'Can you explain more about this technique in addition to the risks you mentioned earlier? Sounds interesting.'

'I can't explain more about it because it would be complicated and incomprehensible, as for the risks, from minor burns to paralysis and even death.'

Many swallowed their dry saliva after hearing the risks, the benefits are great, but the risks equalized the scale. All that remains is to look for ways and solutions to mitigate the damage and reduce the risks.

Maximus raised one finger to answer the question they had in mind.

'There is only one way to mitigate the damage and most of you may be able to succeed without even injuries.'

They were very curious to know this precious way to gain this golden egg.

'Efficient mana control. To be precise, it is precise mana control. I think most of you have enough qualifications since you've already reached this level.'

A sense of comfort followed by a sense of confusion about what this technique is for you to need all this careful control. Maximus interrupted the vortex of emotions by taking a book out of his dimensional storage and shaking it through the air.

'This is the book that contains the technique, I will give each of you a copy if you agree to the following conditions: It is strictly forbidden to leak the technique outside this circle, no one is allowed to learn it without my permission, when someone reaches the seventh rank in any field, he has the right to learn it. For your information, this technique is modified to contain a tracking spell that allows me to track your locations wherever you are which will help organize the battlefronts during the disaster and also prevent the leaking.'

The conditions were fair, it is his right to teach his technique to whomever he wanted and prevent it from whomever he wanted, no one had an objection to the conditions and everyone announced their agreement to them.

Maximus made a spell in his left hand, four rings superimposed on top of each other that began to radiate with a green light. A special spell from another world, the 'Copy' spell, has a very distinct ability but has annoying limits.

This spell can copy anything that is not alive but without its magical effects, for example, when you copy a magic ring, it produces a normal ring and the same in others. Its second drawback is durability, as the copied element is very fragile.

The magicians were fascinated by the spell, which they did not know what it was, but no one could understand its essence. It was expected as the system of its original world is very different from this world. Trying to understand that spell is like trying to understand a language you do not know just because you hear it.

The book was placed at the center of that spell and the book was copied once, twice, ten, twenty, one hundred... One hundred and seventy-five copies were placed in an orderly pile form above the desk where Maximus had previously been seated.

'Let each of you take a copy and learn the technique, the time limit is a week and we meet here again to discuss the next stage. Remember not to swallow the crystal of achievements until the technique is properly controlled. You can cooperate and help each other as much as you want, provided the information does not leak.'

'Don't worry about it. No one would dare to do this after the bloody show you did earlier. The others should value their lives.'

Albus reassured his sorcerer friend and the first session was concluded to prepare the battlefront to address the disaster.

----------------------------

'Everyone finally left, what have you done before, Max. You really scared us, you looked like a completely different person.'

Ederson, who attended with the rest at the request of director Albus and the heavenly magician Maximus, was surprised by the previous show and only spoke after everyone had left.

'I did nothing wrong, I did what is needed to be done in a way that showed the consequences of betrayal and treachery. I solved a problem before it started in the first place.'

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Maximus explained his position simply as supported by both director Albus and Anastasia.

'Maximus remains our friend and colleague no matter what happens and we have to support and help him.'

'What's next in the plan?'

Mark who has maintained seriousness until this moment wanted to satisfy his curiosity about the next step.

'The first thing I'm going to do is introduce the little ones to the other world, and then I'll check some things there as well. Then I will be back in a week as I talked about before and the rest may change depending on the current course. I ask your permission to leave now; you also have to stay all at the academy so I can find you easily.'

The heavenly magician left the auction building after breaking up with his comrades in pursuit of his next goal without much thought.

----------------------------

Maximus returned home after finishing some outstanding work to use the rest of the day to rest in preparation for tomorrow.

'I don't think there's anything else left to prepare, I shouldn't be late after entering the gate.'

He prepared a cup of tea and headed towards the balcony, thinking about the sayings of those who had seen the bloody gate in their dreams, to think about connotations and meanings that he had not previously realized.

- The past will not repeat itself and your enemy is not who you thought, the next is worse than the past.

- The Book of Knowledge is looking for you; it is eagerly waiting for you. Do not be late on it.

- Retreat one-step and the enemy will advance one-step, advance one-step and the enemy will advance two steps. The end is inevitable.

- Two followers here and three followers elsewhere, all serving the same person but not knowing that they are his servants. You do not know him, but you know his legacy.

- The thousand-day counter is starting now; beyond it is an unprecedented hell. Try to prepare for it if you can.

'....'

While sipping tea, he thought of the links between these messages, which seemed to hide more in the folds of words than what appeared.

'Of these, the most obvious is the thousand-day counter. There is nothing hidden or another meaning that can be derived from it.'

He rubbed his beard for a while while thinking about the rest of the messages, each with an apparent meaning and a hidden one, but one of them was not even understood. Maximus has little information to understand on his own.

'Two servants here mean that the enemy has two followers in the portal world, sure of at least one of them but the problem lies in the other three elsewhere. This puts us in front of the reality that there are other worlds and that what happened previously was the product of an invasion from another world!!'

Maximus grabbed the end of the string towards the answer but did not realize that this rope was long, too long.

'They all serve the same person, but they don't know that they are servants to him... Does this put us in the face of a manipulative enemy from behind the curtain? You do not know him, but you know his legacy... Do not know him but you know his legacy? His legacy... You know...'

Among the distinctive antiques that Maximus knows, he was able to name several things that could be supernatural. However, among them, one thing kept on his mind constantly. The evidence was in another letter in plain sight, but he did not want to bind the sides without irrefutable evidence of the relationship, he could not deny it, but he did not have even evidence to confirm it.

'The Book of Knowledge... Waiting? The book is alive or is it just a metaphor? Thinking about it, the knowledge contained in this book is strangely profound. Its writer was no ordinary person no matter how much you looked at it from different angles. Can the book be called legacy??'

Of the many hypotheses that swirled through his head, one seemed to be the closest to the truth despite the lack of sufficient evidence.

It is like trying to fire an arrow in a dark room at a target whose location is unknown with the hope of hitting it.

'Thanks to the book, I learned countless techniques, skills and spells, but it was the cause of the destruction of the world before my return, yet I cannot deny its bounty without which I would not have been able to go back in time. Is this part of a bigger play where we are pawns?'

After he approached the truth, he felt a crushing pain in both his head and chest.

'Aaah, what's going on with me?'

For the first time since his return, Maximus felt suffocating pain, feeling as if his body and soul were about to be torn to pieces.

'What is the reason?'

The severe pain attack lasted for exactly five minutes, and neither the spell nor the increase in mental stability nor even other methods worked. The pain seemed to be independent of the laws of the world; the pain came without reason and without leaving a result, leaving Maximus, who almost went crazy from the pain, in great confusion without the slightest hint...
