And after Lance found a village he could drop off the bandits in he hurriedly went back to their camp and when he did he saw a Molten golem and instinctively thought that it was an enemy and immediately rushed towards it and destroyed its core and when Ray came back with 2 boars on his hand he was shocked at what Lance did to his 10 million won puppet.
"LANCE!!!" Ray shouted with an extremely angered tone.
"Why? Why did you have to destroy such an expensive puppet!!" Ray shouted at Lance as he walked towards the destroyed golem.
"Wait, Master Ray don't tell me that this was yours?"
"Yes! It was mine!" Ray shouted as he held back his tears for losing basically the most priceless thing he had ever gotten in both his past life and current life.
"I'm sincerely sorry!" Lance shouted realizing his mistake.
"It's ok at least you had the resolve to immediately kill something that you thought was an enemy."
"I'm honored to be praised by you."
'Seriously why does everyone this world change their mood or personality so fast??'
"I said it's fine anyway i can probably try to fix the core." Ray reassured Lance as he levitated the broken blue pieces for the golem core.
"What is master Ray doing?" the workers were gossiping as Ray slowly formed a new golem core.
"It actually worked!" Ray said as he got the core and made a new golem.
"Lance, don't destroy it this time please although it seemed simple when i formed the core it took a lot of my mana, and i need to rest for now." Ray said as he fell down on the ground.
"He actually passed out, well he did make a golem core even though he just repaired it, it was still a great feat for a 3rd circle mage." Lance said as he carried Ray back inside the carriage.
"Oh right master Ray brought 2 boars right? Did he go hunting?" Lance asked himself after he carried ray back to the carriage and got both the dead boars and cooked them.
'It's quite surprising that the damage on the boars weren't that bad, master Ray's control over magic is already top tier.' Lance said as he used his fire element to light up a fire to cook the boars and he invited the workers to eat with him as well.
Although Lance's main element is moon he can still use other elements excluding the rare elements that only certain people can use.
"Is Young master Ray fine?" One of the workers asked.
"Yes, he's just a bit tired." Lance answered meanwhile back to Ray.
"Oh? I entered my soul realm? I guess i should just train for now since i don't have anything else to do." ray said as he summoned multiple clones of Lance and fought them all at the same time but this time there were more clones than before.
'It's weird, I'm not being overwhelmed by them.' Ray thought as he effortlessly pushed them back.
'Is it possible for me to make another origin magic?' Ray thought as he stopped fighting the clones.
"But even though I did it before that one Creation took a lot of my mana."
'Well since I can already beat Lance I guess it's time for me to gather mana.' Ray then sat down and got into a lotus position and started to gather the mana around him and absorb it.
"There's no mana in the soul realm but in the real world I'm gathering mana right now."
'But I don't get the point of going into a lotus position to gather mana, they said that if you move while gathering mana you're body won't be able to take it and explode.'
"But I feel like I could do it." Ray then focused even more so that the mana that was gathering inside him wouldn't leak out and that he won't accidentally overflow his body with mana as he slowly stood up from the lotus postion.
'The effectiveness of me gathering mana right now is less than 50% since I'm technically in the soul realm.' Then when Ray woke up all the workers were now asleep except for lance as he was guarding them.
Then Ray sneaked out into the forest to train his new meditation method.
'Now let's try this I just need to focus more than before.' Ray then started to gather the mana around him and slowly moved as he still hasn't gotten used to it.
'This is much harder than I thought, preventing the mana from leaving my body as I walk and preventing more mana from overflowing my body at the same time is a nightmare.' While Ray was training his new mana gathering method he noticed multiple animals gathered around him as if they were mesmerized at the sight.
'Why are these guys here? And I think I've finally gotten used to it let's try to use a 1st circle spell while doing this.'
"Flashbang!" Then as Ray used his spell a ray of light appeared out of nowhere blinding all the animals surrounding him and Ray successfully used a spell while gathering mana at the same time.
