Chapter 14 (2/2)

‘Although my talent has increased, my lifespan will not increase until I reach the realm of the great mage. Cultivating other types of magic would be far less meaningful to me than increasing my lifespan.’

He pondered. The attitude of the tester from before was enough to explain everything. Previously, due to the limitation of a mage’s lifespan, the older he was, the weaker his strength would be.

Andrew was now a hundred times stronger than his peers, but it was only because his talent was too high. If he could solve the lag in his lifespan, his ability would soar again.

‘In that case, I should focus on one element first.’

He made up his mind, and then looked at the situation around him with a sudden realization. He found that most of the crystal energy had been drained, and only a few of them seemed to have some stock left.

Andrew thought about it and made up his mind.

‘I’d better leave quickly. Although the training room is booked on a day-to-day basis, draining the magic power in one go is something that the Magic Association probably won’t do once in more than ten years.’

‘It won’t be good if they blame me.’

With this in mind, he opened the door of the training room and quickly disappeared into the Mage Tower.

…

Andrew did not leave the Association directly. He turned around and entered the library again, preparing to find some information about intermediate magic. At this moment, the phone on his waist rang. It was the vice president of the Magic Association, the person who had offered him great benefits.

He was in a good mood. He didn’t know yet that the Magic Crystal Room had already been emptied by Andrew.

“Mr. Smith? We will soon have a big competition with the Academy in Faerun City. Do you wish to grace the competition…”

“The Academy Competition?”

Andrew frowned.

“Yes, your son, Tim, is one of the leading figures in our Academy. Also, Miss Mary has obtained the qualification to participate in the competition. If you are interested, there is still one seat left on the committee. Do you want me to hold that seat for you?”

After Lanza said this, Andrew’s interest was aroused.

Andrew knew the standard of his son Tim, and with the help of the Star Race, to put it bluntly, this competition was most likely his stage.

Thus, after pondering for a moment, he said to the other end of the phone.

“Then President Lanza, I’ll have to trouble you. In addition, when the time comes, I might have to disguise myself a little. After all…”

“Okey, I understand. You don’t want your child to know your current identity, right? I’ll arrange it properly,” Lanza promised happily.

In the Academy’s Grand Competition, it was nominally a competition between students. However, the upper echelons of Rafax City and Faerun City would also fight openly and secretly.

‘Andrew Smith is already quite formidable at the intermediate mage realm. Moreover, from what he said, he has most likely advanced recently. With his help, he will be able to suppress Faerun City!’

The vice president was so excited in his office that he almost knocked over the teacup in his hand..
