Vergil POV
Vergil sat in the bath reliving his fatigue thinking about the future, now his most immediate worry of his blockade has been resolved he can progress and can enter the Academy without revealing his space talent
and now he has also unearthed his original talent he called this 'magic swordsman'. Sometimes I myself can not believe I have this talent, now he can truly be said to be an all rounded players as I can do both close combat and long distance and I can provide support from faraway as well, with my space talent I can preserve my life in times of difficult situation, with this much talent it is no understatement that I could become leader of an era
'No No Vergil snap out of it' I thought as I slapped myself to wake me out of this stupor
Thinking rationally everyone in this world have a role to play if I was given this much power the future challenges that I will have to face will be enormous
"haa ... my peaceful life" I sighed helplessly thinking about the future
Keeping the future aside first thing first is to hide myself while becoming stronger, I know that I cant keep my talent hidden forever but i have to keep it hidden for as long as I can or reveal it at time which will benefit me or my family the most
'I also need to find an Aura Art but before that lets master the basics' I mused to myself
Thinking for a while until I felt I have bathed long enough I left the pool and went to change clothes with the help of the maids
I went to the dinning room with May had breakfast with my family and reported my progress, thankfully father has left out my awakening part
"Okay May lets go the library " I said to may after finishing my breakfast and bidding farewell to mother and father
Speaking of my awakening the stone has vanished it would seem it has merged with me.
'I remember it releasing a black gas that merged with my heart it was that gas that reforged my body, it also strengthened my internal organs. My calculation speed has also increased and my sensitivity to mana has also increased which was the most shocking' I contemplated
Even as of today after many eons of arcane research there is no known way to increase mana sensitivity as it directly corresponds to improving talent, another explanation could be that I have unlocked all of my talent that lead to increase in mana sensitivity
"It would seem we need to do mana training as well " I muttered
"did you say something young master" May inquired after hearing my muttering
"Nothing..... just thinking about the future" I said
"Master Vergil you have already returned to normal, so what are you worried about" May asked not knowing why Vergil was still tense
I stopped and looked May in the eyes
"May, this marks just the beginning. At this stage, I possess potential, not power. Without strength, I remain vulnerable. Yet, with this newfound qualification, I am only able to take my first step in this world" I said in a serious tone
Third POV
May looked at her young master the unusual seriousness of his tone startled her, looking at that gem like violet eyes filled with wisdom and intelligence that did not matched his age
May nodded to Vergil "okay young master" May said still not quite understanding Vergil
"okay don't think too much lets go we have much to do" Vergil said closing the topic
and May followed him as the made there way to library
Just like this a month has passed by in a blink of an eye. Vergil was extremely busy during this entire month in morning he would train his prana with Gareth in the morning, while in evening he would train his mana. He would keep on polishing his mana and prana, and this persistence paid off as his prana and mana both grew in quantity and quality and they are now in balance and finally came the day
one day in the evening after his studying he came to the ground and sat cross-legged in the middle closed his eyes and began to start his advancement. As he closed his eyes he began to use his mana to form his first magic circle in his life
To form ones magic circle despite proper knowledge one must have strong will as he needs to endure strong pain to form the circle, but for Vergil who has already endured severe pain before this is nothing he calmly without breaking sweat started engraving his magic circle. In order to make a perfect circle one must draw in a single go without any interference and more purer mana used the more the more stable it becomes.
Normally, people use mana stone for continuous influx of mana but he did not needed that as he already have more than enough mana, Vergil slowly and meticulously carved the circle on his heart without any break. Soon 1 hour passed and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead, finally as soon as the circle connected he felt a rush of mana from the surrounding and his heart began to beat more strongly the mana circle connected to his mana circuit and his pool, his mana pool which was half empty, began to grow and expand the new mana which was more purer than the previous began to flow in his body. Vergil taking advantage of this began to compress his mana, he learned from one of the book in library that by compressing the mana it becomes more dense. Soon, he opened his eyes and felt that his strength has increased significantly
As he tried to cast a spell
"Cast spell: Great Fireball" Vergil declared as a magic circle appeared in front of is hands and a ball of fire was projected from it towards his target
The target exploded on contact with the fireball
"Wow. I did not think it would be this powerful" Vergil marveled at his new found power
He did a few more tests, it would seem power of his basic spells increased and with the help of magic circle the casting was almost flawless and instantaneous. he cast another spell
"Cast spell: Lightning Strike" Vergil stated
again a power full lightning manifested from magic circle as it went almost 10 meters hitting another target and destroying it in the process
genuinely happy that he has advanced now he began preparing for his Aura, calming his excitement he began to mobilize the prana in is body and began to form an aura star around his heart. The process of forming a Star was relatively simple as it requires concentrated and compressed prana with inscription around it.
He directed all his prana towards his heart, this is where he has to be careful, he began to release his prana from the heart around the magic circle and began to condense in a diamond shaped , as he was doing that something incredible happened the inscription for the star formed a connection with the magic circle I tried to stop it but my instinct was telling me to let it go. I watched as the prana completed its transformation into my first star, with its connection maintained with the circle as it began floating around my heart
I opened my eyes and released my aura, The violet aura erupted from my body as it began to flow through my body making it stronger and robust
"Finally it would seem I have officially become an Magic Swordsman" Vergil declared as he completed his advancement
Tier 1, magician; 1 Star Swordsman Vergil Winchester
Vergil took out his sword and imbued Umbra with aura and thrusted in a strike as it struck down the mannequin precisely at its heart The sword felt more sharper and sturdier and I felt a strong connection with it I practiced with it by doing some basic skills.
The skills were executed perfectly and the power behind them was no joke his sword danced in the air as it left a trail of stardust
