Chapter 22
In a small but neatly kept room a dripping wet handsome youth was standing naked, His body was Chiseled and his muscles exuded Explosive strength . A beautiful black haired female was wiping his body off of water droplets religiously.
The Youth was Leylin, Since his exploration into the Dylan Gardens 4 months has passed, 2 months ago he finally received the order to return to academy and today he is going to set off.
"A.I.Chip, Show the progress of Grand Knight Techniques next level Optimization "
[Beep! Task Grand Knight technique Upgrade Completion :- 56%! Branded swordsman data needed to Further the process! ]
There are many branches of Grand Knight Secret Technique, each providing a solace ability, Interested in this, Leylin has started to collect a huge stock of different Grand Knight Meditation Technique.
Technique like these are regarded as Family Treasure and are hard to collect but in Magus World, there is nothing you can't get, if you are ready to pay the price.
Leylin sold one Extinct herb ' Moonlight Queen ', through dubious channels which decreased his profits to 70%, but it was still enough to Buy a huge stock of Grand Knight technique.
Throughout the 4 month, he has completed his Body refining and also set up the Restrictions and curse spells on the herb storage Hall.
' Hmmm, I guess I will need to get that Branded swordsman technique , Till now I have observed that many Advanced Knight Meditation technique seems to be a simpler version of a greater technique presumably a incomplete Branded Swordsman one. '
"Anna, tell everyone to meet me in the dinning Hall" Leylin commanded.
"Yes, Master" Anna nodded and tried to stand up but suddenly she felt a hand on her head, looking up she saw lust filled eyes of Leylin.
" But, before that, Should you not serve your master. In your full 'Strength' " leylin smirked.
" Yes master " Anna said happily.
.....
In the centre of the Dining hall, a long table was placed. They also laid a thick, white cloth on the table, and arranged silver forks and spoons, plates and other cutleries.
The table was already filled with many delicacies and wine, It complemented the combination of dishes and was a tantalising display.
Leylin immediately sat at the most respected position and looked at the group in front of him.
Immediately, to the left and right sides of Leylin, were Fraser and Greem respectively. As Freed, Garvin and Dexter were after them in the order of strength. All of their body exuded great strength.
Leylin has tailor made Advanced Knight Meditation technique for them , and as of now all his Servents are at Grand Knight Level.
As for Anna, she awaited behind Leylin silently, like a dutiful serving maid. Her status was Highest among the Servants. Her strength has also stepped onto Knight Ranking.
Leylin has given them resources and some left over Soaks in his medical baths increasing their strength.
"Young Master!"
The masses around the long table stood up and bowed.
" Glenn, Has there been any movement as of late in Zither Moon Town" Leylin nodded and asked.
" Young Master, there has been some scuffle between few acolytes of different academy " Glenn.
"Hmm... Don't bother with it then , from now on just focus on protecting the mansion, there is no need to keep an eye. Things are going to get out of hands soon "
Leylin has ordered to his men to keep track of any weird movement around the area, as expected Great Magus Serholm inheritance grounds maps has been surfacing now. As soon as the Bloodbath ends, things will get muddy here.
Leylin has already set up a facade which will make his Villa appear as a Official Magus hideout, with that only no Acolyte will dare to cause trouble here.
"Everyone! As you know I have to leave for a while!" Leylin's eyes swept the crowd.
" As usual Anna will act as the House Keeper with all of you following her orders , Make sure to keep her safe "
"Yes Master" All Knight nodded.
No one ever dares to defy Leylin orders, it's not only because of their training as slave and fear of their Master wrath, it is also the utmost reverence for him.
Leylin looked at them signaling to start eating, he has decided to experiment about the Path Of Knights, He refuse to believe that this is a track of no future. Many Magus research on body mutation, enabling them to achieve great physical prowess he wants to combine this aspect and merge both paths.
If a Knight of unparallel strength and speed were to match a Magus, he will strike them down even before they know what hit them. If one aspect of power crosses a certain threshold other weakness become faint.
' I don't want to forsake the The Path of the Magus, I just want to create one for me and the first step towards this is, getting my hands on Branded swordsman data 'Leylin eyes shined brightly.

