Chapter 1996 Aptitudes

The two Romans, Armenius and Titus, displayed an eagerness to enroll in the magus academy, envisioning it as an advanced institution where they would be instructed by divine beings. Though their understanding was limited, the prospect of learning from god-like figures fueled their enthusiasm.

Kingrig of the Mayans approached the opportunity with little expectation. His decision to join was purely instinctual, driven by a desire to stay close to the strongest warriors and further hone his skills.

The Han Swordsman, Ha Ron, proved a bit more challenging to convince. Filled with distrust, he was reluctant to join something beyond his comprehension. Employing spirit reading, Emery discerned the young man's reluctance. However, a demonstration of advanced sword techniques managed to capture Ha Ron's interest, revealing a thirst for knowledge beneath his guarded exterior.

Despite this progress, Broken Sword and Flying Snow, Ha Ron's mentors, cautioned Emery about the young man rebellous character. His answer was firm. "Don't worry; I'll take responsibility for him,"

Emery, having maintained a consistent line of communication with the Magus Academy, was optimistic about securing at least two additional spots for the upcoming entrance exams scheduled to commence in a month. While he ardently hoped that Magus Nathan could facilitate these positions, Emery pragmatically acknowledged that if this were not possible, he would need to choose the most promising candidates from the existing group of four.

Among the aspirants, Kingrig stood out with an exceptional A spirit aptitude, while the others displayed B aptitudes. Emery, drawing from his own experiences, knew that innate aptitudes were not the sole determinants of talent. Reflecting on his own journey as a C aptitude, Emery firmly believed that, given access to the magus universe, these four warriors could be guided to reach their maximum potential within the next five years.

Having crafted a persuasive message to the individual overseeing the magus academy entrance, Emery awaited a reply, the outcome of which would chart the course for the young warriors. He advised the four to return to their families and friends while anticipating news in the coming weeks, their fate inextricably tied to the reply that would determine their journey toward the magus realm.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Following the culmination of the tournament, Emery gathered the four accomplished warriors—Brandt, Octavius, Glita, and Gwen—within the sacred confines of the Bodhi Temple. The assembly included all the magus figures; Klea, Chumo, Ashaka, and Grand Magus Fuxi, all contributing their insights to guide these individuals onto the magus path.

This realistic outlook was shared by all the magus present, including the venerable Grand Magus Fuxi. Remarkably, Gwen accepted this destiny with calm resolve, portraying a resilience that left a profound impact on the onlookers.

Feeling the weight of Emery's concerns, Klea intervened with a thoughtful suggestion. "We can utilize faction merits to grant her access to the magus universe. This would significantly enhance her chances of reaching the magus realm faster."

The idea of using faction merits, to allow non-magus to enter the magus universe, was met with approval from the gathered magus. Despite the large amount of cost, Emery expressed his intention to provide Gwen with the best opportunities. The others, too, supported the decision. However, to their surprise, Gwen respectfully declined the offer.

"If this means I have to spend dozens of years away from my people, I must sincerely decline."

It was never truly Gwen's wish to become immortal; hence, the decision was easy for her to make. Emery sighed, realizing the difficulty of convincing her otherwise. The weight of this decision lingered in his thoughts over the next few days, until an idea came to him.

With Terra City requiring Emery's presence, he found a solution. Deciding to spend a portion of his merits, he secured a two-

week passage into a magus world. Approaching Gwen, he extended an invitation,

"Come and see the outside world with me."
