"Woof!"

The adorable little puppy jumped out of the portal and flew towards Adam. The youth was astonished to see this creature come at him.

His lips widened in elation, but before he could even speak a word, the puppy landed on his face and started fondly licking him.

Valerian, who was lazily lying down beside the youth, suddenly raised his head and saw the newcomer. Then, his eyes widened in surprise. "Blackie!"

The young dragon hurriedly got on Adam's lap and then jumped toward Blackie, hugging him warmly. The puppy patted Valerian's head and nodded from time to time as if he were a senior inspecting his junior's progress.

"Blackie, did the old man send a letter?" Adam asked nervously.

It had been more than two months since he had written Berger a letter. But ever since then, he hadn't received a reply yet. This caused him to be filled with anxiety, wondering if something had happened to the gnome.

But now seeing Blackie appear before him, the weight in his heart lifted, albeit slightly. It wasn't until the cute puppy nodded his head that Adam finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright!" Adam quickly put away the grimoire and his quill inside his earring. He got up from his seat while carrying Blackie and Valerian in his arms and walked toward his dorm room.

After entering his room, he locked the door behind him and eagerly said, "Hurry, give me the letter."

Blackie glanced at the youth with narrowed eyes and growled, "Grrr!"

Hearing his response, Adam's lips couldn't help but twitch. He cleared his throat and began once again, "Can you please give me the old man's letter, Lord Blackie?"

"Woof!" Blackie happily nodded his head.

A moment later, he coughed out a rolled parchment paper from his mouth. Surprisingly enough, the paper wasn't covered in mucus or anything. On the contrary, it was dry and smelled fresh.

Adam knew about Blackie's innate ability so he wasn't taken aback by this bizarre scene. He grabbed the rolled paper and walked toward his study table. He took his seat and began reading, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

While Valerian cheerfully ran around Blackie, trying to get his attention in an adorable manner, Adam silently read the contents of the letter.

But the fact remained that there was still a possibility of him dying during the advancement.

If he was going to die either way, then he had taken it upon himself to break through to the next rank. As a Magus, he couldn't give up just yet. As long as there was the slightest chance, he would grasp it.

Berger had mentioned all of this in the letter without hiding a single detail from Adam.

The youth began pacing back and forth inside his room, his hands incessantly trembling. His eyes turned red and tears flowed down his face as he incoherently mumbled under his breath, "W-What do I do? What can I do?

"Should I leave the castle and journey back to Moon City? N-No, it will take me at least eight months to reach, and by that time... I'm afraid..."

Adam didn't dare finish his words. For a moment, he felt extremely helpless. He wasn't ready to lose the old man whom he loved and cherished as his own family.

"Huuu..." He exhaled a deep breath and wiped his eyes.

His jet-black pupils shone with immense resolve as he walked back to his study table. He took

out a fresh parchment paper and dipped the quill in ink.

He gritted his teeth and began frantically writing down everything he knew about the advancement to the Mana Core Rank!

All the memories of those experts from the greater universe... All their experiences... All the potion

recipes that can be considered essential for the advancement...

Their comprehensions of the Way... Their familiarity with breaking through to Rank 4...

Take it! I will write them all down for you!

Study it and become a Mana Core Magus!

Old man... you cannot die!

I won't lose you as well!
