Chapter 36
“It was a good idea to bring these, just in case.”
Carmelo spread out the research materials and calmed his expression. These were documents pertaining to the ancient study of mana sensitivity.
“Hmm…”
Having awakened all five senses, Carmelo was a high-rank magician. However, he was not satisfied with this. Although this was a realm achievable only by those with genius talent, it was nothing but a faded shell compared to a single superior talent.
‘If I had been born during the time magic was discovered, I would have been just an average magician.’
Even though he was recognized in the Magic Tower, he was ultimately an acquired genius following in the footsteps of the innate geniuses. Compared to those who awakened their senses on their own without learning, his talent was insignificant.
‘There are babies who can see mana as soon as they’re born. That’s already a natural gift, and among them, those who awaken five senses before the age of ten are truly extraordinary.’
Especially those who self-awakened all five senses were on a different level. The moment they became interested in magic, it was their fate to awaken the sixth, almost transcendent sense, like a caterpillar naturally becoming a butterfly. Those who fell into this category were the noble beings recorded in history as great magicians.
Carmelo, who was obsessed with magic, knew it was impossible to reach that level, but he harbored a peculiar anticipation as he scrutinized the old documents.
