Leon was silent and didn't comment on anything. The answer given by the shadow secret manual was enough for him to shut his mouth and not ask any further.
The book continues. "And as for why only I have the qualifications to answer you, it is because I, The secret manual of shadows: cultivation of limitless potential, was created after one of the subordinates of the supreme master of the Tower of Babel gained inspiration and attempted to replicate one of the legacies."
"Even though the results weren't exactly what he expected, the knowledge I have does have similarities to the legacy of the master of the magic tower of Babel."
"That is enough. I understand." Leon grabbed the book in front of him ordering all the other books to return to their places.
Even though it couldn't completely replicate the legacy of the supreme leader of the Magic Tower of Babel, what this manual had was enough for Leon.
He had no more hope that one day the legacy of the supreme leader of the magic tower of Babel would give his inheritance to him. It was an extremely absurd fantasy that Leon didn't dare to think about.
"For now, this is enough." Leon was currently alone in a quiet room with a book in his hands.
"Tell me what I need to practice based on this manual. Even if I can't accommodate the knowledge you have, I at least need to prepare what's needed."
The book was silent for a moment before responding. "At the basic level, you already have what you need. Even though the constitution you have is not the same as the constitution of my creator, that will only affect how fast the development you will have." The book radiated light and brought three books from the 1st floor. "This is what you need."
Leon looked at three Basic level books. 2 of them are supporting manuals and the last one is Magic Techniques.
With this, my goal has been achieved. Leon was happy with this result and let the knowledge flow into his head. The process was still painful but not as severe as when he gained knowledge regarding basic-level magic and mana.
"Tower master, this is the limit you currently have. Until you reach a Tier 2 magus, you better not absorb any more knowledge from the magic tower of Babel. Otherwise, your soul will not be able to survive and will be destroyed without a trace."
Leon clicked his tongue, understanding what the book was saying. "I know."
Leon sat up and exhaustion showed in his eyes. He really wanted to sleep for now and not think about anything else. "For now, you can go to the 5th floor."
After saying that, Leon disappeared from the Babel Domain. The book floating in front of Leon looked happy even though it had no expressions or feelings. "As you wish, sir."
***
Leon returned to his room in the Betlam mansion. His body was fine but for some reason, Leon didn't have the slightest bit of energy and his eyes looked very heavy. After a while, He fell asleep without the slightest disturbance.
Leon woke up after sleeping for several hours. He wasn't used to sleeping for too long and had a habit of waking up early. He had always done this since he almost died on Mount Everest.
Without saying anything, Leon sat cross-legged and started to practice the magic techniques he got from the library of the magic tower of Babel.
Basic magic techniques: the basis of the quest for perfection.
"The first requirement to practice this technique is that one must master Mana breathing. Gathering all the mana in the body quickly and changing the body on all sides and setting the foundation for achieving perfection." Leon began to carry out this magic technique based on the knowledge he had.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
This is a strange and complicated technique because the most important requirement for this technique is that the user must be able to multitask while practicing this technique. The creator stated that this technique almost touched the threshold of basic level knowledge in the magic tower of Babel and had already exceeded it in certain cases.
The only reason why it exists at the basic level is the limitations set by the creator of this technique. Only by moving on to the next technique which was at the intermediate level would this problem be resolved.
Leon frowned and clicked his tongue. His head started throbbing after he stopped practicing this technique. "Tsk, failed. I haven't even reached one cycle yet. This was quite complicated because I simultaneously had to adjust 3 processes and do them simultaneously."
'The biggest problem is, this training will be useless as long as I don't complete the 10 cycles to the end. I also can't use the support manual for this technique until I become a tier 1 Magus.' Leon sighed helplessly. For him, it wasn't difficult to become a tier 1 Magus. All he needed was time and he would naturally become a tier 1 Magus within a few months just by breathing.
He could also become a tier 1 magus in one day by relying on Mana breathing, but that would only kill him. In addition, this technique is not executed by Leon but is carried out by himself until Leon has enough strength.
But without adequate techniques, the foundation he had would be so low that Leon refused to rely solely on Mana Breathing. Moreover, mana breathing is a support manual, not a technique designed to be trained.
"Reaching magus tier 1 is the same as forming 3 rings using this world's standards. With the difficulty of this technique, the fastest I can reach tier 1 is within a month." Leon calculated in his head with variables that out of the ten trials he did, at least once he could complete 10 cycles perfectly.
Still too slow. Fortunately, this technique does not carry any danger while practicing it.
Leon quickly regained his mind and restarted this repetitive cycle. Every time he failed, Leon would review what the problem was and start over while trying not to repeat the mistakes he made. At this point, basic knowledge of magic and mana showed its very good influence on Leon.
He could easily understand the techniques he practiced. The essence of this technique wasn't anything complicated for Leon and he caught the gist of it easily. The more he practiced it, the more he understood this technique. So the mistakes he made were greatly reduced even though they still happened several times.
Of course, this is not because he is a genius. Leon doesn't even have any talent in the field of magic or any special talents that are special to him. Not having a special constitution or being born with a special body or constitution.
He was just an ordinary man before he became the leader of the Tower of Babel. Someone with experience that couldn't even be compared to those who might have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Leon knew that and never complained about the talent he had. He just needed to do his best to become more and stronger, roaming the stars and the universe one day. Witnessing something and experiencing new experiences is very interesting to him.
Before he knew it, the night had passed.
"It's refreshing." Leon took a deep breath and stretched his body. He almost couldn't hold back his smile feeling something he could never understand in his previous world.
"Maybe the fantasy I had before wasn't just a fantasy after all." Leon chuckled while thinking about the memories of his friends who hoped that Leon would find his own happiness.
Does he get it now? Will his life in the future be interesting?
Who knows. As the system said, it was all subjective and only Leon himself could determine what interested him.
Knock…knock…knock…
The sound of a knock on the door caught Leon's attention. Outside, Leon heard a familiar voice. "Mr. Constantine, I Annabel ask permission to enter the room."
"Come in."
The door opened and revealed a beautiful maid wearing a maid outfit. Although not as beautiful as the Alice he met before, she could also be said to be a beautiful woman. It's just that her face is expressionless and no emotions can be felt from Annabel.
The servant bowed slightly, She immediately conveyed the message her master had. "The head of the family invites you to join us for breakfast together. If you wish, I will directly guide you. But if you refuse, I will convey it to the head of the family and convey a message if you wish to leave a message."
Leon was silent for a moment hearing that and immediately nodded. "I appreciate the kindness of the Betlam family head. I'll come along as soon as I go shower. You can wait outside."
"Understood." Annabel immediately turned around and walked out. She closed the door and stood outside without asking or complaining.
Outside, Annabel waited for Leon who was taking a shower. She didn't say anything and obediently waited for Leon outside. After waiting for thirty minutes, She saw a boy heading towards her.
Annabel immediately bowed. "Third young master. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Felix looked at Annabel with his eyes and several scenes immediately flashed through his mind. Soon, he lost interest in Annabel and looked at the room behind Annabel.
"Is my teacher in there?"
