Elios opened focused on his sea of consciousness, looking at the gate in the centre.
When he looked at it, another piece of information that wasn't there before appeared in front of him.
He read through it, contemplated and summarized it for himself, to understand it better.
"So, basically, now that I have the [Magia] (Magic) basic rune, every world that has a connection to magic or even formed magic rules, will be easier for me to detect?
Hmm… it seems like the Gate is using my runes as filters?
Well that's true – although I don't know much about the world energy radiation, generally, if you take every world as a radiator, it will be difficult to separate the different energies and frequences. The rune is like a key, probably…"
He then looked at his rune again "I wonder how I'm supposed to engrave spells into them?"
Although he learned that one could engrave spells in circles, he never learned why and how.
He felt that the system was likely similar to how the three foundational rune circles formed a meditation rune – but, the amount of foundational rune circles needed to form the meditation rune was different.
Their Trinity Balance Meditation Rune required three, but there were some with less and some with more.
So, the number '3' wasn't a rule. In that case, it could be possible that spells also consisted of different amounts of rune circles.
There was no need to guess any more – Elios was tired and it was late, so he decided to wait until the next day.
He would have to register his advancement, get a bunch of learning material and even access to the library he had wanted to visit for so long.
The previous teacher's visit was just an inspection because he was a unique case, they hadn't prepared anything, nor was there a need to give him everything on the spot.
…
The night passed, early next morning, Elios woke up with a smile on his face.
When good things happen, you can't stop smiling, even in your sleep.
He put on his clothes and school uniform – it wasn't fancy and rather basic.
Today he would switch it for a magic item, the wizard apprentice robe!
He walked out of the dormitory – in fact, it was better to say it was a small flat, with different room and spacious living space.
This was the last day he would spend here. Fortunately, he had already realised early on that he had high talent, so he didn't waste time decorating it or anything.
He walked down the empty hall.
Even though he made a few friends in the school, they weren't closely connected. Just some casual chatter between peers. After all, he has only been in this school for three months, most of the time he engraved runes or learned magic theory.
On top of that… he wasn't really 12 years old.
As a reincarnator, he tried to fit in with the people of his "age", and act like so, but it was really difficult to share the same interests and pre-puberty boys.
Anyways, there was no need to do so, and with his goal, he wasn't going to stay in this world for a long time.
By the time he came back, it would be a few decades or even hundreds of years later. If any one of them was talented enough to reach the third circle, he might see them again, if not, then it didn't matter.
Walked out of the dormitory and went down the road, to another building.
It was a general affairs building that would give them their rations, clothes, and other things on a daily basis.
Now that he reached the apprentice stage, he has to register with them and leave this tower, reaching the third floor.
Just a he entered the building, he saw an elderly woman sitting behind the reception, seemingly dozing off.
He walked towards her, and as if sensing him, she opened her eyes, looking at him weirdly.
"What are you doing here? You only get rations at the first day of the month, if you dirtied your room, you have to clean up on your own-" just as she was about to continue, she suddenly stopped.
"Your magic power is concentrated… did you form your first rune?" she asked in shock.
"Yes, Senior Teacher Yelio has already inspected everything. I am here to register and become an apprentice."
The old lady took a moment before she nodded "Indeed, if you reach this stage so early, the Senior Teacher would directly inspect you! Alright, let me do the proceedings."
She said, without waiting for him to say anything more.
Her movements were quick as she moved her hands across the reception.
Elios only saw a faint blue screen hovering in front of it – he knew this was the Central Wizard Communication Board.
This was a great technology created under the cooperation of Space Wizards, Arcanists and Mechanics.
It took many years and was only finished after the start of the planar expansion, when the Space Wizards finally had time to do other research projects besides the planar expansion.
After a few movements, she reached below the reception, taking out a small box.
"This is the emergency apprentice emblem. Usually, you would have to wait until the higher floors check everything, and then issue an emblem, but considering your situation… it's quite appropriate for you to take this emblem ahead of time.
The emblem also has a code that allows you to access the CWCB (Central Wizard Communication Board) – without it, it will be very difficult to gain access.
To bind the emblem to your own, you have to form a rune string and feed it to the emblem.
In these books…" she said as she took out three books from below the table – they were rather slim but seemed extremely important.
"the method of using rune strings to do so is described in them.
In addition, they also hold the three basic spells that are formed based on our tower's three foundational rune circles – don't worry, there is also an explanation on how to engrave spells.
There is a lot a little bit of general information, your rights and responsibilities, and so on."
