59 A Little About Millfall
After discovering what his powers could do, Vicente trained his physical abilities for another full day, reaching the point where he was confident in using his mana to strengthen his body to whatever extent he preferred.
Before this training, he had sometimes damaged parts of his house, denting the locks and taps but also breaking several glasses and plates. 𝘦𝘯.𝘰𝘳𝘨
In other moments before these hours of training, he also felt excessive weakness, something related to the instability of the mana in his body.
But after extravasating much of his strength and training for hours in his training room, he managed to master his own abilities well enough to control his mana very well.
Now if he wanted to have only the strength of an average person to shake hands or even eat without destroying plates, cups, and cutlery, he could and would have the ability to use more of his strength to destroy doors if he so desired.
However, Vice still lacked the ability to master the powers of his magical form and better understand his Red Pentagram.
So, at dawn on the second day after Vicente’s Awakening, he and Rory set off toward a training site in Millfall.
…
Millfall had a range of services capable of serving low-level magicians with excellence. This town had professionals of the most varied types, from doctors to blacksmiths and even musicians.
One’s magical form determines one’s profession. In this society, there was no possibility of a person doing that which went against their characteristics.
If one was not born to be a doctor, there were not many possibilities other than medicine for this person. Their abilities would grow related to the activities of doctors, and it would be almost impossible for such a person to become, for example, a blacksmith.
But this was not a problem in Polaris Realm. Usually, people born with certain affinities had such a vocation for these areas that they would hardly not want to follow that path.
Millfall had all kinds of professionals but also services and resources for all these different kinds of magicians.
Even though there were endless paths to growth, magicians generally needed some common ground, regardless of their specialization.
Magicians needed resources to develop their bodies and souls, artifacts useful not only in combat but in training, as well as safe places to develop their skills.
Not everyone could afford a good training room in their home, but many needed such a place, especially after advancing and adding new Pentagrams.
In the same way as after Awakening, after advancing from one stage, one would need to undergo a period of adaptation.
Hence, to meet the demand for training places, there were places in every city, like Millfall, where one could pay to train in special rooms.
There were rooms of various levels and with different purposes in such places.
Some could be used for alchemists to use their magic refining skills, while the most common were those for training combat skills since most of the magicians in Polaris Realm were of the warrior type.
Knowing all of Millfall and where The Archdemon Arena was, Rory and Vicente quickly arrived in front of one of the largest buildings locally.
The Archdemon Arena was a place with special training rooms and a large stadium where weekly battles were held to entertain the population.
There were monthly and weekly competitions in the arena. In these, prizes were given to the winning competitors in their categories, but the spectators were the ones who won the most, having the chance to see battles that were hard to witness in cities.
When they arrived at this place, Vicente and Rory ignored the many people there to buy tickets, place bets or simply chat in the surroundings and went to the reception in the entrance hall.
They didn’t have to wait long there, and soon an attendant welcomed them at the counter, “Good morning, how can I help you?”
“Hello, I would like a level 2 training room,” Rory said but was interrupted by Vicente.
“A level 3 room will be better.” Vice squeezed one of his friend’s shoulders and said, smiling at that beautiful woman in a uniform that had a pattern similar to that of earth stewardesses.
‘Level 3? But that’s the kind of room used by Senior Apprentice! Why does Vice want a room like this?’ Rory narrowed his eyes but didn’t ask anything immediately.
They could even ask for a level 6 room, the most advanced one in The Archdemon Arena. But paying for something useful to Acolytes would be a waste of resources. For their level, a level 2 room should be more than enough for them not to damage anything.
However, Vicente seemed to have something else in mind.
“Okay, it’s 2 silver coins per hour. How long will you be staying?” That attendant smiled, seeing that these were two fancy young men.
‘What do they think they will do in a level 3 room? Are they trying to get my attention?’ She thought internally, sensing the level of the two. ‘But if you guys want to give your coins to the arena, so be it.’
“Hmm, let’s stay for six hours.” Vicente put 12 silver coins in front of that woman before getting the key to one private room.
If they had come to this place later, they might have had to wait for a room to become vacant. But early in the day, there were more vacant rooms to be rented.
After getting his key, Vice went with Rory to the room assigned to them, following the instructions of that attendant.
Their guards were not by their side at the moment. One of them was watching the Fuller property, while the others were either waiting for Vice and Rory or taking care of things ordered by their leader.
On the way to the area of the individual training rooms, Rory looked at Vicente and asked in a low voice. “Why did you ask for a level 3 room? You know it’s 50% more expensive than a level 2 room, right?”
“Hmm, and I also know that if we damage the level 2 room, we will have to pay a fine of 10 times the room’s rent,” Vicente said in a low voice.
The level 2 room costs 8 silver coins for 6 hours of use. So if he damaged it, he would have to pay 80 silver coins as a fine to The Archdemon Arena!
Vice didn’t have coins to spend like that, but he thought he had the power to damage a place like that!
“What? And why would that be a concern?” Rory did not understand as he had not yet seen or felt his friend’s abilities.
“You will understand in a few moments. For some reason, my first ability is pretty powerful.” Vicente smiled at Rory, pretending not to know where this mysterious power came from.
With these words, they arrived in front of room number 39, the same as the key in Vicente’s hands.
