Training-Addicted Mage In A Progression Fantasy-Chapter 15: Magic Power Recovery Honey Candy

Leon hid his Magic Power to the level of a normal person using Bima’s Bracelet and headed towards the center of the city.

The central road of the city, which he hadn’t walked on in a long time, was still bustling.

Passing by the Magic Tower where Arpina’s laboratory was located and walking straight to the outskirts, a gray stone building in Gothic style unfolded before his eyes.

It was different from the Magic Tower with a single high spire.Unlike the clean outer wall of the Magic Tower, it was a large building with several spires connected, each engraved with various intricate decorations.

A wide site was formed around the eye-catching building.

It was the Widia Academy.

At the entrance, people who were older than Leon but still had a youthful look were walking around with books tucked under their arms.There weren’t many of them, probably because it was a holiday.

Leon passed through the Main Gate, looking around curiously, and headed towards the large circular arena located on one side of the Academy grounds, as Ria had told him.

Entering the spectator seats, he found people sitting sparsely.

I thought it would be packed, but I guess not?

It seemed that since it was a sparring match between personal disciples who had not yet entered the Academy, it did not attract much attention from the Academy students.

Still, it wasn’t completely empty.

In the very front of the spectator seats, people who looked like high-level Mages were sitting in a row.

It seems like the sparring match is more of interest to the high-level Mages than the students.

It seemed that the sparring was between their personal disciples.Among them, Arpina was also sitting.

Leon sat in an empty seat at the back.

And soon, the sparring began.

The sparring proceeded in a quieter atmosphere than Leon had expected.

Two disciples entered the arena, greeted each other politely, and began the sparring.

Most of them looked definitely younger than the Academy students.

Occasionally, there were scenes of 2nd Grade disciples sparring, but most of them were 1st Grade.Ria had said that it usually takes 2-3 years for Mages with ordinary talent to advance from 1st Grade to 2nd Grade.Here, ordinary talent referred to Mages who did not have a Single Attribute Body.This included those with Double or Triple Attribute Bodies.

Leon had shortened this to 6 months through the power of the Elixir and the absurdly good training environment of the Magic Orb.

It takes much longer to advance from 2nd Grade to 3rd Grade......

He had passed that in just 5 months.

While Leon was watching the sparring and gauging his own skills, Ria entered the arena.

Her opponent was Rowen.

Didn’t she say she was 2nd Grade? ...Is the difference between them not that big?

What Leon felt when facing Paulin was that even a difference of 1st Grade was quite insurmountable.If Leon hadn’t drastically reduced the time it took to manifest magic through Arpina’s unique magic and refrained from using the Artifact he received as a reward, he couldn’t have guaranteed victory.

Both Ria and Rowen would have learned unique magic, so the difference wouldn’t be significant.Artifacts were also not something that could be possessed in large quantities unless it was a special case like Leon.

Is it simply a matter of comparing their talents?

This time, Leon focused on watching the sparring.

Ria was the first to attack.

“Aqua Sentinel!”

Ria seemed to have learned Arpina Basic Magic, just like Leon, as befits Arpina’s disciple.Although Ria had a Light Attribute Body, there was nothing as efficient as Arpina Basic Magic for the training of an Apprentice Mage.

A blue Slime floated around her.It was a much clearer blue than Leon’s Slime.

Is it the difference in Magic Quality? ......Or just the difference in attribute talent?

Ria, with her Light Attribute Body, would naturally be weaker in Water Magic.

While Ria chanted the incantation, Rowen also chanted a memorized spell.

“Fireball!”

A fireball similar to the Triple Fireball Leon had used floated around Rowen.Rowen didn’t immediately attack Ria with the fireball.It seemed she was being cautious since it was Water Magic, which had an advantage over her.

“Blast!”

Ria chanted the linked magic of Aqua Sentinel and immediately began chanting another spell.

“Light, dwell in my hand. Lumen Manus!”“Flame Barrier.”

As Rowen raised her palm, a wall of fire rose from the ground.Being 2nd Grade, she could memorize two spells.

Rowen immediately chanted another spell.

“Let the wall become sharp thorns and pierce the enemy!”

The flames that had risen turned into multiple thorns and rushed towards Ria.

The light hand manifested by Ria collided with Rowen’s fire thorns.

