Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

[A/N: A quick info dump since I made a bit of a mistake regarding grades.

From Weak to Strong, it goes like this:

-Classless Magician= Normal magic beast (Weakest)

-5th Class Magician= Grade-5 magic beast (approx. 500 magic power)

-4th Class Magician= Grade-4 magic beast (approx. 1500 magic power)

-3rd Class Magician= Grade-3 magic beast (approx. 5000 magic power)

-2nd Class Magician= Grade-2 magic beast (approx. 10,000 magic power)

-1st Class Magician= Grade-1 magic beast (approx. 20,000 magic power)]

After the students entered their respective labyrinths, Touma waved his hand and used a tier-3 defensive barrier-type spell, Spectral Aegis, that covered all students in a green-blue half-transparent barrier.

After doing this, he returned to his office, where Zevien was sitting on a chair, looking through his Digi-watch.

Seeing Touma-sir arrive, Zevien nodded and said, "I'll be entering now."

"Go ahead," Touma said as he sat down on his chair.

Zevien closed his eyes and entered meditation.

After ten seconds, his body disappeared from the office as he appeared inside his Violet Spectrum magic labyrinth.

This time, he started moving and crossed the purple river, but after that, he didn't move and just went near a glowing purple tree with dark-purple branches and light-purple leaves.

There, he started training by using his spells while waiting for a normal magic beast to appear.

After thirty minutes, a magic beast finally appeared from the bush. It was a meter-long scorpion, not accounting for the length of its curved tail. It had dark-gold skin with purple patterns, and right after seeing Zevien, it pointed its tail towards him and released an attack from its stinger.

Zevien saw the venom stinger shooting at him, but he was ready and calmly erected a barrier around him using Somatic Sadness.

After blocking that attack, Zevien dashed towards the scorpion while releasing a purple orb attack using Somatic Anger.

The scorpion dodged the attack; however, Zevien had already arrived near it and dodged another attack and kicked it right below its head like kicking a football.

The scorpion was sent flying in the sky as Zevien quickly followed up with another purple orb while it was in the air and hit it.

The scorpion couldn't dodge the attack in the air and was hit in the belly.

*splat…*

Zevien moved towards its blasted body, but the scorpion didn't decay and turn into motes since Zevien had reached the limit of strengthening his body. To make it more powerful, he has to increase his magic power.

'Let's see if it works here,' Zevien thought as he pointed his hand towards the scorpion and used another awakening spell, Blood Morphing Art.

After absorbing the scorpion's blood, he did partial morphing as his hands turned into giant pincers, and a scorpion tail was produced from his back.

He consumed some mana and released a venom stinger from the tail towards a tree.

*crack…siiiiii…*

A hole appeared in the tree while the acidic properties of the venom stinger spread outwards before eventually melting the whole tree.

He then returned back to his human form as he just wanted to test something.

Also, he did not want to roam and kill magic beasts, so he stayed in the magic labyrinth as long as possible.

He stayed for two hours and five minutes before coming out.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Touma-sir was not here anymore.

"Must have returned to the ground," Zevien muttered before he saw a sticky note on the table that was not there before.

He picked it and read it.

[Come to the class after you are done.]

Zevien left the office and returned to the class, feeling the surge of magic power in him, "I guess it increased about 23 points this time."

[Zevien]

-Magic Power: 102.3

-Mana: 1023/1023

"So the increment was 24, nice," Zevien muttered, and while walking on the way, he coincidently encountered those four seniors that he and Dan beat up in the cafeteria.

Seeing Zevien, their faces turned foul.

"Bastard, don't think that we have forgotten about you," Jacky coldly said.

Zevien spoke with a bored look on his face, "whatever. But it's in your best interest that you forget about it. What if I said to your sister to sit on my lap? Or Mother? Or your wife when you get one?"

Hearing that, Jacky and the others' faces turned dark.

"Eh, getting angry?" Zevien scowled before he went near them and arrived face to face with Jacky, "the anger you are feeling….multiply it by a thousand times, and that was what I was feeling. So, a beating was obviously necessary."

"We were just joking at that time! Dumbass."

Zevien raised his eyebrows and smiled, "then I was also joking just now. But…, you still got angry, right? Come on, man. Why couldn't you take a joke that you yourself considered just a second ago? If you say it, it's a joke, and if I say it, it's not a joke?"

Jacky and the others became speechless, but Zevien leaned towards Jacky's side and whispered into his ears, "you can come at me whenever you want, but if you think of doing something to the people around me, then… I'll make it such that you'll wish for death."

The cold whisper of Zevien didn't make him look like he was joking at all.

Zevien left while those four were stoned for a few seconds after hearing Zevien's words.

"Forget about him," Jacky sighed, "It was our fault in the first place."

"But that bastard really slapped me hard," Junshil spoke as he pulled a long face.

Kaleil nodded as he was also against Zevien at that time and received many slaps.

Yemith wryly smiled, "I was pretty lucky in that case since his friend beat me, and it was not as hard as you two."

"Let's go and forget about him," Jacky said as his eyes turned determined, "there will be an exchange program of national academies and two seats to go into Skyward Union Academy. I want to try at least getting into the exchange program, even if I don't get one of the seats. Those freshmen beat us easily, and it shows their hard work. Even in a real magic duel, they have a chance to beat us because of their physical skills."

"Jacky, are you serious? Is that why you've been cutting the hangout time after the academy?"

"Where are you training?"

"I've joined Mist Meadow dojo," Jacky said with a nod, "you three should also come with me there."
