Changes, Farewell, "Hundred Thousand Black Threads"!
Looking at the wizard before him, Ian's expression immediately turned strange.
Naturally, he recognized the wizard standing before him—the very wizard who had extorted Magic Stones from him before.
Back then, the man had been arrogantly condescending.
Now, he seemed like a completely different person.
As Ian sized him up, the Gray Robe Wizard was also lowering his head to examine Ian.
That vigorous Mental Power left no doubt—Ian had indeed advanced to a Rank 1 Wizard.
This filled him with a surge of regret!

Naturally, Ian had no reason
