Mage Adam

The devil was about to be promoted as well.

Mage Victor ignored the devil and turned to Adam again, "Although I have great confidence in you, you should still settle your personal matters. You have a day to say goodbye to your friends and settle your remaining balances, or even leave now to get a good night\'s rest. I don\'t want you to have any regrets if you die in the trial."

Adam shook his head, "I\'m ready. I can leave whenever."

Mage Victor nodded with satisfaction, "I\'ll wait for you in the teleportation hall, then."

After Mage Victor left, the devil started to complain, "But Master! I want to say goodbye to my friends!"

Adam glanced at the devil, "It\'s just a trial. You can return to Moldo when we\'re done. Saying goodbye doesn\'t really make any sense."

"But..."

"Shut up!"

Adam sent an arc of magic towards the devil\'s amorphous form, stuffing them back into his mind. He took a last look at his empty laboratory and flew towards the tower.

Unexpectedly, most of his acquaintances were waiting for him.

It was no secret that Adam was about to embark on a completely different path from them, and they all realised that this may be the last time they would see Adam.

Their feelings were complicated, but the one clear thing is that they weren\'t worried for Adam at all.

His friends came to hug him one by one. Adam, who had always hated physical contact, didn\'t refuse the hugs.

"My friend..." Elliott blubbered tearfully. "You... you-"

Adam\'s heart warmed and smiled, rubbing Elliott\'s shoulder, "I\'ll be fine."

William didn\'t know what to say as they shared a wordless hug.

Crystal gently hugged Adam, admiration flashing in her eyes as she gave Adam a big smile, "Good luck, Adam."

Adam smiled back. He knew Crystal would take good care of herself.

This process repeated endlessly until it was over. Mage Victor conjured the portal and held Adam\'s shoulder, "I wish you good luck. I hope to meet you at another height in the future."

Both of them stepped into the portal without looking back and vanished.

Adam had no way of gauging how far the Moldo Tower was from the Holy Tower.

Today, Adam was incredibly strong, so teleportation had next to no effect on his body. The moment he stepped into the new world, and he could see the amazing world present before him.

The city was far bigger than he imagined -- creatures constantly shuffled in the sky. Adam couldn\'t sense much magic from the creatures. This world was equivalent to what was envisioned to be Earth\'s future.

The concentration of ether was abnormally high, however. Adam could barely contain the surge of magic rushing into his soul.

Mage Victor shone a ray of light on Adam, calming the effects of the sudden surge of ether, "This is the City of Mayer, the largest city in the Holy Tower\'s domain. There aren\'t any mortals living here. The lowest form here are mage apprentices who are on the verge of promotion."

Adam pursed his lips. This environment was too dangerous for ordinary apprentices and mortals to survive. The ether-rich environment alone could kill them instantly.

"This city was named after Archmage Mayer, and it is one of the most prosperous places in the Mage World," Mage Victor explained as he pointed towards a complex that pierced endlessly through the heavens. "And there is the Fifth Element Tower."

The devil plopped out of Adam\'s mind in astonishment. Several mages eyed the devil, but it was too late, "My god..."

Mage Victor greeted the mages gently, and they nodded back after realising that this devil was a summoned creature.

"Let\'s go meet some of my old friends. Perhaps you\'ll see other apprentices like you who will participate in the trial as well."

Adam didn\'t ask who he was going to meet as he was being lifted from the ground, but he was curious what the Fifth Element Tower was, "What is the purpose of the Fifth Element Tower?"

"You have seen the Transdimensional Mage of Moldo, but that isn\'t her real body. In fact, after a mage becomes a Transdimensional Mage, their real body would be too powerful to be contained in this world. If they were to reveal their true form here, they could easily shift reality and cause multiple disasters. Hence, their real bodies are contained in small cracks of the void."

Adam nodded, remembering that he saw Mage Victor\'s true form years back. It was easy for him to understand now.

He was excited knowing that he was finally about to come into contact with the real mage world.

"Here we are."

Adam raised his head, seeing the words [The Rex Club for Mages -- Rex Consortium] written on the building in front of him.
