Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After Zevien reached the one-hour and forty-five-minute mark, his magic eidos body started trembling. This trembling indicated that he was pushing himself past his limit.

Ten seconds passed,

Twenty,

Thirty,

...

At thirty-fourth second, he finally lost it as his magic eidos body disappeared.

…

Zevien opened his eyes and saw everyone looking at him. With a blank expression, he asked, "what?"

"Damn, bro!! You stayed twenty-five minutes ahead of Vernisia and Tigger!" Dan smacked Zevien's shoulder and spoke with a laugh. He didn't know his friend was this tough.

'Tigger? Oh yeah. He was the most talented one in our class before,' Zevien remembered Tigger.

Vernisia and all the other students were looking at him with impressed eyes.

"Good job, Zevien," Touma said before smiling and continuing, "everyone has checked their magic power except you. Show us how much magic power you possess right now."

Zevien nodded as he moved mana from his magic eidos body and channeled it internally towards his wrist before infusing it inside his Digi-watch.

[Zevien]

-Magic Power: 34.6

-Class: A-3

-Desk No. 17

-Rank: ~

-Credits: 10

"Thirty-four! Awesome," Dan said with a beaming smile, "I guess one of the top spots goes to Zevien in the competition."

Vernisia and Tigger's magic powers were 28 and 27, respectively.

"Well, magic power is not the basis of everything in combat," Tigger, the boy with yellow hair, spoke as he rolled his eyes, "combat ability is the most important."

It was true, in a sense, because despite possessing high magic power, if one can't hit their magic spells or can't combat properly, like failing to defend, dodge, etc., one will lose against someone possessing lower magic power. Timing and fast reaction are also important.

"What magic labyrinth did you awaken?" Touma asked with curiosity. Everyone was curious about it as well since the topic of magic labyrinths was always interesting.

"Violet Spectrum magic labyrinth," Zevien said, "I have never heard of this magic labyrinth before."

The students also started thinking and going through their memories.

Tigger frowned and thought, 'Violet Spectrum…I haven't read about a magic labyrinth with this name. Did this guy really awaken a new one? It's been four years since a new magic labyrinth was recorded.'

Vernisia also fell into thought but failed to remember if such a magic labyrinth was recorded.

However, the expression of Touma was different. His brows were slightly creased as he was thinking something and spoke, "I have read about this one. It's in the original records since nobody had awakened this magic labyrinth for fifty-four years."

Hearing that, everyone got surprised.

"The one recorded had gotten an awakening spell called the Violet Kingdom upon awakening this magic labyrinth. I know that everyone gets a different awakening magic spell. So, what is your spell called?" Touma inquired as he rubbed his chin.

"Eh, mine is called Somatic Violet Four Vehemence," Zevien said with a smile.

"That's one long spell name, hahaha."

"I wonder what it does? From the name, it seems related to emotions or something like that."

The students started talking while Touma nodded after getting the answer and snapped his finger, "alright, everyone can take a break now. I am sure you all must be hungry after your first trip to your magic labyrinths. Meet me here after one hour."

Touma left the area while the students instantly started bombarding Zevien with questions about how he managed to stay in the magic labyrinth for so long on his first trip.

"Stop, stop!" Zevien said as he raised both of his hands and grinned, "the answer is straightforward. You want to know?"

Everyone nodded, including Vernisia. Tigger also subtly nodded as he was curious.

"First, make some distance," Zevien said as he started walking backward, "don't worry, I am not planning to run."

"Ahem, so the answer is…," Zevien smiled and spoke, "you have to spend at least one-hour doing meditation in the open air in the morning."

Hearing that, everyone was dumbfounded. That was because what Zevien said was the most normal thing.

"But we do it everyday…," someone muttered.

"Oh? Really?" Zevien feigned surprise and laughed, "sorry, then it only means that I am better than you all. Alright, goodbye."

After saying that, he dashed towards the exit and left the ground.

"Damn! He had no intention to tell us about it in the first place!"

"Hahaha."

"Troll!"

Some students started laughing. Vernisia chuckled and shook her head as well.

Dan also shrank his neck and left, "wait for me, Zev!"
