Runes swirled around my hand, glowing and moving around a bracelet. The bracelet itself was at this moment atop a magic circle which attracted the runes towards the bracelet.

My entire focus at this moment was on the bracelet and the runes surrounding it. I did not want to fail once again.

This was already the third time I was trying this process. I had spend more than a week trying to perfect the process and how I implemented it.

Slowly but surely, the runes started entering the bracelet and the blue gem on it started glowing as a result. Soon all the runes entered the bracelet and the gem on the bracelet gave a bright blue glow as if confirming the process was complete.

I gave a sigh of relief as I finally received success as a fruit of my efforts. I had finally made my first enchanted artefact.

Previously, whenever I tried to finish the enchantment, I failed to align the runes properly leading to failure.

Although I had completed the enchantment, the bracelet could not be called a proper artefact. After all it had only a basic shield enchantment.

It had been a month since I had returned from Ta Lo and since then I had made great in my mystic art studies.

Putting the bracelet on my arm, I activated it to check how powerful it was. The bracelet created a shimmering blue coloured shield in front of me.

I put my index finger on the shield and started pressing it, increasing my strength slowly. Soon, as a result, the shield broke as it was unable to withstand my strength.

It seems that the shield was quite sturdy given that the strength I had used was more than enough to shatter a boulder.

Unfortunately, this artefact was of no use to me. Not only could I create more sturdier barriers, I could also easily withstand the amount of strength it could defend against.

I think I should gift it to Gwen. As she often faced danger as Spider Woman, this bracelet can serve as an extra means of protection for her.

Speaking of Gwen, I wonder how she is doing. I hope she has taken my advice and made at least a few friends. Otherwise without me, it would definitely be quite a lonely life for her.

Satisfied by my progress in the field of enchantment, I went out to practice my mystic arts. Soon, I had reached the library.

“Greetings, Master Wong.” I greeted Master Wong as usual.

“Here to enter the Mirror Dimension as usual?” Master Wong asked.

As I nodded my head in affirmative, Master Wong created the portal to the Mirror Dimension.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Now that my instincts were not as wild as before and my powers were more controllable, I did not require daily training from the Ancient One.

As I had not learned yet how to enter the Mirror Dimension, Ancient One had asked Master Wong to create the portal to the Mirror Dimension whenever I needed to practice my mystic arts as my powers were quite destructive.

Moreover, Master Wong guided me whenever Ancient One was busy. As such, it could be said that Master Wong was my second master at Kamar Taj.

Entering the Mirror Dimension, I slammed my hand on the ground and slowly several boulders appeared from the ground.

What I had used now was a basic Earth spell. It could be seen from the speed of the formation of boulders that I was not well versed in earth spells.

Although I had some affinity for Earth spells, it was not that much so I had not focused much on them.

After boulders appeared on the ground, I floated them using a telekinetic spell. I floated them around for a few moments but then I got bored.

So, I did something for which anyone would find me insane. I hurtled them towards myself!

But not a single boulder touched me as I created a shield to protect myself. Then I once again hurtled boulders towards myself.

But this time, instead of creating a shield, I created a giant baseball bat shaped energy construct and hit them as if I was playing baseball.

As I watched a boulder fly far away, I believe I made a homerun.

I had made quite a progress in my spells as I continued practicing. Seeing my speed in learning, it was no wonder that Ancient One said I was almost ready to be a proper sorcerer from an apprentice.

Now it was time for some special training. I floated some boulders once again but instead of using them for target practice, I put them down on the ground in an almost random manner.

It was now time to practice that unique mystic art, Thunderclap and Flash.

I took a unique posture and red lightning started emitting from my body. A significant amount of it was being emitted from my legs.

As I used Thunderclap and Flash, I became a red streak of lightning. I moved at an unprecedented speed as the sound of thunder rang behind me.

I quickly moved towards where I had placed the boulders. I maneuvered around them, sometimes even bouncing atop them causing them to shatter.

Soon, after I had moved by around 10 boulders, I was unable to stop my momentum. As another boulder appeared before me, I turned my hands into claws and smashed into it. I pierced through it as if it was not even there.

It seems that the smashing of the boulder slowed down my momentum enough that I was able to stop myself.

When Master Zenitsu had created Thunderclap and Flash, he had referenced Iaijutsu. It was often used for a single, ultimate attack.

This mystic art required channelling the lightning attribute magical energy through one’s body in a special manner by using the martial arts of Ta Lo, mostly through one’s legs to move at an unprecedented speed.

The channelling of magical energy through one’s body and the lightning attribute was what had been the obstacles for the sorcerers who had tried to learn it before.

Even if someone had a lightning attribute, he would have to go to Ta Lo to train in mystic martial arts before he can even start learning this mystic art. On the other hand, the lightning attribute was known for its powerful spells. As such, no one was interested in learning this mystic art because it required just too much hassle.

However, Thunderclap and Flash was not that beneficial to me yet as I could not use it with my wings.

To do it, I would have to modify the mystic art which I could not do at my current level.

I was about to again start my practice when I suddenly received a signal that I needed to come out of Mirror Dimension.

This signal was something that I had discussed beforehand with Master Wong. As soon as the signal came, following it a portal appeared before me.

After I entered the portal, I could not believe the scene before my eyes.

Bells were ringing everywhere in Kamar Taj and various apprentices were moving around hurriedly.

Just what had happened while I was in the Mirror Dimension.
