Magic Rank C

"Yesss! Just as I thought!!"

Status and Magic Rank stayed the same—only level is at one.

The Mage class board still has nine cards left. I can keep grinding and leveling up like a boss!!

I went hunting down monsters crawling out of the gray-black ground!

Even when multiple monsters came at me, I used "Earth Magic" to drag their feet into the ground, immobilizing them, then finished them off with "Fire Magic."

Unlike before, I’ve got control now—only the monsters burned, nothing else.

With "Water Magic," I can visualize ice shards the size of a fist, hurl them at opponents, and the impact area instantly freezes, locking up movement. …… This could actually be super useful?

When monsters got too close, I threw a full-force backfist. Way more force than expected—off they went flying.

Even though my Strength stat isn’t high as a Mage, the skill bonuses make me ridiculously strong.

…… Still, touching zombies directly? Ugh, no thanks.

But I noticed something—my level was rising faster than I thought. Almost twice as fast as last time. Could it be that once you hit max level, subsequent growth speeds up?

Reached max level in about three days. The class rank change looked like this.

Mage Lv99

【Class Skills】

Magic Rank C → Rank B

Acquired "Magic" Wind Magic (I) ×2 Earth Magic (I)

Magic rank reached “B.” Maybe I’d grow faster this third time… so I went for the third “wizard” challenge… but.

"Growth speed is about the same as last time... probably won't get any faster than this."

Got maxed out in about four days. Magic rank—

Mage Lv99

[Profession Skill]

Magic Rank B → Rank A

Acquired "Magic": Fire Magic (I), Water Magic (I), Wind Magic (I)

Earth Magic (I)

Magic rank is now “A.” At this level, magic is way easier to handle—hit exactly where you want, control it like it’s part of you.

It used to feel like just slamming a massive force straight at the enemy, but now... I can twist and shape the power, control its strength, like it’s mine to play with.

The mage... I guess this is good enough for now.

Pull the职业 board from the pocket dimension, select one card from inside.

"Next up, this one!"

Tapped the surface. Checked the status.
