D-Class Magus

A week later.

Early morning.

The sun had just risen, a sliver of light spilling onto Ul as he slowly opened his tightly shut eyes...

Compared to a week ago, Ul now appeared far more spirited, his eyes bright and sharp, no longer bearing that frail look from before.

At the same time!

Ul's attribute panel had also undergone noticeable changes.

With the help of the Void Stomach passive ability and the Basic Meditation Method, Ul's body and mind recovered quickly.

Not only that!

Perhaps due to the "Magic Power Backlash," Ul even faintly sensed a slight increase in his total magic power...

"In my current state, I should be able to attempt inscribing a magic array!"

Although Ul's body still appeared thin and weak from the outside, its essence had undergone a qualitative change compared to before. Given his current condition, he was fully capable of trying to inscribe a magic array and learn magic.

The predecessor's notebook recorded three basic magics: a water-manipulation spell, an offensive water bullet spell, and a defensive water shield spell.

The difficulty of learning these three magics was not high; most mages started with similar spells when they first began their training!

Before learning magic, Ul first went to the cafeteria, ate until he was about seventy or eighty percent full, and appeased his stomach!

As his body gradually recovered, the Void Stomach passive began to reveal its terrifying appetite.

Then Ul took a bath, washed up, and changed clothes...

After all that was done!

Ul began attempting to control his mental power and inscribe a magic array.

The first spell he chose was that basic water-manipulation magic—the most fundamental of water magics and the simplest among the three.

Mental power and magic power are the two most critical factors determining a mage's strength.

The stronger one's mental power, the more efficiently they can use their magic power. Even with the same amount of magic power, different levels of mental power produce vastly different results.

As for magic power, that goes without saying!

It is the very foundation of being a mage. When a person's magic power reaches a certain level, even if their mental power is lacking, they can still unleash terrifying destructive force!

On this point!

The most representative example in the entire Fairy Tail World was some red-haired guy!

This guy's mental power and magic power were out of proportion, so he often looked a bit listless, and whenever he acted, he unleashed power that destroyed everything, completely unable to hold back...

Of course!

The reason this guy looked listless might also be because he had too many women, draining his body dry.

As for such a public enemy of men!

Ul didn't mind speculating about him with the most malicious intentions!

But these issues were still far too distant for Ul at the moment!

Because right now, both his magic power and mental power were only slightly above the standard line for a normal adult.

For a beginner in magic, inscribing a magic array often required a simple hand gesture as an aid, which improved stability during the process. This gesture would gradually disappear as one's magical practice deepened...

Except for certain special magics!

Ul chose a hands-together gesture, which to some extent helped him focus his mind more.

However, the difficulty of learning magic still exceeded Ul's expectations!

His first two attempts quickly ended in failure, and the magic power within him was completely drained.

The whole process was something like:

Ul: "As long as you successfully carve this magic circle, you'll have succeeded, understand?"

Magic Power: "Understood!"

Mental Power: "What did you say?"

Through these two failed attempts, Ul did discover another benefit of having so little magic power in his body!

That was... the recovery speed was quite fast.

Using the Basic Meditation Method, Ul quickly replenished the magic power he had consumed, and then he began another attempt...

And then another failure!

This was the result of having too poor magical aptitude and mental talent.

In the end, it was still a realistic world.

But Ul wasn't discouraged, and he kept trying tirelessly...

With a cheat system at his disposal, Ul wasn't panicked at all. The only thing he needed to do now was learn these few spells, then join a Mage Guild, then take on quests, complete them, and then top up money...

Use money to create strength!

Ul's persistence finally paid off.

After who knows how many failures, during one attempt to carve a magic circle, the circle suddenly burst into blue light, and then a stream of water like a small snake appeared before Ul. As his mind moved, the stream of water began to shift shapes...

"Such a magical spell!"

Looking at the water before him, a thought surfaced in Ul's mind!

But that was all. Aside from this thought, Ul had no other ideas in his heart at the moment...

Before learning the spell.

Ul had been a little excited, but when he actually mastered it, he suddenly realized that so-called magic... seemed to be just that.

"I really am a man who loves the new and loathes the old!" Ul sighed inwardly, deeply feeling his own guilt!

But regardless!

From the moment Ul successfully released the Water Control Magic, it meant he had officially become a D-rank Mage.

In this world, the ranks of mages were mainly evaluated by the various Mage Guilds. Based on the Magic Council's standards and the mage's daily quest completion rate, the guild would assess and assign a rank to the mage!

In other words, the so-called mage ranks in this world were not a division of realms, but merely a simple evaluation!

Although a mage's strength made up a large part of this evaluation, it wasn't the sole criterion. So in this world, so-called "cross-rank battles" happened quite often...

But none of this had anything to do with Ul at the moment!

Because a D-rank Mage was the lowest rank.

And the evaluation standard for this rank was only one: being able to successfully release a spell made you a D-rank Mage.

After learning the Water Control Magic!

Ul pressed on and began learning the other two basic spells...
