Infinite Mage

Prior to Siena arriving at the Engine room.

The sky glowed red, but Shirone and Mark showed no intention of stopping.

Under Alpheas instruction, the other instructors cast the Illumination magic which was meant to stop the exam.

From the front, the trapps overlapped like a net, so there seemed to be no room to escape through it.

Do I have to give up?

It’s a huge trap.

As the iron bar bent, circular rings of various sizes started heading towards them.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

How foolish! acquire Are they planning on going through with this to the end?”

Some instructors started shouting when the shapes of the two were obscured by the obstacles.

BOOOOM!

Shirone and Mark glanced at each other. attic And right as their gazes collided, they teleported.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

They just dont want to give up first because the one who does will definitely be shamed later.

Siena spoke.

This is a problem. amateur What the hell is Mr. adapt Thadd doing?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But he also knew that at times, doing such a thing was not an option.

…There are times when you can never back down.

Another reason for this chaotic atmosphere was that Alpheas was silent. absorb To be honest, anger was boiling inside Alpheas. crystal Especially towards Shirone.

Sometimes you have to know when to back down. avalanche Dont you know that much?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Whatever you choose to do, as long as you take responsibility for your decision, what others think becomes meaningless.

There was no right answer in life.

Let them proceed. alien Neither of them seem satisfied with my decision.

The instructors were surprised.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter what happens

Alpheas’ eyes turned icy.

What? admire But if an accident were to occur, this could turn into a huge problem.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The instructors were bewildered and could not reply back to their Headmasters cold attitude that did not usually surface.

His gaze went back to the competition.

The only one who could perhaps somewhat understand Alpheas intention was Thadd, who was currently absent.

I’ll take responsibility.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Every moment must feel like your last. altitude I will respect that. atlas But if you cant take responsibility for the results

Alright, I understand your will.

He had heard all about Shirones past, his origins, and the things he had to go through to enter the academy.

Alpheus was resolved.

This will be the end of your path to becoming a mage.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The traps were so fast that he had no time to dodge one and have the luxury to think about the next.

Keuk!

Shirone felt dizzy.

I have to look at the whole thing all at once.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There’s no end to it.

To compare it to a maze, it was like running after memorizing the whole map.

At this rate, my mental strength will be exhausted first. riddle I have to try and move forward somehow.

Due to being too focused on avoiding the obstacles, Shirone advanced less than two meters.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

There is a possibility that both of us will fail. arch The one who gets the furthest will probably be the winner.

Here I go!

Like a lion in a circus jumping through a hoop of fire, Mark broke through the obstacle.

Mark was thinking the same thing.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mark was delighted.

The change of direction of teleportation is by no means easy. orbit I see Mark has prepared well.

The instructors admired Marks bravery and decisiveness as he sharply swerved and penetrated through the obstacle.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Mark turned his head to look back, he saw that Shirone was in the same place he was previously.

It worked! timber I can do it!

Kekeke, hes terrified.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

No.

Mark was no longer worried about Shirone as he felt he had taken a far enough lead.

Shirone shook his head.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The path Mark chose is blocked.

If it was simply avoiding a couple of obstacles and advancing forward, that was something Shirone could do as well. echo However, after analyzing the combination of all obstacles approaching from afar, Shirone realized that there was only one way out.

As expected, Mark felt the difficulty of the traps increase as time went by.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The iron bar that waved around like a whip came at him in the shape of an X.

HEEUUK!

Mark looked like he was about to break down.

Keuk!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The endless number of iron bars that were seemingly dancing in the air suddenly tangled up and transformed into a net.

The observing students paled.

Ever since the beginning, Mark was mistaken to think he had chosen an easy path. anchor He tried to leave the current route belatedly, but the net was already right in front of his eyes.

I can’t avoid that.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone!

Hes going to collide!

As soon as the obstacle passed with a roaring sound, the eyes of those watching tightly closed. acoustic On the other hand, students who could not move a muscle had their eyes opened wide.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

How can you say that? airport Isn’t it natural to try and save people who are about to die?

Did he jump in to save Mark? acid One can only be so nice. meadow He still annoys me.

