He was different from those who rushed out of their cells without a thought. galaxy Moreover, the man was restrained not only with shackles but also handcuffs, which the archmage found appealing.

Rebellion? arctic Sounds like fun. silence Will you join?

Heh, unbelievable. anchor Do you know where you are? anxiety This is Inferno, the western prison. crystal Planning a rebellion, are you?

The man sighed, lifting his arms constrained by handcuffs to scratch his head. echo His eyes, peeking through his forearms, shone sharply as he suddenly leaped forward.

If it gets me out, why not?

His jump, overcoming the weight of the iron balls due to his impressive Schema, resulted in a direct hit to the archmages face with the iron ball.

You must have heard, even if you didn’t see. orbit There’s no freedom unless you can defeat me.

Boom!

“Master!”

“Annoying magic.”

“Not bad. wizard You pass.”

The archmage remained unfazed. amateur The side of his face hit by the iron ball was covered in a dark shadow, thanks to his Dark Skin magic that maximized the absorption of impact with dark magic.

The archmage cast the Might of Darkness. matrix Shadows rising from the ground gripped the man’s shackles and handcuffs.

“Freedom suits you. august Follow me. accent There’s work to be done.”

“Money moves you, doesn’t it? agent Help me, and you’ll earn a fortune.”

“Heh, big money, huh? zenith If the amount is mediocre, Ill quit halfway.”

Mages being wealthy was common knowledge.

With that, the man followed the archmage out of the prison. arch And thus, Inferno had one escapee.

Shirone’s group rented an inn after gathering and organizing materials from the library. crystal Two days of intense discussion helped them grasp the concept of the Photon Cannon.

Without mass, nothing changes. accent A world where today is the same as yesterday isn’t necessarily bad, is it?

“Why does mass exist?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Nade asked,

“Mass isnt weight. portal Weight is the force acting in the direction of gravity. attic Theres no direction in space. arcade So, what is mass? voyage Cohesion? canvas But that doesnt seem to fully explain it.”

Yet, mass existed from the beginning. alpha As if the world was meant to be filled with new events.

The feeling was clear, but not distinct.

“Existence.”

“Then what do you think it is?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Eh?”

“Hmm, sounds plausible. amateur Like the will or breath of the creator.”

“The proof that it exists in this space. orbit Maybe thats what mass is?”

Inspired by Nade’s words, Yiruki snapped his fingers.

“Eh? academy What?”

“Particle of God.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone nodded repeatedly. arena It felt as if the term wasn’t just made up by Yiruki, but rather it perfectly fit what he sensed.

“Oh, not bad. action Shirone, what do you think?”

“The Particle of God. august Isnt it good? ability Let’s call the particle discovered by Shirone the Particle of God.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

As the discussion wound down, Yiruki flopped onto the bed, tired from a day of studying.

“I like it. silence And this is important.”

“Right. alien A mage’s omnipotence is connected to feelings. apple Its best to use a name that resonates with you.”

In that sense, the Particle of God was an excellent choice.

Nade joined in,

“Of course. atlas Climbing to class four this semester. atom We’ll study like crazy now. matrix Worst case, Shirone might graduate before us.”

“Phew, let’s finish the analysis and return to school tomorrow. alpha With classes resuming the day after, lets be mentally prepared. athlete Surely you havent forgotten the promise?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone could graduate first, given the significance of discovering the Particle of God.

What started as a joke was now a serious possibility on their faces.

That might be possible.

Though Shirones comment wasnt wrong, the pace of his growth was enough to cause alarm. riddle A student who didn’t even know the Four-Way Formation six months ago was now contemplating graduation.

“Shirone, you dont plan to stay another year after graduating, do you?”

“Ill study some more before sleeping.”

“Ha! action What are you saying? acquire In the current situation, Im the most likely to break the promise. timber At least you guys are in the top ranks.”

‘I’ve made good friends.’

“What? palette Then, me too!”

As Yiruki got up to study, Nade also took a spot at the table to begin.

Even if the world ends tomorrow, they’d rather study and play. echo Seeing his friends burning with scholarly passion, Shirone was touched.

Shirone was the last to open a book.

Thadd attended as a representative of the Alpheas Magic Academy. antique The ongoing discussion on the pros and cons of rote education was driving him insane.

The Kingdom’s Educational and Academic Association of Teachers.

The academic conference organized by the Association brought together professionals from all fields related to society and culture, including magic and swordsmanship schools, various religious orders, academic institutions, the Alchemy Foundation, and the elite group of 99 Artists. atlas It was a venue where they all gathered to present visions for the kingdom.