"I guess I'll call this, Mana Movement." Ray said as he was breathing heavily from the amount of energy he used to make the gathering method.
"I should go back to the carriage now it's dangerous for me to be here and I don't have the energy to fight." Then as Ray was walking back to the carriage several wolves jumped out of nowhere and stopped him.
"Are you guys serious? You think I can't just kill you, and even though I don't even have half my energy I can still kill you guys." The wolves then jumped towards Jaehyun as he burned them instantly using the sun element.
"There's actually one more thing I don't get isn't the sun Element just flame but like 1000x stronger? Is there something special to it that I don't know yet?"
"There's no need for me to know that yet I just need to get back to the carriage, quickly."
'I think I can keep gathering mana while moving in this pace.'
And after a while of getting ambushed by beasts and low ranked monsters Ray finally made it back to the carriage as he swiftly got in and went back to sleep without Lance even noticing the whole time.
"Master, Ray Wake up! It's time to depart." Ray heard someone calling him as he woke up.
"What?"
"We're now heading towards the city of magic, Versuan City." Lance said as he looked at Ray with a bright smile.
*sigh*
'Why did he have to wake me up just to say that.' Ray then looked at his stats.
Name: Ray Grandfell
Age: 15
Level: 6
Rank: D+
Blessing: Immortality, Endless mana, Genius Mage, Genius knight, Heavenly Body
'I didn't notice it before but Genius knight? Does that mean I can become both a knight and a mage?' Ray then recalled all the moments he had when he was still using daggers in his past life.
'This will be fun.'
"Master Ray, I feel something different from you, did your mana grow?"
Even though Ray has endless.mana most of it has been sealed by multiple grandmages when he was young that's why he needed to gather mana and to make another circle the mage has to fill their current circles with mana from their surroundings not mana that's already within them.
"Yes I did, I think I'm close to the 4th circle now." Ray said nonchalantly as Lance looked at him with shocked eyes.
'He's close to 4th circle? How can he say that so nonchalantly most mages don't even reach the 4th circle even until the end of their lives.'
"Lance Let's make a bet, what time do you think we'll reach Versuan City?"
"I'll guess around Tomorrow at sunrise."
"Then my guess would be today at sunset."
"What does the winner get?" Lance asked.
"The loser has to obey the winner for 1 whole day."
"And if you want it to be fair, I'll do the Mage's promise."
'This...is a dream come true I'll be able to let master Ray do anything i want?'
"S-sure." Ray then chanted as to what seemed like an unknown language and a bright blue light radiated from him.
"There it's done, if i break my promise my Mana will be locked away for 2 days."
"Then let us start the bet."
Then after some time of travelling the group reached Versuan City at sunset.
"H-how?! It should've been impossible to reach Versuan city this fast!" Lance asked Ray as he was confused at the bet's outcome.
"I didn't say anything about using magic did I?" Ray answered while Lance looked at him with dead eyes as if he just lost his entire family.
"W-what do i need to do Master Ray?"
"Oh nothing great you just need to spar with me until tomorrow." Ray said as they got out of the carriage into the Versuan city which looked like it had an endless amount of streets and millions of people in it and there was also quite a lot of mages and aspiring mages as the city was overflowing with mana just as Ray thought.
"Master Ray there should also be some students from the Fraux academy here and maybe even some people likke you who are here to attend the academy." But as Ray was and Lance was walking through one of the streets in the city Ray caught a glimpse of a mysterious man lurking in the shadows as if he was spying on someone.
'*sigh* It's better not to get involved in things like that.'
"Hey!! Ray!" Someone called out to Ray out of the thousands of people in the city and as Ray looked to his left he saw his only friend in this world Cray Rodwell the first son of the Azure Duke, Ben Rodwell a man known to be one of the best Water element mages in the entire empire.
LIttle Note: Ray's grandfather is a duke but so is his father as well.