Shirone had snatched Mark away on time and escaped the net using teleportation.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hey, you jerk! meadow Why are you imposing that on me?

Yiruki had a knowing smile while the other students were busy arguing with each other.

It’s not that, idiots.

Natural? advance Would you be able to do that?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Meanwhile, Shirone was lost.

AAK! harbor S-Save me!

Mark, who had already lost his beast-like will, floundered about with tears in his eyes

Although he did good in saving Mark, he was knee-deep in trouble.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even though he was shouting, Shirone’s eyes did not leave the coming obstacles and continued to analyze.

Theres none.

Just keep still!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

At that moment, his frame of common sense shattered.

No, theres no way. autumn They wouldnt make a trap that has no way out.

I was being stupid

He had rescued Mark from trap hell, but he himself couldn’t find a way out.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ignoring Marks screams, Shirone rushed backwards with teleportation.

Wasnt there another escape route? arch Go back out the way he came in.

Yiruki jumped to his feet in the audience.

Ahhhh! harbor We are all gonna dieeeee!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The key was to not obsess over moving forward. action Shirone didnt have to only go straight in order to avoid the obstacles.

Backing up was also a strategy.

Here I go!

That’s right!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, who was moving rapidly, jumped over a huge obstacle that was approaching.

The immediate threat had passed, but level 10 was not level 10 for nothing.

As soon as Shirone jumped up, the iron bar tracked him down after transforming into a large parabola.

Yes, it worked!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The trap became harder to analyze than before due to a slope being created because of its parabola shape. artist Though, the presence of Mark was also a big burden on Shirone.

So its impossible to escape this cycle even if I move up?

As long as the participant did not fall to the ground, the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed would continue to harass the participant until they either failed or got to the end.

Keuk!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Amys replied.

Sharelle grumbled frustratedly.

“Why is he doing such a reckless thing? acid If Mark is eliminated, he will be promoted. alien And not to mention, it’s really dangerous to teleport with someone else. album You only do that in case of an emergency.

Thats just who he is. august He actually does the things other people only dream or talk about doing.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I know that Shirone is kind, but Mark even hired people to bother him.

She thought it a little strange that she understood Shirones intention.

Perhaps that is why hes more

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone is not competing with anyone. atlas His only goal is to become a mage. echo A person who is deadset on a goal does not really care about the process or what other people think. arena It doesnt matter whether theyre first or last. canvas All the things they do are in service of reaching said goal

* * *

He wasn’t interested in the ranking from the beginning.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

While Sharelle was lost in thought, Amy watched the struggling Shirone.

She knew Shirone had no luck this time.

And in his case, its to become great at magic.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was so focused on the traps that he couldn’t even hear Mark’s annoying screams.

No one in the Intermediate class can cross level 10. album It’s right to stop the exam here.

All she could do was hope that Shirone would come back alive.

AAAHH! meadow AAAAAKK!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Its unpredictable.

This was of course natural, however, the difficulty was so high that it now seemed like the iron bar was a huge worm-like parasite, instead of an object.

It’s getting more and more difficult.

Mark’s scream disappeared around the time Shirone advanced 100 meters through the wriggling parasite.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Focusing on one thing while thinking of the whole was similar to the Deviate Form of the Four Way Formation.

Alpheas narrowed his eyes.

The instructors who were arguing and the students who were making a fuss a minute ago had all gone silent.

Mark fainted with foam coming out from his mouth, but Shirone continued on with no care. legend He had already forgotten about him.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yet, Shirone continued to pass between the black iron bars.

Crisis raises ones ability However, everyone has limits

It was safe to say that any average student would have long lost consciousness.

How was he still holding out? atom The traps present in the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed were moving at a speed of 200 km/h.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Does that boy have no limits?

The same went for magic.

The reason why some couldnt soar indefinitely even when they once rode through an upward trend was because they would eventually feel satisfied with themselves.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

But I don’t even see a hint of that in you. echo Shirone, are you dreaming of infinity with that human body of yours?

