“What? How can he not be a strength-type mage with that kind of physical strength?” The spectators exclaimed in astonishment. They couldn’t believe that with his physical strength that was higher than some strength type mages, he wasn’t one himself.
“Well, if he has strong physical strength, it doesn’t always signify that he would be a strength-type mage. Moreover, his agility is also higher than some agility-type mages.” A silver-haired beauty standing in front of a room not far away casually commented.
Hearing this, the disciple near her nodded. “Indeed, his agility is also a lot higher.”
“Miss Salena, can you tell me what could be the reason behind his strength and agility, according to you?” A handsome man, standing near the silver-haired beauty, who looked to be in his early twenties, asked.
Although he seemed interested in knowing the reason, one could tell that he only wanted to converse with the beauty.
The silver-haired woman glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
This made the man smile awkwardly. Suddenly, his eyes twinkled, and he glanced at the disciples around him with a stern look.
The disciples shuddered as his snake-like eyes locked onto them. They hurriedly nodded in agreement and started asking,.
“Yes, miss, p-please explain. We also want to know the reason.”
The silver-haired beauty glanced at the snake-eyed youth with disgust and wariness. Although she didn’t want to speak to him for certain reasons, seeing that he was intimidating others to ask her, she nodded and slowly explained.
“If someone is talented enough and is willing to invest enough time and resources, they can obviously train their other attributes, as you all should already know.” She said curtly.
Just when the snake-eyed man thought she wouldn’t say anything, she turned to look at Max and continued.
“Of course, it’s not so easy, and you need to work countless times harder than someone who only focuses on one specific attribute, and even after all that, it’s a pretty challenging task to raise the other attributes to the peak.
In the case of this blue-haired guy, I can’t imagine how hard he must have worked to train his agility and strength to the peak of the two-star realm. After all, he isn’t even twenty yet.” As she said the last part, her eyes twinkled.
…
Max looked at the bulky man without saying anything for a second and nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm. Can you tell me what’s your element?” The bulky man didn’t look surprised and asked another question.
“Fire,” Max said with a faint smile.
The bulky man revealed a surprised look. He had previously thought that his element must be somewhat unique, allowing him to train both agility and strength. However, if he had fire element, then it meant that he had trained them without any elemental advantage.
The bulky man looked at him solemnly and said, “Since you are so talented, I guess you’ll also participate in the selection competition in four months. I’ll make sure to defeat you fair and square then.” Saying this, he walked toward the training room.
The other three didn’t stop him since they knew they weren’t his match.
They looked at Max warily. Now that they were alone here, they would be beaten easily if he were to attack them.
Max looked at the bulky man and sighed. He wasn’t interested in competing with others, but others seemed to think of him as their opponent.
He then looked toward the three disciples, which made them take a step back, and asked, “So, do any of you still want to beat me up?”
“N-No. We don’t.” All three of them hurriedly shook their heads.
“Good for you.” Seeing their reaction, Max nodded in satisfaction and walked toward the stairs to the first floor.
Everyone moved out to the sides and gave way. Some looked at him with admiration, awe, and respect, while some with battle intent and envy.
As he reached the exit, the two guards also nodded toward him. Max also nodded and once again realized that only the strong were respected.
…
After leaving the training ground, Max went to find Belen and the others to give them their Mana stones, but he didn’t find any of them.
Therefore, he returned to his room to rest and wait for ‘Foundation strengthening liquid’ to arrive.
When it was past noon, finally someone came to deliver the liquid. It was Jasmine’s maid.
“Young master, Mistress sent me to give this to you.” She took a small crystal bottle and handed it to him.
Max received the bottle and nodded. “Okay. Give you mistress my thanks.”
“Yes, young master.” The maid nodded and said in a low voice, “Young master, mistress asked me to tell you that before you go out on your first mission, please g-give mistress another visit.”
Hearing this, his eyes twinkled, and he nodded. “Okay! Tell her I’ll come.”
After he had agreed to become her sex partner, Jasmine had told him to come to her whenever she called him; in return, she would give him all the resources within her capacity.
Although Max liked the second part of the deal, he didn’t agree to this requirement of hers. So, after a prolonged ‘argument,’ they had mutually decided that whenever she called him, he would ‘visit’ her if he wasn’t busy.
‘Sigh… only if she was willing to do it daily, I might have gained enough LPs to buy that pill for Flavia.’ He sighed.
Max had suggested that they could do it daily if she wanted. However, for some reason, she didn’t agree.
When Max was browsing through the medicine section, he had found a grade four pill called the ‘Appearance returning pill’ that could heal any facial scar or abnormalities and make a face even more beautiful than before.
But being a grade four pill in the system shop, it had a sky-high cost of half a million LPs which he couldn’t afford.
…
After the maid had returned, Max closed the door and sat cross-legged with the crystal bottle in his hand.
‘Hopefully, my core will be strengthened after this.’ Max thought and drank the liquid in one gulp.
