Chapter 44: New Threat & Spying

 "Phew, looks like I'm close to becoming a 5th Circle Mage." Ardent could not stop the smile from blooming.

 When he become a 5th Circle Mage, he will become the stronger human in the region, able to trample over 4th Circle Mage with ease.

 "Time for the regular patrol then."

 Ardent's schedule is busy, with the first few hours from waking up being patrolling few kilometers from the village. Then, he trained in the dungeon, before, completing another round around the village. The next day, rinse and repeat.

 Of course, break and meal were included, with most of them spent with his family, or with Catlin. The latter were more common as Catlin acted like a housewife, taking lesson from her and his mothers.

 'I'm not complaining though. It's nice to eat my future wife cooking, especially when she is good at it.'