"
* Pitter Patter! *
The sky turned dark, and bean sized drops of rain fell on the ground, initiating countless splashes.
* Thud Thud Thud! * A dark, handsome steed continually dashed along the road, and the scenery on both sides hurriedly retreated. Rainwater fell onto the body of a Knight, but was blocked by a raincoat.
By the time when it was midnight, the downpour stopped, and the Knight sought shelter in a cave.
The Knight took off his coat, revealing a young face with brown hair and eyes that glittered like jewels.
" A. I. Chip, Show the advanced Transfiguration Spell "
[Transfiguration Spell: rank 0 spell. Effect: Ability to camouflage Spiritual Force for an extended period of time. Consumption: 5 spiritual force, 5 Magical Power a day]
With the Research on Spirits, Leylin was able to optimize Transfiguration Spell and with the help of Notes and books from Serholm, He was able to take it up a notch. Now until a Peak Rank 1 Magus thoroughly inspects him, he will appear like a normal Level 3 Acolyte.
There is low chances that a Rank 2 Magus or That Rank 3 Magus from lighthouse of the night will be bothered to inspect him even if they did, will someone of that status lower themselves to some secret of Acolyte. Highly Unlikely!
"Now I should initiate the communicative method that Kroft gave me before! "
After removing the plug, he used the pink coloured potion to draw a mysterious rune on the ground. It was cursive and winding, like a worm.
* Sssii! * Pink smoke rose into the air continuously, before finally turning into the shape of a large pink ear.
"Who is this? This energy wave?" Beside the ear, Kroft's voice sounded, carrying many other static noises with it.
"It's me! Professor!" Leylin spoke softly.
"This voice! These spiritual force waves! You are Leylin! You have actually become a level 3 acolyte!" Astonishment could be heard in Kroft's voice.
For fourth grade acolytes, if they wanted to advance from a level 2 acolyte to a level 3 acolyte, it often required at least 3 years of constructing the mind runes and reinforcing of the sea of consciousness.
Although Leylin didn't particularly achieve the impossible, The case of having such advancement in 3 years is mostly due to great amount of resources and guidance, which Leylin had neither of.
"You are only 17 this year, yet you have entered the realm of a level 3 acolyte!" Kroft's voice, which was usually stable, carried a trace of excitement in it, "An acolyte who is level 3 before the age of 20 often has an extremely huge chance of advancing to an official Magus. However, the numbers of such acolytes are extremely rare. Even your senior, Merlin, only advanced to a level 3 acolyte when he was 21.
However, striking it rich silently was always Leylin's norm of handling his affairs. Towards his mentor's astonishment, Leylin only bowed and said, "I was only lucky, and found a rare Void Flower ."
Leylin didn't show much originality in the excuse because he couldn't be bothered with it.
"Void Flower?" Kroft's shock was relayed through the ear. "Such a precious magician resource could also be found by you That is a top grade material of which one petal can cost several thousands of magic crystals. It can even aid a magician in advancing."
What followed next was that the mentor and student spoke of Leylin's recent journeying experiences. When Kroft learned that Leylin had successfully completed the mission from the academy, he expressed his congratulations.
"Listen to me Leylin, The recall of acolytes, this time, had indeed been approved by the chairman and board of directors. I can assure you that there is no lie in the recall, but."
"Originally, if you were still a level 2 acolyte, I would most likely have not approved of you returning to the academy. However, now that you are a level 3 acolyte, things are different. Let me ask you, do you wish to advance to an official Magus?"
Kroft asked suddenly.
Leylin inwardly rolled his eyes, being full aware that this Master Kroft is talking about the shitty Grine Water, still he showed feigned intrest.
"Yes"
"If that is the case, then come back! When you're here, I'll tell you everything! There isn't much time now." The pink ear shuddered and exploded immediately, turning into a huge cloud of smoke as it dissipated into the air.
In the empty cave, Kroft's voice finally resounded one last time, "Heed my words! This opportunity is extremely rare but is also accompanied by danger. If you wish to walk further down the path of a Magus, then hurry back!"
