——"Magic Circuits."

That is the innate magical power source that all magicians possess, the simulated nerves within a magician's body that determine their aptitude. It can convert life force into the fuel required for performing magic and generate magical energy, making it the most crucial element for a magician.

Without it, not only is normal magic usage impossible, but becoming a magician itself is out of the question.

Even with magic circuits, the quality of the magic circuits determines a magician's talent. After all, they are the nerves responsible for generating magical energy.

The better the quality, the stronger the magical energy produced. The more magic circuits there are, the greater the amount of magical energy generated.

Therefore, possessing high-quality magic circuits makes a magician more powerful.

However, magic circuits are predetermined and not influenced by external factors. They are determined by the soul and can't be increased or changed.

In other words, a magician's aptitude is fixed from birth and cannot be altered.

Many magicians have wracked their brains to produce excellent magic circuits. In the end, they can only improve their offspring's talent by accumulating bloodlines and mating with partners who have exceptional magic circuits to increase the magic circuits of their descendants.

This is how the concept of "distinguished families" and "nobility" emerged in the world of magic.

The longer the history of a distinguished family or noble lineage, the more superior the accumulated magician bloodline, resulting in higher aptitude among their descendants.

Olga Marie's family is one such noble lineage with an accumulated magician bloodline spanning hundreds, if not thousands of years, boasting extremely high magical aptitude.

Compared to Olga Marie, Rozen is not from any distinguished family or nobility. In the world of magicians, he is just a wild child.

However, Rozen was born with exceptionally outstanding magic circuits, and his talent is not inferior to Olga Marie; it even seems to surpass her.

Now, Rozen has activated the magic circuits within his body, allowing the accumulated magical energy to start flowing.

*Bleep!*

It feels like an electric shock.

Under this sensation, the magic circuits imprinted on Rozen's soul become like an electric circuit, generating a current called magical energy while gathering it at his fingertips as he wills.

Immediately, Romen uses the magical energy emanating from his fingertips to draw a pattern on the ground.

In the next moment, magic is activated.

*"Clang!"*

Carved on the ground, the magical formation became a part of the magic circle, allowing radiance to leak out from between Romen's fingertips. If there were a third person present, they would notice that the scale of this radiance and the magical formation was strikingly similar to when the English Heroic Spirit Summoning System was activated and the Servant was summoned.

Then, a "miracle" that ordinary people couldn't achieve appeared in this world.

*"Chirp!"*

It was the sound of birds chirping.

The magical formation on the ground seemed like a gateway to another world, allowing a flock of small birds to fly out from the radiance and hover above Rozen. Only then did Rozen open his eyes, gazing at the birds flapping their wings, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"There can't be many magicians who can summon so many familiars at once, even if you search all of Chaldea."

This was confidence, and it was also a fact.

Here, it's worth mentioning something.

As a magician, Rozen undoubtedly had first-rate talent.

However, the types of magic were diverse, even divided into numerous systems. Many magical families focused on one particular system of magic, passing it down through generations, hoping that their descendants could inherit their research and eventually reach the root of magic, understand the truth, and become all-powerful.

For Rozen, while he was first-rate in terms of magical talent, his innate aptitude for one specific system of magic was astounding—the "Summoning" system.

For some reason, Romen possessed a talent for summoning that surpassed ordinary expectations. He was exceptionally skilled in controlling and commanding the summoned entities, as if he were born to master the art of "Summoning." This ability was truly awe-inspiring.

This was precisely why Olga Marie felt so angry about Rozen's carelessness. One of the reasons for her frustration was Rozen's astonishing talent, yet he wasted it by not diligently practicing magic and spending his days playing games and browsing websites.

Such a waste of talent was truly a sin. The more ancient the magical lineage, the less forgivable such behavior was.

What made Olga Marie even more unable to accept was that the Summoning system was a crucial aspect of Chaldea's existence.

Summoning Heroic Spirits.

Commanding Servants.

Controlling familiars.

These were all vital components of Chaldea.

These qualities are the most important for a Master.

With his unparalleled talent in this aspect, Rozen naturally became the most outstanding participant in Chaldea. Not only did he possess astonishing aptitude for Spiritrons transfer, but he was also a master of summoning magic. His qualifications as a Master were truly exceptional, making Rozen an unparalleled treasure within Chaldea.

This is precisely why Olga Marie couldn't forgive Rozen's wasteful behavior.

As a result, the conflict between Rozen and Olga Marie escalated, almost always leading to arguments whenever they met, unable to see eye to eye.

Of course, for Rozen, Olga Marie's anger was inexplicable.

"Why does it concern that girl even if I'm wasting my talent? It's my own business."

As he spoke those words, an emotion began to well up within Rozen.

His mind unintentionally started to recall the past.

Recalling the pure white room.

Recalling the pungent scent of medicine.

Recalling the cold instruments.

Recalling the uncomfortable bed.

And then...

"Why am I thinking about those things?"

Quickly shaking his head, Rozen tried to dismiss all those unpleasant memories, taking a deep breath to refocus his mind.

"Disperse!"

With a wave of Romen's hand, the birds hovering in mid-air immediately scattered in all directions, flying into the forest with their melodious chirping.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Romen finally turned around and looked at the Servant who had remained obediently in the same spot since being summoned.

"Follow me."

Giving a brief command, Romen walked toward one direction of the forest.

The shadow-like Servant behind him remained silent, stepping on the dry leaves and branches beneath their feet as they followed closely.

Normally, Servants wouldn't be this obedient. They had their own will and values. It wouldn't be strange for them to conflict with their Master's orders and defy them.

However, for these mindless Servants, they were merely obedient tools for combat.

"I really want to command a true Servant and experience what it feels like."

With such emotions in his heart, Rozen, accompanied by the shadowy Servant, disappeared into a corner of the forest.
