As soon as I arrived at the dark alley where I sensed Diorno’s presence, I immediately recoiled in shock upon seeing the poor state of the man in front of him.

  When I saw this, there’s only ohing that went through my mind.

  Diorno is about to kill someone! A great sin for a devout believe like him!

  Just as Diorno was about to deliver the final blow that would rehe poor man on a near-death state or eveh itself already.

  I unsciously raised my arm and willed my demoniergy to flow through the ring on my finger, maniputing Diorno’s arm muscles.

  I don’t know how I knew how to do this, it just automatically came from my mind, like an instinct, another limb of some sort.

  Diornled upon my magiable to exert his erength to shake off my trol.

  As for me, I alsled at first, it was like using my pinky to hold a 10-kilograms worth of weight and for every sed, I’ll add another finger until I was fortable.

  “Who!?” Diorno yelled, looking around him, searg for the culprit, which is me.

  “You’re uting a sin, Diorno. You know that, right?” I stepped out of the darkness and showed my figure.

  “Chamber?” I see his eyes widening in surprise after seeing it was me.

  “What are you doing? I’m not itting a sin, Chamber. I’m just easing God’s burden.” Diorno answered, as if it was the right ao my question.

  “God’s burden? God doesn’t feel burden. Heck, I’m sure it does in his vocabury.” My reply earned fusion from Diorno and even the man he’s beating up.

  “Vocabury? What’s that?”

  “It’s plicated. What I’m trying to say is that God knows this as it happen for a reason.” I cleared my throat and expined.

  “….You ’t vince me, Chamber. Not someone like you.” Diorno said with a determione.

  We stared at each other’s eyes for a while before sighing and released my magi his arm.

  Turning around to leave, I said for the st time.

  “I’m leaving. Hope to see you still in one piece.” With that being said for the st, I looked behind me and gave him a o look before juring a portal with a thought a.

  ***

  Ba the farm house, I suddenly heard the sound of ughter.

  Looking at the side of the farm house, I saw the siblings, pying with Augustus while Johane being youhan Belle, was mature enough to stand on the side with crossed arms.

  The kid’s experience must’ve made him mature this early.

  As soon as I made my presenown, the four quickly stopped whatever they’re doing and shifted their attentions at me.

  “Master!” They all bowed their heads in unison.

  “At ease, my dear students.” I puffed up my chest in pride as the four little sorcerers lined up beside one another.

  I couldn’t help but feel a sense of aplishment after seeing this.

  Sure it ’t be pared to the real Masters of the Mystic Arts ba the Marvel World but I’m going there alright, I just ime.

  “Alright, listen up. I’ll make this short annou quick.” I said, gaining their attention on me first before tinuing.

  “I’m sure you all have gotten to know each other during my short absence so I won’t bother introdug you all to one another.” Seeing them nod their heads, I tinued.

  “One month. In just one month, I’ll make sure to teach you all the basics of being a sorcerer, only then, I’ll assign various missions that you will tackle to bee fully known as a true Sorcerer.” At the end of my words, I see the excitement palpable in the air as the children were full of smiles on their faces.

  “Are we clear?” I finished.

  “Yes, Master!”

  “I said, are we clear!” I increased the volume of my voice, making them repeat their words but matg my volume.

  “YES, MASTER!”

  “Good! So prepare yourselves because this time, we’ll spent the entire month in gruelling process of honing your skills and magic!”

  ***

  True to my words, only a single week has passed and the entire vilge has grown aced to four children running ps several times around the vilge.

  “Faster! I don’t want to see anyone sg!” Running behind them, I used a long stihanced with a hardening ruo sp the ass of whoever runs st, f them to pete with the others and try to outrun one another just to avoid the punishment.

  Smack!

  “Augustus! Ying behind! Run as fast as you , even if you have to gallop like a horse!” Smag Augustus’s ass like an asian parent, I yelled at him like a drill sergeant.

  “Y-Yes, Master!” With that, despite being too exhausted, he pushed himself beyond his body’s exhausted state.

  What I’m doing to them is not being cruel. But to force them to go beyond their limits.

  Obviously this isn’t how sorcerers were trained ba the Marvel Universe. However, the reason I’m doing this is because I want to shape them more than just a mere fodder.

  In the Marvel Universe, there are almost thousands of sorcerers all across the Universe ahe strong ones only be ted with two hands.

