The days passed like someone enjoying coffee in the evening. Even if you enjoy it little by little, the coffee will run out without you realizing it.

That's how Leon's day has been going lately. After he returned to his room, Leon immediately practiced and didn't waste any time. Every day he would only practice magic techniques and never leave his room.

Nothing bothered him. Felix even suddenly told Leon to postpone the study time to the end of the month.

Leon of course didn't reject it. After all, he was getting paid and this was good because he could train in peace.

It didn't take long for Leon to feel drastic changes taking place in his body. While practicing this technique, the process went smoothly, and not many obstacles occurred.

Even if he fails at some point, Leon will quickly find out where he went wrong and try not to do it again. Again and again, he repeated the process without end.

Up until this point, a strange and mystical feeling surrounded his entire body. All his efforts that started from ordinary people eventually developed and laid the foundation for the pursuit of perfection.

Leon sucked in a breath with everything he had. An endless stream of mana slowly entered his body, being refined in its purest form before flowing to three different places.

Body, soul, and consciousness.

3 basic things that humans have. Practicing the basics with the techniques that Leon practiced, the basis of the quest for perfection, Leon finally stepped into the mystical realm that only the Magus of Babel experienced.

Of the 10 tiers divided by the magic tower of Babel, Leon stepped into Tier 1.

There are no fancy effects or strange phenomena that occur. But Leon could feel a huge change deep inside him. Without realizing it, Leon felt a premonition and chanted the words without realizing it.

"perfection… What am I pursuing in achieving perfection? Strength may influence how a person experiences life, but strength is not perfect. Knowledge may influence how someone lives their life, but knowledge is not perfect. All have their own black holes, and imperfect blind spots. Therefore, a simple concept cannot be called perfection."

If you continue to practice and continue to increase your strength, in the end, it will only determine whether you live well or not.

If someone continues to learn and continues to learn, then what will change is just how someone will live their life.

Even if the two were combined, it would only be complementary but not perfect. In the end, this is just an illusion because the problem lies in neither of those things.

The problem is with the living creatures themselves.

Leon opened his eyes and felt the changes brought by this magic technique. This is not a simple change, it is more like an evolution.

Leon is still human, his appearance hasn't even changed much. But he could feel that his body had been cleansed of all the things that bothered him. His soul had changed and become purer, and his consciousness had become extremely solid.

His Six Senses were insanely enhanced and extremely sensitive but that didn't bother Leon at all. He felt that these were the senses he was born with and there was not a single feeling of discomfort.

"From now on, I can actively use Tier 1 magic." Leon took a deep breath and slowly got up. He smelled the fragrance of the room which was filled with musk fragrance that spread throughout the room.

His body even seemed to continuously produce various other fragrances that were in harmony with the fragrance of musk.

"Oh, he finally formed his fourth ring." Leon felt Felix's Mana churning in the air. Even when he tried to hide it, Leon could feel it clearly.

"It looks like Balak won't be happy for a while." Leon chuckled and went to the bathroom. He immediately soaked in the bath and enjoyed the quiet time he still had.

***

In his room, Balak saw the report brought by his slave.

"This is the result of the investigation you got?" Balak asked in a cold tone. He crumpled the paper and threw it into the trash.

It is a blank sheet of paper that is worth nothing.

"Even with all the power you have, you haven't got any information regarding Leonardo Constantine?" Balak said angrily while tapping his pen on the table.

B-01 immediately fell to his knees and did not dare to raise his head. Extreme fear filled him when he saw the Head of the Betlam family so angry.

He was very angry.

Even with all the resources given to him, he failed to search for information regarding Leonardo Constantine. No matter where he looked or how hard they tried, there was still no result.

As if the identity of Leonardo Constantine did not exist in this world.

"Master, should we continue searching?" B-01 asked while lowering his head.

He had failed but that didn't mean he had to stop. The reason he reported this to Balak was that all the information agencies and organizations that specialized in the information field in the Pendragon kingdom had no results.

He could have searched outside the Pendragon kingdom, but that would require permission from the head of the Betlam family.

"No need. If you act any more than this, we will really offend Leon and the organization behind him."

"As you wish, sir." B-01 was about to leave when he stopped for a moment. The feeling of someone forming a new ring shocked everyone in the Mansion.

Even Balak was surprised. "Felix, you formed your fourth ring?"

Balak immediately took out a crystal ball from his pocket. He wrote a few words in the air and the ball displayed all the rooms in the mansion.

He excluded only the room Leon was staying in. He didn't want to offend Leon any further and test the guy's lower limits.

It was enough that he made a small fuss because of his deliberate actions to investigate Leon. If he crossed the line like spying on him when He was staying in his room, I don't know what that person would do.

Balak immediately changed his perception to Felix's room. There Felix looked in pain with blood flowing from his eyes. He looked like he was in pain but didn't scream a single word.

Even though he looked in pain, Balak could hear Felix's laughter echoing in his room. "I did it… I really did it."

Felix touched the fourth ring he had with his blood-stained hand. Even when the maid assigned to look after him tried to treat his bleeding eyes, Feli didn't move an inch.

There Felix laughed loudly while looking at a black ring mixed with a strange gray color that shouldn't be there. He laughed and jumped up and down with joy like a child.

In the midst of the laughter, Felix lost consciousness and the maid serving him immediately shook with fear. They immediately rushed to provide treatment to Felix.

Balak immediately turned off the perception shown by the crystal ball. He seemed to be thinking hard and remembered the day when Felix suddenly asked his father to postpone his studies until the end of the month.

After that, he went to a room with a maid who always served him and never left there even to eat.

Balak initially didn't mind this and didn't ask many questions about it either.

"Even when I always observe him, a child will always hide something from his parents."

Knock…knock…knock…

"Sir, Mr. Constantine wants to see you."

Balak waved his hand and let Leon in.

"Mr. Balak, nice to meet you again. I must congratulate your son. Someone who was only 5 years old formed 4 rings, I was truly amazed when I saw the talent your son had."

"Thank you for the compliment. It would be better if you told that to my son directly." Balak said with a smile while looking at Leon's figure sitting in front of him.

Somehow he felt bad.

"Of course, the reason I'm here is not only to congratulate you, Mr. Balak. I came here with another purpose."

Leon held his wand while pointing towards one of the shadows that seemed to be hiding in the corner. Leon looked at Balak with a sly look. "It seems someone from your place couldn't cover his tracks properly."