He had reluctantly attended due to a draw but despised it thoroughly. atomic Having been a notorious troublemaker since his school days, Thadd believed education had nothing to do with him, whether it was formal or informal.

The only consolation was the presence of attractive female teachers. autumn Particularly, a woman sitting at the opposite round table caught his eye, with her wavy blue hair and playful nature evident even in formal attire.

“Darn it. acid Don’t these people ever sleep? acquire Let’s just go home.”

As the evening party hosted by the Association began, the heat of the discussions disappeared like a lie. absorb Participants mingled, sipping wine and networking with peers from various fields.

The conference ended at 7 PM.

A musician affiliated with the prestigious group of 99 Artists and a disciple of the Melodist Merhen, she attended as a guest artist.

“She’s quite something. altitude Reina Ogent, was it?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Art is a skill of handling emotions and thus wields influence over the public that even the powerful can’t ignore.

Reina responded kindly to everyone with a friendly smile, which surprised Thadd. anxiety Her cheerful nature seemed at odds with the infamous reputation of the 99 Artists.

“Poor beauty, always surrounded,” Thadd thought as he waited for his turn to speak with her, overhearing their mostly authoritative or mischievous conversations.

Around Reina, particularly, were high-profile individuals, even recognizable to those indifferent to the Association.

Many artists, given the critical nature of art, were stubborn, but Reina appeared to be an exception, pleasantly mingling with people from all walks of life.

While sipping wine with these thoughts, Reina, having finished her conversation, approached Thadd.

“If only Siena could be half as approachable as her.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Hello, Mr. canvas Thadd.”

“Of course. atomic You’re a teacher at the Alpheas Magic Academy. academy The Ogent family’s main house is in Creas.”

“Oh, yes! abandon Wait, do you know me?”

Their shared hometown brought a familiar warmth to their conversation, and they talked for a long time. canvas As Thadd had guessed, Reina was lively and fun.

“Shirone? orbit How do you know… Oh, right.”

“How is Shirone doing?”

“Oh, right. meadow I forgot about that. auction Nice to meet you.”

“Trouble? athlete What kind of trouble?”

“Shirone was a guest of the Ogent family. harbor Indeed, a noble family with a keen eye for talent. artist He’s doing well, although he recently got into a bit of trouble.”

Recalling Shirones test, where he had written the Ogent family as his guardian, Thadd remembered.

Reinas wide-eyed reaction made Thadd regret his words. voyage Learning that a student sponsored by the Ogent family was under suspension could bruise her pride.

“Oh, I see.”

Reina sighed in relief. meadow From Thadd’s description, she could imagine Shirone’s life.

“Ahaha! avalanche Nothing serious. abandon Hes just such an outstanding student that even minor things get blown out of proportion.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Absolutely. abstract Popular with both boys and girls. beacon Sometimes I even get jealous. admire Hahaha!”

“Really? canvas Then, maybe…”

“It’s good to hear he’s doing well. beacon Does he have many friends?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Haha! atlas Dont worry. absorb I may be biased, but Alpheas is a prestigious school. atom You can trust us with his care.”

“No, its just good to know he’s well.”

“Something on your mind?”

Reina paused, about to ask if he had a girlfriend, but shook her head. riddle It was a legitimate question for a patron, but the inquirer in her heart wasn’t just using the patron’s name.

“Huhu, right. acoustic I was overstepping, sorry.”

Reina politely declined with a hint of regret.

“No, not at all. meadow In fact, I’ve been presumptuous. wizard How about joining me on a trip to Creas? harbor I’m leaving in the morning. silence I’d love to treat you to lunch.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Oh, thats unfortunate…”

Thadd couldn’t hide his disappointment. athlete Usually, he’d let go easily, but she was a rare find.

“Sorry, I have a concert schedule and need to return to Bashuka.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Unrest in Bashuka?”

“My, I’m flattered. riddle Actually, I was worried. apple With the recent unrest in the capital, I feared many seats might be empty.”

“Cant help it. altitude But I’d love to see your concert. adopt Could you let me know the schedule? apple I’ll come to Bashuka.”

Thadd’s brow furrowed. alpha It could be just another news story, but upon reflection, it was a rare occurrence.

Dark mages were scarce in modern times. academy And why attack Inferno, just for a B-class fugitive?

“An attack by a dark mage at Inferno, freeing a B-class fugitive. echo The capital is almost under martial law now.”

“A dark… mage?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 76: The Return of the ArchMage (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A scene from history flashed through Thadd’s mind.

Dark mage, Inferno, B-class fugitive.
