"...Fire elemental patterns on the arm? That's very rare."

Viktor was awakened by a series of words echoing in his mind, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

He opened his eyes and saw his senior, who was only slightly taller than the recliner, holding his arm and observing him suspiciously.

While looking them over, the other person was also holding a quill pen and making notes on a piece of paper with an extremely serious expression.

"..."

Viktor looked away and gazed at the ceiling above him.

Having confirmed that this was indeed the cabin Miles had prepared, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, somewhat puzzled as to how he had gotten back here.

"You're awake?"

Upon seeing Victor awaken, Laura's ashen, lifeless face revealed a faint smile.

"You fainted on the way back because you exhausted your magic, and Mikand carried you back."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Viktor's forehead, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Is anything bothering you?"

Hearing the question in his mind, Victor looked at Laura, who hadn't opened her mouth, and felt that something was off.

"Hmm... I don't feel any discomfort."

Viktor casually removed the other person's cold hand with his right hand, then sat up straight and looked out the window.

Although the streetlights in this cave town are provided by bioluminescent plants, he could tell from the almost deserted streets that it was probably already dark.

Seeing this, he turned his head and asked:

"Senior, have you seen those two students?"

"..."

Laura, who was examining Victor's left arm closely, simply nodded upon hearing this: "They're all fine."

Then, she grabbed Victor's arm again: "I think you should care more about these elemental patterns than the girls."

She stared with lifeless eyes, looking somewhat serious:

"These markings, are they the price of that secret technique? Do you feel like your left arm has been put into a furnace right now?"

"..."

Viktor paused for a moment, then realized that the other person must have misunderstood something. He then reached out and picked up the paper that the other person had just written on in large swaths.

The volcano clan's heritage often contains powerful fire elemental spells, which are beyond ordinary people's understanding of the fire element.

Therefore, when outsiders obtain their inheritance, they will likely be devoured by the fire element if they use its secret techniques due to insufficient affinity with the fire element.

Upon investigation, the situation of the junior student Viktor was found to be consistent with historical records.

"So, you think the lines on my arm are a form of backlash?"

After seeing the message written by the senior student, Victor suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at his left arm, which had fully recovered, and asked with a smile.

"Isn't that right?"

Seeing Victor's calm demeanor, Laura frowned slightly: "Your eyes have turned red."

She is a pragmatic person who believes in experience, but even more so in the real things she has witnessed with her own eyes.

"In the past, I once met a person with ice element patterns. Every winter, she would feel the biting cold and could only relieve it by soaking in hot springs all day."

But even that person didn't have their eyes change color due to the elements' influence like you did.

As she said this, a clear displeasure appeared on her face.

Even though she laid out all her worries and presented such a serious matter to Viktor, he simply lay down leisurely.

"Junior, admit it, now you..."

Laura wanted to say, "You must be feeling a stinging pain in your arm now," but before she could finish speaking, she saw the red lines on Victor's arm begin to fade rapidly.

Moreover, the boy's crimson pupils instantly turned back to their original black.

"If I'm not mistaken, that was at least a hundred years ago, so it doesn't seem to be of much reference value."

Sensing the shock coming from the other end of the mental connection, Viktor's lips curled into a playful smile.

"..."

Overwhelmed with surprise, Laura instinctively took a half-step back, her mouth slightly agape. After a long pause, she wiped away the cold sweat that wasn't actually on her forehead.

"Junior is right. One person's experience alone cannot prove that everyone's experience is the same, it's just... similar."

As Laura spoke, her expression gradually returned to calm, and she seemed to suddenly become incredibly rational.

Some scholars are like that; when they talk about knowledge, they often make the conversation boring.

However, Viktor didn't want to get anything from her, and he was actually pleased to see that his senior could accept the bizarre situation she had witnessed so quickly.

Having a senior like that by your side is always better than following some idiots.

"By the way, junior."

As Viktor was thinking this, he heard his senior's voice in his mind.

Then, the other person gave a somewhat stiff smile:

"Although I didn't get to witness that secret technique firsthand, congratulations on successfully overcoming the biggest obstacle in the cave."

"And starting tomorrow, we can requisition all the materials in this cave."

"..."

Viktor smiled faintly, naturally understanding what the other person meant.

Since the black scroll has transported itself to this underground area, then the materials recorded on it must be located here.

Miles has been to every place in this area and obtained any materials he could get his hands on.

Therefore, the remaining magical materials are probably behind "Greed Incarnate".

"It's time for us to test this hypothesis. If we've gathered all the materials, I'd appreciate it if you could teach me, senior."

......

Meanwhile, at Silvermoon Academy.

Lutia had just seen Elena out of the office.

Then he watched the other person leave the teaching area and enter the secret corridor.

She looked away and prepared to brew a cup of coffee, just like yesterday.

But as soon as her fingers touched the cup, she remembered something, quickly walked to her desk, and looked at the quill pen that was writing "rustling" on it.

She was busy instructing Elena today and didn't have time to do anything else. Only now did she realize that she had taken on two students at the same time.

She put down the quill pen, then picked up the notebook with fresh handwriting and turned the pages one by one.

"Um?"

However, as soon as she turned to the last page she had read, she felt a sense of unease.

It was clearly written on it:

Having spent a long time immersed in the Level 4 art, Victor has mastered the legacy of the Mystic Stone and has decided to eliminate the greatest threat in this underground world, "The Incarnation of Greed," today.

Lutia recognized all the words on it, but when put together, she felt like she was illiterate.

"What does it mean to have been immersed in Level 4 for a long time? Also, what's wrong with this kid? How could he master an ancient technique in less than a day?"

As she muttered to herself, her eyelids twitched slightly, as if she might have misread something. But when she looked again, the result was the same.

"That shouldn't be the case. Meuleus clearly said that Victor is a very steady person. Does he really want to reach level 5 so quickly?"
