I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

This old guy actually attacked his colleague in an attempt to steal someone?

Didn't he casually say before that I could choose for myself? Now he's going to use magic to stop Barton and make Blue Tower's request to me ahead of time?

He's a ruthless person...

Lynn clicked his tongue inwardly, and couldn't help but chuckle as he imagined the chaotic scene that would unfold once Old Man Barton recovered.

"What are you laughing at?" Aldolf asked him immediately.

"..." Lynn forced a smile and tried to salvage the situation, "Mr. Aldorf, please stop joking with me. I'm only an apprentice mage right now, and I'm not qualified to join the Mage Tower."

Aldorf's lips moved as if he was about to explain, but Lynn interrupted him, saying, "Right now, I just want to focus on learning second-circle magic and pass the entrance exam for novice mages. As for the mage tower, I don't know much about it yet, so I don't have much of a choice. This is something I need to think about carefully, don't you think?"

His words were extremely sincere and simple, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Aldorf didn't dwell on it. He stroked his long beard, smiled, and nodded. "Alright, after you've obtained your entry-level mage qualification, remember to come find me. Remember, child, you'll need Blue Tower's help."

This is the arrogance of the Mage Tower; every mage in the Mage Tower believes that the path of magic they pursue is the most correct.

Even though Lynn had already shown talent that was enough to make him take notice, he would only think that it was not Blue Tower that needed Lynn, but rather Lynn that needed Blue Tower.

"Okay," Lynn said politely, "I will definitely consider it seriously."

Seeing that the matter was temporarily resolved, Aldolf waved his sleeves and dispelled the two area-of-effect spells.

Patton immediately rushed over, cursing and swearing.

Seeing this, Aldorf turned around with a blank face, and the two of them, one clueless and the other unhappy, were in a chaotic mess.

Seth wasn't surprised at all; the two old people had been like this for quite some time.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Lynn found an excuse and quickly left.

In the following days, he did not go to the Magic Association or the third floor of the Golden Tower.

Aside from spending his days reading and studying in the hotel and occasionally going out for a walk, he only went to the magic shop and picked out a magic book for 30 silver coins.

The 0-ring spell [Communication] allows you to send a message to a target within a 50-meter range and receive a reply. This communication can only be heard by the two parties involved.

The price of magic books varies greatly, ranging from 20 to 100 silver coins depending on the quality of the book. The one Lynn bought was the lowest quality.

Fortunately, his spirituality had just been enhanced, and he accurately grasped the spiritual knowledge described in the book, mastering the trick completely in just half an hour.

Given the complex environment in the wild, the "message" technique, a covert way of transmitting messages, is very important. I can even act as a "messenger" in the team.

Lynn reminisced about the process of learning new magic from the magic book, finding it quite interesting.

Even if this mission fails to uncover any information about the Corruption Cult, Eli's promise of 10 gold coins after finding Charlotte Fenrir will be enough for him to buy a second-circle spellbook.

In that case, he would be able to take the entrance exam for aspiring mages.

"What kind of second-tier university should I study?" Lynn wondered expectantly.

……

Time passed quickly, and on the morning of the third day, Eli returned to the Iris Hotel as promised.

It was as if she had carefully tailored an outfit more suitable for adventure: a sky-blue top, light brown trousers, thick-soled ankle boots, and a grass-green short cape.

Lynn nodded approvingly. She was quite smart, knowing to wear natural colors as much as possible. Her previous white preppy-style long dress was incredibly eye-catching in the forest.

"How are you? Haven't seen me for a few days. Did you miss me?" Eli greeted her cheerfully.

Lynn said expressionlessly, "You've come at the right time. I was just about to go get my staff."

"..." Eli puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction. "You're so cold!"

Lynn rolled her eyes at her. "Haven't I always been like this?"

The half-elf girl was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, Lynn didn't seem to be very receptive to her approach.

Eli blinked his green eyes and fell into thought, like a warrior whose fighting spirit had been ignited.

Her previous performance had been proven effective in social situations, and few men could resist her charm.

But Lynn seems to be different.

He was too rational; he realized from the beginning that he was merely acting as a friendly, kind, and beautiful young girl.

Of course, beautiful young girls don't need to perform in that area.

No... I really am very kind and friendly...

Eli shook her head slightly; she had almost confused herself.

This was the first time she had ever doubted herself...

"Let's go, Liam and the others are ready and waiting for us."

Lynn tidied his clothes, packed his money bag and backpack, and arranged to meet his three teammates at their residence on Dew Street at noon.

"Oh, oh." Eli finally came to his senses and quickly followed.

All her belongings were stored in the Emerald Staff's storage space, so she only needed to carry the staff to set off at any time.

Inside a magic item crafting shop near the Magic Association.

The environment remained chaotic, with the stone-skinned dwarf standing quietly behind the counter.

Upon seeing the two enter, he immediately raised his head and mechanically said, "Guests, your staff is now complete."

When Lynn reached the counter, he picked up a long wooden box from beside him and placed it on the table.

Lynn opened the wooden box with great anticipation, and immediately, a sea-blue magical power spread out like ripples on water.

It was a silver-white metal staff, with the aquamarine given to it by Eli at the top.

"This is a magic amplification gem of excellent quality. I paired it with Radiant Silver, which has a stronger guiding magic power. It is a lower metal than Mithril. If possible, I sincerely suggest that you switch to Mithril for the staff body in the future."

Lynn smiled bitterly to himself after hearing this. If he could, of course he would want to too!

A proper mithril staff costs over fifty gold coins just for the materials, and with the complex crafting process, it's practically impossible to get one for less than a hundred gold coins.

This is already the configuration for an elite mage...

"You can try the staff's effect," said the stone-skinned dwarf.

Lynn immediately took out his staff, held it in his hand, and immediately felt his spirit being drawn by an invisible force.

Seeing his unusual expression, Eli leaned over and whispered, "The first time you use the staff, you need to perform a binding ritual. You fill the staff's magical runes with your spirituality, and then activate it with magic."

Lynn smiled gratefully and, following her instructions, released her spirituality to merge with the staff, guiding the magic within her body along the magical patterns her palm touched.

The aquamarine suddenly lit up, and even the silver staff emitted a faint glow.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" Eli asked curiously.

Lynn sensed the information transmitted by the staff, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

"Of course," he said, raising his staff, his eyes reflecting a silvery-white and azure light, "let's call it the Super Magic Staff."

In addition to its basic mana replenishment function as a magical artifact, it also possesses excellent mana channeling and magical amplification abilities, and has an effect that can be actively controlled:

【Magic Surge】: During its duration, magic consumption increases, while also enhancing the effects of all cast spells.

Lynn was overjoyed; this effect was practically tailor-made for him!
