Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

"I choose this, Bionic Beam," Sophia said with a cheerful smile.

"I am going with this movement-type spell, Cushion Steps," Vernisia said before turning to Zevien, "what did you choose?"

"I choose this," Zevien said as he turned his head away from Vernisia before looking at Sophia, "Flash Curtain. It's a vision impairment magic spell."

"Oh...," Sophia nodded blankly, "but Vernisia asked you, not me....er, I remember now. You are not talking to Vernisia, right? Bummer."

Vernisia's lips twitched before she angrily smiled with eyes closed, "I always forget that. Damn, I am not speaking to you anymore."

Hearing that, Zevien made a painful expression while grabbing his heart as he looked at Vernisia with pitiful eyes, "that hurts, Sophia. Please, don't do that. You have to talk to me every day. Okay, Sophia? Pretty please?"

"Ahem," Touma coughed, "you can flirt later. Anyway, good choices and good luck learning those spells," he then continued with a smile, "all of these spells can go up to tier-3 through suitable combination with other magic spells."

Zevien and Vernisia nodded since they knew about the powerful tier-3 spell that required the tier-1 magic spell they chose as one of the bases.

Touma seemed to have remembered something and looked at Sophia with a grin, "you wanted advice same as the one I gave to Warmos, right?"

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

"After mastering Bionic Beam, you can learn the concept of another tier-1 magic spell, Metal Eater, and then a tier-2 magic spell, Metal Drive. After that, you should be able to learn a tier-2 magic spell, Earth Vein Amperite, from your magic labyrinth, Forgon's Terra Ferma.

"You don't need to weave all four spells but only weave the ones that can be useful for you in combat. However, be sure to practice those four spells a lot by repeatedly creating their spell formations after comprehending their spell concepts."

After pausing a bit, Touma continued with a sharp smile, "you can create a powerful tier-4 magic spell with the proper combinations of these four spells' spell formations. That tier-4 magic spell is known as Overdrive Metal Nexus."

"Overdrive Metal Nexus…," Sophia's eyes lit up in hyper excitement, and she hurriedly asked, "the name sounds cool, but what does it do, and are there any proper learning processes for the combinations of their spell formations to create that spell?"

Hearing that, Touma released a hollow laugh, "for that; you will have to betray this country and become our enemy because this peak tier-4 magic spell belongs to our enemy country. We only have name data regarding the four combination spells, but how to combine them? We don't know."

Tapping lightly on the table with his cane, Touma continued, "However, since you awakened the same magic labyrinth as that 1st class magician of our enemy country, you have a chance to create this spell."

Zevien and Vernisia wryly smiled hearing that and consoled Sophia.

"But at least tell me what that tier-4 spell does?" Sophia said with a pout.

"That spell… it's terrifying. Its appearance is a floating five-meter big orb with eight mouths. It releases highly destructive laser beams with maximum level 5 penetrative power from those mouths. You can feed metals to the orb for more powerful laser beam attacks," Touma said with a slight dread in his eyes, "that level 5 penetration power can be reached when you feed it powerful materialized metal from your magic labyrinth."

"If that spell's penetration power was classified as level 5, then It can destroy the most powerful artificial defenses developed to date," Vernisia said with narrowed eyes, "that is really powerful."

Touma nodded as he looked at Sophia encouragingly, "that's why I want you to succeed in creating that spell, and I know you can do it."

Sophia's face turned red as she was hopeful and excited about this endeavor, "I will do it!"

"Alright, since you have chosen, you can go now," Touma said as he gestured with his right hand for them to leave, "come to the class tomorrow on time."

The three of them nodded and walked towards the exit.

But suddenly, Touma spoke, "oh wait, Zevien. You stay here. I have something to ask you."