Bang-

The intense clash pushed Ria back.

“Oh?”“Indeed......”“Oh, to withstand that attack...... Is it the talent of the Light Attribute? No, it might be a higher Magic Quality......”

One of the Mages watching the sparring from the front muttered quite loudly.

Ria, who had frowned and stepped back, didn’t look good either.It was hard for a 1st Grade Mage to block a 2nd Grade Mage’s attack head-on.Just blocking it was enough to hurt Rowen’s pride.

Rowen immediately threw the fireball she had summoned earlier at Ria.

“The spark is the manifestation of my will, rise and annihilate.”“Water Wave!”

Ria responded with a linked magic of Aqua Sentinel. If it were an ordinary magic, she would have blocked it with the advantage of attribute and talent, but Rowen’s magic was extraordinary.

The sparks from the large fireball turned into small fireballs and rushed towards Ria.

Ria urgently chanted.

“Awaken, Magic Power. Infusion!”

Leon widened his eyes.The magic Ria urgently chanted was the same as the one Paulin had used.A magic that suddenly boosts physical abilities.

Is this also Common Magic......?

Ria, with her enhanced agility, quickly dodged the fireballs rushing through the water stream.

By then, Rowen was already chanting another spell.

Several more exchanges followed.

The situation, which had been gradually tilting, ended with Rowen’s victory as Ria’s Magic Power ran out first.

Leon, who had been watching this, analyzed the reason for Rowen’s victory.

The advantage of Memorize.

With the increased number of spells that could be used by just chanting the incantation, Rowen, who had a bit more leeway, won.Otherwise, Ria would have won.It was also because the strength of Light Attribute Magic was not yet clearly manifested as she was still an Apprentice 1st Grade.

Leon’s analysis seemed to be correct, as the high-level Mages were all praising Ria after the sparring ended.Even though the winner was Rowen.

Leon, who was going down to the arena to congratulate, stopped when he saw the crowd around Ria.

Rowen is also a Six Attribute Body, so she has tremendous talent......

Leon glanced at Rowen’s face.

As expected, her face was noticeably dark.A man who seemed to be her master approached and patted her on the back.

It looked more like consolation than celebration.

Rowen’s expression darkened even more, as if she felt it too.

Rowen’s master soon approached Arpina and started a conversation.She was left alone.

Leon, who had been watching Rowen, soon met her eyes as she turned her head.

She bit her lip and quickly turned her head away again.

Leon, after glancing at Ria, who was receiving praise from the Mages, approached Rowen.

“Why do you look so unhappy when you won?”“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

Rowen glared sharply.Leon shrugged.

“It’s true that you won, so why beat yourself up?”“Can’t you see the people flocking around her? They all think she’s more amazing than me, so they don’t even look at me.”“But I came to congratulate you?”“...Did you think I would be foolishly happy? You came to mock me too! Oh, or did you come to me because you couldn’t approach her?”

Leon shook his head.He didn’t intend to have a long conversation anyway, so he just said what he wanted to say.

“Your combination of fire magic was impressive.”“What would a normal person know......”“Here, a congratulatory gift.”

Leon interrupted Rowen and held out his palm.On it was a Magic Power recovery honey candy.

“What is this......”“A candy that gives you strength when you’re tired.”“What...”“Just take it.”

He forcibly placed the candy in Rowen’s hand.

“Don’t dig a hole for yourself over others’ reactions, eat this and cheer up. That’s all I have to say.”

Leon turned around without waiting for Rowen’s response.He knew she would just glare at him anyway.

In fact, Leon’s dislike for Rowen was genuine.To be more precise, he was indifferent.

He wouldn’t step in if Rowen was in trouble unless it affected him negatively.

But seeing her struggling alone against a wall stirred some unknown pity in him.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it reminded him of Park Hyunsoo, who had been stuck at home after losing the use of his legs.

It’s just that seeing a young kid already struggling alone touches something instinctive in humans.

Was this the sentiment of a modern person?Leon glanced at the Mages around Ria, who seemed quite cold-hearted.

Then he met Ria’s eyes.

“Hiss.”

......No, why am I surprised?

Leon awkwardly smiled and waved at Ria.

Even though Ria had noticed Leon, her face didn’t brighten up as usual, and she just alternated between looking at Leon and Rowen.
