The following day at school, Teacher Julie addressed the students. She announced that it was time for them to choose their career paths: becoming a mage or a warrior. As the students divided into two groups, Ace found himself standing in the middle, torn between the two options.

Intrigued, Ace raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, can I choose both? Can I pursue both mage and warrior skills?"

Teacher Julie hesitated for a moment before responding, "While it's theoretically possible to cultivate both mage and warrior talents, it's not advisable. Cultivating both talents at the same time can be challenging, as they require synchronization. Moreover, human lifespans are limited, and trying to balance both talents can lead to conflicts within your body if they don't have an equal distribution of strange energy."

Ace pondered her words, considering whether to reveal his unique situation. If he disclosed the fact that he possessed more than just three E-rank talents, he might gain access to additional resources and guidance. With this thought in mind, Ace decided to share a secret with Teacher Julie.

"Teacher Julie," Ace began, "I have been working on something that might help. I've compiled a book with methods for cultivating both mage and warrior talents. However, before I proceed, I'd like you to review it and ensure its effectiveness."

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

He handed Teacher Julie the book he had copied, detailing the cultivation techniques for becoming a Magic Swordsman. Teacher Julie accepted the book, curiosity piqued. As she perused its contents, her expression gradually shifted from skepticism to intrigue.

With her endorsement, Teacher Julie decided to conclude the day's lessons early. "Class is dismissed for today. You may all pursue your interests and studies as you see fit."

[Ace was determined to keep his unique talents a closely guarded secret. He understood the dangers that could arise if the world knew what he was capable of. If word got out, powerful and unscrupulous individuals might seek to exploit his abilities, endangering his family.

Ace knew that the safety of his loved ones depended on his discretion. He was acutely aware that if his extraordinary talents were exposed, his family could become targets. Kidnapping, coercion, and threats could be used to force him to produce valuable cultivation resources against his will.

Therefore, Ace made a conscious decision to remain discreet about the full extent of his capabilities. He understood the importance of maintaining a low profile until he was certain of his own strength. Ace wouldn't reveal more than necessary, even to his family, until he was confident in his abilities.

Ace was aware that Allie's pet Phoenix and his own Dragon had become suspicious. They were intelligent creatures and seemed to sense that their young masters possessed something extraordinary. However, Ace was careful not to divulge the full scope of his talents, protecting both himself and his loved ones from potential harm.]
