"Nailisi, if I were to just turn away now, I would face great difficulty advancing in the future. Grade-9 will become my limit. I didn't feel much getting in my way when advancing to grade-8, and that was because I had enough experience with things. Beyond grade-9, relying on experience alone would be meaningless."
Saleen's words were extremely plain, yet Nailisi was rendered silent.
To practice magic was to walk an extremely arduous path. Ever since she began following Saleen, she had yet to see her master truly have any time for leisure. Saleen practiced magic with any free time he was able to get. He never went about enjoying himself, and never took long breaks. The way a mage took breaks was to meditate. A mage's constitutional toughness would be raised tens of times when advancing into the rank of sorcerers, enabling them to train for consecutive days and nights on end.
