As Arthur was packing his bag, he was trying to digest what had and happened. He wonders if joining the team is the right decision. This world was dangerous. If he was left alone, he would not be able to escape from the lurking monster outside. He thought he had made the most logical decision.

Then He saw the laptop, calculator, rulers in his backpack. He thought that if it broke, it would be impossible to fix it, right at the moment the elf was putting the spices and plates in the magic bag he saw before eating.

“Elda, is there more room in that?” Arthur said, nodding at the pouch.

“Yes, but what are those? “When she saw the new devices, it intrigued her.

“The devices I used to design the building and I don't want it to break,” said Arthur.

He handed it to Elda and watched him put it in the pouch

Elda was 1.80 m tall and had chestnut-colored hair. She was wearing brown leather pants. She was quite a beautiful woman by old world standards. After they finished their gathering, they went out to join the rest of the group. The Mefzar had already found traces and determined the path to follow. They started walking.

Arthur approached Elda and said.

“Can you tell me how to become a magician?” he asked. Who wouldn't want to learn or become a wizard if possible?

She spoke calmly.

"We are surrounded by mana, we take some mana every time we breathe in and out. Mages hold this mana in their body and use it to control the surrounding mana, but the amount of mana they can hold in their body is different. On the other hand, you can increase the mana you can hold.” said Elda, as if reading from a book. She did hundreds of repetitions at the academy to learn the basics.

“Can anyone be a magician?” said Arthur.

“No, for a person to be a mage, they must be able to feel the surrounding mana. If they can sense the surrounding mana, their body shows that they are capable of holding mana.”

“Is there a method,” said Arthur

"The simplest method is to close your eyes and focus on your surroundings, if you feel it, you won't miss it, hmm, it's a very different feeling," she said.

They continued to follow the trail. Mefzar was doing the tracking job of the group. He seemed to be doing his job pretty well, too. He wasn't skipping any man-made tracks. His hawk eyes were constantly studying his surroundings.

Darkis came up to us.

“Do you have other songs on your strange device?” he asked. He seemed more interested in the songs than the phone itself.

“Of course,” said Arthur, taking out the phone and opening his playlist of 300 songs. He showed Darkis how to play it. The phone had a 45 percent charge left. He explained that when the phone's charge value reaches zero, it will turn off and need to be recharged. He turned to Elda with a little hope and said, "Is there a spell by which you recharge the powers of the magic tools?" she said.

"There is, but the Tool doesn't work with magic, I don't know if it will work." said

“What do we have to lose by trying,” said Arthur

Elda raised her right hand and muttered something. Arthur's eye was on the charging bar. The bar was steady at first. Then it started to move rapidly towards 100 percent.

“HAHAHAhahah”

He lowered his voice as the team started looking at him.

Arthur was relieved and happy. That was great news. Even though he couldn't use it to talk to anyone, he could use the phone for a lot of things. And since he found out that he was in a different world, he had never used it since he thought the phone would turn into a pile of metal when one charge ran out.

Since they were following the bandits' tracks, he considered giving the headphones to Darkis so that he wouldn't make any noise. He asked Elda to describe and ask for the headphones. Elda took what she said directly from the pouch. “How do you do that?” Arthur said, wondering.

"You imagine what you want to extract in your mind and the enchantment in the pouch gives it," she said

'He needs to find one of these urgently,' Arthur noted in his mind.

Arthur paired the phone with the Bluetooth headset and told Darkis how to put it on.

A little later, Darkis was disconnected from the world with the phone in her hand, and she was lost in the music.

Askar and the minotaur came to join them in the conversation.

“So, architect, did you like our world?” said the Minotaur.

“I can't say the other day went very well,” said Arthur. Telling the story of how the purple crab eats the rabbit.,

“We call them Erlots, and they're one of the weakest monsters on this side of the mountains,” he said with a laugh.

"What's on the other side of the mountains," said Arthur, wondering.

“There are kingdoms,-civilization,” Askar said.

“When the death fog lifted 300 years ago, races of 4 different continents flocked to conquer the new continent. The kingdoms that were originally established as colonies are now independent,” he said.

“What is the death fog?” he kept asking questions like a knowledge-hungry student.

Listening to our conversation, the elf could not resist and spoke.

