Training-Addicted Mage In A Progression Fantasy-Chapter 14: Legendary Talent?
Chapter 14: Legendary Talent?
Leon had never mentioned the Full-Attribute Body until now.
There was no need to.
He never expected it to happen in the first place.
When Leon first read the Mana Introduction Book, there was a brief mention of the Full-Attribute Body.
It was just one line.
It is a talent only passed down in legends, so there is no need to consider it.
It meant that having talent in all attributes was virtually impossible.
It wasn’t just a top-tier talent, but a unique one, so it was obvious that having high expectations would only lead to disappointment.
But now, it was right in front of him.
With trembling hands, Leon pressed ‘Apply.’
Unlike the moment when he changed from a Single Attribute Body to a Triple Attribute Body, the moment he applied the constitution, his mind became hazy.
It was as if a black hole had formed in his head.In the wavering consciousness, he felt a suction force that seemed to absorb everything.
And then, like the birth of the primordial universe, something compressed exploded with a bang.
“Ah.”
At that moment, Leon was filled with ecstasy.It was a fantastic sensation that couldn’t be compared to the joy he felt when he first awakened his Mana.It felt as refreshing as if his brain had been dipped in cold water and then pulled out.
The five senses that opened up spread out as if to cover the entire city.
He felt as if he could place every single Mana particle in the atmosphere under his control.A sense of omnipotence, as if he could take anything by simply waving his hand.
With his heightened senses, Leon absentmindedly raised his hand and repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fist.
This was like...
I feel like I’ve become a God.
Leon felt that way for a moment.
The heightened senses that made his hair stand on end gradually subsided.
Although the initial sense of omnipotence also subsided, the feeling that he could control the surrounding Mana at will remained.
In other words, it felt familiar.
It was as if a new sensory system had been added to his body.

Leon recalled the Arpina Basic Magic he had been self-studying.
The facts that he hadn’t understood before began to click into place like gears.
Ah, so that’s what it was...
New facts that he hadn’t known before also came to mind.
In fact, Leon had been feeling a bit of a wall with Arpina Basic Magic.
It was because Arpina Basic Magic started dealing with fire at the 3-star level, and Leon had no talent for the fire attribute.
That was one of the reasons he wanted a new constitution.
He felt that his progression would slow down if he reached the 3-star level as he was.
Wait... this might be...
As he began to understand Arpina’s magic more precisely, Leon started to get a subtle feeling about the system of this magic.
It felt like he could create a more efficient Spell Formula.
That feeling remained as an elusive ambiguity.It seemed that Leon’s absolute knowledge of magic was still lacking to find the answer.
Leon let go of that ambiguity for now.
This means I need to focus on training!
He would probably understand that ambiguity as he continued to train.
He had received enough rewards for his consistent training.
****
Leon then immersed himself even more in his training.
Let’s aim for the 3rd Grade this time.
Another month passed.
Leon swallowed all 20 of the F-grade Elixirs he had been saving just in case.
As a result, his Magic Quality rose from E-grade to E+ grade.It was thanks to consuming nearly 100 F-grade Essences.
If he had consumed E-grade Concentrate, he could have raised his Magic Quality in one go, but he hadn’t expected that in the first place.
Leon decided to be satisfied with the fact that his Magic Quality had increased.
What he realized as he changed his constitution and consumed the Elixirs was that the amount he could digest varied even with the same Elixir.
Does this also depend on talent?
While realizing this new fact, Leon also felt a sense of frustration.Talent really was everything...
That’s why he had to train even harder.
His level rose surprisingly quickly, and within a month, Leon was on the verge of reaching the 3rd Grade.
It had been five months since he reached the 2nd Grade.
With 30 hours left to use the Space-Time Orb, Leon ascended to the 3rd Grade.
[Progression Assistant]• Information▶ Name: Leon▶ Grade: Apprentice 3rd Grade▶ Magic Quality: E+▶ Attribute Constitution: Full-Attribute Body (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Wood, Lightning, Light, Darkness) • General Quest▶ Basic Magic Training (Completed)• Reward▶ Artifact (Changed) • Breakthrough Quest▶ Realm Ascension (Completed)Leon now familiarly completed the Breakthrough Quest.
[Progression Assistant]▶ Reward probability has increased due to realm ascension.▶ Provided 300 hours of Space-Time Orb use.▶ Please select an additional realm ascension reward.▶ Artifact (D+ grade Guardian Golem Summoning Flute) / Magic Book (D+ grade Basic Mental Purification Magic)Is there a certain criterion for the additional reward of Realm Ascension?
Leon had secretly hoped for Concentrate that could raise his Magic Quality to D-grade, but the reward had changed.
Leon briefly recalled the E-grade Triple Fireball Scroll he had used on Paulin.
Since the E-grade worked well on an Apprentice 3rd Grade Mage, the D+ grade would probably work on a 4th or 5th Grade Mage.
After some consideration, Leon chose the Artifact that could summon a Golem.
A green flute with a strange pattern engraved on it appeared in his palm.
Leon thought that he still needed a physical defense weapon at his current level.He didn’t think he would have many opportunities to use the D+ grade Mental Purification Magic.Even if a situation arose where mental contamination occurred, he couldn’t be sure that the basic purification magic would be effectively used.
