(From MC Perspective)

Evening,

It’s been a good day today, I haven’t received many calls. Which gives me enough time to make a report. Working here as a part timer has been an eye opener for me. In a way I can see the world of Rogue Mages. What is even more horrible is that some legal factions were deliberately enabling these kinds of forces.

Sighing, I walked out the Police Headquarters. My First day of work turned out well. Right now I need to see whether there is a branch of Claudia Gym here. I heard the opening of a new branch, But I’m not clear about the location. It would be better if they divide the Red City into a few smaller cities.

While thinking, I browsed their site to view. Soon their website opened up, I clicked and searched for their branches. My eyes soon lit up with surprise as I found their nearby branch here. Which saves me a lot of trouble. Tomorrow , I expect there will be a lot of drama in school. So it’s good to improve my strength.

Going to Claudia gym will help me consume the exotic flower. After sorting out my thoughts, I hopped into a nearby air taxi to visit.

“I don’t know what’s happening on the side of Captain Tyler.” I mumbled inside the air car. But anyway he told me that he will send me some work by tomorrow evening, I will ask him then. Soon the white air taxi reaches the Claudia gym the it slowly lands on the platform.

After paying the fees, I hopped out of the car. I was greeted by the huge billboard saying Claudia Gym. Unlike the one near my home, surprisingly this one is small in size. After glancing at the building for a while, I walk forwards to the receptionist desk.

After paying the fee, I hurried towards the mana chamber.

“Creak” the door slid open.

The atmosphere is same as the last one. After steeping inside the door closed itself. Then I immediately turned on the mana chamber. In the next moment the enormous amount of mana began to pour via the inlet with a buzzing sound.

My cells refreshens when I breathe in such pure mana. With a delightful gleam I sat cross legged and took out the exotic flower from the storage bracelet. A sense of pity flashes before my eyes when I observe the blue five petal flower. The exotic flower is much more efficient when it’s used to make potions.

Right now it’s efficacy will be reduced. Having no choice, I swallowed it directly. With intake of pure mana energy added with exotic flowers. I felt tearing pain all over my body. This is the first time I’m consuming such a raw exotic flower. My only worry is that there will be some side effects later. There is no flower with 100% purity. Even mana potions have some left over impurities.

When I felt tearing pain, a ding resonated in my mind.

I feel a wave of energy washing over my mind. I don’t know how to describe this feeling. One hand I feel tearing pain in my vein and there is some energy cooling my mind. Suddenly hearing the sound I knew the system detected something. I slowly opened my eyes to see the virtual status panel.

What Subgrade? I twitched. I thought Old Wallace was being generous. But he gave me a sub grade one which is under Grade 1 relics. This subgrade flower is really cheap. Old Wallace really tricked me. My demeanor changes for a moment, “Next time when he begs for his student. I will bleed his pocket for sure” a ruthless glint flashes in my eyes when I made up my mind.

Shaking my head I can only blame myself. My botany knowledge is very poor. What is shocking though is that this relic is really poisonous with over 60% impurity. No wonder Mages don’t dare to consume it directly.

They choose to go for Potions. Fortunately, I have a system. It immediately filtered out the impurities and allowed the pure energies to pass on. If those impurities accumulated in my body then my breakthrough time would have further increased.

The Mage Path is such a difficult path. Soon I feel the pain being lessened, I know the efficacy is being reduced. Soon the pure energy dries out. I can feel my thoughts are very clear, there is no block what’s over it. Feeling it, I begin to meditate.

The Gravity Ark method started to operate, with the presence of pure mana energy. The circulation turns faster. The Gravity Ark method turns pure mana energy into pure gravity energy for circulation. The Gravity energy begins to circulate the route as per mental method and finally settles on the heart core after circulation.

Time progresses,

After two hours, the mana chamber turned off. I opened my eyes and viewed the status panel. There is not much change in the status panel. My expression frowns a little bit. How come there is no change after consumption of 40% mind energy? Suddenly I noticed a subtle change. The intelligence attribute is raised by one point, it’s 13 Now.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. My fantasy breaks down suddenly, I dreamt about heaven defying changes after consuming this exotic flower. But reality is really harsh.

Then I smiled, though it’s disappointing but I got valuable lessons from it. Sub-Grade-40%? Then what about Grade 1 relics and above? Sure, Knowledge is power. Now I have direction, Since my system can neglect impurities. I will collect sub-grade relics as much as possible.

If I start to consume it, then quantity becomes qualitative over the period of time. Then I’m sure that my attributes will have drastic changes.

After sorting out my thoughts, I exited the essence chamber.

…

Little Mint Town,

Vice Captain Alan was surrounded by thugs. He is deliberately putting an act of panic stricken humans to lure over the thugs. Now these thugs were near him, He plans to collect intel without much commotion.

“Ha…Ha…Ha…I have never done such an easy killing in my life.” The Fatty Boss licked his lips after seeing Panic stricken Alan. In his eyes he is just pigs waiting to be slaughtered.

Hearing the Boss’ words , the rest of them too grinned. The scar faced thugs grinned more evilly. His hands were itching; he couldn’t wait to hack him and check his treasures.

But these goons don’t know what’s awaiting them next. The ideas of these thugs were easily seen through by Vice Captain Alan.

Seeing that there is no need to put up an act, his demeanor changes drastically. From Panic stricken commoner to aura of majestic breath released from him. The thugs were completely drumstruck by the changes. Before anyone could realise Vice Captain Alan releases a little bit of pressure.

“Plop!”

The Five of them planted on the ground directly. In order not to kill them he released a controlled pressure over them.

The Fatty Boss’s mouth is filled with soil, his huge belly making sounds due to fear. The thugs have only one thing in their mind, “Mage”. Everyone is experiencing their worst nightmare. They never had expected to come across a mage in this barren town.

But it’s too late to say anything. Vice Captain Alan knows that fatty is the leader among them. He immediately casts an illusory pill. Immediately everyone’s consciousness changes to a fuzzy state.

Vice Captain Alan walks over to the fatty and starts to ask questions. In a fuzzy state the fatty Boss continues to spill out the little secret that he knows. After a few minutes, He asks other thugs one by one to verify the details.

Then after confirming the details from the last person his expression changes a little. “These thugs were responsible for moving containers to their hideout. But they don’t know what’s inside the container” He muttered to himself.

But he could connect some dots. These containers are really fishy. The rogue mages won’t do something unnecessary. From the details collected from the fatty boss, he confirms these thugs will again move some containers to their hideout after two days.

They unloaded it from the trucks. But these guys don’t know where these trucks comes from. He was really disappointed by the half baked intel. But still it’s enough for the team to think next plan.
