Training-Addicted Mage In A Progression Fantasy-Chapter 64: Asteria (4)

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth.Luminous symbols representing the four elements rose around Leon.

The four elements began their mystical dance, orbiting around Leon like celestial bodies in the cosmos.Everyone in the chamber fixed their gaze upon Leon.

He deliberately chose not to summon his Creatures.The presence of Summoned Creatures wasn’t essential for what Leon intended to accomplish.

A delicate vibration coursed through his fingertips.It was the force generated by the collision of attributes.

Magic that unifies attributes into a single devastating force is Grand Magic, achievable only at the Advanced Mystic level.The Six-Element Sky Light that Arpina had demonstrated exemplified exactly that.

For Arpina, Harmony meant the ultimate fusion, where everything dissolves into one.The Six-Element Sky Light she showcased was the crystallization of that philosophy.The Six-Element Sky Light, a radiant beam that cleaves heaven and earth while consuming everything in its path.Its overwhelming destructive capability was undeniably awe-inspiring.

But Leon was pursuing a different approach.

Instead, the four-colored lights grew more intense and began to vibrate.This occurred because Leon, rather than restraining the power, was channeling more Magic Power into it.

Following Leon’s will, the elements attempted to merge at his fingertips, but they violently repelled each other like mismatched magnetic poles.

Attempting to merge four distinct attributes while maintaining their full power made fusion even more challenging.

The colors reflected like a rainbow in Leon’s pupils.Beads of sweat formed on his forehead from concentration, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

He wasn’t trying to merge the four attributes into one overwhelming force, but rather evolve them into a new form where each maintained its inherent power while harmoniously interacting with the others.

What he experienced wasn’t just a single massive Magic, but a new possibility emerging from the intersection and interweaving of each attribute at their boundaries.

To combine SSS-grade Magic, this must be possible.

Whoosh-

But the elements refused to merge as intended, merely trembling in place.

Leon remained patient.

A subtle wave of Magic Power rippled from his fingertips.

He searched for points where each element could enhance and complement the others while preserving their unique qualities.

Even during these attempts, new insights were dawning in Leon’s mind.

However, the attributes still couldn’t achieve harmonious integration and eventually dispersed in an instant.He had failed to master even the Four Elements.Such an ambitious feat couldn’t be achieved with a minor revelation all at once.

Leon wiped away a bead of sweat and turned to Glios.

“...”

Glios couldn’t easily find words under Leon’s gaze.This held true not only for Glios but for all the Personal Disciples occupying the space.

Glios uncrossed his arms from behind his back and thoughtfully stroked his chin, breaking the silence only after considerable contemplation.

“Are you aware that the Magic you just demonstrated surpasses the level of a Personal Disciple? To be precise, I mean the insight you’re attempting to gain.”

Was he suggesting it was unusual for an Apprentice 5th Grade to contemplate such matters?

“The coexistence of attributes...”

He appeared to have immediately grasped Leon’s intentions.His gaze remained fixed on Leon.Unlike before, he couldn’t provide a clear answer right away, falling into contemplative silence between exchanges.

“...”

The surrounding Personal Disciples regarded Leon with bewildered expressions.

They struggled to follow the exchange between Glios and Leon.

Neither the advanced Magic that the boy had demonstrated before Glios.Nor the fact that he was merely an Apprentice 5th Grade.And that Glios, known for his profound teachings, was seriously contemplating the matter.

It wasn’t long ago that rumors had circulated about a Personal Disciple with a Light Attribute Body, one of the few in Asteria, joining under Arpina.Even she had only reached Apprentice 3rd Grade.Yet here was a boy, appearing no older than Ria, already at Apprentice 5th Grade?Wasn’t this a realm achievable only if someone with Light or Darkness Attributes had trained consistently since age 7 or 8?

Did this mean this newcomer also possessed the Celestial Attribute?If so, Asteria would soon be buzzing with this news once again.

“The Magic is Arpina’s Magic. Yet within it, you’re exploring a different path...”

Glios pondered before speaking again.

“You’ve been contemplating this for quite some time, haven’t you?”“...Yes, that’s correct.”“Not fusion, but coexistence...”

Glios suddenly opened his palm.Six tiny attribute lights materialized above it.

