One month went by in the blink of an eye. Arthur went to the training under Leonard's command every day and kept improving quickly, making everyone around him astonished.
Arthur's name was getting more attention in the castle, especially after he reached the tenth circle in one month! Leonard wanted him to reach the eighth circle in that time, which was already pretty good, but the tenth? It shocked him so much that the duke went to the ceremony of Arthur's new position as the squad's vice-captain!
That vampire, the one looking for ways to harm Arthur, could not find one as Arthur barely left his room during that month, focusing solely on his training. Also, what could he do with his power against a tenth-circle mage? He never imagined Arthur would increase his power in such a short period.
"Congratulations on becoming the vice-captain, Arthur," the duke said to him.
"I am Duke Mikael, I think you have the right to know my name now," Mikael said.