“Previously, we thought that there were 4 continents in the world. We were aware of each other, even with very long voyages. Although rare, trade ships were traveling between continents. But there was a place covered with fog on their way. No one who had entered the fog had returned. That's why the sailors started calling the place Alwarti. 300 years ago, something changed and this fog started to lift. And all the continents flocked to get this new piece of land. What they found were powerless goblins. Defeating them was easy. Before long, 4 kingdoms were established in the south of the mountains.”

“Comadia, land of dragons and avians in the northwest, Dowand, land of Satyrs and minotaurs in the southwest, Asters, land of humans and dwarves in the northeast, and Runera, land of elves and gnomes in the south-east,” Elda concluded.

“Zzzzzz you are boring Elda ”.

“Askar shut fuck up you crude.”

"Well, we're in the north now, right? Are there any Kingdoms here," said Arthur.

“There is none”

“How so”

“Well Truce, between kingdoms not allowed to invade north but if it allowed it will be very difficult because in winter someplace in here will be devastated by powerful monsters”

They had come to a small stream. Turning behind Mefzar and he said, "Their traces come this far, they probably tried to cover the traces by using the stream."

“We need to find the tracks again on the other side,” said Mefzar, as if he understood all the bandits were thinking

The stream was knee-deep, and they crossed it easily and began to descend in the direction of the stream flowed. It was more difficult for the bandits to go upstream in the water, so they decided to try down first.

Mefzar signaled them to slow down. There was something strange. Arthur started to feel something different. It felt like ants were walking on his skin, which made him very uneasy. Bill and Askar slowly drew their weapons. Mefzar put an arrow in his bow and waited, ready to shoot at any moment. Darkis had put the phone in his suit pocket and removed the earphones.

A giant white tiger appeared ahead. Mefzar stretched his bow and fired his first shot. The arrow whistled in the air and pierced the tiger's eye. The tiger was angry. It rushed towards the group.

“Bill, you have the front,” said Mefzar.

"Leave it to me, captain," said Bill

Bill's shield collided with the incoming tiger. The tiger was stunned. Suddenly a ball of fire appeared in Darkis's hand. And it flew towards the tiger's right side. The tiger was obviously damaged by this blow. He roared and dashed forward.

“Elda use [Bind] quickly,” Mefzar said, controlling the entire battle as if he knew everyone's powers.

Elda knelt and put both hands on the ground. And vines began to grow under the tiger's feet. The tiger remained motionless. Askar took advantage of this gap and struck a sword on the tiger's throat. Blood began to gush from the tiger's neck. The tiger began to struggle. Mefzar sent another arrow to his wounded neck. When the arrow found its place, the tiger fell to the ground, motionless.

Mefzar looked at the team and said, "Is everyone okay?"

“Ahaha, I wish we didn't kill so soon. The fun hadn't even started yet,” Bill said.

“War maniac,” said Askar with a smile.

Everyone was smiling except Arthur. Arthur froze. When the battle began, he instinctively staggered to the back of the group. The team had never lost their composure. It looked like it was something they had encountered many times before.

Mefzar saw Arthur's state and said, "Well, how did you find our team?"

“You're so strong,” said Arthur, slackening a little. The entire team looked at Arthur and burst out laughing. Arthur looked at the Team to make sense of what had happened.

“No we are not,” he said. Needing to explain. and continued.

“Our team is at Silverplate level. If we want to call ourselves strong, we should at least be gold rank. If I had to evaluate our team, I would say above average at maximum.”

Arthur began to wonder if this group was above average. What would the really strong ones be like?

The team had to take a forced break. The tiger had to be skinning and its precious piece had to be removed. The Minotaur took out the knife from his waist and began to skin the animal.

The other members of the team sat under a tree and waited for Bill to finish the job. “Everyone on the team had some responsibilities and things they were good at,” Arthur thought.

“How are these plates issued?” said Arthur.

“The guild tests the adventurers and gives out plates based on their power level,” he said.

“Teams with silver plates are where adventurers are usually level 20-30. Our team is one of them,” he continued.

“And how many levels do you have?” Arthur asked after some thought.

The team turned and looked at Arthur. The atmosphere fell silent as if someone was indiscreetly asking a question they shouldn't have asked.

“It is quite rude to ask for someone's level, others may be perceived as hostile, and don't tell your level to anyone you don't really trust, it's like telling people your weakness",” Mefzar said, knowing he was asking because he didn't know.

Arthur nodded, indicating that he understood.

