Chapter 553  Good Fortune

He conjured a handful of chia seeds from his earring and threw them in the pond. As he watched the fish feast on the seeds, he grabbed the large gourd and poured some wine into a ceramic cup.

Leisurely sipping on the wine, he recalled all that happened in the past few years.

Life at Saratoga continued the way it did, except he had now become a research assistant for the Rank 3 Magus and the Department Head of the School of Summoning, Professor Mathilda Whitaker.

His in-depth research about the art of teleportation had garnered immense praise from not only her but also the other Rank 3 professors at Saratoga.

Of course, Adam hadn\'t divulged to them any information about his \'Blink\' teleportation that he used with the white lotus as the magical focus.

That was his trump card, after all.

Despite that, the insights he had gained into teleportation during the epiphany that he\'d had during his battle with Stratford was more than enough for the faculty at Saratoga to be astonished.

Other than that, he continued his research and experiments in herbalism, enhancing his proficiency as a Herbalist by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, he had also begun dabbling in the art of poisons. Although he\'d always had memories pertaining to this field belonging to the two Herbalists from the Greater Universe, he had never been interested in them.

But after seeing how deadly the effects of wolfsbane poison had been on Stratford, he believed that poison attacks could also be added to his arsenal.

The most drastic change to his life, however, was brought about by rune magic!

Seven years were enough to master all the knowledge that those books from the Brotherhood provided.

But the more Adam learned, the more he realized how little he knew about rune magic.

Especially the insights that the founder had written in his journal. The rune magic from his world was far more advanced than anything Tron could produce.

The thing that he had been looking most forward to, the mana-gathering runic formation, had now been made possible. Because of that, his progress in his path as a Magus had advanced exponentially.

This was only natural. After all, Tron was nothing compared to the myriad magical civilizations in the Greater Universe.

Thanks to rune magic, there were many things that Adam could now perform, making his life as a Magus far more efficient.

The thing that he had been looking most forward to, the mana-gathering runic formation, had now been made possible. Because of that, his progress in his path as a Magus had advanced exponentially.

As a result, in the last seven years, he had already crossed the halfway mark of Rank 2 - Mana Liquefaction Magus!

He suddenly looked southward, in the direction of the Southern Federation. His eyes flashed with concern as he muttered, "Old man…"

In the past seven years, he had made numerous trips to the Murky Mountains. But every time he went there, to the place where Berger had entered close-door seclusion, he found that the old gnome still hadn\'t come out.

If it wasn\'t for Blackie constantly standing guard outside the cave around the clock, Adam would have abandoned everything here at Saratoga and shifted to the Murky Mountains.

However, Blackie assured him that everything was going fine. Close-door mindfulness where Magi advanced to the next rank took several years to complete.

"If it\'s meant to be, it will be…"

Suddenly, he sensed something through his Sphere of Resonance, causing a faint smile to bloom on his face.

"Ah, they\'re here."

About ten minutes later, three figures riding fine steeds arrived at Adam\'s place.

One was a young man in his early twenties with blond hair and a set of black eyes. It was the Rank 2 - Mana Liquefaction Magus, Arthur Doyle.

The other young man of similar age was a person with dark brown hair tied into a loose ponytail. He had silver eyes that shone with brilliance. It was the Rank 2 - Mana Liquefaction Magus, Aiden Thorne.

Finally, the third person was a beautiful young lady with soft brown hair and pale blue eyes. She radiated an aura of vibrant vitality.

It was none other than the Rank 2 - Mana Liquefaction Magus, Eleiney Strange.

In the years following the Stratford Incident, under Adam\'s tutelage, his three students had made great progress in both the analytical and spiritual aspects of magic and grown to become powerful Mana Liquefaction Magi!

The three of them dismounted their horses and walked toward the pond with wide and confident steps.

Then, they approached the boulder where Adam was sitting and simultaneously got on one knee, respectfully addressing him.

"Greetings, Professor!"

Their respect and admiration for their mentor came from the deepest recesses of their hearts.

When they became Mana Liquefaction Magi just recently, they believed that they had already caught up to Adam who they looked up to.

But that was simply their wishful thinking!

The day they had advanced to Rank 2, they had approached Adam and challenged him to a spar.

One second.

That was all it took for Adam to put them inside an illusion and show them just how vast the difference was.

When the three of them gazed at Adam\'s broad back, all they saw was an insurmountable mountain.

It had become their life goal to climb this towering mountain!

"Are you ready?" Adam asked in a gentle voice.

"Yes!" The three excitedly replied in unison.

"Good." Adam smiled as he turned around, facing them. He poured the wine into three more cups and passed it on to them.

The students respectfully received the cups from him. This was the first time that Adam had offered them wine, causing them to be surprised.

"I do not know how long it will be before we meet again," Adam began.

"But I\'m confident that given your magical prowess, you will be able to travel these lands unhindered. Of course, that doesn\'t mean that you should go around picking a fight with every other person."

Art, Aiden, and Eleiney listened patiently, nodding from time to time.

"The Twilight Brotherhood is an alliance of individuals from all sorts of cultures and backgrounds. Its goal is to maintain peace, search for and preserve ancient arcane knowledge, and protect the innocent, whether they be mortals or Magi."

Adam paused for a moment before continuing, "The individual mission they\'ve given each of you will test if you\'re truly fit to join this secret society."

He raised his hand that was holding the wine cup and toasted with a smile.

"For that, I wish you good fortune!"
