Guy had his attention trained onto Markus and Al. Although Guy had heard of methods to peer into a mage's cultivation, he had yet to see a method that didn't require the target to die first. The books he had read before primarily detailed optimal strategies to siphon the cultivation from a dying mage's dissipating core. Efficient ways to decipher the numerous insights condensed within the roiling ethereal mass, and so on. So, when Guy observed Al's attempt to perform an inspection into Markus'…-

Al was stumped. Utterly. Stumped. . . . Because he did not know what he was looking at... Basically, before a mage reaches Core Formation, their so-called nascent core has yet to take a solid shape definitive of their cultivation. At this stage, what one observes when extending their senses into the core is something akin to a pool of water. This pool of water, and the area surrounding it, can be used to gauge into a mages cultivation, only at a superficial level though. Through his years, Al had…

"I've called Markus over, he should be here soon. The fact that he was able to achieve perfected resonance without having a cultivation method is unheard of in the mage community," Al explained. "I mean, it's a fact that most mages are aware of, but there is actually a reason behind it as well. How is it that mages are able to manifest such extraordinary powers? How are they able to bend, what you call, the truth of this world in such unbelievable ways?" Al paused for dramatic effect. Al pointed towards…

Marie paced back and forth in a huff in front of a shamefaced Markus and a silent Grace. "Explain yourself!" Marie demanded. "I didn't want to continue studying in the Academy," Markus answered in a low voice. "Why?" "It was a horrible place, Marie!" Markus retorted with surging emotion, causing Marie to flinch. As he spoke, the mana around him started to fluctuate vigorously as if it were responding to him. This was a natural occurrence with blooming mages peaking into true magehood. "They say it is…

The leg of the journey from Wayward Town to Twilight Village was unbearably uncomfortable due to the charged atmosphere. Having learnt of Markus' "asinine" actions, Marie turned eerily silent. However, rather than tranquillity, her current composure resembled that of a malefic bomb at the cusp of exploding. Marie assumed her seat at the carriage leading the caravan, which also happened to be occupied by Uncle Jeeves and Jean's Father. Jean had tried to reason with Marie and asked her to accompany her in…

"Is that my Markus? Woah! He looks so handsome now! Was he always this handsome? No, it's the confidence! And strength!" Marie exclaimed animatedly as she drilled her gaze into the visual from the recording artefact. After acquainting herself with Marie, Jean decided that it would be a good idea to bring her along as they travelled to Marie's village. As the daughter of the head of a prolific clan, Jean had learned quite early in her life the benefit of forming bonds and building relations. However,…

A/N: I cannot turn off Privilege as it is now a default feature that activates when locking chapters. I can only suggest that you not waste money purchasing it. I don't write a lot in general, and it isn't worth the coins (for this series anyway). ____ Goran and Al set out for Guy's village with Jean a few days later. While Goran, Al and Josie could fly using magic, Jean could not, thus they decided to make the journey the 'mortal way'. However, in order to not attract unwanted attention from wary clan…

"This is amazing!" Goran exclaimed in elation. "Where is Guy?" He said while jumping up from his seat. "He's in a village a few days away from the city," Al answered. "That's great! I'll invite him over!" Goran declared as he began to walk out. But he was quickly stopped by Al. "No, don't!" "Huh? Why?" Al wore a serious expression and suggested, "I think it would be better if we went to him." Goran frowned, "And why is that?" '*sigh* I hope he isn't one of those arrogant and conceited teachers who…

In the following hour, Al gushed unceasingly about the personage known as Guy Larks. He was so enthusiastic in describing Guy, that even Goran was drawn in. 'I've never seen Al talk so eagerly about anyone!' Goran commented internally. In fact, ever since he'd met Al, Goran had never seen Al praise anyone! So in seeing him shower such gracious praises to this as of yet unknown character, Goran already had a high opinion on Guy. "And you heard about the Dwarven Metal alternative, called steel, that The…

"What brings you here today, old friend?" A heavy-set man with well-defined musculature approached Al while spreading his arms out for a friendly hug. He had a rugged face with a squared jaw and an aggressive gaze that could cause a child hiding behind a metre-thick wall to burst into tears, metaphorically. Al reciprocated with a smile, while once again contemplating how such a brutish looking fellow could find employment as a healer. Funnily, Al fit snugly within the man's massive embrace. He didn't mind…
