12 Bronze Class

Elizabeth gleefully ran to the Royal Library intending to catch a sleeping Austin. 'Hehe, I can't wait to see his cute sleeping face!" Upon arrival, She cast a high-ranked spell, spreading her consciousness through the entire Library and thoroughly checking every nook and cranny.

There was not a single soul in sight.

Elizabeth was dumbfounded. 'How could this be? Where...' Deliberating for a moment, she vanished once again.

...

~The Royal Library Surveillance Room~

Two men were sitting in a half-laying half-sitting position, chatting and munching on snacks with their legs leaning on the table when Elizabeth suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Mortified, they immediately straightened like a soldier in salute.

"Y-your Majesty Elizabeth! T-this is..."

"No one comes to the library at this time, that's why-"

"Cut the crap."

Elizabeth's sharp retort immediately shut them up. Cold beads of sweat formed on their faces. They were fearing for their lives.

Despite being in such a precarious situation, both men involuntarily gulped.

Elizabeth's appearance was too mesmerizing.

An icy cold gaze highlighted her exquisite face in its perfect form. Deep black eyes accompanied by dazzling black hair, she looked like a majestic demonic Queen.

Though they have stayed in the Royal Palace for many years, this was their first time seeing such a breathtaking woman. The rumors that spoke of Elizabeth's beauty could not be expressed with mere words. Her dazzling dress belonged to the highest class of luxury, telling of her position in the Royal Family. How could this enchantress in front of them be anyone else but the Queen?

Not prepared to suddenly come face to face with her, a beast was uncontrollably waking from within.

"Where did Austin go? You have three seconds to answer." Elizabeth did not hide her disdain for their lusty eyes, wanting to quickly get her interrogation over and done with. She knew she would kill them in irritation if they continued looking at her like that.

Knowing Queen Elizabeth was not joking, the two men hurriedly searched their memories for a person named Austin. As guardians of the Royal Library, they were by no means incapable and it did not take long to recover.

"Your Majesty, Austin was last seen at Shelf Z10 before leaving the detection zone."

"Z10? That's impossible. There's no one in the Library. Are you telling me he vanished into thin air?" Elizabeth's overbearing aura was suffocating. Her deathly gaze indescribably hard to withstand.

"This... I swear with my life Your Majesty! The words I speak are the truth."

"Is that right? If I find out otherwise, I will personally behead your entire family before you."

The man who spoke out was horrified. He was indignant with grief. 'Dammit, why did I have to be the one to answer?' Elizabeth then added, "you will both be responsible if a fault is revealed." Making the other man who remained passive wince in fright. The two of them glanced at each other, prying the other if he was hiding something, but straightaway knew this wasn't the case.

Elizabeth wanted to question them further when a familiar aura emerged back at the Residence. 'Laura...' Elizabeth delivered one last wary, penetrating look before fading away.

"Hahhh..." Both of them let out a heavy sigh of relief when Elizabeth left. Their faces did not trickle with sweat anymore but were now drenched in it.

"What's going on?" The more senior-looking man inquired. His timid voice now sounding deep and profound.

"I don't know Sir. Austin was next to the Restricted Area when he was no longer seen by any of our vision orbs. Could he have...?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Pull up the recordings from when he disappeared. There's no way he could have exited the Library without us knowing. For now, we need to appease the Queen's anger. Otherwise..."

They both trembled once again recalling that scary experience.

Meanwhile, in Restricted Area 1. Only one out of the six spellbooks was still dimming a faint blue light. All others had turned colorless and grey.

In the Residence, Laura was in a blind rage and had torn down almost half the building.

In the Surveillance room, two men were vigilantly checking yesterday's recordings of the Royal Library.

In a burning world filled with nothing but fire, a boy was refining the same spell over and over again in his pursuit of perfecting it.

Will the chaos soon return to peace?

Or, will catastrophe fall?

Only time will tell.

...

Austin was inside the Fire World practicing his Fire Ball. The spell looked like just how it sounded. It was a small, sphere-like shape coated with flames. Judging by the heat radiated, Austin's Rank 0 Fireball was easily a few hundred degrees hot. The burning damage it dealt was slightly weaker than Shadow Bolt's corrosion.

'Boom!'

Upon hitting its target, the spell clearly contained the most powerful force out of all other elements. What Fire Ball lacked in lingering damage, it made up for in impact.

Austin was right about Dark and Light Attribute magic being the hardest to learn. Comprehending the Light spell had taken around the same amount of time as Shadow Bolt.

Proceeding to the Earth and Wind spellbooks, they were much easier to master and did not take long at all. Both were completely comprehended in under a day and Austin now had four spells in his arsenal.

He was on the precipice of Bronze Class. An utterly wild concept for a child of just seven years old.

In Fantasia, all children with an affinity for an element attended Magic Academies. These Academies served to introduce children to the basics of magic and teach them how to comprehend spells.

But Austin had simply skipped past all of this.

He did not know anything about magic a few days ago but had started using it without any lectures or demonstrations like it was the most natural thing in the world. In every sense of the word, freak. He was a freak!

What Austin had done was so abnormal that it did not deserve to be called 'talent' anymore. He didn't just 'learn' magic like other youngsters, who comprehend spells to a puny 30% with the guidance of teachers and months of diligent practice.

He perfected them!

With nothing but pure instinct, Austin achieved a feat never done before.

Abnormal! Freak! Monster! No one would get sick of saying these words if news of this spread.

"Fire Ball!"

'Boom!"

A gaping hole was left in the dummy's chest. Compared to his other spells, the initial damage was by far the highest, and taking it head-on without any defenses would be fatal.

"100%, nice. I'm getting used to using magic now, this one only took me a few tries. In terms of offense, Fire spells are definitely the cream of the crop."

Upon finishing comprehension of the spell, Austin was forcibly sent out of the Fire World. He did not know why, but the Light and Dark Worlds did not do this. He had to transmit a thought when wanting to leave those spaces. However, after completely learning their spells, the Earth, Wind and Fire Worlds all automatically drove him out without a choice.

Austin's eyes gleamed with an indiscernible light as he found himself back in a sitting-lotus position. Using spellbooks did not transfer one's physical body to the magic space but rather their spiritual body. However, everything that was experienced and absorbed by the spiritual body was also felt by the real body. Evidently, there was still a lot more in the World of Magic that Austin did not know about and had yet to explore.

Having practiced for the past two days, he was now able to perceive the presence of mana in his body.

Usually, the mana in his body was always tranquil, flowing like a gentle lake through his head to his toes. When casting a spell, a stream of this lake would channel to the release point and the lake would become smaller in size. He could feel the quality of mana improving as his comprehension improved, most likely relating to the purity increasing.

From a mild churning, the mana in his body started uncontrollably speeding up, now thrashing and ramming about like it had life and was trying to escape. However, this did not cause any pain to Austin, but instead, he felt more and more comfortable as each second passed.

"What's happening... This feels so weird"

If anyone else was in Austin shoes right now, they'd treat this moment as one of the greatest excitements in life.

It was an advancement in class.

Austin, at the age of seven, had mastered five fully comprehended spells and was becoming a Bronze Class Mage.

This time, it wasn't his spiritual body. His real body was transcending.

He was entering the star constellation.

What will the stars have in store for him?

For a talent such as him... what trials await?
