Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 16 - 14: A First-Level Mage, Terrifying as Such



The next day.

Kael, slightly tired, got up for breakfast and then changed into his Mage Robe.

He sought out Old White to ready the carriage, preparing to visit the Dungeon.

Old White was surprised, stepped forward, and said, "Young master, pardon my boldness."

After speaking, he lifted Kael’s loose sleeve, pinched his arm, and the smile on his face became brighter as he did:

"This... not only has your frail condition not worsened, but it has also significantly improved compared to ordinary people. Young master, have you successfully assimilated Mr. Anthony’s core?"

Kael nodded his head, "Strictly speaking, not only has my body become stronger, but my professional rank has also been upgraded."

"Formal Mage (LV2)?"

"Formal Mage."

"Great! Young master, let me take you to the Guild for registration. With this status, you will also have an additional layer of protection."

Old White’s thoughts coincided with his own.

His plan B for escaping the arranged marriage was to become a Formal Mage and use the power of the Mage Association to fight against Earl Rezhe’s forces.

After the master and servant discussed, they freshened up a bit and went to the Lancaster Territory’s Guild.

There is no formal Mage Association in Lancaster Territory.

Although the territory is vast, it is sparsely populated, and there are only a few formal members of the Mage Association, so it’s not possible to build a dedicated Association there.

Even wealthy mages wouldn’t spend their money this way.

Similar situations apply to the biggest association in the Human Kingdom, "Curse Swordsmen Association," the occupation guild "Iron Guard Association" that’s easy to learn but hard to master, and the "Forest Patrol Association," which primarily deals with scouting and exploration.

In these sparsely populated territories on the periphery of the federation, such associations are indispensable and difficult to establish independently, so they rely on the Adventurers’ Association. Multiple parties jointly fund the creation of a Guild that is shared by various associations within the region.

Some of the foundational functions of different associations will be integrated into the Guild.

For example, the related registration after the upgrading of a mage’s professional rank is included therein.

Lancaster Territory is in this situation.

When Old White boarded the carriage with Kael and arrived in front of a building, they were met by the person in charge of the Guild coming forward: "I was wondering who would come to the Guild this early in the morning. Turns out it’s Young Master and Mr. White."

"Jones, since you came to Lancaster, how come the opening hours have been getting later?"

Jones touched his disheveled beard, looking somewhat sheepish as he said, "Slept in... what professional wouldn’t call it sleeping in? Besides, didn’t I open on time?"

Old White chuckled without saying anything else, stepped back to make way for Kael, and said, "We’re here to register the Lord for his Mage qualifications."

Jones was stunned for a moment, giving Old White a meaningful look.

Old White’s expression remained unchanged.

Jones’s face became a few degrees more eager, he wiped the sweat from his palms and stepped forward with a loud voice, "That truly is an honor. Lancaster hasn’t seen a Formal Mage for several years.

Just recently the head of the Frantown Mage Association was complaining about this matter to me. I’d been thinking it was about time for some newcomers. Look at this, here comes the Lord. Good fortune is knocking on our door."

Leading them into the Guild, Jones took a standard-issue half-staff Magic Wand from a safe at the counter and handed it to Kael, saying:

"Lord, this is a standard-issue wand produced by the Mage Academy. It’s inferior to your fine Magic Wand, of course, but please use this wand to release any first-level spell of your choice.

The Recording Crystal here will upload the image to the Royal Capital, where a senior mage assigned to review the images will evaluate it. Once approved, you’ll be recorded as a recognized Formal Mage."

Kael nodded in agreement, gazed at the target in the backyard, and said, "So, I just need to break the target, right?"

"Yes, you only need to break the wooden target next to...

Before he could finish, six condensed Water Guns appeared around Kael, and a spreading halo of ice-blue light made Jones involuntarily step back half a step. He opened his mouth, shivered, and then pressed his lips together, saying no more.

Clang and booming sounds erupted, and the humanoid iron target next to the wooden one was perforated by the Ice Arrows that burst forth, turning it into a porcupine.

"What a combination, the Chain Water Gun Technique with the Freezing Aura, and such a fast simultaneous spellcasting, Lord, your magical control is truly profound."

Although Jones was not a Mage, and didn’t know much about the spellcasting certification standards, merely collaborating with the Mage Association for on-site verification as a heartless tool person, he was still a professional.

Just seeing Kael’s fluid spellcasting speed and the immediate penetration of the iron target was enough to deserve his praise.

Who the hell outside said that Anthony’s son was as weak as a goose?

That iron target was used to test the sword damage of registered curse swordsmen, not to test official Mages.

Attacking the strength of curse swordsmen with the Mage’s weakness and achieving such an effect was truly astonishing.

But how should he explain to the Curse Swordsmen Association that their testing tool was blown apart by a Mage?

Jones scratched his head and felt a bit troubled for a moment.

However, his hands moved quickly, transmitting the information from the Recording Crystal shortly after.

Soon, feedback came back.

[Magic Type]: Combined Damage Magic

[Damage Assessment]: 3

[Casting Speed]: 4

[Average]: 3-4

[Assessment]: Granted Official 2nd Level Mage Status—Luxius Parker

...

[Location: Duchy of Lancaster, Royal Capital, Frantown Mage Academy, Inside Mage Tower]

Monarch of the Enchantment Department, Honorary Vice Dean Luxius looked at the noodles boiling over the alcohol lamp, warming his hands.

Having forgotten the time while doing magical experiments these last two days, he was now so hungry he felt dizzy, and there was still an experiment to be done later, so he decided to make do with some rations.

Suddenly, the gemstone at his waist flashed, and he picked it up, glancing at the live scene of the official Mage test that had been sent for his review.

Just as he was about to look at the "Mage Evaluation Level" section, the noodles in the beaker suddenly began boiling over.

Luxius turned his head and stirred the noodles with a fork, and when he looked back, he found that the iron target in the image was already penetrated by Ice Arrows.

"Huh, not bad technique there. Even among 2nd level official Mages (LV3), he’s quite skilled."

So, he offhandedly wrote a note in the [Assessment] section.

’Granted Official 2nd Level Mage Status—Luxius Parker’

After writing, the glow from the gemstone gradually faded.

"Huh, I hadn’t noticed just now, but it was only a 1st level Mage test, didn’t I give a rather high assessment?"

After saying that, Luxius scratched his already thinning hair: "Never mind, it doesn’t matter, the casting speed and damage indeed meet the standards for a 2nd level Mage assessment, and Mage levels are not so inconvenient a matter, are they?"

...

At this moment in the Lancaster Guild, Jones was scratching his head and wondering how the official Mage test ended up with a higher rating level.

But he didn’t dare to ask, and certainly didn’t dare to say the big shot made a mistake in the scoring, as in the realm of magic, he was the professional.

So he could only cough once and say to Kael: "Lord, the backstage review has been passed, from now on, you are an officially registered 2nd level Mage."

Old White: "Huh?"

Kael: "Oh."
