Chapter 4: The Path of the Magician

After some time, Lothe noticed that Max was not shaking anymore.

"Are you okay Max?" Lothe worriedly asked.

"I'm okay mom, just a headache." Max comforted her, there was still tingling in his head but already bearable for him.

"Are you sure? you shouted just a while ago clutching your head in pain and your telling me your okay" Lothe was not assured of that. She saw Max in pain a while ago, and that can be some normal headache. Added to that the phenomenon she saw earlier.

Lothe was deeply worried.

"I'm fine mom, I think I just need a little rest, can I retire for the night mom?" Max said.

Lothe has many things to ask but she see the tiredness in her son eyes, she sighed and let him go.

"Okay, lets talk again tomorrow"

Max then returned to his room. After that he hurriedly opened up his system to inspect his new skills and attribute.

"Status" he called in his mind.

Host: Max Ludisson]

[Level-2(150/200)]

Basic attributes

[HP:15/15] [MP:30/30]

[Strength-4]

[Agility-4]

[Intelligence-8]

[Constitutions-4]

[Spirit-13]

Skill: [Mana Manipulation(Lvl-3)]

[Free attribute Point(s): 2]

[Download Point(s): 15]

I level up? and my xp is 50 points away from Level-3.

My all attribute all level up with one points except for the intelligence that went up with 5 points. I got also free 2 attribute points.

He remember that there's +4 points intelligence after he successfully learned the skill [Mana Manipulation].

He focuses his mind on to the skill then it shows another row of data.

[Mana Manipulation]

-skill that can freely control the flow of mana inside the body.

That's all? He sighed.

Now that I learned the skill [Mana Manipulation]. I can be now considered as Magician.

Well now, where will I assign my free extra attribute.

After some thought he decided to add all to his spirit. His intelligence got 4 points attribute, so he doesn't need to add to intelligence. to the other attribute, he didn't think about it.

He's a Magician, so focusing in this two attribute is the right thing to do. Besides, he have the system. He can just download the skill that will grant him extra attributes he needs.

He remember that he has another tab that he yet open. He focuses his mind to the tab [Compiler] then a big size notepad style appeared. And in top of it there's a two eye-catching button.

[Compiler]

[Import][Compile]

What's the use of this? He was bewildered. The system didn't even left a single explanation on how to use this.

He tried to focus his mind on to the import button, then it clicked. then he was redirected to the [Storage] tab.

What the heck? Is this some kind of bug.

He try then focuses his mind on the [Mana Manipulation] skill, then it click. He was redirected back to the compiler tab. but the big space in the note is filled with different information's in it.

He read it and he found out that this is just the same information that filled his head a while ago.

What now? how this things worked?

He decided to focus his mind on to the Compile and button, and then there a buzzing sound.

After that there's a notifications in his head.

[Ding! Insufficient data.]

Insufficient data? what data it need?

He sighed and decided to just to forget it, he have more time to explore this function in the future.

Now that I gain the learn the [Mana manipulation] skill. Its time for me to learn summoning magic.

But how will I tell her that i already learned the skill [Mana Manipulation] and its already Lvl-3.

Forget it. Just tell her the truth, its not a bad thing anyway.

Morning. Max and Lothe was sitting on both side of the table eating breakfast. Max was secretly watching Lothe if the Downloading skill from her cause any harmful effect.

It doesn't look like there's any side effect. Maybe the Download will only copy the skill that she already have and doesn't directly steal it from her.

"What's the matter?" Lothe asked Max. She knows that he's been watching her.

"I already learn the [Mana Manipulation] skill" Max said. Then he pass his status card to her. The status card has been wasted because he already have the status panel in his head.

Lothe look at the status card.

"What!? [Mana Manipulation(Lvl-3)]" Lothe screamed.

Lothe was extremely shock. She already guessed that Max might have learned the skill after of what happen yesterday. But she did not think that it will be Lvl-3.

"How could this happen" Lothe was still shock. This doesn't make sense. You didn't even meditate and suddenly learned the skill [Mana Manipulation] and now its already Lvl-3. Lothe scream in her mind.

"Mom, don't be too shock, i was also shock when i found out. Maybe I'm talented enough to learn the skill. Its not a big deal after all." Max comforted her.

"This cant be right. I can accept you learning the skill very fast, but Lvl-3. Its even the same as mine. It took me almost 5 years to get it to Lvl-3, but you did it with one night. How its not a big deal" Lothe complained.

"Mom relaxed you're too agitated, maybe I'm just too talented. that's all" Max said with a cheeky grin,

"Cheeky bastard" Lothe sighed. She cant take the fact that her son is indeed talented. Very talented.

"Now Mom can I summon now my first summon?" Max asked

"Not so fast little one, there's one more step to do before you can do the your summoning."

"What is it?" Max was confused. Didn't you tell that to become a magician the first i need to learn [Mana Manipulation]?

"Don't be upset first, I know what your thinking. but lemme first ask you this. Do you really want to be a Summoner Magician?" Lothe seriously asked.

"Of course, I already said this to you. Why are you asking this?" Max was confused.

"Because you cant change your path when you start learning Summoning Magic."

"What are you talking about Mom, I don't get it?"

"Let me first explain to you what Summoning Magic is. To become a truly fully pledge Magician, aside from learning the required [Mana Manipulation] skill, There is still one requirement to become a true magician. You have to build the base Magic Circle of the path that you choose to take in your consciousness."

"You already tell me this"

"No you don't understand, building the Magic Circle to your consciousness, it will be there for lifetime. It means you cant learn any other magic aside from Summoning Magic"

"I don't understand Mom"

"Then let me explain to you. When you're a Summoner you cant cast [Fireball] because it is not in the scope of your path"

"No way" Max was dumbfounded.

"That's the most common disadvantage for us magicians, When you're Warrior you can learn other martial arts aside from the one that you already have. But for us, we can only walk in one path that we started out."

"So lemme ask you again one last time, are you sure you want to be a Summoner Magician?"
