Genius Wizard Breaking Limits - Chapter 314

Episode 314 Candidates (1)

There is such a thing as balance in this world.

It was a word that could of course also be used for living things like humans.

Although the body and strength may not achieve a very perfect equilibrium, it is normal to keep a minimum balance within a limited standard.

“Otherwise, terrible things will happen. For example, even though you can exert the power to bring down a mountain, your body collapses and explodes because you can’t handle the reaction.”

The Librarian narrowed his brows.

“The extreme point that prevents this catastrophe is the limit. And below that upper limit, it is harmonious when they harmonize with each other to create a synergistic effect without being overly focused on either side. But the mage named Asher, who came to the library, is completely against that reason.”

“How do you mean?”

“It’s seriously disproportionate.”

His magic circuit pulsates strongly.

As more dense magical energy was concentrated in his eyes, a blue ring appeared in his pale purple pupils.

The ‘ring of origin’ passed down from the ancient lineage.

Wizards who have inherited that special eye can see through things that are invisible to normal people.

The Librarian went beyond the objects and observed the man in the distance.

“Like its appearance, it is full of youthful vitality. Even taking into account the error, it is clear that he is no more than thirty years old. But, that kind of magic… … .”

It’s really vast.

At first glance, it is difficult to fathom the total amount of mana hidden inside. It feels like looking at the vast expanse of the sea.

Horsepower exceeded the 6th rank.

“More than simply excessive, it is completely out of the realm of harmony. To have reached such a level at that age must have achieved artificial rapid growth. It is normal that the bowl and body should have been destroyed and died without a trace.”

“But Asher-sama didn’t feel that way at all.”

The Librarian nodded at Listener’s question.

“I felt that way too. It seemed that he was not fine, but rather that he was able to dominate and control his own power. So that’s a problem. Because you’re blatantly violating magical common sense. and… … .”

The Librarian’s eyes narrowed.

“Even in that magical abyss, something sleeps. No, would it be more accurate that he did not wake up?”

“What is that… … .”

“Even I don’t know. It is so deep that even these eyes cannot see through it. But what… … To put it bluntly, compared to the existing mages, the realm seems ambiguous. Do you think it seems that you haven’t pioneered magic? It must be clear that that presence is a mage.”

Being a mage but not a mage… … .

Magic is the realm of enlightenment.

Whether a 5th tier or higher wizard has paved his or her own path, there are only two. There is no such thing as a middle ground.

Since the concept of mage was born in the world of magic, such a case has never been observed.

“… … That is difficult for me to understand.”

“I didn’t mean to understand. ‘Cause I don’t even know what I’m talking about It’s just how it feels, how it feels.”

he shrugged.

“At the last meeting, I agreed to give Asher an ancient ordeal. And he wisely thought he would give up halfway through. But it worked. That alone is shocking, but I could never have imagined that he would exist like that.”

incomprehensible.

The Librarian laughed as he defined Asher that way.

“Huh, I told you to recruit candidates for the ark… … Listener, who the hell did you bring?”

It was the second question.

Listener scratched his head awkwardly.

“I don’t know either.”

“Heh heh, that’s right. Anyway, this year’s exchange matches will be very different from usual. The two wizards who are new candidates this time. One is a genius who has mastered a ‘new kind of magic’, and the other is a genius who has reached a level that cannot be called a candidate level.”

“yes? You mean the new magic?”

“Did you not hear? Ah, the Central Continent was not in your charge, so you might not know.”

The Librarian laughed lightly.

“Well, you’ll know when you see it.”

Meanwhile, Verden raised altitude with .

When he found the IF-48 floor the Librarian had mentioned, he was greeted with perfectly arranged books.

Unfamiliar titles.

I sneakily picked up a book and looked at the contents, and there was a theory about the 6th tier enchantment magic.

“… … It’s amazing.”

So did other books.

In addition to theory, each book contains practical 6th tier magic. It was not enough to be called a repository of knowledge.

I wanted to keep all the books in front of me in my head.

‘But there is no time for that.’

Originally, Verden promised not to fulfill all the duties of the ark, but only to undergo trials. Instead, the Ark’s information network and members are not available.

‘The reason why Ark’s facilities can be used like now is probably because of the uniqueness of the Ark meeting.’

The ark meeting will be held tomorrow.

can’t stay long

If it’s as long as a day or two, if it’s short, you might leave as soon as the meeting is over.

Considering that, I had to find a magic that would benefit me from a practical point of view.

Excessive appetite is prohibited.

Disciplined and carefully examined the book.

Verden’s mainstream is elemental magic.

Secondarily, it is a strengthening magic belonging to the endowment system, which makes up for the magician’s lack of physical ability so that he can demonstrate his ability even in close combat.

Although it is possible to use spirit-type magic that is included under enchantment magic, it is very difficult to use the 5th tier or higher.

If you throw away everything else and shut yourself up for a few months, you can reach a certain level… … In the first place, it wasn’t an option.

It would be extremely inefficient to change the strategy right now, unless I could afford it later.

