Chapter 94 - Chaos in The Realm
24 days until the highest Trial needed to be challenged. The Realm. 8 days until the pre-class tournament begins.
Mahjit the [Mage] was no real [Savant]. That had been a lie. There had been too much expectation, so much pressure to perform for the ‘prodigy’ that he had caved when the reporters came and asked him if he got the [Prodigy] title.
He hadn’t even gotten the [Genius] title. So Mahjit told them all he had gotten a [Savant] title. That one wasn’t well documented and didn’t have consistent bonuses to compare to.
The fake [Savant Mage] wondered when they’d find out he was a fraud. Mahjit worried about it so much that he spent all his waking hours studying magic and tactics. Preparing and practicing with his team until he passed out.
The world somehow still believed he was a [Savant]. He was trying his hardest to keep it a secret. He was still by far the most talented [Mage] in the past few years. It wouldn’t be unfair to say that he had been the most talented adventurer in the past five years.
Then came Artigan. At first Mahjit had dismissed the blacklister as a crazed idiot. Even when he disabled an entire team at the first Realm, Mahjit had credited it to sheer luck. Luck and the incompetence of the team the blacklister was up against.
It was different now. Now that Mahjit had experienced it himself.
He played the video again. Artigan standing on top of the hill used to send shivers down his spine. His new skill stopped that.
