Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After Abel had eaten his lavish dinner, he completely relaxed his body and sat cross-legged on his bed . According to the “beginner Wizard meditation guide,” one could choose any position they believed was the most comfortable position for them to do meditation . Abel, a boy who was deeply influenced by his previous world, still stubbornly believe cross leg was the best way to go about meditation .

Abel turned his power of the will into a thing that he was most familiar with, a rune pen . The tip of the pen began to absorb mana . Mana filled the magic tower, and soon, the tip of the pen had fully absorbed the ink made by that mana . Afterward, he began to draw, but before he could even complete his first stroke, he abruptly came to a halt . He had used too much force, and the stroke was a tiny bit bigger than the original one on the “beginner wizard meditation guide . ”

Since his power of the will was immensely powerful, it allowed him to sense a small difference like this . Ok, let’s start again, he thought as he retrieved the stroke he made with the power of the will rune pen, and his mind was blank once more .

This time, Abel was more careful . He had underestimated the difficulty of the “beginner Wizard meditation . ” He thought of the students gathering outside the magic tower . They all possessed the power of the will . Although the strength of their power of the will was still a mystery, Abel had seen it–that there were a few older men with a head full of grey hair in the group . This just further confirmed the difficulty of the “beginner Wizard meditation . ”

Abel had spent the night trying to draw the pattern . He made mistakes on the first stroke, 10th stroke, and 20th stroke . He was still miles from completing it, but he already felt like his head was going to explode if he continued .

Abel felt like he had reached his limit . According to the “beginner wizard meditation guide,” if he had used an excessive amount of the power of the will from his body, it would damage his soul . Therefore, Abel decided to have a rest .

He laid on his bed . Despite his power of the will being completely fatigued, he was still very excited about practicing the “beginner wizard meditation . ” He found it hard to fall asleep, and it was in this half-awake state, he felt the rune pen in his mind again . The rune pen spun it’s tip around . It seemed like it could absorb more mana this way . Afterward, the rune pen began to draw In his mind . The first stroke was perfect .

At this moment, Abel felt like he was watching this rune pen moved all over in his mind from a third-person perspective . The rune pen continued to absorb mana . Soon, the rune pen had drawn a perfect magical pattern in Abel’s mind .

The next morning, Abel felt like he had dreamt that he had effortlessly drawn the second pattern of the “beginner wizard meditation guide” in his mind entirely . Up to this point, Abel began to laugh at himself, was this considered as daydreaming?

Suddenly… his whole body froze . He realized there was actually a rank one novice wizard pattern being drawn entirely in his mind . He fixed on the pattern . It was not a dream, it was real . He had drawn a magic pattern in his dream .

Abel could not believe it . He was reminded of the time where he had first forged a base of 100 skills and the time where he had first drawn a rune . Suddenly, it became clear to him . He must have had another flash of realization .

Flash of realization was a state you could only hope for . You could never plan for it . It had the power to enlighten the person with the perfect wisdom, unleashing an instinctive response for things that a person couldn’t comprehend .

Abel took out the “beginner Wizard meditation guide” with a heart full of worry and then compared it to the pattern in his mind . He closely examined each change, thickness, and force of each stroke .

Stroke by stroke, Abel continued to examine the pattern silently, his finger followed the pattern on the “beginner wizard meditation guide” until the pattern had finished . It was exactly the same

Abel let out a breath of relief . There was no problem, and he had officially become a rank one novice wizard . The next step was to fill this pattern with mana . This step took a long time because it was through this stage that the wizard could effectively lead the mana alongside the path of the pattern with their power of the will . This allowed the pattern to absorb the mana more evenly . When the pattern had become a physical object in the mind, this step was complete .

When Abel was just about to proceed with this step of filling up the pattern, suddenly, Wizard Sam’s voice began to come through his identity card . “Abel, what happened to you, why didn’t you sweep the floor today?”

From his voice, Abel could tell that Wizard Sam was not blaming him; instead, he was filled to the brim with a sense of concern .

“Mr . Sam, I’ll go now . ” Abel did not give any explanation and went straight towards Novice Wizard Sam’s room .

“My child!” The voice of Wizard Sam came through Abel’s identity card again . But by that point, Abel had already left his room and did not hear this voice of cherish .

Knock, knock…* “come in,” said Novice Wizard Sam .

Abel opened the door to his room and quickly entered . The first thing he did was said to Novice Wizard Sam in embarrassment, “Mr . Sam; I’m so sorry that I slept late yesterday . I’ll begin now . ”

“Wait!” Novice Wizard Sam looked at Abel with a sense of shock . He swallowed his saliva and said with a gentle voice, “you practiced the ‘beginner wizard meditation” yesterday?”

Abel had just finished drawing a rank one novice wizard pattern; there was still a faint magical wave remained on his body . Mr . Sam had a deep understanding of meditation, so of course, he could see that Abel was different .

“Yes, Mr . Sam,” Abel paused for a bit before continuing, “beginner wizard meditation” was way too hard . I spent an entire night until I could remember the pattern on the second page, and I’ve only drawn it out in my mind this morning .

“Can you fill it with mana?” Novice Wizard Sam desperately asked .

Sam was fully aware that successfully drawing a pattern didn’t mean the person was a rank one novice wizard . They need to do it perfectly . Many students of wizardry could draw a pattern, but as long as there was a single mistake, they would not be able to fill it up with mana . Therefore, they need to scrap that pattern and start all over again .

Mr . Sam already knew that Abel must be extremely gifted . No matter if his pattern was successful was not, it still only took him one night to draw it . That fact alone had already confirmed that Abel was not just an ordinary gifted child .

The Novice Wizard Sam was filled with joy in his heart . A wizard was not a lone wolf, and they possessed longevity that was hard to comprehend by ordinary people . It was often tough for wizards to be friends with normal people . That was why in every wizard’s heart, they cherished a wizard friend that they could trust and held it as high regard .

Abel had the talent to become a rank six official wizard, and Sam was confident that he could become one as well . It was the reason Sam wanted to build a strong relationship with Abel .

“Mr . Sam, I’ll give it a try after I finish my work . ” Abel was a little confused about why Novice Wizard Sam was in such a hurry, as he was getting ready to get his cleaning equipment .

Novice Wizard Sam stuck out his hand and blocked Abel and said, “Don’t worry about that, let’s try it now . I want to see if you are Abel to fill the pattern up with mana . ”

“Ok, Mr . Sam ”

Abel sat on the floor and began to absorb the mana in the air with his power of the will . There were more than enough mana in the magic tower, and it slowly began to gather on his power of the will . He then began to direct this mana in alongside each stroke of the pattern . His power of the will moved slowly along, more and more mana was absorbed from the air and released on to the pattern .

Although the pattern didn’t look too big, it was filled with countless strokes tightly curved together, making the actual path of the pattern extremely long . It took Abel more than 2 hours until he had filled up all the strokes of the pattern with mana using his power of the will . When he had completed the last stroke, a ray of shining blue light quickly traveled backward from the endpoint of the pattern towards the starting point .

Novice Wizard Sam no longer needed Abel to explain . Just by looking at his body shining in blue light, he knew Abel had succeeded . At this moment, Novice Wizard Sam was witnessing the birth of a genius with his own eyes–A genius that he, himself, brought in to the world of wizardry .
