Somewhere in the vast forest and high mountain peaks, six figures arrived at a location and stood quietly.
Elias stood tall, looking at the five of them.
Standing beside the others, Donato slightly nodded before speaking.
"After some discussion, Junior proposed a plan that we take turns in teaching you our knowledge for each day, young master."
"Go on."
Elias nodded calmly.
"Based on the maximum efficiency and potential, Junior suggested that the order should be; Galilei, Taurus, Alexus, Junior, and finally, Donato."
Before he could ask the reasoning, Donato continued.
"Galilei is a Combat Mage, he exhausts mana and stamina quite fast. He should teach you the first day."
"Taurus is a Hunter, he would help you in your hand-to-hand combat so even without mana you're not helpless. To prevent consecutive mana overuse, he should be second."
"Alexus is also a Combat Mage. By that time, you should be safe from overuse and could exhaust your mana once more."
"After Alexus, since Junior is a Sorcerer, he can help you relax in meditation and control your mana more efficiently. He can also teach you Intermediate Fire spells."
"As for me, I'm the last, also a Hunter. My expertise is guns and marksmanship… but I can only teach you archery for the moment. So I will teach you basic survival skills along with archery instead."
The world of Aegis contains mana which allows the birth and existence of Rankers. After people become Rankers, they have three professions to choose from.
[Hunter], [Sorcerer], and [Combat Mage].
[Hunters], among the two other professions, are the most common types of Rankers. A distinct trait about them is that they lack talent in control of mana and magic.
However, in compensation, they are experts in scouting, killing, and finding weaknesses in their opponents. They are experts in wielding weapons and using them to their limits.
Although they might not compare in raw power to the two other professions, it could be said their killing power is the highest among the other professions.
On the other hand, [Sorcerers] are long-ranged magicians that have expertise in magic. They are known for their great control of mana to use magic and large mana reserves.
They use magic symbols and great focus to launch magic spells from afar, causing immense destruction. Although their raw power could be considered the strongest, they are also known for their physically weak disposition.
Unlike [Hunters] or [Combat Mages], [Sorcerers] are known to have weak physiques and strength, making them efficient in large battles but inefficient in one on one.
And lastly, [Combat Mages], the rarest and most sought types of Rankers. Among the two other professions, they are without a doubt, the most well-rounded and considered the best profession among the rest.
With the mana control and mana reserves of [Sorcerers], strong physique, and weapon talent of [Hunters], [Combat Mages] are without weakness and have the combined advantage of the other two professions.
Possessing great physical strength and magical talent for sorcery, they are the elite force and trump cards of many organizations due to their potential alone.
They are most suited to traversing the dungeon and leading the expeditions, considering their well-rounded powers and abilities. However, a major flaw is that they are too rare and too hard to raise.
[Combat Mages] require time, immense talent, and valuable resources to fully raise. It could bankrupt an organization if it casually decided to raise one without consideration.
Hearing their explanation, Elias was easily convinced.
"But… young master, are you sure? Do you wish to be a combat mage and learn from all of us? It will be extremely difficult.."
At this moment, Donato suddenly asked with a serious expression.
"Yes. I have decided. It's the best profession for me,"
Elias nodded confidently. It was not blind confidence or immense arrogance that spurned such a decision, he was not an idiot.
He really did have the qualifications for it.
Of course, if it was before this, he might not have the talent and qualifications for it. But right now, he was confident that only [Combat Mage] would suit him.
Elias' eyes flickered silently.
[Talent: Indomitable Spirit, Limitless.]
[Limitless: Breaking the shackles of a mortal vessel, transcendence of body and soul, beneath heaven and earth, I alone am the worthy one.]
After completing the mission of [Student of Arcana Academy], he immediately used one of the rewards, [Advanced Talent Selection], and picked the talent of Limitless.
It rather had a simple and straightforward use.
It allowed the person to be compatible with all kinds of powers and weapons, gaining immense potential and talent for everything in the world.
A master of the blade may not necessarily be a talented spear user, but with this? It was possible!
A fire sorcerer may not necessarily be proficient in water spells and magecraft, but with this? It was possible!
The strongest magician may not necessarily be the strongest warrior, but with this? It was possible!
It was the best talent out of everything on the list. It broke common sense. As its title suggests, it had limitless potential!

After using all of his 500 status points to advance to D-Rank, he gained 300 extra status points after advancing.
If one looked closely, one would realize that something had changed on the status page. Mainly, the D-rank (200) requirement turned to being (100) requirement instead.
Limitless made him have immense potential and talent that everything became far easier to increase now.
Seeing the growth stat turn into questions marks, Elias furrowed his brows silently.
'It didn't decrease... right?'
Regardless, he did feel like he improved somehow after gaining Limitless. It was like nothing was impossible for him.
After looking through his status page, Elias quickly removed the system interface in front of his screen and turned to face his five new 'teachers'.
"Let's start."
Donato and the rest looked at each other before most of them stepped away, leaving Galilei in the spot alone.
Looking at Elias, Galilei smiled and threw a plain wooden sword at him.
"Catch, young master."
Woosh!
'This..'
Elias thought, catching the plain wooden sword in the air. However, he didn't expect that the moment he did so, Galilei rushed in and thrust his own wooden sword!
The training officially began!
