Opening the magic tome, Roy had initially worried that he wouldn't be able to understand its contents. However, as he flipped through its pages, he discovered that not only could he understand it, but he was also comprehending it remarkably quickly.
Until today, Roy had been an ordinary person, never exposed to magic or magical power. He hadn't expected to master it so swiftly without a teacher. It seemed this was another advantage the system had given him after his transmigration!
Thinking this, Roy immersed himself in the magic tome, beginning to read the method for refining magical energy printed within.
It didn't take long for Roy to feel that he had fully grasped the method. To test his understanding, he began attempting to refine magical energy.
Following the tome's method, Roy successfully condensed a magic source within himself.
As he sensed the faint but lively magic source rotating within him, Roy's face lit up with a smile. The process was going even more smoothly than he had imagined.
Not only did he now have the chance to transform into a Kamen Rider, but it seemed he had also become a genius in magic!
Holding back his excitement, Roy remained composed, understanding that true strength comes from a calm heart.
Roy continued to practice the method for refining magical energy, and on the third cycle, he felt a warm current emerging in his magical source.
This warmth flowed through the magical pathways he had just opened, nourishing his body. It seemed this was the magic he had refined.
In that moment, Roy felt a sense of transcendence. Of course, this sensation was merely an illusion; his body was beginning to transform from that of a regular person toward that of a mage.
This marked Roy's entry into the path of magic.
Roy could feel that his body, which had already been in peak condition since he transmigrated, was now further enhanced—not just an ordinary strengthening but a leap to a higher level.
If his physical strength had previously been about 1.5 times that of an average adult man in his previous life, now it was four times that of a normal adult!
Just by initially condensing magical energy, his strength had more than doubled!
Clearly, the magic and mages of this world were not to be underestimated.
With this thought, Roy came to a conclusion: he couldn't afford to underestimate the dangers of this world.
Earlier, by transforming into a Kamen Rider with a tenfold power boost, he had easily defeated an S-class magical beast that would have been extremely powerful for a typical mage.
This had caused him to slightly underestimate the world's danger, thinking he could dominate the world once he unlocked the mid-tier system with a fifty-fold power boost.
However, after personally experiencing the terrifying power boost from magic, Roy realized that he could not take this world lightly.
After all, he had just begun refining magical energy, and the enhancement was already so immense. If he continued training, how strong would he become? And if he compared himself to the two most powerful bosses of this world, Acnologia and Zeref, how terrifying would their strength be?
Therefore, it was essential not to underestimate this world! Otherwise, he might be caught off guard one day.
To avoid this, not only did he need to take his opponents seriously, but he also had to ensure his own strength was formidable.
In that moment, Roy corrected his mindset and solidified his determination to become stronger.
With thoughts of the system that accompanied him through transmigration, Roy felt more resolved to train in magic.
The stats of Kamen Rider transformations may be fixed, but the stronger the user, the more powerful the transformation would be.
With Roy's current constitution that would continuously strengthen through magical training, how powerful would he become when he transformed into Kamen Rider?
Let's wait and see!
Then, Roy once again focused on refining magical energy.
The night passed in silence.
As the gentle morning sunlight entered the room through the window, illuminating Roy's face, he slowly woke up.
In that first moment of waking, Roy's deep eyes seemed to shine with a divine light, but it quickly disappeared.
Although he had only gone to sleep around three in the morning, Roy felt no drowsiness; on the contrary, he was full of energy.
This was the benefit of magical training. The magic that strengthened his body also made his spirit vigorous.
According to the storyline, today Natsu would bring Lucy back to the guild.
Roy was looking forward to witnessing the moment Lucy joined the guild, so he set out for the guild early.
He got up, washed, and headed out.
To the guild.

PS: Bonus update for reviews.
Honestly, I'm not great at writing about training, and it always feels like I'm padding the word count. I won't write about it much in the future; keeping it lighthearted is enough.
Reading three essentials: reading, collecting, and tipping!
