Chapter 129

After the duel with Ziren, only one thought kept swirling in my head.

'7th Circle, 7th Circle, 7th Circle......'

The fact that I had reached the 7th Circle.

The fact that I had reached the level of a high-ranking mage.

Since the 7th Circle was the point at which the realm changed so drastically that one could be called a true mage, I couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of emotion.

"......Am I really 7th Circle?"

Doubt also crept in.

Unlike Professor Ziren or Asion Gale's evaluations, I needed to confirm for myself what I thought.

I immediately took off my gloves and started.

Whoooom!

Gazing at the small sphere of light that floated above my palm, I was lost in thought.

'It's definitely different.'

It was the Light Magic I always used, but the difference was visible even to my eyes.

The mana that was constantly circulating within the sphere had definitely changed to a stable form.

Thanks to that, the Light Magic itself seemed to have become a bit clearer.

To put it a bit more simply, it felt like I had traced the outline of a blurry picture?

Moreover, I didn't even realize that my magic had looked like a blurry picture before.

I just thought it was a characteristic of Light Magic.

'......Light can be this clear?'

Whoooosh!

Spatial Magic was the same.

Perhaps because it was the place where the sphere of light had been until just now, an even deeper-looking space was created above my palm.

If I kept staring at it, it felt like I would be sucked in in an instant.

Spatial Magic as threatening as the Light Magic, which had grown further.

It wasn't for nothing that the dean and Professor Ziren had rated it so highly.

'......At this point, it's definitely the realm of the 7th Circle.'

Thump! Thump! Thump!

After directly experiencing it, my heart was beating even faster.

I immediately wanted to show this Light Magic to Ani Person.

I was incredibly curious how he would react.

He would surely be happier than me, the person directly involved in reaching the 7th Circle.

However, unfortunately, now wasn't the time for that.

There was something more important left to do than looking at someone's reaction.

'Hidden Pieces.'

It was to acquire the Hidden Pieces scattered throughout Asternon.

Since there were no separate schedules arranged, now was the perfect time to get the Hidden Pieces.

Above all, the biggest reason was that there was no reason to stay in Asternon any longer after the war ended.

It was a situation where I had to take what I could get here and leave.

"Mr. First Place!"

"Yuhan."

"Yo!"

"You're here?"

Thompson, Kayla, and Barundel had arrived at the meeting place.

I had given them a heads up while we were having drinks.

Today, I was planning to take these three with me to

Four items classified as artifacts.

Three consumables.

And the two most valuable magic books.

"This is about enough, we've gotten almost everything we could get."

I started picking up the items one by one and distributing them to my companions.

"This is for you, Barundel, and this is yours, Kayla. And mister, take this."

"Y-you're giving us this much?"

"Then, are you not taking anything?"

My companions were bewildered and asked about the distribution that didn't leave a single item for me.

"Ah, I don't really need anything."

It wasn't empty words.

Elixirs, equipment, artifacts......

They were all things that were neither here nor there for me.

It was to the extent that it would be more profitable to just go to any store and sell them than to use them directly myself.

The magic books obtained by revealing the base of the rotten tree were the same.

Since they were obtained in Sector 7, they were worse than proper basic magic books.

Well, even so, as they were still magic books, they could be sold for a pretty high price.

Anyway.

There was the most important reason why I handed over all these items to my companions without leaving a single one out.

"Instead, if there's anything I need later, I'll keep one for myself. You can use the rest."

Because this way, there wouldn't be any objections later when we found really good items.

If my companions had their eyes on something I really needed when I found it, it would be quite a difficult situation.

That's why I handed over less important things, and as I thought.

"Alright. Do as you please."

"......We've met a good party leader. It seems like we always receive more than we give."

"Uhaha! Isn't that proof that Mr. First Place has the qualities of a hero?"

My companions readily agreed.

Without anyone knowing my true intentions.

'This is ultimately a good thing for all of you.'

Everything was going according to plan.
