"Hmmm….I have a picture of your training routine. To solidify that, show me your stats," asked Circe.

In Arcadia, one's stat was as intimate as their private parts. They couldn't show it to just anybody….even close relatives like cousins or siblings.

However, Reve trusted Circe. The witch had no reason to harm him. In fact, he viewed himself as the only thing keeping Circe from fully dissociating from Arcadia.

As soon as he willed it, numerous silhouettes of Nixy windows appeared in his face. They weren't visible to Circe but if he thought hard enough, Circe would be able to see it.

The witch's eyes twinkled as she over-analyzed each content in his stats. Her eyes glared through everything. By the time she was done, she had a greater understanding of Reve far more than the person himself.

She said, "While not appearing abnormal, you possess a few unique qualities. Your race is something the likes of Arcadia have never seen before. It would make good magical research. However, we would focus on that later. For now, we have to deal with the pressing issue; your advancement to a full 3rd Circle Arcanist. It is not advisable to delay that."

"I'm aware of that."

"Then, have you thought deeply of what you want."

"Yes."

As stated before, Reve was already equipped with the knowledge of 3rd Circle Arcanists years ago. Back then, he was given an option by her. He could choose to convert to the school of elementalism or he could stay and traverse the difficulties of arcanism.

It might seem like an easy question but there was a reason why the rest of the world picked elementalism over arcanism. The latter was too rigid while the former was simple but still possessed the same level of effect as the latter.

However, all these didn't concern Reve!

He had already made his decision years ago. In fact, he had begun his preparations and completed one criterion of the advancement.

"What is your decision?"

"I want to continue my path as an arcanist," told Reve.

"Why? You are a genius, you would excel in other schools," reminded Circe.

She had known of Reve's talent in magic years ago. Simply put, he was rated around her talent level, which was something not seen in eras.

Reve explained his reason, "The school of arcanism is my destiny. I walked in there blindly but I was never discontent. It is my passion. Arcanism resonates with the ancient secrets I'm very much fond of. All other schools don't matter much to me. As you can see, I'm not discouraged by the intricacies of this school."

"Understood," Circe smiled.

She needed to hear that before she continue her teaching. As a mentor, she tried so hard to not influence her student's perspectives.

Circe nodded, "We shall begin now. I see you have built your [Mana Veins] and it had merged well with your [Mana hearts]. That takes you one step closer to becoming a 3rd Circle Arcanist."

"We shall discuss the next steps collectively. In no particular order, [Energy Absorption Spell], [Ethereal Linking Spell], [Spatial Spell], [Elemental or Spiritas]."

Reve had revised all this but he allowed her to speak.

Basically, [Energy Absorption Spell] was the specific spell the arcanist would use to reap magi from the elemental planes.

[Ethereal Linking Spell] was the spell the arcanist would use to link the absorption of magi to himself. Without that, everything would be in vain.

[Spatial Spell] was beyond him. He would need Circe for that. A spatial spell would open the gates of the elemental plane to allow the execution of the process.

However, [Elemental or Spritas] was something he had to do himself. Elemental were the overlords of elemental planes. They were born with the pure energy of the plane. Whilst, spiritions1 were another inhabitant of elemental planes. They were similar to magical beasts, except they were born in elemental planes.

Reve had to choose who he wanted to protect his [Energy Absorption Spell] and [Ethereal Linking Spell] as he couldn't enter elemental planes. This matter was probably of high importance. Judging by who he picked, the success of his transition to a full 3rd Circle Arcanist would be picked.

However, there was a certain glaring problem. Reve couldn't exactly anyone. Elementals were prideful while spiritions normally had a few screws loose in their heads. Also, the methods for summoning them were all different.

For instance, Brun, an elemental lord of fire was said to only answer the beckons of those with a great affinity to the element of fire. Clot, an elemental lord of darkness was said to require a ritual of vileness; the summoner would need to offer up the fresh blood of any of their relatives. Senso, an elemental lord of life, would only answer if one presents the underwear of maidens!

Hence, he needed to consider the method of beckoning.

Circe glanced at him. She could tell what he was thinking and offered, "I see you still remember the details. Let's start with something simple. The [Energy Absorption Spell]. They are different kinds of this spell archetype. Take this and pick one. Pay in mind that not a single one is greater than the other, what matters most is if the spell is suitable for you."

Circe sent a thin slip of paper his way. He caught it easily and digested the contents.

[ Reve's potential absorption spell

1. Illusion of Reason

2. Division of Energy

3.  Typhoon

4. Mouth of Adephagia

5. Neurono

6. Elemental Cage

...                        ]

The list revealed an exact hundred spells he could use. It also listed the details of each spell and its perks.

Reve spent a long time ruminating on each spell. 

'I need one for a [Nexus Cat],' he thought.

He had to factor in his physiology when choosing. As a [Nexus Cat], he could harbor a great amount of energy without breaking down. Hence, he took advantage of it. Nonetheless, the purity of the magi was also something he considered.

After a while, he smiled and picked out, "I pick this one. [Mouth of Adephagia]."
