Days following the news of the ban I busied myself with my training in magic and exploring the city but I couldn't find enchant smith anywhere so I gave up and tried finding Rune smith to my dismay even Rune smith wasn't available for next three months I found one thing people in these to wouldn't just teach their knowledge to nobody like me so I gave up and last 3 days aside from doing minor quest like delivery and helping in construction I spend all my time on improving my magical skills I decided I will learn spell after I bought my required magical skills to level 5 it was done on 2nd day itself I decided to visit guilds library though I could excess on E-rank range of magical books but it was something Greg was the one who told me about it I learned all theory necessary for casting. long ranged spell.
So I decided to go to guild training grounds and practiced spells I thought of a spell that required basic understanding of phenomena that we are trying to achieve and strong will with enough mana that's the main component of the spell.
I created many spells from different elemental natures.
From water magic I decided to use its derivative ice, I created a thin slippery layer of ice, I named the spell
I imagined this would be extremely useful against monsters that depend on their charge attacks for example charge boar.
From fire magic I created a thin arrow it was quite hot it was almost yellow-white in colour according to books I read it was the 4th hottest type of fire this was my limit for now so I named it appropriately
From earth magic I created two spells one of them was the first spell was
From wind magic I created
Overall I have my magical might has increased by several folds insure it was this fast because I already had been great at mana control.
All my gains I could see it was honestly addictive in nature I muttered ones more 'status'

//Day of A-rankers arrival//
Today was Day A-ranked Adventurers party {piercing stars} it was quite odd name but I didn't worry about it and focused my entire time on improving myself while I was busy training mana control I heard knock on door of my room I opened the door, it was matron of inn she was curvaceous lady with bomb figure even though she is above 40( she gets scarry if I mentione her age) . She looked at me apologetically.
"Mavis dear someone from guild is here to meet you ."
She said calmly so I stopped my training and followed behind inn owner to meet the person that is asking for me when I reached dining hall of inn I saw Risa was sitting on one of table , Inn lady pointed towards her.
"That's her."
She said in low tone, I approached table with Risa.
"Risa!"
I called her in excited tone but I didn't know why she is here.
"Mavis I been looking for you."
She said in relieved tone.
"Why?"
I asked with confused expression on my face.
"Oh Greg was one looking for you after hearing that your first one to detect Giant forest worms!"
Risa said in excited tone.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"Master was looking for me?"
I asked in confusion, As I have seen him many times in past week so it seems weird that he is asking to see me these late.
"Oh Giant forest worms are dealt with, but Greg was the one who confirmed your theory, is is B-rank Adventurer, today he asked about who was first to detect it, after which we told him about you, so After guiding A-rankers and killing some giant forest worms he is back and wanted to see you. But we didn't know whether you will come to the guild today or not, and the Guild gives some B-rankers are given some special treatment so we had to look for you."
She explained in detail, I was bit overwhelmed with all the information.
"Do you know reason he is looking for me?"
I asked the important question.
"He said he wants to take you as his apprentice."
She explained briefly.
"Taking me as apprentice? Why would B-ranked adventurer take me as apprentice."
I asked her, I was surprised and flustered after learning master was B-ranked mage.
That made no sense to me as B-rankers are Elite of Elite they are superhumans capable of defeating monsters capable of destroying city single handedly .
"Well he said you have talent in magic, he has been observing you in the last week and after learning you are more he understood that your quite knowledgeble, he would have taken you as apprentice before but he thought you will need time to gain some knowledge regarding monsters, it is most important thing to learn for any mage."
Risa repeated words she heard from Greg she was sure Greg just didn't want to teach his apprentice basic things that are important in Adventuring business.
"Well I will meet him, anyhow where is he right now?"
I asked lightly, if he wanted to take me as his apprentice then it good thing for me and my future I may also able to take Tanya away earlier then I planned so I decided to meet him.
//Adventurers guild tavern//
After reaching Adventurers guild I looked around in guild taverns and spotted Mr. Greg so I approached his table waved my at him.
"Master I heard you wanted to talk to me."
I asked with curious tone, Adventurers surrounding us were surprised and he has asked for me, before today I haven't noticed it but all mages were looking at me enviously
"Mavis your here great!"
Mr. Greg greeted me in excited voice.
"Let's get to point I want to take you as apprentice."
He said in firm tone, murmur broke around in Adventurers guild.
"It would be honour, but could you tell me reason?"
I asked him in curious tone, Greg snapped his fingers and barrier came into existence and covered our table.
"This is sound isolation barrier, we will need it for our conversation going forward."
Mr. Greg explained calmly, only one thought ran through my mind chantless magic!!
"So I won't pry to much by asking specifics about your talent but I have been observing you for week and think you have talent to become great mage one day."
He said calm tone, I was taken a back.
"Why would you do that? I don't really have anything to pay you back with."
I said in low voice.
"It's quite simple actually, you have potential to become atleast B-rank mage so connection with Elite individuals js good thing for me to, you could say you owe me favour which I can cash out any time I want."
He said in light tone but I understood his reason, he simply doing it to form connections with me who is talented and may be able to help him with some trouble in future
"I understand but how are you so sure I will reach atleast B-rank in future?"
I asked question that has been bugging me, he seems too confident that I would reach B-rank. Most people have their limit at lv 30-35 that's C-rank and it's not worth invest that much time in them.
"You have atleast rare level of talent and limit of those with Rare level of talent is atleast lv50 so you will reach B-rank without a doubt."
He explained reason for his confidence.
"I see how are you sure I have rare level of talent?"
I asked my last question but defensively.
"That's quite simple have you seen rate at which you grow, that's indication of Atleast Rare level talent."
He explained in exasperated tone, I guess if he puts it that way that I have no reason to refuse him.
"Ok I will be your apprentice, master."
I said in serious tone than before , I was really looking forward to my time with him.
