"Haahhh…" Leon released a bit of a painful groan while massaging his head. His body was full of sweat but gave off a pleasant smell. If anyone entered his room at this time, they would smell musk.

This is the effect of the training that Leon has. Over time, this practice will change a little of the Mana used and produce a fragrance that will help the brain and relieve a little of the burden.

"The effect of this magic technique is amazing." Leon could feel the changes brought by this technique. His strength had increased greatly even though he had not yet stepped into the Tier 1 Magus realm.

Leon slowly got up and stretched his body. He had been sitting and practicing for 5 days without stopping and his body had become stiff.

"You can come in now," Leon spoke to the Maid who had been waiting for him outside.

Bella immediately came in and knelt down to Leon. Her hands were shaking as she handed Leon a box.

Leon could see something was different about the maid in front of him. She was different from Annabel who was emotionless. From her eyes and body, he could tell that Bella felt afraid now.

"This is a gift from Master to you. Master would like to convey to you that this is compensation and an apology from Master."

Leon took the box and opened it. Inside, there is a vial with a gray liquid. Leon saw it and knew what gift Balak had given him.

"Elixirs. A magical potion that is said to cure all diseases, and restore lost limbs."

Actually, this statement is a little too excessive. Elixir at this level is only able to cure all diseases below tier 3, resisting the effects of tier 4 magical powers.

Leon looked at it for a while and kept it in his room which was in the babel domain.

So this is the sincerity you show, Balak. Leon looked at Bella who was kneeling in front of him in fear. Seeing as Bella was assigned to serve him and not Annabel, she was most likely dead.

Leon is not stupid. Even though Annabel didn't show any expression and always had a straight face, Leon could tell that she was investigating him secretly. Even when he was training, the feeling of someone probing him was strong and he could tell it was Annabel.

Balak sacrificed Annabel as a scapegoat to investigate me. This way, he could get away with the trouble of sacrificing an insignificant servant to test the waters.

Leon didn't mind as long as Balak didn't take direct action. He would turn a blind eye and not take the matter any further because it was unnecessary.

And as for Annabel's death?

Leon didn't care. After all, he didn't know Annabel. He was just a servant assigned by Balak to watch over him and was used as a scapegoat.

From the start, Leon wasn't a good person and he wasn't a Saint either. Be it in his old world or the new world, he already knew that he was different from others.

"Go. Tell Balak that I accept his hospitality."

"As you wish, sir" Bella got up and immediately left the room.

Leon didn't say anything and went to clean his body.

Even though she had the fragrance of musk, it was too obvious and would attract attention if she went out.

"How is the result? Did previous learning help you?"

"Very helpful father. Some of the questions I had were answered and I actually felt completely different than before. As if…"

"It's as if the magic taught by the teacher is different from what this world has."

Balak nodded listening to Felix's words. He did not deny it at all and even agreed with the statement. As a 7-ring Magus, Balak was even more aware of this matter. Because of that, he immediately reconsidered the relationship that would be formed between the Betlam and Leon families.

"Okay, let's move on to the next training." Balak took out a pen and gave it to Felix. "Before that, explain the basis of the Betlam family."

"The basis of the betlam family is the application of magic using language as a medium for releasing mana. The Betlam family's orientation is darkness elements and a focus on magic formations."

"Show it"

Felix nodded and used the Pen his father gave him. He quickly formed the word 'sword' in the air as if space was paper to him.

A sword with a black color appeared in the air and was in a static state. Felix who saw it wrote several of the same 'sword' words and the result remained unchanged.

After a while, Felix stopped writing. The mana in his body had been exhausted and only 30% remained.

30 black swords floated in the air, not moving an inch.

"The mana capacity you have still hasn't changed but how you utilize the magic you have has changed." Balak was impressed to see 30 perfectly formed black swords.

"The knowledge you have has grown so far in just a few days."

"Mr.Leon taught me many things. Even though I only asked 5 questions, from those questions, Mr. Leon taught me everything I needed." Felix was also happy to see the 30 swords he had created.

Previously, even if he could form the same number of swords, not many could be formed perfectly.

"Very good. We will continue with other words. This time, don't be afraid to spend the Mana you have." Balak handed Felix a potion to restore his Mana.

After several hours, Felix continued his practice and wrote various words until he was exhausted. Even with all the power he had, he was only able to add 5 words with all his Mana.

Balak, who watched from start to finish, could only sigh softly. 'This kid's talent is too terrifying. He was even able to form his fourth ring.'

A 5 year old boy with 4 rings? This is unheard of in history. In fact, according to Balak himself, this is too much.

Vienna Hall will be very interested in this, but I promise them that Felix will reach the 5-ring Magus stage at the age of 9.

Felix seemed to think for a moment while looking at his father. Although he was hesitant at first, he began to gain courage. "Father, I feel that I can already form the fourth ring if I wish."

"I know. I can already see that you can already. But I suggest that you refrain from doing this."

"No Dad. I don't want to say that I want to form a fourth ring." Felix shook his head. "I feel that I am being held back by our family's methods."

"At first I didn't really notice it. But when I studied with Mr. Leon, I felt that what I had was not located and focused on the dark elements and formations that the Betlam family was skilled at. But something else."

Felix had felt this feeling ever since he relearned what Leon taught him. This feeling became increasingly clear when he tried to train the magic techniques owned by the Betlam family.

It was as if his consciousness was telling him that what he was doing was a waste of the time he had.

Balak was silent listening to his youngest son's words. He exerted his magic and wrote complicated words in an unknown language. The pitch black words disappeared right after Balak finished writing them. The whole process only takes three seconds to do that.

A book with a cover like a light blue crystal floating in the air. The book does not have any title, even when it is opened it does not display any contents or content.

Balak took the book in his hand. He looked at Felix while saying with a small smile.

"What you feel is a phenomenon called self-premonition."

"Self premonition?"

"Correct. A magus's sense of self would only be unlocked when one surpassed the 9 ring stage and reached the state of self-understanding. This is a phenomenon that you will encounter when you train, study, or research magic that is contradictory or not in accordance with your constitution or talents."

"Normally, this cannot happen to a Magus who has not surpassed the 9-ring stage. However, in certain cases, a person can also recognize that something is wrong with him, such as wearing clothes that do not suit him. One of them is because his talent is so great."

"There are also many ways developed in this world to experience this phenomenon even though they are not perfect."

"Then, what should I do?"

Balak smiled at his son's question. He handed the book in his hand to Felix. "There's a good chance that what you feel has something to do with what your eyes have."

"Father does not have much knowledge in the field of observing and investigating karma. But that doesn't mean that this world doesn't have them. One of the things our family has is this book."

Felix received the book in confusion. This was the second time he heard the term karma. First from Leon and second from his father.

"Father, what exactly is karma?"

"You don't need to know for this matter. Until we can find a suitable practice, continue practicing with our family magic techniques. Father will look for a suitable magic technique for you in the future."

"For now, just stop here." Balak let Felix go to his room and let Bella who had been waiting outside come in.

Bella first knelt to Balak and conveyed Leon's message. After that he let Bella go.

"It seems I'll have to look at Vienna Hall."
