Chapter 13 Kanzax Academy and the Magic System
A moment later, footsteps were heard again approaching Kain's camp.
The person who came was Myra, this time she came alone.
"Thanks for not reporting me."
"So that caravan is yours?"
"You could say that."
"Then can't you just sit at home and count money? Why do you have to do all this?"
Kain asked, a little confused, the knife in his hand cut through the grilled meat, revealing a piece of juicy meat.
Even without salt, the taste of the fresh grilled meat is not too bad.
Kain cut off a piece and gave it to Myra. She didn't hesitate to put it in her mouth and chew. Then Myra told her story.
It turned out that she was the second daughter of the mayor of Whesling City. Myra's father was also a noble. With such status, she could live comfortably all her life.
But Myra did not want that. With her innate talent for magic, Myra deliberately hid her identity to join the Adventure Guild to train her magic skills and combat abilities.
Myra's goal is to study at the Kanzax Magic Academy, a gathering place for all the young mages and magical geniuses in the Kanzax province.
If you want to enroll in Kanzax Magic Academy, you need to meet two conditions, the first condition is that the person must be under 18 years old, the second condition is that the person must be a low-class Magus.
Low-class Magus was a concept that Kain was still unfamiliar with, so Myra explained it to him.
A low-class Magus is a Magician who can master at least one low-class magic skill. If converted according to the system table, a low-class Magus is equivalent to [ ★ ].
So the above two ranks are mid-class Magus will be equivalent to [ ★★ ], high-class Magus will be equivalent to [ ★★★ ].
When Kain asked if there was a rank higher than High Mage, Myra just shook her head, she didn't know, but her father had said that perhaps Commander Kanzax was someone with that rank.
Returning to Myra's story, Kain couldn't help but feel surprised.
"You have two different types of magic? Is there anything special?"
"Wait… wait, don't you know what these two magics represent?"
"Yeah."
"This…"
"I grew up in a small village, people didn't even know what Magus looked like."
"..."
Myra sighed, putting her hand on her forehead, no wonder this young man, although smart and clever, lacked some basic knowledge.
As Myra explained, having two types of magic means you have two different types of magic systems. As for the two magic skills like [Thunder Bullet] and [Thunder Summon], they can only be considered branches of one magic system.
Magic is like talent, some people are good with swords, some people are good with bows, some people are good with spears, but those who are good with two weapons at the same time are much rarer, those who are good with all three weapons are much rarer. even rarer.
Magic can be achieved through natural awakening, which is natural talent and aptitude. Magic can also be achieved through study and practice, which is training.
But just like a good swordsman who switches to archery may not be good, Magus rarely learns magic that is not within his "talent" range. This not only takes more time, takes more time, but may not achieve the expected results.
However, Kain did not think so.
As long as he has enough skill points, no matter how many magical skills he has, he can still level up. Talent or lack of talent is not important to Kain.
So Kain immediately took an interest in Kanzax Magic Academy.
"Tell me, can I join Kanzax Magic Academy?"
Kain asked Myra expectantly.
"How old are you?"
"15."
"..."
Myra slapped her forehead again. The young man, only two years younger than her, was as proficient in magic as she was, if not better, and even had combat abilities far surpassing hers.
"If you don't mind, you can come to Whesling to find me in a month, I can take you to the Kanzax Magic Academy entrance exam."
"Anyone who wants to enter the Kanzax Magic Academy must pass this test."
"Thank you."
"It's okay, you saved me after all." Myra smiled.
In fact, she decided to help Kain not only because he saved her life. But she also wanted a potential ally in the future.
Kain's eyes also flashed, perhaps he knew Myra's intentions, but this was a mutually beneficial relationship.
Moreover, Myra's personality wasn't bad either, helping each other was fine.
The two shook hands.
…
The next morning, Kain woke up from his sleep. The caravan along with Myra's group also left, Kain also prepared to return to the Dungeon.
Going deeper inside, Kain saw a skeleton walking slowly.
"It's been three days, it seems like the Dungeon is replenishing the number of monsters I killed before."
Kain thought to himself, perhaps he had also rushed towards the monster.
Just one skeleton wouldn't be difficult at all, Kain would quickly gain an additional skill point.
[Thunder Bullet level 5] 5/ 6
Coming to the end of the cave, Kain decided to turn right. There were still some groups of monsters that he had not defeated yesterday, so he wanted to take this opportunity to increase his strength to the maximum before fighting the monsters guarding the dungeon of this floor.
A total of 33 Zombies, more than 60 Slimes, and 3 Reapers had been killed by him. This gave him a total of 10 skill points.
[Level]: 11
[Ability]:
-[Thunder Magic ★]:
+[Thunder Bullet Level 5] 5/6 (+)
+[Thunder Summon Level 2] 0/4 (+)
+[Thunder Navigation Level 1] 0/4 (+)
-[Enhancement Magic ★]:
+[Enhancement Body Level 1] 0/7 (+) +[Enhancement Tool Level 1] 0/12 (+)
According to his calculations, Kain thought that he should have about 14 or 15 skill points.
But it seemed that the higher the [Level], the more it required, resulting in a situation where even though the skill points had the same practical value, the difficulty of collecting skill points at [Level]: 1 and [Level]: 10 was different.
So the way to maximize that benefit was to use the skill points as soon as you reached [Level]: 1.
It seemed that nothing was 100% perfect. But Kain wasn't too disappointed.
The important thing now was to defeat that monster first.
Kain decided to upgrade [Thunder Bullet] to level 6 without hesitation, but he was hesitating between three options.
The first option was to continue upgrading [Thunder Bullet] to level 7. The second option was to upgrade [Enhancement Body] to level 2. The last option was to upgrade [Thunder Navigation].
Both options one and two cost 7 skill points, both of which could increase Kain's combat power.
The last option was included because the higher the level of [Thunder Bullet], the more difficult it was for Kain to control this magical skill.
So [Thunder Navigation] had to be upgraded. Using a weapon that you can't control is like cutting off an arm.
