Chapter 177 Timely Improvement In Strength

(From MC's Perspective)

Claudia Gym,

The mana finally settled in the mana core after a fast and smooth circulation. My mana core's grey misty area began to grow larger. I continued to absorb and circulate mana using the Gravity Ark Method as time passed.

I can tell my body is much stronger now than it was a few hours ago.

"System, Show my stats panel," I instructed the system.

In front of me was the status panel. But before I knew it, I had a huge smile on my face. Except for vitality, my attributes have improved.

My eyes twinkled with joy. This is completely out of the ordinary. Practicing mental methods inside the mana chamber undoubtedly yielded significant results. It also depicts the effect of orange-grade talent.

First, I focused on the Mana Core Statistics. My lips curved into arcs as I noticed it had risen to 3%. It's actually a 1%/hour increase. That is, if I can practice here for 97 hours, I will have formed my level-1 core. If my assumption is correct, I will not have to wait for another 1.5 years.

At the moment, I'm thankful that I made the right decision in joining the adventurers' union as a hunter. The mana chamber is inaccessible without alliance points. I then retracted my thoughts and concentrated on my mana reserve.

"650!" I was surprised. Outside, gravity mana is in short supply. As a result, it has always been a difficult factor when it comes to replenishing the mana reserve. I realized this is the first time I crossed 500 points in Mana Reserve. This saved me from spending several hours meditating.

Next, I begin to observe five basic statistics. My strength has increased by three points. The image of Easton Brown suddenly flashed before my eyes. "Easton has 35 points in strength. And his magical ability may provide him with a doubling effect during a fight. As a result, his statistics cannot be measured using conventional methods "I mumbled under my breath.

Then a brief glint appears in front of my eyes. I discovered a link between the mana core and my physical characteristics.

My physique attributes improve whenever my mana core improves. That means that with regular practice, I can outperform Easton Brown in a matter of weeks. But I saw his condition today.

That guy is obviously looking for a fight. So he's not going to wait a week to confront me. I'll be able to avoid him until the weekend. However, he will undoubtedly challenge me during combat training class.

Several ideas come to mind. I want to be the winner who suppressed him completely. Easton's magic is the source of the problem here. Even if I stay here for one more session, it will not help me. It will only increase my stats by one point.

However, it is insignificant when pitted against iron-physique wizards.

SIGH

I exhaled a small sigh. I can only come up with a tie based on my calculations. Because, I'm not sure how his body works under gravitational force.

These are crucial factors in determining the outcome of the duel. A buzzing reminder notification rang inside the room as I was lost in thought. The buzzer jolted me back to reality.

I noticed another customer standing outside. Then, without further thought, I exited the room using the access code. When I went outside, there was a petite woman waiting for me. "Sorry, I took some time to adjust my breath," I said, embarrassedly.

Hearing that, the woman nodded and walked past me into the mana chamber room. I walked towards the elevator to leave the building, seeing that there was no longer any trouble. I noticed an air cab after walking out of Claudia Gym after I got down.

Claudia Gym is a busy place that draws wizards from all over the city. It also saves me time from looking for an air cab. I informed the driver of my destination once I was inside the air car.

I'd already purchased my return ticket. As a result, returning will not be difficult. Then I returned my attention to my status panel. Spells are important in addition to mana core, mana reserve, and physique attributes.

I need to figure out how to improve my spell proficiency. In today's technology, constant practice is the norm. I believe pioneers have discovered some solutions to this as well. When I was thinking about spells, I couldn't help but think of those weirdo's.

An adventurer team with a group of cruel female wizards who practice ancient spell incantation. Their spells were of a higher caliber. I suppose forming a magical circle requires skill as well. Then I start to think about my current situation. In total, I have only 800 alliance points.

With that amount, I can use the mana chamber one more time. But, in order to face Easton Brown, I believe I need to improve my stats above 35. I believe I can suppress his physique with my gravitational force once my stats surpass his. In my mind, a good plan was formed.

I need to use the mana chamber at least three more times for this to work. I currently have 800 alliance points. So I'm going to ask my parents for another 1000 alliance points. It appears to be a viable plan, but earlier I've decided to stop relying on my parents.

If I do this now, I'm literally contradicting myself. I noticed the air cab was slowly descending while I was lost in thought.  I retracted my thoughts and observed the train station around me. When the cab came to a complete stop, I stepped out and paid the fare.

Then I walk towards the station. After half an hour, the train began to move towards the destination, and I simply lay back in my seat. I sighed internally as I considered the money. When it comes to Easton Brown, it's fine if he starts to show signs of change.

I'll be able to fight him fairly and squarely at the end of the month. Then I won't have to put pressure on myself to improve quickly. It's already difficult to maintain a low profile at school. It's also not a good idea if I drastically increase my strength. "Let's wait and see what Easton Brown does," I grumbled.

I got home a few hours later. I went to my room after receiving a lengthy reprimand from my parents. And then promptly collapsed into bed and fell asleep.

​ …

Wizard Police Headquarters,

The prison cell "Creak,"  the door opens after the magic circle is deactivated.

The prison cell was dark when three of them entered inside. To dispel the darkness, Wizard Dale Berg used a simple light spell. Wizard Billy, on the other hand, had already discovered Leon Willy's collapsed body.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after probing Leon's physique with his mind. "What's going on?" he inquired. Dale Berg turned to face him and asked, "About what?" "See for yourself," Billy said, shaking his head, pointing to the corner of the prison cell.

Wizard Eva stood quietly behind them. She is still nervous about confronting Leon Willy. When the light spell illuminated the surroundings, the darkness was swept away, revealing Leon Willy's collapsed body.

Ms. Eva took a step back in fear when she saw this. She is just a level 3 wizard. She doesn't want to be affected by Leon's sudden action. At the same time, Dale Berg used his mental power to probe Leon Willy. His face appeared normal at first, but as he found something amiss, his expression darkened. "Was there anyone before us?" Dale Berg was curious.

Hearing this, Wizard Billy sighed deeply and stated, "It's very likely, otherwise his physique would not have deteriorated."

Dale Berg gave him a nod. But, as far as he knows, no one interrogated him, there is no one here aside from the guards of the prison cell.

Wizard Billy's eyes light up with a quick glint.

When he apprehended Leon Willy, he noticed his physique was in good shape, but what happened now? Did anyone really come before us? The building also has the presence of other level-5 powerhouses.

But he's not sure if they have anything to do with Leon's weakened state.

Leon Willy, on the other hand, was terrified. He recognized the visitors, particularly wizard Billy, after hearing their voices. He didn't open his eyes because he was afraid and kept acting.