  What I want is for my thousand sorcerers to be as strong as the strong ones who be ted with two hands.

  In yman’s terms, I want a mix of quality and quantity for my sorcerers.

  And I’ll be starting with these four.

  Aire hour has passed and we’re back at the farm house, where everyone aside from me were passed out on the grass.

  Even Tam, a low-css devil was breathing heavily and trying to stay awake as much as he .

  You see, uhe others, I pced gravity runes on Tam’s shirt, tripling his gravity pared to average, making his marathon harder thahers.

  “You’re too harsh on their first week of training.” I hear Balthazar e to my side while sipping on his m coffee.

  “It’s necessary.” I replied without looking at him.

  We both stayed silent for a while before Balthazar spoke.

  “Is it true? The Great War? Will the Satans really end it month?” I sense a hint of nervousness and anticipation in his voice.

  “Yeah. And that will be the time where humanity will be left vulnerable and defenseless against the beings who might take advantage of the chaos.” I responded.

  “…We o be ready them. I already sent the letters to some of my old wizard friends and some of Master Merlin’s followers. They’ll arrive before the end of the month.”

  Well, I’m gd.

  A few days earlier, I asked Balthazar to see if he still tae of the remaining good wizards to help defend humanity and if possible, coerce them to join the Mystic Society to further protect their kind.

  Such a rge force of untamed individuals are better being under a single bahan by themselves.

  And holding that banner would be me, of course.

  As Merlin’s desdant, they’ll definitely show resped sider my offer.

  “If you estimate, how many are you positive that will e and how strong are they?” Hearing my question, Balthazar fell into deep ption before answering.

  “Definitely won’t be below a hundred. When Merlin was alive, human wizards practically worship him as their God and even earhe respect of Hecate, the Goddess of Magi the Greek Pantheon.”

  “As for their strength. I’m not sure, it’s been a while since I entered a wizard like me, perhaps as strong as myself, or a siep below me.” I nodded his head at those words.

  So in other words, as long as I make my moves right, I gain a hundred men army of Middle-css Wizards.

  Sounds good enough.

  Meeting Balthazar has givehing but positive rewards.

  “How about the Mystic spells I taught you. Have you learhem yet?” As soon as I shifted the topic to this, Balthazar’s face beamed up like a child seeing her favourite toy.

  “I already learhe Mystic Whip and the Tao Mandas without the need of my ring. As for the portal, it took me just a single day to learn it, so it’s not worth mentioning.” Balthazar rubber his nose as he finished his words.

  I don’t know if he’s being sarcastic ant. It’s hard to tell his expression from all that facial hair on his face.

  It’s almost unreizable that he’s Nicos Cage.

  “How about you. You’ve been practig ic system. Anything goo-” Before Balthazar could finish his words, I lifted my hand up and the grouween us rose and took form of a small feli.

  “Meow!” The Earth Cat circled around me, rubbing her body on both my legs as she purred.

  Of course, just because I said that I’ll dedicate my entire month into training my students to bee fine sorcerers, doesn’t mean I’ll sck off, especially after receiving such powerful magic.

  Though I haven't experimented on the Drag yet to discover its secrets but I’ve been training with the Merlin Magic.

  Aside from finally being able to create life from it, I was able to determine why Merlin didn’t build a strong force with this kind of magic.

  It’s because for every life created, ed energy for every sed.

  A me tell you this. It’s not small. But also ne.

  Just mild.

  Let’s put the Earth Cat for example, it would take aire month before depleting my reserves if the Earth Cat tio exist ierial world.

  Now, this is just a simple cat. What if it’s a dragon.

  Would it deplete my reserves in a single day? Or less?

  No wonder Merlin isn’t the stro in this world.

  As for me, thanks to my rge reserves and my energy being a Demoniergy instead of mana, which is thicker and potent.

  Due to these pos, I st lohan Merli es to life creation.

  “A cat? Really?” Balthazar felt like ughing at my cat.

  Hoh? Bullying a newbie I see?

  With a simple and from my mind, the lovely cat who was rubbing her body on s suddenly turned feral and unched violently towards Balthazar.

  “Ah! Ow! Stop her!” With a smirk, I ignored his screams and made another earth cat to pet.

  ‘That’s what you deserve for insulting a cat.’
