I filtered out unimportant low tier magical schools. I quickly browsed through the spells that I obtained as bonuses from levelling up elemental magic.

Ding!

'Hmm, one looks like a direct update of my current path and the second looks like a new path. I will think about it later. I have to solve other issues first.'

I looked at the glassed crater again before I told dark, "You mentioned some communication stones. Did you manage to catch someone in other parts of the city?'

He took a pure white circular stone out of the pocket. It glowed for a few seconds before he answered, "Most of the culprits are either gone or well hidden. The rest of them attacked our men's before escaping."

'This is definitely not an internal enemy. Probably someone from outside is trying to cause a problem for our new regime. But I have no idea who is it or why is it doing. I will let the darks investigate it. I have little ideas about the world situation of his world and almost no qualification to do that...'

"I will return to the castle. Investigate it and create a list of suspects!" I flapped my wings, speeding towards a castle before they got a chance to respond.

I approached a window to my room. Someone closed it, so I cast [Phase] spell. My body became incorporeal for two seconds. I quickly approached a glass panel and passed through it like through the water surface. There I sat in the armchair placed next to the fireplace and analysed my class options.

'So, the first one looks like it's focused on combining different elements with a death element. The second one feels like it will focus even more than the first one on combining many elements into a single spell. Both of them looks similar... Hmm, that second class is is only a novice rank, but its colour is the same as the master rank of the first one. That probably means that it has better bonuses. There is no description for them.' I kept pondering about the issue while relaxing in front of the fireplace. Time passed, and I only noticed it when my surrounding darkened during sunset.

'It's decided, I will take a second path. What am I even thinking about so long' I picked a second option, and I fell to the ground as a weird feeling filled my brain... no, my soul. It felt like a hot burning iron slowly engraving something into my soul.

Your class was upgraded to [Novice Multielementalist]

You learned class passive skill [Elemental Comprehension]

[Universal Elemental Comprehension]: Skill unique to [Multielementalist] class and its variants. Its a passive skill. When you level up a magical school through the regular way (using it) it will allow you to level up one of the additional magical school that is directly connected to the levelled magical school.

My heart started to beat faster as I looked at a totally op new skill. 'With this, I will be basically levelling two magical schools at the price of the one... That will be amazing for long term growth. '

"Knock, knock", someone knocked at my doors. I moved my hand and opened them with a [Telekinesis]. Rose walked into my room with a solemn expression.

"These disturbances are probably caused by an outside enemy! That is not good."

I coughed up before replying, "Ehmm, that was obvious from the beginning..."

She froze for a few moments before continuing, "Anyway, there is a high chance that they are supported by one of the three empires that are bordering the city. They are probably trying to create a disturbance that can be used to place their puppet as a city lord."

I frowned, "Just tell me a solution. By the way, how did they even manage to get into the city so fast."

"They were probably already in the city in the form of sleeping agents and for the solution. We have to simply prevail; there is no easier solution."

"Ehmm, why are you standing there. Come in and sit here." I pointed towards an armchair next to mine. Rose's eyes gleamed as she walked in and sat in the armchair while smiling.

Then I continued, "Maybe we could contact Aliford and contract him to set up some magical formation that will alert us at the moment that someone uses the magic of higher intensity. There will probably be a high amount of false alerts, but it will be helpful."

I laughed to myself internally, 'I don't even know if what I said is even doable. I hope I am not making a fool out of me.'

Rose looked at me with a confused look, "It is definitely possible, but to create such a large scale magical formation is not a simple project... It requires lots of resources and skilled mages. It is impossible to hide and can't be done any time soon."

I coughed up in embarrassment.

"We will just have to survive through this hardship." Rose happy expression turned solemn again.

'Wait for a second, I maybe have something that can help...'