Leon put the flute in his Spatial Pocket and turned his attention to the General Quest.
Since obtaining the constitution, the rewards for the General Quest alternated between Elixirs and Artifacts.The rewards he received so far hadn’t changed much from before, but thanks to the increased probability, he occasionally received E-grade Elixirs or Artifacts.
Imp's Essence (E-) X 2Imp's Essence (E+) X 1
In addition, 10 F-grade Elixirs.He had already consumed 5 of them during training.
As his knowledge of Elixirs increased, he learned that even the same Imp’s Essence was divided into E- grade and E+ grade.The quality varied depending on the manufacturing process.
One-time Blink Scroll (E-) X 1One-time Flame Scroll (E-) X 1Low-grade Magic Power Enhancement Ring (E) X 1Magic Power Recovery Honey Candy (F-) X 1
In addition, 9 F-grade one-time Scrolls.
The low-grade Magic Power Enhancement Ring was an Artifact that slightly increased the amount of Magic Power, but he hadn’t worn it yet and kept it in his Spatial Pocket.It was to avoid being noticed by other mages.
The honey candy had a similar effect to the ring, but it was a one-time use candy.For Leon, who could recover his Magic Power by entering the orb, it wasn’t a very necessary item.
Leon also completed the General Quest.
[Progression Assistant]▶ Acquired Bima's Bracelet (B+).“Oh?”
Leon stared at the black bracelet in his palm.
If it was Bima’s Bracelet, did it mean he could conceal his Magic Power?
Leon immediately put on the bracelet.
He spent some time injecting Magic Power into the bracelet and checking its uses.
And Leon realized why this bracelet was rated B+.
As he initially expected, the bracelet could conceal Magic Power.But its effect exceeded Leon’s expectations.
He could control it entirely at his will.
He could conceal it to the 2nd Grade or 1st Grade, and if he wanted, he could make himself appear as an ordinary person.
It was the most needed Artifact for Leon, who had been using low-grade Magic Concealment Spells.
A satisfied smile naturally formed on Leon’s lips.
“Hehe...”
Not long after obtaining the Full-Attribute Body, he had obtained Bima’s Bracelet.
Now I don’t have to worry about being discovered as a mage in secret.
Leon, who was enjoying his joy, lay down on the spot.
He was tired from staying up several nights to raise his level.
****
Leon, who had stocked up on Scrolls needed for any possible battles, completely switched his rewards to Elixirs.
With the constitution now excluded from the options, it was definitely easier to choose.
He spent another month stabilizing his 3rd Grade level and continuing his training.
As the time when Leon had come to Widia passed a year, Ria visited Leon after a long time.
She was facing Leon in the place where he waited while on duty.Ria seemed to have matured a bit more in the meantime.
Is it because I haven’t seen her in a while?
Ria was also looking at Leon’s complexion here and there.Leon was hiding his level as a 1st Grade with Bima’s Bracelet.
High-level mages can instantly grasp the level of mages lower than themselves...
Leon couldn’t grasp Ria’s level.It was because he didn’t know how.
Is it the Common Magic that Arpina and Paulin mentioned?
While Leon was lost in thought, Ria, seemingly satisfied with her observation, opened her mouth.
“You seem to be doing well these days?”“Really?”“Yeah, you look good.”
Leon briefly touched his face.He had been doing well.He had hit the jackpot with the gacha.Did it show that much?
“What about you? How have you been?”“I’m diligently training under my master. These days, she’s urging me to reach the 2nd Grade quickly. She said that if I reach the 2nd Grade now, I’ll be among the fastest among Widia’s disciples. If I had started training a little earlier, I would have been the youngest to reach the 2nd Grade in history.”
If reaching the 2nd Grade at the age of 13 was considered fast, then the youngest in history must have reached the 2nd Grade at around 10 or 11 years old?Considering Ria’s talent, it wouldn’t be a big difference.
“What about Rowen?”“Rowen is Maelyn’s disciple, and she recently reached the 2nd Grade. So, although my master doesn’t say it, she seems to subtly hope that I catch up with Rowen quickly.”“Really? Well, she must have started training much earlier...”
Leon spoke as if to console Ria.
Still, judging by her words, Ria must still be at the 1st Grade level.
“Ung... But, are you interested in Rowen?”“Huh?”
A question mark appeared on Leon’s face, who was lost in thought.Interested in Rowen?He was just curious because he heard she was a Six-Attribute Body.
“I heard you met her a few times while working under Master. Did you like her?”
Leon briefly recalled Rowen’s annoyed expression.Interested? No way...
Leon shook his head firmly.
“There’s no way. I don’t like her.”“...Really?”“Yeah. But why do you ask?”“I was just wondering if Leon was starting to take an interest in the opposite sex...”
Leon chuckled.If it was training instead of the opposite sex, he would have readily admitted it.
After that, Leon and Ria talked about various everyday things.When they were running out of things to say, Ria cautiously spoke up.
“Actually... I have a public sparring match with the professors next week... Can you come and cheer for me?”“...”
Leon reflexively wondered if he had any free time outside of training next week.
Maybe because he didn’t answer right away.Ria’s face turned sullen.
“If you’re busy...”“No. I’ll come.”
Leon hastily replied.
It would be too shameless to just take the Spatial Pocket and not show up...
