Licht went back to his room in the evening. There was nothing unusual and spectacular. Everything was normal like most of the days.

Licht locked his room and took out his sword from its sheath which he had got as a 16th birthday gift from his parents. The sword was beautiful and elegant like always.
Licht channeled his mana and the sword shone brightly. The runes immediately lit up and Licht found himself in his consciousness. He was used to such situations, so he casually created a chair from nothingness and sat down with a blank face.
Viktor came out with a normal robe. He was smiling and waiting for him. It has been a month since they had met last time.
" Boy, I have been waiting for a long time. What took you so long?"
Licht shrugged his shoulders. Honestly, he was occupied, and he was preparing for his escape.
" I was very busy."
Viktor sighed and sat down. He carefully observed Licht and found out his power. To his surprise, Licht had grown a lot in the span of a month. His mana and physique were emanating powerful vitality and power, which can be noted that his divine power grew as well.
" Boy, are you on drugs? Why is your holy power is getting stronger day by day? It is like you are the son of the light. As for your mana and physique. You should be around intermediate level. Can you please show me your magic?"
Licht nodded and raised his hand up.
Blaze*
Bright fire was ignited on his arm, but it wasn't hurting him at all. It was like his body part. He moved the fire with his thoughts.
Viktor nodded with approval. Licht was powerful enough to kill any intermediate knight or mages in the battlefield, even though he was lacking experience.
" Good. Your mana intensity and control are precise and perfect. You should be available to defend yourself from high leveled people. Moreover, your technique is brilliant because of your knowledge."
Viktor looked at him with a proud look because Licht was a unique method which he had created for himself. He was mixing science with Viktor's unique magic to create even more powerful magic. It wasn't like magic science-' Arcane', it was more like an ancient magic. However, it filled ancient magic's weakness with no chant advantage.
Licht raised fire's temperature to the maximum. His body was burning brightly, but it lasted for a moment before it vanished to nothingness. Licht was exhausted, even though it was his consciousness. He panted and fell to the ground weakly.
Viktor shook his head and helped him up. He saw his weakness and his vulnerability.
" Your mana can't last longer than a moment with that momentum, and I doubt that your body can handle the excessive heat or other elemental powers. Although your soul and divine power can hold their corrosion, you will eventually exhaust your life force and die from the exhaustion."
Licht bit his lips hard. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch advanced level threshold. It was too far away from him even with his power.
Viktor smiled wryly and touched his forehead. He directly witnessed his last month's growth through his memory. In fact, he could tell Licht was pushing himself. He honed his mental and physical strength as well. Additionally, he already mastered basic swordsmanship to maximum level where he can cut steel plates with no problem and his holy power can be used as an auxiliary power.
Viktor patted his shoulder and laughed with a loud voice. He was of proud Licht. This boy had shattered every common sense with his talent and personality.
" Good, have you registered yourself for the exam?"
Licht nodded. He took a deep breath and laid on the ground.
" I did. I have applied for both knight and military at the same time."
Viktor rubbed his chin with a contemplating look. He thought military was suitable for him because he could gain experience from there. He could learn about military strategies and formation. Furthermore, the military had even more career diversities. There are war mages, weapon masters and so on. Basically, military was a good place for Licht.
