214 Connection (2/2)

Wallace was now about to take a rest in his room as he took out the memory crystal that contains the Final Stage of the AOTL.

He trusted that the modified memory crystal he was receiving from the Cloud Hawk Manor wasn't harmful, so he quickly consumed the crystal as he absorbed all the knowledge it contains...

”Roar of Thundering Destruction...”

After muttering the name of the Final Stage of the skill, he couldn't help but think of when will he finish learning this skill. It already took him about a month learning just the 2nd stage. But now, the last stage contains instructions and the difficulty even increased by ten times.

”This is going to be tough...”

Wallace said as he reviewed the training he had to do in order to learn this new skill. Aside from that, his master might be returning after some time and he had to show that he had also practiced his Spirit Forging Magic.

It seems that the Manor wanted to have many people on their side that was capable of creating the Sixth Gen.

As he finished absorbing the knowledge, Wallace heard a notification that he hadn't heard since he retrieved the GN Drive.

Wallace was glad that there was a mission to form his Astral Core. The Pathfinder might have thought that he'll spend all the remaining Aether Force in his other project.

'Rest assured, I didn't forget that I've chosen a path... But... Why would you give me a map of that place? Do you really want me to go there? For what?... Sigh~'

Wallace was already tired as he slept until the afternoon.

A couple of days had passed and the classes and jobs in the city started to operate as normal.

The terrorist attack that previously threatened the city was now almost out of the mind of most people and only a small part was thinking of still leaving the city.

It was due to the efforts of the City Mayor pacifying the nervous people as he dutifully works on his job to ensure their safety.

The problem that was still remaining not only for the Mayor but also for the Leonhearts Academy was the disappearance of the strongest magician in the city. If he returned or someone replaced his position as the strongest, then it will be easier to calm the citizens that were thinking of leaving the place already.

Wallace attended the class and made sure to copy the notes of the lectures that he missed. After all, he still wanted to graduate and take the license examinations in the future.

In the meantime, he heard that Miss Chamber was now acting as the Headmaster of the Academy. Although it was only temporary since the Ministry of Magic Education would still give the final decision on this case, it was still a huge step forward for her desire to become a Headmaster.

Wallace chatted and caught up with his friends at the academy as he still values his social relations. It was an important thing since he was aiming to be an influential person someday so he has to create an image for himself. Part of it was for the sake of the Cloud Hawk Manor as well.

He can't let other people say that just because he became an apprentice of a Grand Arcanist, he was already a cold person or something like that. It might damage the name of the Manor too.

As Wallace returned home. He quickly visited his new workshop that has now two floors and heard Avalon reporting its progress about his attempts to hack Veda using the Terminal he has.

Then, he heard a good or probably bad report from Avalon.

[ A connection to Veda has been made. ]

[ Veda is requesting communication with the user. ]
