"Iz, what do you think is the most important type of magic?"
"Mmm... that’s a very good question. What do you think?"
"I’d say... Arcane magic?"
"Arcane, huh. It certainly is an incredibly profound field of magic. The calculation and construction of many spells rely heavily on Arcane principles."
"But... it isn’t the most important."
"There are way too many types of magic. Iz, just tell directly."
Izparut placed a hand against his chin in thought.
"Mmm... personally, I think the most important branch is Elental Magic."
"Elental?"
"That’s right. Spatial magic, temporal magic, ntal magic, summoning, creation, projection—even Arcane magic itself, which many consider the very foundation of all magic..."
"None of them are as important as the elents."
"Are they really that important?"
A fla appeared in Kanzaki Rei’s palm, illuminating the snowy night of Knorlea.
"Elental magic is simply... powerful destructive force, along with the corresponding elental properties. The most basic form of magic."
"So why is it the most important?"
Elental magic truly was the most fundantal form of magic.
Every mage began learning elental spells from Level 1 onward. Whether attacking or defending, elental magic was always involved.
It was too fundantal.
Far less complex than spatial or temporal magic.
Far less unpredictable than ntal magic.
Izparut reached out and touched the fla in Kanzaki Rei’s hand.
The fire instantly solidified.
"It is precisely because it is fundantal... that it forms the basis of everything."
"You can afford to slack off in your study of Arcane magic. So Arcane techniques and tools may never even affect your magical path if left unused."
"But the elents..."
"No matter what stage of magehood you reach, you can never abandon the pursuit of mastery over them."
"Elents are the root of all magic."
Whoosh!
Light and darkness exploded outward around Kanzaki Rei!
Yet as he looked at his disciple, Kanzaki Rei’s understanding of magic deepened even further.
Back then, all he knew was that advancing from a Level 1 Mage to a Level 2 Mage required a series of rituals.
Certain things had to be proven.
But he never understood why those things needed to be proven.
Now, revisiting everything from the beginning...
The mountains were no longer mountains.
The waters were no longer waters.
The advancent from Level 1 to Level 2 was fundantally about demonstrating one’s magical foundation. What Origin observed... was a mage’s mastery over the basics.
As long as that aspect could be properly displayed—
It didn’t necessarily have to involve casting elental magic.
It was simply that most advancent ceremonies had already standardized this into the default process for mage ascension.
But in reality, perhaps there were better ways to demonstrate that mastery.
Rather than rigidly following a fixed advancent formula and showcasing eight predetermined spells—
That thod might actually suppress the talents of certain individuals.
The dust settled.
Although Kanzaki Rei had served as Sueharu’s target throughout the entire process, he remained completely unhard.
"Alright."
"There’s only one final step left."
"Show it to ."
Sueharu nodded lightly.
A bone gradually materialized in his hand.
It belonged to a Second-Tier Lord-class monster.
Just a few days earlier, Kanzaki Rei had taken Sueharu into a dungeon.
Throughout the entire expedition, Kanzaki Rei never intervened once.
He rely supervised from the sidelines as Sueharu completed the dungeon conquest himself.
That had been Sueharu’s first true battle.
The monsters themselves weren’t particularly strong. Kanzaki Rei hadn’t enhanced them in any way.
Still, toward the very end, Sueharu had experienced a small but genuine brush with death.
A giant serpent had nearly bitten off his arm.
Fortunately, Sueharu’s magic had been just slightly faster, killing the creature first.
A Level 1 Mage solo-clearing a Second-Tier dungeon and slaying a Second-Tier Lord—
That was an undeniably glorious achievent.
Soft light swirled around him.
Glorious achievents.
A solid magical foundation.
Everything had already proven that he possessed more than enough qualifications to beco a Level 2 Mage.
Not just any Level 2 Mage—
But an exceptionally outstanding one.
Sueharu achieved a Perfect Advancent.
The joy on his face surfaced naturally, and even Kanzaki Rei found himself slightly affected by the emotion.
"Master!"
"I feel like my thoughts have beco so much clearer!"
"Mhm. That’s the sensation of your spirituality improving. Recall the things I taught you. Feel your own spirituality."
Sueharu nodded vigorously.
"Yeah!"
"When you beco a Level 3 Mage, you’ll gain Perception. At that point, you’ll discover an entirely different world."
"The world perceived through awareness is completely different from the world seen through the eyes."
As Kanzaki Rei described the future awaiting him, Sueharu seed to glimpse it as well.
It was as though he truly saw the day he would beco a high-ranking mage.
His heart surged with longing.
The future itself felt intoxicating.
"Master..."
"Tell ... if I really beco very strong soday..."
"Would I have a chance..."
"A chance to bring them back to life?"
Sueharu’s voice gradually weakened, yet his eyes remained filled with desperate hope as he looked at Kanzaki Rei.
That question...
Back then, Kanzaki Rei had once wondered the sa thing himself.
As one gradually experienced the growth of overwhelming power, ambition naturally expanded alongside it.
You began feeling as though anything could be accomplished.
Anything could be realized.
He had once dread that after becoming strong enough, he could return to Earth.
Dread of becoming the strongest existence in the world.
Seeing Kanzaki Rei remain silent, Sueharu spoke softly again.
"I heard... that the legendary Moonstar, Sosophia, possesses the power to resurrect the dead."
"If..."
"I an, hypothetically... if one day I beca as powerful as Moonstar... could I really do those things?"
Kanzaki Rei parted his lips slightly.
Moonstar truly was terrifyingly powerful.
Only after eting Yakadikt did Kanzaki Rei finally understand what level of existence Moonstar truly represented.
In the end, every disaster in this world...
Every pain.
Every conflict.
To the current Moonstar, all of it amounted to nothing more than childish commotion.
Back then, Ansu had dominated the mortal world entirely. The entire realm existed beneath the Ansu Dynasty, and several Level 9 Class-Changers served beneath him as subjects.
Such prosperity.
Such magnificent authority.
Yet even that empire had been utterly shattered to pieces by the descending White.
Kanzaki Rei did not explain just how powerful Moonstar truly was.
Instead, he smiled faintly and said,
"If you can beco Moonstar..."
"Then you should possess the power to change all of this."
Light reignited within Sueharu’s eyes.
"Then I’ll work toward becoming Moonstar!"
"Master, will you beco Moonstar too?"
Kanzaki Rei smiled.
"Yes."
"I will too."
"I will beco Moonstar."
The God-Tier Talent "My Wish" had already activated.
That desire had now beco Kanzaki Rei’s wish.
Which ant that, given enough ti, one day he would inevitably beco Moonstar.
No matter what form that took...
Even if the entire world itself beca twisted—
That wish would eventually co true.
And at the very mont that wish was made—
Kanzaki Rei’s naked eyes witnessed fate itself distort.
Countless threads of destiny converging toward him snapped apart one after another before reconnecting once more.
Among them was a single thin golden thread that shone with extraordinary brilliance.
Even though it was only a thread, Kanzaki Rei imdiately recognized its source.
It belonged to Yakadikt.
"I just hope I won’t have to fight her over it..."
Among all possible existences, the Moonstar that Kanzaki Rei feared most in relation to "My Wish" was Yakadikt herself.
He truly didn’t know—
Which was stronger?
Her miracle...
Or his wish?
