Chapter 4

Listening to his father's words, Cain felt a twinge of sentimentality, realizing that even with the help of a cheat, he wouldn't be able to break through to a holy knight. It would be a significant blow to him if he hadn't had the qualification to become a wizard.

"Now that you have the qualifications of a wizard, you can take this bracelet; it will guide you on how to reach the wizard continent," his father said, handing him the bracelet.

Taking the bracelet from his father's hand, Cain's mind was instantly flooded with a variety of knowledge, some of which even his father didn't know.

"Did you learn anything about how to get to the wizard continent?" Craig asked eagerly.

"Um, the Wizard continent sends a boat to pick up many qualified people from different continents every three years. The next time they will appear here will be after three months at the Bay port in the Freldin Empire," replied Cain. He knew about Bay port as it was one of the most popular ports on the whole continent, located in one of the five major empires, the Freldin Empire.

In addition, he also learned some additional information: the world they live in is called the Wizard World and is one of the most powerful worlds known in the multiverse. It mainly attacks other worlds to plunder them for all they can, like slaves, knowledge, or resources. He also learned that the Wizard World has many continents as its main base, commonly referred to as the wizard continent. They currently live on a continent located at the corner of the world with many other continents, and there are many such areas in the Wizard World. But because of fewer resources in these areas, these continents are mostly visited by wizard apprentices who have no chance of becoming wizards.

"You need to get ready in the next two months as you will set off after two months; it takes about one week to get there," said Craig.

"Yes, Father," replied Cain.

After the meeting, Cain went on to practice the breathing method to try to reach the knight level as fast as possible; it could be a trump card for him while traveling to the wizard continent in case any accidents occurred.

While he was practicing, he felt a special sensation in his head. Focusing, he found his cheat had been refreshed.

Thinking for a while, he decided to upgrade his knight breathing method; even at the peak of Knight apprentice, it might take him at least a month with his talent, while for other geniuses, it might take years.

After upgrading his breathing method, his mind was immediately filled with much additional information. Feeling dizzy for a while, he focused on the information. He found the new breathing method was more complex compared to the previous one.

He tried running it and found the efficiency had increased by at least 25%, which could help him reach the knight level in about one and a half weeks.

He again focused on his cheat and found a countdown for one week in his mind.

After that, he started to practice until the sun started to set and went to rest in his room.

He continued to train hard for the next week, feeling the distance between him and the knight rank shortening.

"Now, what should I upgrade?" thought Cain after feeling his cheat refresh.

After thinking for a while, he decided to improve his wizard talent as it would determine how much he could achieve in the wizarding world.

After confirming, he felt a cool sensation throughout his body with a comfortable feeling that continued for about five minutes. After improving his wizard talent, he felt his thinking becoming faster and more meticulous.

Checking his cheat again, he found the countdown of five months. Even though both were talents, just the difference in three months' time told him the difference between a knight and a wizard profession.

Another week passed like this when suddenly one day Cain felt a slight tingling on his cheat. He knew it was a stage before a knight could condense a life core. So with his utmost focus, he practiced the breathing technique. After about an hour, he felt a vast amount of energy strengthening his whole body, which continued for about five minutes.

Just feeling his new power, Cain felt he could beat his previous self effortlessly without even triggering his life core.

Thinking of the life core, he felt a ball of light in his heart with a dark crow inside it with a vast amount of energy. He knew that crow represented his breathing method. And the amount of life force in his life core should surpass all other people's as he had condensed it using a more powerful method than the already high-end breathing method.

Due to the efficiency of his breathing method, he also thought of teaching it to his family, but not being able to explain its source didn't allow it as his cheat was his only way to become more powerful, and he couldn't leave any loopholes here. He didn't think that, like some protagonists in novels, he might be safe and sound while telling his loved ones about his cheat. Let alone a wizard, he might not even handle a Great knight now.

So while confirming his choice, he decided to repay his family in other ways after becoming a wizard. He had enough confidence that he might become a wizard with the help of his cheat.

The next month passed like this, with nothing else to do, he focused on his knight training. While his father was shocked at the speed he reached the knight level, he somehow attributed it to the Stone bracelet.

About a week before his departure, his grandfather and brother came to meet him and told him to pay more attention to safety than anything else, which made Cain feel the bond he had with them again. Only his sister didn't come, but it wasn't to be blamed, as his Ravenclaw family couldn't allow the information about his wizard talent.

As the time for his departure approached, his anticipation about the wizarding world continued to grow.
