desir’s mana compatibility was abysmal . It was impossible for him to achieve Fourth-Circle based on what they held to be true .

While everyone was left confused, Hersaint-Blanc added one more thing .

“But it’s Desir, after all . ”

As if jolted out of their thoughts, the atmosphere at the professor’s meeting changed starkly .

“Well, there must have been an error in the result . ”

Finding an excuse to minimize their cognitive dissonance, the professors all agreed on Desir’s mana compatibility test being inaccurate, instead of doubting his latest performance report .

The suspicion had subsided in an instant . Rather, the professor meeting began to take on a slightly celebratory mood due to Desir reaching the Fourth-Circle .

“Please pass along congratulations on my behalf, Professor Bridgette . ”

“I hope to have a talk with him someday . ”

“… Wasn’t there something else I had to share too? I can’t seem to remember what it was . ”

On that note, the professors’ meeting ended shortly thereafter . The news that Desir had achieved the Fourth-Circle spread throughout the academy immediately .

It didn’t take long for such news to reach the Starling Party and Blue Moon Party, who were busy preparing for their joint training session with the Red Dragon party .

This was the scheduled day where the three parties would face off in a three-cornered battle . The Starling Party, Blue Moon Party, and Red Dragon Party had prepared in earnest for it .

“You caught me all the way here . ”

This virtual Shadow World had been set to be a sea world .

Three vessels floated in this open sea .

The leaders of each party Desir, Radoria, and Kelt were watching over the party members' training .

Kelt shook his head .

“You overwhelmed us when you were Third-Circle, now that you’ve reached the Fourth-Circle, I’m honestly afraid . How did you grow that rapidly?”

Desir spoke without taking his eyes off the battle .

“Well, nothing is impossible through hard work . ”

As the mana circle implant had been done in secrecy, he couldn’t afford to tell them exactly how he had grown stronger .

Instead, he came up with a roughly plausible story, and Radoria and Kelt ended up buying it .

Radoria shrugged her shoulders lightly .

“Well, it’s not surprising for you . But Romantica achieving the Fourth-Circle as well is a little surprising . ”

“Yes . You have no idea how surprised I was with the news . ”

The other magician who made it to the Fourth-Circle was Romantica Eru .

The gloom that used to cloud her expression had completely disappeared .

[Avarosa’s Storm]

*BAM*

Although she reached the Fourth-Circle, she couldn’t quite handle Fourth-Circle magic yet . She still mainly used Third-Circle magic .

But it was clear to all that looked that something major had changed within Romantica . Even when she performed the same magic as before, the power differential between when she was Third-Circle and now was astonishing .

Romantic becoming a Fourth-Circle magician was also a hot topic at the academy .

Her speed of growth that resulted in her achieving the Fourth-Circle within a year of achieving the Third-Circle was unprecedented .

‘Romantica will grow further and further . ’

Romantica was growing at a devastating speed in comparison to the Romantica of his previous life, thanks in no small part to Desir’s assistance .

Desir was sure that her talent would bloom more brilliantly than what he remembered of her .

“What’s your secret for success?”

“Just that, a secret . If you join my party, I might let you know . ”

Radoria blinked her eyes and burst into laughter .

“If the rumors about your training regime are to be believed, that’s a rather terrifying offer . I think I’ll stick to getting stronger at my own pace . ”

Kelt spoke with a gentle smile, listening to the conversation next to them .

“It’s not just you and Romantica, but your entire party, on the whole, is growing very fast . Their skills are better than ever before . ”

“Exactly! They’ve become quite tough . In the past, your first years didn’t even last half an hour . ”

There were times in the past when the three parties did a three-cornered battle training . But the first years of the Starling Party couldn’t withstand the vigorous attacks of the other two parties .

However, it was a different story now . The first years of the Starling Party were capable of keeping up with the academy’s prestigious parties .

“Their teamwork is quite good too . ”

Nobody would have thought they were the same people who helplessly flailed about in previous battles .

After furtively improving their weaknesses and strengthening their advantages under Desir’s guidance, they no longer looked like incompetent freshmen . .

*Bam*

*Ba-Bam*

Kelt opened his mouth with a serious face .

“No professor is able to help students develop this much . ”

He then pointed at Adjest .

“When Adjest reached the Fourth-Circle, I thought it was because of her talent; how else would she grow so quickly? . But the way all your party members are growing, and how quickly Romantica achieved Fourth-Circle, I can’t help but feel that your impact on them is a big part of it . ”

Kelt took a deep breath and continued .

“So I’m wondering… Would you teach us as well?”

Desir was surprised, hearing something he did not expect in the slightest . He turned and faced Kelt .

Radoria seamlessly followed up after Kelt, as if this was a play they had planned in advance .

“Through sparring . ”

The leaders of the parties that represented the academy, had asked a student, their junior even, to teach them .

‘… They seem very determined . ’

Radoria and Kelt were excellent magicians who reached the Fourth-Circle faster than Desir, managed to obtain positions of leadership within their respective parties, and were also Desir’s seniors . .

It certainly wasn’t easy for them to swallow their pride and ask him for help .

Desir took the situation very positively .

‘That’s an unexpected gain . ’

The Blue Moon Party and the Red Dragon Party were the core power of the coming Shadow Labyrinth raid . Increasing their strength would directly translate into improving the preparation of the Hebrion Empire . If the Hebrion Empire could rely on them, and not just the Starling Party, that would be for the better .

“Sure . ”

Radoria seemed startled, as if she was expecting a rejection .

“Really?”

“You two conducted these joint training sessions . Think of it as payment for that . ”

“Thank you very much . ”

“I also appreciate it . ”

Radoria and Kelt respectively thanked Desir .

*Bam*

There was another blast .

As they gazed at the battlefield, they could tell it was nearing a conclusion . The core members of each party now entered into the fray .

“Desir, have you tested how much stronger you are since reaching the Fourth-Circle?”

“No, I haven’t yet . ”

Desir did not have time for himself while taking care of his party members and increasing the intensity of their training .

Radoria’s face lit up brightly .

“Why don’t we test that right here, right now?”

Radoria and Kelt stood in place and faced Desir .

“It’ll be worth a try against us two . ”

“I’m not sure if that’s a good idea . ”

“You’re underestimating us . We weren’t just idling, Desir . ”

Kelt stretched his hand forward and some noise echoed out .

*Rumble*

The amount of mana being circulated was unbelievable .

Kelt had improved so much that it wasn’t even comparable to what Desir had witnessed him able to do last year .

The waves began to roll . He started handling the water .

This place was the sea . It was the best battlefield for a water attribute magician .

Radoria also started invoking her own magic . A simple flick of her hand made the air in the area begin to boil, and soon the railing of the ship ignited .

Only after seeing them start to move in earnest did Desir get into position and prepare his own magic .

“I’ll give it a go . ”

Radoria and Kelt were diligent in increasing and protecting their ranks in the academy . They were superb magicians who lasted quite far into the Shadow Labyrinth in his previous life .

Desir called forth his mana . His newly formed Fourth-Circle started rotating .

He could feel an amount of mana available to him that was totally beyond what he was capable of before . Spell arrays formed around him covering an area far greater than he had ever been capable of before .

He truly felt that he became stronger .

“Here we go . ”

Shortly after, spells collided and created an ungodly cacophony .

*Boom*

Enormous explosions resonated all over the battlefield .
