Infinite Mage

Infinity.

However, the place Shirone wanted to reach was a point that was impossible to attain using the Sequence method.

A concept that went beyond units.

Shirones calculations got faster.

Even further

The limit of modularization, which bundled hundreds and thousands, gradually disappeared

It was as if all the numbers that existed in the world combined into a single point.

Bam! absorb Bam! galaxy Bam! alert Bam!

Two flashes of lights appeared at the same time.

Senior Shirone is also doubling! timber B-But isnt it already too late? agent They only have

A shudder ran down Shirones back at the feeling of liberation.

The number of flashes continued to double, and eventually they started colliding with each other.

No, its not double.

Sharelle couldnt believe the scene in front of her.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Ah

All the senses that made Shirone himself permeated into creation, even his ego seemed to disappear.

The flashes all around combined into one, and in the end, a huge curtain covered the area.

The feeling was out of this world.

The Speed Gun level began to continuously rise.

Shirone could not stop the tears from dripping down his face.

The targets didnt even have a chance to make an appearance before exploding.

Ahhh AHHHHH!

His own name. riddle His existence. antenna Everything that constituted him was fading away from the world.

It was being forgotten.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Eeeeuukk!

As for Yiruki, he focused harder on himself.

He checked Shirones score and noticed that it was catching up to his quickly, but he didnt seem to care.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

A savants calculation has no limits! shadow Watch me calculate everything! amateur Ill see to it that I reach the end of the numbers that exist in the world!

No matter how much Shirone sped up, he felt that he just had to run a bit faster to maintain the higher score.

Yirukis double Spirit Zone flew around so fast that not even an afterimage was in sight.

Ill win! matrix I can win! arena I have 1 second left! 0.9 second! 0.85 second! antenna What kind of timer goes this FUCKING SLOW!!!!!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

As soon as the target holograms disappeared, Shirone and Yiruki fell on their asses at the same time.

The one minute that felt like an eternity was finally over.

BEEP!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Hooo

Haah Haah.

Compared to Yiruki, who was gasping for air, Shirone had his head lowered. album He was not moving an inch.

He had already lost consciousness.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

1,247 points.

Yiruki checked his score.

Yiruki set an unprecedented record. album He somehow managed to beat Amys highest record by 260 points.

Not bad. arcade Did I win? acid Why dont I hear anything? galaxy Whats Shirone doing?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was still breathing, and he didnt seem dead, but at the same time, he didnt seem alive either. audit It was a strange feeling.

Yiruki turned his head and saw that Shirones head was tilted to the point it was nearly touching his chest. airport He wasnt moving.

Yiruki checked out Shirones score.

What?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

S-Senior Shirone Senior Shirone

Mark couldnt believe it and swung his head back and forth between Shirones and Yirukis scoreboard. atom Then he opened his mouth.

1,253 points.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

And as if he had just been resuscitated, Shirone gasped for air.

Shirone won!

Sharelle, who was hugging Mark while leaping around, ran to Shirone. armor And with her were the lowerclassmen, who were fighting to reach him first.

HEUK!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

He looked around to see Sharelle and a bunch of other students crowding around him.

Ughh

His mind, which had scattered after delving into the Infinite Realm, started combining back together along with the threads of his consciousness.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yes. antique Im alright.

Shirone, are you okay? armor Its me, Sharelle.

His memories had returned. arctic And Shirone, who had finally regained his ego, gave a soft smile.

The moment he himself solidified that he was okay, the lowerclassmen and his classmates cheered, whistled, and applauded.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was Nade.

Yiruki was deep in thought with an indifferent look when someone approached and placed their hand on his shoulder.

While everyone was praising Shirone, nobody was around Yiruki.

You were sooo amazing! adapt Really, youre the best Shirone!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Not really, you dont compete to look good. arch You do it to win.

Hes an incredible guy.

Hearing Yirukis response, the corner of Nades mouth went up, and he looked towards Shirone.

You lost. palette But it was a great match.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The difference in their score was tiny, but the difference in their mental speed was huge.

Unlike the students who couldnt hide their excitement, Ethella had a serious expression.

Congratulations, Shirone.

