Chapter 92 - I Will Become A Mage

Arthur was on one side, and Kai on the other. Kai had his water spear on hands, and one wing behind his back.

There was no weapon Arthur could use, as the only one he had was that mysterious sword that drove him insane.

What was left for him was to use his fists and claws.

“Ready?” Arthur said, and Kai nodded.

They both thought of the same thing, as both of them dashed towards each other. Kai tried to pierce his water spear, but it was easily dodged by Arthur with a side step.

“Take this.”

Arthur prepared to punch Kai in the face, so he instantly retrieved his spear to use as a protection, but it was all a fake.

A kick came from his left side, and all Kai could do in time was to block it using his elbows. He was sent flying and hit a nearby tree.

The impact was so strong that the tree almost broke, and the birds that were on that tree flew away.

That’s was the power of having 100 points in strength. It was no joke.

“You saw that, Kai? Always keep your eyes sharp, as you never know if an attack is a fake.”

“I understand, master.”

Arthur was not used to have Kai calling him master, but it was a sign of respect coming from Kai, so he wouldn’t complain about it.

“Again.”

The two of them kept sparring for hours, and Kai kept learning new things. He had a strong bloodline, and a wonderful talent for magic, but never went into actual fights.

Kai had a lot to learn, and that was coming from someone that barely knew how to properly fight.

When it was time for their last spar fight, Kai hit Arthur. After trying everything and failing, he used a simple tactic of faking, just like Arthur taught him, and it worked.

It was not a powerful hit, just a punch, but it was better than nothing.

“Good job, Kai. I’m proud of you. We will spar 3 times a week, understood?”

“Yes, master.” Kai said as he bowed, watching Arthur return to the school.

~~~~

Peaceful times those were. Arthur had sex with Wisa, tried to add Jane to his harem, trained and taught Kai.

The workers he hired were doing good progress in the recreation’s construction area, and it was already taking shape.

Jack did that favor as well and bought the materials needed. Everything was going in the right direction.

But Arthur could not take away the sensation that someone was watching him. Could a new danger have arrived at his school?

That wasn’t possible. No one new came, unless the danger was already there in the first place…

A month passed, which meant there was only one month left for the tournament Arthur had arranged.

There was one thing that he wanted to change about himself. For that reason, he called Jane and Wisa to his office.

“Arthur, is something wrong?” Jane said.

“Please, you two, sit. I have something important to tell you.”

They did not like that atmosphere, but they sat and waited for Arthur to talk.

“I want to train… to become a mage.”

“What? Why would you do that when your physique is your powerful asset?” Wisa said.

“Hear me out, there is two reasons.”

Wisa calmed down after hearing that.

“The first reason is that mages are cool. I always wanted to become a mage, but you both already know I can’t regenerate mana… Well, I couldn’t, hehe.”

“Remember when I found that girl, Skye? I absorbed an energy down there. I still don’t know its full effects, but a few days ago I absorbed mana just like you.”

That was the truth. Arthur got that celestial body, which he still did not know its powers. The system only said the effects were unknown. But one thing Arthur discovered, he could now absorb mana just like everyone.

Not only that, but it did not harm any of his abilities, which means he could absorb mana, and also absorb the spells just like he always did.

“The other reason is to make an appearance. Our goal here is to expand the school and eventually return to the land. I can’t step inside the land without another identity. To be honest, I’m already a suspect here, being the president of a magic academy, yet I’m no mage.”

Wisa and Jane listened to that, and it made sense. Arthur was a criminal back in the land, and if they wanted to go back, he had to change.

“This is perfect, Arthur. You can’t use your dragon abilities careless, at least not until you reach a point where everyone bows to you. So, if we talk about strength without using those skills, being a mage is the best. Mages are the strongest human individuals in this world.”

Arthur nodded. He suspected that these so-called gods were actually really strong humans that ascended, and the only way they could do that was with mana, which means they were mages, at least in the early days.

“So you do you plan to study magic? With this new batch of students coming, it will be hard for us to teach them and you privately.” Jane said.

The school was rapidly expanding, and a new batch of students was coming in a few days.

“I plan on becoming a student on that batch.”

“What?”

“I may have read a few spell books you have around here and found a spell that allows me to change my appearance.”

“You’re talking about the Myriad of Faces? That’s impossible. It is a spell of the shadow element, which only a few humans… oh, I see.” Wisa smiled.

“I can learn all elements, and recently discovered I’m quite talented. Not being rude, but I can’t be compared to these humans. Anyway, how does the plan sounds?”

“Perfect.”

It was all set. Arthur went out to a nearby island to buy new clothes, and in a few days, he would become a student of magic.

Not like before, being a familiar that could only watch, but now as someone that will learn the ways of the magic, and become the greatest mage there is.
