The aftermath part 2

Max was really mad. He had an instinct to order his people to attack the remaining powers left of the Ruth empire, but when he saw that the temperature of the soil was still insane and would only cause his people to get injured or just die so he decided against it. After a little bit of back and forth in his mind Max cooled down a little bit and said, while amplifying his voice: "I agree to negotiations. Contact me every week. When I will be ready I will answer the call and tell you when we will meet. Do not go back to the capital of the empire. The negotiations will be here, in Manchester city. Now fuck off."

After that Max started giving orders to the different higher ups of the city to fix the city walls and take care of the people. He told the mage and the grand knight how to compensate the different people, according to injuries sustained or deaths in the family. After that he just gave them the ability to make the rest of the decisions after giving the basic lines of what they needed to do. After that he just went to rest and replenish his powers. He knew that the powers from the capital will take time to arrive here.

At the day after in the morning Max came to see how well the city walls were getting fixed and he was happy to see that the earth mage apprentices were doing a good job. They were not very strong as individuals, but as a team they did well. Max could finally enjoy the good weather and the sun outside. It was a sunny and warm day and after all the suffering he got in the last few weeks he felt like he was finally taking care of things in his life. He finally felt he could really protect himself in this land. That not a big amount of people could really force him to do something that he will be against in his mind. Now his main goal was to master the supernova and the flight skill and in that way to be sure he was a real high mage and not something in between a mage and a high mage like he was now, when he should crush people like ants like he did right now with his supernova, but with maximum precision and not by luck, while hitting his city as well in the process. He saw the devastation he caused with this mass attack skill. Such power should be controlled well. It must be controlled well. Because of that Max gave his last instructions and just flew towards the capital Alexandria to go into his last seclusion for the near future. Generally now that was the last thing he wanted to do, but he had to do it. When he Max arrived at the capital after a few days of flight he got reported what happened to Valeria, Alisher and Peter which caused them to be dumbfounded for a long time and after giving them the main course of what they should do and explaining what he needed to do now he just went into the gaming club, while telling them that if they will have more questions they can find him over there. Max did not try to probe what was going on in the capital during the almost two months he was absent. He was sure everything should be fine generally.

After a little chit chat Max went into the gaming club to train his two basic high mage skills. Max thought it should not take a long time to master the skills but he was very wrong. While he did get initial success making the supernova work with a long chant it had a few problems that he could not solve for a long time. Each time he shot a supernova he was not very accurate and when he lost concentration for a short time he blew himself to bits. He felt how it was to get burned to death. It was not fun. When he did not burn himself to death there was another problem when he just used all of his mana for one blow and he was like a weak child after. Even an ant like an apprentice knight could kill him in that state. It took Max around five months to master the supernova skill with the long chant when he will use it and kill himself by calling a copy of himself to recharge his mana. He understood the fact that his chant caused his mana to fully deplete. Because of that he started to use this skill with no chant and just with his understanding of the skill and it was a real shit show. It started from him blowing his hand to bits and killing himself countless amounts of times. It was like Max was a masochist that liked to torture himself. After around a month of suiciding Max started to shoot something similar to a supernova and hit it all over the place and kill himself in a new way. He already lost count of how many times he blasted himself to death. The good thing was that he could control the amount of power of he used in every strike. It took him a very long time to start controlling it. You can take a guess, but Max killed himself for around a year and after that it took him around five years to control the skill well when he could tell that he knew the skill on a good level. After that was the flight skill training. Max thought this skill was very important to him for traveling, fighting and moving around. It was the bread and butter of any high mage. At least that was what Max believed in. Because of that Max took a whole year to learn how fly like a champ. Here unlike the supernova skill he wanted to perfect the skill. It was a lot easier and Max only got relaxed when he could win the level six bot of himself using this skill. The first few times were a total disaster. The bot trashed him like a newbie, but it helped Max to learn faster. The amount of times he crushed from the sky because of bad control or getting hit and not being able to stabilize fast enough was something he lost count of in the first month of his training. He only got a relaxed when he felt he was flying on the same level like the level six bot did. When he won over the bot a few times and felt that he was fine with his skills he finally exited the simulation. During this time not many things happened. He met Valeria when he was in the mood and generally got all of his desires met. It was a lot more intense in the beginning of his stay in the simulation, because he did not touch anyone while moving towards the capital of the Ruth empire and back. He was hungry for intimacy and Valeria was happy to supply him with all she could offer. After getting out of the seclusion Max needed to wait a few days until the talisman he got from the Ruth empire rang.

Max picked up the call and said: "Meet me at the gate of Manchester city in three days in the morning."

After that Max hang off the call and after telling everyone that he was going to Manchester he flew away to the distance.
