Sam was in the back of the cab when he received a call and looked to see who is was who was calling him and saw it was Lilly before he answered it saying
"Lilly, what do you want I'm busy"
Lilly screamed into the phone as Sam took another look at his available spells in search of one he needed for whom he would meet at his destination
"Where are you? We have a test today to prepare us for the exams."
Sam smiled as he found the spell he was looking for and said before he hung up
"I gotta take care of some business for a few days so just tell the teacher I'll be back soon but I gotta go now"
Sam hung up the phone and saw he had reached his destination that seemed to be a very old warehouse with a sign saying 'Big AL's Training House' and got out of the cab after paying the driver before he knocked on the door but found no response before he kept repeatedly knocking till the door opened slightly and Sam heard a young woman say from behind the door
"Go away we've already paid for this month"
Sam sighed and stuck one of his hands in the door and said
"Christine I'm not a loan shark, I'm actually looking to be a customer for the next couple days"
Silence was heard before Sam saw Christine peeking threw the gap to see same and said
"You want to be a customer? Our services aren't your typical lunch money amounts"
Sam forced the door open wide enough to see Christine's face and said as he stuck part of his face through the door
"Moneys not an issue and as a bonus I'll help your brother"
Christine looked shocked not just at the fact Sam was easily over powering her from shutting the door but that this random man knew about her brother before she completely let go of the door and said as Sam stepped into the gym
"Who are you and what do you want?"
Sam handed Christine the money and said as he took off his shirt to do some stretches
"You won't believe me if I told you"
Christine stood off to the side and counted the money before she heard a loud bang and looked up to see a couple bench press plates on Sam's back as he did push ups at a fast pace
Sam could feel Christine's gaze on him and smiled as this would normally never happen if it weren't for the spell he was using called Sheer Will
[Spell:Sheer Will
(Consume Mana instead of draining stamina and health to push the body to the limits)
Sam knew of multiple spells that hunters often used for their training while using mana but with Sam's low amount of mana he couldn't use it for long as it would only last 15 seconds
Once the spell had ended Sam quickly became exhausted and shoved the weights off of his back before he got in a mediative pose and cleared his mind as another spell activated called Mana Syphoning
[Spell:Mana Syphoning
(Enter a mediative state of mind to increase Mana recovery until the state is broken)
Often mages had to use mana potion's or wait long periods of time before they mana was back to the maximum amount until Sam invented this new spell for all mages and magic swordsman's
Sam could feel Christine sitting right in front of him and said as his mana was recovering slowly
"You have a question for me?"
Christine asked as he was about to poke Sam
"What are you doing? You did all of those push ups and now your mediating? Are you a monk who's secretly a pro wrestler?"
Sam smiled a little before he concentrated on the recovery of his Mana and said
"No I'm just a normal guy but I think my training will be effective"
After all it wasn't Sam who made this training idea but Christine herself, in Sam's past life as they were old colleagues back then before Christine left to open her own business of training hunters hence why Sam knew so much about her and her brother
Christine sighed and got up to do her own stretches while Sam did some more push ups however mid way through Sam was already seeing the fruits of his labour as a message page appeared
[Strength and Dexterity has risen by 1]
Sam knew that every hunter trained their body and minds even if they didn't need to such as a mage doing some power fit exercises to increase their strength and stamina even though they would have no need for the strength stat but what Sam wanted to become was a magic swordsman that was a mix of a warrior and a magician however it was easier said then done as there was only one person who was able to become a magic swordsman in his past life who had risen above them all of those who doubted him and those who tried to control him but nonetheless Sam had faith in himself as he was armed with not just the past but also with all the spells and incantations he had discovered
However Christine kept watch over Sam and thought he was insane as he had already done his insane set of pushups 12 times in less then an hour and yet he didn't seem to slow down at all
Sam continued for hours on end until a new message page appeared
[Strength and Dexterity have been risen to the maximum for you current level]
Now these was still the one barrier he could not overcome as he couldn't level up and gain higher stats since the monsters had yet to come to earth
Sam quickly checked his stats and smiled as he saw an amazing improvement over the course of one hour

Sam decided to rest for a little and take another look for some hidden spells to help him when Christine came over holding a water bottle and said
"Your one crazy dude you know that"
Sam smiled and took a sip of the water bottle and said
"What you call crazy I call necessary but let's talk about your brothers illness"
Christine's expression immediately turned cold as she said
"You said you can help him? Even most of the doctors who tried to help him failed so what could you do to cure him?"
Sam placed a his water bottle in between him and Christine before he used a spell
[Spell:Lowest Telekinesis
(Can maybe lift light objects off the ground)
Sam used this form of telekinesis to make the water bottle flip and cause Christine to jump up and back up a few steps before she said
"What was that?! What did you do?!"
Sam made the water bottle float back to his hand and said after he chugged the remaining water
"That Christine was magic and not some fake illusion of the mind but actual magic so I guess you could say I'm a wizard"
Christine looked like she could feint any second before Sam reached his hands out to Christine and said
"If you want to see if I'm lying then hold my hands and I'll show you"
Christine slowly sat down and said before she grabbed his hands
"Even if this is just a trick I don't have much to lose so show me you are telling the truth"
Sam smiled and closed his eyes as he had begun chanting
"Commence the link of souls and let this without sight see the truth of the world!"
[Mana linking has begun. Current progress at 3%]
Soon a gust of wind violently blew throughout the gym and just as Christine was about to let go she heard Sam yell as he held his eyes shut firmly
"Don't let go! It's very difficult to create the link and I've never tried it before! So just hold on tight"
Christine felt a sudden warmth on her skin and yet it grew colder the more she loosened her grip before she realized she saw some feint streaks of mana and realized in that moment that everything Sam had said was true before she too tightened her grip until both Sam and Christine felt the wind disappear before they opened their eyes and saw streaks of mana in the air
Sam looked at Christine who was trying to grab the streaks of mana and laughed a little before a series of system messages appeared
[!!!You have helped someone awaken the mage class and have gained Wisdom Stat points!!!]
[Wisdom has reached above maximum for your current level]

