"These magic crystals can be exchanged for 100 points, Karl."

After the shock, the teacher exchanged the magical crystals for points.

He stored the points into Karl's magic card.

Karl took the magic card with a smile and said, "Thank you, teacher."

After the three of them exchanged everything, they left.

When they got back to school, the sky was completely dark.

The three of them had their meal together.

Karl parted ways with Elena and her sister outside their villa. When he returned to his dormitory, he found his roommate William bruised and battered.

He found out what happened after asking him about it.

In the afternoon, William was training in the school's cultivation room when he was chased out by a bunch of people forcefully.

He got into a fight with them.

They were senior students of the Magic Academy. Their ranks were higher than his, and there were several of them.

William was obviously not a match for them. He was chased out of the room after he got beat up.

"These people are too arrogant… ouch!"

William clenched his fists. He was furious. When he spoke, the wound at the corner of his mouth hurt.

He gasped in pain.

In the end, he still helplessly unclenched his fists and said in a self-deprecating manner, "These people are at least beginner three-star mages. How can I possibly defeat them?"

Karl was silent as he looked at William.

He had thought that the Magic Academy would be peaceful. Everyone would be very polite and diligent in cultivating magic.

But now, it seemed like he was mistaken.

After all, this was a world where magic and power were respected.

Power meant that he could do whatever he wanted.

This was an unchanging truth regardless which world he was in.

"Remember these people. It won't be too late to take revenge when your rank increases."

Karl said slowly.

"I hope that day will come." William was a little depressed.

Karl walked over and patted his shoulder, saying, "Work hard to improve yourself. Only when you become stronger will you realize that this world is so beautiful."

Perhaps he saw his past self in William.

Karl comforted him.

The same thing had happened to him back in Rost City.

Not long after he joined Violet High School, he had a conflict with Rimon.

But he was luckier than William. He had Adrien as a good friend.

Then, Karl returned to his cultivation room upstairs.

He practiced compressing magic.

After a day in Devil's Den, he was now completely proficient in compressing magic and could achieve 100% success in compressing magic.

After that, Karl washed himself and went to bed.

After all, he was tired after fighting for a day.

Just as he was about to go to bed, there was a knock on his bedroom door.

Karl opened the door. It was his roommate, William.

William had treated his wounds. He looked at Karl and asked, "Have you been to the Devil's Den, Karl? What is it like inside?"

"It's okay. Why? Are you planning to enter the Devil's Den?"

Karl asked.

"Yes." William nodded.

Ever since he became a mage, he had never experienced actual combat.

After all, actual combat was dangerous.

However, after experiencing such humiliation in the afternoon, he decided to head to the Devil's Den to train.

"If you don't have a pass, you can look for your special admission teacher. He will get you a pass. Then, he will tell you some things to take note of after entering the Devil's Den."

Karl repeated slowly.

He could sense that William had suffered a huge blow.

For mages, actual combat was the fastest way to improve their rank.

Except him, of course.

"I understand. I'll leave you to sleep, Karl. Good night."

William could tell that Karl was preparing to go to bed.

Hence, he left tactfully.

After William left, there was a sound in Karl's mind.

"Ding!"

The system's voice suddenly rang out.

This sound confused Karl.

After all, other than during the testing ceremony when he had binded the system to Rayne, it had not taken the initiative to speak to him again.

What did the system want to tell him now?

"The system will be updated automatically. It will take about ten minutes."

System update?

Karl was surprised. He did not expect the system to be updated. After the update, would there be many functions?

He looked forward to it.

Ten minutes later.

"Ding, system update successful. This update will allow the host to see the level of the binded target on your attribute panel."

After the system message ended. It fell quiet.

Karl had waited for a long time. He could not help but ask, "System, you took ten minutes for the upgrade, and this function is the only thing you added?"

[Yes.]

The System answered.

"…Alright."

Karl opened his attribute panel.

[Host: Karl Soro]

Rank: One-star mage (Beginner stage)

Magical Talent: Lightning Elite Lightning Magical Talent

Magic Skill: Calamity of Destruction

Binded Target 1: Headmaster of Violet High School, Rayne Kirby, an Great Mage (Intermediate stage).

The only difference between this attribute panel and the previous one was…

He was able to see Rayne's exact level. He was an intermediate stage Great Mage.

Other than that, it was as if there were no updates.

"It might as well have not been updated." Karl sighed. He had waited for nothing.

After that, he stopped thinking about the system. He lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning.

Karl woke up from his sleep. He did not open the system panel this time either.

He recited in his mind, "System, share Rene's cultivation gains for the day."

[Sharing cultivation experience with the host!]

The system soon made its announcement.

After the announcement, a white gas appeared in the air.

When he saw the white gas, Karl was stunned.

The white gas was much thicker than before.

What was going on?

Before Karl could think further, the white gas was absorbed into his body.

Karl could clearly feel that his rank had increased by a large margin.

This stunned him.

The increase today was much more obvious than before.

If this improvement continued, he would soon become an intermediate stage two-star mage.

What was going on? Why did it suddenly increase so much?

Then Karl seemed to remember something.

He quickly opened his attribute panel.

Compared to last night, the only change was that his target, Rayne, was now an advanced stage Great Mage!
