Yeonhyuwon, located to the west of the palace, was used for training or rest.
Even within it, the place for training was called Yeonjeon (鍊殿).
There were people who worked hard on training, but today the atmosphere was a little different from usual.
“I mean, now, Cruz is not the person we used to know.”
Yesterday, one of the soldiers heading to the island forest was voicing.
“Is that enough?”
“I kept insisting on going back, but after hearing something whispered in my ear, he immediately obeyed the servant’s words.”
Knights and wizards were often talked behind by soldiers.
It’s a position to command soldiers right above.
In particular, the court mages were often ridiculed for pretending to be old-fashioned.
“Those unlucky court mages obeyed the words of the second prince?”
“Yeah, actually, before we left, I had heard of mages getting together. If lower Cruz does something strange, let’s boil it moderately.”
“Then you obeyed the words of the second prince, right?”
“Because it is. I’ve never seen court mages move with such discipline.”
“But don’t you think it’s too good?”

Likewise, a soldier who participated in the investigation team refuted.
“What are you talking about, we saw you yesterday too.”
“That’s how we see it, don’t you know what’s actually going on?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll give you a price, so I’ll ask you to make yourself stand out.”
Not all soldiers were optimistic about Cruz’s change.
There were more people who thought it was an illusion or that it would not last long.
“Hey, isn’t that a bit dangerous statement?”
“Did the superiors say that?”
“Most of those people are lower than the 1st prince. Doesn’t that look bad on you?”
“Things like that happen, too. Anyway, I think you can tell by seeing how you use the elixir you received.”
The elixir that Cruz received from the queen was of high quality.
It was too good for a 2-star wizard to use.
“If you take it, the superiors will be right.”
Although the elixir helps the user grow.
If the realm was low, there was a risk of skipping the enlightenment gained through training.
That’s why elixirs that were too good for the user’s level were treated as bright apricots.
I can’t handle it because it’s too effective, but I take the risk as it is.
“Ah, would you like to use that high-quality elixir yourself? If it were me, I would sell it and get something else.”
Meanwhile, a sudden commotion broke out.
The soldiers who were talking carefully to him stood up quietly and asked the other soldiers.
“what’s the matter?”
“Lord Cruz said he entered the closed training room. To use the elixir bestowed by His Majesty.”
“… … !”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were all amazed.
I hope what I was doing actually happened.
“Look, was my prediction correct? Because it hasn’t changed.”
Others couldn’t dispute the soldier’s statement that Cruz hadn’t changed.
They also thought that the 2nd prince was trying to use a high-quality elixir without knowing the subject.
It occurred to me that the indolent, stupid 2 prince’s disposition had not changed.
“… … .”
The soldier who defended Cruz at first seemed to have nothing to say, so he just kept his mouth shut.
* * *
“Oh no, everyone is looking at you too much.”
While heading to the closed training room to use the elixir, I received a lot of attention.
It was a sudden change and the achievement was made, but he said that he would use the elixir he received from the queen right away.
[Why didn’t you ask for anything other than food?]
It was Skadi who started talking.
Of course, it wasn’t next to me, it was in a state of spiritual body.
“huh? what?”
[Sweet things, sweet things. When you signed the contract, didn’t you make sure to eat once a day?]
“ah… … ok then Of course you will eat it. But today I have to focus on taking the elixir, so I’ll take it tomorrow.”
Right after my work in the forest was over, I offered Skadi a contract.
I asked with tongue-in-cheek words, but he accepted the contract surprisingly easily.
‘There was a condition attached that he would do as much as possible for what he asked for, but he could only do that much.’
The spirit that made the contract could become a spirit and stay near the contract.
You can have a conversation through images.
Spiritualization was often convenient in many ways because it was invisible to anyone other than the contractor.
[Hmm, find out some good desserts now. I wonder what desserts in the eastern continent are like.]
… … Spiritualized spirits could arbitrarily share their senses with the contractor.
It was also possible to share the taste of the food we were eating, but Skadi demanded the bittersweet.
It was a bit of a chore for me, who doesn’t like sweets very much.
“Anyway, how should I interpret this?”
My request for the elixir was safely accepted.
The elixir was given on the spot, and everyone including me was surprised.
It was because the value of the elixir given by the queen was too high.
“Among the white circles, it is the best product? It will be grade A.”
In general, the magician’s elixir was called the black pill, and the magician’s elixir was called the white pill.
The grades were divided according to the thickness and transparency of the color, and the whiter the color of the white ring, the more effective the blacker the color of the black ring.
The white ring I received was opaque, so the inside didn’t show through, but it was very white with no stains.
[What are you so worried about? I gave you something good, so can’t I just use it?]
“I didn’t pick it up anywhere, so how is that?”
[What do you mean by that again?]
“Considering what I did this time, this white ring is too much.”
Common soldiers, knights, wizards, and hones.
Even thinking about the bounties they received, the elixir I received was too expensive.
The price was too much, so I couldn’t help but care.
“Do you remember what the Queen said yesterday? The other kids just gave them money, but they told me to tell them what they wanted.”
[It was.]
“It’s not just a word. I’m sure the queen did it to figure out how I’ve changed.”
That’s why I asked for the elixir in a vague way.
