(From MC’s POV)
Wilderness
The silver storage bracelet has no restrictions because of Jake House’s death. I put my mind into the storage bracelet. There were several items inside the storage bracelet, as expected of someone from an influential background.
Next, I continue to scan the item. Then I saw protection artifacts. This guy? “I knew he had artifacts,” I muttered. Looking at these things, none of the items were lower than level-3 wizard items.
Fortunately, I didn’t even give him a chance to use this. Otherwise, the fight would have turned ugly. Upon realising that, I sighed in relief. Then I almost forgot about the important things.
Super relic?
Finally, at the last corner of the space, I saw a huge solid rock. A familiar voice sounded in my head just as I saw it.
[“Ding! The host has found the super relic successfully.]
[“Ding! 5-elemental gem-consumable item”]
Hearing that familiar notification, I sighed in relief. Next, look at the rock. I immediately took it out of the storage bracelet and placed it in front of me.
Unlike the meteorite, the solid rock is completely different. It has a green texture all over it. Then, without wasting any time further, I placed my palm on it. I gave the command to the system to consume it. Then I notice warm energy flowing through my palms.
The energy gradually made its way inside. Time went on, as I continued to observe the energies. I feel the body is undergoing some earth-shaking changes.
I don’t know how to point it out. But I feel I’m a little bit closer to mana. This feeling of cells being constantly brimming with energy is amazing. Then I put my mind on the remaining part of the super relic.
Time Progresses…
10 minutes later,
I successfully observed the energies of the super relic. Now there is nothing left but ashes.
The host’s talent increased further.
Hearing that sound, I gave the command to the system. I uttered, “System, show my status panel.”

Looking at the status panel, I almost forgot to breathe. When the status panel was opened, my eyes immediately fixed on the talent section. Seeing that instead of pale green now, the talent information has changed to pale orange.
My middle bottom talent has changed into top bottom. My whole qualification has risen by a grade. This super relic is a really wonderful thing.
For a whole moment, I didn’t know how to react. I didn’t even look at other attributes in the status panel. The talent section alone turned my world upside down.
My mind went crazy thinking about future possibilities. Top-bottom talent, what does it mean? I’m not your average Joe anymore. I can take my gravity magic to another level.
Thinking about the talent, I believe I’m the first in the class. A new wave of ecstasy filled my heart. I believe, with this talent, my life at Yellow River Academy is almost settled.
I don’t need to worry about failing anyone. Even if I don’t meditate seriously, my average strength might not be lower than my previous middle bottom talent. There are so
many possibilities. I’m looking forward to the next combat school in school. I can do leapfrog fights. With my current talent, it will be a matter of time before I enter the top 10 ranks.
After gaining some confidence, I glanced at my status information from the start. magic level? I just need 1.5 years to get a breakthrough. Then I can become a level-2 wizard before graduating from school.
This information also caught me off guard. With my earlier talent, I needed 3 years to get a breakthrough with normal training. I did some calculations comparing time with previous talent.
Right now, with super relic, I skipped two levels of talents directly to step into an orange-grade talent.
From the calculation, it can be clearly seen. My breakthrough time was reduced by 6 months with each increase in talent. That is, if I can increase my current from top to bottom to top middle, my breakthrough time will be cut in half. Which leaves me with one year to get a breakthrough.
I felt goosebumps, realising this shocking discovery. What does it mean? I don’t need to think about Claudia Gym all the time. With normal practice, I can achieve great results.
This is a really wonderful thing. Then again, thinking about super relics. I revealed a bitter smile. It’s purely a co-incidence to encounter this 5-elemental gem super relic.
Added to that, Jake House didn’t know about the super relic at all. I recalled earlier that he talked about an unknown rock. He wanted to get the secret of the rock from me. Poor him, he died before knowing anything.
I can’t imagine what his reaction would be. If he knows this unknown rock is not any ordinary thing but a super relic, then he can improve his wizard aptitude.
Then again, if he had known, he wouldn’t have brought it to school. This thing is above the national treasure of the country. Next, I suddenly thought of something.
The horror of orange grade aptitude broke my world view. Then what about talents above orange grade? “Such talented wizards will get a breakthrough in months,” I muttered.
My breathing gets shorter upon realising this fact. This is almost a scary thing. I hope such wizards are not available in this world. If there is any wizard with such horryfing talent, he doesn’t need to follow his usual routine.
They don’t need to go to school, colleges, and some organisations. Such a wizard needs some years to practise in their family. They will eventually reach the top of the wizard world. And with them, their family became a super wizard family.
Even imagining such talents gives me chills. Damn, I hope there is no such scary existence in this world. They will destroy any means of competition.
Again, I thought of another possibility. Even if such people do exist, I believe they were assasinated before they had actually grown up.
This is also another side of the wizard world. No one wants such a scary existence to develop further and rule over them. It will break the balance of the world.
I almost had sweat dripping from my forehead. Not only that, I also need to hide my talent. Just my middle-class talent got me into an elite-level class in school.
If people knew I had some changes in my talent, There is no need to imagine what will happen. Like this purple liquid, it’s the product of a forbidden experiment. There is a huge possibility that I will become an experimental subject for someone.
I made a firm decision in my heart. I will stay even more low-key after this. I don’t have to feel insecure about my future anymore. Top-bottom talent can help to reach the peak of the wizard world by the next decade.
So there is no need to stand out hereafter. I can act normally in front of others. There is no need to think about a part-time job also. I can spend my school life leisurely. Then, with that, it looks like my killing and looting of treasures also comes to an end.
I won’t take another risk unless there is something important. After gaining some clarity, I looked at my other attributes.
Gravity Core? My gravity core formation rate also increased further because of orange talent. It’s increasing at a rate of 5.5% per month. Within the next 16 months, the core formation rate will touch 100%.
Looking at the rate, I realised my earlier calculation was right.
Then I glanced at the next 4+4 attributes. In particular, the top 4 physique attributes were all increased by 30 points. Earlier, my vitality points were at 45 points, but now they’ve risen to 75 points.
It will be a matter of time before vitality points touch 100, which is the limit of the physique attributes. It looks
like I can fight against Liam head on with my current attributes. Even if it’s not a win, the match may end up in a draw.
This is also a good thing for me. I don’t need to worry about those weasel calculations. Before, they couldn’t do anything to me. Now it’s even more difficult. So, I didn’t put Liam and his group in mind.
I just need to wary of those top talents. These peoples from influential background might know something. Which is more important for me to act low key as possible.
Retracting my thoughts, I glanced at my mana power.
