Chapter 147: Challenge Accepted

The Thousand Birds Explosion spell was an advanced magic spell that only full-fledged mages could master. Its demanding prerequisites in terms of mana and focus levels made it an unattainable goal for initiates like Sein.

Nevertheless, “Mass Explosion”, the advanced spell and “Firebird”, the enhanced intermediate magic spell were within their learning capabilities.

Understanding the spell models for these two magic spells extended beyond the curriculum of the Pyro Elemental Transformation course.

Toward the end of the class, Eileen casually mentioned, “For those interested in the enhanced Firebird spell and Mass Explosion spell, you can acquire the knowledge of the relevant spell models from me by spending magicoins.”

“Of course, they won’t be too expensive. I know some of you are quite well-off here.” She chuckled.

The intermediate and advanced magic spells had indeed captured the interest of several initiates after personally witnessing their potency in the class.

However, Eileen did not disclose the specific cost of acquiring the knowledge related to these two spell models.

It was assumed that curious initiates could inquire about the price privately.

“By the way, I must remind you that modifying spell models is no simple task. Beyond the need for extensive foundational knowledge, it also requires spending a significant amount of time on trial and error, and it comes with extreme risks. I assume none of you want to end up getting killed by an explosion in your own laboratory, right?

“Although I had improved the Firebird and Mass Explosion spells when I was still an initiate, it was an extremely risky process. You will only truly possess the foundational qualities to manipulate magic, or rather, create an entirely new form of magic after you become a full-fledged mage.

“Until then, your focus should be on mastering the intermediate and advanced magic spells that have already been developed and experimented on by our predecessors,” Eileen added.

Sein wholeheartedly agreed with Eileen’s advice. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

The numerous explosions he had caused in Grantt Castle during his attempts at modifying magic spells showcased the perilous nature of magic research.

Moreover, considering Mass Explosion was an advanced magic spell, the amount of magicoins needed to acquire it was definitely not as cheap as Eileen had portrayed.

Although Sein was quite fascinated with that advanced magic spell, he decided against investing the cost to acquire it.

The price was definitely not an issue, but Sein already had specific plans for his time and research direction. He had no spare time to learn the Mass Explosion spell from Eileen.

At the conclusion of the class, Eileen swiftly departed with her crystal ball and experimental instruments.

Therefore, Sein had to adhere to the rules and pursue his objectives within the allowed boundaries.

Suppressing the rising hostility in him, Sein maintained an expressionless face as he looked up at Mark.

In his light blue eyes, there was a terrifying coldness suppressed within them, as well as a subtle flash of gold hinting at a power simmering within.

"Fine, the arena stage it is. Let’s go,” Sein replied.

The rapid change in Sein’s demeanor caused Mark, initially brimming with laughter, to gradually collect his smile.

It was not a voluntary act, for Sein’s expression at this moment was both chilling and terrifying.

His eyes reflected experiences of darkness and death, giving Mark an unsettling feeling. Sein was staring at him as if he were already dead.

Mark, a senior initiate ranked 17th in the academy's power rankings, was by no means a weakling.

His hands had been stained with the blood of magic beasts and humans or other initiates on multiple occasions.

Mark hailed from the ruling family of a dukedom within the Viridescent Land.

Despite being a lesser-known dukedom, it was a complete nation with a population numbering in the millions.

Mark possessed combat prowess surpassing that of his peers. In his teens and twenties, he actively participated in wars between the dukedom and its neighboring nations.

On multiple occasions, he led his retainers on ventures into the magic beast forest within the dukedom as part of their training.

Undoubtedly, Mark was an initiate with considerable strength. However, his strength did not grant him the authority to provoke or incite Sein.

The verbal sparring between the two senior initiates in the classroom piqued the curiosity of other initiates, who eagerly observed the unfolding drama.

The academy life at divine tower was enriching and hectic for these initiates.

While a few initiates fully immersed themselves in their studies with patience over the years like Sein, the majority of initiates still needed some entertainment in their lives.

The noble balls hosted by initiates in the academy was one of the ways to alleviate the pressures of their studies.

Additionally, the battles on the arena stage also drew the attention of numerous initiates within the divine tower academy.
