I Can Bind The Legendary Archmage To Train For Me! Chapter 6
Advertisement
Back in the classroom.
Karl's classmates could clearly feel the change in his body.
Not only was he more handsome,
There was a faint sense of intimidation exuding from his body.
Everyone could sense it.
"Oh, Karl, you've become a mage?"
Adrien asked in surprise.
Karl nodded. "One-star mage, beginner stage."
"Did the headmaster help?" Adrien said.
"Yes."
"You should thank the headmaster."
"You're right."
A faint smile appeared on Karl's face. Headmaster Rayne was a good example of someone who kept his skills hidden.
Everyone, including the teachers, knew that he was a mage.
However, he had never seen Rayne reveal his strength.
Therefore, the people in the school thought that he was only a low-ranked mage.
Nobody knew he was a Great Mage.
Furthermore, if Rayne did not reveal his strength, no one would believe him even if he told them.
After all, how many Great Mages were willing to become the headmaster of a high school?
What a joke.
An archmage might not be interested even if it was the position of a City Lord.
The news of Karl becoming a mage quickly spread throughout Violet High School.
This caused another uproar amongst the students.
Even though everyone already knew that it was only a matter of time before someone becomes a mage after being assessed with magical talent assessment.
However, it was still shocking when a mage really appeared among their classmates.
Of course, there were also people who were furious.
That was Rimon, sitting in the corner.
He stared hard at Karl, who was at the center of everyone's attention. He clenched his fists so tightly they turned white, and he bit so hard that his teeth might shatter.
He felt extremely psychological imbalance and jealous.
But he could only curse Karl in his heart.

Usually, when Karl made him uncomfortable, he would mock him.
But today, he didn't dare to say a word.
Otherwise, as a mage, Karl would definitely teach him a lesson. And none of the school's higher-ups would say anything.
There was nothing he could do about this frustrating situation.
It was terrible.
After school.
Back at home.
Karl's house wasn't small, but it had been empty ever since his parents died in battle.
Therefore, he always felt a sense of loss every time he returned home.
He took out the scroll from his sleeve, unrolled it, and placed it on the table.
The complete contents of the Calamity of Destruction.
He spent the entire night cultivating the Calamity of Destruction to the elementary level.
The next morning.
Karl awoke from his meditation.
He opened his attribute panel.
[Host: Karl Soro]
Rank: One-star mage (Initial stage)
Magical Talent: Lightning Elite Lightning Magical Talent
Magic Skill: Calamity of Destruction
Binded Target 1: Headmaster of Violet High School, Rayne Kirby, and Great Mage.
This time, the difference on the attribute panel was the details after Rank and Magic Skill.
Moreover.
Karl discovered that there was an additional "+" in pale gold after Binded Target 1.
He immediately understood.
He presumed that this was what Rayne had obtained from one night of cultivation. Then, he was able to share it to increase his strength.
At this thought, Karl's eyes shone.
Without any hesitation, he chanted in his mind, "System, share Rayne's cultivation experience."
[Sharing cultivation experience with the host.]
Following the system's voice.
A white gas that only Karl could see appeared in the void.
This was what Rayne had gained from his cultivation that day. Karl was able to share everything.
The white gas quickly fused into Karl's body.
With the infusion of this gas, a golden shimmer appeared on the surface of Karl's body.

His body suddenly trembled.
An intense aura emanated from Karl's body and circulated around the room.
In addition, his mind was filled with intelligence as his spiritual energy soared!
As Rayne's cultivation was shared with Karl, Karl's had broken through to the next rank.
His rank advanced directly.
From a beginner stage one-star made, he advanced to the intermediate stage.
"Just one day of cultivation experience is enough for me to breakthrough a rank. What about ten days, twenty days? What about a year? What about binding another powerful mage?"
Karl thought to himself as his eyes lit up.
However, he also knew that along with the increase of his rank, the amount of cultivation required would increase.
Later.
Karl left the house and headed for Violet High School.
Along the way, many students took the initiative to greet him, their tone were respectful and envious.
Not long after they sat down in the classroom.
Their form teacher, Ivanov, hurried over and said to Karl, "Karl, the people from the four major magic academies are here."
"So soon?"
Hearing Ivanov's words, Karl was surprised.
Headmaster Rayne had just told him yesterday that the four major magic academies might only arrive in a few days.
He did not expect them to come so soon.
In fact, Rayne underestimated the importance of talents to the four major magic academies.
Elite magical talent!
There weren't even many within the Four Major Magic Academies.
There were a total of 20,000 students in the Four Major Magic Academies.
These students had all been chosen from the best of the best in the various cities of the Empire.
Even so, there were only twenty or so elite magical talents in the Four Major Magic Academies.
At this moment.
In the headmaster's office.
Karl walked in and immediately saw the recruitment teachers from the Four Major Magic Academies.
After some introduction.
One of them was an old man and the other was a skinny middle-aged man. They were from two magic academies in the Empire.
A middle-aged man with white hair and a tall and sturdy body was from the magic academy in the far west of the Empire.
As for the last person.
It was a tall, beautiful young woman.
Her name was Gargado, and he was from the southern Holy Vestige Magic Academy.
All four of them were nine-star mages.
Furthermore, they did not restrain their auras. Each and every one of their auras were terrifying and shocking.
Facing them, Karl felt like he was standing in a tsunami. He felt extremely small.
It was as though he would be doomed with a single thought from the other party.
"Alright, don't scare the child."
Rayne said slowly.
Hearing Rayne, the four nine-star mages looked at him in awe and quickly restrained his aura.

8 208Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
