Chapter 53 Magic Imprint Between Master and Apprentice
update icon Updated at 2025/2/15 12:10:12

"My Bor-Asman, I ask you again today, are you willing to become my successor?" Bor stood in front of Bexia with a very serious and solemn tone.

"I, Bexia, am willing to become Bor-Asman's disciple!" Bexia responded as instructed, extending her left hand to Bor.

"Today, Bor-Asman accepts Bexia as his disciple, and the oath is established here!" A plural magic array appeared on Bor's palm. He pressed his finger on Bexia's hand, and the magic power quickly engraved Bor's magic imprint on her hand, incorporating several magic arrays into it.

The ceremony before accepting disciples is actually not particularly special, just a procedure. The really important part is the carving of the magic imprint, because this imprint is the true proof that Bexia has become Bor's disciple.

Every elemental mage has their own magic imprint, and as the elemental mage grows, the magic imprint will change to varying degrees due to the mage itself. It can be said that in general, there will not be two completely identical magic imprints. Therefore, each magic imprint is unique.

Similarly, the magic imprint represents a specific mage! The master-disciple imprint represents the teacher's magic imprint left on the disciple, thereby proving their master-disciple relationship.

However, after the disciple graduates, the magic imprint is generally erased by the teacher because graduating means having a unique and individual ability. Clearly conspicuous protections like magic imprints are no longer necessary.

"From today onwards, you are my disciple, BorAsman!" Bor smiled and looked at Bexia. He had no descendants, and Bexia was his first disciple. But that doesn't mean he won't accept any more disciples in the future. It's worth noting that he is only in his eighties, which is relatively young in terms of the lifespan of a titled king.

However, that doesn't mean Bexia is unimportant to him. On the contrary, as the first disciple, their position in the teacher's heart is often the most important, and they can also learn the most from their teacher.

As for Bexia's position in Bor's heart, it goes without saying. Based on the magic theories he mentioned before, if Bexia were a powerful elemental mage, Bor would rather seek to learn from him than accept him as a disciple.

It was only after learning about Bexia's lack of magic learning experience that Bor decided to take him on as a disciple, impressed by his strong understanding of magic.

"Master!" Bexia looked at the magic imprint on her hand, which was a symbol of exploding flames. It looked chaotic yet visually striking. Such a magic imprint would slowly fade over time and hide under the skin, only appearing again when activated by magic power.

"Good!" Bor looked extremely happy. The smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

"According to the rules, I should give you a gift, but your magic power level is still low. How about I give you a gift when you break through to the next stage?"

"I'll follow the master's arrangements!"

"First, let's test your magic power level and see how many stars you have!" Bor turned and walked towards the back of the bookshelf, clearing out a space in the middle of the numerous large bookshelves. There were many tables filled with various instruments for concocting secret medicines.

"If you are also interested in secret medicine studies, you can take a look at my notes first!"

"Place your hand there and input your magic power." Bor led him to a peculiarly shaped crystal pillar.

This pillar is actually a magical tool for detecting magic power levels. It is divided into five sections, with colors from bottom to top representing white, blue, yellow, green, and red, respectively, representing the magic power levels from elementary to Extreme. Each layer is surrounded by ten star graphics, representing the minor levels within.

Bexia followed Bor's instructions and inputted her own magic power. Of course, she only inputted the normal magic power in her body. She hasn't touched the black magic power within the chaotic divine grid since she last used it. Moreover, the recovery of the black magic power is slow, and so far, it has only recovered halfway.

The crystal pillar only lit up on the first level, which was expected by Bor and Bexia. However, there were nine stars that lit up, which surprised Bor for a moment. He quickly asked, "I heard Ophelia say that you only started practicing magic after coming to the academy, right?"

"Well, roughly! About a month before the start of school," Bexia replied truthfully. After all, she was now her own teacher, and there was no need to hide anything.

"So, you've only been practicing for about half a year up until now?"

"Roughly!"

"Good! I understand. I will prepare a special magic potion for you. It'll be on the table, and you have to remember to drink it every day until you break through to the lower-level magic!"

"I will remember!"

"Then you can go back for now! I'll have someone notify you if there's anything."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. The key to the attic is my magic seal. And don't bring anyone else in."

"I understand, teacher!" Bexia felt that Bor was a little long-winded, but she still respected him as her teacher.

When Bexia left the attic, Bor's face changed. He looked at the crystals still glowing and a smile spread across his face. He muttered, "Genius! This is true genius. To have lower-level magic in just half a year, it's comparable to the elves and even the recorded Elf Kings. I can already see the birth of a magic sovereign, and it's happening under my guidance!"

The so-called Elf Kings were not like the current crowned kings. They surpassed the limits of kings and reached a level that was unimaginable. They no longer used magic, but a superpower that was higher than magic. In the ancient texts discovered in ancient ruins, that power was called "magi-energy."

Legend has it that even a simple low-level magic, with the support of magi-energy, can unleash the power of super magic. This shows the huge difference between magic and magi-energy.

Bor was ecstatic here. As a teacher who had no direct descendants and was taking on a disciple for the first time, encountering such a strong talent was a deadly attraction to them. He could say that he had already reached his limits to be able to come this far. It was almost impossible for him to break free from the shackles on himself and become a magic sovereign!

In terms of strength, he had already stood among the top group in the continent. He didn't value power, otherwise, with his talent, his brother wouldn't have taken the throne instead of him. Now, what could still cause ripples in his heart was probably only fame and reputation. With his current foundation, if he could cultivate a magic sovereign that hadn't existed in the human world for thousands of years, breaking the so-called limit of human kings, then as Bexia's teacher, Bor's name would be sung by people for thousands of years, immortalized for eternity!
