SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Tung… Tung… Tung…"

Inside the combat room of the Sem family, a loud tearing noise reverberated all a the room as Kt smashed the target boards one after another.

"VACCUS DISSOLVO IMPETUM"

This time, Kt is not ev shouting the spell loudly. Like a person name, the spell played on his lips and the arrows left one after another form his bow, smashing the target boards.

Ruby, who stood outside, heard tremor noises from time to time. She wondered what Kt was doing inside.

Usually, people visit the Sem family for two purposes. One is pleasure, and the other is black magic to curse emies. Kt is the only outsider who has come to use the combat rooms in the last decade. That's why Ruby felt surprised to see a guy who came for a serious practice.

Inside the combat room, more than one hour passed, and Kt took a small break as his arm was feeling a little discomfort.

"My average proficicy improved to . With full focus, I can achieve 84. But the Void breaker Arrow is a defsive spell and I won't win a tournamt just with a defsive spell. It's better to start practicing an attack spell." Kt muttered, assessing his strgth and thinking of possible ways to win the tournamt.

He took out the Arcane Tome from the bracelet and began reading the details about the Arcane Bolt Arrow, which is an offsive, attack-type arrow spell.

ARCANE BOLT ARROW

Mantra: "Ard Ignis Telum" (BURNING FIRE BOLT)

The Arcane Bolt Arrow is a pott offsive spell, manifesting as a blazing projectile of arcane ergy. Wh invoked with the mantra "Ard Ignis Telum," this arrow ignites with intse flames, ready to unleash devastating destruction upon its target upon contact.

Crafted through meticulous spell work and imbued with conctrated magical power, it requires precise timing and expert aiming to unleash its full pottial.

A long description followed, indicating several precautions and effects of the Arcane Fire Bolt spell. Kt spt a lot of time taking note of every minute detail about the fire bolt arrow.

After that, he closed down the Arcane tome, sat in meditative posture, and practiced Agni mudra (also known as Sun mudra, fire-related: holding thumb and ring finger together, helps in ergy flow). The mantra played on his lips as he visualised the Arcane bolt arrow.

Time passed slowly, and Ruby, who stood outside, began feeling impatit. She is trained with extreme pleasure scriptures and has be reserved until now for trapping a big player. But standing outside a combat room made her irritated, and she is losing her patice slowly.

Kt finally stood up after one hour and picked up his Victor bow. As the aura tered inside, the snow- bow glowed in gold color, and Kt too took the warrior stance and got ready to unleash the Arcane bolt arrow.

He closed his eyes and drew the bow string; an aura arrow formed at the cross section. Kt oped his eyes and chose his target.

"ARDEN IGNIS TELUM"

Just as Kt shouted, a blazing fire lit up at the arrow point and began gulfing the tire arrow like a streak of gasoline. This spell worked faster than the void-breaker arrow, and Kt didn't has time to judge his arrow timing.

With the fear of arrow exploding in his hands, Kt released the arrow instantly. A streak of red lines stayed along the arrow path for a second.

'Pg…'

The arrow struck the edge of the target board. In a hurry, Kt missed, aiming the target board properly. But a loud blast followed on the place where an arrow struck the target board, and a number '' displayed, indicating proficicy.

"Thank God… It didn't explode in my hands. Otherwise, I might be lying in a healer house for one week." Kt muttered while staring at the burning fire, which is still glowing at the target board.

The fire blazed for an tire minute before dissipating in the thin air. Kt adjusted his stance and focused on his actions.

"ARDEN IGNIS TELUM"

This time he successfully released the arrow with good timing, and with a streak of fire, the arrow blasted the target board. Unlike last time, the blasted fire particles spread all a the floor, igniting the room with burning gre flames.

Number '7' was displayed on the target board, and thankfully, the fire didn't spread in the room and dissipated after one minute.

"It seems like the fire is not an obstacle to my practice. But my proficicy is very low with the Arcane Bolt Arrow compared to the Void Breaker Arrow. Let's practice it to perfection; I can worry about proficicy later." Kt muttered while gripping the Victor bow tightly.

Holding his breath, Kt began releasing Arcane bolt arrows one after another in differt directions. To avoid calamities, he didn't fire two arrows in the same direction at a time.

"Boom… Boom… Booommm…"

Explosive noise reverberated in each second. The Fire Kirin sat in one corner, staring at burning flames. Oddly, the Kirin eyed the flames lovingly, its saliva drooling, staring at the burning fires all a the room.

"3… 6… 7… 5… 8… 9… … 4… 3… 8…"

Most of his arrows resulted in single-digit numbers, and rarely he had a few double-digits. The highest number he touched was 3.

But Kt did not lose his spirit; the explosive fires indicated that his arcane fire bolt arrow was ough to put his emies in bed for months.

While Kt got busy in his practice, Black Belle Miss came again to see the situation in the combat rooms. She felt surprised wh she saw Ruby standing outside like a gatekeeper.

With an angry glare, she rushed towards Ruby. "What are you doing outside? Do you forget what we trained you for?" Black Belle asked with a serious look.

"Elder, what can I do? That fool ignored me and locked the combat room for practice. He didn't ev spare me a glance." Ruby replied casually.

"You are the damn fool. That guy is a big fish, and his pet is worth a fortune. I specifically arranged this task for you to raise your position. But you seem not to be serious about your task. What a waste of time." Black Belle Miss spoke impatitly as anger flared up on her face.

Ruby immediately knelt on one knee, understanding her low IQ mistake. "Please forgive me, elder. I thought the young man was a pauper and didn't use any of my skills. Please give me another chance... I will prove my worth to you." Ruby said it in a determined tone.

Black Belle Miss stared at Ruby for a few second before replying. "Rise up. This is the last chance for you." Ruby said with a fierce look while taking out trays of food bowls that were freshly cooked.

"The silver bowls are for his pet, and the gold bowls are for the young man. I added 'Dream elixir' in the silver bows for pet and 'Elixir of Youth' in the gold bows. Make him eat the food at any cost. Use every skill to seduce that fellow." Black Belle instructed with a mean look.

"But elder, isn't the elixir of youth too much for a young man? He might become fierce and uncontrollable." Ruby asked with a serious look, knowing how the elixir of youth turns humans into beasts.

"That's not our problem. He is your first man. So, use him as a test subject to check your pottial." Black Belle Miss replied with an evil smile and took her leave from the combat rooms.

Ruby stood with a silver tray in her left hand and a gold tray in her right hand. The fresh food is mixed with elixirs, releasing an aromatic, intoxicating smell.
