Ascension To Divine Throne - Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Is He Silver-Ranked?
Chapter 94: Is He a Silver-tier?

Micro runes, as the most fundamental means of utilizing elemental power, are the cornerstone of most spell models and the essence of magic.

Due to the difficulty in observing and controlling micro runes, most mages nowadays only scratch the surface of studying and researching them, content with understanding and successfully constructing spell models, unwilling to invest more energy into it.

But Josef knew that studying and researching micro runes was the true path to mastering elemental power and reaching the pinnacle of legend.

And surprisingly, William, as a Silver-tier novice mage, had a remarkably high level of mastery over micro runes.

Josef could confirm that even Bernie, who had devoted some time to studying micro runes, was far inferior to William.

Moreover, despite this, William remained quite humble in his communication and exchange with Josef, without any sense of conceit.

So, Josef was now thoroughly satisfied with how he viewed William, almost to the point of wanting to show him off to their old friends right away.

No rush, though. Since William was still a student at the Magic Academy, Josef decided to clarify their relationship before anything else.

William earnestly consulted Josef on some precautions regarding mass production of enchanted products. After all, while William, Mora, and Bernie might have some experience, they were not as skilled as Josef in enchanted products.

Naturally, Josef didn’t refuse, patiently explaining to William and promising to help if William encountered trouble in other areas in the future.

A promise from a master of runes was quite precious!

William felt grateful. Honestly, although he did want to garner support from Josef before coming here, he didn’t expect Josef to be so decisive and supportive.

As a result, William spent almost the entire day in the Fifth Magic Workshop before bidding farewell as dusk approached.

When leaving, Bernie specifically escorted William downstairs, arousing speculation among the ordinary research students on the second floor about who William was to have received such proactive treatment from their senior.

Having made plans with Bernie to meet up the next day, William left with brisk steps, feeling somewhat puzzled as if he had forgotten something.

After a moment’s thought, William turned back and found Angela, who had already fallen asleep on the third floor, lifted her onto his shoulder, then left contentedly.

Forgot the bodyguard!

Today’s gains were significant; he wouldn’t need to put too much effort into improving the “self-charging” magic runes anymore! With Josef and Bernie’s support, William could divert his energy to other matters.

If he were to meet Mora tomorrow…

That should be fine, but he still needed the support of Baron Karl and Duke Harold, in order to leverage the power of the Golden Vine Flower Merchants Association and the Canlight United Chamber of Commerce.

It wasn’t a simple matter at all!

William felt a headache coming on. But there was no other way; to strive for more benefits, he had to expend this energy and time.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, right?

As William’s thoughts raced, he suddenly remembered the treasure on him, the “Lucky Brooch of Arcadia.”

Would he encounter a stroke of good luck if he used it when not facing danger?

But considering the looming misfortunes ahead, William decided against it; it’s better not to court fate needlessly.

As he pondered, William happened to pass by the Academy’s practice grounds, a place specifically for Academy students to practice spells or spar with each other, with defensive magic formations in place to prevent accidental injuries.

Seeing a few people still watching something inside, seemingly engaged in a competition, William paid it no mind. Most of his attention was consumed by thoughts of tomorrow’s discussions.

Just as William was about to leave, preparing to catch a carriage back to the Academy’s gate…

Suddenly, his sixth sense alerted him, and William swiftly turned around.

The sound of blasts and shattering resonated, accompanied by gasps from the spectators nearby.

The magic array in the field, for some unknown reason, shattered directly under the wind elemental slash cast by the student, and the residual momentum of the wind blade flew straight towards William’s direction.

Judging by its momentum, it should have the power of an advanced bronze tier.

William’s mind tightened, and a faint white glow of an advanced elemental shield appeared beside him.

Before the wind blade could impact the shield, Angela, who was sleeping on William’s shoulder, slightly opened her eyes, and a crimson light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shattering the wind blade.

The dispersing airflow rustled William’s clothes, but his expression was somewhat inexplicable.

“Sorry, are you alright?”

The two students who were fighting in the field quickly ran over, continuously apologizing. Looking at their anxious appearance, it seemed they hadn’t expected the defensive magic formation in the field to malfunction.

“It’s okay, I’m fine anyway.”

William smiled and said to the two, seeming unconcerned about the incident.

After accepting their apologies, William left straightaway.

Interesting!

William strolled leisurely towards the Academy’s gate, pondering.

Coincidence?

William never believed in such coincidences.

With just over a month left until the Annual Holy Festival, is it time to act?

‘I want to see what other coincidences await me!’

——

In a secret base in the Canlight City, Robert awaited the response from his subordinates.

Since receiving the task from Prince Julius, Camus couldn’t be found, and William had been hiding at home after coming back, making it impossible for Robert to complete his reconnaissance mission.

Today, he finally got some news. It was said that William had visited the Fifth Magic Workshop of the Fis Royal Magic Academy again. Robert hurriedly arranged for people to prepare to probe William’s details on his usual route.

Why hasn’t he returned yet? Has William spent so long in the workshop?

Robert glanced at the sky outside. The sunset, tinged blood-red, was enchanting yet carried a hint of danger.

Bang!

The door was pushed open from outside, and the person seemed somewhat anxious.

Robert turned around and saw that the person who came in was one of his subordinates from the Magic Academy, the one who almost “accidentally injured” William.

Robert walked to the seat and sat down, calmly picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip, waiting for his subordinate to report the situation.

This was Robert’s experience. No matter what happens, one must remain steady. As the leader, this is necessary to maintain control over one’s subordinates.

“Lord Robert, as per your instructions, we probed William.”

“I am quite certain that William himself should be a Silver-tier mage!”

Pfft~ Cough!

Robert completely forgot to maintain his composure. All the wine he had just drunk spurted out, his face full of disbelief as he looked at his subordinate.

What in the name of lord!

Silver-tier?