The lights twirled above his palm before merging into one.However, Glios immediately closed his fist, dispersing the light.

“Harmony is essential to any Mage working with attributes. If you explore the true meaning of Harmony to its depths, you’ll surely discover unprecedented realms. That is the Creation of new Magic. However, this path isn’t easily traveled. Only those with proper qualities can achieve it. Arpina exemplifies this perfectly. Regardless of realm, she likely understands this better than I do. So what I can offer is...”

Glios offered a subtle smile.

“This is better demonstrated than explained. Come, show it once more.”

As Leon summoned the elements again, Glios began subtly influencing them with his Magic Power.

Leon felt Glios’s Magic Power touching one of his elements.Then, centered on that element, all attributes naturally began converging.As the elements merged harmoniously without rejection, a brilliant light manifested before Leon’s eyes.

In that moment, understanding struck.

Leon channeled more Magic Power into the three attributes under his control.

“...!”

The harmoniously fused light began to vibrate wildly.

Glios had to inject more Magic Power into the attribute he was influencing.His expression twisted with surprise.

He hadn’t anticipated Leon using him to push further.

But that astonishment proved momentary.Glios focused his mind on the intense flow of Magic Power.If things went awry, the elemental power could explode and endanger the disciples.

As the Advanced Insight Mage carefully adjusted, the vibration gradually subsided.

The light slowly shifted to gray, shimmering in perfect balance.In that fleeting moment when the four attributes coexisted and merged as one, Leon experienced an indescribable ecstasy.

Soon after, Glios withdrew his influence with a resigned laugh.

Leon maintained this state independently for a while, utilizing his momentary insight.Though it vibrated dangerously as if about to scatter, the fusion held.

Magic Power flowed like a gray tide.It moved so swiftly that even Leon, with his substantial Magic Power at the Intermediate Arcane level, struggled to control it.

When Leon inevitably withdrew his Magic Power, the attributes dispersed once more.

“Haa...”

Leon released an exhausted sigh.

It’s only the Four Elements, but.

This experience had granted him profound insight.He could grasp the true meaning of Harmony he’d conceived, its potential, and how that path would unfold ahead.

Leon bowed his head.

“Thank you.”“...”

Glios silently observed Leon.His eyes reflected complex emotions.

***

Beyond the Magic Tower’s window, a yellow-tinged moon hung quietly.Soft moonlight filtered through the tower’s uppermost window, gently illuminating the Tower Master’s office.

There, besides Glios, Calderic sat quietly before the table.

“...”

A profound silence stretched between them.

Glios studied Calderic at length with his hands behind his back, then slowly shifted his gaze to the window.

I would like to receive guidance on Harmony

The earlier moment when he had instructed a Personal Disciple came to mind.It was the request made by the composed young man at that time.

For an ordinary Mage, this would be an age for establishing magical foundations.However, Leon’s Magic Power far exceeded such basic categorization.

Superficially, it appeared limited to Apprentice 5th Grade, but Glios could clearly see this was merely a facade.

He couldn’t precisely measure the depth of Magic Power being concealed, but it clearly reached higher realms.

However, this wasn’t what concerned Glios most.

He’s trying to Create new Magic...

Glios could roughly deduce Leon’s objective.

And Multi-Attribute Magic at that...

Glios didn’t consider this goal presumptuous.Its feasibility, he had witnessed firsthand.

Has his level of understanding already reached such heights?

Especially during that moment when Glios temporarily allowed him to experience true Harmony through his Magic Power.Leon had gained insight from that brief experience.And it wasn’t mere sensation, but genuine comprehension and internalization.

He maintained the fusion even after I withdrew my influence.

With just a single moment of experience.

Could this be possible at fifteen?Glios questioned himself.

He too had been recognized as talented from childhood.Though he hadn’t achieved Transcendence or surpassed his master’s threshold, there was a time when his potential seemed boundless.

And Calderic possessed even greater talent than himself.Not merely because he was a late-life son, but objectively, his abilities truly shone.

But could Calderic have achieved this at fifteen?

I should discuss this with Arpina.

Was Leon simply concealing his abilities, or was he masking that Magic Power for greater purposes?

What were this child’s true intentions?

Would they harm the School?Or would they become its crowning achievement?
