Magus Supremacy

Chapter 406

A week had finally passed, and in this week, a change was happening in Grey’s life. Today was the day he would be leaving for the Aetherian Academy’s assessment. And not just him, Finral and one other person would be tagging along for the assessment, hoping to gain admission into the academy.

Throughout the week, Grey had spent his time training and honing his skills with complete focus.

Thanks to his exceptional memory, he was able to learn not only the three basic sword skills but also a few additional ones that required a decent level of mastery.

Yami, seeing his progress, had taken the liberty of giving Grey one more Cromwell family secret: a sword technique that was exclusive to their bloodline. A technique that only a handful of Cromwells in history had been able to master.

However, no matter how hard Yami tried to teach Grey the technique, it just wouldn’t click. Grey was unable to perfect it.

Eventually, Yami dropped the training and shifted the focus elsewhere, accepting that some things required more time.

Grey’s Dantian still refused to expand beyond the size of a soccer ball, as if resisting all attempts to grow.

With his cultivation seemingly stagnant, Grey decided to concentrate solely on physical combat, martial arts, and sword training. Now, it finally felt like he was ready—truly ready to embark on this next phase of his life.

Gathered outside the house were members of the Cromwell family, all there to see them off.

Grey had his bag packed, and so did Finral. They stood together, both awaiting their ride and the final person who would be joining them for the journey.

"Honestly, these past few months that you have been with us, it didn’t feel like you were an outsider at all," Clarice said softly, her eyes misting with emotion as she stared at both Finral and Grey. "It felt like you were a second son to me. And now, not only will one of my sons be leaving, but two."
