“Now that I know your capabilities, I also know how to train you. However, for the next week, I want you to try your best to learn these magic spells.” Eve retrieved a spatial ring and placed it on the floor beside him.
“There are four four magic spells inside the ring from Tier 1 to Tier 4. I would’ve taught you even stronger magic spells, but that would require too much time for you to learn, so we’ll have to wait until after the tournament.”
Eve was unaware of Leo’s most frightening talent— his ability to memorize magic circles.
“Tier four? I can learn all of these magic spells in a few hours.” Leo said.
“What?” Eve couldn’t believe her ears and said, “I know you’re talented, but let’s not pat ourselves in the back too much. There’s no way you can learn a Tier 4 magic spell in just a few hours.”
A smile appeared on Leo’s face as he spoke, “Then if I manage to learn it, can you teach me the magic spell that you’d just used to defeat me?”
Eve narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, ‘Can he really learn a Tier 4 magic spell so quickly…?’
“Three hours. If you can do it in less than three hours, I will teach you the magic spell.” Eve gave him a response a moment later.
“Great. Then I will begin now.”
Leo retrieved all four items from the spatial ring and went straight for the Tier 4 magic spell.
The magic circles were imprinted on a scroll, which felt quite old-fashioned, but Leo liked it because it felt more fantasy than learning magic spells through the internet.
Once he found the scroll with a magic circle with 4 rings, he began staring at it, his gaze so intense that it might bore a hole in the scroll.
“I’m going to take a bath.” Eve wasn’t going to sit around and wait for him, so she left the training room and went to take a long and hot bath.
An hour and half later.

Perhaps it was due to having more experience, but he’d managed to learn the magic spell much quicker than before.
After learning the spell, Leo decided to try it out.
Whoosh!
A massive wall of flames that could reach the ceiling and split the room in half appeared before him.
“This spell is pretty awesome.” Leo said out loud.
“It is meant to limit the enemies’ movement and block their path.” Lilith said.
Leo began fiddling with the magic spell even more, trying to create all sorts of shapes with it.
Eve returned to the training room exactly three hours later.
“It’s been three hours, Leo. Have you memorized the magic circle yet?” Eve entered the room with a cup of coffee in her grasp.
In response to her question, Leo pointed his palms at her.
The following moment, a wall of flames in the shape of a circle surrounded her.
“…”
Eve nearly dropped her cup of coffee after seeing it.
“What do you think?” Leo asked her with a cheeky smile on his face.
“You actually managed to learn it in 3 hours…?” She muttered in a dazed voice.
“An hour and half.” Leo corrected her.
A nervous smile appeared on Eve’s face when she realized the truth.
“I see… I will be back.” And without saying another word, she turned around and disappeared from the training room.
“Where is she going?” Leo mumbled to himself.
“She’s probably going to find more magic spells for you to learn now that she’s aware of your abnormal learning speed.
“Is that so?”
Eve returned to the room an hour later.
“Here.” She handed him three scrolls.
Leo looked at each of them.
“Tier 5, Tier 6, and a Tier 7 magic spell?” Leo mumbled in a dazed voice.
“Yes, and the spell I used to defeat you is the Tier 7 magic spell. I was going to teach you the Tier 7 magic spell next year, but I have decided to move up our training schedule.”
“Oh, even though you have these powerful magic spells, you should still learn and train the weaker ones.”
“I know.” Leo nodded.
“Then I will leave you alone for now. Call me when you’ve finished learning all of these magic spells. I have to change your training schedule, after all.”
“Okay.”
Once Eve left the training room again, Leo began memorizing the magic spells she left behind.

It took him almost five days, but Leo now has a whole new set of fire magic spells.
Leo went to get Eve after learning the Tier 7 magic spell.
“You’re finished already?” Eve didn’t think he would find her so early.
“Yes.”
“Even the Tier 7 magic?”
“Yes.”
“Seriously?” She couldn’t believe it.
“Yes.”
“…”
‘This little monster! It took me months to learn just the Tier 7 spell, and he did it in a few days?!’ Eve felt like pulling her hair out of frustration, but she resisted such urges.
Sometime later, Eve brought Leo to the training room so that she could confirm that he had really managed to learn these magic spells.
Once they were in the training room, Leo began showing off his new magic spells.
