Infinite Mage

“Don’t be mistaken. advance I will never forgive you.”

“It’s a wise decision. meadow Ignoring nine for the sake of one is foolish. adapt In any situation, never stop thinking. august Everything in the world is determined by the amount of thought. arrow Combat is no different.”

“Haha! avalanche If you’re also determined, there’s nothing more to ask for. autumn Shall I guess? armor You grow in real combat. adjust A school that teaches only standardized things doesn’t suit you. attic How about it? absorb Won’t you join me? silence I’ll make you the greatest mage.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. adopt I respect the teachers here far more than a murderer like you.”

“How do you know that…?”

“Then tell me. legend What have you learned here? aluminum Photon Cannon? amber Red wavelength? arcade Or did they even advise you on Immortal Function?”

Shirone’s eyes wavered slightly.

Arcane burst into laughter. adapt This must be why he enjoys teaching. armor Gathering naive children and spouting nonsense to his heart’s content.

“It’s indeed rare. august Immortal Function, is that an ordinary realm? afford But child, there are terrifying monsters in places you don’t know. sphere If you mingle with them joyfully…”

Shirone swallowed dryly. avalanche How many life-and-death situations must one overcome to casually mention Unlockers as not rare? academy Regardless of skill, the accumulated experience alone made him a different entity.

“Unlockers aren’t that rare either.”

Arcane grinned slyly with one eye.

“You won’t learn anything in a school that ignores uniqueness, teaching the same things. auction You need to sharpen your unique strengths. ability I can help you with that.”

“I don’t learn magic to defeat someone. riddle Don’t lump me with someone like you.”

It was undeniable, though bitter. accent Uniqueness could be a variable that ignores objective power, yet sometimes it’s a double-edged sword, powerless before straightforward methods.

“In 100 years, I’ve met seven. adjust Four were decent, and I killed three. shadow The uniqueness of Unlockers is distinct. athlete The potential for distortion is infinite. arrow But untrained uniqueness dies before greater stability.”

“You think everyone likes you now. auction But humans are naturally favorable to the great. ability It’s not that they like you personally. audit How long do you think you can interact with such hypocrites?”

Arcane read the conflict in Shirone’s eyes. adopt Of course, without a similar obsession with magic, he wouldn’t have reached his current position.

But Shirone just listened silently.

Everyone frowned at Arcane’s words.

Arcane spread three fingers.

“Get stronger. action Make them unable to ignore you forever. alert Otherwise, they will trample on you. autumn Can you still avoid conflict with polished excuses when that happens?”

“Three years. crystal I’ll make you a mage no one on the continent can ignore within three years. arrow Too short? matrix I don’t think so. echo If we maximize your uniqueness, it’s not impossible.”

“Shirone…”

“Your words may be right.”

To Shirone, it wasn’t nonsense. antenna As an Unlocker, staying in school seemed fruitless. alien At best, he would easily land a job in the mage society.

Nade and Yiruki’s faces darkened.

Arcane frowned. amateur Whatever Arcane did to brainwash the students was admirable.

“Maybe you’re right. afford But still, I won’t follow you. artist This academy isn’t just a place for me to fight; it’s where my life is. amateur Teachers, friends, a sense of belonging. adopt I don’t think you can offer me those things.”

If it’s the truth, there’s no need to deny it. matrix Unlockers hold a unique position in the mage society, and standardized education at a magic school has its limits in skill development.

Arcane ground his teeth, his face reddening.

“If that’s really everything, then what’s left for you now? sphere Everyone hates you. artist Aren’t you lonely? arctic No one cares about you, so you can only prove yourself this way.”

“You’re being deceived. atomic Those things don’t matter in life. avalanche If you weren’t strong, you would have been just an average kid at school. anxiety Proving your strength is everything in life.”

The word ‘murderer’ ignited madness in Arcane’s eyes.

“Haha! auction Maybe. adjust But did you know? arrow I once had comrades. action But one led everyone to ruin. meadow That’s the Alpheas you respect.”

“No. absorb You’re just a murderer who nobody cares about.”

“Nonsense. acid The strong are lonely. sphere It’s the weak who seek to band together. adapt Look at the situation. airport Everyone is kneeling at my feet. acoustic I rule them. acquire This is loneliness.”

“I don’t know what happened in the past, but I won’t listen to you. harbor You’re a murderer. amateur And you’re still committing murder.”

“Murderer, you say. atomic Then isnt Alpheas… just like me?”

Shirone didn’t believe it. adapt He had heard from Ethella about their enmity. academy The Alpheas he knew wouldn’t lead anyone to ruin.

“Hahaha! alpha Of course, I know. album That kid was my disciple.”

“Lies. advance What do you know about the headmaster?”

Shirone widened his eyes, shocked.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was speechless. arctic Alpheas was a pioneer of light magic since his youth. alpha How could someone who practices dark magic be his mentor?

Arcane looked up at the sky, reminiscing. crystal Realizing something, he turned to Ethella.

“What…?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I see.”

“No. academy He has devoted his life to education, living alone.”