Sam hastily opened his status and was surprised as this was something he didn't know was possible

[Disciple Slot:Empty]
[Disciple Slot:Empty]
A hunters stat points tell a hunter if they've reached the highest point before they must level up to unlock more potential but this was the first Sam had heard of that a hunter could surpass the limit however what had his interest the most was the Disciple system but just as he was about to take a closer look at the Disciple system he heard Christine said in a confused manner
"Where am i? Wait this is my dads old gym? But didn't I sell this years ago? Hey why am I Level 1 again? Oh well, least I kept my spells and incantations but most of them are sealed for some reason"
Sam looked at Christine as he was stunned before Christine noticed Sam before an awkward silence was found before Sam said
"Christine? Is it really you? Do you remember me?"
Christine took a closer look at Sam's face before she smiled and pulled Sam in for a hug saying
"Sam! My god how many years has it been. It's good to see you. How's Lilly? She still playing your secretary?"
Sam hugged her tightly and said with joy
"It really is you! We have a lot to talk about! But first you might want to check your phone and see the date before we begin"
Christine looked slightly confused before she looked around the gym and said
"Why? And didn't I sell this old place years ago? It still has the same old gear my dad left for me…. Wait don't tell me!?"
Christine quickly searched her pockets for her phone before she checked the date and turned to Sam and asked
"Is this a dream?"
Sam used telekinesis to fling the water bottle at Christine's head and said as Christine slashed it in two with her hand that was on fire
"You really think this is a dream now?"
Christine picked up a piece of paper and focused on it before it burned to ash in seconds and turned to Sam saying
"How is any of this possible? And I thought you couldn't use mana? So how did you use a telekinesis spell?"
Sam sat down and told Christine of his death and being pulled out of the river of the dammed and everything else and waited for Christine's response till she said while her hands kept being engulfed by fire and disappeared in seconds
"Seems you got the mega jackpot but I don't see how I would gain memories from my past? Or is it my future? This is so confusing and what about Lilly? You tell her anything?"
Sam shook his head and said as he stood up and stretched
"No I didn't tell her and you won't either so now that you are here for some reason we need to train as we have 8 months before the emergence comes"
Christine stood up and set up some sand bags and said with a smile
"I'm sure we'll be ready as we have the best magical researcher and the best trainer together"
Sam let Christine practice her spells and incantations while he opened his status and clicked on the information of the Disciple system
[Disciple System Lv.1]
[Current Disciples(0/2)]
[Disciple Slot:Empty]
[Disciple Slot:Empty]
[*Can recruit mages as Disciples and teach them any spell or Incantations you wish but first you must know the desired spell or incantation*]
[*Gain 20% of Disciples gained Exp*]
[*Share a portion of your disciples Stat points*]
Sam looked at Christine as she was struggling to use her skills that were sealed and said as he tapped on her shoulder
"I think I might have a solution that helps us both"
Christine wondered what Sam was talking about before she had a system message appear in front of her
[The Sovereign of magic wishes to accept you as a Disciple where he promises to teach you many things of magic do you accept?(Y/N)]
Christine didn't hesitate to click yes before she felt his body become lighter than before but as well as her spells and incantations till Sam said with a smile
"Now I can fully teach you spells that you would've been hard to learn so continue practicing while I pick out a few things to help"
Christine smiled and continued trying her spells and incantations while Sam looked over his list of available spells and picked out the ones used for training such as Mana Syphoning or Sheer will but as well as Target lock and Flame Slingshot seeing as Christine has an outstanding affinity for fire types spells and incantations but once Sam had selected the few he called Christine over and placed both of his hands on the side of Christine's head and said before he begun the teaching method explained by the system
"Try your best to remain calm as possible"
In seconds Christine felt the knowledge of the spells flow into her mind as clear as day as Sam was receiving messages at the same time
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Target Lock
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Flame Slingshot
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Mana Syphoning
[Under your teachings your Disciple Christine has learned [Spell:Sheer Will
Sam let go of Christine and wobbled for a second as the mental strain was much stronger than expected before Sam heard Christine say while she seemed to be looking at her newly learned skills
"Hey what's the deal giving me target Lock? I know how to aim my spells. And why do I need to learn sheer will? I'm a pyromancer"
Sam sat down and said
"Monsters haven't come to earth yet so we need to raise our stats to the maximum and when they do come you'll need target lock for the enemies we're going to hunt in particular so over the next 8 months we'll raise our proficiency with our current spells"
Christine nodded and said as she checked the time
"We'll let's do that tomorrow seeing as its late. You can sleep on the couch upstairs if it's still there"
Sam looked at Christine and said as soon as Christine had reached the steps
"You know what is going to happen to him but unlike last time we can help him, together"
Christine gave a glance at Sam and said before she continued up the stairs
"Not at the moment but yes we can change things. Make sure to rest seeing we have some training to do tomorrow"
Sam looked over his able spells and incantations for the one to help with his agility for tomorrow but after so long he decided to head to bed on the couch upstairs
