"Enter."

Astra gave her permission and Vaan walked into her room with a slight smile on his face.

"Did you succeed?" Astra questioned with a curious look on her face and as if she was waiting for this question this whole time, Vaan instantly summoned his 2 Magic Circles and stood there with a proud look on his face.

"I am officially a 2nd Circle Mage now."

"Pffft!" Astra laughed out loud as she shook her head and glanced at Vaan again, "I can't believe you came in prepared for that question, you even absorbed the Mana before coming in."

"I practiced around 20 to 30 times before coming in," Vaan replied.

"I can't be disgraceful in front of the best Mage in the world, now can I?"

"Still buttering me up, huh."

"Of course, one must constantly butter his benefactors in order to continue receiving the benefits." Vaan nodded shamelessly and Astra laughed out loud again.