“Did Alpheas ever marry?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

A fleeting sadness passed through Arcane’s eyes. sphere Although he harbored hatred for Alpheas for 40 years, the only thing he possibly felt sympathy for was the matter of Erina.

Ethella tilted her head in confusion. airport To her knowledge, Alpheas had always been single. academy Even if he had married and separated, it should have been documented as a union of houses.

“But Headmaster Alpheas is officially single.”

“You might not know, but Alpheas was once married.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It seems his marriage was never acknowledged. avalanche But Alpheas was indeed married. adopt They lived together for three years. acoustic Her name was Erina. auction A wonderful woman. afford She shone brighter and was more beautiful than anyone.”

Arcane tapped his head as he spoke.

“At that time, Alpheas was a rising star, recognized for his Photon Theory. acid Having received the Gold Circle Award from the Emperor, you can imagine his stature. avalanche He secured a position in the Thunder Dragons’ Magic Department and set up a household with a woman from the Bastadd family. portal He had nothing to envy in the world. abandon But he had his worries.”

“What exactly happened between you two? abstract Is it something worth harboring a grudge over, even after 50 years?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“His wife, Erina, was a bit slow. auction Her intelligence was around that of a ten-year-old.”

“But Alpheas didn’t mind. matrix He truly loved his wife. atom His affection was neither pity nor pretense.”

“I see.”

Arcane’s memory traveled back in time, to 40 years ago. autumn It was when Arcane ruled the world, and Alpheas, a new star in the magic world, was dubbed a supernova.

“Count on me in the future. voyage Don’t forget your old friends now that you’re successful.”

Fanfares echoed in the Grand Hall. alert As Alpheas walked amid the colorful confetti, tears of joy welled in his eyes. attic The Gold Circle Award, given to the mage with the highest achievement of the year, ensured entry into Thunder Strike and support from numerous noble families.

“Congratulations, Alpheas. adjust I knew you would win.”

“This year’s Gold Circle Award! acid Alpheas Myrhe!”

Many mages flocked around Alpheas, hoping to make an early impression, foreseeing his continuously rising value.

“Hmph. arctic Married an idiot and rose to fame. adjust Myrhe and Bastadd’s union, how can anyone compete with that?”

However, not all eyes were favorable. legend Saroph, who had been a close competitor until the end, looked sour as if he had swallowed something bitter.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

Saroph was aware too. absorb As long as they were part of the magic society, it was wise to get on Alpheas’s good side.

“What will you do, Saroph? adopt Approaching subtly and seeking reconciliation might make it worse. august Shall we leave it for later and go for a drink?”

“It’s true. crystal It’s really frustrating. antique But what can we do, the results are out. avalanche We need to watch our words around Alpheas now.”

“Hahaha! august You did it, my friend! sphere My friend won the Gold Circle! zenith I can’t believe it!”

Klumph heartily laughed, pulling Alpheas out of the crowd. afford Alpheas wanted a break, but soon found his face squeezed against Klumph’s muscular arm.

Saroph left the castle with his friends. attic Although he narrowly missed the Gold Circle Award, no one paid attention to the loser.

“Sounds good. advance I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

“Ouch! amber It hurts!”

Alpheas screamed, but Klumph’s celebration knew no bounds.

Alpheas felt dizzy but didn’t think of escaping. autumn It’s the Gold Circle. atomic When else would he experience such thrilling pain?

“When you were being a smart aleck, I really wanted to beat you up, but now I see, you’re a genius! adjust You did it, man!”

“Ah, I can’t go right now. arctic I need to stop by somewhere.”

“What? ability The star of the night can’t be absent. apple What’s the matter?”

“Alright! action Let’s drink until our stomachs burst on this great day. adopt I’ve booked a tavern, just bring your stomach, leave your brain!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

It started with the Myrhe family. sphere They couldn’t accept their son, sent abroad for education, marrying a foolish woman.

Klumph couldn’t argue with that. adopt Having married Erina a year ago, due to opposition from both families, they lived in a small house in a civilian area without any support.

“I’m going home. beacon I want to put the medal on my wife.”

The Bastadd family didn’t back down either. sphere They claimed that despite being nobles, they wouldn’t be looked down upon, even if their daughter was a bit slow.

“No need. matrix What wife would like to see her husband drunk? artist I’ll just be back soon.”

In the end, Alpheas and Erina had an unofficial wedding ceremony with only friends present.

“Right. aluminum There’s Mrs. athlete Erina. apple Why not bring her here?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 93: Genius Lost in Light (2) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Will do. artist Go ahead to the tavern!”

“Stubborn as always. anxiety Well, hurry back.”

Alpheas rushed out of the castle. alien Despite being exhausted from relentless research, he felt exhilarated tonight.

“Honey, I’m back.”

‘I did it! atlas I made it!’

Winning the kingdom’s most prestigious award meant that the Myrhe family would have to accept him back, paving the way for a formal wedding with Erina.

“Are you back? adopt Have you eaten?”

Erina knew about the award day. atomic In any other home, there might have been a surprise party, but she greeted him as usual from the kitchen.
