"Oh. I get it now."
"The forest is getting chaotic." Sethra gazed at Tron with a frown before continuing, "It would be better if you don't head out to relieve boredom. There isn't much time left for rest. You should stay in your room and take a good break."
Tron smiled at Sethra's caring words.
"Don't worry too much. I will be within the vicinity of the forest."
Sethra frowned, thinking that Tron had indeed changed. He had always been quiet and very cautious in the past. But although he was still as quiet and reserved as before, he didn't seem to be all that concerned about grave matters.
"Alright, be careful."
Tron suddenly started heading for the forest.
The morning sun had already risen up from the east.
Layers of mist and haze engulfed the forest region blinding the sight of ordinary humans.
Just as Tron was about to enter, he heard the screech of various monsters flying overhead.
Countless mutated beasts were flying in the air, and some were even magical beasts flying and galloping into Darkbane Academy For Mages.
The students are coming back to participate in the promotional exams also.
Tron glanced at them for a few seconds before he removed his gaze and entered the mist forest
At the hottest spot under the scorching sun, Tron was only wearing a pair of pants while forging his golden bones. Under the hot sun, the young man had his hair tied up into a bunch. His muscles trembled incessantly as he performed his daily push-up task.
❰Daily quest:❱
〘200 Push Ups (20/200) incompleted〙
〘200 Sit Ups (20/200) incompleted〙
〘20 kilometers (0/200) incomplete〙
After becoming a first-tier acolyte his flesh and blood had been reborn. The new flesh and skin were fair and white. At the same time, one could vaguely see golden within his cells.
Amidst his eyes, the wild and berserk look was especially eye-catching.
In particular, the large blade on his back was even more eye-catching, even with its dullness.
Tron had thought he would be able to force his body to adapt to the weight of the blade and then complete his daily quest in the process.
He was dead wrong. The daily quest counter automatically restarts once he rests and he couldn't carry the blade around for ten meters before resting, making his training impossible with the blade.
Sighing in dissatisfaction, Tron dropped the blade and proceeded with his daily quest.
Ignoring his advancement to third-circle acolyte, he continued his gym plans, and only after he completed the daily quest did he rest.
After succeeding, he received a 1.5 times increase in daily quest-earned stats. His battle prowess had increased substantially once again.
Then he proceeds to officially start his training with Megaton Blade.
It took Tron the entire day for his body to adapt to the weight of the blade
If it weren't because he leveled up to the strength of a 3-tier acolyte mage, he wouldn't have been able to reach this stage.
The blade truly did test his limits.
"I have reached the third tier and I already have the strength of a third-tier acolyte mage's full power."
Standing under the cool moon, Tron couldn't help but reveal a smile.
It had only been a total of around 7 days, he was a skinny person and now, he had already reached such a level!
Although this was partly because due to the purple crystal, one thing he couldn't deny was that the 10,000 times adaptation rate was indeed something extraordinary. Tron knew clearly that he had obtained an impressive ability.
It was 7 pm and Tron decided not to train for the next five hours till midnight. He wanted to go back to the servant's manor.
Tron started moving there with the blade on his back.
He was finally able to carry it and move around freely. However, he always manages to get tired after 5 minutes of walking which extended by 10 seconds after every rest.
If he said he wasn't happy, he would definitely be lying.
Tron was already very confident about that entrance examination.
Sethra must have been filled with anxiety whenever he saw Tron leave the house. Tron didn't want her to be worried about him.
"You finally came back early."
Sethra sighed in relief when she saw him come back. Tron was simply too reckless nowadays and she worried for his safety.
Surprisingly, she had not discovered the major changes in Tron over this period of time despite Tron clearly looking more forceful and stronger, with more vigor.
"As a servant, it's better to follow the rules and complete what is required of us. Kane lost his life because he didn't follow the rules"
"The entrance examination will be taking place tomorrow. Do you want to watch it?" asked Tron when they were eating.
"Sure." Sethra readily accepted. Although she would be part of those who become a mage, she had been there every single time to watch.
"Oh." Tron nodded.

After their meal, Tron and Sethra arrived at the Demonic Beasts Garden once again. The one week of resting time had already passed. Based on the rules, he still had to do his chores in the Garden from today onwards.
It was a relatively busy day as various acolyte were dropping off their mounted creatures.
Suddenly, a loud roar could be heard and the servants all raised their heads to see and receive the acolyte that was arriving.
Tron also raised his head to take a look, and his pupils shrank rapidly at the sight. It was Jason and a few other acolyte mages once again, with the exception of Gillard.
"Tron, quickly, hide!" Sethra was panicking now. After all, in the eyes of Xavier, Tron should have been dead. If Tron was seen, there would definitely be serious troubles.
However, it was too late. Perhaps because Tron was too eye-catching among the servants, Xavier caught sight of him in the first instance.
