Chapter 14: Chapter 14 - OP
When Iris directly injected mana into Leo's body, his whole body felt energized. It was to the point where he thought he could easily run a 100-meter race in 9 seconds. What was unbelievably surprising, but no shock didn't stop there.
"This is..."
Leo felt a faint sense of omnipotence as his mana flowed, and his body raced even more vigorously. Even just making a fist, his grip strength was incomparably stronger than usual, and all his five senses, including sight and hearing, strangely improved, all added credibility to the hypothesis that suddenly came to mind.
He closed his eyes and observed his body again, just in case. He felt something near his heart that wasn't there before.
He instinctively knew what it was from its shape.
"Mana circle...?"
"Congratulations, Leo." Iris had a half-jolly, half-surprised expression on her face.
At this point, it was easy to infer the meaning of the sudden congratulations.
"Did I... create a mana circle?"
This wasn't just a dumbfounding question.
'An orphan college student becomes a magician in less than a day?'
Even if it was a novel, it would be flooded with malicious comments saying it was too plausible. Leo pinched and slapped his cheek. It hurt and stung, but the pain quickly disappeared.
It wasn't because it was a dream. It was thanks to the magic power welling up from his heart.
"Honestly... I can't believe it even though I'm seeing it with my own eyes."
Iris's surprised expression was cute.
'If I rubbed her cheek once, I'd have no more wishes.'
"I also heard many compliments from my teacher for creating a mana circle quickly, but it took me about two months. It was possible because I barely slept and tried to communicate with mana, but you...?"
Iris was surprised too.
Leo still couldn't believe it.
'I'm a rare talent who creates a mana circle faster than Iris?'
The thought made him feel more uncomfortable than happy.
When he was in elementary school, he was judged as having no talent in the magic test conducted by the state. Because of that, he couldn't go to the magic tower, and he couldn't become a magician.
'But now? Is my talent crazy?'
It's not that there aren't cases where talent blossoms as you age, but this is going too far. Iris, the great magician who achieved the 8th circle, is doing something that took her 2 months in 5 minutes?
'I know my place well.'
Leo definitely was not that kind of genius. This means there was a third party's intervention.
"No Iris."
If a magician could be artificially created, even if Resilia had betrayed her, the elders wouldn't have followed suit. By elimination, there was only one thing left.
Leo took a step forward and picked up his cell phone that was acting as indirect lighting. As expected, the screen that appeared on his cell phone was 100% as he had expected.
[Thank you sincerely for participating in the love consulting curriculum]
[Become an attractive male! Congratulations on achieving the initial goal of the project]
[☆Achieving 1 Circle Wizard☆]
[Check your mailbox for the rewards prepared as a part of the love incentive]
The love consulting curriculum, Iris's heavy and dark past that could be called trauma, was the main culprit that made her unconsciously spit it out without hesitation.
Otherworldly Dating App, Leo knew that it was an extraordinary app, from the fact that it teleported him to another dimension. However, he never imagined that it had the ability to control others and directly help build mana circles.
'Just where does this app come from?'
This is just my guess, sure, but there is someone behind this app. I don't know what they wanted me to do with this app, but there was no doubt I got it right now.
'Am I a wizard now?'
To be honest, Leo was still bewildered. Being a wizard was like a dream for him. Of course, if he could just make a lot of money, anything would be fine, but it was also true that his longing for being a wizard ran a corner of his heart. Gains and losses, he had all kinds of ideas flashing in his mind.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It was true that there were some things that were a bit uncomfortable, but if he could use the app's abilities well, there was no way his final destination would be a 1st circle magician. Leo would become much more than that without a doubt.
"Okay, I'm done worrying."
Even if Leo kept holding on to something he didn't know how to figure out, it'd only make things harder for him. Right now, his only goal was to become a high-ranking magician and free Iris from this place.
"Let's continue with this!"
"Yes!"
The reaction of a student who had developed a talent that could only be called overwhelming and a teacher who was full of enthusiasm quickly advanced the progress of the class. Basic mysticism, Frezia's alchemy, the theory of the sum of elements, etc.
Leo spent most of his time learning the basics of magic. Naturally, the class was difficult. The magic class, which was full of technical terms that he had never heard before, seemed to overload his brain.
However, the otherworldly dating app blew away his worries.
[Become an attractive person of the opposite sex! You have reached the intermediate level!]
[All knowledge acquisition correction rate for basic magic +1000%]
[Mana sensitivity increase +1000%]
[Mana magnetization speed increase +1000%]
Leo thought the numbers were wrong, but the effect was so certain that it was overwhelming. It was as if the knowledge was imprinted on his brain as soon as he heard it.
'1000% ?! Just how overpowered is this app!'
