Fanatics of the Magic Academy

The magician left Hope's house with a pile of documents.

He applied a single layer of speed-enhancing magic to his body and quickly disappeared into the slums.

In fact, most second-circle mages, aside from research and combat, use first-circle auxiliary magic in their daily lives.

Because most magicians have very limited concentration, there are generally three ways for magicians to improve their concentration.

1. Day after day of meditation, though not as slow as the "Gu Long Meditation," it takes about half a month to improve concentration a little.

2. Taking drugs to enhance concentration, but almost all concentration-enhancing drugs in the world have side effects.

Common side effects of drugs that increase the maximum concentration include reducing maximum health (reducing lifespan) and slowing down the recovery speed of concentration (nerve damage).

3. Exhausting your focus and then letting it recover naturally is a relatively quick and effective method with fewer side effects. However, the feeling of exhausting your focus is very torturous, and people often feel listless for several days.

In the early stages of depleted focus, recovery is very slow.

Therefore, what Rose didn't know was that although his level of sanity was only that of a loli among second-circle mages.

However, his concentration level is in the upper-middle range for a second-circle mage.

The magician strolled through the streets, eager to use this data to further advance his research.

However, at that moment, under the influence of his high level of rationality, he overheard the conversation between two homeless men.

"You know what? Yesterday I saw a kid throw a huge fireball into the gang's territory."

"Yeah, that's scary. That must be a magician. But why is it a child?"

"God knows!"

The magician stopped in his tracks. A child? A magician?

He immediately thought of Rose.

He was indeed in a hurry to ask Hope for research data.

He only glanced at the attack from afar, not wanting to get involved.

Unexpectedly, he had just spent a long time chatting with the culprit.

He recalled Rose's youthful face and felt a deep sense of respect.

He began to speculate and assess Rosset.

He unleashed magic at a level comparable to the middle of the second ring, but no obvious fatigue was observed at close range.

There are no signs of a lack of focus.

There are two possibilities: one is that he has an extremely high level of concentration.

Another is that the released magic has an extremely high sanity modifier, so high that its power reaches the mid-level of the 2nd ring, but it does not consume much focus.

In either case, they are not people he can afford to provoke.

As for the claim that he regained his focus after casting the spell...

Nobody would believe that! How could that be?!

Unless the other person is taking a drug to restore focus, which often results in excessive excitement.

However, the other party did not respond in any way when communicating with me.

On the contrary, he was very rational.

Therefore, he guessed that Rose might have been a peak second-circle mage at his peak, or even just one step away from reaching the third circle.

After experiencing some kind of upheaval, his rationality collapsed, he was killed, and his mind became unstable. He developed a liking for role-playing.

They might even go so far as to modify their own bodies, appearing normal in their interactions, but in reality, their inner selves may be twisted.

This situation is not uncommon; in fact, it is quite frequent.

Otherwise, how could someone be so crazy as to recklessly and irresponsibly hurl such attacks at the slums?

And so, the legendary mind reader had already imagined all of Rose's character settings.

Thinking about this, he felt that things were likely to turn out badly in the slums this time.

The magician behind the gang and Rose are definitely going to have a fight, and who knows what kind of trouble that will cause.

So he decided to move his laboratory away from the slum today, to a farther place.

Anyway, now that he has the experimental data, he won't need to cause any trouble for a long time.

Although the King of Imagination's level of imagination is already extremely high, the reality is even more explosive than his imagination.

Rosemary is not a magician at all; he's a cultist.

A cult member who knows magic, and not only knows magic...

They were able to build a complete magic system in just half a month that would normally take a year for a magician to construct.

If he knew, his first reaction would probably be, "Has the world gone mad?"

My second thought was that the Magic Federation was probably in grave danger.

How can someone conceal their own faith-based nature while still being able to cast magic?

Using [Wind Network Perception] to confirm that the other party had left, Rose returned to the house and fell into deep thought as he looked at the sleeping Tiana.

After thinking it over, he decided to first take stock of Hope's remaining assets.

Then, anonymously expose Hope's dirty secrets to the official channels to resolve this lingering issue and clean up the mess.

As for this house...

Rose definitely won't stay.

God knows what kind of sinister secrets this magician left behind in this house.

Rose decided to sell the house and buy a new one.

Then one must remain vigilant to face the ever-present threat of attack and retaliation from the sorcerer behind the gang.

BYD Rose had been wondering why there were so few magicians in this world.

Most of the people I met were ordinary people, but the only one I encountered was Kenneth, who lived a life of debauchery in the slums, so engrossed in drugs that he was oblivious to the world around him.

Rose had previously thought that normal magicians didn't stay in the slums.

Now that I see it, it turns out that Du Nima was hiding in the slums.

The manager of the soup kitchen was an agent of a slain magician.

Even the most influential gangs in the slums have magicians behind them.

Rose boldly speculated that perhaps the cheap enhancers sold by the gang also contained something else.

It makes people die faster, but the effect isn't very obvious. That magician's research direction might be rather hidden.

It's not as intense, distorted, or bizarre as the magician behind Hope.

Furthermore, they can also make some money through gangs to try and make a comeback.

Is there any humanity left in this world?

Rose judged that such shady magicians living in the slums must be a minority.

Generally, only those who are naturally strong-willed or have some mental issues are qualified to be killed and still seek a comeback.

An ordinary magician, like Kenneth, would likely lose his sanity and spirit after being slain, and eventually die.

The majority of the remaining magicians are likely still within the normal magician community, such as academies, workplaces where magicians gather, and so on.

And these sorcerers who lurk in the slums may be even more dangerous than ordinary sorcerers.

Rose thought for a moment, then stood up and began to take stock of Hope’s valuable possessions and cash.

Then, after the authorities have dealt with Hope's matter, Rose will sell the house and buy a new one.