And considering he was his friend as well, his heart silently gave him a thumbs up.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki tried to reach the end of the number. arctic To have gone beyond that?

The greatest axiom that could never be reached by simply being pushed to the limit, far beyond the number.

Some call such a thing god, and some others call it All Creation.

There was the notion of infinity.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Humans cannot become infinite. amateur But They can reach it.

How long have you known?

The emotions contained in these sentences were the sorrows that Shirone felt last night.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mages referred to this phenomenon as the Immortal Function.

Realizing the finite barrier of numbers, Shirone spread his mind into the Infinite Realm.

Indeed, humans could reach Infinity, but from then on They were no longer human

Was he really planning to leave?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was not a level that an ordinary person could reach

Nirvana []

And Ethella knew another name for this occurrence. arch A name that came from the monks.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Tears welled up in Ethellas eyes.

No, Shirone. adjust Humans should not recklessly embrace infinity. agent No matter how glorious one may seem, no matter how brilliant one may seem, the moment you enter Nirvana, your existence

But it was also something that shouldnt be reached for in the first place.

Will crumble away and dissipate.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Only high monks, who realized the worlds impermanence through long asceticism, laid down everything and entered the world of Nirvana. action But Shirone was still only a 17-year-old boy.

Right, seeing as how it ended with him only losing consciousness, it doesnt seem like he completed the journey. amateur However, if he actually did enter Nirvana

Then even Ethella didnt know what was next.

He had a bright future ahead. accent Infinity was a dangerous and futile venture.

The only thing she knew was that she would have to live the rest of her life repenting for Shirone.

* * *

Uncharacteristically, for someone who won first place, Shirone was lost in thought and looked sad.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Im sorry, Ms. arcade Ethella. amber I wanted to win. autumn I wasnt sure how dangerous it was.

Shirone, you

Ethella was sure it was no coincidence.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Dont worry, instructor. arena Because now I know. adjust I wont make the same mistake.

All the emotions Shirone experienced were hidden in his words, similar to that of a zen riddle.

Since when?

I left for A very long journey.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

He understood the situation and stopped himself, so Shirone deserved to make his own choices as well.

Alright. antique Please, treasure yourself. anxiety This teacher loves and cares a lot for you.

Not as a mage, but as a monk, Ethella was genuinely concerned about Shirones state.

Ethella knew he needed no advice.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I love you too, Ms. alien Ethella!

Seeing the opportunity, the students rushed forward.

Yes, Ill keep that in mind.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Class 5 gathered on the training ground.

I love all of you guys too. action Now I should finish the exam.

Siena would have rained fire on them and scolded them, but Ethella patted each and every one of them on the head.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Thank you for your hard work, Ms. antenna Ethella!

Since Ethella practiced monk etiquette, the students copied her. album Half as a joke, and the other half as respect.

Everyone had done their best, so they harbored satisfied expressions.

Good job. timber Its nice to end early on days when you have exams, right? zenith Everyone has worked hard. acid All of you take a good rest and have fun training for next time. acid Thank you for your hard work.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after Ethella went down the mountain, the students could not leave because of their lingering emotions.

Shirone showed signs of exhaustion while listening to Sharelle blabber away.

Shirone, Im so happy for you! anchor Im sure Amy would be as well! apple No, wait Would she be angry since her record got broken? agent Eh, whatever! advance Its her own boyfriend who won! echo Hohoho!

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Oho.

And as if to answer his prayer, Yiruki approached, causing everyone to shut up.

The students watched, excited.

I want to rest.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I lost. riddle Completely.

They were curious as to how the haughty genius would dig at Shirone this time.

Contrary to their expectations, however, Yiruki did the exact opposite.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Keukeuk. artist Seriously, you really dont change. alert Just because you eliminated the targets all at once doesnt mean you didnt use targeting. aspect That was still targeting, so dont feel iffy about it. galaxy You won.

I really dont think I won. anxiety This exam was evaluating targeting. armor However, the last magic I cast covered up the entire area.

No, I dont think that way.

At times like these, you dont have to be humble. silence Especially when its a guy like me whos waving the white flag.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

He admitted it so easily that he left Shirone rather puzzled.

