Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After finishing meditation class, the students went to the alchemy class.

Zevien was not interested in any classes except for the mystic chef because he had already learned whatever they were going to teach, and as such, he skipped the class with Touma sir's permission.

"Sir, I have already chosen my magic occupation. I want to become a mystic chef," Zevien said to Touma-sir.

Both of them were currently in his office inside the academy.

"Are you absolutely sure of it?" Touma asked as he drummed his fingers on the table, "some students have already chosen their main occupation, but my advice still stands If you are good at multiple occupations."

"I know," Zevien nodded, "I am absolutely sure about having the mystic chef as my magic occupation. I will also study basic knowledge about other occupations via books, so I don't really want to attend the classes."

"You do you know that if you fail to reach the expectation set by the academy after six months, you will be directly expelled. There will be minor tests every six months and major every year for three years."

"I know. Don't worry," Zevien said with an assertive smile, "I will have high marks in all fields since it's faster if I self-study."

"Fine," Touma sighed before asking with a doubt, "so where do you want to go by skipping the class today?"

"I have to visit some places in the city. Naturally, I will come back right before the last class."

"Alright, you can go but don't cause any trouble," Touma resigned as he gave permission to Zevien.

Zevien nodded with a smile, "I'll be careful."

…

After leaving the academy gates, Zevien stopped a taxi and sat inside.

"Where do you want to go?" the old taxi driver asked.

"Starhouse Orphanage," Zevien said before he activated his Digi-watch and started browsing the Internet for some information.

"Alright," the taxi driver nodded as he started driving.

'Skeleton Alchemist, I am coming,' Zevien with as he internally grinned while looking at the address of an Alchemy workshop on the Internet.

He then sent a message to Raven.

[Ma'am Raven, are the materials ready?]

*tin…*

[I've already sent one of my men to deliver them to your orphanage.]

[Thank you very much. I will give you the good news soon.] Zevien sent the message before he turned to look at the front.

Some people were walking and jogging while cars overtook the taxi as the taxi driver was driving at average speed. Many cars were flying in the sky on the sky route, but not everyone could afford flying cars.

*Screeeeee….*

*Dhoof…*

"What the….," Zevien was dumbfounded as the taxi hit a dog that suddenly arrived in front of it.

"Are you blind!?" a granny looking in her late sixties shouted.

The taxi driver got out of the car sweating and apologized, "I am sorry, madam. It was an accident, I-"

"Sorry?!" the granny screamed, "look how injured my it is, oh my poor Timmy."

The granny picked up the dog as it was slightly bleeding. She then looked at the driver angrily, "take out the money for its recovery! Now!"

*Wince…* The dog winced in pain.

"Wait," Zevien got out of the taxi as he spoke while raising his eyebrows, "old lady, stop bullshitting and move away. You clearly let go of the leash, and I also think that you deliberately let it jump on the road."

"Y-you…humph, stop slandering the victim! If you have proof, then show it. Otherwise, take out money!" the old lady spoke stuttered at first, but she quickly snapped.

Zevien smirked and approached her as he pointed his hand at the dog and activated his awakening magic's 2nd Vehemence, Somatic Happiness: Healing wave.

"I can also give proof, and doing that will shame you. So you better go now that I healed your dog," Zevien spoke in a low voice before he entered the taxi and also told the old taxi driver after looking at his nameplate, "Mr. Telion, let's go."

The taxi driver looked gratefully at Zevien as he went inside and started driving.

"Mr. Telion, why didn't you rebuke her? It was not your fault," Zevien asked with doubt.

"There's no camera on that road for two days, so I wouldn't be able to get proof that it was not my fault," Telion said with a sigh, "that's why I was driving slowly, but that bitch…hais~Anyway, thank you for the help, young man."

The taxi driver then smiled wryly with reminisce and continued, "I had also awakened a magic labyrinth that was all about healing, but I didn't appreciate it and lost the connection with it. My magic core was also destroyed due to my carelessness in a fight, so I can't even use normal magic spells. Sigh…"

Zevien was surprised, "that's rare. Although many people can't awaken their magic labyrinths, but it's rare to lose the connection."

"Hahaha, true. I was not satisfied with it, and I was more into fully offensive. I internally hated it and wanted something better, more offensive-oriented," Telion said before sighing, "because of my own mentality and thoughts, I lost the connection with my labyrinth."

"I have learned one thing from my life: never let go of something good just because you are not satisfied with it and want something better. One must appreciate even the tiny amount of good things. Because, no matter how small of a good thing happening to you it is, it's always better than bad things."

…

After fifteen minutes, they arrived at the Starhouse orphanage.

"Can you wait for a minute? After getting some things from here, I need a ride to Sun Post Mega Plaza."

"No problem," Telion nodded with a smile.

Zevien nodded and got out of the taxi as he entered the orphanage and directly went to the main office.

An old lady with a gentle expression was reading a newspaper in the office when Zevien entered. Seeing him, she was surprised but then smiled, "How was your first day at the academy?"

"Very good, mother Helena," Zevien said with a beaming smile.

"That's good," mother Helena gently smiled with a nod before she pointed at the corner of the office, "that's your parcel. Someone delivered it here ten minutes ago."

"Ah, great!" Zevien said with some enthusiasm as he picked up a square box half a meter big. It was a semi-metal box and looked sci-fi due to its design.

"Since you are here, then take this as well," said mother Helena as she stretched her hand with a rectangle cover in her hand after seeing Zevien picking up the box.

Zevien turned to her after picking up the box and seeing the allowance cover, he wryly smiled, "mother, I don't need it."

"Shut up and take it," Helena raised her eyebrows, "you have just entered the academy and have no means to earn money for now. So take it."

"But, gov-"

"I know that academy covers your expenses but wouldn't you need money when you go out with your friends or your girlfriend for a date?" Helena smiled gently as she said, "don't argue and take it."

Zevien put the box on the table and walked behind the table before hugging her, "mother, I will repay you soon and make this orphanage better than ever. Hehe, just wait for it."

"Silly boy, I know you will be able to do it," Helena said with pride in her voice, "alright, now go, or those kids won't let you go so easily if they know you are here."

"Haha, I will come to visit soon with some friends and good news," Zevien said with a small happy laugh as he put the cover inside his pocket and picked up the box before leaving.

…

After entering the taxi with the box, he said, "let's go, Mr. Telion."

*wroom…*

Inside the taxi, Zevien opened the box and saw a two-floor section inside the box with neatly arranged materials. At the bottom section of the box was a glass container, and inside it was a black rose with a slight red flamy aura around it, which was the only tier-3 material in the box, Nerfire Rose.

'Sorry, but I will be stealing your potion, Skeleton Alchemist.'
