Looking at the notifications of being a Tier 2 Sword Saint, Zephyr became interested in the Sword Aura. Zephyr also knew that this isn't exclusive to the Sword Saint as the Sword Aura was available for all Tier 2 Swordsman.
'Aura', a complete different system compared to mana and was only unique to Tier 2 entities. Unlike mana which enabled users to channel elements, aura was a force that was hidden within the body. A type of energy that can be controlled. Aura is infinite and always present.
Zephyr also knew that as a Sword Saint, his Sword Aura was naturally on a different level compared to a normal Tier 2 swordsman. Zephyr then directed his attention to the notification of being a Tier 2 Legendary Archmage.
[Choose an element.]
Zephyr wondered why he didn't receive a notification earlier like the ones he received when he reached Tier 1. Seeing the notification, Zephyr now knew that he had to choose which element he would unlock next.
He then looked at the choices of elements.
[Main: Wind-Earth-Water.]
As he had already had the fire and lightning element, all that remained was the other three. As he was about to look at the details of each element, another system prompt appeared in front of him.
[Advance Element:
* Time-Space-Light-Darkness
Condition to pick an Advance Element:
* Choosing an advance element will lock one random selected element from the Main Elements.
* Cannot awaken a new element until reaching Tier 5.]
'Oh.'
Zephyr mumbled after looking at it.
'Hmm. If I choose an advance element, I would lock either the fire or lightning element and won't gonna be able to acquire a new element until reaching the demi-god realm or until I attained transcendence.'
Zephyr contemplated because if he choose any of the advance element, it was as if basically loosing the essence of being the Legendary Archmage. If he won't be able to unlock new elements by the time he reached Tier 3 and Tier 4, it was as like the class was being reduced to a normal mage class as it lost the capabilities to cast spells from other elements.
Zephyr then putted into a factor that he isn't just a Legendary Archmage. He was the Sword Saint. It really won't be a loss to him if he choose an advance element that would be compatible with the swordsmanship of the Sword Saint.
After a while, Zephyr decided to select an advance element as for him, it would be more beneficial. He also thought that he should not overload himself with too many skills as he knows that he won't be able to use it all in great effectiveness.
Zephyr then glanced at the choices in the advance elements. After contemplating for a while, Zephyr choose what interested him the most because he already knows what the other elements could do but he is not very interested in it.
"I choose Time Element."
[Are you sure?]
"Yes."
Zephyr choose time because as far as he knew, someone who had the capability to control time was much harder to find than someone who had the power to control the space, light or darkness.
[Congratulations on becoming a Tier 2 Legendary Archmage.]

Zephyr muttered with eyes that held no emotion. He then inspected the newly acquired skills from his lightning element.

It would be a lie if Zephyr wasn't impressed now that he had the ability to control time even in exchange of being incapable of casting many elemental spells.
He then also inspected the title he obtained aside from the Master Swordsman title.
[Magister]
[Given to those who had reached the mastery of magic.

