A new day appeared on the horizon at the moment when the sun appeared on the horizon like every morning.
The inhabitants of the city were getting up to start a new day, and the capital was beginning to wake up.
In the very center of the capital stood an imposing castle surrounded by thick stone walls that silently watched the sunrise.
Highly concentrated soldiers patrolled around the castle in a coordinated manner to ensure the safety of its residents.
In one of the rooms of the castle, the sun's rays filter through the curtains and inspect the room. One of those rays of light hit the figure with closed eyes sitting on top of the bed.

The familiar sound of the door interrupted Zack from the trance in which he had immersed himself while he was meditating.
As always Zack finished his meditation and began to prepare for a new day.
It's been over a month since Zack and his companions were summoned to this world, which means it's been two weeks since he learned the first spell from him, and things haven't changed much.
Zack spends the day in the library, and it should be mentioned that the progress he makes each day never ceases to amaze him. In the afternoons his routine changed; while before Zack continued reading books, now Zack prefers to retire to his room to learn and practice new spells. Finally, at night Zack replaced sleep with a meditation session to accumulate mana.
His growth has been remarkable.
Seven spells. Zack has learned seven spells in these two weeks. In addition to perfectly controlling most of them, Zack noticed that his memorization skill had finally gone up to level 3.
Another detail that Zack noticed is that endurance reached ten points. Zack noticed the change instantly.
He suddenly felt in better shape, and certain things that used to exhaust him now only make him a little tired. That made Zack realize the importance of physical attributes in this world. Even so, he has no intention of training his body, at least for the moment.
First of all, although training the body is important, they are magic users, at this stage, they should focus solely on increasing their mana.
A master martial arts magician is weaker than a warrior with little training. His classes focus on completely different points.
Although it is not all good news.
At this time Albert began to teach them basic spells, and although Zack already knew that the teachings of a combat magician could be unbalanced, he didn't imagine that they would reach such a point.
While he went to the dining room to have breakfast, Zack began to remember the last class with Albert:
…
“What are you supposed to be doing?!” Albert yelled at Austin.
Zack and the others were in one of the training grounds inside the castle. The four of them were sitting on the floor in a corner of the room trying to cast a spell.
"What?" Austin asked confused.
“What do you mean what? You are moving the mana in the opposite direction! To use the summoning water spell it should be like this” Albert said as he raised his hand.
“What do you mean I have to move mana 'like this'? Do you think I can see how you move mana in your body? Austin said in exasperation as he tried again.
"No! You're doing it wrong. You have to concentrate your senses to feel how I move the mana, otherwise, you won't learn” Albert said as he continued with his hand raised.

The other three continued to focus on guiding the mana to cast the spell while ignoring Albert and Austin, who seemed to be about to start an argument.
Zack, Shun, and Miyu already knew about Albert's unreliable teaching method from the previous class. The reason why Austin only realized it now, was because the first spell Albert taught them was 'spark'. Being a fire mage, Austin had no problem learning a tier 0 fire spell.
By the way, the others think that Austin's class is 'Flame Mage', a tier 2 fire magic class, and the direct evolution of fire mage, so no one has any doubts about Austin's learning speed. of the spell 'spark'
"Bad again! How many times do I have to tell you to get it right?!
"I'm the one doing wrong?!"
Hearing the screams of those two, Zack, Shun, and Miyu, they looked at each other and sighed.
...
Zack sighed again.
During this time, Albert taught them two tier 0 spells: Spark and Summoning Water.
Considering his experience on the battlefield, it's normal for him to favor spells that are useful there.
The Spark spell is an elemental spell that allows you to generate a small flame. On the other hand, the summoning water spell belongs to the summoning category. Its function is to bring the person responsible for the spell a small amount of water from another place, such as a waterfall or a lake.
There are hundreds of tier 0 spells in the library, and unfortunately, Zack doesn't have time to learn them all, so he has to analyze each spell carefully before wasting his time instead of trying to learn a spell whose utility is situational.
Both spells are extremely useful, and Zack has no problem learning them. The problem is that Albert's teaching method is… instinctive.
No matter how well Albert knows a spell, his ability to pass it on is nil.
It's like those super strong characters in comics that when they teach another they say things like: "You have to go 'Puah' and then 'Phiu' and that's it"
Zack, Shun, and Miyu spent two hours trying to decipher Albert's teachings when they learned the spark spell, before giving up and learning on his own. Fortunately, Zack and his classmates are accelerated learners, otherwise, they'd still be trying to make sense of what Albert says.
During this time Zack has noticed some gifts regarding his unusual growth concerning his class.
Zack and his companions will quickly learn whatever abilities his class should have:
All four of them are magic classes so the ability to absorb mana and control it is something that all of their classes should know about. That is why Zack can quickly learn tier 0 spells, which is something any tier 1 Mage should have no problem with.
One of the most important things Zack has discovered these days is that learning spells is different from learning abilities.
Unlike abilities, spells are much easier to learn. Examples of this are the Mana Control ability and the Magic Hand spell.
It took Zack a couple of hours to learn the spell, while it took him all night to learn how to control the hand. Likewise, despite practicing every day he still hasn't been able to master the mana control skill, one of the basic skills of a magician, which every experienced magician should master.
Zack fully learned the magic hand spell in three days.
When he approached the breakfast table, Zack greeted his companions and began to eat.
Since they came to this world, with the exception of the banquet on the first day, the food has been relatively humble compared to what they used to eat in their world. Despite everything, he expressly took care of the people in the palace so that they did not go hungry.
While the others were chatting among themselves, Zack glanced at his status screen.

Zack hasn't been slacking off. Ever since he came here he has been the pinnacle of efficiency.
Seeing his progress, Zack couldn't help but feel a little proud.
While they were having breakfast, a servant suddenly entered the room. Zack and the rest of her gazed at her.
The servant approached and said something that left the four surprised.
Albert wanted to see them.
