~ Besides the names of Warrod, Hyberion, and Wolfheim, there was a line of small text that caught Igor’s eye.
In small letters, it was written that part of the reference material was quoted from Precht Gaebolg’s work Practical Theory of Ethernano.
Igor had been wondering how Warrod and the others, despite never having encountered “magic barrier particles,” had managed to write that refinement method.
Now he fully understood.
The part concerning “magic barrier particles” had actually been written by Hades.
[Ding-dong!] [“Advanced Refinement Method for Ethernano and Magic Barrier Particles” detected.
Incorporate it?] Just as Igor was thinking this, his omnipotent system began to exert its power.
“Include it.” Igor silently repeated it in his heart.
[Ding-dong!] [Collection complete.] [Should the original “Basic Magic and Ethernano Refinement Method” be replaced?] The system continued to issue instructions.
“Yes.” Igor silently chanted this in his heart.
[Ping-pong.] Replacement complete.
A few minutes later, Igor’s system panel updated again.
[Character Panel:] Name: Igor Age: 16 Guild: None Magical Power: A+ (+) Ethernano: A+ (+) Magic Container: First Magic Container (3 months remaining until magical power and magic barrier particles reach the next level.
Combat can accelerate level-up.) Currently contracted demons: Bomb Demon and Shredder Demon.
[Attached magic books: “Advanced Magic and Ethernano Refinement Method” and “Elementary Magic and Ethernano Refinement Method.”] “BOOM!!” The instant Igor replaced the “Elementary Refinement Method” with the “Advanced Refinement Method,” his brain felt like it was about to explode.
The surrounding Ethernano and magic barrier particles gathered toward him like bees drawn by the scent of flowers.
The time it would normally take to level up magical power and “magic barrier particles” (normally a 1-year idle period, that is, 12 months) was shortened to a mere 3 months.
His training speed had improved more than fourfold.
“Exaggerated.” In response, Igor gave an objective evaluation of the “magic classic” compiled by pooling the power of four “God”-level Wizards: Warrod, Hyberion, Wolfheim, and Precht.
“Little Igor, even with our old men’s power, strengthening your ‘Magical Power and Magic Barrier Particle Refinement Method’ this far has already reached the limit.” Warrod paused a little here, then smiled and said, “The rest of the road you must walk yourself.” “Understood.
Thank you very much for your efforts, Lord Warrod.
I sincerely thank you.” Saying that, Igor handed the book “Advanced Refinement Method” to Mirajane standing beside him.
“Hehe, you’re welcome.” Warrod lightly waved at Igor.
“Ah, I don’t understand it at all.” When Mirajane opened the book, she was completely stunned.
If Igor’s “elementary extraction method” corresponded to “elementary arithmetic” (1+1=2), then the “Complete Extraction Method” compiled by Warrod and the others based on Igor’s “elementary extraction method” was comparable to the level of “advanced mathematics.” When Mirajane opened the book, she recognized every word, but when they were combined, none of them looked familiar.
“It’s fine if you don’t understand.
There’s still plenty of time.
For the rest of your life, just be this old man’s conversation partner.” Warrod smiled.
He was planning to open a class for Igor, Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna.
“Please help me.” Igor lightly bowed his head to Warrod to show respect.
“Then we’ll leave the rest to you!” Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna followed Igor’s example and bowed their heads to Warrod.
“It’s fine, it’s fine.” “Talking with young people like you is truly enjoyable.” Warrod smiled and waved.
For a long time, no young people had come to visit him.
When he occasionally met like-minded youths, he of course wanted to give them advice.
“Then please sit.
If you want to learn this ‘Magic Refinement Method,’ I will first teach you the basic knowledge of magic…” Warrod smiled and prepared to begin the class.
“Lord Warrod, actually I have already mastered all the contents of this book, so please don’t worry about me anymore.” Just before class started, Igor stood up from his seat and said a little embarrassedly.
“Igor, lying isn’t good for children~.” Warrod frowned and looked at Igor with some dissatisfaction.
In his eyes, Igor must not be a cheeky child who talked big.
“You can test me…” Igor was also somewhat awkward.
That system was far too authoritarian.
The instant he opened the book “Advanced Refinement Method,” also known as the “Complete Guide to the Refinement Method,” knowledge overflowed into his head.
“Then please tell me how many magic containers actually exist in the human body.” Even after hearing Igor’s words, the wrinkle between Warrod’s brows did not ease.
After thinking for a while, he began preparing to test Igor.
“According to Senior Precht’s research, there are two magic containers in the human body.
The first is the magic container everyone is born able to awaken.
The second differs from person to person.
However, generally those of ‘Ten Wizard Saints’ level automatically activate it, though some are unaware of it.” Igor explained.
In fact, Igor knew that the human body had a third magic container, and that one could borrow magical power from the future to fight.
But this knowledge was far too advanced.
Even its founder, Ultear, had not yet discovered it.
“All right, then how can one accelerate the flow of magic?” Warrod continued questioning.
“There are many methods to accelerate the flow of magical power, but the mainstream view in the modern magic world is that the speed of magical power flow is related to an individual’s mental power — that is, conviction.” Igor continued answering.
“Then…” Next, Warrod threw dozens of questions at Igor in succession, but Igor returned a perfect answer to each one, as if he had memorized them.
At this moment, Warrod finally became certain that Igor had mastered all the contents of the book “Advanced Refinement Method.” “Is this what they call a genius?” Warrod’s eyes twitched slightly.
He looked at Igor with a surprised expression and thought in his heart, “Are all young people these days monsters?
To acquire this much knowledge at such a young age, Igor’s background must be considerable.” “Igor is a true genius.” Lisanna and Elfman looked at Igor with gazes of worship.
“Looks like I have to work twice as hard.
I mustn’t let Igor pull too far ahead.” Mirajane looked at the sparkling Igor, clenched her teeth, and resolved that she must memorize and master all the contents of this book, “Advanced Refinement Method.” “Igor, you’ve proven your ability.
Regarding the basics, you no longer need special guidance.” Warrod sighed.
His gaze toward Igor was filled with gentleness, as if he were looking at the future of the Ishgar Continent’s magic world.
“However, there are still a few things I need your help with, Lord Warrod.” Igor looked at Warrod with humility and respect.
He only knew what was happening in his own life.
Even if others misunderstood, he would not and could not attribute the system’s success to his own efforts.
“What’s the matter?” Warrod was full of interest.
He didn’t know how else he could help Igor.
“Do you know a place around here with monsters?
I want combat training.” Igor answered.
“Combat?” Warrod said in confusion, helplessly, “Since I moved here, all the Beast Kings within a hundred-mile radius have disappeared.” “That’s truly a shame.” Igor wore an ironic smile.
As expected, the overwhelming power of a “God”-level Wizard was still formidable.
Even arrogant Beast Kings knew they needed to hide.
“However, I can help make a few training dolls.” When Warrod finished speaking, a green magic circle shone around him, and in an instant five treant dolls of various shapes appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“These are…” Igor looked at the dolls in front of him, one eye twitching slightly.
Because he noticed that even the dolls Warrod created at will possessed more magical power than he did.
“Sorry, Igor~.” “I’m not very good at fighting~.” “Therefore, dolls made in a hurry can at best only reach Beast King level.” “If you need a more powerful sparring partner, give me a little time to prepare.” Warrod smiled at Igor and said that.
“It’s enough, it’s truly enough.” Afraid that Warrod would create even more powerful puppets to train him, Igor waved his hands repeatedly.
If that happened, it would no longer be special training, but a one-sided beating by wooden dolls.
