The mask was so nice to give him advice, yet he dared to claim that he did everything on his own
"fine, let's wait and see, once you fail at casting dark magic you will only have one choice, to ask for my help! once that happen, I'll teach you a good lesson to not make fun of me in the future!"
The mask was mumbling to herself, so Alpha didn't hear her, thus he kept going with his experiment on learning dark magic
if the light magic is just Mana emitting photons, then dark magic can be Mana sucking photons
Based on this idea, Alpha created another Mana ball, then tried making it suck all the light surrounding it
it was easier said than done, he couldn't even feel the light coming at it, so how can he suck it
He could only sit down wondering to himself, what he should do next. meanwhile the mask was being all so smug, looking at him struggling
she was waiting for him to ask her for advice so she could make fun of him, but instead, he created a light ball, she thought he made a mistake and used light instead of dark magic
but He did not! if he can't feel the light surrounding the Mana ball, then he can direct at it some light that he can feel
He grabbed the light ball with his hand and squeezed it from one side, he wanted to direct all the light emitted from it to one direction, towards the Mana ball
The light was just passing through the Mana as if it was transparent, and hit the floor
But now, Alpha can feel the light passing through the Mana, thus, he can suck it in!
All he had to do, was close his eyes and imagine that light being devoured, then imagine the surrounding lights being devoured as well
In the end he got two new skills
Active skill [light beam] : 10MP/min , direct all the light you create into one direction and illuminate a further distance
Active skill [dark hole] : 20MP , transform anything put into it to Mana
"Yes! I did it! told you I don't need your help" Alpha stood up from his place and started dancing! he was really excited for his new achievement! not because it was a great one or difficult to achieve, but because he can use it to tease the mask
after all, Alpha was a lot smarter than anyone his age, he could easily tell that the mask was waiting for him to fail
But, what he didn't expect, was that the mask was secretly hoping he would make it work on his own
Her Curiosity was only getting stronger , she didn't want anything more than to see how alpha will solve his problems
She was supposed to be alpha's guide, his teacher, but every time she got a chance to teach him something new, he ends up doing it in a complete different way than hers!
Alpha had a unique mindset, and can come up with the most bizarre ideas
His ideas weren't only something to feed the mask's curiosity, they were a fuel to it!
a fuel that doesn't just feed her curiosity, but also strengthen it and make it bigger and deeper!
every time she witnessed Alpha doing something new, she felt the deep urge inside of her to desperately want to witness more, growing stronger by the second
In fact, the new achievements didn't annoy her nor bother her, instead they surprised her and excited her even more
"Oh my God! you really did it! you've actually mastered all six basic elements! wait, you should have got a new title, no? Hurry up! what are you waiting for?! check it out!"
Alpha was thrown off guard, that reaction wasn't what he was expecting, he was completely confused and couldn't think straight,
As a result, he blindly followed the masks instructions and hastily checked his status screen, the new title he got was
[Great magistrate] : learn how to use all six basic elements , INT+50%
That one title alone pushed his intelligenc from 235 all the way to 291! that was an increase of 56 stats! the same amount of stats he would've gotten from leveling up 14 times!!!
For Alpha, the only thing the new title did for him, was help him regain more of his lost memories
But for the mask, it was a groundbreaking event!! "you've become a great Magistrate!? you've actually become a great Magistrate at the age of 15!! No! you've become a great Magistrate in just 3 days!!!! How in the world are you still a human at this point?"
Alpha was still unsurprised. after all, he have [the nameless] title, which Grant him the ability to gain new titles extremely fast
Or so he thought, but [the nameless] doesn't affect the magician titles, The mask knew that, but Alpha didn't.