With an expressionless face, Zephyr now decided to find the vessel for Hyrkan. However, before he could move, another notification appeared in front of him.
[The trait, 'Cold-Blooded Monarch' has been unlocked.]
Seeing the notification, Zephyr was then reminded of what Agur had said. Everyone on Tensura would awaken their traits by the time they reached Tier 2.
In case of a player, it was stated that the system would give a player a trait after being observed by the system since the said player was still a level 1 until reaching Tier 2 and convert their character personality into character traits.
He then inspected the trait given to him with an indifferent manner.
[Cold-Blooded Monarch]
Rating: Legendary (Trait)
[Enable the user to erase all emotions and act as a supreme monarch that only calculates the best option regardless of the situation.
* Complete immunity to mind control and brainwash class curses.]
Zephyr felt nothing after seeing the trait he had. In fact, Zephyr agreed that this trait belonged to him as he was well aware of this. Seeing the effects of complete immunity to any mind control or attacks, Zephyr unequipped the Orias Earrings as it had no use for him.
Putting the earrings in his inventory, Zephyr then felt his body was disappearing as he was returning at the Class Advancement Center.
[Tensura's Server Announcement: Player Zephyr is the first player to reach Tier 2. He will be awarded one level increase in all skills. For the rest of the players, please continue to work hard.]
Seeing the announcement, billions of player froze and chaos resounded across the entire Tensura. All of them were shocked to the core as Zephyr had already become a Tier 2 player.
"Is this real?"
"Player Zephyr is already a Tier 2? I have just become a Tier 1 after barely passing the tier advancement quest!"
"Your lucky! I'm still Tier 0 though."
Players became frenzy after knowing that Zephyr had already reached the Tier 2. However, unlike before none had attempted to report Zephyr's achievement as they had accepted it even they were very envious and jealous.
The players thought that they won't going to be shocked by the next achievements of Zephyr however, it was to be noted that Tensura was only been released recently and it hasn't been a month since the opening.
Seeing Zephyr's unrivaled talent, the guilds who wanted to form a connection towards Zephyr gave more effort on finding his whereabouts. Knowing he just finished a tier advancement, all guilds rushed towards the Class Advancement Center only to find him.
After returning to the Class Advancement Center, Zephyr bade farewell to the smiling Swordsman Instructor who didn't doubt that Zephyr would make it. Turning around, what awaited Zephyr was a sight of thousands of players that surrounded him.
Zephyr paid it no attention as he didn't care. As he was about to leave, he heard the players murmured but he casually ignored it.
"Hey, isn't that the Guild Master of Red Lotus?"
"The Guild Master of Serpentine Lamia too!"
Two people tried to approach the carefree Zephyr. They were the Guild Masters of a first rate guilds. It was Adanella and Cyclone. Even they hated the guts of each, they did not bicker to avoid getting on Zephyr's negative side.
"Hello player Zephyr..."
"Hello player Zephyr..."
Both Guild Masters tried to speak to Zephyr but before they could finish, Adanella and Cyclone froze alongside with all players and everyone in the entire Class Advancement Center.
"What a bummer."
Zephyr muttered as he walked towards the exit as he ignored the frozen people around him. What Zephyr had done just now was froze the time before the countless numbers of players started to annoy him.
It was because the moment he saw the enormous crowd, Zephyr had already guessed that they were going to approach him. Zephyr could also see that Adanella and Cyclone weren't the only guildmasters that were going to approach him.
Zephyr then looked at MP he had as freezing the time of the entire Class Advancement Center took a lot of mana to him. Currently Zephyr was drained with 100,000 MP to freeze the time of the entire Class Advancement Center.
'So the larger the area I froze, the greater the mana consumption is.'
Zephyr murmured as the mana consumption should only be 3,000 MP but that was only if he froze the time within 3 meters around him and not as large as the current size of the entire Class Advancement Center.
However, for Zephyr who currently had an enormous amount of mana pool, it was not considered a problem to him. Zephyr then left the Class Advancement Center with Tetsuya who was lying on his head with a happy and blissful expression.
The moment Zephyr stepped out in the Class Advancement Center, time flowed normal again. Suddenly all players widened their eyes as Zephyr had disappeared to where he was standing.
"What happened?"
Cyclone muttered as he had no idea what just happened. His mind was in turmoil as he doesn't have a clue on how Zephyr disappeared in front of Zephyr as he doesn't sense anything from him.
Well it was natural as time freezes making their awareness towards Zephyr disappeared in the frozen time. Adanella shared the same thought with Cyclone.
"Not even the stealth of the Assassins can be undetected like this."
All players who heard her remark could not help but agree with her. It was common that when an assassin player entered stealth, only their presence would disappear but you could notice it when they entered stealth unlike Zephyr who had disappeared without any single player noticing.
Zephyr on the other hand, was walking around the White Tiger City without knowing the commotion he had caused throughout the player base.
"Now then, where should I start?"
Zephyr murmured as he now decided to start his journey on resurrecting the strongest dragon.
