Chapter 41: Bronze 2, Finally!
Lian was seated in a lotus position, his body perfectly still as he prepared for the breakthrough that would define his next step as a Mage.
Freddy was resting elsewhere, using a breathing technique, his chest rising and falling in a rhythmic dance with the air, while Seline cultivated in another spot.
"Geometric Meditation!" Lian whispered, brimming with excitement. He could not wait to discover the changes that reaching Bronze 2 would bring.
From what he knew, the power difference between ranks was not substantial, but the improvement was there, a subtle yet undeniable leap in strength that could tip the scales in a fight.
Lian was not aiming for that but for the system. He hoped the system would give him something more.
A line appeared in Lian’s mind. It was the thirteenth. This line appeared a few degrees from perfect verticality.
What did it mean? Lian needed three lines in total to draw a quarter of a circle.
"Alright, let’s begin!" he murmured as he used his mind like a brush to draw the line.
A moment later, a light shone in Lian’s mind, flooding him with power. The sensation of a breakthrough was at hand; he could feel it, a surge of energy that pulsed through his very soul.
Without wasting more time, Lian drew the next line. The same scene unfolded. Lian’s body had never felt more powerful, more brimming with mana, as if every fiber of his being was alight with newfound potential.
"The last one!" a small shout nearly escaped his lips.
