Chapter 11: World Is Cruel (1)

Robes were a type of gear that proved very useful for wizards. Although made of silk, they incorporated special materials and were usually tailored to perfectly fit the user, aiding in the cultivation of mana more easily.

While not extremely rare, they still commanded a hefty price, typically ranging from twenty to forty middle-grade stones.

Aur walked out of his room to find Evelyn, Adam, and his little sister Ava all dressed up nicely and neatly.

"Is this your awakening ceremony or mine?" he muttered.

"Let's go then."

....

When someone turned eight, they had the opportunity to shape their mental space by tempering the essence of the world, and the larger the mental space, the better it was.

Mental space is divided into four sections: low grade, medium grade, large grade, and the supreme grade, depending on its size.

Basically, talent is measured by how high one's mental space can be.

The mage tier is divided into nine stages, starting from the first stage to the ninth stage. However, there is a stage that is not considered as a mage nor an ordinary man, and that is the mage apprentice stage.

Each of the tiers is divided into four sections: beginning, middle, high, and peak stage for each tier of mage, including mage apprentice.

You will instantly become a mage apprentice the moment you form your mental space.

A middle-aged man with neat black hair, a bow tie, a black suit, and goggles on, addressed everyone as he looked around at all the people present here.

Aur yawned as he listened to the words he already knew; he had received his education from his father, Adam. He looked around to see at least a hundred childrens all surrounding him as he blended in with the crowds of children.

"I wonder how many steps he can take?"

"He will probably take at least 25 steps, right?"

"You are right."

Gertrude's ears twitched as he heard the murmurs, but his expression remained proud. He enjoyed the attention he was gaining, walking proudly into the room with an arrogant expression on his face.

"Let's see how many steps I can take," he stretched his body with an air of confidence and put his left foot forward.

Boom!

A terrifying pressure descended on him as he started to sweat, his body crackling with pressure, causing him to immediately kneel to the ground.

Seeing this, the old man shook his head, and the children were all in stunned silence as they looked at the kneeling hulking man.

"He can't even take one step?"

A hushed voice said, but no one spoke another word. Their expressions turned serious as they looked at the man, their eyes widened as if they couldn't believe reality.

The man in casual clothing was sitting on a sofa with distinctive purple hair above the children. His eyes glinted with a strange light as he observed Gertrude.

"Looks like the second eldest child is a disappointment."

He looked at the elderly man, whose fist tightened with anger. "Leader, I am sorry for the disappointment."

"It's nothing, Second Elder. Let's just watch for now," the man said as he joined his hands, carefully observing the situation.

The Second Elder was confused when he heard this, but he remained silent, and the others elders were also all silent.
