It's been a few days since Victor started working on his 50-page assignment. Just a quarter of a page to go, and then he was done.
He was sitting in his study chair, pen in his right hand, ready to write another skill and explain it in as much detail as possible.
"Agh! Why is this assignment so hard to finish!" He complained as he scratched the back of his head several times because it felt itchy if he remembered the contents that were very long and troublesome.
"Come on victor you can do it! There's only a quarter left, you can do it!" He encouraged himself desperately. Continuing to work while being motivated by himself.
Even though he was already preoccupied with this task that was like a china wall, he still practiced his magic power every day, and soon he might even become an Alche.
After filling all the pages of his book, he immediately lay down on the bed to stretch his aching body.
The wave of magic ascension was faintly felt. It felt like her entire body was being shocked with a small electricity.
"What's happening to my body!" His entire body was shaking. Some parts of his body were also numb and in other parts it felt like tingling.
Because normally a magician would only experience that when the power went up a level. So the feeling he felt right now was even strange, he had never felt anything strange about his body.
Because normally a magician would only experience it when his power went up a level. So the feeling he felt at the moment was even stranger, he had never felt any strangeness in his body.
What originally felt like a small sting, now turned into a sharper sting, even faint sighs of pain could be heard from him.
"Damn it! What's wrong with my body." His tears came out because he could not bear the sharp sting.
The sting that haunted his began to gradually subside then disappeared like a storm.
The pale face had now improved. The pain may have disappeared from his body, but it will continue to be engraved in his memory.
"I don't want to feel that feeling again." Victor also intended to ask Aldy about what happened to his body.
It was already night when he finished his task, he was also exhausted from having to endure the pain that haunted him earlier, his body was also very weak for now. Without a fight, he fell asleep easily.
...
A brown wooden door with a western style, there was also carved the words 'Aldy' which looked very smooth, like not using a carving tool but using magic.
Victor was now in front of the door, ready to ask Aldy about what he had experienced yesterday, also wanting to collect his assignment.
He knocked on the door of Aldy's room.
"Come in!"
A voice emerged from behind the door.
He opened the door.
He opened the door with his right hand, then when the door opened, his gaze immediately fell on Aldy who was holding a fairly thick book in his right hand, he seemed to be reading the book.
Aldy looked at Victor who was carrying the thick book that he was told to fill. He also saw Victor's strength become clearer and more refined.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
'Not a wrong decision, i punishing you', he thought. He added, "You're here to gave your homework, right?"
"Yes, sir."
He walked towards Aldy's desk while carrying his book with both hands.
He put it on the desk.
"You were quite quick in doing the assignment I gave you." He said.
He then opened his book to proofread it for a moment.
After he finished correcting it, he added, "Want me to give you another assignment?" He asked sarcastically. He was also quite satisfied with his student, if he wanted to be given another assignment, he would not refuse it.
"No!" Victor quickly refused. He was already very tired during this week, so the torture should be stopped while his body was still strong. 'One more task, my body will be in the hospital', he thought as he looked at Aldy to stop joking.
"Oh well then."
Aldy got up from his chair, he then started walking to one of the vases and turned it around.
He then opened one of his desk drawers and took out a book that had no cover, it looked old but didn't have any dust.
"Here." He gave Victor the book, then said, "Congratulations on becoming Alche."
Victor accepted the book with a confused face, he said, "Alche? When did I become alche? I'm still at Che level (Witch level 0)."
Aldy's face was not too confused by his student's words. Not knowing was normal.
"You're here to inquire about why your body suddenly went numb and similar symptoms, right?"
Victor's face was wide-eyed as if asking 'How do you know?'
Aldy continued, "The symptoms you are experiencing are a process normally known as 'Transche'. This process is a step that will enlarge the mana container and raise the mana circuit level to the initial level." Clearly
'So I have to feel that again in the future', he thought desperately. Indeed, the events he experienced will strengthen him, but it can be interpreted that the pain he received will be sharper than before.
"Sigh, don't you know how to deal with the pain of transformation?"
He added, "I can't handle the pain."
Aldy put his finger to his chin, trying to remember something.
"As I remember, you can use a pain-relieving potion, just make sure the quality of the potion is guaranteed first, then you can drink it." Aldy actually knew about the other method, but he felt that the other method was impossible, so he decided not to tell him.
"You don't have to worry about the pain anyway. If the pain can guarantee your safety, then it shouldn't matter much." According to him, his safety in this world comes first, pain is temporary, but death is forever.
Victor could only sigh heavily and then convinced himself not to be afraid of becoming strong, even though every time he became strong, the pain would also become stronger as he grew stronger.
His gaze fell on Aldy who was an Elche. He thought about how much pain he had to endure to become an Elche. That thought made him even more determined to endure as much as he could. 'If Mr. Aldy can do it, why can't I', he thought while convincing himself.
"Then I'll see you again Mr. Aldy." He said while continuing to emphasize he thoughts in his heart.
"Then I'll see you again."
Aldy was sure that his student was not so weak as to be weakened by fear. 'I'm sure you'll become a great person in the future with your perseverance', he thought as he sighed at his past regrets of wasting too much time on things that were only fun but didn't make him grow or profit.
The door to his room opened. Victor left his room with his mind firmly set, but who knows when it will fall.
