Chapter 48.1: Part 1

Bonus chapter. Do rate and review on Novel Updates.

The magic class was over.

In conclusion, learning stealth magic wasn't difficult.

Since my assassination talent was beyond anyone's expectations, it was only natural in a way.

After all, I was the strongest exclusive assassin in the novel.

The problem was how to integrate the chaos attribute with stealth magic...

"This isn't easy."

I racked my brain in frustration.

In my future plans, I needed to push my assassination skills to the limit.

Assassination only worked on guys who were somewhat lacking.

It wouldn't work on the real powerhouses of the human world.

'But the reality is that there's no better option than assassination.'

So I had no choice but to grit my teeth and train my assassination skills.

For now, since all my classes were over, I should head back to the dorms.

I was gathering my writing utensils and getting ready to leave my seat when...

"Student Adel."

Someone called out to me.

I stopped moving and turned around to see Robolt with a serious expression on his face.

Judging by his expression and tone of voice, he seemed to have something serious to say.

"What is it?"

"Student Adel, is this your first time learning magic from Sytan?"

My first time learning magic?

I felt a bit strange.

Well, excluding Adel's traits, it was my first time learning magic.

The difference between traits and magic.

In a way, magic was a subset of traits.

Magic that you could use if you had enough mana and the right attributes.

Traits were unique abilities, so it was impossible to do things depending on them.

There were probably quite a few cases where magic and abilities were similar, but they were still different.

"Yes, this is my first time learning magic. I've been able to use my unique talents since the beginning."

"Haha..."

Robolt let out a hollow laugh at my answer.

Then he gave me a hungry look, as if he was looking at prey.

"Please visit my lab when you have time. I have a lot of stories I'd like to share."

"Um, I understand, but... could you explain why?"

I didn't understand why Robolt was making such an offer to me.

Could it be that he had found out something about the chaos attribute?

Robolt shook his head excitedly and opened his mouth.

"Student Adel's talent for magic is incredible. You might even surpass me in the near future."

"Yes?"

"You even have the rare chaos attribute. Your research value is more than enough, it's overflowing."

"......I see."

My gaze turned cold.

Robolt's words meant, "You have talent, so let's talk."

But there was a problem.

I wasn't as talented as Robolt thought I was.

'My talent for magic is limited to assassination techniques.'

I had no other talents to speak of.

Just look at how I learned stealth magic.

The moment Robolt told me how to use stealth magic.

My body instinctively understood.

How to move on to the next step.

'As if it was knowledge I already knew.'

That's why I was able to use stealth magic without Robolt telling me what to do after covering my body with mana.

But me, a magic prodigy?

'That's laughable.'

Having a serious discussion about magic with Robolt would be a waste of time.

But it was a bit of a shame.

It was rare for an instructor to show favor.

It wouldn't be wise to dismiss it just because I wasn't interested.

It just wasn't the right time.

"I have something to do today, so I'm afraid I can't visit your lab."

"Ugh, I can't force you."

I smiled at Robolt, who wore a look of disappointment, and continued.

"But I'll be sure to visit next time."

"Promise!"

"Yes, I will."

Only after I gave my word did Robolt retreat, satisfied.

At this rate, I'll have to act the part of a magic prodigy.

I'll figure out something.

With that thought, I picked up my things and left the training ground.

'It looks like Luna and Fron went in first.'

My conversation with Robolt had taken a while, so it seemed they had left first.

Thanks to that, I was able to return to the dorms without any problems.

And so, I walked along the path to the dorms, lost in thought.

'I should train in the dorms today.'

I had a good reason.

Stealth magic that I had learned today.

While Robolt was explaining its principles, something had crossed my mind.

However, in order to train that technique, I needed to be alone.

There was no way anything good would come of someone discovering the existence of that technique.

'I should use it as a trump card.'

The more hidden a card was, the more powerful it became.

Thinking about the spies of the human realm who might be here...

'I guess I'll have to clean them up soon.'

The human world and the demon world, which sent spies to each other.

Naturally, there were also human spies hiding in Sytan.

A spy appeared as an informant, telling the six families about the information they had gathered about Sytan.

There was a chance that the fact that a descendant of Arsene was in the demon world would reach their ears.

'Killing that spy would mean...'

Killing one of the humans who appeared in the original story.

That was another reason for my hesitation.

Of course, it wasn't because I was attached to the character I created.

It was just...

'It'll be a bit tricky.'

Very tricky.

To act boldly in enemy territory, one needed to be both intelligent and powerful.

He would have prepared for the possibility of his identity being exposed.

In order to deal with that guy, I needed to be fully prepared.

'I'll have to train somewhere secluded until then.'

The skill that applied stealth magic.

This ability was more than enough to deal with the powerhouses of the human realm.

If I could pull it off, that is.

After all, what I had established today was just a theory.
