Chapter 152
“I’m so happy I can finally learn magic from you, big brother!”
Seven-year-old Riza couldn’t hide her joy and smiled.
“So it’s not something that happens overnight.”
Seeing his adorable younger brother, Dale couldn’t hide his delight and smiled.
Dale had formed fragments of mana as early as age four and constructed his first mana circle by age eight. While it wasn’t impossible to do so at four or five if he’d set his mind to it, Dale had waited for the right time—in his own way, to uphold the ‘common sense of this world’.
In contrast, young Rize first became aware of her first shard of mana at the age of five. It was a talent truly worthy of the name of the Black Tower Master’s bloodline.
Thus, as the years passed, on her sixth birthday, Riza threw a tantrum, crying and clamoring that she wanted to become a great mage like her brother.
But learning magic was never an easy task. Unless one was an exceptional being like Dale, learning magic could easily become a path leading straight to ruin.
Nevertheless, witnessing the ‘Fragment of the Mana Circle’ lodged within Rize’s heart expanding day by day, Black Pearl and Dale too came to the conclusion that they could no longer stand idly by.
Unlike Dale, who had mastered the art of strict self-control, this talent was consuming an innocent girl without her awareness.
That made it all the more dangerous.
It was within this context that they decided to teach her magic earlier than Dale, who had only begun his magical training at the age of eight.
