Wrapped in the flow of the mana, Jareth felt that his body had become much lighter and stronger.

His senses became much faster and better compared to before.

When he opened his eyes, he could feel the massive improvement that the mana purity has brought him.

Still, he glanced at the status window to see it in numerical values.

[Evaluation: The Ruler of mana, the dominator of an era… you are on the path to becoming a new ‘King’ of the human race…]

Looking at that amazing status panel, Jareth felt quite happy at the moment. Mana purity is the fundamental of every mage.

Some mages have spent decades upon decades to just improve their mana purity, and those who have low mana affinity can’t even reach mana purity of grade 3 in a hundred years!

The difference in talent is just too huge.

Only with high mana affinity can you improve your mana purity at a much faster speed.

Although Jareth already had amazing mana affinity due to mana singularity, he would have still needed at least five or so years to reach grade 1 mana purity, which is extremely fast when compared to others, but for Jareth, it’s still quite slow.

But now with the help of the ability improvement card, his mana affinity has been upgraded to the very extreme limits.

Grade ‘X’ here indicates extreme, or the limit of what this ‘World’s Laws’ can allow.

For now, not only Jareth’s mana control but also mana purity has been upgraded to the very limit.

After appreciating that massive buff in mana purity for a while longer, Jareth’s eyes fell on the physical stats of his body.

‘ah yes… Now that I think about it, there was a limiter on the stats…’

’99’ is the max limit for a human body. A human body at its maximum peak can only reach the stats of ’99’.

If you want to go past what a human body is usually capable of, you need to break through to grade 1 and break the genetic limiter.

Only then will your stats be able to past 99.

‘But still… these stats are already quite overpowered…’

Usually, even a peak grade 2 warrior may not have such insane stats, but Jareth already had such a strong body even though he is just a mage.

A complicated look appeared on Jareth’s face as a thought came to his mind,

‘I better not use too much strength from now on otherwise people will start suspecting that I am a warrior disguised as a mage…’

Jareth’s eyes then fell on his ‘Hp’ bar, and he nearly fainted from shock after seeing the numbers.

‘5280!? How the f*ck did I become so tanky!? Not even grade 2 warriors have such a massive health bar!… I have become a literal walking meat-shield!!’

The enhancement that mana brought to his physique was indeed massive.

Jareth was really taken aback by that number.

Moreover, what surprised him the most was that his mana had also increased by a lot, like literally! It increased by 7 times!

‘I have broken through to grade 3 now… this is an unexpected surprise…’

Originally, Jareth thought that mana purity would only increase the purity of his already existing mana.

He hadn’t expected that it might even increase his maximum mana capacity.

‘I think the external mana circuit and this strengthened body must have played a role in this increase of mana…’

‘Sigh~ now I feel guilty for calling that ability enhancement card ‘useless’… that thing is indeed very broken…’

Jareth’s expectations were already quite low from the start, but after getting such a great improvement, he was pleasantly surprised.

‘Good… now that I have reached grade 3, I can learn more higher grade fire type magic spells…’

Although Jareth’s fire elemental affinity is still quite low, he can forcefully learn and use higher grade fire magic as his grade has improved.

Moreover, he has mana singularity; he can make up for the lowered power by using more mana.

Elemental affinity and mana affinity are different things. There are many factors that influence the power of a spell.

If Jareth can enhance them all, then it would increase the power of his spells tremendously.

The main factors are, mana control, mana purity, INT, magician’s grade, and elemental affinity of that particular spell.

Jareth’s mana affinity is indeed high, but his fire affinity is low.

Thus, if he uses fire spells that are above the grade of fire affinity, the power of those spells will be reduced considerably.

But now that Jareth has extreme mana purity and mana singularity both, he can make up for that power loss by increasing the output.

Moreover, he has a high ‘INT’ stat, and even his own grade has been improved, thus the weakness of low fire affinity can be easily ignored at this point.

He can still forcefully make the fire elementals obey his command through mana singularity.

In other words, although Jareth’s grade has only increased to grade 3, taking raw power into consideration; Now, Jareth is not weaker than a genuine grade 1 mage in any way.

…

Just when Jareth was busy looking at his own improvements, the massive cyclone made of condensed mana slowly dissipated, and the sky cleared up slowly.

When the condensed mana flow disappeared, Reynald flew towards the mountaintop and landed right beside Jareth.

A pleasant smile appeared on his face after seeing that his guess was really true.

Jareth was indeed standing there, and he was the one who created this massive tornado.

*Clap!**Clap!*

“Amazing! Congratulations on breaking through to grade 1! You have become my equal now!”

Hearing such abrupt praise from Reynald, Jareth was taken aback for a second, but then he remembered how big of a scene he had created while improving his mana purity.

‘Ugh, this guy misunderstood that I have ascended to grade 1!… Wait, if even he was alerted, does that mean the whole capital saw that phenomenon happening!?’

Jareth didn’t know that Reynald had already sent a message back to the royal castle with his phone when he landed.

He has already told his butler to tell the media that Jareth has ascended to grade-1. He originally wanted the university to collapse after the disappearance of that old fix, and then take Jareth as his own subordinate.

But now that Jareth has become an equal to him, it’s obviously impossible to do such a thing. Jareth won’t accept subordination no matter what the deal is.

This, Reynald had no choice but to try befriending Jareth. If you can’t go against them, just make friends with them!

Reynald had followed this policy quite well for a long time.

At that moment, Reynald’s face turned serious, and he said to Jareth in a solemn tone.

“You have become a Grade 1 mage now… you must have realized the true nature of the world… I just want to say one thing, ‘Never ever tell anyone about all this…’. This information is too heavy for the world…”

Although all grade 1 mages are usually extremely selfish and indifferent people, even they have some bottom lines.

They are not demons who want the world to become a hell hole, thus they all have a tacit understanding between each other about the harmful secrets of this world.

So, even if they are extremely selfish, they do not tell anyone about this event if they die. And Reynald was advising Jareth to do the same. He had misunderstood that Jareth has become a grade 1 mage and has found the forbidden truth of the world.

Although Reynald doesn’t give a single sh*t about the lives of ordinary people, he doesn’t want his family and its influence to get affected.

Thus he warned Jareth to be sensible and not say anything that shouldn’t be said in public.

“Okay…I am sure you must also be in a panicked state after knowing the ‘truth’, so I should leave now. We can talk some other day when you have figured out everything calmly…”

Without waiting for Jareth’s reply, Reynald flew away just as fast as he had arrived.

He didn’t even give Jareth the chance to clear up the misunderstanding at all.

‘The real ‘truth’? What was this guy even blabbering about? I have literally no idea at all…’

In the end, Jareth could only sigh and fly towards the direction of a hotel.

The original Jareth had always lived in rented houses before getting a dormitory room in the university, which means he had no houses at all.

Moreover, now that the university is currently closed, he has nowhere else to stay, so he decided to spend the night at a hotel and think about all the complicated stuff tomorrow.

‘Today, I really hit gold… I really got a massive improvement… Perhaps I should save points and only use gold lotteries from now on…’
