Chapter 13 - Masteries

He was thrown on his bed and he had no care about that as he got a useful piece of information . No matter what he does , scout will not give him tips about anything , just simple information . Thus , anything he receives from someone experienced is extremely useful .

' Status . ' He thought as he felt cold sweat on his back . ' Pain . Pain . Pain . Again . '

The world was shook again by the performance that Sam showed in the colloseum .

They were told that he can use 13 types of magic , but he only shows 2 types against the flame tigers .

There were many genius magic users on the planet currently , but most were between level 5 - 7 . The strongest magic user currently was level 9 with 3 attributes by the way .

The other one with the highest attributes was a middle aged man with 7 attributes . He apparently got a skill called archmage which made him proficient at Fire , water , earth , wind , ice , lightning and space elements .

What shocked them more was his casual attitude about killing creatures . He froze them all as if he wasn't killing actual creatures but mere paper cutouts .

If he was let to live longer , he could prove to be a danger to the peace of the world . The USA however made a silent declaration .

" The person named Sam Rus... (It say here don't say my full name .. Yes ... Yes .. ) ... So as I was saying , the person named Sam is a citizen of our country till he leaves the planet . As per our sources he hasn't left his house much since he got his powers . 3 times to be exact . The first time he simply returned back home . The second he went to the jungle , killed two wolves , got the pocket dimension and returned . The third was just clothes shopping which he paid for with his own money , by the way . " The person speaking stopped and drank a full cup of water . " We have 24/7 supervision on Sam and if he does anything to disrupt peace , we will be the first to knock on his door . "

Although this silent declaration stunned the world they came to know about the competence of the government of the USA , who had everyone who awakened under full surveillance .

After finally settling his attributes which took about 4 hours , Sam was sitting on his table eating the flame tigers , which were literally out of this world , both in taste and origin .

" Meditating works he said . " He muttered as he finished his meal and washed his plate .

' Scout . Show me my masteries , if you will . '

[ ... Do I have a choice ? ]

' Don't talk back ... '

Most of these were easy for him to understand . He had experienced the effects of them all by himself when he used the cards . He understood that these were the spells he used with the cards .

' Say , aren't 11 magic enough that I need to have 110 at tier 10 ? ' He asked scout in his mind .

[ Each magic is just like a skill , except instead of the experience required multiplying , the energy required will multiply . Most magicians awaken to Magic power , so we will use that as a standard . ]

[ Level 1 magics require 10 magic energy , level 2 require 100 and so on .]

[ A level 1 magic , when used by a peak tier 1 magician will be the almost the same as a level 2 magic when used by a beginner tier 1 magician . ]

' So what you are saying is the power basically multiplies with each level of mastery ? ' Sam asked .

[ Basically , yes . As it requires roughly 10 times more magic energy , a level 2 spell will have at least 10 , if not 15 times the effect as compared to a level 1 spell , in the right hands , of course . ]

' I won't ask about the right hands . This much knowledge is enough for now . Now tell me , how do I increase my mastery ? '

[ Calculating ... ]

[ Safest and easiest path ... ]

[ As all your masteries are linked , it will be the best to practice darkness magic , which requires meditation in a dark room . ]

[ 2nd option will be to either meditate in blinding light or underwater . ]

' ... ' Sam was dumbstruck by the 2nd safest option . He was scared , but still asked ' What is the most dangerous option ? '

[ Meditate in open space . ]

Sam shut up and simply switched of all lights and turned the blinds to make the room as dark as it can be and started meditating .

His mind slowly entered an extremely calm state and he only woke up 6 days later due to the hunger felt after a long time .