I could have clearly told him to ask for a certain level of elixir, but I didn’t bother.
By doing so, it was to measure the value of the price the queen was trying to give me.
“But even taking that into account, this is too expensive.”
If I convert the hundred hwan I received into money, it was really expensive.
Among the elixirs available in the general market, it was the most valuable.
“Besides, I gave you something too good for the state.”
Elixir did not work well for all mages.
If a low level wizard drank an overly good elixir, it wouldn’t work properly.

Lifting moderate weights rather than excessively heavy weights was similar to what is good for strength training.
“If you think about growth, it’s better to give a lower quality elixir than this.”
[You’re thinking too complicated, Nicola.]
“Call me Cruz. What are you going to do if someone hears it?”
[Who can hear my voice in spirit form?]
“You don’t know. You have to make it a habit from now on.”
[…] … .]
There was a silence of disapproval, but I pretended not to know.
“It will be a test. Should I just use it or sell it and use it for something else?”
In order to safely use this elixir at a level of only 2 stars, you would have to be one of the best talents on the continent.
“Are you still thinking about taking it anyway? Aren’t you confident?]
“No way, but you have to act carefully.”
The reason I asked for the elixir was because it was what I needed the most right now.
Because it is an item that quickly raises the level of the user.
It was an item that was not recommended at a low level because it omitted enlightenment, but it was irrelevant to me.
“Then, I’ll concentrate, so please don’t talk to me until it’s over.”
[Sure.]
After sitting down in a position that made it easier to concentrate, he swallowed the white pill.
Then, the magic power inside the body was circulated.
It was to quickly adapt to the senses that would soon be forcibly opened.
“… … !”
As the ingredients of the medicine spread throughout the body, the senses of the whole body stood up.
Before long, sensations that normally humans cannot feel covered his entire body.
The feeling of mana dissolved in the air being absorbed into the body.
‘It’s more than expected.’
Mana is an energy source that creates magic, but it becomes poison if you overdo it.
That’s why, usually, when accompanied by an uncontrollable sensation, they reduce or stop accepting mana.
But I had no intention of quitting.
Kulleong.
The permeated mana filled his body and overflowed.
Accepting mana, using mana, and applying a load to the core is the basis of training.
In order to use the accepted mana meaningfully, he had to manage it.
‘Make a little more magic… … .’
This has never been easy.
It was because the amount of magical power currently created was so great that a 2-star core could not sustain it.
So, if you are a normal wizard, you should stop generating magic and accepting mana right now.
‘This is enough.’
If you are a wizard with the best talent on the continent, it won’t be difficult to use the elixir ‘safely’.
It’s because you only need to accept magic at a non-dangerous level and use it.
‘But I can’t do that.’
Once you take any elixir, you cannot take it for a while.
That’s why I was thinking of extracting the maximum achievement I could get from this opportunity.
In order to do so, it was necessary to train dangerously at the level of walking on a tightrope, but I was willing to take it.
‘Because there’s no time to mess around.’
coo coo coo-
Started mana operation.
The magic power that passed through the circuits that spread throughout the body was like a tsunami.
It was normally an effortless act, but not now.
Even though it was just a normal flow of mana, I felt a strong pressure and burden.
‘Control.’
It’s not about pushing the generated mana into the circuit.
He subdivided the mass of mana into several branches and maintained a sense of control.
Only then could damage to the circuit be prevented.
It was an impossible skill with moderate control ability, but it was not difficult.
‘The problem is next.’
It was a problem from now on.
I had to send magic power to the core in my heart, but this was really dangerous.
It was like putting a boulder on top of an egg.
‘Slowly, balance, let go.’
I carefully let go of the limit of my core’s endurance.
The task of delicately distributing magic close to the limit in equal amounts required a high degree of concentration.
Tuduk.
Sweat dripped from my forehead and trickled down my nose, but I didn’t dare to wipe it off.
If my mind wanders even a little here, things will happen that even I can’t handle.
Ugh-
One cycle is over.
It accepts a huge amount of mana and converts all of it into magical power.
The converted mana is wrapped around the whole body and made to spin.
At the end, it is a repetition of the work that leads to the core and circulates it.
It was a situation where, as a wizard, he would be fatally wounded if he was slightly twisted.
I was able to be sure with the current process.
‘Is it possible.’
Repetition of work like walking on thin ice quickly raised the level of the body.
2 stars from lower to intermediate.
from intermediate to advanced.
Every time that happened, the magical energy that wrapped around the core left a mark like a scar.
Its shape gradually took on the form of a star.
A third mark that resembles the two previous stigmata.
Tsutsutsutsu.
I felt my senses gradually dull.
The efficacy of the elixir she consumed had decreased.
“… … Whoa.”
The breath he exhaled after 14 hours of training was extremely refreshing.
The training wasn’t over yet, but the time to be extremely focused had passed, so it was something I could show off.
“What’s left is tidying up.”
Seong, which means state, has the meaning of achieving (成), but also has the meaning of star (星).
The reason for this is that the traces engraved while operating magic resemble the shape of a star.
“How did you end it?”
That’s how I succeeded in embracing the third star just two days after reaching the second star.
Although it was said that he used an elixir, it was an unprecedented growth rate.
“Now I can move on to the next method.”