Askar said indifferently, "I'm a 21 level swordmaster, don't spread it around, man. “To soften the atmosphere.

Elda “23 level Mage”

“22 level wizard” gesturing to Drakis

Mefzar said "25 level archer"

Minotaur was also slurring conversations. “I am also the strongest 20 level warrior,” he said. He seemed proud of himself.

Arthur thought of the level he had earned as a survivor. They all said only one level. Can people only level one field? He turned to ask

“I leveled 2 levels as a survivor, won't I be able to win the level in another field?” he asked anxiously.

His ignorance had once again made the team laugh.

“No, we only said the highest levels. For example, I am also a level 9 Cook,” said Elda and continued.” But it's not a good thing to level up in too many areas, it gets pretty hard for high levels too.”

“For that, everyone levels up in a few helpful subjects and rejects the others,” said Elda.

“Reject”

"Yes, you can choose not to receive level if you want, just think you don't want it when you sleep, it's automatically canceled, but you can't delete the level that has already been taken," said Elda.

Arthur paused and tried to collect his thoughts, digesting his newly acquired information.

Meanwhile, he could not see any part of the animal except its internal organs.

“Let's move on. It would be great if we find their hiding places today.” Mefzar said.

Everyone nodded, and they set off. They continued towards the flow of the stream.

After ten minutes, Mefzar must have seen something, so they paused. “They continued from here,” Mefzar said, pointing in the direction with his hand.

The group continued for another hour. They were passing through not very dense woodland. The tracks came out into a slight clearing. A fire was lit in the middle of the field. “ They camped here,” Mefzar said.

It was starting to get a little dark. "Let's camp here, we'll continue tomorrow," said Mefzar. Everyone got to work at once. Arthur just stood there. "How can I help," he said, not wanting to be a burden to the group.

Elda said, "Gather wood it will be needed for the fire."

Arthur began to search the places for wood. After the gathering of one bushel, he went to the place where the fire was lit.

He thought “these would be enough”.

Meanwhile, the team had set up tents.

Elda lit the fire with a spell and took from Bill the flesh of the tiger they had killed.

Arthur thought, "I think there's tiger meat for dinner."

He wanted to check if he could feel the mana using the method Elda had said while the meal was being prepared.

He sat on the ground and closed his eyes. He felt like a meditating monk. He tried to send his will around him. At first, nothing happened, then he slowly started to feel something. It was a very strange feeling. It was as if he was surrounded by invisible water. He raised his hand upwards. Water-like The thing was not restricting his movements. When his hand moved, it was as if the water in front of him suddenly disappeared and reappeared right behind him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Elda looking at him.

She seemed to understand that he could sense mana. She had a surprised expression on her face “You felt it on the first try It took me a week”

“Is that a good thing?” said Arthur hesitantly.

"Is it a good thing? It's a great thing! It shows that you are very prone to mana," she said, looking excitedly as if she had found a diamond waiting to be polished.

Elda took out a book from her enchanted pouch and said "Congratulations"

Arthur took the book, realizing it was a leather-covered book. It had the words 'Foundations of Sorcery Andrew Lucton' on it. He opened the book and was about to start reading when he heard Elda's voice.

“A new mage has joined us!” he shouted to the rest of the group. Mages were rare. The team was witnessing the birth of a new mage. And a mage aged 23 years, it would usually be obvious if people around 13-14 years old were prone to Mage. It was extremely rare for a 23-year-old to become a mage.

"This is news to celebrate, hahaha," said Askar, taking a bottle out of his pouch

“You just looking for an excuse to get drunk,” Darkis muttered, and turning to Arthur,

“Congratulations, Arthur, welcome to the club.”

They all sat around the fire. Arthur gets a glimpse of what kind of life adventurers had. They are always ready to sleep in open and dangerous places but they find joy and friendship in those places. and when people suffer together they build strong bonds.

They talk about how their ex-missions went wrong. How Askar loses all his money to a scammer in some city. Arthur laughs too. with them. and forget about being a different and dangerous place for a bit.

Then they start to decide who is going to look out for the night.They schedule a plan for the night,

"You can use my place for sleep with bill's tent," Askar said.

"thank you," Arthur said.

Arthur noticed a weird smile on Askar's face.Then went tent for sleep.

When he has fallen sleep

[Mage Level 1]

[Mana Sense Skill gained]

Arthur proceeds to sleep with a smile on his face
