YM778.TV Chapter 41 Breakthrough
When he got back, Leo immediately went back to his room. He was incredibly excited and would have to calm down before he started training. Before going, he made sure to remind Daphne not to disturb him.
"I will be training for the rest of the day. You can just go out and have some fun. You earned it." He said.
She was curious why he wasn\'t happy too but didn\'t question it. She already saw how they both kept the core while the others only took the materials left, but she guessed there was a previous arrangement. She decided it was better to wait until he explained everything to her at once.
It was only an hour after noon by the time they came back, so Daphne could go shopping. For the rest of the afternoon, he was planning on just resting and relaxing in preparation for what he was planning on doing later that night.
When he had enough rest, it was already dark and Daphne had come back as well. He just calmed himself down for a long time before finally going into his room to start training.
Leo started controlling his breathing to get ready for his breakthrough. He could sense the vast amount of magic inside the Beast Core that he had worked hard for and he couldn\'t wait to absorb it.
Once he decided that he was ready, he started the process of breaking through. He had two 1st Circle Beast Cores that he squeezed dry in a few seconds. He noticed that the stars sucked in magical energy a lot easier when he forced the cloud to form into a star.
After the two 1st Circle Cores were depleted, he took out the 2nd Circle Beast Core and started concentrating deeply. The magic cloud in his head glowed brighter as he started fusing it together. Since it wasn\'t his first time, he did it with ease. He knew exactly what to do.
He also noticed that the cloud was massive compared to the first star, but it was also further away. It looked like it was the same size from the ground, but he knew there was a huge difference in their sizes.
As the Beast Core\'s magic started to deplete, the cloud got smaller and smaller. Eventually, the entire cloud collapsed into itself and gave out a burst of magical energy. The entire room glowed for a second before going back to normal.
Leo opened his eyes with a smile. He knew he succeeded. He looked down at his arm and saw the tattoo on his hand shining. For the first time since he got it, it gave him a reaction. He immediately pictured himself entering the white space in his mind to see what happened.
When he entered the room, alongside the door that led to his mind, he saw another door. The door was the same as the other one, put the engraving on it said \'Training Room\'. He opened it and found himself in a similar white room as before.
However, there was a desk with a single book on top of it. He went closer and picked the book up. It said, "Book of Spells". The book was decorated lavishly in a similar design to the tome.
He opened the book and started reading it. He recognized the content on the first two pages. It was the Magic Bullet Spell and the Magic Arrow spell that had initially appeared in his mind. He saw the title of the section. It said 1st Star.
He immediately understood what the book and the training room were for. The book held the spells that he could learn, and the training room was for him to practice the spells. He guessed that the spells he would have to learn would be so hard that he couldn\'t automatically learn them. He guessed that magic had limits too.
He quickly went to the next few pages. He saw that a new section started. It said 2nd Star. He looked forward to the spells he would be able to learn.
[Flame Burst]
[A spell that creates a sudden burst of flame, burning enemies in a small area.]
Along with the description, there was a picture of a human body with a flowing magic power diagram where the magic was moving on the paper. He was astonished and went to the next page.
[Shadow step]
[A spell that allows the caster to move quickly and silently through shadows, making them difficult to track and detect.]
[Elementary Arcane Shield]
[A spell that creates a protective barrier around the caster, absorbing incoming attacks and reducing damage taken.]
The other spells also had similar diagrams. He touched on one of the diagrams to see if he could feel the fluid motion on the paper. When he did, the room suddenly changed. The room suddenly had a new addition. It was a black silhouette in front of Leo.
The silhouette had a glowing magic path that Leo could see. He was essentially seeing through the silhouette\'s body. The figure gathered the magic in a specific way and then released it into a shield around it. It was a very simple shield that was made of huge hexagons.
Leo looked back at the book and saw that he touched the page that held the Elementary Arcane Shield. He kissed his wrist.
"Thank you for this gift, Mr. Tome. I thank you for it." He thanked the tattoo. He would now be able to learn the spells and even improve his proficiency in them with this room. It would be life-changing.
When Leo opened his eyes again, he saw the state of the night outside through his window. It had probably hit midnight based on his estimate of time. He suddenly realized that his perception was incredibly high.
He could sense things even though he couldn\'t see them physically. He could sense that Daphne was in the other room and could even feel the aura in her body to some extent. The difference between the 1st Star and the 2nd Star was immense.
Before, he knew his perception was slightly better. But now, he could see a lot clearly and his mind was working just as fast to keep track of everything around him. The magic was making him very superhuman.
More importantly, he could sense the energy inside Daphne\'s room and could even feel how different it was compared to his own magic. He realized that it was Aura, which was a really good thing.
Now, with an Aura Gathering Pill, he could also try to become an Aura Knight and make his life a lot simpler.
He took a deep breath and calmed down. He still had one thing to do before all of that. Before even trying to start training in Aura, he would have to get rid of the Blacktooth Gang. They probably went back to being active once they felt the mage wouldn\'t show up again.
He just couldn\'t allow a threat like them to stay in the city where he knew people would be exploited by them. Moreover, he could definitely crush them with his magic and even earn a lot out of the exchange. He wasn\'t going to be doing volunteer work. Everything that they had, he was going to take for himself.
