Michael who is now Ian was really angry at what Lucifer did but he knew that he couldn't complain about it, Ian didn't want to get involved in the novel even though he can steal a lot of good opportunities from the protagonist it's better to stay away from the troubles.
"Uhm"
Ian slowly opened his eyes in the real world and what greeted him was the sign of the hospital ceiling.
"Doctor, doctor the patient has... "
As soon as he opened his eyes the nurse assigned to him informed the doctor about his recovery.
Soon the doctors started their check, awakening as a mage sometimes led to coma which is common for the people who awaken so it's not surprising for the people to fall into coma when they become mage .
In less than 2 hours the doctors had all finished with the check up and he was discharged with his mage's certificate which was already issued while he was in coma.
For 1 month of staying in the hospital all of his savings have been used and he doesn't have any money on himself.
"Uh what to do?"
Looking at the futuristic city, it was familiar to him by the memories but still he wasn't used to this, he just has two thousand Arcas on him and needs to find a place to stay in, his previous room which he rented was not available to him anymore as the rent wasn't paid on time and not living in it for a month, the laws here are really troublesome.
"Thankfully i have already prepared for a situation like this"
He called a cab to go to the Mage Association building located at the centre of the city.
Entering the building he went to the third floor of the building which was reserved for the runemasters.
The world has records of magic as long as written history could account for and Mage Association is an organisation which consists of mages and is responsible for monster extermination and maintaining order in the society it is like the government of mages.
"Hello I want to take the Rune Master's test"
The receptionist looked up to me and frowned looking at my clothes she doubted me whether i could afford to even learn Runes.
Runes are special characters which when mana is injected can create a special phenomenon to occur.
Runes are popular and used in both military and civilian uses and in this world it is rare to find rune-masters because only the rich could afford the luxury of learning runes.
Ian was currently wearing a black hoodie and jeans which was all he had, the rest were all either torn or worn out.
The receptionist doubted Ian but then also politely replied and took 1500 Arcas as the fees for appearing in the exam, luckily a slot for the examination which will be happening in thirty minutes is free so he could appear in it.
The exam consists of questions regarding runes and to perform the given runes in front of the invigilators once.
I aced the examination with a perfect score and registered myself as an apprentice rune master.
Rune-masters are sorted in different ranks with apprentices being the lowest rank of all.
Identity of being rune-master is very important as it is considered a noble profession and are supported by mage association, with this rune masters are protected by the mage association from discrimination and threats from the people in high positions.
Ian exited the building and checked in at a cheap hotel for today and slept as soon as he layed on the bed, writing runes required a lot of mana and he who had just awakened as a mage didn't have enough mana because of which he was very tired just by giving the exams.