Above all, it is also a situation where we are finally on the right track of our journey. So, you need to get magic that can be used as power immediately.

The range is a 6th tier endowment magic that directly affects the caster.

After rummaging through several bookshelves, Verden finally found the three magics he wanted.

Each consists of theory, practice, and application, totaling 11 volumes.

No matter how fast you read, you will have to stay up all night here, excluding meals and sleep, but it is not a big deal.

Verden, who brought all the books with , went downstairs.

There is nowhere to sit.

Well, it didn’t matter anyway.

I sat down roughly on one side, leaned my back against the bookshelf, and immediately immersed myself in reading.

Just like the old times when I secretly read books in the Mage Tower.

There is a room for candidates in Ark.

Without any exceptions, all of them are expanded with space magic, so even though the entrance is narrow, the inside is comparable to a modest mansion.

Even if you don’t have to go to the restaurant, the convenience is so great that you don’t have to go outside with the facilities equipped inside, such as bringing meals if you want.

No one could deny that it is a cozy and comfortable place for those who like to be alone.

In that space, a wizard with his robe turned inside out sat quietly on a chair.

“There is such a thing as an island in the sky… … What would Professor Dale say? I’m sure you’ll be surprised enough to faint. Maybe you won’t wake up… … Well, maybe.”

The wizard shook his head and said.

Of course, he had no intention of disclosing information about the Ark or the Ark to the outside world. She promised so, but also because of the significance of the ark’s existence.

Ark, a secret organization for mankind.

It’s not just empty words, it’s a group that has the power to realize ideology. Isn’t that something incredibly cool?

Just being able to be a part of such people excites me and overflows with a sense of mission. He was at an age with his own pure ideals.

The wizard laughed lightly, then suddenly stopped.

“Finally, tomorrow is the Ark Conference… … It’s a day of exchanges.”

The day the candidates for the ark prove themselves.

There is no obligation for everyone to attend, but new candidates like him must come to Ark and experience exchange battles.

I’m used to showing magic in front of many people.

However, this time, I had to show my skills in front of the best people from all over the world, so I was naturally nervous.

Still, it is a mountain to climb.

‘Because I’m a genius.’

Everyone has said that since I was born.

The principal, professors, seniors and juniors, and even classmates. Most praised him as a genius, and the wizard never failed to disappoint them.

The jealousy of others has also been taken for granted.

‘Come to think of it, they say there are other candidates besides me.’

I heard that they subdued a corner of Gluttony.

We know that a group called Gluttony are traitors to the Ark and are monsters that eat humans.

However, since I had never met him in person, I didn’t really realize how great of an achievement it was.

Well, it seems obvious that it is great.

‘I’m sure he said he was a wizard. What kind of person is he?’

Is it because it’s the same new candidate?

A strange sense of kinship arose. I had a feeling that maybe he might belong to the same genius as himself.

The wizard took a deep breath and calmed his pounding heart.

Then he took out a strange object from his bosom.

At the bottom was a flat brass-colored metal with countless lines forming a magical structure, and above it was a special magic item with a round ceiling and a transparent membrane like glass blocking the inside and outside.

He slowly blew magic into it.

The inner image was projected. Then, blue light gathered inside, and a ferocious wolf composed of magical power was formed.

The size of the palm of your hand.

The wizard smiled at him.

“Can I do well?”

[Kyungkong!]

The wolf howled.

The promised day has arrived.

The scenery was still the same because there was little change in natural weather or light in Ark. The center where light and darkness coexist is still dreamy.

Layla, fully armed, looked at the city of Ark.

There were many people coming and going in the area where the members of the ark lived, and few people in other places.

Overall, its population density is very low compared to any other city on Earth. As you can see, most of the buildings were empty.

Even though I came to Ark several times, there was a reason why it still didn’t touch my skin realistically.

In the meantime, Teyla, who was standing by, said.

“This is Locke and Theon.”

Leila turned her head.

As she said, there were only two of them. Facing them, Leila tilted her head.

“You sure didn’t say you were coming with Asher? Why are there only two of you?”

“Oh, well, I went to the room, but it wasn’t there. When I asked around, they said they had never been there in the first place. Have you not seen Leila-sister?”

Leila shook her head.

Yesterday, after training my sword and ki at the training ground, I went in and rested, so I had no chance to run into them. He had never been seen around here.

“Couldn’t he have gone before us?”

“well. Somehow I don’t think so… … We still have time, so let’s wait a little longer. I have to pass this way to get there anyway.”

Did 20 minutes pass like that?

Sensing a familiar presence on the other side, everyone turned their gaze in that direction.

Verden and Listener.

Two people who were waiting were walking.

“Brother Asher! waited a long time… … huh?”

Locke ran over and stared at the listener, blinking. Dark circles had settled down, and he looked tired somewhere.

“You look very tired. what happened?”

“I couldn’t go to work.”

While Verden was preoccupied with obtaining the enchantment, Listener had to spend his days in the library with his eyes open.

It was only after Verden achieved his goal that he noticed him.

“… … It was not intentional.”

Anyway, it was entirely Verden’s fault.
