Anna was very excited while casting the spell she had just memorized onto the mana power bank she was holding. Because of the spell that her brother cast that allowed mages to memorize spells in a small amount of time, she felt that she would be able to increase her wizard level extremely faster than normal.

The fact that her brother was so abnormal to stay in their room for a whole day to practice magic, which was probably the reason why Anton became so powerful so fast, was a blessing since that meant that whenever he was in the room, the ability to memorize spells faster than normal would be available to her every day.

She saw that even Frederick was taking advantage of the situation and even though the prohibition of going out of their room because of the ghosts' attacks had been lifted, the both of them chose to stay in the room to memorize and cast spells.

One huge advantage that she and Frederick would face was because Anton was so obsessed with practicing his wizardry, her brother told them that he would always practice his magic in his room starting after breakfast until two or three in the afternoon every day. That meant that when they wanted to practice their magic, they just needed to return to their rooms during those hours and the ability to memorize spells in a short amount of time would be available to them. Since it was every day if Anna did not feel like practicing her magic or on a schedule to do something else like attend a magic class or meet with her friends to explore the entertainment venues on the ship, she could just skip that day and then return to practicing her magic the next day.

Anna even felt that there might be a chance that before her family left the ship after the journey ended, she would reach the Archmage status or at the very least the High Wizard status. Of course, she knew deep down inside, based on what her mage friends and teachers told her, that it was simply not possible.

Anton did become very powerful in a short amount of time though so she was not discounting that possibility since he was her brother and the same blood flowed through her.

While memorizing her spell, she began to imagine how it would feel to be respected wherever she went simply because she reached archmage status at such a young age. She was only twelve so there was a huge chance to accomplish that just like her brother. Anna was imagining so hard that she failed to memorize her spell and encountered a minor backlash so she needed to rest for a few minutes before starting again.

After lunch, Anna saw that Anton returned to his wizardry so she returned to practice her wizardry as well and saw that Frederick was the same but after an hour, she felt bored and tired so she decided to quit for the day.

Anna decided to go to Wizard Hall and try to meet with her friends. For protection, one of the female bodyguards that their father hired followed her.

When she reached the Wizard Hall, she saw her friends gathered at one of the tables drinking something and talking about what happened.

“Anna, you're finally here?! What took you so long?” Gertrude asked.

Gertrude was one of the female mages that she befriended.

“I was practicing my magic. What are you guys doing?”

“We’re discussing the ghosts that attacked the ship. I’m just so glad that it was over. I was supposed to attend a class today but it was canceled,” Rinera said who was also one of Anna’s new mage friends.

“One of the ghosts attacked us but my brother killed it immediately. After that, I saw the Supreme Wizard Numinor appear in our rooms. He was supposed to fight it off with the ghost but since my brother killed it already, the supreme wizard and my brother just talked. I couldn’t move while the supreme wizard was there. I can feel his overwhelming power!” Anna said to her friends who were listening to her with wide eyes.

“Your brother is so powerful! He’s already an archmage at such a young age which is extremely rare. When can I reach that level?” One of the girls said.

Anna still found her friends a bit weird. Back in her village, she saw and heard the older girls talking and they almost always talked about boys, clothes, accessories, and gossip about the other villagers which mostly consisted of relationship problems. She and her wizard friends discussed the same thing but they never discussed boys. When she asked about it curiously, they told her that boys were just distractions in their pursuit of wizardry power.

All the mages that she encountered, even the young ladies, only had one thing in their mind. How to increase their wizardly level. When they found someone they liked, they would only be distracted for a short time then they would immediately return to their wizardly pursuit especially if they noticed that their peers were pulling ahead.

That meant that even though they all said that her brother was young and handsome, the only thing on their mind was respect for how he became very powerful at such a young age. When Anna asked them what they thought about having a boyfriend, since all of them were nobles, they all said that had brothers and sisters and that they were the ones who would fulfill the family obligations of securing the family wealth through marriages. The only responsibility they had for their family was to increase their power as soon as possible.

The power of the mages in the families was considered the true backbone of the family and that meant that their family would not care about the person they would choose to be with as long as their power increased.

Anna's situation was different. Since her family was only her father and brother and they were not really nobles, they did not expect her to become the family’s backbone. They only wanted her to be happy.

She knew that when they reached the city they would stay in, she would probably have two sets of friends. One set would be mages and the other one would be regular people since that would allow her to talk about mundane things.

During a pause in one of their discussion, Anna briefly went and bought food from the concierge in the hall since she was hungry and by the looks of it, her friends already finished eating. She saw her bodyguard eating and was impressed again at how professional the two bodyguards her father hired. They were so discreet that she almost always forgot their presence. When she tried to befriend them, they always talked to her using one word or at best small phrases so she gave up soon.

The next topic they discussed was the movies but their focus was still on the magic system in the movies. They kept discussing how to determine how powerful the elves and wizards in the Lord of the Rings were and their awe of how long-lived the elves were. In the Titanic film, they talked about how mundane people live and how to save themselves using magic in case the ship sank.

Anna then talked about her brother’s plan of putting them on top of hoverboards in case something like the Titanic happened on their ship.
