Shepard had told him that there was a circle hideout nearby and before Frey had left to go to the magic tower, he had offered to him there once .
But Frey refused .
Although he was still curious about the tower, he had decided to make it his priority to restore the state of his body and enter the 7 star stage completely .
‘Because I don’t want what happened with Torkunta to happen again . ’
Pride and carelessness had caused him to encounter a crisis . One such experience was enough for him .
“Good luck on your test . ”
As he said that, Shepard gave him a square card .
On it, there were many elongated circles overlapping over to form a strange ring .
“In half a year, the circle will be recruiting people . You’ll have to go through some tests, but you will be able to get through them with ease . ”
“Is it like an entrance exam?”
“It’s the same concept . As long as you have that card, you will be able to participate in the test . ”
It was in half a year so there was plenty of time to spare .
“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to participate . I’m not forcing you . ”
Then he looked at the card that he’d placed in Frey’s hand before saying .
“There’s also a card with my name on it . There are many benefits to having it but…”
He looked back at Frey and gave a big smile .
“You don’t need it right?”
“Yes . This is enough . ”
“Hoohoo . I knew it . So will you be staying in the tower for half a year?”
“Unless something special happens . ”
“If you want to take part in the exam look for a man by the name of Lucas or Mikael . They’re not Strow Necklaces, but they are also in the circle so they would be able to help . ”
Frey bowed his head .
“Thank you for your concern . ”
“No problem . ”
Before leaving the mansion, Frey went to visit Sonia last .
It seemed that she would be leaving the mansion soon as well . Although the engagement was not successful, it did not seem to cause any serious problems between the two parties .
Frey finally asked her a question that he had from long ago .
“Sonia, I’m curious about the swordsmanship you were using . ”
“You mean Dreadment?”
“Right . Is it a swordsmanship passed down by the Luanoble Kingdom?”
“No . It’s my family’s arcane swordsmanship . ”
So it wasn’t from the kingdom but was instead a family technique .
Then was Lucid the ancestor of the Aquarid family?
Frey wanted to ask more, but family secrets was a sensitive topic so he did not dig any further .
‘It could’ve been his student . ’
Unlike himself, Schweiser and Iris, Lucid had many disciples .
One of them might have been from the Aquarid family .
‘Maybe Sonia is also connected to the circle . ’
One of the three large circles that Shepard had mentioned was called Lucid’s Sword .
But he couldn’t jump to conclusions .

Frey then said goodbye to the regretful Sonia .
There was nothing left for him to do in the Jun Family .
Frey left the mansion .
The 3rd Magic Tower was located in a city south of Kausymphony called ‘Uthiano‘ .
As a city with a magic tower, Uthiano had its own warp stone which allowed Frey to arrive there the same day .

Mischael Blake, the eldest son of the Blake family, looked at Patrick with a frown .
“So…Frey is Peran Jun’s friend?”
“Right . It turned the banquet hall upside down . They seemed to be pretty close . ”
“…”
“…I thought Floor Master needed to know this, so I came to tell you . Then I will take my leave . ”
“Hmm . Thank you . ”
Patrick bowed and left the room . (TL: snitch)
Mischael who was left alone in the room, frowned .
“Frey…friends with Peran Jun . ”
Frey Blake .
There never was and never will be someone with such horrible talent in the Blake Family .
He was the shame of the family with no sensitivity to mana, a timid and docile personality, no stubbornness, no passion and no ambition .
‘That guy could become Peran’s friend?’
Mischael had met Peran before .
Even though they were both great nobles he couldn’t help but feel a bit of respect .

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine that person hanging out with the timid Frey .
“What do you think, Heinz?”
“…”
Heinz Blake, who had been leaning against the window listening to the conversation, responded as if he had no interest in Mischael’s words .
“…They both go to Westroad Academy . There’s nothing strange for them to have a relationship if he got lucky . ”
“Hmm . That loser has done quite well . ”
It seemed that there was a good result from a guy he would have never expected it from .
Mischael thought for a moment before getting up from his seat .
‘I should tell father . ’ (TL: another snitch)
Maybe there was something they could use from this .
Mischael slowly walked out of the room .
Heinz stared at his back with an indifferent expression .

Frey arrived in Uthiano and began looking around .
It seemed to be a moderately bustling city, but because he had been staying in the capital for a while, it did not leave that big of an impression .
But there was something that Kausymphony didn’t have .
He looked up at the big tower that was in the center of the city which could probably be seen from any direction within the city .
It was very tall and wide .
Frey immediately headed toward the tower . Up close, he felt that it was even grander than he had thought .
Frey was absorbed by emotion .
“Was it when I was 20?”

The first place that he had become seriously immersed in magic was in a magic tower .
There, he had met Schweiser, and Iris too .
The tower at that time was shabby compared to this one, but it was still fun .
It was good to have friends to learn magic together with . He had been so absorbed that he didn’t even want to waste his time sleeping .
The three of them gave each other positive stimulus . Competition had been an excellent facilitator, allowing them to become the best wizards .
A smile stretched across Frey’s lips .
In a way, the days he’d spent in the magic tower were some of the best days of his life .
A time when he could happily wait for tomorrow without having any worries or burdens .
As he looked up at the tower and became filled with nostalgia, he noticed a group of people passing by him .
They were all wearing brown robes, but their robust physiques made it seem like they weren’t wizards .
They weren’t even human .
They had eye catching dark skin, contrasting silver hair and pointed ears .
‘Elves?’
They were also Dark Elves which were said to be incredibly rare .
A group of Dark Elves were in a human city?
This was a sight that was unthinkable 4,000 years ago .
‘Looks like the walls between racial groups have been torn down . ’
When he was in the academy he had read something about it in a book . In particular, he learned that the relationship between the Elves and the Dwarves was so good that they continuously traveled between each other’s land .
‘And it seems like the Elves have been able to accomplish unity and harmony . ’
It seemed like the destination of the elves was also the magic tower .
So Frey naturally followed after them .
