Taking the Mafia to the Magic World - Chapter 962

Chapter 962 Training Mission

After beginning his journey to assist Outer Elder Collins and learn the rituals, Vicente spent two days helping the elder and focusing much of his time on learning how to perform rituals.

Outer Elder Collins wanted to pass on his experience to a disciple and constantly launched missions in search of talents to bring over to his side.

It wasn't his job to teach just any disciple how to perform rituals. He did this as a way of attracting newcomers to his art and thus seeking new apprentices.

Not every Stonewall elder could expect new disciples to come to them looking for them. Some elders had to roll up their sleeves and use whatever they had at their disposal to attract interested parties.

In a world as vast and new to individuals as Vicente, it would be difficult for Outer Elder Collins to attract his attention if he didn't use a mission that paid stone coins.

Vicente understood this over those two days and didn't mind being probed by Collins. After all, he was also benefiting, both from the potential financial gain of completing the mission requirements and the chance to learn something powerful.

There were many other rituals besides the first one he attended. Healing Rituals, Protection Rituals, Divination Rituals, Empowerment Rituals and many others, each with their own attributes and potential.

Someone capable of mastering 10 types of ritual could be considered a Real Sorcerer, a special professional capable of having several other professions concurrently.

As Vicente had already realized, they could use rituals with other types of powers and knowledge. Healers, Blacksmiths and many others could use rituals to their advantage.

With this in mind, Vicente put aside what he could gain in resources from this work with Collins and, in less than two days, was focused on learning as many rituals as possible.

The idea of the existence of Hell had stirred him and now, somehow, he thought that rituals somehow connected this world to dimensions other than the usual ones.

Perhaps those responsible for the most significant separation of Polaris Realm and Anicane were high-level Real Sorcerers. In that case, he needed to follow that path, even if he hadn't had his attention captivated by Collins!

...

"Very well, you're a fast learner. At this rate, you should be able to perform your first ritual in no more than a month." Collins said as he looked at Vicente's ritual plans.

Before performing a ritual, it was crucial that one planned their steps, had a strategy for how to combine the materials involved, the type of opponent, and the ritual's ultimate goal. Experienced Real Sorcerers did all this without having to write plans, but novices had to outline their strategies first.

Vicente nodded to the elder, finishing creating his first plan on how to deal with a Banishing Ritual.

The elder stopped at the door of the house, his hands behind his back, as he waved to the boy. "Good luck with your training."

Vicente left soon after, while Collins watched where he had gone.

'A good boy. He'll be powerful in the future, as long as he's well guided. But he'll need a bit of luck. This world isn't as simple as it seems.'

Collins muttered on his way home. "Let's see if you can master the rituals I've taught you. If you can, it'll be time for me to make my move!"

...

After leaving Collins' residence, Vicente ate something and waited for his constant absorption of mana to fill up his cultivation again.

About an hour after finishing his guided study of rituals, he went ahead to start the {Training Mission}.

Just like the {Ritual Mission}, the {Training Mission} depended on him completing a specific requirement. It wasn't enough for him to go once and already receive his stone coins. He had to carry out a minimum number of tasks and fulfill the mission's fundamental requirement.

This could take several encounters between him and those he had to interact with to complete the mission requirements.

His wallet was emptying, so he wanted to complete missions as soon as possible, even if he was soon to receive his first wage as an active member of the sect.

As he entered the estate where he was supposed to meet Theo Steel, he saw some Outer Elders coming and going from the area, passing several guards positioned around the large flowered area at the peak of an 18-storey building.

To get there, Vicente had used a special elevator, an item that didn't exist in Polaris Realm and which was even more modern than the elevators on Earth.

But while the surroundings, modern and beautifully decorated with plants he had never seen before, caught his eye, a bald man with pointed ears appeared in front of him.

"Disciple Vicente Fuller, please follow me to young master Theo." Said the man dressed as a monk.

Vicente followed the man, soon arriving at a small wooden platform inside a windowless room with only a single entrance.

The man, with red and white hair and wolf's ears and nose, was sitting in the lotus position in the center of the platform when Vicente's presence was announced.

"So you're finally here... I thought I would have to be forced to come to you for you to fulfill your responsibility, Vicente Fuller."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
