You’re wizard, Kal

Kal's POV~

.

"So, you're sure you'll take the mage path?" I heard Miss Bellatrix speak behind me as I put on a set of armour above my Kryptonian suit.

"Yes," I replied while tying my boots and reaching for the armour's straps.

While struggling to reach for them, I felt the stern woman move behind me and start helping me.

"Thank you," I said as I reached out for the gauntlets lying on the sofa.

"You know…" Miss Bellatrix began. "The Knight's path is more suitable for you, right? It will bolster your already strong body to the next level, making you invincible on the same Tier." She finished making me chuckle.

"You speak as if I'm already not," I replied smugly.

"Don't be cocky." The stern lady flicked my exposed neck making me flinch from the sudden pain.

"What was that?!" I couldn't help but shout and try to jump away from her but the strong hand of the old woman firmly held me down.

"Don't jump. Let me tie the straps properly." Miss Bellatrix said with an oblivious look.

"No, forget about straps, lady. How the hell did your flick made me feel pain when even the full charged attack of Tier-5 Knight can't manage to do so? And how the fuck are you holding me down so easily." I shouted and in my eternal stupidity, I forgot how much the posh lady hates curse words or vulgar words in general.

"Mind your tongue, Boy," She said and despite my back facing her I could feel her stern and disappointed gaze.

A part of me wanted to retort for being called a boy. I was in my mid-thirties despite currently looking like a teen. But I didn't protest because I knew the lady calling me a boy was more than five hundred years old.

For her, even my few times-great grandfather is probably a boy as well.

"Sorry." I apologise, getting an approving nod before I pointed at the hand holding me by the shoulder. "How are you doing this, I can go toe to toe with Tier-5 Knight without losing."

Miss Bellatrix scoffed at my repeated questions.

"You think fighting a Tier-5 equally is impressive?" She asked and I almost nodded but stopped at the last moment.

I mean for a guy who came from a relatively normal world, it was impressive to fight a man who cut a small hill in two with a single slash.

But good thing I'm aware of the upper power limit of this world.

The so-called True Heroes and Demon lords can destroy multiple continents in a single attack and if the size of those continents is stated correctly then those attacks can destroy planets the size of Earth just as easily.

Yeah… this world has Planet Busters, multiple at that.

But so what!!! I'm a Kryptonian and not just any Kryptonian but the biggest baddest of them all. The one who folds universes in two with his bare hands. The one who created a Big Bang just to restart the universe. The one who outlived the universe itself. The legend Superman.

Can he beat Goku though? I almost snickered at the meme that just popped out of nowhere.

Ignoring my amusement I shook my head at Miss Bellatrix who continued.

"Yes, that's right, it is not impressive. Only after Tier 5 that the dregs get divided with the real powerhouse. Tier 6 is like a barrier that only once passed could someone be called a master in the Akashic World."

"Heh? I'll probably cross that barrier in another day or two," I said confidently but Miss Bellatrix's next words poured cold water on it.

"I don't think so, It will probably take you more than a month. The gap between Tier 5 and 6 is huge. And every subsequent Tier, the gap will keep widening. With the speed you're improving currently, it will take a decade for you to reach Tier 9, if you keep improving that is."

She finished and motioned me to turn around.

I followed her instructions and hand my arms to her as she tied the gauntlets.

I mulled over her sharp words. Although it did dampen my emotions slightly they were the truth.

Superman also needed a sun dip or two to reach Planet Buster level.

"You still gonna take the Mage path despite knowing all this?" Miss Bellatrix spoke again, breaking me out my thoughts.

"Yes," I repeated the answer with same conviction.

"Why? The Knight's path will strengthen your physique even further and your strong body will also give you an unmatched talent in Knight's path, unlike the Mage path where intelligence dictates your limit." She asked, tying the gauntlet and looking into my eyes.

"Geez! Thanks for calling me a brute, but as you said my physique is incredibly strong. So what difference a few buckets of water will make in that ever-growing ocean?"

My question elicited a silence from her and seeing her silence I answered.

"Not much difference and at some point nothing at all. So it's better to learn the Mage path and improve my arsenal and versatility." And cover one of my major weaknesses.

I left the last part unsaid. To be honest I think I would have a great talent for Mag path similar to Knight Path. Superman wasn't only known for his brute strength but also his quantum computer like brain.

That alone will give me an unmatched talent for Mage path, and not to mention once I reach Tier-8 and forms a Hero egg or Demonlord seed, My body would be able to directly use Magicules. I wouldn't have to dilute it with mental or physical energy to make Mana and Aura.

I will be able to use abilities of both Mana and Aura once I become a saint. No need to think much about it. Miss Bellatrix wouldn't have worried if she knew that too.

Speaking of her, Miss Bellatrix didn't say anything after that. She just silently brought the cape and tied it to my armour before handing me the sword that came with the armour.

Once she was done with everything, she handed me the ticket to use the teleportation gate to my intended destination— The dungeon city Orario, the capital of the United Federation. The country founded and managed by the otherworlders.