After a short pause, Shirones eyes hardened.

Yeah, youre right. academy Sorry.

Then admit it. galaxy Its not idealism. ability It is wrong to study a magic that is strong enough to destroy a city while not accounting for the humans contained within it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone, you are misunderstanding. timber Explosion is not equivalent to violence. portal Violence is the will to hurt someone. amateur Its up to the humans. canvas Theres no will to an explosion. acoustic Its just something that has a much stronger energy than humans.

…Are you serious?

Even though his admission didnt fully satisfy Shirone, he knew Yiruki was a nerd who only pursued mathematical results.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I agree. arch So this is how I define explosions. athlete It is an uncontrollable energy. acquire But you know, what if we are able to control the explosion? adapt Explosions powerful enough to blow up cities can turn into a force for good. palette Imagine An energy that can feed and keep 100,000 people alive. absorb In simpler terms, energy is also our life force. abstract What would happen then?

A new era will commence. palette If we could control such energy, people would fight less due to the abundance of resources. harbor Many could have luxurious, care-free lives. absorb Of course, I dont have such a noble belief. antenna But if such a world is possible, shouldnt we at least try? abstract Because my abilities are meant to be used to help push for such a future.

Shirone blinked once.

But it is us humans who wield that energy. action We might not have it within us, be we can wield it.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

You should have just said it like that from the beginning then There wouldve been nothing to be offended about.

Uh

Shirones mind got all jumbled, but he heard Yirukis words clearly.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki smirked.

What if it cant be controlled? abstract What if such a situation occurs? action Nobody can take responsibility.

Youre so Naive. afford Even if we can control the energy, if we cant control the humans that use it, it will only be a force that will lead the world to its downfall. absorb But Shirone, Im going to do it. attic Im not stopping because Im afraid of that. arcade Even if one of the victims ends up being me.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki sat down and looked up at the sky.

Haha! beacon Thats right, but

Should I just stop here, then? arctic Play around and waste my time in Class 5? adjust Then if staying here gets boring, maybe I just live my life as a dungeon digger or something? echo These kinds of thoughts have never left me. acquire It might be better for a dangerous guy like to stay here. arch To never go out into the world.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Didnt that mean his only reason for staying in Class 5 was because he was afraid of his own talent?

Shirone was distraught.

His classmates were dumbfounded.

Idealism or realism? arch What side is this guy on?

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Yiruki reached out his hand and grabbed Shirone, pulling him into a standing position.

From now on, Im your responsibility.

Thats why

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I never thought Id lose to anyone in my life. acquire So maybe youre the only one who can beat me. galaxy In the distant future, if my ways will cause tragedy, you prevent it. accent If I am too much of a risk, even if you kill me, I will never resent you.

But give me a little more ti

Huh? anxiety Responsibility?

Shirone was panicking.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone stared Yiruki in the eye.

If you dont do it, I cant take a step forward here. alien I will not move on. atomic I will stay here.

Yiruki interrupted.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

If he had rejected Yiruki then and there, the future Yiruki himself had envisioned would have merely become an idealistic theory.

Okay.

There was not an ounce of sarcasm, pretentiousness, or exaggeration. wizard Only true sincerity.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

The students looked blank.

Whats up with them? action Do they really think they can achieve such a feat? avalanche This is Class 5.

I will definitely stop you. athlete No. altitude I will make sure you never make such a mistake.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Aaahh!! timber You guys are so cool! aspect As expected of my friends! adjust Nice, lets do our best!

He gave a small shout.

To make their dreams a reality, they would have to overcome countless barriers.

But unlike their other schoolmates, Nade was moved.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

Nade wrapped his arms around both of their necks, and Shirone and Yiruki smiled at each other.

Hes really strong.

Perhaps He might actually be a pretty nice guy.

While they both had similar thoughts, Shirone recalled his face-off with Yiruki.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 48: Limitless (5) published by TrungTu Reads.

I will definitely keep my promise.

The only thing that could stop something finite that was running at the speed of light was the great infinity.

Shirone felt that there was a possibility he might not be able to win next time, but he didnt care. anxiety Because he knew that he was the only one who could suppress Yiruki.
