"Origin Level Magic is the fundamental rule magic that composes our magical world, and it can only be rule magic."
Leon briefly explained to Alyssa.
But from the dazed expression on Alyssa's face, it was clear to see.
She didn't understand.
"In short, you just need to know that in the face of Origin Magic, even SSS-level magic has to take a backseat!"
As soon as Leon finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added, "To put it another way, the gap between SSS magic and Origin Magic is roughly equivalent to the gap between the most common D-level magic and SSS magic!"
Upon hearing Leon's explanation, Alyssa's adorable little mouth immediately formed an O shape.
She looked at Leon in disbelief, "Is... is it really that powerful?!"
SSS-level magic is recognized as a super high-tier magic throughout the continent of Ain.
Not only is it rare, but its learning difficulty is extremely high!
The fact that there is magic capable of surpassing SSS-level magic by such a wide margin!
How difficult must it be to learn?
This completely reshaped her understanding!
The most crucial point is that, according to Mentor Leon, he clearly knows at least one of those so-called Origin Magics!
"I... I will definitely work hard and not disappoint you, Mentor!"
Alyssa hurriedly expressed her determination to Leon.
Magic that surpasses SSS-level is incredibly rare, not just someone like her, even a Grand Mage renowned for her beauty, like the succubus Yuna, would hesitate.
It's likely she would willingly strip herself bare and beg Leon to sleep with her.
To exchange for an opportunity to be taught.
The most critical thing is that magic surpassing SSS-level is undoubtedly of an unprecedented difficulty.
Just one lesson might not even be enough to master it!
Even so, Yuna would still gladly accept!
Yet Leon asked nothing in return, he directly stated that he would teach her that Origin-level magic.
This left her utterly astonished!
Alyssa silently made a decision in her heart, since her mentor was so generous to her, she would treat him as the most important person in her life from now on!
No matter what requests her mentor made in the future, she would unconditionally agree!
Whether he wanted her as a person or wanted her life.
As long as her mentor desired it, she would give!
"This can't be rushed, a tall building rises from the ground up. To learn higher-tier magic, you must have a solid foundation."
Although Leon said this, he still felt very assured about his apprentice.
After all, having experienced the ups and downs of life during the backlash before.
Her temperament had been tempered.
"If you advance to the second tier now, I'll give you a day off to register at the Mage's Guild." Leon said.
"But Mentor, I can't get out of the Misty Forest by myself!"
Alyssa's eyes lit up at the mention of a day off, but soon she looked at the distant forest, dark and gloomy, in stark contrast to the sunny area where she stood.
She immediately began to hesitate.
"That's simple! Little White, you take her out."
Leon glanced at the little white dragon beside him, which had shrunk to the size of a small dog and was rolling on the ground.
"Roar!"
Upon hearing Leon's words, Little White instantly stood up, and in a surprisingly human-like manner, saluted Leon with its wings.
As if to say, "I promise to complete the task!"
"Alyssa, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I'll have Little White wait for you at the entrance of the Misty Forest. Make sure to be there on time."
Leon turned back and instructed Alyssa.
Alyssa nodded repeatedly.
Then, in Alyssa's curious gaze, Little White approached her.
A flash of white light flickered, and its body gradually grew larger.
It became the size of a horse.
Since Alyssa didn't know any flying magic, a larger size would be inconvenient.
This size was just right.
"Then, Mentor, I'll take my leave now."
Alyssa looked at Leon, hesitated for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and gave Leon a light kiss on the cheek like a dragonfly touching the water.
Blushing, she quickly climbed onto Little White's back.
She patted Little White and said, "Little White, let's go!"
"Roar!"
Little White let out a strange roar, seemingly laughing.
With a couple of flaps of its wings, it soared into the air, carrying Alyssa away toward the Misty Forest.
"What does this mean?"
Watching Alyssa gradually disappear into the distance, Leon raised his hand to touch the spot where she had kissed him, somewhat lost in thought.
For the past nine years, he had been slacking off, mostly staying in the academy dormitory or just hanging around the Misty Forest.
Aside from having intimate relations with Ally, he hadn't participated in any social activities.
So he wasn't very familiar with the social norms of this world.
So...
Could this be a way of expressing gratitude?
Leon pondered this in his mind.
...
In the city of Allemond.
It was merely the closest district to Ruize Academy of Magic.
The streets were bustling with people, in addition to local residents, there were students from Ruize Academy and magic adventurers from all over the world.
Among the various places in the district, the most lively spot was the Mage's Guild.
The Mage's Guild is a special organization formed by ten Grand Mages, responsible for issuing rank certificates for mages.
It is also the place where adventurers can take on bounty quests.
At this moment, in front of the Mage's Guild.
A few men dressed in the new student uniforms of Ruize Academy of Magic were leaning against the wall, discussing something with frowns on their faces.
"Isn't this quest we took on a bit reckless? The mission site is near the Misty Forest."
"That place can be deadly!"
"What are you afraid of? It's just nearby, we're not going directly into the Misty Forest. Completing this quest could earn us 100,000 Beli!"
"100,000 Beli, do you know what that means?"
"The tuition for Ruize Academy is only about 30,000 for a year!"
"Fortune favors the bold. If we complete this one, we won't have to take on other tasks for the whole year!"
While they were chatting, one red-haired man suddenly froze, looking in a certain direction.
Everyone stopped discussing and followed the gaze of the red-haired man.
They saw a cute girl with white hair tied in twin ponytails walking leisurely toward them.
"Alyssa? What is she doing here?"
"Pfft, a useless girl with 23 magic power, she's not thinking of taking on a quest, is she?"
"Hehe, remember when Leon mentor humiliated Sharon in front of the whole school? Sharon is holding a grudge against Alyssa now. What if I beat Alyssa up, record it with a crystal, and give it to Sharon? Wouldn't she be happy enough to give me a chance to get close to her?"
"You're full of ideas, count me in!"
"This isn't good, though. No matter what, Alyssa is an apprentice of a first-class mentor and the dean's daughter. If we go too far..."
"What's there to fear? As long as we do it decisively and leave behind some evidence, she wouldn't dare to speak out."
The red-haired man grinned lewdly, and everyone instantly understood his meaning.
They all rubbed their hands together and laughed.
Whether they would actually get a chance to get close to Sharon was one thing, but Alyssa was definitely not going to escape their clutches!
And they wouldn't have to worry about any consequences.
Everyone would get their share, and everyone would enjoy it!
...
Alyssa naturally noticed the group of red-haired men at the entrance.
She didn't know them, but from the mischievous smiles on their faces, it was clear that they had no good intentions toward her.
"A bunch of trash!"
Alyssa huffed lightly, directly ignoring them and walking into the Mage's Guild.
She was no longer the girl with only 23 magic power from the orientation meeting yesterday.
Her strength had not only recovered but also advanced to the second tier.
A few insignificant new students were nothing to her at all.
As Alyssa stepped into the Mage's Guild,
she instantly attracted countless gazes.
She had become the hot topic in Allemond.
Anyone with a bit of information had already heard about what happened at Ruize Academy yesterday.
Multiple recording crystals from various angles had circulated.
So when many people saw Alyssa, they first froze, then their eyes sparkled with amusement.
They were all curious about what a "useless" girl with only 23 magic power was doing at the Mage's Guild.
"Hello, Miss Alyssa, how may I assist you today?"
The receptionist, a gentle-looking woman in a green long dress named Becky, maintained a normal attitude toward Alyssa, unlike the others.