Satisfaction was the enemy of progress. airport But at the same time, it was human nature and something everyone eventually felt. academy The feeling of satisfaction was not something humans could do without.

Why couldnt all mages be the best? shadow Was it just a matter of skill or talent?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, who mustve been in a trance, would not remember this moment.

Since satisfaction did not exist in him, his mind was able to handle the ever-increasing difficulty.

However, Ethella, the youngest bishop of the Karsis Order, would never forget the dance No, the valor she observed today.

It seemed like he never had a vessel that held him back to begin with.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even a high priest can only maintain that kind of mentality while in a transcendent state for a short while.

What kind of mental state did one have to have to be able to do that?

Even in a trance, hes constantly calculating and finding a way out. attic An exit that he has a one over-infinity chance of finding.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if he can feel and calculate everything, techniques and skills are a whole other matter. arch The next trap is really hard.

However

Ethellas face turned serious.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was literally a trap of chaos where no such thing as rules applied. attic The only rule was that things would continue to become more difficult.

The distance between the obstacles was extremely narrow. arctic They left Shirone with only a 1-meter gap.

Shirone had anticipated it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

I have to break it down smaller.

Left and right pattern.

He had to reduce his 10-meter teleportation distance to 1 meter.

Doing so would place Shirone at a level that absolutely surpassed Class 7s, but no such distracting thoughts bothered him.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone analyzed dozens of ring-shaped traps arranged in pairs at the same time.

A flash of light zigzagged through the rings.

Left, right, left, right The moment his thoughts finalized, he teleported left and right without even taking the time to look at each trap.

I made it

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

In a situation where the angle was not straight, his body took another leap forward.

However, the moment Shirone finally started to regain his bearings, the rings with up-and-down patterns rushed towards him.

KEUK!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirones body shone once again, and as it did a flash of light that bent appeared.

The students eyes opened like saucers.

If I break it down to the extreme

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rainbow Drop! athlete He actually did it!

The light bent?

Yiruki got up and opened his different-colored eyes wide.

Most of the students did not understand the flash that followed the trajectory of a wave, but that was probably because Rainbow Drop was a top-level skill that teleportation specialists learned.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Its a simple principle. alert Differentiating a circle yields an infinite straight line. riddle Break down the interval of teleportation enough times and you can make it look like light bent.

Is that really possible? alpha How does teleportation bend? anchor Lights only travel in a straight line!

Yiruki tapped his head twice and said,

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

For someone whos only in Class 5? accent Genius my ass.

How do you even calculate how many times you need to break it down?

The students turned their heads back to the examination hall.

It’s not a calculation, it’s a sense. canvas Even then, it’s hard to do, but lets just say he has more omnipotence than omniscience. accent Though, I can confidently say that he is a genius with a tendency opposite to mine.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

30 meters left to the end.

The students began shouting words of support towards Shirone.

When the speed of the Bridge That Could Not Be Crossed reached its maximum, even the shape of the structures could not be easily distinguished. athlete Though Shirone’s eyes had adapted to it, so he could still tell.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The faces of the instructors paled.

Headmaster! auction Over there!

For the first time in the history of the magic academy, they were expecting a student from the Intermediate class to cross a level 10 Bridge That Could Not Be Crossed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

As if jealous of Shirones near success, the iron bar started twisting randomly, creating a three-dimensional structure.

Thadd! echo You fucking!

Damn it! acoustic Its the Dragons Labyrinth! arcade What the hell is Mr. afford Thadd doing?

While the instructors were busy shouting, Siena had a deep frown and hurriedly cast Spacial Warp.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The Dragons Labyrinth, which only appeared at level 10, was a trap with a gigantic dragons head.

Shirone bit his lips and analyzed the pattern.

Once you were swallowed, it was the end, so you had to link your magic while also remembering how the structure was created step-by-step.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 37: The Uncrossable Bridge (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Mark regained consciousness and screamed his head off, Shirones Spirit Zone shook violently.

AAAAHHHHH! legend What the fuck?! legend What the hell is that?!

Even at that moment, the Dragons Labyrinth approached at its fastest speed with its jaws wide open.

Keuk!
