"An observer seems to suggest that he will not be able to access magic, a disciple will probably have to learn magic and follow in the footsteps of other mages, and an adept should represent the level of expertise of a disciple.
Then what is an architect? Is an architect a mage who can create magic on his own? That would make sense. Also, the fact that a mage starts the creation of the magic this late is to be noted. It seems there is either a prerequisite to creating magic, or it is an incredibly dangerous concept.
Also, master should be the highest stage a mage can reach since Arthur introduced the Keeper as the only true mage.
As for what true mage means, perhaps it's a title, or perhaps it's the stage where you get to learn the essence of magic".
Silas was very excited to begin this journey.
There was a very detailed account of what a mage has to do at the observer stage. But the essence of it is to prepare the body and soul while gaining theoretical knowledge of magic.
Moreover, from the uniforms present in the box, he learned that observers weren't really considered mages. This was represented by the fact that he had no stripes.
Most of what a mage has to do at the observer stage could be learned from the timetable. What the booklet explained was why a mage has to do these things.
A mage relies heavily on the mind. And as he learned previously, to expand the mind, one has to improve the body and the soul. This was why it was necessary to train the body and soul at the observer stage.
There was also a brief explanation of the magic study theories, but he couldn't define these fields just yet because the actual information given was ridiculously low.
For example, for dimensional studies, it was written that dimensions are the necessary factories of the universe that work in relation to the physical plane and that's it.
There was nothing else on the dimensions. Clearly, the Keystone wanted to evoke curiosity in the new mages, or they simply didn't bother explaining in the booklet, when the mages would learn the information soon after.
In any case, Silas was beyond curious and excited. This world was just too exciting. It had been years since he had felt such strong emotions. But it couldn't be helped; this world was just full of surprises.
Everywhere Silas turned, he found something new and exciting. He was like a kid in a candy store. What he had fantasized about in his previous life, the power and the knowledge, were surrounding him now. So how could he not be excited...
There was some information available on the disciple and adept stages, but it was exactly as Silas predicted.
In the box, he found an information booklet on the Keystone. This booklet explained the various facilities of the place. The only ones Silas could access for now were the library and the training grounds.
The library was the center of Keystone and its biggest asset. It contained all the knowledge the Keeper and the other mages had ever found.
It was divided into tiers from 0 to 5. These tiers corresponded to the six tiers of mages. Moreover, from the second stage onwards, there was an achievement requirement.
But he didn't find any information on what 'achievements' were. By now, Silas had grown numb to this. He knew that Keystone purposefully gave only the bare minimum information to the mages. And there was nothing he could do.
Silas also came to know that he would receive his own training ground when he reached the Adept stage. Before that stage, mages have shared training grounds.
As for the classes, they were held in their specific training grounds.
------
Silas had decided to set aside three years for the observer stage. He was confident he could pass the stage before that, but he wanted to train his soul and body to the maximum before he stepped into the next stage.
He didn't want to waste time training his physique when he could practice magic. Plus, from the information he learned on the internet, he knew mages in this world were physically weak. He didn't know if it was the same in Keystone, but in any case, having a strong physique should help him immensely.
Specially, considering his ultimate goal of quantum mastery.
For the next three years, his goal was to thoroughly learn the fundamentals of magic.
He had already thoroughly mastered most martial arts in his previous life, but this was a new body after all. So, the next three years of his life were set.
---
Silas reached the training ground an hour early the next morning. He had already slept for more than 8 hours. So he was very well rested.
He arrived early because he wanted to look around the training ground before the class officially began.
According to the timetable, this class was called Introduction. In this class, he will learn about everything he needs to do at the observer stage.
The training ground was an isolated room in the middle of a vast field. The room blended the classic classroom style with a library.
In front was the stage, while at the back there were racks filled with books. But when Silas tried to pick these books up, he found that his hand passed through them.
If he had tried touching all the books, he would have found that he could access some of them; unfortunately, he didn't.
The rest of the classroom was sparsely populated with work desks. Since he couldn't read the books, Silas could only wait. So he did.
About 40 minutes later, someone finally entered the classroom.
The guy barely looked at Silas before sitting down. Seeing the individual's attitude, Silas also didn't greet him.
About ten minutes later, Instructor Juno finally entered the classroom. He was right on time.
